      Not necessarily, my friend. I agree that every civilisation does have its ups and downs, not denying that. But how much were your designs accessible to disabled individuals? Did you ever think of that? Or did you just let them rot away, as we used to in medieval times? Call yourself advanced, but you’re no different from us. You cannot deny the significant cultural influence that my country, England, has had on yours and your people. From language to literature, traditions to institutions, the impact of English culture is undeniable. I’m not claiming superiority, as I’m a common folk myself, and I have suffered as much as your people have at the hands of hypocrisy. But culturally, I’m proud of what we have achieved as English people, and the positive contributions we have made to the world, including India, where our influence has left an indelible mark on art, language, education, and governance.

    Gongs were common in my Brazilian neighborhood as late as the 1990s. Even my household had one during my early childhood, and I hear there are still some in the countryside.
    Even after public sewage was made widely available, some people resisted connecting their homes to the sewers in order to avoid waste removal bills, choosing to keep their gongs, to discharge waste directly on the local creek or even connecting their home waste to the rain drainage. Took a few years to convince them all to use the sewers..

In 2021, Americans still use outhouses. Idk why, but I think that's wildly fascinating.

      it disappoints me that, when we are are the precipice of a worldwide shortage of the elixir of life- potable water- that the rich countries still sh*t in clean drinking water.
      toilets have not changed in basic concept since they were invented. but there are definately MUCH better ways to dispose of our waste- ways that don't pollute and deplete the environment and the fresh water supply. actually, our waste, if properly managed, can positively contribute to the planet.
      thing is, composting, vermaculture, leech fields, etc. have no massive profit potential, and involve a little actual work and time and responsibility from individual humans. probably for these reasons, it's actually illegal in most places, in the usa at least.
