usually when people go to uni before 18 they end up being strippers, flashers, or something else seedy and genital-related. that wont happen to you of course. you'll just end up working in the financial services industry, which is far, far worse

top three bullshit "disorders" in the DSM-5:
  • hypoactive sexual desire disorder (the asexual equivalent of ego-dystonic sexual orientation)
  • schizoid personality disorder (pathologization of "prefers to be alone")
  • enmeshment (loving your family TOO MUCH)

The annals of official philosophy are populated by ‘bureaucrats of pure reason’ who speak in ‘the shadow of the despot’ and are in historical complicity with the State. They invent ‘a properly spiritual…absolute State that… effectively functions in the mind.’ Theirs is a discourse of sovereign judgment, of stable subjectivity legislated by ‘good’ sense, of rocklike identity, ‘universal’ truth, and (white male) justice. ‘Thus the exercise of their thought is in conformity with the aims of the real State, with the dominant significations, and with the requirements of the established order

So many young men died in labor before giving birth to their babies that men just decided, no, we're not doing it anymore, and gave women the equipment to have babies instead. and that's how we get the modern human race

physicist, chemist, and economist stranded on desert island. unlabeled tin can washes up on shore.

physicist: we should bash open the can with the nearest rock

chemist: we should build a fire and heat the can to cook its contents and make the metal easier to open

economist: let's assume we have a can opener
