Porn is terrible and should be banned, but I know that won’t happen.

What about this: you have to “opt in” to porn with your ISP? Make it so that porn sites have to have a “.prn” web address or something. That way, people that want it out of their homes so their kids can’t access it can do so easily without having to install filters that don’t work, and all the perverts get to destroy their souls as much as they want.

If you ban everything "terrible" people lose their natural instincts and stop learning to make proper decisions.

I don’t exactly follow what you’re trying to say. I think porn is terrible because it’s as destructive to the user and their loved ones as a bad drug addiction. The effects are just more subtle, but they run deep and destroy lives.

Banning stuff never really teaches any lessons. People don't learn why things are bad for them if they're just placed off limits.

Humans need to be allowed to destroy themselves if they choose. Having obedient zombies doesn't improve the human condition.

On this, we agree.

And I don't want the government to tell me what I can and can't watch, read, or listen to.

Not sure I agree. Generations of people assumed drugs were bad because they were prohibited. Wide swaths of people probably steered clear because they're rule followers and assumed they were banned for a reason.

I don't think legalizing drugs is going to improve the human condition. Of course, there are other variables, like loosening restriction on vice while our culture/society bans the concept of shame.

Different altogether, but in a way I do.

A better analogy though would have been food. Heroin is not a natural drive like sex and food.

In a country of 350m people I agree, primarily because it's unwieldy.

I do think a town of 25k deciding what is permitted/prohibited in the community is a very different concept.

Scalable tyranny.

Should put that on an NFT trading card.

I would agree with that in principal.

The more localized these types of regulations are, the more willing I would be to accept them. If small groups of people want to restrict themselves, more power to them. Just stay away from telling me what to do.

There’s nothing natural about being able to watch an endless parade of women have sex whenever you want with minimal effort. We can see more beautiful naked women having sex in a few minutes than most men who’ve ever existed could see in their entire life. It absolutely hijacks a natural instinct and corrupts it. Much like heroine hijacks your body’s natural chemistry and corrupts it.

While drugs weren't used like alcohol, they were experimented with quite a bit. Early 80s.

I think it's that, but also the idea that if you're going to avail yourself of a community or place, you abide by their collective community standards.

There's just zero way to argue against this.

You can argue it's better how it is now, or that it's actually healthy or whatever else they come up with, but you can't argue against the idea it's fundamentally changed how entire generations view/treat/are conditioned by sexuality.
