get some zoloft in these frustrated and depressed young men. if it doesn't cure the depression it will at least remove sex as their only desire / signifier of success, which would probably force some perspective... is that what chemical castration is? have i chemically castrated myself?

    Idk, man. I think there's something fundamentally fucked about tackling social alienation by just... shoving pills in the faces of random frustrated young men.

    There's definitely real medical issues for people who can't/don't produce the right mix of brain juice. But there's also people who just need to go out and touch some fucking grass. Even the most dire medical interventions suggest you need to do a bit of both. Round up all the alienated men and women and send them to Spring Break down in Cabo. Maybe try that for a minute, and then lets see who washes out and still needs meds.

    have i chemically castrated myself?

    No. That's typically a lot more painful and permanent. But you're engaging in a tactical trade off that's the result of case-by-case analysis.

    Its like putting pins in your leg to fix a bone break. You're not going to Leg Jail. But this also isn't the sort of thing everyone should do, just because they've got bruised shins.
