writing about nuances, some other things to consider would be
- the ratio of men to women
- what marriage means. In a polygamous society where most men have many wives, would marrying an older man mean that you’re getting consumed that night or were you becoming part of another house and waiting your maturation while allying those houses together.
i can’t answer for them and i’m glad to not to live back there and then.
rules and customs that seem ridiculous today were maybe necessary there and then.
Strangely it was just absolutely necessary for Big Mo to have ten wives, when everybody else had to stop at 4.
I’m sure that was an action motivated entirely by social necessity, not powerful men being horndogs.
Was Epstein Island socially necessary? I guess in 1000 years the Church of Trump devotees will be making similar arguments.
the thing is, i’m not a devotee. i’m just an atheist who sees that hate won’t convince anybody that there are no gods. Here, most of the things i read stinks of hate, awful awful hate.
philosophy literally means love of knowledge. You have to love this knowledge and share this love.
Did you read the book that got Salman Rushdie almost killed? You may like it and it sure is a more interesting read then all these. It’s fun too (and that’s why it’s dangerous)
