  > If you're lucky enough to be able to spend copious amounts of time online, good for you. I am not the lucky one, you are. My life is a sick joke, meanwhile you by all traditional measures have it made if you have all that. If I didn't have my job I'd have literally nothing going for me. When I say this has cost me oppertunites I don't mean small ones, I mean even things like potential relationships. Everything has always come second to this issue.

    > by all traditional measures Is there a reason to assume the traditional measures are, in fact, the correct ones to be using?

      Maybe the fact that they were used by seemingly very different society for thousand of years and society who did enforce them were more stable and successful? The hubris of modern people to think they are so enlightened they can engineer society to fit they ideological views as if humans were mere economical units.

        > seemingly very different society for thousand of years and society who did enforce them were more stable and successful Ahh, so a bias for values that were evolutionarily successful? I can kind of see the utility there. Would this hypothetical system take into account the dominance of the societies in question, or is it just specifically how long they've survived/been stable?
