yeah, the real substance of the situation is a lot more complex than the left/right divide

i can make arguments in both directions but i definitely argue against it if the woman drags you down to simple hedonism, this is not what life is for, this leads to decay and short lifespans and bad decisions, and on the other side, the ideals can be an unreasonable mistress as well

Ideals as a mistress.... It's so true

Tell that to the paranoid crypto anarchists :-D

i'm one of them... my distrust of government and title and prestige are so great that i'm able to settle with either the monastic, or late flowering options, i probably should root for myself a bit more lol
