Thank you for your podcasts and essays. Denial and projection are indeed rampant; prostitution and porn abound; capitalism and patriarchy of course matter. But by the persistence of these dynamics, societal dysfunction has gone parabolic. The Eugenics people found the Satanists; the Zionists outblackmailed the CIA; and we still can't seem to get our minds around the global child sex abuse slavery network whose evil seems to pervade the entirety of global leadership. The usury pyramid scheme of bullshit money forces all of us to participate while we hang on hoping for some fleeting opportunity to grab at some lever of power, or else escape to somewhere we can think clearly enough to formulate some plan of regaining a shred of personal agency.

Meanwhile a genocide proceeds and those brave enough to stand up to it are being disappeared. Proof that the world is completely cucked by Israel is not hard to find, as it is fairly obvious that Netanyahu and company let 10/7 happen on purpose, is it not? Does this not make them complicit, and invalidate the entire fig leaf of self-defense under which 18 months of slaughter has proceeded? Are we all too distracted to follow this basic moral argument, or is reason passe now? What am I missing?

Excellent, wide ranging discussions! Thank you everyone. Your guest Kajsa was terrific. Her work I'm not yet familiar with but her thoughts on both prostitution, trans identity politics and surrogacy were really solid. John, you may remember the big scandal/circus surrounding "Baby M"(born of a surrogate) in the mid 1980's? The birth mother had a change of mind. Now what? Who's the real mother? Barbara Katz Rothman's work was very much in line with Kajsa's arguments today. She was on TV a lot then, challenging myriad, problematic developments/technologies in reproduction, childbirth and mothering. A great thinker and writer. Check her out if you're interested in looking into this further.
