these Primitive Technology videos are so therapeutic. no narration, no music, calming cinematography, interesting. its a bob ross vibe but survivalist glamping.

King Gillette basically invented the captured customer. check food prices in airports and theme parks and movie theatres and ballparks.

the sexual revolution took place in the 60s/70s, partly due to invention of the contraceptive pill, which became available to unmarried women in 1967. homosexuality was partially decriminalized in 1967. abortion was legalized. no fault divorce was introduced.
it was the biggest social movement of their lives, perhaps started by women joining the workforce for world war II.

Sleep training is rough. One approach is to lock their door and let them cry it out. first night can be an hour long. second night should be much less. by the 4th night they generally stop trying to get your attention. but all of your instincts will be to give in and soothe them.

another approach is to let them ruin your nights for years and they will be sleeping in your bed until they are embarrassingly old.

Multinational corporations and crime syndicates and others would be at each others throats, nobody would enforce trillions worth of contracts, USD would be meaningless, all govt services would attempt to go private. mass migration attempts.
