 Justin says, off topic, question, sex question, Atlas Fontanaid spoilers. I could wrap my head around Francisco and Reardon, accepting Dagny choosing gold, and presumably all remaining friends. I don't know why you have to wrap your head around that. That seems pretty, I mean, I don't know. I don't see how they don't. But how can Rourke be OK with Dominique sleeping with Keating Weynand? I mean, he's not OK with it. He's disappointed. He's maybe a little upset. But he knows she's going to wake up. She knows she's going to come around. You see, having sex with somebody is not this irreversible stain that is put on you. Sex is not, oh, you had sex with that person? You're done. Finished. We'll never have anything to do with you. Sex is one aspect of human life. It's among many. I mean, I consider Dominique destroying the statues worse than her sleeping with Keating and Weynand. I consider her trying to destroy Rourke. How does he live with the fact that she's trying to destroy him? And he is still lover. So I don't see sex that way as this all or nothing or the special part of human life, human existence where you're stained in some way or you can never be forgiven for what you've done. Rourke sees Dagny struggling with very basic fundamental issues about her view of a malevolent universe. And she's struggling. And that struggling manifests herself in her destroying sculptures. That struggling manifests herself in her fighting, in spite of loving Rourke, fighting him off. It manifests herself in her trying to destroy Rourke, the person she loves the most in the world. It manifests herself in her sleeping with Keating and Weynand. It manifests herself in a lot of different ways. But Rourke is confident because it's confident in her that she will overcome and come to the right conclusion at the end of this struggle, at the end of this battle that's occurring inside her, the psychological battle. And that she will realize that she's wrong, wrong to have tried to destroy him, wrong to have, in a sense, beaten herself down, wrong in destroying beauty around her, wrong in sleeping with Keating and Weynand. But all these are wrongs. It's not like, oh, she slept with somebody. That is a Christian that's still remnants of a Christian view of sex. And I don't have that view of sex. And Weynand obviously didn't have that view of sex. And novels don't reflect that view of sex. I mean, so, I mean, if I were, I mean, if I were reared it, I would have thanked the stars that had thanked whatever that had the opportunity to sleep with Dagny. But now that she's with Galt, she's with Galt. And Galt is this amazing person that I want to be friends with. And Dagny was this amazing person, yes, we had sex. And it's hard to become friends after you have sex with somebody. But hey, don't really want to cut her off because she's this amazing person. And she's with this guy who's an amazing person. How could I not want to be friends with them? And yeah, I mean, I don't see that you can't have a friendship with an ex. You can have a friendship with an ex just because you slept with them doesn't mean you can't have a friendly relationship after you sleep with them. So again, I think you're still suffering from a Christian view of sex, which turns it into this, I don't know, this both something above and beyond any other human experience. And in a sense, it is, in a sense of pleasure, but it's just one more human experience, an important one, significant one, spiritually important, physically important, more enjoyable maybe, and more pleasurable than any other. But that's what it is. It's an experience. It's not couched in this whole, I mean, whole Christianity. And I don't know if this is in the origins, but at least the way the church has developed, has built a whole corpus of thinking around virtue that relates to just sex. To be a virtuous woman, what does that even mean? It doesn't mean reproductive and irrational. It means don't have sex until you're married. I mean, virtue is associated with a particular view of sex. That's how important Christianity is placed on sex. Now, I think secular culture diminishes sex too much, right? Eradicates sex too much, makes it into a completely physical activity. We need to have the right balance and the right perspective on it. It's super important as a human experience. And you have to guard that experience and put it in the appropriate context. Thank you for listening or watching the Iran Book Show.
