I was shocked to see you on the poster when they dropped it. Three internet-brained chronic poasters, plus Paul Bloom. They better not be taking advantage of you to lend respectability to this debate.

Culture reframes desire, but if desire were culture-made, it wouldn’t keep doing its job: reproduction. That reliability demonstrates our basic urges, leanings, and impulses have deep innate roots and suggests that for thousands of years we’ve been thinking more or less the same things. And if you want to take a different tact, lots of great writers, Roth and Updike come to mind, had all kinds of wild explorations long before porn and social!

Oh and hey folks, the chance to see Paul out of his element is yet another reason to become a paid subscriber!
