A values consensus from Millennials?
#29
(07-07-2021, 04:11 PM)Eric the Green Wrote: Porn is not a good substitute for real life and real sexual experience. It's a bad influence. But is it the issue along with abortion to place at the top of a list of priorities? Is it the essence of the "wickedness" of our society? Must it be a matter for prohibition instead of zoning and education? I don't think so. The battle over culture is not as significant as the battle over
1. whether we are going to have an environment and climate that sustains us and all life,
2. whether we are going to have an economy and health care system that works for most people instead of for a wealthy few,
3. whether we allow mass murders to expand exponentially because of our ammosexual gun obsession and permissive gun laws (guns are a much more destructive hobby than porn),
4. whether we are going to allow our president to start wars at his whim,
5. whether we are going to pour our resources into military and nuclear might or into social and infrastructure needs,
6. whether we are going to have democracy, or oligarchy through voter suppression and outdated election and government structures,
7. whether systemic racism and suppression of diversity and immigration will continue, or instead we develop police reform and an end to racial and gender wealth gaps and profiling,
8. Whether we can learn a truly new-age worldview that sees humans as interdependent within an alive and whole, conscious universe with many spiritual dimensions, which helps foster a loving relationship with ourselves and all life, instead of seeing humans either as dependent on one creator authoritarian God who is separate from us and our world, demands exclusive loyalty, and gives orders through churches and politicians, or on the other hand as mechanical bodies who might as well be robots in a lifeless world available for manipulation for merely-material goals,
9. etc.

Is this an ongoing shift, or just a consensus view for one generation that will soon pass to another one, and thus not really too significant?
How will education change the issue in my generation? Only prohibition of most of it would work. It encourages perversions like cuckoldry. My generation isn't going to change unless most of it is cancelled.
