How exactly is saying it -- that just because most people feel something [desire to have sex] does not make it [that, quoting AQuantized's response to rofo1, sex is a necessity] a fact -- "just like" telling a happy person th

Yes. If it were not for the suffering engendered all this obsession with sex would be highly amusing. And personally as someone who favours individualism -- despite having grown up in a culture where arranged marriages are the norm -- I wou

The difference between a need and a desire is not a minor detail (which is what the word pedantry would indicate). Let me explain it for you. need /nēd/ circumstances in which something is necessary, or that require som

I can state that this topic is quite interesting to me. I can also understand why women tend to feel dehumanized by it. But we as a society must not turn blind eye towards problems that afflict humanity. Withdrawing from painful reality won

Do you know the difference between need and desire? Can you comprehend how desiring sex is different to needing food and shelter? It is true that most people, as you indicate, are apparently unable to live an awesome life without sex in h

Sex is not the be all and end all of living an awesome life. Just because blind nature created you rife with the instinctual passion of desire does not mean you have to live as a slave to it. Channel that desire into hobbies that are actual

Baumeister indicated this in his book that I read a long time ago, but it is more like 2:1, > throughout the entire history of the human race, maybe 80% of women but only 40% of men reproduced. https://psy.fsu.edu/~baumei

"Too Much Meat" = "Meat + processed carbs". It is nothing to do with meat per se. Case in point: http://meatheals.com/ Yet another vegan/vegetarian-biased article. Nothing here; move along.

I wonder if all those anecdotes are placebo. The authors of this meta-analysis have links to rehabilitation and physiotherapy departments; so I'm not sure I see it as an exactly unbiased analysis. Unless it is clinical depression I fin

Yup. Have you also observed that the HN community has a vegan/vegetarian-bias? People here jump to prompt criticism and ad hominem when there is a pro-meat submission. And right now that Burger King vegan burger loaded with questionabl

I switched from Python to Clojure (because abstractions), and then to Go (static types; efficiency) and then to Elixir (because work) and then to Haskell (no more lame types and stupid nil errors). I feel like with Haskell I have basically

I purchased a Pixel Slate (running ChromeOS) and couldn't be much happier. It replaced both my portable laptop and iPad. I'm surprised people here don't talk much about this tablet that runs full fledged Linux!
