Why is this ’21st Century breakdown’?

Remember, like in films, these images and themes are purposefully put in by people wishing to convey a message.

So, does this have something to do with Hook up culture being breakdown of society in the 21st Century?

How can something seemingly glorious and beautiful signify a ’21st Century breakdown’.

I wrote ages ago that ‘Tinder served as the Tinder for the inferno about to be unleashed on the West’.

After the second World War, the late 40s marked a loosening of morals and increase in promiscuity (Hippie culture). The next big shift was the 90s, with it’s mainstream acceptance by Pop culture and films like ‘American Pie’ glorifying hook up culture.

Pornography evolved from Magazines, to Videos, to DVD then to Internet where you could have unlimited access and view it at all times and anything you want.


Hook up culture is absolutely a breakdown, for even though some participated in the loose hippie culture, breaking Divine law, they still weren’t as ‘loose’ as the Millenials and those after them, young people.


Why is hook up culture bad?

Plato taught the reality of paradosis, and the effects of bodily fluids (including saliva, male and female semen, etc.) have to transform ourselves and others.

When you intake saliva and bodily fluids, you’re taking in that partners, DNA, parasites, and so that person will always remain a part of you and ‘in’ you.

The more people you interact with, the more diluted the original ‘you’ becomes. You suddenly become ‘tied’ with 20 people, and then each other partner that they interact with too. A simple 20 people (that you consider yourself humble for ‘only’ accumulating) can quickly escalate into the 100s if those same partners accumulated similar numbers. Beware, if you’ve been with partners who’ve ammased 100s.

That’s why many who accumulate many partners are more likely to experience mental health disorders, and increased divorce.


‘But having the most amount of sexual partners is Glorified! In fact it’s even portrayed as the meaning of life especially to young men today’.

Yes, that is what current society believes and both men and women have internalised this.

Rap also glorifies Drugs, Murder, Prostitution (‘bitches’ and ‘Hos’).





‘But what’s wrong with splitting the soul?

Society is made out of individuals. Youth is the future. Right?

So, if the youth are no longer integral (through dilution), they’re not likely to think and act with integrity. There are many statistics that show that the more sexual partners a woman has (men too, but less extreme), the more likely they’re to divorce.

The consequences for this with family, the nuclear societal unit, is devastating for children from divorced (of which 85% are Fatherless) households are:

Remember, seeing children once every 2 weeks is less frequently than children see relatives. Therefore, children who see their father at this frequency are considered ‘Fatherless’. Fathers (and mothers) must be in their childrens lives nearly daily.



Effects of fatherlesness:

85% of youths in prison come from fatherless homes

71% of high school dropouts come from fatherless homes

90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes

Nearly 25 million children live without their biological father

60% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes



‘But what if I’ve had to divorce because of legitimate reasons like violence, abuse, infedility?’

Fair. You may even have left for trivial reasons (which the majority of marriages are left for) but do not want your children to suffer.


Then this is for you.




Mentoring, yes Mentoring drastically increases your childs life outcomes.

Ment- Mind

Or- Gold

Mentoring fills your child’s mind with Gold.


This is in regards to ‘at risk youth’ (the demographic most likely to be adversely affected and ‘go off the rails’).

  • 55% more likely to enrol in college
  • 78% more likely to volunteer regularly
  • 90% of them are interested in becoming a mentor themselves
  • 130% more likely to hold leadership positions
  • 46% less likely to use drugs


    There you go, no shaming here. Our past decisions cannot opress us forever. Knowledge is power, and now you have the knowledge to know where the ledge is and make sure your child doesn’t fall into the deep end.


    Remember, while emotional trauma from divorce is most vivid at age 11 for children, the reality is that the younger the child, the more damaged they are and the higher likelihood they will be part of the above statistics.

    Why?

    Between the ages of 0-7 is when a childs brain forms the most and understands the world.

    ‘Give me a child for the first 7 years and I’ll show you the man’.

    Indeed.

    A child who’s never had a father in the household has traumatic wiring in his brains formation. In the males case, it becomes more aggressive, ready for violence (to be, and as the only ‘man in the house’), and when he’s a teenager he suddenly yearns for male connection and often seeks refuge in violent gangs, with other Fatherless young boys. Here, he becomes exposed to Drugs, Violence, Promiscuity, all of which rewire and permanently damage the brain, and future childrens starting point in life, enhancing the viscious cycle, and inflicting more fatherlesness and abuse in the future.


    In womens case, they become more promiscious, with teenage pregnancies coming mainly from fatherless young girls. They seek out a ‘man’ but unlike young boys, this entails finding a mate of the opposite sex, and this yearning realised, they become fiercely loyal. Similar to the man, they often seek out a ‘protector’, someone who can be ‘the man of the house’ and so often choose Violent men (which often is accompanied by alcoholism, drug abuse, domestic violence inflicted on them etc). Yes, these are the women who physically attack police when Police restrain her husband as he was pounding her face into a bloody pulp, about to kill her.

    How can a woman whose lives were saved do such a thing?

    That’s how.


    ‘So wait, I can divorce whenever I want so long as I get a mentor for my child!?’

    No, life outcomes are still worse for children, getting a mentor can help mitigate the harm, that’s all.


    Anyhoo, Greenday is showing us how this seemingly beautiful expression of love is actually what is directly causing the breakdown of 21st Century.

    Brilliant (but tragic).

    Bare minimum (conscious) thought should go like this-

    ‘I didnt like being fatherless, I will not inflict that on my child’.

    Very simple.



    I love you all, be kind to yourself and your future Yous 🙂

    Please, truly.
