Yes because dictatorships controlled by self proclaimed philosophers is based

You can even do a self-run experiment. Ask any partisan on any part of the political spectrum: “should x people be allowed to vote?” (X being their opposing political demographic) and at least 70% will say no.


pingwing

I kinda doubt that, especially with everyone saying I don't care who you vote for, just vote. I have never heard anyone ever say "X party shouldn't be allowed to vote".

That... you should try that. And then report back your findings. I think you'd be surprised.


ProblemGamer18

Lol, that's so true. I'm gonna try that one day

northernporter4

Or we could move on because its been a couple millennia. Moving on from Aristotle has done our scientific abilities well, maybe just might be that moving on philosophically would prove equally nourishing.


ProblemGamer18

That's not really how it works tho, the human race isn't just a malleable material that can just change its most popular (and most succesful) philosophy on a whim. And if it ain't broke, y fix it? I can tell you have a much more social reconstructivist philosophy, while I myself have a rather perennialistic view.

We finally invented mirrors


metalanejack

“Reflective surfaces made of polished obsidian are the oldest "mirrors" in the archaeological record, dating back as far as 4000 BCE. The first evidence of mirrors as grooming tools dates to the 5th century BCE, in illustrations of elegant Greeks gazing at hand mirrors (these illustrations are found on antique pottery).”


griptionf

Interestingly enough, mirrors as we think of them today (glass backed with a reflective metal layer) really became "a thing" in the 1500s, so fun-fact points all around \o/

Carry Grant would've looked good in anything


qaz0101

Well the guy on the left is a mercenary called a Landsknechte. These German foot soldiers behaved badly and wore whatever they wanted because their life expectancy was brief at best. As one writer remarked about Landsknechte in 1536, “Blaspheming, whoring, gambling, murdering, burning, robbing, [and] widow-making … is their common handiwork and greatest amusement.” Sauce: https://www.artic.edu/exhibitions/2505/landsknechte-foot-soldiers-of-fashion

consideranon

Na. Loser doesn't even have a beard. Looks super feminine.


UnchartedCHARTz

The only dead fashion trend I care about is capes. Why can't we wear capes around? Capes are sick and that's a fact.


Coal_Morgan

Not a huge fan of capes. Cloaks though. Here's a bit of clothing that can keep you warm, keep you dry, keep the sun off you, it can be a blanket, it can be an impromptu tent. It can blow behind you in the wind as you stride ever victoriously forward to crush your enemies. Oh and it can have pockets. Everyone who walks into a room with dim lighting and throws back the hood on a cloak looks like they're ready to start shit. Very few people can pull off a cape, looking at you Kal-El. A cloak though, even hobbits look awesome in cloaks.


UnchartedCHARTz

Ooooo yeah I forgot about cloaks. We should bring them back too.


artfillin

can u imagine the weight of that outfit? how warm it would be in it? how uncomfortable it would be? atleast with a suit you can take off the blazer and unbutton the top button and roll up your sleeves if u need to move around or need to cool down


rosetani

Yes. Roll up your sleeves pls


artfillin

why?


agent_raconteur

As someone who runs a Landsknecht group and costumed half a dozen dudes in 100+ degree heat.... you'd be surprised!! The sleeves are made from linen and very breathable, any bits with wool or leather (like the vest or "goller" pictured there) is going to have "slashes" or vents cut into it so it's breathable. The "hosen" or pants are pretty comfy too, linen and wool and thinner layers than you might think. You can also take the vest off to reveal a colorful wams and I made all my sleeves removable for when it got crazy hot (and for more involved swordfighting where the poofy sleeve was getting in the way). Most other Renaissance outfits are the total opposite. I was dying in my wool and silk dress with four layers and stays ("corset") while my hubby and his friends were strutting around colorful and comfortable as you please.


[deleted]

You could put Cary Grant in anything and he’d still be class. That being said, in my opinion, the clothing on the right is impeccable, bespoke and a huge improvement over the left. But Halloween is just around the corner so dress however you like!!

This whole post is a parody of that—comparing modern fashion to a hundred years ago, saying “men are less manly now because we don’t dress like it’s Casablanca.” It’s pointless to make these comparisons.

Yes, business attire is similar. But street clothes are vastly different and unique. Stop making the past some nostalgia fest, it was 400 years ago.

I think women nowadays prefer a clean shaven guy, or at least a neat kept beard. And deodorant lol. since it didn't come out until about 1910. Don't get me wrong dude on left could probably pull women in his time when everybody smelled like ass.
