When i was in a drama group, they went, with me along, to a pub after rehearsals. Unfortunately the place was full of football fans, and the noise was excruciating. Unable to tell anyone it was making me ill (speech being impossible), i had to write a note saying “I don’t feel well” to the young man sitting next to me, who kindly gave me a lift home.
Christina of Sweden echoes my view:
“Better a life alone than ten minutes with you.”
This is what i want to say to small-talkers, football obsessives and “lads.”
(…And also to the aforementioned counsellor).
I would personally rather stand through a 24 hour church service in Greek than sit in a room with “lads” watching football!
Isn’t the word “nerd” applied to anyone who is interested in anything other than pop culture and sport?
So, in order to avoid being called a nerd, one must limit oneself to pop culture and sports and not associate with anyone whose mind aspires to more than that.“Incel” is what the internet misogynists call themselves, isn’t it?
But it doesn’t follow, does it, that most involuntary celibate men (or women) are to be despised, or that most are misogynists or misanthropes who harm people?Similarly, should marriage and family automatically be seen as a virtue?
And i thought your whole point was that the “nerds” are the incels?
One doesn’t hear of the athletic being incels.
As a victim of bullying, i do not blame myself at all, and yet i believe bullies are drawn to me. I’ve even experienced bully jealousy, whereby “my” bully would jealously come to my defence against another bully attempting to victimize me. In other words, wanting “exclusive rights” on me.
A woman came to work every day with swollen eyes and bruises, admitting her boyfriend beat her, but said she loved him and would never leave him.
As to the Milgram “experiment” it was also performed, using REAL electric shocks on monkeys by monkeys. After ONCE witnessing what the lever did to their fellows, the monkeys refused to repeat it, regardless of inducements.
Human Nature pseudoscientists have tried to prove inherent evil by electrocuting baboons so that, crazed with pain, they turn on one another.
There are several events showing mutual aid and co-operation on islands, not least of which is the socialistic pirate colony on Madagascar, whose members attacked slave-traders, liberated the slaves and welcomed them to their community.
Even lives viciously blighted and scarred by violence and oppression were capable of mutual aid and genuine cohesion.Re: veneer theory, Reich critiqued that with his triune theory:
1) Natural curiosity and joy of the child, which is
2) suffocated and stifled by existing society, leading to hatred and futile belligerence, which is then
3) covered with a polite veneer in order to get by in life.This puts the blame on existing society and not on nature.
So flies themselves disprove Golding!
In fact, all animals do.https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/compelling-case-why-flies-are-fabulous.html
And more examples.
