Interesting threat, h/t @sonyasupposedly
FWIW, I read an essay in Analog or maybe Asimov's maybe c. 1995 or so, maybe by Greg Bear, pointing out that every age adopts as hobbies the lifestyle of the former age.

@sonyasupposedly 's question below, I think that there has been an uptick in LEISURE because of societal wealth. More LARPing of every sort today than in 1950, more in 1950 than in 1890.https://twitter.com/sonyasupposedly/status/1156625694769549312 …ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs added,
🎀 sonya supposedly 🤖 @sonyasupposedlyolder people, has there been an uptick in "consult the ancestors" lifestyle engineering? (see Jay's second tweet for examples.) certainly feels like a trend in SV I wonder whether the boom in archaeogenetics research has had an influence, even indirectly

5/ I disagree with the first part - far too simple of a narrative. Cavaliers relocating to N America were lifestyle engineering the status quo back home / maybe 50 years earlier. Boers in S Africa weren't going back to 2000 BC, etc. Re second part:https://twitter.com/infiniturtle/status/1156629192865406976 …

finite turtle @infiniturtleReplying to @infiniturtle @sonyasupposedlyin the past, all the lifestyle engineering narratives were really deep — went all the way back to the beginning of time. we lost that when we tried to kill religion. now we are in the process of re-bundling and telling a very deep story once again, this time featuring Science3 replies 0 retweets 6 likesShow this thread -
Oh nononono. That whole "Cavaliers in America" thing is a 19th century construction.

Yeah, I've read that, and it doesn't hold up. But, the theory is so attractive that people seize on it to force order on what was chaos.

> doesn't hold up well, I've cited a book that cites original sources are you going to cite anything to argue the other side, or just say "it doesn't hold up" ? maybe you're right, but without any references, there's no reason I should believe you

This review points out some of the issues. http://www.ihr.org/jhr/v12/v12p114_Rosit.html … There are others. I think he got the Quaker stuff all wrong, because German immigration to Pennsylvania had a huge impact, as it did in the Midwest. Imma not even going to bring up Irish immigration
