Some good thoughts: assume that everyone is bad evil all governments people in prep etc., that is a consequence, how do you live in a world in a life that is good happy and virtuous?

The first idea I have is maybe the best way to think is assume that everything is bad evil corrupt and terrible. Then the optimistic stoic Spartan thought; how can you be cheerful, grim, grimacing, and jokesky in the midst of all of it?

What would the Spartans do or say?

This is where being male versus female makes a difference. I could very very doubt the Spartan 300 is being all women; even that Amazonian, even though they were very impressive, they would get murdered and destroyed by the Spartan 300 men. And this is why it is not ethical to ever ever ever let the top UFC fighter fight a top UFC female fighter; she might get killed.

And this is where maybe I am with Peter Thiel,  perhaps it is true that focusing too much on social nice cities is actually a positive detriment towards progress in society philosophy etc.

Becoming a more critical thinker

I suppose for myself, but I am concerned with an interested in is progress in terms of philosophy thinking and towards truth seeking, ideas, aesthetics ethos ethics etc.
