the Enlightenment is actually a misnomer. It heralded the beginning of the end of the West, rather than its ascendency

Thanks
The enlightenment was a double edged sword, I disagree with it being a misnomer
The point is people used to know and understand the differences and now both men and women are being indoctrinated to see things through an ideological "lens".
you have to weigh the cost benefit of it
okay so we got the idea of a government of the people from it
here is my thought on egalitarianism
but at the same time, it led to women taking over our society
I think thats worse
There was this thing that separated men and women, it was called; the difference of spheres
"βAll men are not created equal. Some are born swifter of foot, some with greater beauty. Some are born into poverty and others born sick and feeble. Both in birth and in upbringing in sheer scope of ability every human is inherently different. Yes, that is why people discriminate against one another, which is why there is struggle, competition, and the unfaultering mark of progress. Inequality is not wrong, equality is.β - Charles Zi Britannia, Code Geass :V
Men should be in the public life, women the private
@Ettow I find it hard to disagree with that
:V
egalitarianism is complete cancer
leads to the stagnation and death of a society

Its a plant that was used as birth control in antiquity.
To the point of possible extinction.

Oh, that sounds like some serious shit
In this context, namely by the romans.
woot
Makes sense
Did women take it or men?

the romans faced the same problem we do today: decadence and complacency
>inb4 permanently sterilized men
eventually they looked their version of the comet in the face and did what we would do today: just fuck and do copious amounts of drugs
