I have never taken narcotics. I have no interest in alcohol or tobacco. These days, the thought of sex is revolting. Peer pressure means little to me: I avoid people as much as possible, which helps. If I didn't, I might have to listen to self-serving, fatuous nonsense about how I ought to have an open mind about taking drugs or drinking, or at least take the trouble to examine every controlled substance on a case-by-case basis, despite a lack of interest and time. My justification for not doing so: I am rational, according to a cost-benefit analysis I haven't done. (Which is to say, I don't need a reason.)
That said, I've tried to reduce my sugar intake--no sugar in coffee, etc, but this has been difficult.
- nacker 14y agoWhy do you think it is "self-serving" to suggest that you ought to have an open mind? If you don't want to take the trouble to investigate subjects which are of no interest to you, and for which you are just too darn busy, that is just fine, you don't need a reason. You might choose to live your life in a cardboard box, after all, as long as you're happy there. Plenty of people will think you are missing out on life, though. But since you avoid people, you wouldn't care, I guess. Have a good one...

- ChristianMarks 14y agoWhy do you think I wrote that it is self-serving to suggest that I ought to have an open mind per se, when I wrote that it was self-serving to suggest that I ought to have an open mind about taking drugs or drinking? When you figure out what led you to distort my meaning, you should have the answer to your question.
