I shouldn’t have used the word modern here, but I’m inclined to accept that there are some universal principles that rationally make sense, like not enslaving other people against their will or abolishing hierarchies.

This makes even more sense, if you assume that sympathy is a basic human function. To break it down to a personal level, it makes even less sense to keep slaves, for example, if you are able to feel with them.

But of course, everyone who acts in history has their reasons to rationally explain and justify their current set of morals, I’m not disputing that.

That’s why I hate this idea that you can’t judge things by “modern” standards. People always knew it was wring but decided to do it anyway.

This is called hyperparasitism

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperparasite.

Three levels of parasitism have been observed in fungi: a fungus (Rhinotrichella globulifera) on a fungus (Gen. Hypomyces) on a fungus (Fomes hemitephrus) on a tree.[9]

Same here, I have been doing that for around 20 years now too and I started out with postfix and a list of vmails in a text file.

I wonder where this myth comes from. People host way more out there stuff themselves, but somehow email is too scary …
