Yep! But being a modern man, I take no responsibility for my actions. Please see my post #39.

Why list Lynne Anderson? Parker Crutchfield is the attributed author.

And what he suggests putatively has obviously already been done across the board. Just look at the estrogens in the environment and falling T levels.

Of course, this clown’s solution to the “pandemic” is more money for his creepy research in “ethics”.

That’s oxycontin, but these people need to take a look at all their complaints about injecting pedophiles with estrogen from the past...

What is ality, and why do we need more of it?

(When I used to teach Intro to Ethics F2F that was the first line of my first lecture. Recently I met by chance a student from 25 years ago, and this was the first thing she said to me, so it must have stuck.)

“Brave New World” is a dystopia, not a utopia.

And they’ve already been researching giving people oxytocin, AKA the love hormone, to people to alter their reactions. Give it to them, and it makes you think more positively of the out-group.

This is how liberal politics has infected the social sciences. Moral = liberal, sane = liberal. And everyone else is a crazy, evil hater.

Actually, the ‘Firefly’ movie was called ‘Serenity’.

For those that didn’t watch it, the plot was that the ruling Inner Planets (the Confederation) experimented on a colony world named Miranda. They were testing a drug...unbeknownst to the population... that would make the people compliant to whatever the government told them, while allowing them to live ‘blissful’ lives. What it ended up doing was cause 80% of the population to just kind of ‘shut down’. They just ‘gave up’ right where they were and died. The other 20% had their brains triggered to make them ferocious, feral, and predisposed to raping, murdering, and even cannibalism. These ended up becoming what was known in the story as the ‘Reavers’.

Experimenting with mass distribution of mind-altering drugs to control the masses is never a good thing, and will never turn out the way you intended.

But the DemonRats do not care. As long as THEY end up in power...’Anything goes’.

Now—such is progress—the old men work, the old men copulate, the old men have no time, no leisure from pleasure, not a moment to sit down and think—or if ever by some unlucky chance such a crevice of time should yawn in the solid substance of their distractions, there is always soma, delicious soma, half a gramme for a half-holiday, a gramme for a week-end, two grammes for a trip to the gorgeous East, three for a dark eternity on the moon; returning whence they find themselves on the other side of the crevice, safe on the solid ground of daily labour and distraction, scampering from feely to feely, from girl to pneumatic girl, from Electromagnetic Golf course to…

I’ve seen the future, I can’t afford it
Tell me the truth sir, someone just bought it
Say mr. whispers! Here come the click of dice
Roulette and blackjacks - gonna build us a paradise
Larger than life and twice as ugly
If we have to live there, you’ll have to drug me

How can someone claim to be an “ethicist” — and have such a poor understanding of mortality?

Politicians lecture us on Truth,
Lawyers lecture us on ethics,
Homosexuals lecture us on morals,
Transsexuals lecture us on human biology,
Baby killers lecture us on the death penalty,
Tyrants lecture us on human rights,
Satanists lecture us on religion, and
Socialists lecture us on economics!

LOL!

Brought to you by the depopulation freaks and baby-killing nuts.

Morality pills for full ‘compliance’.

MY BODY...MY CHOICE. I will not comply.

Yep!
And this “social credit score” hype or behavior modification is nothing more than a precursor to the dreaded Mark of the Beast of Revelation.

100% right!!! The series was Firefly, and sadly only one season -— the movie was Serenity.
