You have to read some books from the canon if you want to vote, get a driving license, get married, have a kid, etc. And they test you if you really read them.

2. complete sappho

4. a full copy of Heraclitus's On Nature

I have a whole fantasy of creating an official plebeian and patrician class structure, with stuff like military service and recommendation from prior members being requirements to enter. I think I will add your suggestion to the list.

1) Light novels and YA never took off.
2) Everything written during classical antiquity survived to the 21st century.
3) Byron's journal wasn't destroyed.
4) Sade's whole corpus translated into Spanish/English.
5) Anglophones stopped producing "literature" during the second half of the 20th century.

Honestly many anglophiles were also orientalist and basically are the only people who gave a shit about ancient Indian culture because Indians sure don't.

Hmm you know those "cheerleader" effects where a lot of average girls together somehow look more attractive?

I have no idea what is going on in that video but somehow the reverse effect is actually happening. They are clearly all average or above but somehow they look repulsive all together.

I experienced the same thing. Genuinely no idea why.

probably because it makes you realize that women are largely interchangeable, and "love" is just horniness for whatever happened to cross into your field of awareness
