Entertainment.

I’ll concede to that. A piece of entertainment that’s 50% slapstick and 50% snuff film.

It's always been.

Right? What will we pivot to when politics and porn overplay their hands?

We’re at the tipping point now. So... back to Christianity?

Something that makes interzone from ‘Naked Lunch’ seem like a quaint tourist destination, I’d imagine.

Nononono! Hear me out! Don’t be disillusioned! If you think politicians speaking in a way that gets clicks or laughs isn’t savvy but sullies the office, you should run for something! Or, write an ideal politician! I have a theory, that if not for To Kill A Mockingbird, good people would have quit going to law school, because the overwhelming amount of lawyer jokes would have discouraged anyone wanting a meaningful life from pursuing law!

I’m sorry but my disillusionment in government is so severe that my idealised version of a politician is one with its head on the end of spike.

I once read politics is the game people play when they can’t find love. If true, then perhaps porn and politics are more “peas in a pod” than “strange bedfellows”

I'd debate that porn is no where near overplaying its hand. No way. When VR becomes 'good' and as cheap as an Espresso, when the metaverse kicks in n takes over life, when people start to question an 8k video, with was this shot using a potato? Oh, my God! The last 50 to 60 years of porn's been nothing. Nothing.

The next step I suppose is the consumer creating and taking control of what they consume. The step after that might be like the movie Existenz.

Something to avoid?

You can try to avoid it, but this is one self driving car that views you as a speed bump.

Shaking babies and kissing hands

Omg everyone. You got to remember, politicians - like porn stars, criminals, and saints- they’re just like us!

I don’t know, man. I seen a politician blink horizontally like a reptile once. Gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

Lol I don’t think they’re lizards but they’re definitely not 100% homo-sapien.
