>Did niggas have insane t levels back then
Yes.
>or low IQ
No.
Thanks to eugenic filters such as caste-like breeding practices, exposure of unfit babies and sending young men off on the koryos, IQ and T levels of adult warriors (ie. free men and nobles) were very likely innately higher than now.
>or was life so abysmal
For a warrior of antiquity, life was objectively better than life for the average oversocialized urbanite bugman of today. More family, more social cohesion, less micro-plastics in your testes, less parasites in your bank and state apparatus.
>they didn't care if they died?
Warrior cults did tend to encourage accepting death in a way that is incomprehensible to the modern hedonist.
They also tended to fight for things that mattered...
