Do you remember 1978?

[ANNEE]

So kids born up till 2000 about was probably being born and raised under the "old guard" still. Culture wouldn't have dropped of overnight

2006: Tarana Burke, a survivor of sexual violence, started the Me Too movement to provide support, resources, and healing for young women of color in low-wealth communities

2017: The movement went viral as a hashtag, #MeToo, after actress Alyssa Milano encouraged people to use it following allegations of sexual misconduct against Harvey Weinstein

dates seem to fit. very interesting

I’m just a year shy of 80. 

So, I’ve experienced “a bunch of movements” in real time. 

It still blows my mind that I was a senior in high school when the Civil Rights Act was signed.

Also let's not forget the inimitable Robert Heinlein:

this is hilarious

 they broadened the refreshments at political doings from a simple diet of beer and pigs knuckles to a point where the menu now includes ice cream and cake, little fancy sandwiches, coffee, and wine cooler. The change in refreshments is a distinct improvement; I don't like pigs knuckles.

That would explain the aura and take it as a complement. It will take another 50 years, we are still fighting the race battles also. Countries that has not started to double their economic power are just fucked at this point.

Thanks. 

I was actually raised in metaphysical thinking — way back in the 50’s — before it became a thing. Have always walked my own path.

Women not supporting other women — especially those of fundamental religious belief — still holds women back.

I think about this lecture often and try and imagine what the time was like for Isaac Asimov to say these things. 1978 isn't that long ago

Here Isaac Asimov is speaking about educating woman and not treating them like baby factories

Perfect timing. The worldwide human population has doubled since then.
Gasoline was about $.78 a gallon. Tap beer was $.34 a glass.

About discovery of bacterial causes of disease as apposed to "demonic" causes:

Beyond that there is the question of gestational and natal malfunction which results in miscarriage and still births. That's where Lilith comes in. From Sumerian times that was envious demons who hadn't enjoyed the experience of being fruitful so they deprived others of it.

As Asimov said, When the birthrate exceeds the death rate population increases, and when death rate exceeds birthrate population decreases. So the demythologized* Lilith as archetype offers a choice.

Personally, I think 1978 had a more sustainable population than what we have now.

Perhaps natalism vs anti-natalism should be viewed as a continuum rather than a binary choice.

*by which I mean something more like stripped of superstition

How about 2025?

When the Left believes its ok to have biological men compete in women's sports.

As a woman, you should be ashamed of shitting on women's rights.

Surely there is a middle ground, depends on the contest. The problem is folk taking the new thing and running of the cliff with it and payback.  The payback and nastiness is easy to explain by the fact that people abused in the right tends to go left because of the apostasy and rejection of authority that goes with trauma. Easy to be radicalized from there. The same movement doesn't go the other way. Who is to blame for this, why do they flee?

Lilith must finish the oracle but she is pretending not to read now.

Back in 1978 the Southern Region of the US wasn't an interstate commerce nightmare on the main highways and you could actually enjoy nature, peace and Kenny Rogers on the radio.

Oh sure, I was only four, but I remember when Texas highways were mostly Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes instead of major retailors, bland subdivisions and fast food joints.

I remember the article I read in 1978 in the science section of the Detroit News newspaper. It was summer, and my friend walked over to my place and showed me an article entitled "Killer Cell" about a biological weapon developed by our military that attacked human T-cells. It was a virus that would disable the immune system, allowing other common diseases to kill the enemy. It was a few years later that they had that global moratorium on biological weapons production, so it's a good thing that research ended long ago.

What made me think about this today? Luna. Every time she starts talking I think "holy shit, clever" and I wonder what environment she grew up in.

The comment on the Joe Rogan podcast was all around how pretty she is. On Danny's podcast she seems to be attacked in the comments. Something is suspect here.
