@tardwife4life A. Live a long life with untampered meals, medication, proper bathing, exercise, and some minor groping from Connor.
B. 6 months tops of your meal eaten if front of you, pill interactions, bedsores, and your arm broke by Shaniqua.
@moultano Having a relatively stable life with internet anonymity is holding back millions of us. Dwarkesh doesn't want to find out what happens when enough of us have nothing left to lose.
Many men of my generation did not leave Christianity because they studied themselves out of it. They left because the version of Christianity handed to them was too small to command their lives.
It was sentimental, embarrassed, therapeutic, worldly, and weak. It asked nothing great of them. It gave them no banner to fight under, no fathers to imitate, no civilization to inherit, no enemies to name, no duties to shoulder, and no King to obey in public.
The church had Christ on the sign, but the world in the pulpit. It spoke in Christian vocabulary while repeating the same moral assumptions that came from the television, the university, the HR department, the algorithm, and the regime.
I laugh at feminists who actually think the handmaids tale is some living dystopia.
It is the complete opposite.
Let's imagine an alternate dystopia: women are fed hormone altering pills from teenage years to make them infertile through their prime fertility years, whilst they work to deliver profits for mostly male elite bosses. And if they accidentally get pregnant, the baby is killed so they can continue to generate profit.
It's a good plot. It is just real life. Not a work of fiction
