Are We What We Watch?

Comments at Steve Sailer:

* It’s amusing how 90% of mental health issues are rich girls following fads – social contagion. All the teen girls wanted to be depressed around the time of Prozac Nation. I read somewhere about a school where half the girls were experiencing ‘gender dysphoria’, and after school closure (because of the lockdown) all the symptoms disappeared.

* Stefan Molyneux, whatever he may be, has recorded a rather good video where a sugar daddy, some confused guy in his 60s, confesses about his experiences with good, sometimes even great looking & affluent girls, 18-25 years age range, who went with him to spend some time out & eventually screw for no reason at all (no gerontophilia, no real financial reasons, no nothing except emptiness of soul & boredom with life). There were perhaps 10-15 such girls; most of them rich & good-to-great looking & going to college.

These girls do it just for fun. They don’t have gerontophilic fetish. They are not nymphomaniacs. They don’t need money (at least, most of them). They just are empty & like being sluts.

Most of them were incessantly talking about finding their “Richard Gere”, referring to the position of Julia Roberts character in Pretty Woman. Those aspiring whores were, it seems, fascinated by the situation of becoming kept women by a good-looking affluent man & finding “romance” in such circumstances.

* Winona Ryder is of course the poster child for the ditzy neurotically crazed modern female. Drugs, shoplifting, wrestling with the Jewish thing while being a hot female — it’s a positive cornucopia of warped mental agony and craziness that makes it easy and convincing to act to type.

Approaching 50, and childless. Some girls need to have kids, if only to put a clamp on their mental derangement.

Rumors floated around that at one point she dated the now cancelled alt-country singer songwriter Ryan Adams, another victim of the #metoo movement, though he also has significant neurotic issues as well. Birds of a feather.

Anyway he wrote this great song, “Harder Now That It’s Over” which is supposedly about Winona, with the great line, “You’re free…free with a history.” This raw live version captures the essence nicely.

* Steve Sailer: Most pundit’s columns consist of: “Here’s a thought I had about a well-trod topic.” So the last line is pretty much the Thought, and the rest of the column is the setup for the Thought.

Some of my columns are like that, but others are like: Here’s a new database that practically nobody has thought about before. Here are some thoughts I have had looking at this new source of information, but don’t expect them to exhaust the topic. Feel free to look at the data and come up with your own ideas.

* One way I measure a movie is how long I continue thinking about it afterwards. Some movies leave absolutely no impact and I forget about them as soon as I am done watching (which sometimes is before the end). Other movies stay with me for a few days, like a sun tan. The most impactful ones leave something permanent.
