The Swedish theory of love

In summary, the conversation discusses the documentary "The Swedish Theory of Love" and a graph that shows Croatia as the country in the middle. The participants express their opinions on the best country to live in and the risks of love affairs. They also bring up the topic of religion and its role in resolving conflicts. Finally, they mention the benefits of a classical education in understanding and combating issues such as honor violence and dueling.

Yesterday I have seen the excellent documentary "The Swedish theory of love". (Yes, you can find the full documentary on YouTube, and no, it's not about sex!) Perhaps the most interesting part in the documentary is this graph.

And guess which country is right in the middle? Croatia! If that is not the proof that Croatia is the best country to live in in the world, then I don't know what is. :biggrin:

Far too risky for love affairs!

While looking up the definitions, I ran across the World Values Survey which seems to be where this came from. It also has a nice video showing how it changes over time.



I would personally prefer countries in the top right.

Reminds me of Rafferty's old song "Clowns to the Left of us, Jokers to the Right! Still I'm stuck in the middle with you.." :cool:

Unless one is Catholic as confession resolves controversy.
So-called "christian Marxism" relinquishes religion from Honour while (hopefully) retaining ethics and morality.

[One benefit of a classical education are the many old-time polemics against Honour-violence and the waste of dueling. One need only look at the lives of poor Galois, murdered in a contrived 'duel', and Schwarzschild pere, sickened and dying early as a WWI veteran.]
