4. This is the only answer in an age where media production and consumption is so widespread. No amount of censorship, “rehabilitation” (no methods really proven to work), or mild prison sentences will change this.

I think we are more likely to see a push for decriminalisation > legalisation > protection. Linguistic reframe from pedophile to Minor Attracted Person (MAP) who hasn't offended (yet) and attraction isn't a thought crime. MAPs will attempt to join the Pride coalition to turbo...

...charge their voice + gain protection + detoxify their social status. UK society already proven remarkably tolerant to pedophiles providing they have other protected characteristics (Rotherham) so children clearly not actually sacred. WWT was fought + lost now WWP begins.

Yes, I think I mentioned the other day that the very fact there is an “uproar” over the issue led by Mike Cernovich is an equivalent to the “moral majority” backlash of the 1980s. The fact there is an uproar could be a dialectical step in normalisation next decade.

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.

There's a lot of ruin in a nation. Each click of the ratchet reduces the culture's fitness.
