Well, that was horrifying — except for the claim that matriarchy is inevitable, especially when dealing with varying levels of wealthy, infantile “genius special boys” who want to have indistinguishable sex mommies and to go wild. Yet, it was honestly so accurate in talking about the violence inherent in and underneath “professionalism” and “civilized” culture as well as society’s gross obsession with technology, which can be a way to recreate and to perpetuate violence.
