I think the problem goes a lot deeper. Probably involving a lack of a group identity, that there is nothing greater than ourselves to attach ourselves to except ephemeral nonsense like brand name loyalty and video games.
Part of it is probably that nowadays we have entire movements of people essentially telling young people they're innately bad if they're not a racial minority, a certain gender, or LGBT (can't remember the full acronym).

Not saying it's necessarily a conscious affect on people, but I wouldn't be surprised if there are some at least subconscious negative effects on a young person from continuing to read/hear about how your entire specific race and/or gender is awful.

You do understand Aristotle became head of the royal academy of Macedon, at the time probably one of the wealthiest cities in the world?

He taught the same Alexander that turned into Alexander the great.

After this he went back to Athens where he set up his own academy. He was by all standards wealthy.

Your comparison is bad and you should feel bad.

Comparing one of the greatest minds of ancient history to gender diversity masters (or do they use a gender-neutral word?) shows the raw amount of stupid present.
You have such a crush on Aristotle. Lol.

Anyways, if Alexander the Great was so great then why
do we have so much income inequality?

Omg there's so much irony here. I do, however, agree with you, and, having been subjected to that bullshit, I don't want ANYONE being told they're essentially bad.

Too bad my allies are fucking retards.

I mean, he's not wrong. It's a stupid analogy. Aristotle, among other things, made important contributions to fields such as physics, zoology, and astronomy/meteorology that were part of advances in such fields. Comparing him to random gender studies majors who generally contribute nothing of value to society doesn't make sense.

Like I said before, they care more about whether that elf is trans than sane people do about almost anything.

Yup. Too much finger pointing and blaming (story of human nature I suppose), which will only result in us just continuing to sit in the morass we're in.

The bigger picture in that question was are (useless) fields such as MFA, MBA, gender studies, and philosophy useful in comparison to a bottom-teir (hehe) health care workers.

No. No they simply aren't. This is coming from someone who loves art, feminism, and philosophy. They're hobbies.

It's eye for an eye. They're pissed off marginalized groups of people who have recently acquired some level of social power and still remember how society (represented by cis white men) treated them not so long ago.

I understand them, but they're cringey whiny bitches who are going to eventually get us sent to camps Soo there's that.
