Yeah lets look back to a 2000 year old mistly fantasy document that romans used to moralise their own society for our own explaitions. That seems like a great idea. Its not like that line of thought ever had bad consequences.
- hguant 11y agoI'm going to treat this like a real comment instead of a sarcastic quip. The reason we go back to '2000 year old [not sure if 'misty' or 'mostly', both work in interestingly different ways] fantasy document[s]' is because there are universal truths about the human condition. The value of a statement is not in its newness or its antiquity; it lies in the truth of the thing being said. Brashly rejecting an idea because it is old has the same merit as rejecting an idea because it came from a woman - that is to say, none.
