There seems to be a number of historical instances of worshipping some goddesses and having female oracles but otherwise holding women in very low regard, Athens being the obvious one. Perhaps 3DPD is an echo of that same sentiment?

Japs have been doing /r9k/ before /r9k/ even existed.

Sounds like Irish monasteries, Egyptian desert monastic communities or leper colonies.

Probably some Indian mystical tradition. There's like a bazillion and some of them are reaaalllly weird, like that cult of yogis in the Jackass movie that did extreme gross shit like eating shit and bugs and hurting each other.

Will people stop saying Robots are comparable to monks.

The only similarity is that they're both virgins.

Robots are generally incompetent imbeciles, who are lazy and sinful.

Monks were often highly educated, they worked hard and lead a strict lifestyle.

Not true.

Monks deliberately excluded themselves from society and believed that society at large was made up of idiots.

>Monks were often highly educated, they worked hard and lead a strict lifestyle.

This is also not necessarily true, depending on the monastery. Many monasteries, based on archaeological evidence, were where the elite would dump their autistic, Down's Syndrome or disabled children.

They usually did it for spiritual purpose though, not because they were socially incompetent/rejected by society.

Robots are isolated because they are pathetic

>not necessarily true

Hence I said often rather than always.

A whoooole lot of famous monks were insane hedonists before seeing the light. Makes sense, when you think about it: people who gravitate towards extremely rigid lifestyles very often do so to escape their dark side. There are a lot of teetotalers who have never tasted a drop of liquor, and plenty more who quit drinking the hard way.

this basically. I used to bash on normies until I actually got a gf and went to social gatherings instead of sitting in my room resenting those who had functioning lives.
