Fetishizing Feudalism

Basically every culture romanticizes their history, and remakes it for the silver screen. That is because, of course, they've never seen the feudal era...and would die instantly if they did. Our past is filled with horrible values, deadly diseases, and -surprisingly- even worse economic systems. I wish people would look forward more and try to use the past, only to understand, avoid potential mistakes, and experiment with things that have worked.
