... fairy tale, but let me sketch it out in brief terms anyways. In the ancient middle east, there were, according to this story, two cities named Sodom and Gomorrah which were exceptionally sexualized societies. The details are a little sketchy, but it seems that homosexuality was not frowned upon, and it is heavily implied that gang rape was a pretty socially accepted sort of thing as well. These ...
...a bunch of undergrad classes that he was probably not going to enjoy. Riley cocked his head and really studied Blair for a long second before carefully composing an answer. "I just want to study societies, not individuals." Oh yeah, he was waiting for Blair to make an argument so he could counter it. Man, maybe it was built into soldiers to turn every conversation into a fucking contest of wills...
...as the reason for the shame. Omit "guilty"; it's implicit.] He recalled reading somewhere about societies in primitive parts of the world in which sick people were shunned, though he had never heard ...them most. By getting sick he almost seemed to have done something shameful. He knew that other societies had customs of "shunning" people who were very ill. But that ritual only existed in primitive ...

... of the technic society is that it's the first human society powered primarily by nonfood energy, rather than by the food energy that has sustained, for example, the far-more-stable hunter-gatherer societies that have existed throughout history. The phase of the technic society coming to an end with the advent of peak oil is one that Greer refers to as "abundance industrialism," in which humanity ...
...queer to his pureblood family. To most pureblooded families, and especially the Blacks, to have their eldest son, the heir apparent, be homosexual meant the end of the family line. In the purest of societies, to be homosexual was punishable by death. If word had gotten around that Sirius Black was seen kissing a boy, well, that would be it for Sirius. His parents would pull him from school...
... there will be fic. John Le Carre , The Looking-Glass War . Subtle, observant writing, rather depressing overall, but very good nonetheless. The world Le Carre evokes is more alien to me than many SF societies and cultures--very interesting to read with an eye to one's own world-building, in particular the social attitudes of the characters. I read a few of his books years ago, but I was too ...
... more or less content and have been for a week which is such an improvement. It feels amazing. I suspect I was just doing too much at the beginning of the year, but now I've cut out some societies - unless they're doing something genuinely interesting - I have spare time to focus on my degree, you know, the thing I'm actually getting money for *sighs*. On a more devious note - because I want you ...
