You have to start from reproduction and survival adaptations, society is built around these.
If we start from a perspective of reproduction and survival adaptations we limit the scope of what society is built around, if those are the only contexts considered to form a view of class society then every addition to human nature is atomised away from consideration. Of course it looks as if those are the only ingredients society is built around if those are the only things under our microscope.
@slutmagazine As base and corrupt as the idea of value and wealth being a token of sexual commodity is, that idea is taken to its conclusion with the sex industry.
What is it if not a vulgar display of stagnant wealth and moral decline centred around sex?
@Antelope I got that point.
It's useful to gauge the IQ level of others though. I won't elaborate because you can obviously figure out the rest.
The argument against the sex industry practically writes itself from there.
Not sure I follow without presuming. Can you elaborate?
@slutmagazine It was unrelated.
The point I'm trying to make is that stupid or merely above average intelligence doesn't matter when the concept being executed by them is evil, it's only varying degrees of disaster at that point.
By having money become synonymous with status and power, which women are attracted to, women become attracted to money.
No, but that's an interesting point in itself.
Class society, ours as an example, mostly holds the idea of wealth in contempt, having wealth is a moral blight. And so when a woman is attracted to the byproducts of wealth (as I don't believe a woman can hold the concepts of wealth and it's constituent parts in her mind at the same time), society holds her in contempt by the same standard, but it is only her natural instinct to be drawn towards someone who has plenty. And that's the key, money is only a measurement of your 'plenty' the same way a litre is for water.
All that is to say, it is necessary that the male valued his creation of wealth for its own sake before the value of women in order for anything to claim it had any value in the first place. The idea that the accumulation of wealth is nothing but that of a birds performative mating ritual only works to diminish man himself and the wealth and value he has created.
The argument against the sex industry practically writes itself from there.
Read MoreI'm going to put your last statement into more concrete terms.
By having money become synonymous with status and power, which women are attracted to, women become attracted to money. But this is bad. This kind of economy is socially irresponsible.
Did I get you right?
@Antelope I don't get your meme.
But there is a difference between stupidity and merely above average intelligence. These people are not elite in their IQ number.
@adam-l I’m inclined to disagree for a couple of prominent reasons that come to mind.
The first being that sex, in the most base sense, is a byproduct of value, which is a byproduct of wealth which is a byproduct of effort which is a value unto itself. So that which comes as a result of something else surely can’t dictate to the former the value of itself before it has come about as a result of itself.
The second, sex being the only resource necessitates that women hold the ability over men to make them ‘wealthy’, but men can exist and create wealth independently (and to greater success) from women.
Monetary economy built the world around us, put food on our tables and encouraged an aspiration toward greater goals. The creation of value through monetary economy is the binding facet of a sexual economy, and eventual devaluing of the former in pursuit of the latter.
The point in its naked form would be this:
If women are attracted to wealth and/or power, it stands to reason that an accumulation of the sexual kind of economy comes or has come about due to an irresponsible handling of the monetary economy.
Read More@adam-l It seems like you’ve amalgamated sex and economy/industry - or more simply, see women as an economic token.
I say this because class society is first and foremost dictated by economic standards, derived of course by ones own individual industry, of which women are the benefactors (knowingly) and attach themselves to accordingly.
