FUCKING TEA
Frankenstein got written because Mary Shelley was the only person in her peer group to finish Nanowrimo
Wasnāt her peer group full of horny frat boys who were constantly having parties and in her desperation to have one chill day with no one trying getting all handsy, she mentioned that thereās this writing thing and vaguely insinuated that they wouldnāt be able to do it and then all the boys were like āYES I CAN JUST WATCHā and at the end of it all Mary Shelley finally had time to write about this idea she had dreamed about without some dumb horny boy trying to tell her how women should be in his bed instead of writing?
that is technically an accurate historical recap, yes
Also, while stuck with all these intellectual dude bros who were constantly going on about how great they all were, she wrote a main character who thought he was the greatest and smartest but then refused to take responsibility for anything leading to the destruction of his entire life.
ahhahahaahahaha

Humans are a communal species that have banded together and cared for their sick, disabled, and elderly since before we were ever modern man. Resources were shared even as skills specialized.Ā
Capitalism isnāt natural. A community should not have members dying of starvation or exposure while there is an abundance of resources. That isnāt how it works. That isnāt how itās supposed to work.
ok so my roommates are anthropology students and their favorite example for debunking theĀ āsurvival of the fittestā bs is shanidar 1. (x, x, x)
shanidar 1 is a neanderthal who, at a pretty young age, was hit in the head hard enough to blind him. this also led to that side of his brain shutting down and withering his right arm, and possibly crippling his entire right side. not only that but his skeleton also shows that at some point, he broke a bone in his foot and, in addition to the other factors, resulted in a noticeable limp. there are some sources which say he likely had degenerative diseases. (arthritis was really common in neanderthals)Ā
going off of widespread ideas of āāprimitiveāā (no longer the word used in anthropology/academia to describe early-modern humans) societies, shanidar probably died really young, deliberately abandoned or killed. i mean, he was severely crippled, blind, etc., he couldnāt contribute anything, he would have been a āāburden to societyāā, right?Ā
except he lived to be between 40 and 50 years old. (about ~80 in human years)
this means that his social group had to have taken care of him for a minimum of two or three decades without hisĀ ācontributingā anything significant to the group. this discovery (and Shanidar IIIās) was hugeĀ because it basically proves that early humans had a concept of hospice. early modern humans cared for the sick and the elderly, greatly extending their lifespan, simply because they cared.Ā
tl;dr: the concept of someone needing to be āāusefulāā orĀ āāāproductiveāāā in society in order to be valued and cared for is a very modern concept and our quasi-predecessors would be ashamedĀ
Also, Shanidar I was buried with flowers. They cared about him afterĀ he was dead, too.
I needed this kind of positivity today
And of course he probably DID contribute. Just, not in the sense meant by people who use phrases like āburden to societyā.
