    We know about ancient Greece because the youth ignored the moral panicking of their elders and used the technological abomination of writing things down.

    Presumably society was a paragon of moral virtue prior to that, not that we’d know since history was written by the people who invented writing.

    I blame it on cave paintings, it filled young people’s minds with fantasy images so real they could no longer tell the difference between reality and cave paintings. We never should’ve invented fire shadow plays, it was a slippery slope ever since.
