American politicians used to have hour long debates for municipal elections, where the audience would be as passionate as the debaters. Speeches of magnitude, given their subject matter, also were common. But then again, all these people had the benefit of being able to study the Greeks and model themselves after them. Though I'm sure Pericles had his own sages on which he fell back on, it's a wonder out how he was able to (and greeks in general) navigate such a poor lit reality.

Public speaking both in politics and even on TV some 50, 60 years ago was on an incomparably higher level, and not a few politicians trained themselves on Greek and Roman role models.
Then mass culture and general retardification happened, and it just turned out that even if you are smart it's advisable not to show it too much.
Point is, an intelligent audience is not simply "around" by sheer luck but is created by a demanding elite. You become smarter through challenge. The paradigm of making things as easy as possible for le man in le street is what destroyed culture.

>But the phenomenon of popular and dance music is even more conspicuous and general. Fitzgerald was not wrong when he said that in one of its main aspects, American civilization can be called a civilization of jazz, i.e., of a negrified music and dance. In this domain, very singular “elective affinities” have led America, by way of a process of regression and primitivization, to imitate the Negroes. Assuming there would be a need for frenzied rhythms and forms as a legitimate compensation for the mechanical and materialistic soullessness of modern civilization, one would have done much better to look to the many sources available in Europe: we have elsewhere mentioned, for example, the dance rhythms of South Eastern Europe, which often have something truly Dionysian. But America has chosen to imitate the blacks and the Afro-Cubans, and then from America the contagion has gradually spread to all other countries.
>The Negro component of the American psyche was already noticed, in his time, by the psychoanalyst C. G. Jung. A few of his observations are worth quoting:
>Another thing that struck me [in the American] was the great influence of the Negro, a psychological influence naturally, not due to the mixing of blood. The emotional way an American expresses himself, especially the way he laughs, can best be studied in the illustrated supplements of the American papers; the inimitable Teddy Roosevelt laugh is found in its primordial form in the American Negro. The peculiar walk with loose joints, or the swinging of the hips so frequently observed in Americans, also comes from the Negro.[3] American music draws its main inspiration from the Negro, and so does the dance. The expression of religious feeling, the revival meetings, the Holy Rollers and other abnormalities are strongly influenced by the Negro. The vivacity of the average American, which shows itself not only at baseball games but quite particularly in his extraordinary love of talking – the ceaseless gabble of American papers is an eloquent example of this – is scarcely to be derived from his Germanic forefathers, but is far more like the chattering of a Negro village. The almost total lack of privacy and the all-devouring mass sociability remind one of primitive life in open huts, where there is complete identity with all members of the tribe.

Imagine being so buck broken, to think "mental illness" was a thing back then. As an ancient greek I can tell you mental illness was actually valued. The secret behind the ancient Greeks alien like accomplishments and "IQ" is that they were essentially like electrical wires conducting way more energy from nature and God, in otherwords they were a more enlightened civilization. Mania and frenzy was a valued characteristic in the ancient world, the gods were actually real animating forces, if you had hallucinations of them you were deemed blessed. Mental illness gave an evolutionary advantage, you don't even know, how do you think they got all their sculpture so good?

Read what they wrote in ancient Sumeria. We had the same "hardware" in ancient times even if civilization wasn't as developed.

Historians often dispel this false impression that ancient peoples were primitively minded and incapable of lucidity, sapience, and higher though.

The popular notion is that they were banging rocks together and struggling to form complete sentences, but they had the same physical capability for lucidity and self-reflection as we do.

Now consider how many people use miraculous modern technology in the 21st century while having zero clue as to how it works.

Have specifically heard this from those who study ancient Mesopotamia. Reading the translations of their letters and correspondence, it is fascinating how lucid and thoughtful they were.

They have the same "hardware" (the evolved human brain) as modern humans but lived in a very different time and state of civilization. Mesopotamian history is deeply fascinating, the bare blueprint of civilization itself.

Someone once pointed out that the Golden Age of Greece has a roughly similar geopolitical status as Italy in the High Middle Ages and the Renaissance: a bunch of city-states competing with each other in the space of only a few thousand miles. In Greece it was across water, in Italy it was across land, but the basic idea in both cases is similar.

Which is why all those nomadic pastors who continued to persist invented nothing while agriculturalists invented almost everything around you. Granted, you are correct that those who breed these days are lower than times past; those with low standards both to their own affairs and the conditions that a child is reared under or those who dedicate their life solely to amassing wealth which in the present context is rarely a measure of good traits and certainly has little worth passing on even if their genetics are fair. However I doubt this was a gradual declination from agricultural inception. At most you could argue it is a resultant state from aspects related to land allocation which resulted from agriculture which in turn exaggerated societal dependency and aspects due to such, but I don't think it was inevitable and I think the present state is more the result of an over dependency of trade. It inflates cost by having cost itself determined by the average, the means to afford such are often detached from practical utility to oneself, thus increasing dependence on society of both themselves and progenity, these aspects lay the grounds for the government to manipulate and insert themselves more in daily affairs with little capability of resistance and further increase cost at every turn, so on and so forth.

