Is existentialism still present in any mainstream ideology? Seems like it's disappearing. Even libertarianism is tending toward genetic determinism now (see The Bell Curve, etc.).

Twin studies have proved being gay is a choice, is this not common knowledge to you? Stop promoting your fetish and driving us further into Decadence.

what studies? I feel I'm gay and this is something I've been struggling with my whole life. I don't want to be gay but I literally can't get it up to women ever. I've tried hundreds of times.

If it really is a choice then I'd like a way to not be gay, but from my experience it doesn't seem to be a choice.

>two whole studies!

And plenty others have "proved" the opposite.

Humans are naturally bisexual, with plenty of random variation, but we are largely shaped by social mores. Doesn't mean you have to such now, but don't be such a dick

Quoted By:

existentialism and existentialism-like thinking is a stain on the metaphysical consciousness that cannot be removed by the passage of time

it posits the individual is the sole decider of the separation of freedom and not-freedom that there cannot be a go-back to here on after

You're forgetting the 2 tenants of science
1) A single study, even if it's preliminary, is sufficient to prove something if I want it to be true
2) Consensus is very important, unless I disagree with the majority in which case there's a conspiracy
