On: How friendships change in adulthood

[kneebonian]

I just find it interesting how we believe we are so much more advanced than our ancestors and know so much more, but when it comes to living "The Good Life" they were still talking about the same problems we are struggling with in modern society.

Maybe overall we shouldn't be so quick to dismiss the wisdom of the ancients in favor of our modern obsession with data.

Natural and formal sciences + resulting from them technology is indeed more advanced.

Everything else? Not so much; we are, after all, still just people.
