12/ so, kinda despairing [ even tho I shouldn't ; sorry God ] about the continuation of western civ, and blaming a fair bit of it on hedonism, and arguing, I guess, that quiet hypocrisy is better than loud total transparency. Would be ideal if we all acted pro-Civ all the time

16/ In fact, "being your authentic self" is the polar opposite of civilization. Romans understood this, mocked the Greeks. Read The Illiad. Greeks idolized personal valor and, basically, egoism. Individual action, headless of consequences for others.https://twitter.com/Saradin1337/status/1220790468361048065 …

silicon age tulpa @mr_archenemyReplying to @MorlockP> hedonism in the sheets and virtue in the streets nicely put! norms going from "what happens in my bedroom is no one's business" to "everyone must endlessly hear about and be forced to celebrate the insanity i get up to in my bedroom" took a shockingly short amount of time1 reply 0 retweets 4 likesShow this thread -

20/ Yes, I think " 'Shut the !@# up and do your duty." would be a good bio. ...but it would get in the way of the e-book grift that my bio is currently in the service of! (this is twitter, after all!)https://twitter.com/mr_archenemy/status/1220797437280956416 …
