Sex and Culture. The End of Western Civilisation? · The Slippery Slope

• 0:13
  Sex and culture. I wouldn't normally start a
• 0:16
  podcast off with this phrase, but well, I've been doing some
• 0:22
  research into JD Unwin. Now this was all brought about
• 0:26
  because I kept hearing references by by a lot of other
• 0:32
  people on social media to how we will see the collapse of society
• 0:38
  after well, basically after you see sexual morality start to
• 0:43
  decline in society, allow, you know, allow sexual depravity to
• 0:50
  just go unchecked, well then eventually we will.
• 0:53
  We will see the decline in that civilization itself ends.
• 1:00
  So in in people have been referring to how this is what
• 1:03
  had happened in the the Roman Empire with the Greeks, other
• 1:10
  other civilizations. And I've been reading about JD
• 1:14
  Unwin. So JD Unwin had released a book
• 1:17
  in the 1930s called Sex and Culture.
• 1:22
  And I've been, but I've done so many.
• 1:24
  I've tried to record this episode so many times, but it's
• 1:30
  such a big topic. And JD Young, When's book is so
• 1:34
  complex, so big, and trying to summarise it is very near
• 1:39
  impossible for a podcast. Basically what I can take out of
• 1:45
  it all. And after reading some of the
• 1:48
  book, after reading the excerpts from that and also a study, a
• 1:53
  study that was done by a philosophy student named Kirk
• 1:57
  Durston who has written a very, a very, a very in depth blog
• 2:05
  about about this book, sex and culture.
• 2:11
  You'd have to come to the conclusion that what JD Young
• 2:15
  Ones research has included is absolutely correct.
• 2:20
  So he he done a research into I think his 86 different cultures
• 2:25
  throughout throughout the history of this world and come
• 2:29
  to the same conclusion that every time the same monotonous
• 2:32
  repetition is is occurring. Basically, these cultures all
• 2:37
  reach a pinnacle. They'll all have some kind of
• 2:40
  sexual revolution and then within 3 generations they will
• 2:43
  see the collapse of their culture and they'll be, you
• 2:49
  know, either completely decayed collapse from within.
• 2:52
  They'll be taken over by another culture, another more energetic
• 2:56
  culture. Just amazing to read to see the
• 3:01
  evidence that that he puts forward to to explain what's
• 3:08
  going on now considering that he wrote released this book in
• 3:12
  1930. So 30-40 years before our own
• 3:18
  sexual revolution, which started to occur in the late 1960s.
• 3:23
  Thank you all you hippies from the 60s.
• 3:28
  Sorry. And then there's another book
• 3:31
  that came out, Mary Eberstadt's Primal Screams, How the Sexual
• 3:36
  Revolution Created Identity Politics.
• 3:41
  Reading about these two books together and what the
• 3:44
  conclusions that they've come to you, you said they're going
• 3:47
  well, you have to come to the conclusion that the sexual
• 3:53
  revolution of the 60s and 70s started in the 60s, went through
• 3:58
  60s, seventies 80s I suppose marked the decline of our modern
• 4:04
  Western culture. So I'm just going to read a
• 4:07
  little bit about what of what Kirk Durston has written and
• 4:12
  it's far too complex to go through everything the the
• 4:15
  Complete Blog that he's Done or try and summarise these books
• 4:19
  from Unwin in From Estates. But if you think that the 1960s,
• 4:27
  just like what Unwin said from the late 60s when we had this
• 4:30
  sexual revolution, from then on we can say OK, we can start
• 4:34
  seeing the decline of our civilization and this will last
• 4:38
  about 3 generations. I just want to read a little bit
• 4:42
  more about what what dustins would up regarding what Mary
• 4:48
  Eberstadt has said. So it Miri abstatt.
• 4:54
  Recent research into mass killings, the substantial rise
• 4:58
  in mental health issues including depression and the
• 5:01
  explosion of identity politics is a Primal Scream due to the
• 5:07
  loss of identity that was once provided by growing up in the
• 5:10
  long term immediate family with siblings and a sizable group of
• 5:14
  cousins, aunts and uncles, all of which provided identity
• 5:21
  essentially for well being. Eberstadt shows and documents
• 5:26
  from various studies that this decimal decimation of the family
• 5:31
  was a direct consequence of the sexual revolution at the end of
• 5:36
  the 20th century. Her research indicates that
• 5:43
  increased sexual freedom led to the decimation of the family,
• 5:49
  which resulted in the loss of family identity, which produces
• 5:53
  Eber Stats, primal screens, a massive increase in mental
• 5:57
  health issues. They're not today.
• 6:01
  Mass killings. And what do we see?
• 6:04
  That and the rise of extreme identity groups at war with each
• 6:10
  other, all symptoms of a society rapidly spiralling into
• 6:15
  collapse. Which all this seems to go and
• 6:19
  support. Unwin's book, which was written
• 6:21
  in the 1930s saying, hey, when we see societies have, you know,
• 6:27
  a sexual revolution, you can give them basically 3
• 6:30
  generations and you'll see the total collapse of that
• 6:33
  civilization. Perhaps this appears to have
• 6:36
  greater explanatory power than Unwins psychological suggestion,
• 6:42
  although the two may actually be closely related, given whatever
• 6:47
  Stat shows. Both Unwin JD Unwin in his book
• 6:51
  Sex and Culture and Eberstadt provide substantial evidence
• 6:56
  that a sexual revolution has long term devastating
• 7:01
  consequences for culture and civilisation.
• 7:05
  As Unwin states, the history of these societies consists of a
• 7:09
  series of monotonous repetitions.
