Leopards Ate My Face! The Official Thread.

So a transmedicalist, but not to the extreme of "you have to have had bottom surgery"?

All signs point to yes.

I remember being in high school and reading quotations of hatred by Southerners during desegregation and thinking what was it like to be a "normal" person back in the day watching that happen in real time. Would it have been appalling, or would the mindset that produced that kind of person imply a wider culture where that kind of thing was acceptable? Same with reading in college about Hilter's formal speeches before the Reichstag, where he said Jews and Liberals were subhumans poisoning the blood.

Because I was just as cuddly back then, I inferred the spirit of the age made that rhetoric ordinary. The change in mores is what makes it horrifying now.

It didn't occur to me that the spirit of the age isn't real. Every period has a smattering of humans, a smattering of vicious dogs, and a majority of lethargic and disengaged potted plants. Exactly like now. SSDD.

I am prepared to believe we haven't evolved in our ethics an inch. We are the ape men with clubs in the "Dawn of Man" scene.
