Mattheus 10

34

“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

35

For I have come to turn

“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—

36

a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.

You´re saying that there were no wars before Jesus? No innovation before Jesus?

This. NEETs are basically the closest contemporary thing to the ancients discussing philosophy in the agora all day.

The idea that someone who has to work for a living can even be a whole person is a laughable, recent piece of propaganda.

Agree or disagree with them, pretty much all ancient civilizations prior to the Protestant work ethic believed that a life of cultivated leisure was superior to having to toil to earn one's bread every day. Aristotle explicitly says that a manual laborers are incapable of being citizens, because they're too focused on their daily subsistence to take an objective view of society and politics.

have you ever read a thing that demystified a part of living? or pointed out a mystery you hadn't ever considered? have you ever read a thing and thought "I totally understand the conclusion this writer has come to"? or "my worldview is totally incompatible with this writer's conclusion"? if not, that's fair, but I think most people have had that experience, and that can't not have aided them.
