That would explain some things here. But we really need to move away from this needing to be comfortable narrative.
Because who really is comfortable in their own body? What does that even look or feel like? What if this focus is what leads to people thinking about it more and thus being more self-conscious about it?
It is bad enough that we have expectations of what being a woman or man is that isn't based in reality or biology as it is. That these are used as some gotcha for why you aren't your biological sex.

""And for them, a medical pathway is the only way they're going to live their life comfortably."
Bullshit.
What is with this obsession with being comfortable? This is what confuses me over this whole thing. That we're somehow supposed to be comfortable with our sex, gender or just how our bodies are.
Can we not learn to accept that we'll be uncomfortable with this and that is fine too? That we don't have to change ourselves to be comfortable?

Get rid of Shakespeare in the school curriculum and what do you have left of the British classics? I'm struggling to even think of what we were reading that was British, even worse for English. It was mostly American. So boring.

The education and training model doesn't help us here. It incentives foreign students rather than catering to the citizenship already here.

I don't even know what is going on with it. But I tend to think the culture is downstream of America at least. I have seen the borrowing of lecture/classroom material from America in the education system, there are a lot of American films imported, the big awards tend to be American-based, things like that.

I still like the concept of equal before the law. But we know this is not happening now because of equity.

2025-10-11 00:20:21 UTC

- reply

One wishes that were not so but I cannot ignore what has been done in the name of equality. There is a place for it but the groups that most need it are ignored. When you actually want equality, to be able to lead a normal life and fit in... well, you are not very useful in starting a revolution or at power-grabbing.

2025-10-11 00:03:54 UTC

That would be grand.
I certainly don't want people in my land that are opposed to me and my way of life. Because they will attempt to oppress or kill me.

2025-10-11 00:02:07 UTC

Yes. You have groups that will use that to their own advantage against those that believe in equality or fairness. Equality for thee but not for me.

2025-10-10 23:54:23 UTC

Yeah. Those interpreting the law are choosing to do so in this way. I think the courts are very compromised too.

2025-10-10 23:52:03 UTC

It shouldn't. A lot of it is about how you interpret it too.

2025-10-10 23:49:07 UTC

- reply

We are, just about. But we have also forgotten a lot now. We have largely been forced out of the cities and even many towns. Next is to turn the villages to towns and force us out of those with the new growing population to feed the upwards line. The economy is our god that we must give fresh sacrifices to.

2025-10-10 23:38:11 UTC

Well, I suppose the argument would go that we voted in the people that would represent on our behalf and it was them that voted on... well... more migration or at least doing nothing to stem this tide by kicking the can down the road for someone else to clear up.

I'm not sure what I would consider to be British values if we are to have them. But certainly each country within the union have their distinct flavours... or they did before we all became a bubbling hot pot of anything goes.

This is going to get me into trouble, but which people do you want more of in your land: jews or muslims?
I don't think I can answer that.

2025-10-10 23:17:43 UTC

@sun Britain is a constitutional monarchy.
I'm not sure when it was decided that British values are "democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and mutual respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs." but I think this was more of a modern invention. Perhaps even a response to the changing demographics of the UK, to assert civic nationalism in a way. That anyone can be British if they have these values.

Veiled Christ:
"Veiled Christ is a carved marble tomb effigy completed in 1753 by the Neapolitan artist Giuseppe Sanmartino. It is formed from a single block of white marble and was commissioned by Raimondo di Sangro, a prince of Sansevero, as the centrepiece of the Cappella Sansevero, in Naples, Italy.
Sanmartino produced a sculpture with the dead Jesus lying on a couch, covered by a veil which adheres perfectly to his form. The mastery of the Neapolitan sculptor lies in his successful depiction, looking through the veil, of the suffering that Jesus had undergone during the crucifixion. Signs of Jesus's pain can be seen on his face and body."

I guess I managed to dodge that one to a certain extent.
I'm reminded of someone who didn't see the issue of teaching eighth graders so that is 13 year olds about anal sex... which is apparently being anti-gay if you are against this. But do you really want 13 year olds trying to copy that when it could really hurt them? Bad enough when they are choking each other because it is a porn trend.

I don't understand drag. I'm starting to see who it appeals but I don't get the appeal. How is it cool and edgy?

2025-10-04 15:43:49 UTC

- reply

I would agree there. Also, if you can get your sexual desires met by promiscuity then there is less incentive to form enduring bonds. The sexual desires are supposed to drive you closer to the person you love, to form a lasting bond with them so that you will settle down together. Potentially raise a family if straight.

2025-10-03 22:53:28 UTC

- reply

We really didn't need to see its arse. I could never get into the sexual revolution and I have no idea why.

2025-10-03 17:18:05 UTC

- reply

Yeah. Older people are more likely to have the courage to pursue as well I think. Born through a different time where it was more sociable in person. I wonder how the young generations of now will cope with this?
I suspect they will have matured with age too and decided that they wanted to settle down with someone to love than seek the pure physical.

