examples:
living alone: for centuries people just didnt do this and families lived in intergenerational households.
finding ”the one”: as liberal societies started promoting the nuclear family and the spouse as being the main source of emotional confidant as opposed to interconnected communities
being happy with your job: most of the times the job was just for survival
being happy/stable most of the time
I was just discussing the concept of “divine madness” as opposed to “madness,” elsewhere. For instance, how Turing and Jeanne d’Arc were treated, despite having no small hand in saving their respective societies. How Nazis were embraced and reintegrated into various societies, how imperialism which is extremely sick is considered “normal,” while communists are considered vile and delusional. Yet Marx’s predictions have held up very well.
