No you don't lol.

Kings could clap their hands and get whatever amount of pussy they wanted.

They could also ride around in armor and swordfight, even kill people.

You eat better food and will live longer, that is basically it.

But your life will still likely be far more depressing and shittier than some kings life.

>>2452079

Not really. The average meal of a king might be on-par with the kind of meal one has a handful of times in their lifetime, unless they are ultrarich.

A king? Not really. Our environments are more comfortable due to shit like AC and superior heating. Not to mention medical care and entertainment.

Other than that a wealthy noble or merchant would still be far better off than your average pleb today. They had servants doing everything for them, professional chefs cooking them whatever they wanted, the finest clothing, and the ability to literally get away with murder should someone piss them off.

And live in constant fear of being usurped or invaded.

America's homicide clearance rate—the percentage of solved crimes that lead to arrest—has fallen considerably in the past 50 years, from around 90% in 1965 to around 64% in 2012, according to federal statistics. This means more than 211,000 homicides committed since 1980 remain unsolved.Jul 4, 2015

Is it though? today we have a wealth of spices and luxury foods that would be exotic and hard to obtain, not to mention may not even be available in that part of the world, not to mention cooking has gone from something that was a necessity to more of an artform in the last 100 years.

Firstly, kings had access to spices and such. He could pay to have one of the best chefs in Europe work for him.

He didn't have to deal with restrictions.

Arguments and counter-arguments are how we find answers.

>>2452019
B-but I have a magic box that produces pictures of traps which I can jerk my penis off to

>>2452652

>>2452659
Because problems are by their definition bad. Think of problem-solving as the removal of bad things.

>>2452660
Why do you think problems are bad?

>>2452670
If they weren't bad we wouldn't recognize them as problems.

He's anti-capitalism? Or, wait, does he actually confuse capitalism with globalism?

>>2452881
Globalism is all about wealth like he says. Once you obliterate culture and tradition all that you have left are efficiency and hedonism. Financial interests are the driving force behind globalism. Not necessarily what I'd call capitalist though.

>>2452964
What we understand as capitalism came out of the enlightenment, right? Which was completely anti-religion, anti-tradition, and focused on people doing "useful" things. Capitalism is the source of the loss of all those things. It's sort of surprising they held on for so long.

Is he some kind of monarchist then?

>>2452980
Probably a kind of traditionalist would be the most accurate label. He wants England to be English forever. Trains and bicycles instead of cars and trucks, everyone is Christian, decosmopolitanize London, everyone gets along with their neighbors and social capital is unimaginably high, that sort of thing.

The problem is precisely that people DON'T feel better about their life even if the median person in the west has a life so luxurious that pretty much nobody could afford it in the past. Which means that all this obsession with achieving higher standards of comfort, wealth and so on are just a neurosis of the modern man.

You not only live worse than kings, you probably live worse than medieval peasants as well.

>Before 1600, the average peasant was living very well. He was more free than is generally thought. He was living exactly the life to which today’s stockbrokers aspire: a big house in the country with horses, animals and land. It’s just that the peasant didn’t have to slave in the city from 7 a.m. every weekday to get it: he just had to work for a day or two each week on the manorial land. Every tenant peasant had his own arrangement with the manor house. Here are two thirteenth-century examples from Rowland Parker:

>Thomas Vaccarius holds 9 acres of land with a house, and he must do each year 100 days work, plough one acre and do carting service when required. He shall receive one hen, and shall mow and stack. His services are valued at 10s a year, and he pays a rent of 3d.

>John Aubrey holds 18 acres of land with a house, and he must do 52 days work a year, must plough for 2 days, do 2 boon-works at harvest, mow the meadow for 2 days, cart the hay, repair the roof of the hall, harrow the oat-land along with his fellows, and he shall receive one hen and 16 eggs. His services are valued at 9s 8d and he pays a rent of 2s 6d.

>Thomas Vaccarius paid a tiny fraction of his wages in rent for his nine-acre holding. He worked just two days a week. John Aubrey had eighteen acres of land and a job which only required him to work one day a week and which, in today’s values, pays him thirty grand a year (putting his rent at £7,000, a modest amount for such a considerable property). The rest of the time, John and Thomas would be working on their smallholdings and practising a craft or several crafts by which they earned more money. — Tom Hodgkinson

But, although he recovered, the incident, which ended his jousting career, aggravated serious leg problems which plagued him for the rest of his life, and may well have caused an undetected brain injury which profoundly affected his personality, according to the History Channel documentary Inside the Body of Henry VIII ...Apr 17, 2009

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/7037298/A-banquet-for-Louis-XIV-recreated-at-the-Palace-of-Versailles.html

>Twenty or more not-so-dainty dishes would have been a typical evening repast for Louis XIV of France.

>Royal ballotine of pheasant
>Petit pâté en croûte à la bourgeoise
>Fresh deep-sea oysters
>Lobster aspic chaud-froid
>Beef madrilène with gold leaf spangles
>Pureed chestnut soup with truffles from the Court of Italy
>Bisque of shellfish from our coasts with a boletus infusion
>Pumpkin soup, fresh from the royal vegetable garden
>Scallops with oyster liquor
>Wild duck cromesquis à la Villeroy
>Hare stew
>Roast beef, carrots and smoked eel
>Wild salmon au sel
>[...]

>Within each service (except for the fruit course) there were between two and eight dishes. By the time Louis retired at 11.30pm, he would have eaten some 20 to 30 dishes, after which he would then pocket the candied fruit and nibble on a boiled egg as he made his way to bed.

>>2454766

>The first dish, the pheasant, was a tribute to the Bourbons’ love of hunting, and its feathers were often used to decorate the dishes. The seafood illustrated the 'chasse-marées’ system, whereby sellers brought fish from the coast to the cities. Oysters principally came from St Malo and Cancale, while lobsters came from Normandy and reached Paris at about 4am. The purveyor then had to deliver the supplies to the palace by 5am (a system so stressful that one chef, François Vatel, impaled himself after a late delivery).

>'All our ingredients were sourced locally from the gardens of Versailles, Paris and nearby regions, just as they were at the time of Louis XIV
>Between 1678 and 1683, Louis’s gardener, Jean-Baptiste de la Quintinie, a former lawyer, established a vegetable garden that quickly became the pride of Versailles. Quintinie was adept at producing vegetables well in advance of the season and extending yields through the use of heated greenhouses and glass cloches, the creation of microclimates, pruning trees to maximise the exposure of fruit to sunlight, and selecting varieties through grafting.

>>2453210
>Alcohol all the time because the water is shit

"We have ascertained beyond doubt that God is much rather displeased with the sacrifices you offer, the time of sacrifices having now passed away. And because you will not admit that the time for offering victims is past, therefore the Temple will be destroyed, and the abomination of desolation shall stand in the Holy Place." The Clementine Recognitions, chapters liii to lxxi.

Chapter XXII, 6 of the Clementine Homilies says "They followed the Apostles in their custom of daily lustrations. They refused to partake of flesh or wine, taking as their pattern, St. Peter, whose food was bread, olives, and herbs...."

Not necessarily. Sin is dangerous because it tempts us and deludes us from what is truly good. Otherwise we would all be living virtuous lives and there would be no reason for hardship. But I think hardship is one of the many things that can bring us closer to God, whether we know it or not.

Happiness is good and everyone should be given the chance to pursue it, but it shouldn't be the sole purpose for life. I think there are plenty of more important things.
