Transcripts

i was reading this book called a billion

wicked thoughts that was written by a

bunch of engineers at google and they

were looking at

billions of search

billions of google searches and you know

there's no shortage of pornography on

the internet and and there's much less

by proportion than there was when the

internet was first invented and it's so

interesting because it actually turned

out that one of the things that drove

the development of the internet and the

technology was the proclivity of young

men to search out sexually provocative

images that was what was at the

forefront of the development of the nets

extraordinarily interesting anyways the

google engineers looked at

pornographic search processes and then

segregated mail

searches from female searches so they

did a plot analysis of the typical

pornographic female fantasy

well and it was so it's so comical

because engineers did this and social

scientists would never do this because

they'd be probably too concerned about

the ethics of it or some damn thing but

engineers you know they'll just plow

ahead with no concern whatsoever for

such things and they actually discover

things that way and so

they they discovered the basic plot of

the female pornographic literary

product

and they identified so basically what

happened was that a innocent

well-meaning and attractive young woman

encounters a male who's a bit of a

monster

and the monster there's five types of

classic male monster for all you males

who want to know this is what you can

become

vampire that's a good one werewolf

billionaire

pirate

and surgeon

okay so that's very interesting because

well first of all there's a dominance

thing there's a

now you're actually blushing you know

you're actually blushing about that

that's very very funny so

sorry to point it out but it's so

comical you know i know i know it's so

funny i was reading this i was reading

this it was just cracking me up i

thought oh my god really pirate vampire

oh that explains it what about all these

damn vampire shows right they're so

popular online they're so popular on

netflix oh yes and then there's the

werewolf there's nothing sexier than a

werewolf apparently but i mean so

there's predatory dope there's predatory

dominance that's implicit in that right

with the billionaire it's more abstract

but clearly that's an indication of very

high success in the male dominance

hierarchy so but there's this desire for

aggression that's in that a real

aggression right and it's not surprising

to me to me at all it makes perfect

sense

but what but the basic plot is that the

woman encounters this

mysterious and aggressive

male and tames them

that's the female hero myth as far as i

can tell it's beauty and the beast

and so it's

because

well there's no fun in taming someone

who's already tame

and what makes you think you really want

someone who's tame anyways there's no

interest in that plus

when when

when chaos manifests itself

what makes you think that someone tame

is going to be good for anything

and it's a real question and so that

aggression is absolutely vital it's

absolutely necessary but because it's

import incredibly dangerous which of

course it is it has to be civilized and

so what happens is that the archetypal

female in these pornographic romances

seduces and tames the aggressive male

and that's her encounter with chaos now

it's more it's more complica

of course females they're more

complicated and that's exactly how it is

and it's no wonder because their their

lives are more complicated
