So it's like towards the end, when the Roman Empire, after Roman Republic, there was Roman Empire, towards the end, you can see the echo of what is happening in our country today at the end of Roman Empire.

Exactly.

The Western Roman Empire.

Exactly.

It's like all these things that we feel are new.

hedonism like people just completely you know doing whatever they want and like the destruction of the family unit all these has happened in the roman empire you just like see the echo of history happening again yes yeah i'll tell you what woke me up to this and i'm looking for the quote there's a great quote um something like if you don't want your son to be a roman

Post-modernism, that's the main issue.

It's like they think us as humans are very different and now somehow we are more advanced and like grew IQ points or something.

Not true.

We are the same biological systems

organisms we lived back then that we are now and that has been the case through the recorded history okay so the human that lived during ancient Egypt until now we have changed very little as like actual human species so all those arguments are come from a place of arrogance that's kind of what I'm what I'm saying is like

I am such an evolved human that I am not even comparable, and I have the right to judge that person, even though that person lived like hundreds, two hundreds, thousand years ago, and that person did this thing that according to my postmodern values, they're not correct.

Therefore, I'm going to judge that person.

I'm like, okay, that literally comes from the place of ego and arrogance.

But here's the good news.

There aren't that many of them.

They just happen to have very high conviction because high ego people, people with a large ego are by definition louder.

So it comes from the position of ego and these are just loud people and they're minority.

The problem that you pointed out, however, is correct.

People who are not like that are in general tend to be quieter.
