Interesting but I find the ties between nuclear family and sense of community weak, especially when you want to talk about subculture... is there even a subculture that wasn't formed by people breaking from their families' mainstream morals? Also found the argument of this Michael frenchguy, quite nonsensical, and if anything else the era o sexual freedom ended more than a decade ago [...]

[...] just look how comteporaneous post-modernists ("wokes") scrutinized works from the 60s and 70s, it's all so problematic and outdated, they need trigger warnings because they don't depict modern values, who are incrasily moralistic... I find quite hilarious when I see adults claiming they were "groomed", as if they aren't capable of desire and agency, they have no volition, they are children [...]

i usually delete journal updates but i'm keeping this one up for the haters.
that's insane. Listening to just half the interview sickens me. I'm thankful my place is uncivilized that lookmaxxing isn't a thing. We're in opposite realities, unfortunately.
"chic pomo nihilism" has gotta be my new favorite term. I'm stealing it
good post. when it comes to attractiveness, I think there's a certain benefit to it, but that there's significant diminishing returns after a certain threshold. and honestly, most people reach that threshold just doing basic stuff like good hygiene, working out and eating healthy, going to your doctor's appointments, and wearing clothes that fit them well. everything else is an internal game.
