I don't think it's ever been popular in society to do intellectual activities. Most people are OK looking or women and dgaf about anything and just drift. Not that this is a bad thing. If I was a 5/10 or greater, I would be drifting and specialized in one hopefully high paying career with a gf that might cuck me later down the line.
I was reading a book by a Will Libby from 1889 about the history of science, and this exact sentiment is shared in his foreword, not about looksmaxxing of course, but it was about sport and olymipcs and blah blah. This book was written only a few years after the first ever power station, the Pearl Street station was opened, so I don't think it's related to a time period, it's instead the modal mentality and probably as eternal as human nature.
It's totally feudalistic.
I agree. But only the social part, which is what normal people care about. Quality of life is pretty decent not considering social life even in the lower and middle class today. Tech makes my life very luxury and yours, too. Tech also makes us unable to reproduce, so what do you make of that?
Foids run their mouths too but hide behind their thug boyfriends when it comes to the dirty work.
This isn't new. Women want their boyfriends to look like they are able to beat up other men if they feel like you offended them. Women want men that mog other men in height and frame.
When having a decent career led to most men having a loving wife and family, intellect meant something. Those days have passed in Clown World.
The thing is, intellect still did not mean anything, because in the past you would be a craftsman, laborer in some coal mine, be upper-class and inherit your wealth and never work and investments and land you owned would generate more wealth. In the past you would work in a factory, low-IQ work packing screws into boxes and be paid fairly and buy a newly developed house and pay off the mortgage in a stable economy where your wages weren't lowering.
Intellect never means anything, especially not in the past. Opportunities are what mean something.
We've reached a point where intellect doesn't matter even in places where it is crucial. I lost my programming job last year and have been struggling to find a new one since although I'm a highly competent programmer. Every recruiter who sees me also sees better-looking candidates and their tiny normie brains go 'me prefer not ugly guy'. How much longer can society be so shallow and not collapse?
Brutal. Reminds me that these companies and their Stacy-lead HR departments are hiring based on looks. Reminds me about the last time I was interviewed. When you become blackpilled, the next interview you go to will be the
WORST of your life, because you will have to stress about your poor looks or height. I'm not a manlet, but I'm thinking right this moment of what an employer might think as you step into the room you're being interviewed in and you're the same height as a schoolgirl. Insanely brutal just from my imagination.
