>landWell yes, he was oversimplifying things. The point he was trying to make is that people were much more content. Nowadays we have a bunch of stuff, yet half the people in the world are depressed and unsatisfied.
I sure hope that things will get better in the long run, but seeing what they are like now and where it all seems to be heading...
This will sound extremely autistic, but back when I was about fourteen I played Katawa Shoujo and Lilly's route had this part about going to some vacation house of hers in a remote village. It was so idyllic and peaceful, I still remember that after eight years. Back then I hoped that one day I will move to such a place with my wife.
>degeneracyI think it should be less about sin and more about self-control. Humans are humans because they can control themselves, unlike animals. Order and control are what allowed us to become civilised after all. If we get rid of them then we will only regress and for what? Just so that some people can have a few extra minutes of fun? They'll still feel unfulfilled once the novelty wears off, they just fail to see the whole picture.
