Romantic Values

Some values during the romantic era in America were valuing youth over the old, intuition over reasoning, love over logic, and the such. Spontaneous reactions to something usually lead to the person following their spontaneity, as opposed to logical reasoning. People today perhaps are emotional because of this, because our logic and thinking's evolution had been halted in our social organic structure that we do not continuously develop these aspects anymore We find that sometimes people recommend we follow our intuition over reasoning. This is the cause of America's great lack of mathematical skills (on average) and science (on average) as opposed to other cultures that value logic and reason above love and emotion. We also notice that Western culture values love more greatly, places more emphasis on monogamy and devotion to "romantic" love compared to cultures of other societies. This is what the Romantic era has done to us, it had halted our evolutionary path biologically and socially: a great, tragic blow to humanity.
