    You joke but it really is.

    We are seeing the fallout of 2 world wars killing off so many fathers that the tradition of passing down male wisdom was broken, and was replaced by the ‘hollywood’ vision of masculinity, which is toxic af. Just look at how accepted slapping women was on film in the 40s-70s.

    The modern chantard incel stereotype is a direct result of boys growing up with few positive male role models in their close circles and none of them having the generational wisdom of their great grandfathers to pass down.

    Unfortunately, most people concerned with gender equality are so focused on dismantling the patriarchy that no one has a solid plan for re-establishing the positive male role model tradition.

    All of the social signs are there, China experienced this problem several times during the Warring States period and identified the root as ‘bare branches’, men with no prospect for a marriage or future that would form bands of criminals that would go around raping and pillaging.

    We are starting to see that a bit now with all of the white male mass shootings, and rape has always been a mostly invisible problem in our culture.

    And it’s going to get much, much worse unless we can find a way to re-establish the value of the wholesome male role model. And if you see who the male role models the youngest generation are choosing (Logan Paul is a great example) you’ll be just as pessimistic about our immediate future as I am.

    And for the longest time, mac and cheese was a luxury dish, and lobster was considered prisoner food.

    It’s kind of amusing to see the eating trends of the wealthy.

    At one point peanut butter and jelly sandwiches were rich food too, because they were able to afford the berries to make jam, or had land to grow them.

    Nowadays it is some of the cheapest lunch you can make.

    I think meat is going that route now, and in 15-20 years the only people who will be able to afford real meat will be the wealthy.

    That’s not super accurate, there were still public lands for hunting and chickens and goats were eaten regularly by non-nobles.

    That said, it wasn’t common to have meat at every meal.

    Also: feast days, and there were a fucktonne of them (more than the pitiful handful we get nowadays) and were almost always catered lavishly by their local lord as a show of wealth.

    I’m not saying life was ‘better’ then, just that we have a lot of misconceptions about historic periods, usually influenced by movies and other entertainment media.

    The Doctrine of Signs, haha good memories.

    Just as an aside: It has its roots in the ancient greek philosophers and was considered for centuries to be the pinnacle of rational thought. I mean, it wasn’t, but for literally more than a thousand years it has been a form of mental masturbation amongst the oldschool academic elite.

    Got a lot of shelf fungus prescribed as ear medication lol
