No, they have no idea how fucking clownishly stupid they sound because most of the people spouting nonsense are from the “philosophy is useless” crowd.

Predictably — because philosophy is ineluctably tied into anything we humans do — they start attempting to use philosophy when they need to rely on it, but have no tools to do so. Utter garbage then spews out.

Think Nonsense

Regarding that tard-ass person in the post below, I did some research. There are not many countries with no public libraries in the world. This is the list:

  • Somalia
  • South Sudan
  • Yemen
  • Central African Republic
  • Chad
  • Niger
  • Afghanistan
  • Sudan
  • Nauru
  • Tuvalu
  • Kiribati
  • Marshall Islands
  • Vatican City

So that means about 97.3% of the world does in fact have access to some form of public library. I could not easily discover how many of those countries’ libraries lend DVDs, but most do.ย  Of course, many people cannot get to or otherwise have problems accessing their library, but that was also true of me as a kid. The nearest one was quite a long drive away.

Do people even think a little before they write absolute nonsense? Apparently not.

Change Shift

There's a thing where some women get used to the feeling of having a lot of power in the socio-sexual space and don't seem to understand that as soon as they exit short termism it becomes much more balanced.

This is correct. Women when they are young have a huge amount of power over their same-age male peers. They are desirable rather than disposable and have just enormous sexual and social control over the spaces they inhabit. They let that go to their heads and believe it does and will hold forever.

But it doesn’t, even though many still act as if it is eternal as they age. However, as men get older and their libido decreases a little — and they gain some wealth and prestige — they learn to automatically discard any woman who sees herself as the prize just because she has a nice smile and a functional vagina. That’s going to be a bad relationship and the man knows it. That delusional woman who still perceives herself as the catch beyond age 28 or so is doomed to cycle through men who realize how horrid she is until she’s an old cat lady.

I’m not on the dating market but if I were I’d be the catch now. And some women never get used to that transition due to the vast sociosexual power they held in their late teens and twenties. They never recover from the loss of de facto power. So in some ways it’s good that men aren’t raised to believe they are some unfathomably great prize. It makes them a lot less entitled.
