Explaining American Men's 'Electile' Dysfunction In 1 Serious Chart

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Did we just cross "the tipping point" for faith in the American dream?

 

(US Labor Force Participation for Males vs "Trump" news story count)

Having fallen consistently from almost 90% particpation in the labor force in 1948 to just 68.5% in 2015, it appears that crossing below the 70% participation rate has pushed American men to their limit of faith in career politicians.

Perhaps Trump should start handing out Viagra samples and pics of Hitlery at his events.  That would be fucked up epic.

Actually quite possibly the worst. This wild popular support is dangerous because the population will let him get away with fucking ANYTHING and even make excuses for him. He's the oligarchy's wet dream.

Yes. It makes zero difference but with Trump we may go down in a more entertaining and unpredictable way. If it's Hillary I may have to stay drunk for 8 years like I did for W.

He's not interested in "getting away with anything".

He's interested in stopping and reversing the flow of illegals into the US, stopping the flow of mahommedans into the US, reversing trade arrangements so the US actually makes more of what it consumes and recreating the better jobs that requires, seeing that vets are properly cared for.

If any of that concerns you then it speaks volumes about yourself.

Every single female seems to be getting employed now in the county I live in. Females grace the front page of the liberal rag every day. Females in all the billboards. On teevee, its all about the womens. Everyone is soft and safe and happy and retiring and proud of the lives they have led.

Everything is rosy in baby boomers lives.

Most of them are totally absolutely incompetent.

They are training lots of female cops and sheriff deputies as well.

I can remember when 95% of the deputies were white males.
The police department is totally run by ruthless women. Some are married and have PDA's at work.

Lots of women now run the state agencies.

Especially fat black females. They waddle to work to sit and do nothing all day and then waddle back home to their expensive houses and no children.

Women have sold out the countries future with their misuse and abuse of power, and corruption that knows no bounds.

I though men could fuck up the nation. I was wrong.

Giving women the right to vote was a mistake and obviously catered to the lowest common denominator.

All planned by the jewish red shields.

Fucking cunts.

Most of the black men are in jail or prison.

I don't think you feminazies understand, but that goes without saying....

Women love misogonyists such as myself.

I have all sorts of females who bend over infront of me and stalkers.

There are more sluts and whores than ever!

I can get laid any time I want.

I am not an ugly inbred jew.

Sorry.

Its not my fault you were born without a dick, and are envious...

And the "white knights" (I think that's the currently used term). Men who will rush to the aid/defence of any woman right or wrong thinking it will help get them laid.

I think men are biologically functioned to go out in groups and hunt, so they had to work together, or they didn't catch any game.  Women had to stay back at the camp and nurse their babies, so they couldn't hunt, so they had to compete with each other to get the best hunters to feed them.  Therefore, MORE men evolved to be happy enough just to be team players.  MORE women evolved to attract whatever men, after the hunt, received the lion's share, and women therefore evolved to be watchful and to quickly defeat any other women might take away either the man who brought them the lion's share, or any man who might take the lion's share away from their man.

And it has SEEMED to me that women who rose in bureaucratic jobs were OFTEN the ones most focused on eliminating perceived threats to themselves. 

(Of course, some men also evolved to hog the lion's share so that they could get the most desirable woman.  Such men can be coldly cruel and dishonest.)

(And, of course, there are many women in the workforce who are wonderful in every way.)

But I ended up not expecting women in positions of bureaucratic power to be necessarily either less cruel or more truthful than men in power.

So you respect women by using them for sex because they think you are some rock star god banging lower class women?

Shocking hypocrisy.

I would never marry/have kids nor have any respect for a woman who had sex with guitar heros such as yourself.

Sorry.

Yes. Men have been systematically driven out of the labour force since the war. The master class figured out "liberated" Girl Fridays would work for less, complained less, and were less likely to leave and set up a competing firm. Hence women were recruited as their fathers' and brothers' replacements, discouraged by officially-approved second-wave feminism from marrying and having children. 

