i did not expect kowani and bear stearns to top the charts for PQI. i assume that their presence is essentially an artifact of sampling -- they both simply happened to make several out-of-character effortposts within this span, which boosted their scores significantly.

Yea, you have said it. We know what you think. That's the point. I want you to say it directly, I don't want you to couch it in soclib terms or whatever. You think it's immoral for this to happen? Frankly I think it comes from your religious upbringing, not from a rational ethics. But either is fine. Then make the point. Place a position and stake your reputation on holding it. Treat your own position with more respect.Fahran wrote:I have asserted in previous discussions that free love and polyamory are not socially advantageous and that their advocates should remain in the minority whatever the cost. I actually jumped into this discussion and raised a couple of issues about sexuality and ethics related to it. Importantly, the absence of objectification doesn't make sexuality moral or ethical by default. It's simply one of many necessary elements.
Do you think it matters?Fahran wrote:This reminds me of Oakeshott's brand of conservatism more so than Russell Kirk's or the conservatism of the Southern Agrarians. One weakness of conservative paradigms at the moment is that the Overton Window only seriously incorporates liberal paradigms - it's why many socialists and nationalists still "hide their power levels" by masking their policies with discussions of liberal freedom and such. In my case, I was trying to present one element of a broader argument that might sway a particular audience.
It's not that they're "defiling each other's agency." It's that they're ursuing shallow relationships where sexuality is inordinate and improper that are not worth as much as more profound and intimate relationships where sexuality is ordinate and proper. I'm quite insistent on the acknowledgement of disparities in value and worth in this context. And on maintaining that, while vices may be a fact of life, they're still vices and not to be encouraged. Because vices, by their nature, are morally repugnant and harmful to the social fabric when taken to extremes.

Switching to mantises from centipedes, Roach Girl? I might write a little bit about the equestrian arts and horses in poetry from a conservative viewpoint soon since my dance posts never get wide reception aside from UMN telling me that ballet is degenerate.

I've tried locusts before. They were pretty good actually. I've tried them chocolate-covered and honey-seared, I believe.

When I was a boy, I used to think chocolate covered ants were part of Roald Dahl's wicked imagination after I read Charlie and The Glass Elevator. I can't imagine why people eat them, nor could I bring myself to find out by popping a couple into my mouth. Insects are definitely off the Mosaic menu.

honestly i effortpost and respond to effort posts (usually) because my career and education aren't oriented towards history, philosophy and politics, so it's a good way to expand my knowledge and practice what i already know in a casual setting with a relatively high concentration of educated people.
cekoviu, that post was one for the ages and should be included in the OP for future rwdts. outside of the fact that accurately and precisely mapping ns posting habits is probably inherently extrapolated because of the nature of posting (one day a week you spam 20 posts, the other six days nothing for example) it was very well done and im not surprised at who was "statistically" the best poster. joohan, we see you, dont be discouraged, keep posting.

You get one.
