If he likes books, he can continue to enjoy the. My recommendation was to not let social expectations ruin that enjoyment. Its a minor handicap we share.

Ovid's Metamorphoses (Rolfe Humphries trans.)

The Four Ages

The Golden Age was first, a time that cherished
Of its own will, justice and right; no law,
No punishment, was called for; fearfulness
Was quite unknown, and the bronze tablets held
No legal threatening; no suppliant throng
Studied a judge’s face; there were no judges,
There did not need to be. Trees had not yet
Been cut and hollowed, to visit other shores.
Men were content at home, and had no towns
With moats and walls around them; and no trumpets
Blared out alarums; things like swords and helmets
Had not been heard of. No one needed soldiers.
People were unaggressive, and unanxious;
The years went by in peace. And Earth, untroubled,
Unharried by hoe or plowshare, brought forth all
That men had need for, and those men were happy
Gathering berries from the mountainsides,
Cherries, or blackcaps, and the edible acorns.
Spring was forever, with a west wind blowing
Softly across the flowers no man had planted,
And Earth, unplowed, brought forth rich grain; the field,
Unfallowed, whitened with wheat, and there were rivers
Of milk, and rivers of honey, and golden nectar
Dripped from the dark-green oak-trees.

>I love Stoicism, but my woman brain and emotions make it difficult sometimes.
It’s a shit philosophy for people with emotional issues.
You ought to replace it with Epicureanism.

Wonderful. All Iran had to say really. Maybe some of them did.

No, just capitalists. Lot of jews in that business of course.

Have you considered suicide? Annales, materialism, whatever you want to call it, it’s history in as full a scope as you can get it.
You espouse the old Great Man historiography?
