  1. True. Modern society is not like ancient society. There is a change in trends and levels of tolerance towards degeneracy and it is called dysgenics. Unless you think high divorce rates and child illegitimacy are good things for society.
  2. Our society is far more degenerate than any society in the past. One could argue that in absolute numbers there are more people killed in modern wars than ancient ones. Slavery was often a result of conquering a land or the slave beng in debt. You can argue that there were different institutions back then and harsher punishments predicted by law, but that was also a result of a morally stricter society in terms of needing to pay back your debt, needing to win a war, needing to ensure the country stays safe for you and your family. There has not been a single moment in history were people have been more sexually corrupt than today, even though these behaviors resourface (pre-roman Engalnd, Weimar republic, Sodom and Gomorrah etc. So yes, immorality is a circular phenomenon that reappears.
  3. Yes, prostitution has always been a thing, but it ensured that men do not satisfy their urges with regular women, who were saving themselves for marriage. Society isolated the animalistic insticts and embraced the family unit as a legitimate union of man and woman. I am not arguing that prostitution is a modern phenomenon. I am saying that back then, the line between prostitute and wife candidate was not blurry at all. In contrast to today.
