    I’ve always hated that original meme. This is honestly much closer to the truth. The thing about hard times, is they don’t lead to “strong” men, historically they’ve led to thousands of years of misery. Likewise, good times oftentimes lead to academic and institutional strength that can also perpetuate itself, which is the whole idea behind a “golden age.”
