I think you'd find that hedonists would change before dying
yes
Lol, I don't think so. Why did other societies lose out then?
because they never got the chance
which other societies do you mean
primitives?
humanity was far far more violent in the past
Rome? Greek?
How many cities were completely destroyed and their entire populations destroyed because they were born believing in the wrong god
Chinese? Aryans?
or in the wrong country
or even of hte wrong race
if given the chance
they would change
theyve just never had the chance
That's why I favor the roman model
eg look at the people of north sentinel island
Yes, but the reason why Rome became so weak was because they cared less about virtue and more about pleasure.
Both Plato and Aquinas say that
"Rome was so weak"
I mean Rome was destroyed by barbarians
Well, just after their high point.
they had a good run though
the best yet
not hte best yet
look at hte british empire
theyve had the best civilizational run so far in humanities history
800 years. Well, Christianity and Islam had better but anyways
british empire did less for themselves and for the world
but
they civilized the majority of humanity
lmao
Westernised brutal cultures
temporarily *maybe*
they just didnt have enough time to finish it
Roman conquests and puppets were technologically and culturally improved for all time
Well, "brutality" is a very relative term. It is masculine.
British colonies reverted to savage backwardness immediately
I think we all see a problem with this
Lol, what problem?
