1. Notes on child pornography & Hollywood: The production & consumption of this material is more widespread than people think. I knew an IT support guy at a major university who said they were overwhelmed with people on the network accessing this material.

The fact that there is an uproar means a taboo has broken down. The taboo is completely unspoken. However, an HIV/AIDS-type event would arrest the situation—as it did in the 1980s.

Gay men were bared from donating since they are at much higher risk / much more likely to carry STDs, including AIDS.
-
But the "right" to donate blood became a question of "equality" i.e. "How can we be equal if we can't donate blood?", which has forced a change in an otherwise reasonable policy, since blood testing not 100% effective + may miss new strands / mutations.

I don’t understand the science. However, the blood donation issue has been current at least since I was at university 10 years ago. It’s not a question of new strains, I think. A Bayesian analysis shows the risk is still higher from certain groups.

Essentially, the left pushes technology as far as it can go to facilitate the sexual revolution—whether with contraception or STDs. I suspect nature could throw up something like HIV/AIDS again. Maybe it already has and we don’t know

Mass intersubjectively hallucination of gender spectrum in place of binary, might be more devastating than AIDS. Memetic contagion more virile.

1. I’d like that, for the intersubjective to be primary. However, I think this actually functions hypocritically—as per USSR—people pay lip service to the idea while behaving as they always did. I first heard “non-binary gender” as a lyric on a Le Tigre album circa early 2000s...

2. ...These ideas have been around for a long time. The band Le Tigre would be advanced guard in this regard, but would have been talking about things that are now mainstream in the early 90s. But I suspect their world (Oregon) carries on uninterrupted.

Exactly. Joking about / mocking gays was just phase one in their wider social acceptance.
