Apparently their is a TikTok trend about wives asking their husbands how often they think about the Roman Empire.

I thought it was just me but seems like all based men think about it. Embracing the lessons from meditations by Marcus Aurelius to live the stoic lifestyle, the film Gladiator, thinking about Jesus versus the Romans who crucified him, curious it’s about Julius Caesar, thoughts about modern day bread and circuses to keep us distracted, thoughts about the Romans clipping gold coins when I think about central banking, thoughts about the first plebs vs modern bitcoin plebs and thinking about the comparisons of the collapse of Roman Empire vs the West.

Yeh I guess I think about the Roman Empire everyday without even realising it hahaha 🤣

Yep, it's definitely in the rotation to compare money, politics, war. History doesn't repeat, but people seem to.

My wife just asked me if I think about the Roman empire often... I answered yes, of course, but with wifi and memes.

She said, "Of course YOU do, do you think other men do?" 😂

Haha just show her my message. I am proof

I literally sent her a screenshot of it! Lololol

Very odd, my wife isn’t on tick tok, perhaps she won’t ask me.

I never think of the Roman Empire. Why the hell would I?

I guess it’s like a famous frame of reference. We can all relate to. Even though life was very different people and society doesn’t really change.

I don’t know I just find myself always thinking back to what all my ancestors went through for me to be alive today.

Maybe I’m just weird. And think too much.

I do something similar, but not the Roman’s too many bathhouses.

And we never CONSUME TikTok... man, humanity is lost...

Haven't you recognized that we are literally still living in the Roman Empire? They only changed the labels and tadaaa... The Perfection of Ba'albylon.
