85. I gather then that you would not like to live in any existing society
In which porn is illegal?

As I said, I think porn to an extent acts as a form of social "safety valve".

We have to deal with humans beings as they are, not as we would wish them to be. In evolutionary terms, civilization came into existence last Tuesday at 3:14 pm. We are not adapted to civilization mentally, instead all our mental processes are geared toward living in groups of up to maybe thirty or so.

Desmond Morris called us "naked apes" and that is pretty much what we are. Morris almost certainly got some of the details wrong but on the big picture he was definitely correct.

Our entire culture is one of lies, that is probably our single biggest problem.
