Pathetic

What's the point of the poem? Material Wealth is frowned upon at the expense of all that we covered. And modernity has sacrificed all of those in the specific pursuit of materiual wealth.

Challenging the conventional wisdom

And that modernity thing is not in here

i disagree with the assertion modernity has sacrificed 'all of those''

So the conventional wisdom in Norse culture is that wealth is great

Challenging the conventional wisdom, that is not present in modernity

Glad we covered that

raising life expectancy means your real friends live longer, etc

Now answer my question you disingenuous fuck

what good is having a friend if they die at age 34 on average

We just had thanksgiving, what is that about

No, listen to me before replying because I'm tired of having to read your answers while you type away giving only 3 seconds to my answers

Lol answer my question

I’ve answered yours

Now answer mine that you’re avoiding

By god, some of us even serverd in the military for reasons about protecting our country, truth liberty and all that jazz

How would the Doctrine of Fascism help restore these values to society?

Which part don't you understand that if wealth is a false friend against conventional wisdom, and that in the modern capitalist world wealth is placed above all else makes you think that people back then did NOT frown material wealth for the sake of it?

Because the conventional wisdom was that wealth is good

Which means it was not frowned upon

Now answer my question

Also the historical record shows that

No, go on. I want to hear you say it

I just did numb nuts

If conventional wisdom is more valuable in the face of material wealth what makes you think that people won't frown material wealth and by extension, modernity today?

What?

Go on XD

No dumbass, the conventional wisdom WAS that wealth is good

You're getting there

Get it?

That’s the entire conceit of the poem

The **specific** use of the word wealth in the context that the poem **needs to clarify** that wisdom is the **true wealth** and not material wealth

would they really frown on the world today? with all of our medicine and comforts

Right, the poem needs to clarify it, because EVERYONE ASSUMES THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE

Thus proving that in Norse pagan culture WEALTH WAS NOT CONSIDERED UNCLEAN

You stupid fuck

I'm curious as to where this line of reasoning goes. If modernity is bad, what do we replace it with

What do you think the point of the poem is

Honestly

Yes, it is because THEY HAVE PUT THIS WISDOM INTO THEIR POEMS TO ACT AS MORAL COMPASS
