Gentlemen and magazines.

I've been learning a bit about gentlemen and magazines recently and I dare say, in modern day the latter does not seem to be helping out the former one single bit. There are countless articles that are pure garbage, and very few magazines are feeding the mind and soul with intelligent thought. Back in the day, men's magazines would feature the writing of great men like F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway that were thought provoking and were beneficial for the day. It just doesn't make sense to me. We raise our standards constantly with each passing year. Baseball records are beaten and health regulations are increased. What about the bar set for a gentleman? Shouldn’t the standards continually rise proving that men are becoming better learners, better educators, and are improving what it means to be a man?

I feel like it is not too much to ask that men are given material that is beneficial and not so consumerist driven. That's all.
