Interesting theory. Sub-Saharan Africa that never developed out of the stone age had women running around with their boobs out. Same for Aboriginies, Injuns, and Mokes. Europe, on the other hand, created the Industrial Revolution during the era of prude. Even the Arabs and Turks had an advanced society during the peak of boob hiding Islam.

I do think the need for men to prove themselves to get sex has been an important driver of civilization.
Slutty women, prostitutes, and gayness all undermine civilization by undermining men's motive to accomplish.

One of these alternate history novels is "Pastwatch: The Redemption of Christopher Columbus" (actually published in 1996) by Orson Scott Card (Ender's Game fame). Very well written, although you can tell Card ran out of steam at the very end.

This was the subject of several Alt History SF novels after the 1997 book "Guns, Germs and Steel" debuted. Food for thought, indeed.

No, I don't want any Beni Hana today. Last time, anyway, I got some fingers in the noodles.

Even in my twenties I recognized those that were devoid of empathy for their elders, and did not respect their wisdom and experience, but rather mocked them. I have found those folks from back then managed to age without wisdom or useful experiences.
If Karma has a set of rules like the 7 seven deadly sins, I'm sure disrespecting elders is one of them. All of the disrespectful punks I grew up with are all decrepit and have health problems at mid 50.

Off the subject, Japan is worth visiting, but choose the months with nice weather.

Did the wife learn from the Japanese the proper way a woman is supposed to cater to the husband?

She must be right next to you when you wrote that. :-)
Lol, no. But she is always respectful to me. And vice versa.

The dictionary is being reduced. I frequently run into words I know are spelled correctly, check them, and add them to the dictionary. I've considered getting an old style dictionary for Unix and just putting them all in. We have funny unabridged dictionaries today, and all variants of all spelling. I think there is an effort to reduce people's vocabulary.
Is somebody fucking with my dictionary?
