    Take a child young enough, teach and coerce him enough, and you could make him sexually desire chickens.

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      I would imagine that’s not incompatible with what Klaus is saying given my own guess about his understanding of free will.

      Thank you for your attention to this matter.

        I doubt that. Some things are hard-wired. Look at all the things animals do by instinct even though nobody taught them anything.

          I have no doubt that there is a genetic component to sexual preference, but I also agree that you could teach humans to sexually desire anything. We are the blankest slate, in the words of Ivermectin enthusiast and biologist Bret Weinstein. He and his wife wrote a book about it. A comparison to other animals is apt, as they are way more functional by instinct than humans are. And that’s a feature, not a bug. If you happen to know anybody who seems to think culture is important, way more important than most people realize, then that person is probably an insightful genius, and also probably very physically attractive.

          Education is extremely important.

                  My dog humps formless geometric shapes, like couch pillows.

                    Of the people who gay/lesbian, I think there's a percentage of them that have a legit sexual disorder (I know, a shocking term) by being attracted to the same sex. I would say it's a disability, similar to those who are born with hearing or seeing issues, but in this case the hardware still works fine so it seems the attraction to the opposite sex (plug, meet outlet) that seems to be in disorder. Anyway... for the other percentage, I'd imagine the "why" answer runs the spectrum from being a conscious self-defining choice to being an unconscious one based on life experiences, culture, trauma, media, whatever.

                                He became a piano tech and stopped posting because he thought expressing controversial views was not good for business.

                                Last I heard, anyway.
