Classical literature

If honor is subsistence agriculture and getting murdered by banditry or soldiery, then yes, the great majority of humankind has experienced honor. The simple potter died at 35 from a badly lanced boil.

People have pride in their skills, creations and occupations today. Go outside sometimes.

People had a more clear idea of a purpose, now people realize that we have no purpose.

>If honor is subsistence agriculture and getting murdered by banditry or soldiery, then yes, the great majority of humankind has experienced honor.

>Can you not even conceive of
I'll take that as a no. The very idea is alien and incomprehensible to modern man, he pities those who came before who would look upon him with such disdain if they could.

I see otherwise. Nice ad-hominem though, EXTREMELY convincing, and not at all suggestive of the sensitivity of the matter I've touched upon.

>mindless hedonism, nihilism is the default and unquestioned
Sure, if all the info of outside world you are getting comes through the lens of a forum filled with bitter autistic failures trying to explain their own deficiencies away by 'muh godlessness and degeneracy'. The real state of things is not quite as dystopian, though, and the world is full of virtuous people living fulfilling lives, caring and looking out for their communities. Of course to see that would require of you to abandon the whole 'misunderstood enlightened patrician in a sea of filthy hedonistic normie plebs' narrative and deal with reality, so I won't be expecting anything but ultra-edgy greentext and highest grade teenage redpills. At least gimme your best here, please.

>I see otherwise.
This isn't a matter of opinion. Many people do in fact have pride in what they today. Now fuck off with your babby-tier polemics.

>everyone's entitled to their own opinion
>have another ad-hominem you virgin baby

I defer to your polemic mastery

Not him, but great reply bud, keep it up.
