Fair, though I more meant the people who are effective asexuals because they were taught to be ashamed of sexuality in general and deny any sexual desire they have with vigorous effort to feel “pure.”
That’s a whole lot different than someone who just doesn’t really have those impulses. The former is an act and they have my pity because of how such people are usually raised/abused to be in a constant state of conflict and hatred of their own impulses, the latter is a completely valid identity.
Shed your shame of pornography, unless that’s your kink.
Almost everybody bates, and those who don’t for reasons of indignation, I’m not hating on the genuine asexuals or people with health issues that inhibit self-pleasure, are usually the pent up, “only one right way to live” A types I don’t enjoy the company of or have any respect for anyway.
It’s been how many generations? The puritans that came here to escape living among cool Europeans to self flagellate are beyond dust. Prudes suck. Make lust not greed.
As humanity has found yet another way to pass the buck, it’ll be interesting to see the diminishing returns of LLMs as they begin to feed more and more on derivative content made by LLMs.
Just as with climate change, they’ll just keep shifting back and forth between “but there’s nothing wrong” to “it’s too expensive to implement this solution” to “Just give us a few years, we’ll come up with something better” in order to derail the argument because the point is to maintain the status quo.
The poorer the poorest are, the richer the wealth class feels by comparison. Inequality, separating the capital society generates from said society into the owner class’s private accounts, is the entire point of capitalism.
Why would capitalists want to mitigate the central social ill they literally engineered for their explicit, sole benefit?
Unless you grow and/or slaughter ALL your own food, you have eaten and will continue to eat both the intentional and unintentional shit, piss, spit, and cum of food processors, transporters, and preparers your entire life.
I know that freaks a lot of people out, personally it just reminds me that the idea of being clean in this world has always been a illusion and that there’s no point obsessing over something out of my control.
If we wanted that to happen significantly less, we could compensate and respect said workers commensurate with their vital role to society, fulfilling a universal basic human need, instead of treating them like shit, paying them shit, and calling food preparation/processing/serving “unskilled,” but we won’t, so enjoy!
I mean, it’s fine to disobey orders if it turns out obeying orders would have killed everyone.
Just as with Kirk, kind of hard to make the call to demote someone who can credibly state “you and everyone everyone loves would be a borg, dead, or living in a fascist dystopia if I followed your orders.”
It’s kind of a derivation on “If you aim to kill the king, best not miss.” if you aim to flout the rules without consequences, you better get species saving outcomes.
