I live near a walkable town with old, classic architecture. When I walk around it, it makes me feel better. I feel my stress levels lowering and it just feels so inviting. I don't feel this way around any new areas. What's going on? I looked up mental health benefits of old architecture but can't find much info.

I do know that being around fractals have benefits, but those are found in nature. Regardless, is something similar, like being around more complex shapes in general?

Doesn't it upset you that people dedicated their lives to creating that architecture for your region and you don't do anything remotely similar? You don't even bother to contribute to the upkeep of it though you claim to admire it. You clearly don't see it as an example of worthy human effort if you don't do anything to imitate the behaviors of the people who created it.

If we wasn't swamped by white liberals who hold our Government over a barrel with PCness and let in and allow lots of monkeys and paki trash to breed and put pressure on our country, littering everywhere, takeaways everywhere, making the place look like a 3rd world shit hole. Then maybe white people, (not the liberals) would be more motivated to continue our impressive architecture roots.

you now have feelings of guilt because the previous generations in your region dramatically improved the region whereas your generation callously lets it decay and degenerate.
past generations generated civilization the present allows that process to reverse itself into degeneracy.

A lot more care was put into decoration of those old buildings than new ones. Hell you can even see it in apartment buildings from 80-100ish years ago, they all have some sort of decoration under the windows and stuff. Those buildings were generally built for rich people, with money to spend on that shit.
Modern (post ww2) architecture is a lot more utilitarian because it's intended for the masses.

If I had to guess, I'd say it has something to do with that, it just looks prettier because it was made to look pretty.

Most architecture is utilitarian and not done for art. Most old architecture that is preserved is noteworthy artistic architecture. Hence it looks like old architecture is more artistic than new architecture even though we've likely had our share of ugly buildings in the past too. You like old architecture for the same reason you like art in general.

All of the Americans who put men on the moon have passed on, the current generation of Americans are unable to complete the tasks.
Degeneration is the decay of a society across generations, previous generations built up things like beautiful cathedrals and launch systems capable of reaching the moon, subsequent generations let it all fall apart. Progress is supposed to generate over time, when progress is moving in reverse, that is degeneration. People who contribute to and embody degeneration are degenerates. So the large army of talentless, incapable affirmative action hires at NASA are degenerates and so is OP.

I think it's selection bias. If old-ass buildings still exist it's because they were the high-quality works of architecture that were important enough to preserve. The bland, low-quality utilitarian cubes that made up most buildings hundreds of years ago don't exist any more

You stupid non white fuck.

Previous generations were more proud as the country was more white, therefore stronger unified culture and thus cared to build well to show this high level of glory. Our new liberal lot inspire the opposite today. And it's the liberal lot that fucking gives your kind a home in a 1st world country you fucking stupid cunt.
