Welcome back to Samus Popery. I'm Joe Heschmire. And today I want to talk about lust and how it makes you stupid. And I want to do this specifically because I think there's two competing messages that we receive right now. And one of them is just false. So one message is sex is no big deal that we're told, you know, just don't make a big deal of it. This is your religious indoctrination.

This is just a culture you grew up with.

Sex is like a handshake.

It's not a big deal of it. This is your religious indoctrination. This is just a culture you grew up with.

Sex is like a handshake. It's not a big deal. And the other kind of direction we get information is just one after another sexual scandal where you watch someone utterly destroy their life because they couldn't control their sexual

passions. I mean, whenever you're watching this, I bet you could easily come up with examples of

your own because of when I'm recording it, the most recent one is a big to-do about the CEO of

the tech company, Astronomer, who was caught with his HR director at a cold play concert, and it's

embarrassing enough that he's at a cold play concert. But he also threw away his whole marriage

and his job, a job at which he was making enormous sons of money. He's worth between 50 and 70

million. He was making just in salary, about half a million a year,

but was also getting giant end-of-the-year bonuses.

And you just think, wow, he's going to lose a huge chunk of that in a divorce.

He's also lost his job, a job that he presumably cared a lot about.

Think about all the work that goes into being the CEO of a company.

Think about everything as CEO sacrifices so that they into being the CEO of a company. Think about everything as CEO sacrifices

so that they can help the company to succeed, so they can make more money, so they can do all

the things that they've built their life around. And then think about the fact that this guy

threw all of that away because he couldn't control sexual passions.

And he's by no means alone.

I actually am not using his name, even though his name is very widely available.

I mean, it's just it's right there in the article.
