@eigenrobot when the Qing ended the imperial exams in ~1900s? I suspect that's not a perfect analogy, that seems more like the state was collapsing first and then the intellectuals lost prestige.
Specific to economics, Mao certainly made sure their prestige collapsed :^)
@helscom Hey man that's a huge deal congrats 🎉
To express comradery I will recite the only Finnish words I know from memory:
Kuka synytti pahan
Kuka keksi valan ja rahan
Kuka maillman aluta
Sorka heron tallutta
I hope this brings you joy in your recovery. I have no idea wat means
@eigenrobot ok the replies state morganatic = mixed class marriage. I'm already in a morganatic marriage, my wife is from a royal bloodline, I am from a trailer park
what does morganatic mean?
(I could try Google but I prefer social explanations from real people)
(Also I am breaking the stigma around being ignorant and asking questions instead of pretending to know everything that exists as twitter posters often do)
Morganatic. The state of being Morgan.
