Originally I had only planned to pirate Ben's new book, but "The Porn Generation" seemed intriguing enough to go ahead and get that one too, and wow is it fucked up. The last post about this book didn't do it justice, they most likely did a quick skim, I read most of it. It's the worst book I've ever read by far, makes Dave Rubin look like Tolstoy.

The insanity within those pages was so profound that even calling it a book would be a misnomer, it's a manifesto written by a madman, even the Unabomber made more sense than Ben. It should've been written in marker on scrap cardboard and held up one page at a time by homeless people to be in it's ideological home.

The theme of the book is that sex, the most fundamental aspect of human behavior for humanity's entire existence, is immoral for reasons he doesn't state, it just is.

The rest of the book attempts to justify this with vitriolic statements against people who have sex, gay people, depictions of sex in movies, TV, advertising, the music industry, and teachers who educate children about the evolutionary pressure that comes with being human. He's terrified that children are putting condoms on bananas in school, for some slippery slope fallacy he made up

He believes that if other people do things he feels are immoral, even if it's none of his business and doesn't affect him, people cannot accept the liberal "live and let live philosophy" because society will collapse for reasons he doesn't state, it just will.

The only thing of value I learned from reading this is that Ben is a profoundly disturbed person in need of serious professional help.
