[JurisDictum]

I got a bit excited when I saw the enormous penis that poped up in NYC

A towering painting depicting a shockingly life-like penis went up on the side of 303 Broome St. on Christmas Eve.

Finally something break the corporate monotony.

But then again, Lower East Side’s giant penis mural didn’t last long.

Where are we living exactly? Pleasentville? We can use a few naked women and penis murals in the city.

The Lower East Side is finally losing its giant erection — and cops want to speak to the artist, sources told The Post on Wednesday.

But no, we have cops looking for the artist instead

How does that piece of street art engage in the social conversation that is art other than being a look at me kind of thing?

Well if we can put a giant a coke can on a building, maybe it is OK to put a giant schlong on a building. They basically amount to the same thing.

What would you consider valid of the notion that the writer for the screenplay of Seven was commenting on the contemporary art scene as disolving into obscenity, shock, lewdnes, degredation? I'm not considering censorship from a government entity as valid.

Look, sex is an important outlet to prevent aggression from taking root in society. The reason the late 80s / early 90s was all dark and violent is because of the sex repression in the media.

We can see this in anthropological terms. Look at the differences between chimpanzees and bonobos

Although often mistaken as the same animal, chimpanzees and bonobos are two separate species within the same genus. They are 99.6 percent genetically similar to each other, but have different appearances and vastly unique social behaviors. The biggest differences between the two are in how they govern their societies: Chimps are led by an alpha male and tend to maintain order through aggression, while bonobos are dominated by females and keep the peace through sex.

So keep society sexualized and female-dominate to avoid violence.

Putting nude images all over will make us more European and signals the demise of the American empire

That's more bc the nature of warfare changed thanks to atom bomb, technical advancement, and work done in early 1900s to set us up as an imperial influence working thru multilateral Puppet governments, while using propaganda to convince the American public we aren't imperial, are only spreading freedom, etc. Large scale warfare is too costly and our foreign policy encourages covert and shadow ops over flat out attacks.
