Yep. They have been the big superpower.
The tech giants tend to be based in America too. So it is unavoidable that Europe would be influenced in this way.

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.

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.

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.

@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'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.

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.

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.

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 GMT

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 GMT

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.

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.

It does seem that way in regards to a class war. Sometimes fascinating to learn about what both classes think about each other.
