In systems ruled by the tyranny of popular opinion, currency matters more than accuracy. That is, this week we are talking about the Cornell Seven, so you had better fall in line or you will be ignored, bypassed, and soon after that, homeless. Conform or die!
We should mention here that media opinion diverges from everyday opinion: the media wants to offer lots of bittersweet ambiguous compromise opinions, but the average functional American has one opinion about the Cornell Seven: gas them all and the accuser.
Sure, we have one woman willing to engage in hyperbolically degrading sexual practices just for a little attention, and then seven dudes who are participants, whether enthusiastic or merely Catholic-style-guilted into participating, in the same degeneracy.
What would an excellent leader do? Gas them all. They are defectives. They are all horrible. This is irreducible. Nothing that these people are doing is relevant to a thriving society; instead, they are simply one more part of the decay.
The average American, and indeed the average human, is of this opinion, not from religious sentiment so much as the recognition of the basics of human behavior, which recognizes that people this excessive and callous are simply detritus at the bottom of the trash can of collapse.
As usual, we can apply the Prozak Test: if $thing magically vanishes tomorrow, would anything be worse? The Cornell Eight — including the accuser — promise us nothing but a future of collateral damage and abusive personal relationships.
Perhaps we are already tired of hearing of the Cornell clowns, but more broadly, we are tired of the endless rape accusations. We do not believe E. Jean Carroll and Christine Blasey-Ford, and we are starting to realize that Anita Hill is suspect, too.
Do we like rape? Of course not, but what we are seeing with “MeToo” and its descendants is not punishing of rape but punishing men for enjoying casual sex and then moving on, leaving dried up box-wine neurotic harridans who now want revenge.
Our entire discourse has been poisoned by a relatively small percentage of the population that pursues casual sex as an activity. Everyone else is seeking to partner up and make a functional life as humans have done since the dawn of time. That is practical, not “moral” per se.
But even that small group has turned the sexes against each other. Men are enraged at women for showing up after three hundred lovers and demanding the love and respect a virgin could request, and women are furious at men for having sex with them and then leaving.
What got around all of this, without being restrictive, was the positive feedback loop system of courtship. This is the same thing animals do in nature. The man and woman get to know each other, do normal things together, and if all goes well for awhile, pair up and move forward.
The sex appears only after the pairing, which makes the pairing the focus. This creates happy families. For people who are not destined for happy families, the simple pleasures of life — drink, smoke, drugs, sex, gambling, fine dining — are all that remains, and they over-indulge.
With a courtship system, everyone looks up to the success stories instead of focusing on the people who are obviously not destined for happy families. You aspire to have a virginal, practical, yet affectionate marriage and healthy offspring.
This means that everyone orients themselves toward this form of winning, and those who are not have to do their thing in out-of-the-way places. Aspirational people who are hoping to rise in life will emulate this template for success.
With equality however society tends toward the lowest common denominator, and therefore you end up worshiping the type of sex that sad perpetual single alcoholics tend to have. You orient toward failure and bring in weird diversity like the Cornell Eight, then get predictable results.
