There are couples who have been together over 50 years who long stopped kissing and sexing. They're still together because that's not what their relationship is founded on/evolved to be. There are other reasons to be solid, some more healthy than others. I know people in sexless, kissless relationships that are healthy relationships, and those that are in hypersexual relationships that aren't. I just don't think there's a one size fits all.

Just because they're not willingly suffering and dying to feed the profit complex doesn't mean they're not feeding the machine. See also: Soylent Green.

Critical support is okay, but if we dismiss our wrongs to the point progress stalls and reverses because of complacency, that's something that needs addressing, along with failure to be disabused of cherished illusions and delusions.

People can't help where they're born, or genetic qualities, even if they're designer babies, because that's what their parents chose. Be proud of accomplishments you effected not off the backs of those who legitimately didn't have a choice.

I don't think it's just the money, but that people who have leisure time also have time to think deeply.

I think it's not any one stand-alone thing, but the sum total. Is kissing important? Probably, but also not much value without deep, meaningful conversation. Conversely, deep, meaningful conversation without physical connection also starts to ring hollow.

Use the bathroom.

Antioxidants exist.

Let's see, racist rapist or guy who cares about locals? It's not a hard choice, unless you're a racist or rapist.

Keep women's names off too.
