  2. I’m sorry, but the part about liking stuff we say we despise and secretly supporting offenders on TV is such a BS.

  4. Online pornography is a legitimate tool to escape the game of status driven sexual selection. Its the tool of the modern day munk who does not deceive himself of his drives (that generally end up abusing children as a result).

  5. Last one cynism and dispair is not so bad as it is the truth sadness, surrounds the world and we are not the only one who is suffering…..it shows world doesnt revolve around one person….some are living more terrible life than us….noone is special,there is no purpose and all we can do is find peace in this obscure reality.

  9. I've been telling myself self. I need to stay. In this harmful relationship to finish school. A school that haven't been started yet. I think I just need to stop lying to myself and leave like a strong person. I know I can be and stop lying to myself that I need him for something.

  21. I like this series but one thing concerns me. When you say “we condemn certain kinds of sexual tastes as deviant and beyond the pale because we deep down share them” it’s relativisation of actual sexual deviance, which exists and it hurts many people, especially women and children. For example sexual sadism and paedophilia. You are talking about reaction formation here, and that definitely exists, for example some people who are sexually repressed will exaggerate negative effects of sexual promiscuity, while wishing deep down they themselves could engage in it, but the key word is *exaggerating*. There are too many examples of society being gaslighted by real, dangerous perverts, and the objectors to what is obviously a deviant behaviour being shamed as “pearl clutching prudes” that led to a lot of tragedy, such as serial sexual abuse within certain industries, grooming gangs, institutionalised sexual abuse of children etc. How do you think all these sinister perverts get away with their behaviour in front of everyone? Because people don’t want to be labelled prudes for speaking out against it. So yeah, it concerns me how off-handedly it was implied in this video that any objection to someone’s sexual tastes is a reaction formation rather than possibly a valid concern.

  24. Pain drives up towards immortality. You don't learn from pain because he go to doctors and keep your job. The Bible is very clear that it is a sin to work with your hands. The devil turn this around and said Idle Hands are the devil work. You have to ask yourself whether God is the creator or you are the Creator? Look at what God has created and look what man has created. Man has created cities of delusion out of men's blood. Man has work to cut down God's forest and pave paradise. Fruit grows on trees. Jobs are slavery. The birds do not toil nor do they spin
