This is an ambitious work, like Graeber's The dawn of everything: A new history of humanity, building on the radical anthropology of prehistoric man, and Graham Hancock's Netflix Ancient Apocalypse, promising a radical rethink of both the how and why of homo sapiens. We need a 'new old' vision, linking us with the 80% of our history that preceded private property, slavery, war, and, oh yes, cities.

Evolutionary biologists Heather Heying and Bret Weinstein use Chesterton’s fence as their central metaphor: try to understand things before changing them.

The fallout from gaylib (gay liberation) is gaining momentum. It has split the Anglican church in two, after 12 Anglican archbishops from around the world announced that they no longer believe the Church of England to be their 'mother church'. The General Synod had just voted to allow priests to conduct blessings of same-sex couples in civil unions. 80% of nominal Anglicans are British and settler colonies Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, so assuming the faithful there approve, the process can be argued as democratic.

But they are 'dead souls'.

Andrea Dworkin: fucking per se is freedom per se*

Chapter 1: Sex must be taken seriously. I.e., It's not just a thrill, fun&games. Perry opens with Hefner vs Monroe, Britney Spears, and the countless other Monroe/ Spears destroyed by a handful of Hefners, child abuse, foster care, and domestic violence as adults. Hopping round dressed as bunnies. Some revolution. More like a counter-revolution.

It's as if LGBTQ+ is now a real word, like YHWH, a New Covenant (minus the god bit). What was the real state of affairs that inspired this new/old ideology promising pansexual bliss?

The Russian federal law "for the Purpose of Protecting Children from Information Advocating a Denial of Traditional Family Values", also referred to in English-language media as Russia's gay propaganda law, is intended to protect children from being taught that homosexuality is a norm in society, that it contradicts traditional family values. Hmm. Sounds okay. Gays find male-female sex disgusting, don't reproduce, so they don't qualify as traditional family. And is it really such a good idea to teach children that gay sex is just the same as male-female sex, equally deserving of respect? Equal before the law? Only a few decades ago, this would have been anathema, while Putin's law would have been seen as American as apple pie, or dare I say, motherhood.
