Caesar wasn’t even the one who renamed those months. The senate named July in Caesar’s honor after his death, and then did the same for August during the reign of Augustus.

There is that of God in everyone.

I agree with everything you just said but I don’t see how it refutes the statement I wrote:

Advancements in technology and governance since the modern era have made it significantly less hard, but in the grand scope of history, it’s been really really hard.

If “technological advantages and a fair social system” weren’t really hard to implement, then every civilization would have them.

They didn’t say it’s impossible to have society without wealth disparity.

They said it’s “really hard” to have the necessary labor distribution for scientific advancement and to digest other civilizations’ works without wealth disparity.

And they’re right. It’s really hard to make those advancements without having people whose full-time jobs are to be scientists, artists, and scholars. It’s really hard to be a full-time scientist, artist, or scholar unless you’re wealthy enough that you don’t have to work all day for basic resources, or have the patronage of someone who is. It’s really hard to be wealthy enough not to work all day for basic resources unless there’s wealth disparity.
