  • I’m not saying it’s a good thing. It’s a symptom of the concentration of wealth.

    But if you’re a politician and want a quick, popular, short-term solution you get quicker effects giving the big spenders more money. It would be better to lift everyone, but that takes a lot more work.

    Which is what’s been happening for decades, and has gotten us into this mess. We’ve been kicking a lot of cans and we’re running out of road.


  • After that, there will be only the ultra rich and the destitute poor left; and the ultra rich will only be able to take from each other.

    It’s already starting to happen. Half of consumer spending in the US is done by just the top 10% of earners. For an economy built on consumer spending this means that you get more economic growth by giving those rich people more money to spend, not by lifting up the other 90%.


  • Thanks for this because it is exactly what I’m talking about. I wasn’t raised in a Christian house, but anything that was even vaguely titillating was considered obscene. When your mom angrily throws out a Victoria’s Secret catalog calling it “disgusting” how are you supposed to feel about liking the pictures?

    If someone thinks their physical attraction is disgusting, perverse, or annoying how are they supposed to negotiate a relationship?



  • “Polite” implies that if you’re agreeable and friendly women will understand that you’re interested in them and not just being agreeable and friendly.

    I think part of the problem is that what we’re all really after is fucking, which isn’t polite at all. Being polite about it just makes you look weak and ineffective at the thing that we all say we want but can’t mention.

    If any mention of sex by a man is considered inappropriate, how is a man supposed to negotiate sex?

    This is a big reason why I’m engaged: We got the impolite part out of the way first.


  • at house parties

    Try this not at a house party.*

    I’m lucky that I met my fiance after being loaned to her as a sex toy by someone I met on OKC

    * What I mean here is that there aren’t many “third-spaces” as the neo-urbanists call them, where it is assumed to be appropriate to approach anyone romantically. Workplaces have HR, and contrary to Pornhub there aren’t many chances for romantic connection in your home.

    My hypothesis is that having a place where people go to see and be seen is essential to the human mating process.
