01) Those Godless Millennials (TTA Podcast 345)

---

“The Millennial Generation is increasingly unaffiliated with religion. It’s also a generation often described as entitled, coddled, disinterested, and lazy. We explore the label and the people beyond it.

Time Magazine – “The Me Me Me Generation”: http://time.com/247/millennials-the-me-me-me-generation

USA Today – “The Malignant Myth of the Millennial”: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2017/05/11/millennial-myth/100982920“

I never really saw “millennial” as being an insult, in itself. I know it carries baggage of it’s own…but, if you think “generation x” didn’t have baggage…I’ve got news for you…It certainly did…just a different style of baggage.

I think…my own interpretation on “problems with millennials”, has more to do with problems cropping up from “internet culture”, than anything else.

People flock together…they identify “the other”…and they can become vicious, rabid mobs…and their own bias and bigotry, is efficiently enabled on a level, that has never before existed to humans.

Having “facts” at your fingertips doesn’t make you wise, or experienced…It does not grow you, as an individual.

…Having 90% of your personal human interaction over your cell phone, is very socially stunting…And people lose that valuable face to face experience…where they can understand the ramifications of their treatment of others.

…That’s one of the things I’ve definitely found foul and vulgar, in the millennial generation…It’s like their sense of self entitlement to dehumanize people, has been amplified off the charts.

It’s like so many of them don’t know how to behave, towards someone with a life experience and worldview, radically different from their own.

As it is…most of my personal interaction with millennials the past few years, has been occurring as I sometimes intermingle with younger MAPs…It’s leaned way more towards the positive, than the negative…I love what I’ve seen a few of them doing.

One aside, however…

Being a free thinking individualist…I don’t like seeing the pack mentality…There’s way too much thinking like “the Borg” going on, in this world…I’ve experienced enough of that sort of thing, to fill twenty lifetimes…So, I’m very cold on the trend of everyone trumpeting their “anti contact” mantra…

…especially when there is absolutely nothing unethical, about being pro contact.

I am pro contact…and I would put my level of ethics and behavior up against any anti contact person [MAP or otherwise], anytime, anywhere…I’d put my ethics and behavior up against the entire lot of them…And I have no fear over walking away from such an encounter, with my own integrity and dignity intact.

Forgive the awkward aside…I didn’t want to turn this into a comment on other MAPs…I just really dislike group think, echo chambers, and social structures where everybody has to tow the line…

…And the “anti contact” branch, is internalizing and promoting a grossly false paradigm within it.

“James Cantor Openly Advocates Eugenics”?…

01) James Cantor Openly Advocates Eugenics

02) The young paedophiles who say they don’t abuse children

“It was long thought that paedophiles had typically been abused or had a traumatic event in their own childhoods.

But Canadian clinical psychologist James Cantor argues that paedophilia is down to “cross-wiring” in the brain.

He looked at MRI scans of paedophiles and found that they had less white matter, which links parts of the brain together.

Cantor thinks the key is how the brain is formed in the early stages of pregnancy.

“The dream is to prevent it before the paedophile is even born.”

kabouter has it absolutely correct.

…Being a BoyLover, is a gift of the highest, most beautiful kind.

…To eliminate the gift of love…

…Now, that is something only a true monster would do.

Keep your cheap trickeries, James…I’m not buying any of them.

…The BoyLover’s brain is the best brain, in my book.

…And the “cross wiring” isn’t a deficit…it’s an enhancement.

Get it straight.

Understanding and preventing adolescent pedophilia…

01) Understanding and preventing adolescent pedophilia

---

“Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health Professor Elizabeth Letourneau has devoted her life’s work to changing how people view child sexual abuse. In her 2016 TEDMED Talk, Elizabeth explains how initiatives that target juvenile sex offenders can play an important role in preventing future offenses.”

She sounds like an opportunistic hack, to me.

This is just more of the same old “you’re dangerous” paradigm.

“Child sexual abuse” and adolescent pedophilia, are not the same thing.

…And the title of that video, is absolutely horrifying…

…”Preventing”?…

Leave the pedophiles alone!

We don’t need your imposed holocaust.

We need a support structure…But we don’t need, what people like this woman has to offer.

To the extent that it intersects with pedophiles…true child sexual abuse can be addressed and combated, within the pedophile subculture, itself.

Most of it likely comes from a lack of guidance, in the first place.

The fact that it is so dangerous for “pedophiles” to find each other, associate, interact and build meaningful bonds, is at the root of what leaves these young pedophiles adrift, in the first place.

Combine this with the idiotic belief that “pedophiles want sexual anarchy”, and you’ve robbed true pedophiles of their ability to establish and maintain sexual order, within their own spheres of influence.

Young pedophiles don’t need outsiders, lacking a first hand understanding [and experience] of being a “pedophile”, trying to act like their handlers.

…They need established, respectable pedophiles to look up too, and take guidance from.

IT’s Teen Orgy…

….	Date: September 13, 2017 01) IT’s Teen Orgy Full Video – Stephen King’s IT Best Book Scenes Not in the Movie: ” A review of Stephen King’s IT 2017 Movie. A discussion of the best scenes from the IT Book that were not in the movie. Explain what IT is.” One of my favorite parts of the book. I read “IT” as an early twenty something. It’s been so many years since I read the book, that I don’t remember all the names of the characters…But I remember that part…It’s something you would only likely experience in a book…or in an exceedingly rare movie… …Apparently, “IT 2017” is not such a movie. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one, who agrees on the importance of that part.	….

