How the dating food chain works. Winners and losers.
It's an interesting vid from a different perspective than the normal one. Essentially, it's saying that women are working against their best interests by offering up casual sex. And their best interest is in securing a man in an LTR. From a women's perspective, it is hard to argue with this. Further, I wonder if it is also in the interests of humanity.
Here's the thing though. This rational approach - one that looks for a
universal and practical morality.. even if just based on economic/ self-interest principles - is fast being lost. Today, people are increasingly thinking in terms of class, sex, power; they identify with a group that is a subset of the whole. The logic is 'post-modern' in so far as it can not even intelligibly relate to the old 'modern' ideal of a universal culture. Now all we have are culture wars.

The Art of Drinking
Whiskey is both significant and superfluous
Like art it has no point beyond its purpose
An end in itself perfect and complete
No rocks no water no soda just itself neat
It’s made for a lazy day and leisurely disposition
Which paints in hues the old liberal tradition
Contrary to its content is the importance of form
Which is wont to observe strict rhythmic rules
Inversely proportioned to our right to play fools
Though its field of freedom is not of the politic kind
All forms of seriousness it politely declines
Changing colors it's stranger to party and cause
All anxieties it mocks or subverts or just ignores
And in wealthier times when all work for the general good
We slink off to find its leisure a pleasure misunderstood
And in decadent days when ideologies eat up culture
When opposed parties pick at each-other like vultures
There's the symbol of everything civil the drawing room
Where we retire to whiskey and write our doom.
