CS Lewis has never had to choose which travel companion to cannibalize during a mountaintop snow storm. Unless your acquaintances look particularly diseased, they’re usually the easiest choice. Friendship can save your life. Take that, you timeless fuck

To paraphrase CS Lewis, "~Friendship~ casual sex is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art. It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”

Casual sex […] has no survival value
I wonder how many people less of our species were on earth w/o casual sex. It doesn’t have survival value for one personally, though.

I have no education on this matter but I’m going to confidently say at least 1/8 of the planet. 1/5 of the western world, and asia, I’d say 1/3

Depends on what you count as casual sex. People grow emotionally more attached to friends with benefits than to strangers too and might help them in a tough situation over a stranger or mere acquaintance.

IDK. I think about killing myself a lot less when I’m getting laid regularly.

man, imagine thinking friends has no survival value, if you didn’t know Lewis’ family was well off, this would make it obvious.
