Can't help but notice that so many of our brilliant wits seem to be of the homosexual male persuasion, at least over these last 150 years. I appreciate the genius, the wit, and I also feel a weird disgust response. Felt it similarly with Milo Yiannopoulos and Oscar Wilde. It is useful to see the world through an alternately-wired embodiment, even as aspects of it "creep me out", ha ha.

I judge these perspectives might especially helpful now that so much power is apparently in the hands of what some call "Globohomo".

Great essay. The second sentence quoted here, however, seems incomplete: "Knowing that it was evil, we could see ourselves renouncing this evil. And in fact, it would never happen in the first place, because no one can build a coalition of power around naked, self-conscious."

Naked, self-conscious evil?
