I didn't read the Heinlein page, I just scanned it. I did do a Ctrl F on both anarchist and pacifist and it didn't find anything.
I've never read anything by him. But I can pick out some real facile sentiments on that page!
Like:
A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity.
That sentiment is so 60's.
The thing is, it's hard-wired. A person incapable of experiencing jealousy, at least sexual jealousy, would be an incomplete human being, imo. Mentally disturbed, or dysfunctionally rigid. Something like that. Incapable of love, I think I mean. This is my opinion.
Here's another:
Everybody lies about sex.
That one is surely true. So it's a good idea to get anybody who has anything sexual to hide under oath.
Ewww, this is fun!
Now, this is a funny coincidence. I used the phrase "an incomplete human being" above. I have probably never typed that phrase before in my life. And scrolling further down, I came to:
Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear shoes, bathe, and not make messes in the house.
I wonder if multiplication and division is enough.... |
