Great article on an unearthed classic.

Sadly his assertion that 'the group within the society which suffers the greatest continence displays the greatest energy and dominates the society‘,

does not seem to be true nowadays. At least not in the cultural realm. Possible that our rich and powerful constrain themselves, but they certainly preach differently.

Very insightful article, thanks.

Small observation: at first you used the adjective "monistic", then switched to "manistic", and they hold different meanings. A typo?

Yeah, autocorrect kept trying to 'fix' that for me. I must have missed some. Thanks.
