Post of my own restricted Interests and where to branch off
Alright, where do I start?
I am a savant in history and politics and love FPS games so, I'm trying to find cultural history and heritage which to a certain extent, school teaches but it should be merged with history to get a cultural landscape for the time and ppl learn vocabulary and etymology w/cursive so that you don't have to keep lifting up your hand every time you write.
I also want to understand the bible again and the cultural significance of religion past the questions of "where/why did we come from (this)?" and "what happens if we die?" which to the 2nd one, I'd highly suggest you read Jeffery long or simply google "near-death experiences". I've literally tried asking my pastor but when I said I wanted to understand it but wasn't likely to believe in it, he wrote me off.

Likely to put more into this post but I see no way to create a draft so this will do for today.
@BBDavid Hello. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Those are some very deep subjects! I am sorry to hear that your pastor did not want to speak with you about those religious questions. If you'd like, you could go to https://www.7cups.com/BrowseListeners/ and then search keyword "religion", and hopefully you will find a like-minded person to speak with.
I also enjoy reading historical fiction for the same reasons you described - it helps gives weight and perspective to the events that were said to have occurred at that time, mixing culture and history in a way that is easier for me to grasp, than by simply reading a textbook.
@purplelady568 why where my links auto-removed?
@BBDavid It says I was "advertising" which wasn't the intention whatsoever.
@BBDavid also, I have no idea why the links were removed. Sorry about that. Sometimes 7cups is picky about outside websites, especially those which are thought to be of a business nature.
@purplelady568 Ok, so my titles which seemed plausible but maybe wanted a second opinion on where: Adam Something's "Deep Dive into the Manosphere" Hes known to be low-effort for a content creator besides his ancapistan brainstorming of how it'd go, but if hes right, i'd like to know a jumping-off point from what hes saying
@BBDavid Forgot a common trope in romance for the same purpose: "Why "Perfect-on-Paper" Love Interests Always Come Second" probably will continue on with what you're saying with the mesosphere video
@BBDavid oh thanks for the video titles. I will look for those.
@purplelady568 That's great if I want a average personal picture but what if I wanted to understand how the society works in general and then certain sectors if they divided labor or made other divisions besides cliques? I'm more asking because I can easily find this for ancient civilizations up to the middle ages, yet past that, its not as easy.
@BBDavid oh ok, I think I understand what you are asking. And you're right, it's really hard to be knowledgeable about those distinctions unless you study those civilizations verrrry closely, or could ask someone who lived there (which usually isn't possible anymore).
@BBDavid (additional info I meant to put initially) Now I find, that the anime drama section serves me well along with Asian crush in general because I've always wondered "where's the Chinese content?" Obvious answer is censorship though.
