Cleckley's lesser-known and more provocative treatise on sexuality and sexual deviance provides a good deal of insight into contemporary sexual decadence and anti-psychiatry.
“Religion itself has become corrupted by an ‘ideology of compassion’ and a corrupted notion of inclusivity.”
Most def. Not just Christian denominations, but Jewish ones, too. The Reform and even Conservative Jewish seminaries have been largely captured. Several years ago I stopped going to services because I was fed up with politics in what’s supposed to be a sanctuary. I started going to Orthodox and Chabad services instead. I’d rather be falling short in my own observance within in a community that reveres the ideals, than considered ‘observant’ in one that eliminates or tailors ideals to suit their tastes.
Great stuff as always, JD. I'm curious if Cleckley addresses the subject of BDSM in the book, and whether you have any opinions as to it's acceptance as a form of healthy sexual expression.
