“Our modern society is terrified of judging anything that's in any way subjective; it's almost like we're scared of human judgment. We create regulations to lower the power of human decision versus society, creating committees, and we encourage group identities while discouraging individual responsibility. The legendary German historian Oswald Spengler said, "Civilization switched into decay when society starts to strangle the individual's sense of judgment and choice and replace it with social collective controls." He feared this process would happen to Western society in the 20th century, which it largely did.”

“When it comes to painful periods, there is an epidemic of undertreatment. Women's pain is undertreated in general, as compared to men's, but painful periods have historically been seen as a "woman thing" and hence unimportant. Our patriarchal system has dismissed menstrual pain as both exaggerated and a sign of weakness, and at times, perversely, as something women deserve (punishment for "original sin," I suppose).”

“I perceive that people in these regions acquire over people in towns the value that a spider in a dungeon does over a spider in a cottage, to their various occupants; and yet the deepened attraction is not entirely owing to the situation of the looker-on. They do live more in earnest, more in themselves, and less in surface, change, and frivolous external things.”
