Why Europeans had such hate boners for projectile weaponry? Greeks were butthurt about peltasts as if throwing javelins was the same as standing far in the back and shooting arrows and there is nothing wrong with that either it's not like the archers fucking assasinate them in their sleep.
Why Europeans thought ranged weapons were dishonorable but asians were cool with it? Also if they were so concerned about muh honorable melee combat why they used polearms which existed solely to keep the enemy far away? Pre gunpowder era people were seriously daft hypocrites.
OP is actually crazy retarded.

Just the knights, and then only when they were fighting with other knights. Arrows and crossbows were the weapons of poor, peaceful peasants with weak bodies and spirit and no knowledge of actual chivalrous combat, who fought for their lives and not for honor. But if it was peasants you were fighting, then it was perfectly fine to use their dishonoravle weapons against them.
was the fourth crusade a mistake?

The third crusade was an even bigger mistake to be honest
>people on this board actually think you are obligated to pay more money than you got because some pretender said so
Considering that it weakened the byz empire while itself failing to even hold out against one of its rump states, yeah it probably was.

He's one of my favorite monarchs. Because he banged his first cousin, once removed, who was at a time, engaged to his father.

Many of the posters here dont know anything about history either, though it doesn't stop them from repeating widely discredited theories and myths
probably not
there are plenty of people that only learned history from a cracked 10 ways europeans enslaved the world and stole the rights of women article
literally everyone here is a Wikipedia warrior
Let's talk about logic.
1. Is logic a branch of philosophy or a branch of math? After all, every modern logician had a math degree, e.g. Russell, Frege, Gödel, Hilbert, Kripke.
2. Can all philosophy be reduced to logic? I mean not necessarily propositional logic or first order logic, but perhaps some higher order logic, modal logic, fuzzy logic, quantum logic or any other known extension of logic. Or is there some way of thinking which can never be formalized?
3. How much logic do I need to know if I want to do serious philosophy?
Schopy compared feeling like you need to know logic to do philosophy is like feeling you need to read a biology textbook to digest your food
it's literally autism

Did he really say that? Where?
