The End of the West: Sexual Liberation vs. Public Debt

US public debt soars alongside sexual liberalization. A study by J.D. Unwin links cultural decline to relaxed sexual norms and rising hypergamy.

English · Original discussion in Spanish · Published

The growing US public debt, far from funding infrastructure, is interpreted as a symptom of sensual drive amid uncertainty, while sensual liberalization and female hypergamy dismantle social stability.

Public debt in the United States was kept in check for decades, except during wartime. However, the 1970s oil crisis marked a turning point. Instead of tightening belts, the response was massive borrowing. This phenomenon is not new; as early as the 1920s, with the rise of social life and the arrival of Jewish communities in New York, an increase was observed, similar to what peine in Berlin. After the "ing hippie" era of the 70s, debt climbed again, and current projections point to a total collapse around 2044.

## Sensual Energy: The Engine of Civilization

Philosopher J.D. Unwin, in his magnum opus "Sens and Culture," analyzed the trajectory of 80 native cultures and six civilizations over thousands of years. His conclusion, condensed in an exhaustive study, pointed to a recurring pattern: the relaxation of sensual norms and the decrease in monogamous relationships coincided with cultural decline. Unwin postulated that societies with stricter sensual norms, including abstinence, channeled their sensual energy into territorial expansion, artistic, scientific development, and social reform, driving high cultural achievement. The civilizations he studied included the Sumerians, Babylonians, Egyptians, Hellenes, Romans, and Anglo-Saxons, among others. While the subordination of women and children is unacceptable, mandatory continence, according to his analysis, has been a key factor in the development of "rationalist" societies.

To maintain a rational course, sensual impulse must be controlled and redirected towards more productive activities. Unwin advocated for equal rights for women but insisted that the key to cultural development lay in restricting premarital sensual opportunities, rather than in the existence of a patriarchal system, although both phenomena have historically coincided. In practice, it is observed that in societies with greater sensual liberalization, such as Germany, the motivation to defend one's country appears to diminish. Conversely, traditional societies, where unions are more stable and men have a strong incentive to protect what is theirs, such as in Iran, show a greater willingness to sacrifice.

## Hypergamy and the Debt Spiral

Lack of legal security and economic stability pushes men into fierce competition, often through socially harmful activities like rent-seeking or exploitation. Instead of perfecting art or improving industry, they seek quick, short-term returns. Few young people dedicate themselves to deep study when the need for high social status, often linked to physical appearance and the gym to access social interactions, consumes their energy. The liberalization of women, some argue, has exacerbated hypergamy, making stable relationships difficult to access and generating cynicism.

Access to the "meat market" reveals a bleak picture for many. Expectations of finding virgins crumble in the face of accounts of promiscuous sensual experiences. This creates an environment where the value of relationships is perceived as illusory, undermining the will to fight for anything. The idea that liberated women become mere objects of exchange, devoid of soul, fuels the thesis of Western decline. US public debt, in this context, is not used to improve citizens' lives but to project a status of superiority, a kind of national "strutting" in the face of uncertainty and perceived loss of value.

## The Illusion of Status and Imminent Collapse

The absence of economic and social stability fosters short-term struggle, a constant search for validation through ephemeral appearances, similar to the fleeting nature of social media posts. This leads to miscalculations, such as impulsive military interventions that become long-term traps. The purchase of luxury goods, like a BMW, financed with loans, traps individuals in debt, limiting their future opportunities. All of this, according to this perspective, stems from an inability to control female hypergamy, deep instincts that prioritize status and security over long-term compatibility.

Female hypergamy, based on instincts that prioritize seeking partners of higher status, can lead to irrational rejections, even for superficial changes in male appearance. Society validates this perception, creating an environment where relational decisions become random and unstable. Hyper-specialization, similar to that of a beehive, where most men become dispensable "drones" and only a few access reproductive roles, may be a consequence. The end result is not human improvement but social rigidity. Meanwhile, the West succumbs to this empty ostentation. Public debt soars because political decisions avoid necessary measures, those that might be unpopular and displease certain sectors, even at the cost of long-term stability.
