Thanks everybody. Better luck next time
its kind of interesting you know, for probably a couple of hundred years, peoples ability to talk about (eg) sex was really constrained...
-
-
and so as I understand it sex (again eg) was intellectually, or in public discourse, just this giant stupid kabuki ritual
-
no idea how sex was studied (or not) but I imagine the same in academic circles, you can get away with a lot as long as you salt with jargon
-
and as long as you don't try to go public with the obvious implications of your work, of course sure you can think of contemporary examples
-
so maybe we go through that same bullshit again for another hundred years, just a new topic
-
but also sex went on in spite of all Moral crusades to stop it and um kind of don't see these efforts changing ground reality here either
-
anyway, probably smart move is to shrug, take ideas private, work with the system, and enjoy the fruits of hypocrisy like everyone else does
-
It would be good if we don't let the church of social justice monopolize moral and intellectual authority on this issue tho...
-
it would be good but no reason to throw yourself in front of a train fine to tend your garden instead. this too shall pass.
