I did not have an idealistic childhood, and I'm well aware of others who had it worse. Fundamentally, economically, emotionally, physically, mentally, you name it. I have met those who have had it worse than me in more ways than one. Did not stop my whining and complaining about my situation. To have won that cosmic lottery. Yet there are things I will say I have won. Though as I think about it it dawned in me at how many things I am more or less desensitized to. The depravity if humanity. Namely via dipping my toe in a myriad of counter culture and somewhat depraved behavior myself. Porn at an early age, countless R movies before the age of 16, 13. Saw Scarface the year it came out, same with Silkwood, Trading Places, and more with my overly permissive mother.
It had just dawned on me that a number of things that I may consume or read or watch may be a bit much for others. Thinking about how even in a society there are extremes, and some may be polar opposites. What some of the less obvious ones may be, especially within leftist circles. The notion of left superior morality syndrome has stuck with for the past few days.
For instance I feel that Carlin would be at odds with those who even share similar beliefs his free use if the English language and it's slang would be a nuclear moment socially supporting the other.

Discourse is the only means of being able to communicate with one another. Assuming one person knows things that you know is not realistic. Spam will be deleted, fallacious messages will be pointed out as such, and educating the reader is not the objective.