“Despite the unprecedented pace of scientific breakthroughs, humanity still seems to be as far away from the age of reason as ever. With religious extremism and political infantilism spreading across the globe, often aiding one another, has governance based on critical thinking already become a delusion? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Richard Dawkins, evolutionary biologist.

The interview was held at the St. Petersburg Geek Picnic 2017”

Ted Cruz Shares Porn, Blames Staff…

01) Ted Cruz Shares Porn, Blames Staff

---

“Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.) woke up Tuesday to find his name trending on Twitter — linked overnight to a certain video from the “Milf Hunter” series, perhaps unfairly, perhaps irrevocably.

The clip itself is just over two minutes, details of its contents mostly unprintable. It features a sectional sofa, the pornographic actress Cory Chase, her fictitious nude stepdaughter, and a very energetic young man.

Cruz, of course, is nowhere to be seen in the footage, which has been floating around the Internet for more than a year. But around midnight Eastern time, someone signed into the senator’s official Twitter account and clicked a little heart below the video — and thus did @tedcruz “like” porn.”

As the solicitor general for the state of Texas in 2004, Mother Jones reported, Cruz’s legal team tried to defend a law banning the sale of sex toys. His office drafted a 76-page brief that argued that the government had an interest in discouraging “autonomous sex,” Mother Jones wrote — and “there is no substantive-due-process right to stimulate one’s genitals for nonmedical purposes unrelated to procreation or outside of an interpersonal relationship.”

Some recalled the case years later, when Cruz ran unsuccessfully for president in the Republican Primary in 2016. One was his freshman-year college roommate”

Did Ted want to pass laws against masturbation?

Struggling with Grace and Issues of Self Dignity, In the Face of Their Lexicon…

….	Date: September 11, 2017 “Being a paedophile is a recognised mental health disorder. It’s something they don’t choose to have" – Prof Derek Perkins #VictoriaLIVE pic.twitter.com/kMB5MDN3Em — Victoria Derbyshire (@VictoriaLIVE) September 11, 2017 “Being a paedophile is a recognised mental health disorder. It’s something they don’t choose to have – Prof Derek Perkins” You know…I realize that not everybody is our enemy, even when they fundamentally disagree with us…and being too picky about your allies, will leave you without any… …I also realize that many people like Professor Perkins likely have noble intentions, and the words they use to describe us MAPs, are indicative of how they are trying to make sense of us…and make sense of how things are for us, in this kind of a hostile world… …Many things they say, may be conditionally true…mixed in with objectively true things… …I honestly appreciate, people who attempt to alleviate human suffering, including that amongst MAPs… …Which is why it’s such a personally hard thing, taking issue with people like Derek, when they claim we are mentally ill…Or when they talk about us in this manner, as if “you better get help to manage this, otherwise you are an imminent threat to others”… This is fundamentally dehumanizing…I’d go so far as to call it inhumane brainwashing… …It’s saddling someone with a prime foundation for mental illness, to impose these terrible ideological notions upon them, all of their lives. Being a MAP has nothing especially to do with being a predator. There are plenty of MAPs who are not predators…Just exactly the same, as there are plenty of androphiles, gynephiles and hebephiles who are not predators. Sexual orientation is not the same thing, as an inherent tendency towards sexual predation. …And that is such a basic point of fact…Why are we still even arguing about this, in society? I have to believe that most people have the capacity, to mentally grasp this point. I want to see the good, in people like Professor Perkins… …But a large part of me is left, shaking my head “no”, with my eyes closed, in utter frustration with all of this…Because even when it comes to academia…”this is as good as it gets?”… This is not good enough, at all… …We were putting ourselves on the line, decades ago…in hopes of guiding society out of the dark ages…We are still just as deeply imprisoned in those dark ages…And even the more theoretically helpful allies still behave like stubborn mules. This destructive paradigm about predatory MAPs, is so “1980’s sex panic”… …Are we ever going to get past that stupidity, and arrive at a sane discussion about the objective facts? As someone who’s spent roughly half of their life, deeply engaged in MAP issues…It’s extremely frustrating watching where things are going, after all this time. No…This movement does not belong to me…But I tell you what…I’ve known too many good people, who were MAPs…who fought to make this world a better place…and who suffered dearly for it…Some of them have died, along the way…Even some giants amongst us, ended up broken and disheartened at their end… …It really shakes me to the core and makes me want to vomit, when I recognize the road of compliance and submission, that they’re trying to lead MAPs down, today…And they’re trying to herd a new generation of MAPs, into this… We’ve not spent all these years, trying to build a foundation and network…just to watch it get hijacked by people who want to lord over MAPs, and other alleged “sexual deviants”. This is one of the worst perversions of a movement, I have ever seen. The fundamental MAP movement, is about human dignity and a right to exist on equal footing with anybody else… …It’s not about seeking out handlers to manage you. Note: Incase this was unclear…I fully support anyone with mental health issues, being able to seek safe help in dealing with them. What I condemn, is the equation of being a MAP with mental illness. Not even the DSM 5 recognizes the mere orientation, as being a mental illness [aka disorder] in itself. There has to be other accompanying circumstances, before a MAP can be recognized as mentally ill. Many MAPs are mentally healthy… …And a lot more could be, if society would stop messing with them.	….
