Sex and Culture

The degenerates among us should read this book:

Sex and Culture by Urwin.

>"In Sex and Culture (1934), Unwin studied 80 primitive tribes and 6 known civilizations through 5,000 years of history and found a positive correlation between the cultural achievement of a people and the sexual restraint they observe.[1] "Sex and Culture is a work of the highest importance," Aldous Huxley wrote."

I think this video can also go here. It's a classic by now:

Our civilization is lacking pudicitia, a Roman virtue, because of the rampant hedonism in our society. There are no more rituals and religion telling us how to live a good life but only emptiness after critical theory destroyed our pillars. And this is coming from an agnostic who used to fuck around a lot.

This is politics, son. There's a direct correlation, in fact.

DUMBASS

Thank you.

Sounds interesting but that's 600 pages.
Can someone say what the conclusion of the book is?
We will have to have another thread somewhen in the future.

Basically this:

ethikapolitika.org/2014/08/19/civilizations-sex/

So basically, self-restraint is an extremely necessary requirement to how successful and flourishing a civilization will be.

No duh.

So, by being monogamous we save (sexual) energy which we put into long term (civilisation) projects.
Sounds strange but I'm willing to have a read and see what his examples tell us.

Have you read it? Is there a theoretical motivation for this thesis or is it just empirical?

and yet, technology is progressing faster than ever

Our society is so backwards that I have to actually respond to what a Brazilian thinks

Not yet. Ending his demonstration of methodology about now. Still have to see the numerous examples.

Is it? or what does it achieve?

Anyway, it seems to me the technological achievement that has happened or the wealth accumulated, is hiding the decay and regression of our culture.

Meaningful technological development is not really progressing that fast, and much of what does occur is an illusion (see e.g. the current reproducibility crises in many scientific fields). Just recently there was this story for example: cacm.acm.org/news/204439-a-bug-in-fmri-software-could-invalidate-15-years-of-brain-research/fulltext

>One of the bugs identified by the researchers had been in the system for 15 years, which is why up to 40,000 papers are potentially at risk of invalidation.

I mean in 15 years not a single one of these idiots was willing and/or capable of independently auditing the code they were using. They're just monkeys pushing buttons and trying to publish as many papers as possible.

OH FUCK

You is one of the best Nobody tm videos

I do think it makes sense in so far as males in particular are seem to be highly motivated to do just about anything to get a woman to have sex with. If it is very easy, and does not require economic production, to get sex with a woman, then he would have a lot less incentive to be productive.

The loss of religion is because people are too smart for that now. If there's no hell, let's just fuck anyone, right?

How about we focus on what you posted.

The answer to my question, if we take that into consideration, is "because society will collapse and everyone will die".

There's where those values need to come from.

Restraint for the future of humanity.

It is, right? Thought it would be more famous by now around these parts.

Hence the toxicity of porn and sexual liberation. One of the greatest forces in the world is the urge to fuck. Men will build and destroy empires for that.

Shit, I love science and its advancement, but I can't deny that religion has its place in society both as a spiritual experience and regulator of sex, basically.

>this is coming from an agnostic who used to fuck around a lot.
been a while, huh?

Yeah.

>There's where those values need to come from.
So you want semething like a pragmatic ethic?
