Basically adults 100 years ago and more had very different lives and doing hard labor and various things to survive day to day made them into something that is different that what the average adult is today. So many men today have low testosterone and basically act like women. Many women are very immature and emotional beyond even the normal amount that women should normally be based on sex differences. Even many people who exercise a lot and are in good shape would have a complete breakdown if they had to so much as survive sleeping in their car overnight or something.
We are essentially a society of domesticated beings rather than free natural humans. I include myself in this as well as I'm obviously a product of this sick society but have been working for years now to push myself well out of my comfort zone.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
-Robert A. Heinlein
Weak men make for hard times
Hard times make for strong men
Strong men make for easy times
Easy times make for weak men (we’re here)
Weak men make for hard times (almost here)
Repeat.

The closer you can live your life in parallel with that of primal man, the more happy and content you will be.
Modern society is designed to prevent us all from reaching self-actualization. That's why there are moistly children running around in adult bodies.
For primal man, self-actualization was a normal part of life's progression. Their society and lifestyle provided for all members to come to the realization of who they really are, and why they are on this planet.
in some tribes, when someone has done wrong, the tribe gathers around that person and sings a song...
of what? a hodgepodge of sorrow, acceptance, redemption, growth.
wonderful psychologist, erich fromm, in the book the art of loving, correlates todays times versus tribal times and the disconnect between the two.
Thank you, I'll look into the art of loving.

100 years ago the labor required to live was higher. More physical exertion resulted in higher testosterone scores (with no plastic to bring it down). Women were just as sheltered and ignorant as today, but they likely did better in school than now- if they went at all. They just didn’t have the same type of pop culture, their social circles revolved around their communities and homes. But they were still quite uneducated, and doctors used to treat overemotional and “hysterical” woman as a specialty.
People were tougher, but many perished in the same stupid ways as today. Many more alcohol related deaths occurred, especially in cold places where an ejected patron might fall asleep in a snow bank. Bums lived a semi-rural life instead of congregating around urban drug houses. But really, an adult had the teaching of the church alone to guide them at that time, so their lives were directed by doctrine as opposed to thought, but this began to change with WW2
Was on this track in my 20s but something snapped at 29. Started hitting the weight room, got a motorcycle license, got into welding and cnc, started riding bmx. Quit alcohol completely.
Life has never been better.
beginning of time ... up to industrial revolution = long, long time
indus. rev... up to today = unicorn fart
the external paradigm has telescoped, in speed, exponentially into newer & newer versions.
versus our internal paradigm crawling along a few seconds after the indus. rev.
“ Many women are very immature and emotional beyond even the normal amount that women should normally be based on sex differences.”
Women dumb, amiright?
A woman can be both very smart, and immature and emotional. They are not mutually exclusive. Take my wife for example, she has an IQ at least slightly above average, and an amazing verbal IQ as she is a writer. (Good thing too, as the kids are smart since IQ is primarily inherited from the mother).
On the other hand, she is irrational about certain topics, unorganized, and sometimes completely child-like about something as simple as answering a direct question of "where do you want to go for dinner."
I'm not the only one to notice this, it's a long running thing that all civilizations have had to deal with.
