I guess. Wow. Wow. Cheap. But back to the topic, I think there's sort of two interesting things. One of these, I want to play another one of the clips that we have. Let's play number 70.

So if you weren't able to see that, she's literally crying there. That's why she's sniffling there. She's actually crying just coming to terms with what she did. I think one of the more interesting things about this is you'll get a lot of... or claims that, oh, it's totally normal, it's not weird, doesn't mess them up.

And then when you really dig into it, as far as I can tell, it's almost always the case that it actually does mess them up. And if they present that it doesn't, it's only because they've hit that injury so many times that it's like they're totally numb to it in the same way that if you smashed your foot with a hammer every day, you'd probably stop even feeling the hammer after a while.

And that stood out to me like a very direct confrontation with how harmful this is. And the other thought I had when we just think about how we respond to this is I just think about news stories that you can see where the top model on OnlyFans will make millions and millions of dollars and that the mainstreaming of this is so damaging on the margins because โ

It's like there's probably always people who are going to do behaviors like this no matter what because they're super desperate or it appeals to them or something. But when it's legal and mainstreamed, you're creating this โ almost this expectation that you're legitimizing it as an option in life.

And one of the arguments I've always made when I would debate with more libertarian types like should prostitution be legal is I would just say โ I don't like the reality that we'll live in where like if a woman is down on her luck economically to say like, oh, why don't you just start like an OnlyFans account? You can make some money that way.

I think that any society where that is considered a serious option is a failing society. It is one that has failed and is lesser than the alternative society would be.

Yeah. I think a good example of how you can do that that I like is there was a British politician, John Profumo. He was a cabinet official who had a sex scandal. In fact, he's the British politician sex line in We Didn't Start the Fire. Oh, wonderful. So he has a big sex scandal, ruins his political career. And what he did after this, he resigned from everything.

He was an up-and-coming, possible future prime minister. He resigns, and he volunteers at Toynbee Hall, which is this old Victorian-era charity place. And he goes in, and he starts cleaning the toilets at it. And he just starts doing manual labor as a volunteer. For years, he does this, doesn't talk to anyone about it. And finally, it hits them.
