Why did Rome's infantry use swords and shields? Didn't the Greeks and particularly Alexander show that spear and shield or even spear alone is better? This seems like such a basic question but I have never seen a good reason for using swords as a primary weapon.
Picture minimally related.

after the french revolution, what were the terms "left wing" and "right wing" applied to?
>>
>>2877626
The romans did use phalanxes in their earlier history, but they found them to be really ineffective in rugged terrain (IE hills when they were fighting the samnites). Their particular sword/shield combo proved to be more effective against phalangites than another phalanx, demonstrated by them proceeding to BTFO the greeks.

Left supported revolution right supported the king. That was before the revolution.
Afterwards, left generally became a term for anything antagonistic to the existing hierarchy while the right wing supported said hierarchy.

"All men are created equal"
What should I read to fully understand the metaphysical implications of this? Is there a philosopher that explains this well?
I'm not quite sure what exactly it means either. Is it saying all men have the same capacity, or that all men should be treated as equals regardless of their capacity? If it's the latter, is there a rational justification for it? The only one I can think of is "do unto others as you would like them to do unto you". If it's the former, then I guess this begs the question as to what "capacity" means.

Who the fuck are they? What are their claims for being israelites? Literally every video i see is of them preaching and screaming on people that they are gonna be there slaves and etc.
They also seem to hate real africans too from most of their videos.

They actually have a pretty good point. It's a pretty obvious fact if you at all pay attention to geography of biblical history that they would be black. Egypt is in Africa and that's where Moses went to free his people, the Israelites. How do you explain all of their sculptures with black features like big lips and round noses? How do you explain all the ancient artifacts?

Since this is a board for the humanities I feel like topic is appropriate. In our contemporary culture there is a lot of attention on whether someone is "educated" or not. In political and news articles, one of the harshest insults that can be lobbied against a group is that they are "uneducated" and thus hopelessly unenlightened about the world. This is something I'm self-conscious about, because I personally never went to college. I actually do like to read about science and philosophy in my spare time, but from what I hear, actually attending a university is essential to getting an expanded worldview. How true is this, really? Is it impossible to be considered part of the educated class, if you did not actually attend college? What does it really mean when someone is "educated"?
Again this is something I'm pretty self-conscious about, because in modern politics it seems that not being educated is among the most damning insults possible.

What a stupid thing to be self-conscious about. In what situation would you personally ever be accused of being uneducated (in a pejorative way)? Hell, even if you are, that's nothing but ad hominem and doesn't address the point being made.
Just read your books and actually understand and internalize the contents, don't just spout off facts or whatever like it's a party trick to impress people (what 99% of 4chan does).
>>
>>2876822
I guess I just don't like being part of the "uneducated" statistic because it is also viewed as a negative.
I'm just curious what the educated mindset really means. Is it really necessary to BE at a university and experience it to get that enlightened state of mind?

lots and lots of knowledge is on the internet
learn if you want to, if you just want to impress ppl id try something more physical

Judaism, as from I understand it, is an interesting culture focused on education and the "here and now". If Judaism was evangelizing in the same way Christianity and Islam are, and managed to convert Europe into it over the course of history, would the world be in a much better state than it is now with an educated and cultured population?

As a Jew, no.
Having a billion Jews is a scary thing, there are too many fucked up things in the Torah that gets ignored. It would only be time before an ISIS type group popped up who wanted to kill all the Amalekites or something.
>>
Jew by blood here, agnostic though.
Torah is full of both extremely beautiful and quite ugly things. I could see that Jewish worship of education plays a good role in development of Europe. But there is quite a lot of things in the Torah that can be explained as calls to violence and fanaticism.
Personally, I would hate to see Judaism as large religion. It is a faith of Jews, it is our culutural foundation.
>>
Some Jews evangelise noahidism but outright proselytizing Judaism to gentiles would never work

Has there ever been a successful invasion where the aggressor didn't have overwhelming numerical superiority? It seems like an invasion where the attacker doesn't have at least a 4:1 advantage inevitably turns into a slow meat grinder.

I mean, the romans weren't exactly great for technological progress but they were extraordinary at engineering, arts and literature, at least compared to Western Europe in the centuries immediately after their fall.

What is the justification for priests/bishops not being allowed to marry given 1 Timothy 3 stating clearly that being married is not only permitted, but a requirement?
>This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
>2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
How can Catholics and Orthodox claim to be biblical if they don't allow their priests and bishops to marry?

Their priests can marry.
It's not the custom of the Latin rite but they are married priests in the Roman Rite.
Priests are married to the church

that's clearly not the intended meaning of the verse. besides it's well known from other early christian writings that priests often were married.
