Date: July 10, 2018 This selection from “In Self Defense: The Life and Times of An Atheist BoyLover…Memoirs and Ethos”, has been narrated by Rocco White. Please enjoy the listen, or read along if you like…or need to. * It is fair enough to say that I, Steve Diamond, might be wrong about any number of issues I’ve explored, or conclusions I’ve arrived at… …I am fully open to being corrected, and changing my own outlook… Where frustrated people who declare that “I am wrong” fail…is in their presumption that the science is settled, especially as relates to intergenerational sexual relationships, and issues involving MAPs… …This is the big lie, that so many of them tell themselves and each other… The science has not even truly been allowed to begin…despite long running, good faith efforts to begin this process… While decades later…we are finally starting to see a small break away, from the fanatical interference this field of research has been marred down in…it’s still not honestly at a place where it should be… The consistent denial by fanatics, in allowing MAPs [and intergenerational relationships] to be scrupulously researched, like any other topic would be…has led me to a few fundamental stances on how I approach MAP issues…First, that I fully reject “social wisdom” on these issues, as being authoritative or valid…Second, that all things under reported or ignored, must be emphasized, in order to counterbalance the gross bias of those spreading distorted information…and Third, that institutions and social structures which refuse to represent people and issues accurately, must be changed or abolished so that we may stop them from harming people and society. I fundamentally reject the system, that fundamentally rejects me…the system that refuses to deal with MAPs, on an honest and humane level. Such a system, is purveyor of lies and human devastation… …As a human being of conscience, and high ethical standards…this is completely unacceptable to me. So…could I be wrong about some things?…of course I could be… …But I am not going to roll over, and capitulate, when we don’t even have a clear view on where things honestly stand in the real world [as opposed to the insides of paranoid minds], because the morally outraged constantly want to stand in the way as a barrier. Most of my life…I’ve spent it standing up for the disenfranchised, and the social outcasts…probably because I am one, and I know how dirty the establishment is towards us…but just as relevant, because society needs to learn and understand how it also degrades and injures itself, by treating the least powerful and most vulnerable amongst it, so atrocious and inhumane. If I am wrong about anything…If I even could be wrong, about everything… …Then allow the process of science [empirical research] free travel…Allow the clearer picture to be witnessed and understood, by the masses… …The numbers will fall where they will fall… …And then, we can have the conversations, on where I may have been wrong…or where I may have been right… If the morally outraged are so certain in their own conclusions…then what do they have to fear in this honest proposition?… …unless they are bluffing… …unless they don’t believe, that the scientific findings, will support their desired conclusions… Get the corruption out of empirical research…Only then, will I allow myself to be lectured on the ways I may be wrong…provided that the statistics support it. Until that day arrives…not a single human being on this planet, has the standing to judge me “wrong”, for my honest exploration on human sexuality…nor on my related conclusions.