>>23490723
The modern era is an era of potential (for the individual), due to availability more advanced tools which elevate creative ability. But adherement to societal aspects hinders this due to its inherent inefficiency alluded to above. Moreover, the average is much worse due to other aspects stated in this thread. Also, the way everyone is reared also encourages this thoughtless "flowchart" way of life where people simply take the path of least resistance 90% of the time, public education was a mistake and a tool since it's inception. Do parents these days give any more than the minimum immediate thought required to how their kids should be raised?
Some have the potential to get by in spite of this, being less subject to influence and of greater will, many don't posess either, and most that posess the former lack the latter.

Similarly I think >>23493077 is a major part of it as well, though perhaps it's less that city states encourage it but more that the grounds for city states to thrive also allows more libertarian ones to emerge.

Lol, anyone who thinks the ancients were more intelligent has to be stupid themselves. Look at for example the ciphers they used to encrypt their messages. The “Caesar cipher” is literally just adding 3 (mod 26) to the alphabetical index of a letter. That was considered good enough to secure the state secrets of the most important man in Rome. Compare that to the ciphers we use today, such as RSA or others. And that’s just one example. The ancients were vastly inferior in intelligence and technical ability to anything we have today. And they were also morally inferior, what with their slavery, gladiatorial combat, aggressive wars, homosexuality, pedophilia etc that was widespread. Consider for example the passage in Aristotle whcih says that certain Greek communities introduced homosexuality as a means of population control. Such an inability to resist one’s sexual instincts and the consequent fall into homosexual perversions clearly points to a depraved, barbarous, and unenlightened civilisation, on a scale that is unparalleled even in our own decadent age. The ancients were superstitious, sexually perverted, technically and scientifically inferior, and vastly unintelligent, on average.

Did Julius Caesar encrypt his messages by adding 3 mod 26 to the alphabetical index of a letter?
Yes, proof:
>"If he had anything confidential to say, he wrote it in cipher, that is, by so changing the order of the letters of the alphabet, that not a word could be made out. If anyone wishes to decipher these, and get at their meaning, he must substitute the fourth letter of the alphabet, namely D, for A, and so with the others."
>—Suetonius, Life of Julius Caesar 56

Did they have slavery?
Yes. No need for proof.

Did they have gladiatorial combat, wherein they watched men kill each other for sport?
Yes.

Did they have homosexuality and pedophilia?
Yes.

Did Aristotle say the Cretans instituted homosexuality in order to curb population growth?
Yes, proof:
>the lawgiver has devised many wise measures to secure the benefit of moderation at table, and the segregation of the women in order that they may not bear many children, for which purpose he instituted association with the male sex, as to which there will be another occasion51 to consider whether it was a bad thing or a good one.

that greatest empire was stagnant shithole that collapse on itself. Christians had to build shit all over again while also evading barbarians, like huns, magyars, arabs, turks, vikings, slavs etc.
greek and roman civilization was influencing middle easterners too and far east had another rome, china, but all this civilizations were left in dust.

every time i argue with you I come to the conclusion that there is no difference between you and kikes. Both of you reject jesus and both are dishonest liars who can't fight and believe in superiority of their race.

why did you post these rules like you made a point I just read first few an already saw how dishonest you are.
jewish priests were exempt from public service during roman times too. Also love how you put pro-christian ruleas as pro-jewish you dishonest troon worshipper.

also roman empire started crumbling during 3rd century crisis. there was no abrahamic interference there pagancuck.

This was a punishment, not an award. You were forced to pay for public services of your region for 10+ years.
>The Patriarch
The Patriarch at this time was not Jewish but Samaritian and he was an independent military leader who lived inside Roman Palestine, they would be killed and the position dismantled in the early 6th century.
>Clergy
This applied to all Clergy regardless of faith.

I don't know what mathematical precision are you talking about. you mean sphere that it's architecture produces?
then it's not mathematical achievement an more engineering thing. Same thing can be said about perfect geometrical proportion of pyramid stones.
also it was not superseded because no one tried.
Duomo already surpassed it in dome size.
Romans never built anything larger then pyramids. while english were the first to build tallest building in the world and surpass a pyramid, with their gothic cathedral (which are much more aesthetic and complex then soulless classical and globohomo neoclassical style.)

that is because you are a fool and an idiot, and Thucydides puts this speech in there in partially in order to demonstrate that Athens was a democracy in name, but in fact was the rule of Pericles, and his rule was cemented and strengthened by his skill in rhetoric which he used to manipulate the stupid demos.

I misread your first post as if you were talking about Roman pantheon. this hovewer is even less impressive, these are just elementary school level rations and implementation of pythagorean theorem.
I don't see what you think is groundbreaking here, except their obsession with symmetrically placed columns.
When you mentioned mathematical precision, I thought you meant mathematical calculations without which entire structure would collapse. This is just putting stones in ratios.
Haghia sophia is much more impressive then this aesthetically and structurally. Giant dome that byzantines built is something no pre-roman greek ever built.

how is that and argument even?
and greeks would not be able to build their parthenon if not egyptians.
Greeks btw never managed to surpass geomoteric precision of egyptians.
My original point was that greeks were surpassed, i even mentione them being stepping stones for better civilizations, which implies using greek foundations. by your retarded logic we should thank cavemen who discovered fire and invented wheel as the best people to ever do it.
