The current tactic and ideology of the mainstream is for them to be able to control the populace. In order to do that, they need them to be dumb and occupied. The way to do that is to have them follow their more basic urges and become essentially like animals.

This can be done by allowing emotions to takeover and suppressing the will. Sex (lust) is one part of it but also gluttony and sloth. Greed and envy also play a part but to a lesser extent. Their scientist argue that it is more natural to give into your basal desires instead of suppressing them. However, that is actually the furthest thing from the truth. What makes humans different from animals is we can act counter to our lower nature. Denying oneself is a form of training the higher cognitive function of the will. Always giving in neglects our higher nature (our will) and makes us closer to animals.

Studies have been done on young children showing that those children that can delay gratifications are far more likely to be well adjusted and successful in life than the ones that cannot. These studies involved something along the lines of sitting a child down, putting a candy bar out, and telling them that if they refrain from taking the candy bar for 5 minutes, they will get a second candy bar. This tests the extend to which a child's capacity for self control has developed.

If you remove the will completely, you basically get an addict who neither can or wants to control themselves. Extreme examples of addicts don't even seem human anymore, although they still are, just very compromised. It is possible to rehabilitate them, but it is a very painful process. No surprise then that those in charge helped to create the opioid crisis. Because the more people's lives are destroyed and the more people are compromised, the easier of a time they have to gain and maintain control over those people. It's no coincidence that they couldn't get the middle class addicted to regular drugs, so they found another way.

To summarize, as a person you have essentially 2 options:

1. You do what they want. Allow your lower nature (emotions) to rule you. You become a slave to your lower nature. Any perception of freedom at this point is an illusion.

2. You do what all of modern western history is based on. It was formally adopted and document as far back as the ancient Greeks but dates to the very start of humanity. You use your higher nature (will) to rule over your lower nature (emotions). Only then can you be a truly free person.

Note: The lower human nature is not necessarily bad when put in its proper place and context. However, when it is allowed to run amok, it becomes bad. For example, hunger lets you know you need to eat. If you don't eat at all, you will die. However, eating too much is also bad for you and disrespectful to those who don't have enough to eat. Self control (will) is important in regulating hunger to ensure you eat the right things, at the right times, in the right quantities.

Such a lucky duck, I'm in gen Z and the only ladies who I get to talk to 1. are actually men trying to talk to me and 2. Witches or pagans. It's kinda my fault tho cause I got a "Cyberpunk aesthetic" and they fail to realize I'm a God fearing patriot

Now that's what I call good people. God bless you both.

I have always thought that if 'who you screw' is what you lead with in every single interaction with other human beings you are clearly mentally deranged.