2025-10-03 16:47:18 UTC

- reply

Seems like that shooting was on his mind when he wrote those books.
I don't understand why the older people get with the younger ones, why they pursue them. There is less of a future and things in common there, the bigger the gap. I just think now, what are you doing?

2025-10-03 16:23:17 UTC

- reply

Yeah. That makes sense. Is it true that he killed his wife while they were drunk? That must fuck with your head.
I think the age alone is a disparity. They come from different generations. What do you do when the older person pursues you like in the case of Queer?

2025-10-03 15:53:15 UTC

I appreciate the recommendation and that you'd jog it over if we lived close. I'll see if I can get a hold of it another way later.
The film I watched was really disturbing too. Because of the whole taking drugs and what happens then. Hard to get that out of my head now. I suspect these aren't stories that translate well. He had a disturbed mind, one on drugs I suspect.

Is there a good film on Naked Lunch?
This codependent relationship is really fucked up. Older man with a young man, the young man is just with him for convenience. Not that he is gay. There is sex in it and it is pretty tense. The music really gives this vibe, it cuts out at points so you get this sense of time passing. But also that this is not a good relationship. The sex is tolerated rather than wanted.
I can understand loving cats if you are lonely. Want some companionship. Writing is a solitary thing so it doesn't lend itself well to having relationships. You need lots of hours away to stare at pages.

2025-10-03 15:35:09 UTC

- reply

I'm probably not the best one to ask because I don't know the book itself. It was a mind fuck though, I didn't quite realise what I was getting into when watching it. I think they changed the ending too? Had to make something up for it when I read up on it afterwards. It's not terrible unless you count the contents of the book anyway. It has pretty pictures. I don't think it shies away from the fucked up relationship it is based on. There are some tense moments.

That's a problem. We should be taught Plato and Aristotle because so much stems from them. How can you understand what we have right now without that foundation? Especially when it comes to philosophy and why we do things the way we do.

- reply

Who is taught Plato in schools these days?

2025-09-29 16:15:27 UTC

- reply

Could put the funding that goes to state schools per student into private ones. I don't know why parents are expected to foot the whole bill for private schools. Like there is no support to get students into private schools outside some limited scholarships. Children need an education to a certain point. Rather than sending the poor ones to the state schools, they could be sent to different private ones with that funding.

2025-09-29 16:08:16 UTC

It would probably help if it were written for the everyday man, to make it more accessible compared to academic speak. I thought the Enchiridion did a great job for this when it comes to stoicism.

2025-09-29 16:04:53 UTC

- reply

Yeah. Hiring learned professors to teach privately is the way forwards I think. That way they can teach without being restricted by the current state model which doesn't give us a love for learning. I saw a small private school which taught the classical education model, the children there knew much more than I did. It was great to see.

2025-09-29 16:00:00 UTC

That wouldn't solve that problem. We have plenty of workers now. Although too many jobs require a university degree now, at least some of them like nursing can be made into a college/vocational degree.

2025-09-29 15:52:55 UTC

- reply

I don't know how anyone lives without thinking. Although internalised thoughts have gotten me into trouble before. This is why philosophy is so important and I don't know why we don't teach this in schools at a young age. At least in high school to give students a flavour for it.

2025-09-29 15:49:40 UTC

I'm glad to hear that you had a great education background. I sometimes wonder if it is too late to gain one. It's harder when you get older because you have to unlearn old habits and figure it out on your own.

2025-09-29 15:43:05 UTC

- reply

We need to go back to the classical education model. That builds up confidence in public speaking and debates and learning. How to handle disagreements without losing ones temper or having to cancel/shut down others.

2025-09-29 15:40:14 UTC

- reply

Thanks. I am glad that I managed to survive through it too. That it didn't cost me my desire to learn. I wanted to learn. But school just didn't teach me much. The internet taught me more. I'm sure that I can use my time better there too.

2025-09-29 14:49:31 UTC

- reply

That does seem to be the case.
Rather than being able to figure out what I wanted to do in life, my youth ended up being crippling depression. I think that being at school and on the internet contributed to this most. But it is hard to pinpoint how and why.

2025-09-29 14:43:53 UTC

- reply

Yeah. It is a shame that I was never given the foundations of education and knowledge in order to help me realise what I wanted to do at a young age. With better teaching, I'm sure that I could have done better. Had a reason to apply myself. But it is hard as a child when the other children around you don't care.

2025-09-29 14:38:31 UTC

Yes. It amazes me that some of the smartest minds of the past had self-study or studied under a tutor at their place. I think that this happened with C.S. Lewis at some point. He had a mixture growing up.

Do you mean how to draw a prayer mat or something? They didn't teach religion properly here. Wouldn't want the plebs to know the written word of any faith. Need religious leaders to interpret it for us. Use the threat of isolation or damnation to get people to do what you want.
