    'MOST' again improper use of the word 'most'.
    MOST things are not unhealthy.

    Getting 'laid' doesn't guarantee you anything in this day and age. It is also quite easy for women to reproduce without getting 'laid'.

    Your preoccupation with sex (I assume because you aren't getting laid) is influencing your posting ... I would recommend some 'self help' so you can post without this featuring in all your theories.

    Most things are unhealthy. Junk food is more common than health food.
    Most of the water on the planet is salt water, not fresh water. Salt water is unhealthy to drink.
    Most of the planet is unhealthy to eat. That is why intelligence exists. If the whole planet was healthy to eat we'd be bacteria and not need brains to learn how to forage for food.

    Are you talking about artificial insemination? That is not common and generally rare.

    So if I post stuff about natural gene selection, I need to talk to some quack psychologist because apparently sex is taboo to talk like I'm in 1800's america.

    Most food is NOT junk food, consider the WHOLE world.
    Most water is not intended to drink and so NOT unhealthy.
    Most of the planet is inedible is like saying most of the planet isn't pink? It makes no sense.
    Plants are able to obtain nutrition ... are they intelligent with brains?

    By 'self help' I meant masturbation not psychotherapy.

    No that was my point exactly.
    And most of the planet is not healthy, if you want to look at it like that.
    Is it healthy to stay out doors all day with no shelter? No. Shelter makes a minority of the space of this world.
    The majority of this world is ocean. Is it healthy to lay in the ocean all day, and go to sleep in the ocean.
    Animals are organisms, with a limited life span, each day they grow older and sicker. It is inherently unhealthy to be an animal lifeform. Until you give me the elixir of immortality you have no argument.

    Lets say I am sexually frustrated. I can set that aside and argue objectively about evolution and natural selection.

    Second, masturbation dont cure sexual frustration it makes it worse, because porn just makes me envious of other people's sex lives, and makes me realize noone loves me, which makes me despair.

    Porn isn't at all an accurate reflection of 'real' people's sex lives, let me assure you of that!! So do not be envying regular people, envy porn stars if you must. And sex is not 'love' and the porn actors are most definitely not 'in love' and most likely struggle themselves to find 'love' due to their profession. They may also themselves find it hard to know how to love in the normal conventional sense.

    My advice, get some counselling if are able to to discuss your experiences and feelings and while trying to be mentally healthy, get your body in peak physical health (helps mental health) so you feel more confident and able to go into the world and 'love' someone and be loved.

    im not sure modern science can really grasp the entire situation to a point where you can evidence something for a lay-person to grasp to a convincing level.
    the lay-person needs to up-skill themself up to a certain point where they can drive the buss called science
    & more specifically not just whiz bang pop sci-pop-science
    but actual proper neural science & psychology.


    my inner sociopath(do you have one?) can identify with aspergers & autism spectrum

    but when you roll the dice down the table of the
    "lets prove something to those not interested"

    it's a completely different subject
    & its all rather technical
    do you want to dumb it down ? if yes, what for ? to whom ? to achieve what ?

    where does Aspergers start & OCD stop ?
