I wasn't disagreeing with the ladder theory or your post.
I'm going to sound like an asshole, but I really don't give a fuck, I think most people are deluding themselves into feeling more refined or evolved as human beings just because they put themselves up on a pedestal above and beyond this theory as if it's beneath their way of living.
again, extract the message from the hyperbole and you stand with a plate full of truth that you don't want to eat. It would mean you've been wrong about your choice to champion the little causes of human interaction.
and like that witty little fucker above me just said, indirectly, if it wasn't true, luxury wouldn't be a commodity, beauty wouldn't be marketed. The fact that society is what it is, is because we exist in it. Seperate yourself from it all you want, it doesn't change a damned thing.
The thread is a joke because of all the rampant denial that people have over what are natural base instincts. I see a hot girl, then yes, holy crap, I'm going to notice, its my "cultured" self that takes hold and keeps me from falling over myself like and idiot and growing a fat boner over it.
Just like some girl might find out that her boyfriend is super wealthy, she might make sacrifices in the "looks" department for this. I've seen many girls settle for guys who seem beneath them in personality, intelligence, and so on.
and guess what? they aren't bad people at all, they aren't your "club scene" people that half the posters in this thread seem to want to rip apart for being the dregs of society, for making YOU, in all your difference, LOOK BAD! *gasp*
I'm NOT saying that that site is even remotely supposed to be taken in a literal manner. It's too "out there" for that. I AM saying that there is a BASIS OF REALITY for his observations, and his theory.
