1. Body count is just a number
2. If men can do it, women can do it too.
3. I just like my freedom.
4. Sex doesn't really mean anything to me.
5. I don't regret anything, I learn from every single experience.
6. I mean everyone has a past.
7. I was just having a phase.
8. I don't get attached easily.

You sleep with men then. That's hardly surprising. That micropenis won't be much use though. Your arsehole must look like a hoola hoop by now.

Instead of personally attacking other people, why don't you try to respond to Olivia's take on the matter? You sound too much like Netanyahu. That is why he has to deal with Iranian "micro-missiles" now. Do I have to deal with them? No, because I don't attack other people for no good reason.

So what are your thoughts on promiscuity in men?

Olivia talks about that in the section about "2. If men can do it, women can do it too."

I'm not asking for her thoughts, I asked you what your thoughts are on male promiscuity.

You will have to be more specific, because at first glance, I don't have particularly much to add to what Olivia said in the video.

So you agree that it is fine for men to sleep around but not for women? And this is based on "biological facts", I take it? If so, then how convenient. Another one of your "deductive" arguments no doubt.

There is no deduction possible about the physical universe or human behavior in it. Deduction from what exactly?

All of it is induction. We observe particular stubborn patterns and in the case of human behavior, which is obviously not testable, we get observational studies. Olivia does indeed point out that the double standard is grounded in biology. But then again, she does not elaborate particularly much on the matter. There are other sources that do.

You seem to be ideologically invested in other views.

Yes. You can find "other sources" that say that people with more melanin than others are "naturally" intellectually "inferior" to people without. Everyone has a rationale for their beliefs. Sometimes you need to use your own thinking capacity to sort through the stuff. You're not a digital computer that just follows a program. You can think on your own with respect to ethics and morality. Ethics and morality are also not necessarily always constrained by physical characteristics. For example: if a stronger person can beat up a weaker person and win, it does not necessarily mean that the stronger person ought to do it or not exercise restraint. Right?

I don't think that Olivia meant to say that women would be intellectually "inferior" to men.

Morality is deductive from a particular deductive foundation, such as religious scriptures. Deduction can sometimes become complicated.

Olivia's take was entirely inductive based on observation and observational studies. She did not make any reference to any system of morality in her video.

The main reason why men reject women with a promiscuous past, is because they don't want to find themselves ensnared in potentially costly entanglements, legal and other ones. The overwhelmingly vast majority of western women are now considered promiscuous. This means that relationships in the West are effectively a thing of the past. It takes two to tango and one of both does not want to.

Who is Olivia Alexa and why would anyone give her opinions a second thought?

If who says it, matters, then what he/she says, cannot possibly matter. The justification for truth is never the person saying it. Otherwise, you open yourself up to manipulation. So, it should fundamentally not matter whether Olivia says it, or someone else.

That would be correct in matters that are not opinion. Or in matters where an independent Gold Standard exists. In matters of opinion, most value a "learned opinion", thus the credentials required to be labeled as such are important.

Again, who is Olivia Alexa?

Well, "most" are being manipulated into believing things like "learned opinion" or credentials.

The average person has no money, even though he believes that knows everything about making money, but he clearly doesn't. If he did, he would be able to show it, but he can't. The average person has no real knowledge, because he believes that these "learned opinions" are of any value, while they aren't. So, that explains why the average person is poor and stupid. The average person is just like a teenage girl. "Why are you wearing these clothes? Because all my friends are wearing them too."

If you behave or think like the average person in a rapidly failing society, then you are going off the cliff with them, and into the abyss. The beliefs of the average person are increasingly false. If they weren't, their society would not be collapsing around them, but it is. All institutions are deeply corrupt now: the school system, their credentials, "learned opinions", the mainstream media, and so on.

The more western civilization crashes and burns, the more my take on the matter is being vindicated. The reason why I have done so well over the last decade, is exactly because I disbelieve "learned opinion" and credentials. Instead of believing these things, I look for ways to short them, and to benefit from the losses. So, the more things burn to the ground in the West, the more money I make. The only way to do well as an individual, is to disbelieve what the average person believes, and to seek to benefit from their losses by shorting them.
