One example of the power of sex hormones : our obsession with titties (and related sexy stuff). A huge amount of popular music and advertising treats that obsession as its foundational strength. A glance of nipple is like lightning. A bared breast becomes the talk of the town. Porn is massive. Why? Because our sex hormones told us to think that way. Whole multibilliondollar industries depend on it. My mind reprogrammed. My aesthetics turned.

I don’t know about you, but I find the idea that my mind has been manipulated like that to be concerning.

And then when it’s an entire population being affected like that. It’s huge. Like beyond the internet scale huge.