• 7:11
  Remember he studied 86 different cultures and how they collapsed
• 7:15
  and appears anti disappears that our civilization is following
• 7:20
  the same well travelled Rd to collapse.
• 7:25
  And then to summarise a little bit more of what JD Unwin said,
• 7:31
  basically saying that a loosening of sexual constraints
• 7:35
  probably does not occur in one year or even 1 decade.
• 7:40
  In our case one could argue that the sexual revolution began in
• 7:43
  the late 1960s, lasted throughout the 70s and possibly
• 7:47
  into the 80s. According to Unwin, only small
• 7:50
  changes in a culture occur in the first generation due to the
• 7:54
  cultural momentum of the previous generations, which
• 7:58
  still continues to be a heavy influence in the generation.
• 8:01
  After the loosening or strengthening of sexual
• 8:05
  restraints, the changes become more prevalent in the second
• 8:10
  generation, which is where I think we are at today.
• 8:13
  But it is not until the 3rd generation, after the initial
• 8:17
  generation has completely died off, that the changes reach
• 8:21
  their full effect, occurring rapidly over the course of that
• 8:25
  third generation. By the end of the third
• 8:28
  generation, which I think we're about to, we're hitting that
• 8:32
  tipping point. We're about to go into the third
• 8:34
  generation. By the end of the third
• 8:35
  generation, the changes have fully taken place and the
• 8:40
  culture stabilises. That's at its new level.
• 8:43
  However, if it has stabilised at the highest level, then the
• 8:46
  flourishing of that culture continues to increase in
• 8:49
  subsequent generations. Though Unwin observes that no
• 8:53
  culture maintains that state very long.
• 8:56
  However, if it has stabilised at the lowest level, in other words
• 9:02
  if it has collapsed, which is what I think is happening now,
• 9:06
  then that culture is destroyed from within, or conquered or
• 9:11
  taken over by the more energetic culture destroyed from within.
• 9:21
  So it's going to read the the last section of this blog, which
• 9:25
  is going back to the philosophical thoughts that this
• 9:27
  writer, Kirk Durston, had written, saying that for years
• 9:34
  it has been my thinking that God's moral laws are not simply
• 9:39
  a bunch of arbitrary rules given to restrict mankind's freedom.
• 9:45
  Instead, they are like operating instructions designed to spare
• 9:50
  people from suffering while maximising human flourishing
• 9:54
  unwinds. And Herbie Stats research
• 9:57
  provides strong rational justification for the inference
• 10:02
  that God's moral laws pertaining to our sexuality, although they
• 10:08
  may restrain us from some immediate pleasure, protect us
• 10:13
  from enormous long term suffering while maximising our
• 10:17
  long term flourishing. Look, reading these studies,
• 10:29
  reading the summary of these studies about from Unwin and
• 10:32
  Eberstadt, the sexual revolution and also the feminist movement,
• 10:38
  I think from the 60s and 70s, eighties, wherever it has
• 10:43
  devastated as a society our culture and we can see the
• 10:49
  degradation of our civilization and how it is being eaten from
• 10:55
  within. We see reasoning completely
• 10:59
  going out the door, a culture that it doesn't just deny God,
• 11:05
  it just doesn't even have anything to do with God because
• 11:08
  it just doesn't have time to even consider that there is
• 11:11
  possibly a God, just completely non religious there.
• 11:20
  There's just it's it's not even about being A and an atheist,
• 11:26
  because they haven't even put in enough thought to being an
• 11:30
  atheist. I mean.
• 11:32
  I mean, I mean, an atheist at least considers both arguments
• 11:38
  and considers God and considers things has, you know, thought a
• 11:43
  thought process. And modern generation now
• 11:45
  doesn't even doesn't consider anything.
• 11:47
  They're just too worried about themselves, too self-centered,
• 11:54
  which is the conclusion that I would Unwin comes to one of the
• 12:02
  one of the states of societies that just.
• 12:05
  I think it's the soloist, Zoest culture, this culture that just
• 12:11
  just that just looks within that just cares about themselves,
• 12:14
  that don't don't care about anyone else.
• 12:19
  All they care about is themselves.
• 12:22
  We're going back towards that. Anyway.
• 12:26
  Look, I this subject is it's far too far too big to talk about in
• 12:31
  in a podcast, so I think I'm gonna have to try and find
• 12:34
  someone. Actually I want to try and get
• 12:38
  get a hold of this Kirk Durston and get them to talk and see if
• 12:41
  they'll come on the programme and talk about it.
• 12:42
  But I would encourage you to read read.
• 12:47
  If you can't read the books themselves, read the studies
• 12:50
  that have been done about from Eberstadt and from Anwan and you
• 12:58
  can see it's blatantly obvious, blatantly obvious where our
• 13:05
  society is going and how the sexual revolution and the
• 13:12
  feminist movement did nothing to help S society and modern day
• 13:17
  culture. They have actually been the
• 13:20
  start of the destruction of our modern day culture in there, and
• 13:29
  as King Solomon said, there is nothing new under the sun.
• 13:44
  And as this radius is that God's moral laws pertaining to our
• 13:49
  sexual sexuality, although they might restrain us from some
• 13:54
  immediate pleasure, ultimately they've been put in place to
• 13:58
  protect us from enormous long term suffering while maximising
• 14:03
  our long-term flourishing. Anyway, I'd encourage you to
• 14:10
  look it up for yourself. I'll put the links in there for
• 14:13
  you to check it out for yourself.
• 14:16
  It's my opinion. I'm Jay Fallon.
• 14:18
  Thanks for listening to the Slippery slope.

  They will take
