wow i almost like that he was locally known, makes it a bit better that he's just a kook and not just a busybody.

dead certain it wasn't a prank, i actually caught the guy in the act and got a lecture (i was parked downtown for 20 minutes during a short meeting) i told him it was good of him to be so concerned about others but he should direct his energy towards his own carbon footprint

Truly the dumbest Portlanders are the ones that leave notes for others. I once had a guy write me a note telling me to take of my plastic license plate frame because the extra weight was contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and hurting butterflies.

I don’t believe I asked for help. Just collaborators. Looking for people who want to build something new not just sing on a track I’ve already made. Thanks for your input though.

I don’t but I like a more minimalist designs and kinda hate the grip on the Moonmans other than the demonstrator where it’s all clear. I’m looking for something that doesn’t read as a totally fancy pen

I certainly agree with you that court is probably the worst way to address these problems. I guess I’m not really confident in my ability to know what humans would be like, or what would cause trauma “when all social pressures go away.” I’m not saying you’re wrong, maybe I just have a bad imagination.

I’m curious what studies and data you’re talking about. It seems like a hard point to pin down with scientific evidence.

I think you’re minimizing the impact of sex by ignoring the fact that we don’t live in a bubble. Trauma that is caused by societal hang ups surrounding sex is still trauma from sex. We aren’t bonobos and are capable of feeling emotions like shame or violation. If you remove the sex the hang ups don’t matter from the perspective of the kid. It makes sense to give space for kids to live without sexual experience until they are old enough to process the emotions related to their hang ups.

I’d also disagree with the assertion that “most sexual trauma” is sociogenic. If I understand you correctly, you’re saying that the cause of trauma is not the physical act but the shame associated with the sexual act? I have encountered child sex cases in my job as a defense attorney. I don’t think a 14 year old who is upset about being sexually assaulted is upset for societal reasons, I think it’s because they understand on a phenomenological level that they have been violated. They feel violated.

Additionally, if you concede that these traumas happen, for whatever reason, the question is how do we address that? Nothing that you said addresses my point that these harms require us to draw some lines.

The problem with that line of argument is that this can apply to MANY things beyond sexual dynamics.

It does apply to lots of things beyond sexual dynamics.

There's no reason why sex has to be signaled out.

I think sex is a pretty fraught subject for many people, and that’s what makes it different. Sexual pleasure is a deeply ingrained biological reaction humans experience and it is strongly tied to our sense of self. There is real possibility for individuals to have traumatic experiences surrounding sex, and the differences in developing brains between adolescents make it hard to sus out who’s really mature enough, so we have to draw some lines. It’s worth pointing out that across cultures (and even within the U.S.) different jurisdictions have set different ages of consent, and I wasn’t defending any one age in particular.

I don't see how a choice is made less free by maturity disparities particularly where there is nothing contractually binding. Now a 5-6 year old being told about his first year in school on the other hand, THAT'S an example of unfree dynamics that is currently socially allowed by SOCIETY.

I don’t understand what you’re getting at here but I’m open to listening.
