  • Yes I suspect that the original intent here was less about supernatural brownies points and much more about harmful lifestyle traps. The seven deadly sins seem to me to be mental compulsions that can lead to fixated and broken lifestyles without awareness or pushback. Like feeling sexual attraction is great, but not if your day to day life is focused solely on it. Relaxation and rest is great, but can lead to stagnation if not unchecked.

    I’m not saying the Bible or Torah or other such texts weren’t legitimately religious scripture to the devout, but they were also basically the popular self help books of the time as well, as I understand things

    That’s literally not the joke though. The joke doesn’t change at all if we correct the date to 1985, so clearly the error not only isn’t the joke, it’s not even a part of the joke. How is this so upvoted? People just slackjawed reacting like “omfg I remember the Simpsons!”






  • That much I know, I guess I just don’t understand the relevance in terms of my comment or this discussion. Did East Berlin’s economy policy succeed and become the defacto western status quo? If not, isn’t this a non-sequitur to the conversation about the ills of capitalism and the loss of true freedom and agency. Unless I guess the point was “we’ve tried making other systems but they get torn down?”

    I promise I’m not trying to be difficult or argumentative or a reddit pedant, I’m just confused about the relevancy and throughline here.
