Interesting take 🤔

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius is incredibly dense in wisdom and was written forever ago. Probably replaces 1000 help books easily.
That may be the greatest book; I mean, most of the well known Greek philosophy books are on another level. My favorite is 'The Republic,' maybe because I was a political science student. 😅

The tenants you can infer from it and so simple and impactful
Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Epictetus, Sun Tzu, Confucius ... almost all modern self help books are using those classics in some way or another. Mixing them, emphasizing one aspect, etc. very few are bringing real new toughts.
Authors are not the ones destroying civilization though?
It really depends. If you're talking about Socrates and Plato, they kind of laid the foundation for the systems we have today. Some books even started the revolutions like "Common sense"
New movies are shit as well
Truth. I watch only old movies nowadays. Can’t I unsee all the propaganda in the new ones, makes them impossible for me to get through.
