    • @@ronrice1931 I kind of took what was said from a Protestant scholasticism lens, so I think they failed to clarify how the so-called “sexual revolution” still functions within that same framework, even though sex has become detached from procreation culturally. Which also means that our culture has become even more detached and distanced from nature itself. That’s not necessarily a good thing, especially if one cares about the broader interests of society, rather than catering to the anti-social small interests that seek to maximize their own returns at the expense of others. That’s just one way of looking at it, I understand your concern though, being sentimental about the past isn’t necessarily the best way to go about things either.

  • Maybe the problem is rooted in commodity culture, i.e., finding a relationship has become like shopping for a thing, and if it isn't perfect you don't buy in. In a time when education has given people so little confidence in knowing anything worthwhile and in being able to share it, and as they're so buried in their empty phones, am not surprised that numbness and fear have outstripped erotic and emotional life.

  • There's a lack of numbers of adults around to provide guidance for our teenagers. No village, no tribe, no clan, no extended family. More folks with more skillsets are simply just NOT in close proximity for TOO many young people. This is HOW the group raised up the adolescent humans for 200k+ years. Helping them through pubescence, guiding them through the difficult, challenging, changing period of a young person's life. That's been unintentionally given up on, BUT is one very important key human activity that needs to be once again assigned value. BECAUSE, we humans do what is valued, get done what is given priority, and accomplish that which we "see" or realize as MOST important.

    • I totally agree. But I’d like to add a further overlooked point: it all starts with carer-infant relationship. The main carer needs to be essentially wrapped up in the relationship with the infant (and for several years) making care of the young child the centre of family life. Babies and children whose main carer is distracted by mobile phones or tablets becomes the adolescent and adult who craves the attention it didn’t get at the right time, thus developing disorders of the ego, distortions in self relating and in transactions with others. I’m astonished (not!) that in the 21st century we still do not teach child development and effective parenting skills at school.

    • Absolutely right. And children also instinctively copy the adults around them, not just rely on their verbal advice. Nowadays, young parents deliberately reject any guidance from their elders, any involvement beyond the basics--- such as giving praise and presents --- is seen as an attack on their parental authority. They in stead go online to seek advice from either 'experts' or, more often, from the young adults like them. Traditionally though, it was the grandmothers who raised the children, not the inexperienced young parents. In ALL the human societies, the continuity between a living generation and their ancestors was given the most priority because this is how any human community reproduces itself. The western people are living through an unprecedented break between the generations, we are not able to reproduce ourselves and are all left to struggle on our own. The fact that our youngsters cannot even 'mate' properly is yet another sign of this deep malaise.

    • I agree. The "phenomenon" of cross-dressing, middle-aged, upper-middle income and above men is, I think, rather easily explained. They are repressed homosexual men who came of age during the first twenty or so years of the HIV-AIDS crisis when no treatment was available. They married, had families, climbed the career ladder and are among the chief beneficiaries of a forty year bull market in equities. Entering or approaching late middle-age, they now feel less insecure about expressing their sexuality given their current social and financial status. Whether or not their spouses know, they are no doubt now less inhibited due to the deaths of their elder family members, their children being well into adulthood, and the currently prevailing positive social attitudes towards transgender behaviour. When you win at the card table, you do what you want with your winnings.

    • There is nothing revolutionaryabout this woman's personal observations about the sex lives of others. Your takeaway shows that her views are in fact regressive. "Honest sexual relations" do not repress the rights of one half of society for the sole benefit of the other. At this stage in societal development women are just as capable of providing for and raising a family on their own. Basing the structure of a society around monogamy by enforcing an anarchaic institution like marriage only has and will only continue to benefit men. There is nothing "honest" about that.

  • Celibacy was actually initially practiced (in Christianity) by monks. Not all priests. It was part of living in community practicing contemplative prayer. Celibacy was also practiced in most communities of Buddhist monks, for similar reasons. The Catholic church did not require it of all priests until around 1000 ad. She correctly states the reasoning. But doesn't seem to understand the monastic history. My guess is that Chris would know this.

