He said he watched Easy Rider recently and said “not much has changed since then”. I’m pretty sure he was referring to how much crime/violence there is in the world/ how were always at war with another country.
shareGlad to see you back Jonesy!!!!
shareI haven't seen the film but in its essence human nature doesn't change. Every new generation inherits all of the evolutionary baggage whether they know it or not and whether they like it or not.
Completely agree. As much as we want to say we've moved ahead, its not true. Technology may have moved to 2020 but everything else is still the Scarlet Letter.
shareThat will never change, unfortunately
Fine movie though👍🏍🏍
"We blew it..."
shareThe world is less violent now than it was then. In fact, violence has been decreasing for centuries in all places for which we have historical records. Also our culture in general has changed immensely. That said, a lot does stay the same because people are people, culture changes, tech changes, but people don't change, well except for becoming less violent but that's probably culture too.
shareWere there even more mass shootings back in the 60s? If it’s true that world is less violent now then that’s a pretty sad statement.
shareI think he meant less violent, as far as quicker deaths go. Back then, violence was prolonged, like in the Manson Family murders.
shareMass shootings are a tiny fraction of over all violence. They hardly factor into the statistics, at all.
shareThe world is less violent now. Europeans love to keep records, churches, local and national govt's love to record history going back centuries so we know for a fact that violence has decreased over time. There are more sparse records going back longer than suggest violence has decreased the world over. Humans are said to be, self domesticating.
shareIf you live long enough through any two eras, you will accept "the more things change, the more they stay the same" as an axiom.
