Why Heterosexuality is Declining in Generation Z, Especially in Women

Image
" I'm just saying that when things change this much, this fast, people are allowed to ask what's up with that ?"         Bill Maher Recent polls show an incredible increase in young people no longer identifying as heterosexual.  Around a quarter of Gen. Z identifies as trans, gay, gender queer, lesbian, pan-sexual and a number of other non-heterosexual categories.  And the rate is much higher in young women, so maybe a third of young women have shifted away from a traditional category? Why is this? Let's explore a few reasons why this has occured. First, let's make reference to the Salem Witch Trials. You may ask what that has to do with today. Well, Sigmund Freud discussed what he called "Social Contagion" (I know, during Corona media called that a new "conspiracy theory" yet Freud wrote about it in 1921).  He noted that when one person displays an emotion those around them connect and start to feel the same emotion.  So in reference to tr

How to Confront Someone Who Says, "Conservatives Are Banning Books!"

  " The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts ."  Marcus Aurelius Traditionally, there has always been a line drawn between what adults can see or read and what children can see or read.  Our movie rating system distinguishes between general audiences, things that are a bit questionable for children, things that imply a parent can choose if an under-18 can watch something or not and things that only adults can view.  Not many have challenged the purpose behind ratings for decades. And libraries have also tended to have a sort-of unwritten rule governing what is appropriate for children, especially in grade schools. Now the left has declared war on such standards. Of course we can go over various battles over what is and isn't appropriate in school libraries or even what kinds of performances children should be exposed to.  However, why not deal with how to counter people who want children to be thrown into the pit of western decay?  It isn't that hard. One

An Interview with Psychopaths Jeff and Anna. Pro-social v Anti-social Psychopathy

Image
" Apparances are a glimpse of the unseen. "  Anaxagoras This is a hypothetical interview with Jeff, an anti-social psychopath serving prison time and Anna, a pro-social psychopath marketing director for a firm specializing in children's entertainment. Let us assume they are being totally honest as they assume nobody will know their true identities.  Psychologist:  "Hello Jeff and hello Anna, sorry for the shackles Jeff, but your warden insisted. And Anna, I must say you are looking stunning as always. Thank you both for agreeing to meet today. It will advance my research into psychopathy. So Jeff, when did you first determine you were a psychopath?" Jeff: "Well, as a child I never really fit in. People thought I was a dork or something, maybe because I could not understand emotions. I mean, one day my teacher told us her dog got hit by a car and I raised my hand and asked what the big deal was, as she could buy another dog. Later during recess I got beat up

Digitized Money...Sure, More Efficient, But at What Cost to Our Freedoms? Maybe All.

  "The future of money is digital currency." Bill Gates  For my class project I was assigned to write an essay on personal economics. I decided to interview my mom on how things have changed since the 2020s, when she was a child, and today. So what I thought I would focus on was how the move to total digital currencies changed society forever. So where do I begin? I could point to how shopping is so much more convenient, and personalized. My mom said in her day you had to carry money or a plastic card to make a purchase. Now that is all handled with the digital wallet, or micro-chip, inserted into my hand.  Everything is connected to the bank and I get a notice when my funds are getting low. As I noted, even shopping is personalized. All people have had their DNA filed and analyzed for instance. According to my DNA I stand a 60% chance of developing type-2 diabetes in my life. So once I go over a prescribed threshold for sweets or carbohydrates, I am not authorized to buy an

The Course the Marxists Have Taken to Destroy Your Heritage, and thus, Destroy Your Culture.

  "To destroy a people, you must first sever their roots." Alexander Solzhenitsyn "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you." Exodus 20:12 I recently posted about the issue of obesity acceptance (body positivity) and a Democrat in my friends network attempted to take me to task. Ironically, the position she took inspired this article, and while it may not be obviously apparent, it ties together the quote from Alexamder Solzhenitsyn and well as the promise in the 10 Commandments above. The person taking the obesity-positive position took the premise that it was nobody's right but the state to question health choices within society.  If a person chooses to be obese, it not only is their right, but they have the right to not be questioned. Nobody has a right to try to inform them of the costs/benefits of weight on health and, in fact, society has the obligation to make public, and private, acco

Why the Liberal Mind Strives for Authoritarianism

  "Where love stops, power begins, and violence, and terror."   Carl Jung It is not hard to remember a few years ago when liberals and conservatives could hold conversations with each other, respect each other's opinions, and at the end agree to disagree.  What happened?  Well, Sigmund Freud might have provided a clue when he discussed the concept of "The narcissism of slight differences." What Freud speculated was that we have far less tolerance for people who are like us, but hold different core values, than we are people who are very different. For instance, way more condemnation came out against Russia when it banned promotion of homosexual themes to pre-18 school children than when a Middle Eastern nation might imprison or execute gay people.  I mean, Russians are a western people who look and generally behave as most Europeans, so liberals would think they should "know better" than to be so conservative whereas people in the Middle East have a fa

Drag Performances and Creating Sexual Confusion in Children Would have Appalled Sigmund Freud.

  "I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection."   Sigmund Freud Most of us can remember when school was a place to learn math, science, English, social sciences and to get to see friends.  About the most controversial issue that might come up is how evolution was presented in science classes (most science teachers were Christian, so usually no big deal) or maybe the topic of contraception in health class.  No teachers, especially in grade school, were promoting gender fluidity (no basis in biology), sexually explicit books in school libraries, or that tom boy girls needed to seriously consider having their breasts wacked off so they could "affirm their true gender." In fact, the whole purpose of government schools seems to have changed - and I mean, why not? Math and biology are racist anyway, so why not concentrate on sex and pronouns and such? Well, for one thing, it is going to mess the psychology of children up, a
