Society has never evolved from the standpoint of viewing sex as a social contract. We don't trade livestock for peoples' daughters anymore, but the principle still remains. The man achieves wealth and power and success...and he is then rewarded with sex from the woman. In this economy a females sexual appeal is infinitely valuable and can be traded for almost anything a man can produce. Its no wonder society only values females bodies. |

The beginnings and ends of shadow lie between the light and darkness and may be infinitely diminished and infinitely increased. Shadow is the means by which bodies display their form. The forms of bodies could not be understood in detail but for shadow. |

I think, with Obama and the progressives, you've seen a massive expansion of big government, and it's all based on a moral premise. The moral premise is that wealth is theft. And I don't just mean the wealth of America, I mean, your wealth, my wealth. |

There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don't need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain. |

Almost all wars, perhaps all, are trade wars connected with some material interest. They are always disguised as sacred wars, made in the name of God, or civilization or progress. But all of them, or almost all of the wars, have been trade wars. |

I often say that if you want to really want to understand the contract of marriage, just ask anyone who has been divorced. The marriage contract is one of property rights. Or maybe you can look in the Bible to see what Adam had to say about divorce, since Eve was his second wife. |

The principle though remains the same, and the important thing is CBS fought hard, very hard, to protect that principle and will fight again. |

There is also work to do in the evolution of a stable family life and values, and in ensuring that the Nigerian family is built on core values that will form the bedrock of the future society. We must showcase the ideals of family life and be models of family values. |

A city is a state - of mind, of taste, of opportunity. A city is a marketplace - where ideas are traded, opinions clash and eternal conflict may produce eternal truths. |

Anyone who knows anything of history knows that great social changes are impossible without feminine upheaval. Social progress can be measured exactly by the social position of the fair sex, the ugly ones included. |

I definitely am drawn to strong females who are successful, smart women because I am a woman like that. I think it's important to portray those kinds of women on film and television. Especially as a black woman, I think it's important. |

Former anthropology student here: Actually, livestock was given to families for daughters because the family was losing a worker. Dudes were compensating families for the loss of labor, while themselves gaining a worker and the ability to generate new workers. The social contract of marriage has historically been about pooling/exchanging labor and resources, not sex. There have always been other ways to buy sex.

"Show me a man or a woman alone and I'll show you a saint. Give me two and they'll fall in love. Give me three and they'll invent the charming thing we call 'society'. Give me four and they'll build a pyramid. Give me five and they'll make one an outcast. Give me six and they'll reinvent prejudice. Give me seven and in seven years they'll reinvent warfare. Man may have been made in the image of God, but human society was made in the image of His opposite number, and is always trying to get back home."

The history of marriage and the history of sex then suggest to me that individuals value sex, but society actually values labor.

Why does everyone pretend that social interaction is not a power play? It's the weirdest thing. We smile to bear our teeth in equality, except we are all evolved enough to look past the competition of survival of the fittest. Are the laws of nature the expression of spiritual love, or is it the transcendence of them that is loving?

I have a big problem: There is a forum I've written on for a couple years now called high existence where people ponder reality and different social issues with regards to freedom and truth and love. Ive met two alcoholic guys there who are very creative and I started to look up to them more than myself bc they always seemed to have an answer for everything, even if it was that I was a worthless cunt doll who should be dragged by the hair and curb stomped. I shared so much with these people and still look up to them so much even though they both think I'm a pathetic attention whore and say I'm so empty I can't fill a blank space and only want the d. They take all of my anxiety and worry from their slander and channel it into making art that everyone else admires them for as creative geniuses. One of then claimed to be In love with me for a year and spoke to me everyday with seeming sincerity, and even got me to drive to Minnesota to see

I don't know how or why any part of society would enforce that system of upgrading the robots.
Elon is going to put computers in our brains and then we'll upgrade those instead.

Dude or dudette, I have trouble with this all the time. My thoughts is that EVERYONE is capable of being considerate and bettering themselves but they just don't care. However I think after years or decades of not giving a shit about anyone but themselves, they get stuck in that mindset. Nurture is so important because as we know most people tend not to change thaaat much, so if they are being raised well then they end up having these lifelong values stuck with them.
I've seen tons of people who seem incapable of considering others, but I find that at least some reflect on their actions, but when they are in the thick of it, don't consider or reflect on those thoughts, which I get, it's hard to be active and reflect at the same time.

Though I agree that it is a pretty common trope in media today for a male hero to be rewarded with the primary female lead (regardless of the boring details of their actual day-to-day compatibility, regardless of whether she wants it, because of course she does). Being rewarded for doing everything right by getting a girlfriend and sex has become such an assumed aspect of a good ending that I am a bit troubled by it.

But i dont care about society. I care first and foremost about myself because I am willing to shed the unnecessary. After me comes my family but if my family isn't willing to shed the fat of american culture then theres only so much I can do. They dont have to live in a rain forest with me but if they want to I will help them.
