Who has the most leisure time? The homeless
I also doubt the claim that people had less depression during medieval times
Depression is not a new phenomenon, but the increase in awareness is
And if I start listing all the other shitty things from medieval times I probably wouldn't get to an end today
Basically you could apply the same reasoning from that allthatsinteresting article to poor African countries or tribes to praise their way of life
"Well things were complete shit compared to now, but do you know what people had in abundance? Things that come with being a 3rd world country!" <:BIGBRAIN:501101491428392991>
it's going down boys
@ETBrooD No shit, but you're missing the point
It is more of a critique on the breakdown of society and the harmful effects of seeing people as commodity in the mindless pursuit of profit
I don't see it
Society isn't breaking down, it's rising up
>Some problems still exist and life is not perfect
>Ohhhh this means things used to be better
No
Depends on several factors
You're taking one factor and claiming it justifies the breakdown in other areas
Yeah it does
I like the breakdown of wars and violent crimes for example in exchange for the mindless pursuit of profit
It's a good trade
No it can't
It is a false dichotomy that you're presenting
I'm not using it as a dichotomy
Breakdown of wars and violent crimes need not come at the cost of mindless pursuit of profit
"cost"
You call it a cost, I call it a blessing
Semantics
Not really, just different values
You think it's bad when people pursue endless profit, I think it's good
Call it whatever, but one can be achieved without the other
Not really no
I can write an essay on the negative effects of asphalt culture which you call a blessing
The growth mindset can only survive in a world that isn't filled with war and other extinction events
In fact it is one of the major problems plaguing the world currently
I don't call that a blessing?
But it's quite late here so some other time
Ah yes, Verizon putting HuffPo up for sale
Left-wing media is dying, and dying fast
