If a man is single in Japan, he will be taxed.

In regard to demographic collapse, Japan passed the point of no return in the 1980s. Once a society doesn't have enough 20-40 year olds to make babies, no policy is going to matter.

Your thoughts?

It's mildly comforting to be made aware that, draconian as The US government has become over the past 5 decades

, there are still parts of the world where this nonsense has become even MORE outrageous

Hi Plinco,
"...1. He thought he had a chance for survival and took out the enemy before the enemy took him out.

2. He thinks he's getting rewarded in an afterlife that doesn't exist and foolishly sacrificing himself.

3. He no longer values his life and at least he gets to go out in a blaze of glory. "

Very good response....Back in the day I pushed your line on all motivation being selfish,to a Lecturer,he responded that he could not hold such a cynical attitude,that it would destroy all motivation to do good in the World,he further said it was a Skinnerian approach to Sociology?

Sounds like slavery. So you men dont want to wife up alle these women with their allready bloated egos and bring yourself under gynocentric jurisdiction? We, the government, will see about that! Wait until "the west" is hearing about that!

If old texts are to be believed, Greek men generally preferred the company of young boys. In that context, it's understandable why some form of communal pressure would be necessary to get a Greek bachelor to commit to a woman and start a family.

That's not precise enough. Greeks were famous of pederasty and homosexual relationships due to the very specific, rigorous application of same-sex education as well as limited access to women (for example in Sparta young men had to first serve many years in army before they could start family), women were also often hidden from guests that were not friends (and spent time in part of house that was meant for them) therefore e.g. they often did not participate in discussions or situations reserved for men - so some homosexual relationships were in fact forced by situation (in similar fashion to being jailed in prison for many years, in which case some men switch to gay sex). Especially soldiers were prone to homosexual relationships (as it was often only relationship that could be maintained succesfully on every level), I think that movie "Alexander" successfully deals with describing this issue.

BF Skinner dismisses man as thinking individual, and implies that man has no free will; he was a nihilist. I would guess that your professor is coming from a religious background, in which case he is conflating nihilism with reason, as a lot of religious people do as nihilism and reason are both secular.

Man is not another animal because he is a conscious, thinking animal. With that comes the power to control anything in his environment (assuming he is free and fully intact) and the responsibility to do so that is in accordance to who he is.

Sounds like the Middle East today (minus the military service part).

In Japan, starting in April 2026. if a man doesn’t know how to attract a woman and sleep with her, he will be taxed. It’s called the “Bachelor tax”

My thoughts: It a good idea, but the girl has to be young and hot and have 0 divorces and 0 kids. If they expect a man to sleep with an overweight 32 year old woman or a single mother or an ugly woman, he’d rather be taxed.

Your thoughts?

we should have a fat tax.
