Well that's certainly something else... the million dollar question, how would we make something like that possible?

Well written dreambig, it sums up my views perfectly. Some of us aren't wired for a traditional life.

Yep, back in 2004, those were the days...I could wander into the Stonemason's Quarter of the old city and be surrounded by those humble, honest Christian artists. Sadly, even by 2006 it was going downhill and by 2008 the centuries' old order had been completely overturned. One of these days I'll make a pilgrimage back to those ancient streets and pour out a libation to that civilisation, now so long gone in the Olde Days of 2004...

aye, those were the good olde days indeed. caregivers took actual pride in bringing the villagers some heartfelt care. When soldiers came back from war and as they were walking down the town square and the common folks welcomed them as heroes,.... you could see the pride glimmer in their eyes.

Alright maybe it was earlier.

Nope, enjoying the decline.

The only thing that was good in the fifties, is that we had strong navy. Navy would have been exciting.

Everything else was "business as usual" where odds were more even.

Today, by soaking myself into learning new stuff, i can rise to 5% of population in terms of personal well being - stack cash, be a bachelor, live minimalist lifestyle, invest, as opposed to acquire debt, get married and have two kids, purchase stuff you don't need and squander all on anti-depressants and beers to forget your shitty everyday rotation.

The most important thing that I like from the cultural decline is the availability of game literature that has allowed me to discover the true nature of women in a rational way. If I hadn't had read those books, I probably would still be a hopeless beta guy.

Undoubtedly yes.


No offense, but I think you're reading too much into the question asked.

Edit: Holy shit, didn't realize DrCotard necro-bumped this thread.

Yes, but only if I could retain my current knowledge about this culture, so I could staunchly defend it. Without this knowledge, I'd probably work against the new society.