  • Chris Hedges is one of the people I admire most He knows everything about derailed society and one feels his basic kindness and humanity behind his vehement attacks. I rarely disagree with him but I do on one subject. He utterly condemns pornography and I don't. This does not mean I am a particularly a fan of pornography but I disagree with him..I find it too fixated on the genitals and continuous boring pumping with a reduction of eroticism; almost puritan from that point of view, almost desexualised. When I have heard Hedges speak about this subject he condemns it absolutely and sees it as a commercialised violation and rape of women. This is not true and many women thoroughly being in such films. Nature calls as well as commerce, or together with it. There is not one of us in whom socialised and commercialised patterns are not deeply embedded. I have quite often heard women say they are attracted to powerful men such as politicians. Some middle class women are attracted to working class men, and so on. Homosexuality, which Hedges defends, arrives form such patterns. Pornography is a valid protest against puritanism; in fact they are two sides of the same coin Of the two I prefer pornography. In a more civilized society they would be so blended into one another that nothing of either would remain as a separate entity, as in what I have read about Ancient Hawaii,They did not need pornography as something like it was happening all the time. People had sex in front of each other of their children. Marriage was not a fixed institution or prison from which people in our societies are continually escaping. One Hawaiian woman told a missionary that she had had 40 affairs outside her marriage. Unperturbed. Children did not need the protection of a family as all their elders were their family. Nor did unplanned babies of young girls. Blessed are those who can remain in one couple all their lives but they are exceptions. Marriage is not sacred as I heard one person in the interview say. It is the restrictions that lead so-called illicitness. to havoc and pornography acrimonious divorces and lethal, damaging battles for the custody of children and property.

  • Chris went through a lot in his life seeing all the suffering and the death. Patience to focus on the negatives and that's fine because that's what impacted his life growing up. For me shining a light on darkness is turning to the positive and natural. Being in the moment enjoying the music the body movements the flow of breathing and nature. If I keep focusing on the negative my level of joy and happiness drops considerably.

  • First, the Con Edison has failed to prove that Butler’s non-criminal consumption of a legal substance rose to the level of abuse or that Butler’s consumption of alcohol adversely affected his job performance or the public’s trust (whatever that is). Moreover, the only consequence of off-duty chemical substance abuse is that the employee will be sent for a JFE. Here, Butler was sent for a JFE on December 16, 2014 tested negative for drugs and alcohol. On December 13, 2014, Butler was purported observed by Officer Brito moving from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat a couple of hundred yards from the DWI checkpoint. Officer Brito did not testify that Butler was driving erratically or displayed other indicia of someone that was driving while impaired. The Union concedes that Officer Brito’s assumption that Butler’s actions were to avoid being identified as either a driver who had been drinking or a driver who might not have had a valid license is reasonable. It is also reasonable for Officer Brito to assume that if he could see Butler then Butler could see him. That assumption is not reasonable. Officer Brito also demonstrated his expertise and training in many facets of alcohol and drug testing but the only verified test result was the breathalyzer results. This is important because clearly Brito had an animus against Butler. Brito testified that Butler was quietly being difficult and when Brito was asked why he issued Butler a summons for refusing to test AFTER he submitted to a breathalyzer test Brito testified that Butler was walking out of the police station with a summons regardless. Butler was issued a summons that was so patently meritless that the Westchester District Attorney’s office did not even submit opposition to Butler’s motion to dismiss. (Union Exhibit “2“) The Union submits that Brito’s testimony is troubling. A police officer charged with upholding the law and who described himself as an expert in the observation of behavior under the influence of drugs and alcohol and who is also charged with knowledge of the NYS Vehicle and Traffic Law issued a summons that (based on his expertise) he had to know was invalid Brito practically admitted that since Butler gave him a hard time and wasted his time that night (because he did not engage in criminal conduct), he was going to give Butler a hard time. That hard time translated into the issuance of an invalid summons that forced Butler to retain counsel and utterly wasted the time of the Court that dismissed the summons that the Westchester County determined unworthy of opposition.

  • I didn't realize listening this was about a 20+ year old book, with some rather harshly mixed reviews, for good apparent reasons. One highly ranked review advises that anyone with serious alt communities experience likely knows more than this book discusses, and may find it an excercise in fathoming the biases of the author. The interview seems to hit a few interesting issues, but to really cherry pick and skip other contexts. Among other issues, fet scene tends to require being part of community to have access, while places she mentioned like The Vault were known as "touristy".

  • Most tribal cultures have an understanding of stages of life , alternative approaches , and accept many variations of body interpretations . Some cultures do not expect women to be attractive , some , like peacocks , adorn the masculine , not the females . So what needs to be looked at is the Simplication applied to our society in 1930 , the simplicating of our life experience , male female black white rich poor , that allowed people like Hitler to dominate peoples psyche . To truly understand this one must understand the nature of OXYTOCIN , which is not a bonding hormone, it is a hormone of forgetting , which brings us back to base . All extreme escalations of sensation , be it sex organs , body pain , or sky diving , will bring forth an oxytocin rush . That includes the extreme of experience of being countercultural , or un natural . Until the nature of oxytocin is understood scientifically, as well as dopamine , we are going to be easily manipulated . First limit options , simplication , then tweak this simplified experience, create oxytocin , forget . go back again . You can talk into the imagery , but it is all spiraling increase of sensation , be it pleasure or pain , which stimulates the release of oxytocin . Please feel free to contact me about this information .
