@DemsRealRacists @cremieuxrecueil This isn’t causal inference. You’d actually have to isolate the effect to make a claim like this.

[Mark Carney Stan Club 🥂 @fuzzbool]

@DemsRealRacists @cremieuxrecueil You have causal inference on this or are you just citing a random period specific trend?

@Ulmer62336950 I would personally up my desired kids from 1-2 to 2-3 without pregnancy or fertility window concerns.

@jack_whitcomb_ Yes it sounds desperate on their part and implies I would be replaceable.

@AlexTISYoung Endogamy produces a whole bunch of cultural ills beyond genetic degradation.

@SteveStuWill Comparative advantage for labour, which is why they have declined post-industrially.

@NicholasD91704 The labour conditions of a bee farm are probably vastly superior to most of the sweat shops where your clothes are made.

@maxvonhippel Did Feynman never learn anything challenging?

I feel like a lot of reviews and general takeaways from Obsession, whether positive or negative, attempt to box it in when the movie’s clear goal is to take a genuine, honest look at how bad people (Bear) come to be via compromises, decisions, and indecisions.

@GwenLovesMovies He is evil but the evil stems from him being a coward and a massive pussy.

@DaemonDiomedes @OGTaylorB @Athens_Stranger @romanhelmetguy Impressive, but not sure how it relates.

[Mark Carney Stan Club 🥂 @fuzzbool]

@DaemonDiomedes @OGTaylorB @Athens_Stranger @romanhelmetguy I don’t think the church is some bastion of progress, they just preserved more of the culture that surrounded them.

[Mark Carney Stan Club 🥂 @fuzzbool]

@DaemonDiomedes @OGTaylorB @Athens_Stranger @romanhelmetguy No, I think you’re misunderstanding the argument.

I think the Renaissance understanding of antiquity was very akin to the Victorian understanding of the Middle Ages.

[Mark Carney Stan Club 🥂 @fuzzbool]

@DaemonDiomedes @OGTaylorB @Athens_Stranger @romanhelmetguy Mostly on account of Greek texts surviving via Rome and later the Church.

[Mark Carney Stan Club 🥂 @fuzzbool]

@DaemonDiomedes @OGTaylorB @Athens_Stranger @romanhelmetguy In a technical sense, obviously. But the idea of the modern west, absolutely not. That is a recent invention.

The Ancient Greeks would not be recognizably “Western” to modern eyes.

[Mark Carney Stan Club 🥂 @fuzzbool]

@DaemonDiomedes @OGTaylorB @Athens_Stranger @romanhelmetguy To the extent that is true, it is in a vague sense that is applicable to all premodern societies.

Ancient Greece itself is better understood as an extension of the rest of the ancient Mediterranean than as part of an Occident that didn’t yet exist.

[Mark Carney Stan Club 🥂 @fuzzbool]

@DaemonDiomedes @OGTaylorB @Athens_Stranger @romanhelmetguy No, they returned to their romanticized idea of what Greco-Roman society was like. The Renaissance and especially the enlightenment actually beared very little resemblance.

[Mark Carney Stan Club 🥂 @fuzzbool]

@DaemonDiomedes @OGTaylorB @Athens_Stranger @romanhelmetguy I think it probably hurt more than helped.

[Mark Carney Stan Club 🥂 @fuzzbool]

@DaemonDiomedes @OGTaylorB @Athens_Stranger @romanhelmetguy Not sure I agree. The distinctiveness of the modern west is much more an outgrowth of medieval Christianity than antiquity.

[Mark Carney Stan Club 🥂 @fuzzbool]

@DaemonDiomedes @OGTaylorB @Athens_Stranger @romanhelmetguy The past is a third world country.

[Mark Carney Stan Club 🥂 @fuzzbool]

@DaemonDiomedes @OGTaylorB @Athens_Stranger @romanhelmetguy Medieval —> Modern Europe was the most successful civilizational output ever and also consistently the least restrictive re women.

All and all, you’re wrong about the Ancient Greeks respecting women in any capacity. You can respect their achievements w/o romanticizing the bad.
