>earth was peaceful

Is Hesiod the most incel author?

>look everywhere
>the creation myth is always the same
>women are malevolent, manipulating whores who condemn a man to mundane life of constant, vain labor
Theogony, Epic of Gilgamesh, Book of Genesis, Innana/Ishtar myth in Mesopotamia, Iliad, etc etc

But hey, they were all incels. Women are never at fault.

It's a cromulent theory from an actual brain surgeon. The brain is weird and the written word did affect it in some way.

>>24863114
Oh wow, a brain surgeon? Whoa! Gosh, I defer to your wisdom as you obviously must be right then and I and everyone in this thread should listen to you because you recommended the book. Everyone knows, after all, that brain surgery requires extensive and comprehensive knowledge across many different subjects and he must, of course, have a deep curiosity and the ability to synthesize knowledge from various fields to create innovative solutions, rather than just accumulating isolated facts. Thank you, wise man, I’ll see myself out.

>A theory about the brain and how it relates to history??
>Why would you listen to a brain surgeon??
>Yes, I am going to pretend to know what the book says!
Your spastic posts show you to be the retard.

>>24863191
NTA but in your eagerness to post an elaborate reply, you didn’t actually address the original point in a substantive way. The first guy’s critique still stands on its own. You only made yourself look less credible by overdoing it.

I’ll respond to you because you’re right and I deserved to be called on that, but I won’t respond to his appeal to authority. My critique of that book lies in its fundamental premise that literacy flipped the dominant structures of society itself and that now we’re going to “switch” back, or whatever. I don’t disagree that literacy “changed” society in many ways, but I’d argue that it was more equivalent to an inherent discovery or the development of a technological tool as an extension of our inherent selves. In this case, communication. That society was always and will always be this way, and that each advancement made, including literacy, was, is, and will be made to increase or advance this society and that any raising/lowering or balancing the structure of this society is of little consequence to the foundational structure of that society. Why I dismissed it as retarded is because I think anyone who thinks about it for more than two seconds should also quickly come to that conclusion.

never read it, but it reminded me of a quote by an english poet i read:
>logic, from the greek logikon, means 'something which has been arranged in words.' since words never wholly cover the phenomena to which they are applied, those who rely on pure logic cannot be thinking truly.

He was most likely married and had children. Being around women doesn't really make you dislike them less.

This post is retarded and wrong on so many levels I could write a dissertation on it.

Pandora's box makes much more sense if you consider that she's the first woman
