You know… My generation catches a lot of crap. But consider - we are the product of a society-wide experiment or manufacturing pilot. I didn't wake up one day and decide I was a special snowflake. I simply had a father who cautioned me to keep that idea in a realistic context.

The adults of my childhood seem absolutely desperate to deflect their own culpability in the abject collapse of western civilization onto the generation who is ultimately unable to function in the wake of compound social engineering.

It doesn't change that a number of us are probably permanently fucked - and an entire decade or two of women rendered effectively sterile. But I find it rather disingenuous to act as though millennials raised themselves, gave themselves participation trophies, etc.

Part of the awakening of the snowflakes is the realization that their upbringing they built their world view around was incompetent where not outright malicious.

In our gifted courses, there was a certain effort to make sure we knew Egyptian, Greek, and Roman history/culture. I did not really think about it, then - but it has become more obvious as time has gone on that it's far more important to understanding the origin of ideas in our civilization than meets the eye.

There is a reason the military prefers Greek names and the scholars prefer Roman, for example. It's a subtle - yet revealing little bit.

Aegis vs Ares.

I think you missed the point of that lesson.

The laws were being distorted not to fulfill the purpose of keeping civilization functional and people served by it… But were instead a tool of the pharisee (the godliest of godly men of god) to extort the population or, in many cases, had become a tool for people to indulge in their own sins.

The lesson was simple - and something of a play (think of them as skits that would be performed). Men would accuse a woman of adultery because they wanted to change to the younger or prettier model of the time.

The pharisee were a rather broad caste, and among them were "lesser noble" types who often participated in such skits. Theater has always been a powerful teacher.

The idea here being that the law is meant to be used by those innocent who were wronged, not used by the sinful to one up someone else who sinned.

Our concept of sin is not the same. When it was said: "let he who is without sin" - it was in reference to the case at hand, not some manner of eternal damnation because you looked at a porno once. Their concept of sin was like our concept of guilt.

"Let he who is not trying to gain from killing this woman under the law cast the first stone."

Thus - where are your accusers?
