Got in an argument with a self described socialist co-worker
>Mentioned that someone is objectively attractive
>"Attraction isn't objective"
>There are features that are universally considered attractive across cultures like facial symmetry and clear skin
>"Are you saying that people are objectively wrong for being attracted to someone who doesn't have those"
>Only if they are exclusively, their attraction would be miscalibrated. All of those traits are signs of general health and evolutionary fitness
>"Fitness? Are you talking about fat people? Is this what it's about?"
It went on and I had to explain to them the difference between proscriptive and descriptive statements
>People can have sexual attractions that are dysgenic, pedophiles for example
>"Are you implying that having a different sexuality than yours is wrong"
>it's bad evolutionary to not be attracted to signs of health. You should have learned what survival of the fittest is in high school, it's basic evolution
>"I DON'T CARE ABOUT EVOLUTION" they yelled
>MFW
These people vote and don't understand a single thing about the world they live in

>not just jerking off and buying the books you want