The masters, of course, remain overwhelmingly male. There is no such thing as a self-made female billionaire. All truly wealthy and powerful women inherited or married their money and power.

Nothing that scientific;I was trying to measure how much I really care what people think on this sight by meassuring my reaction when I checked in later.

I care somewhat, but I am more interested in the collapse of the present system, so the earth will survive long enough to allow our DNA to reach another planet after its own collapse;+)

Perhaps you could look at "Inner Paths to Outer Space" by Strassman M.D,, Luna PhD,

Wojtowicz, M.D., Frecswka, M.D.

Hahaha.  Good one.  For better or worse, that's not our approach.  I've never even consumed alcohol or anything else I figured would dull or misdirect my consciousness, so that would definitely be going in a whole new direction.

Actually, our way to outer space is indirect.  We're creating a new implementation of smarter-than human inorganic consciousness that should also be faster-than human.  Better be anyway, or we'll be extremely bummed.  The original prototype was smarter-than human but vastly slower than human, and thus essentially of no practical value (other than proof-of-principle, which was the point of that prototype).

Once we have one smarter and faster than human inorganic consciousness, we can create thousands (or more) copies.  They can work 24/7/365 enhancing their own architecture and/or implementation... as well as all sorts of fundamental science, engineering and invention.  Our hope is they will quickly provide us with vastly cheaper, easier, safer ways to get our butts into space, and live there permanently.

So... a different approach.  Obviously our purpose is to permanently evade human predators (especially those calling themselves "government") and the endless risks, hassles and inefficiencies they carry.

Where in space do you have in mind? i'm sure you are aware that there are presently no known locations capable of supporting human life. My daughter is fascinated by space exploration so this is something we study together. Does your organization have a web presence? If you don't want to share that information on this forum would you be willing to PM it?

Some thoughts about the future: The merging of carbon  and silicone into a smooth transmission of data within the chemical  synapses and electrical neuronal activity will eventually allow a symbiotic relationship to wireless data input and export by the enhanced human brain. Instead of just digitizing the electrical areas stimulated during certain funsctions, emotions and thoughts , eventually the neurochemical molecular structure that makes up a thought will be digitized; this will open uo channels of silent data exchange between humanoids. In addition, telepathy will be enhanced along with this slower form of wireless transmission. Telepathy is simultaneous, wireless is typical wireless when used with an ehanced silicone carbon neuronal interface.

In the world without silicone enhancement, the process of natural selection has already started to enhance data collection and processing on its own, Asbergers, idiot savants and genius are the early stage examples of the changes takeing place that, at this point, do no always favor their natural selection, just some.

smarter than but slower than : the history of man developing various technologies has always created problems with understanding the new technology. henry ford started buildinjg cars before there were highways. the effect of the automobile created the modern economy (a mobile workforce) and it ended segregation before the civil rights movement started. rightfully if mankind said lets think about this, we might avoid the wars, economic and social disruption.. smarter and slower is alright but we arent conditioned to program the changes that would prefigure the new technology. there is always some group (government) which wants to use the technology before people are ready. people werent ready for the atomic bomb and it had the effect of scaring the hell out of everyone. the age of anxiety. human predators seldom function well in group settings but i wish you the best, inorganic consciousness must be more akin to molecular structure, crystal lattices and so forth, like a hardwired computer, which for some reason were never very popular. (Wind River?) they are resistant to outside forces, like communication itself, they remain ungarbled by interference.

"The Forever Peace" sci-fi book.  Humans will change when something changes their brains.  I have been wondering what the odds of that happening are.  If they don't change, they will wipe out the planet they are living on.  So I agree with what I think you said.

Our brains are changing naturally, and they will through biomedical enhancements also. Hopefully, the enhancements will not be for smarter and under control, but for smarter, more creative and more free. Enhancements could kick start portions of our unused or under used brain cells by the growth of more connections-axons and dendrites.
