Last week I was discussing why race of people in London makes a difference to sex life London vs Berlin and how the White British becoming a minor is a disaster, I have been further working on this looking at ways to demonstrate it
If you work at a company, a fairly small company with 25 women who work there and 22 of them are married and monogamous, If you spend all your time at work you are going to have to settle for one of the 3 available
This is one way to explain it
When you start to factor in race, age, class, monogamy and consider the impact of such high minority rates that are now a majority overall when put together this has a huge multiplier impact on the sexual marketplace in a city
It is fair to say that you are a white man and your sexual preferences are white Euro (incl English)
I have asked people who are Indian, Islamic or Black and they all said they only want to marry someone from their own group
We can split out the factors and then build them into a London vs Berlin model at the end to see the result. This is not an actual real representation but a thought experiment based on current London demographics
It is quite difficult to work out impact statistics but at the end of it all when we compound up the effects the result is staggering based on people left over of whom are compatible and available
I dont have the time to do it now and I need to think about it in more detail but I should imagine if we compare Berlin to London at the end of it all given race, age, class, and monogamy factors (sticking to these 4), I think the sexual marketplace might be ~10x larger in Berlin
This is quite difficult but I want to do this using blocks and hypothetical statistics to attempt to work out how it looks between cities. We can fill squares to represent the scenarios and look at why they vary and then arrive at hypothetical marketplace characteristics
I will use a 100 block representation for this, it is better to represent the picture, for example, if my sexual preference is White European incl. UK and I move to a random Chinese city it would look something like this because there are hardly any there so a bad scenario
I am going to try and use ChatGPT for this to see if it can work it out. We can feed in things like this, it shows that the sexual marketplace is very variable as another factor where in the London vs Berlin whoever is left over might be more or less within the sexual marketplace

There is a middle ground of ICE for the UK which says that all these guys riding around delivering food, they are not coming here to earn minimum wage in the gig economy, and so they shouldn't be here if they have entered the country for this purpose to send money to Asia
The reason I don't see them in Germany doing it is students can't be self employed and don't work >20 hours a week and if like me you are a graduate of Germany your job needs to be in the field you studied which isn't delivering pizzas or you have to leave
If it wasn't like that I might be there working now doing any job. SO if I got thrown out of Germany then let's be fair. I intend to go back there to work in IT now I have my MSc and I have been through a lot of pain to get to that, I was sent back to the UK
βIβm setting myself free from shameβ: Laverne Cox on her brutal childhood and life as a trans woman in Trumpβs America
This is a complicated subject but I would say that an individual can try to transcend but not set themselves free
If you learn a second language, the first language remains, it might become less dominant with fluency but your mother tongue still remains and is wired into your brain, along with it are memories and emotions, and shame
It means we can intellectually know something is acceptable (sometimes in different places) but still feel embarrassed, anxious, or ashamed
Often if we go to somewhere else like another country the embarrassment and shame can reduce but the anxiety can increase, this is residual
I have decided to stop using this twitter feed and to isolate multiple projects, to branch them off into new feeds that will span multiple platforms
One of the projects will be about inhibition and helping people to achieve the erotic life and sex they desire, I'm not sure what I will call this yet but I intend to build a hub of information and to provide self help and education
I have a lot of ideas to incorporate into this but it will centre around an artificial erotic self-concept persona model, it will help people achieve sexual liberation. They will be able to project manage it, like a guided congruency system
βYou can be made a laughing stock to millionsβ: can gen Z escape the fear of being cringe?
I have been trying to analyse inhibition and I find it is largely a product of safety and reputation discourse groomed into children, like a reputational panopticon.
It is complex but cringe is an umbrella term that mops up 'risk of'
Cringe is a way of describing generalised inhibition that comes from many sources, and those sources can be broken down and understood
It is about perception of the self, where the audience has already entered the self
That helps us to break out what the constituent parts of risk might be, because we can identify variations on who the audience may be perceived as
My hypothesis on the boundaries between body/erotic/sexual expression
Originally I thought it would be possible to use machine vision but I realised how it works now and there is no way to make a clear distinction between the non-sexual body expression and eroticism
First of all if we take an example of body practice A it may be fairly orthodox and break down into 100 different static or flowing movements
Under these circumstances we can look at each one and make a distinction between them, it may be that all 100 are non-sexual
The key thing is the orthodoxy.
Then if we take a non-orthodox form of body practice like improv-gymnastics it has a set of defined static or flowing movements, but it is an art, so the individual creates the bridges and often invents routines themselves
What if I come out with nothing on?β Marilyn Monroe and the defiance of her final photoshoot
The Guardian try to snap back some of their 'Prudists' but fail due to the way they look at the naked body which they can't show
Once they understand that they get to 11 year old German
If you read the article that celebrates the same photoshoot in full and look at how it is framed there is no mention of defiance Bild.de
In the Bild article it isn't mentioned at all
Schiller is presented as remembering Monroe as an intelligent woman and it speaks about building up a relationship of trust, and the nudity is presented as emerging from that trust rather than rebellion
