In Ancient Rome, a good man was expected to follow the “mos maiorum,” translated as, “the way of the ancestors.”
This means that, when in doubt, he would defer to what has worked for his ancestors for hundreds of thousands of years.
Eat good food. Exercise daily. Get sunshine. Save via sound money. Start a family. Provide for and protect them. And, be wary of newfangled “solutions” for which your ancestors had no need.
Today, people assume that the world “progresses” every year, and that therefore, what is new must be better than what we had in the past.
Some aspects of modernity are indeed improvements, such as better hygiene (washing hands), better means of travel, antibiotics to treat infections, communication via the internet, and privacy and security via cryptography.
However, there are far more examples of ways that modern society has since degraded.
Examples include eating processed foods, taking pills instead of exercising, injecting toxins into your and your kids’ bodies in the form of state-mandates vaccines, avoiding the sun out of fear to become a basement dweller, saving via fiat money that is printed out of thin air, avoiding starting a family because of climate change fears, relying on the state to provide for and protect your kin, and believing every fiat authority figure without question.
Opt out of fiat culture. Respect mos maiorum once again. #Bitcoin
