Is this why some of you have personas? Should I have one? I've always just carpet bombed notables and sat back and watched. Only recently have I started to do more than lurk outside of dropping research.
A while ago I had a discussion with some friends about homosexuality and morality. Eventually I made the comment:
Well it doesn’t directly affect you. If you didn’t know it was happening, what negative effect would it have on your life?
To this they responded something to the effect that homosexuality “degrades” the values of society and has been part of the downfall and collapse of empires and nations. It was just so obvious, they claimed, simply look at Sodom and Gomorrah or the Greek and Roman Empires!
I didn’t quite know what to say about all of this then. Frankly it was more shock than anything. But after going home I knew I could easily look into this empirical claim. They made a confident assertion about the causal relationship between social phenomena.
I decided to look it up.
