$300 million is 0.85% of Ken Griffin's net worth. This is couch cushion change for him.

He's a Harvard alum who wants to make sure his kids, whose mother is also a Harvard alum, get into Harvard. That's all this is about. We could go on for days about how many lives could have been changed by that money, what an impact it could have had, but we'd be making the mistake of seeing it as philanthropy. It's not. It's a tax-deductible purchase of option rights.

"Back in the mid-2000s, when the gay marriage activists were saying that all they wanted was to shift the definition of marriage slightly to include them, people like me warned that this was a trap — that there was no way to do that without legitimating trans."

And to legitimize trans is to legitimize polyamory/polygamy. And to legitimize polyamory is to legitimize other practices that we now consider unthinkable. Because the sexual revolution knows no boundary; this train won't stop until it gets all the way to the end of the line. Which is why you can be certain pedophilia is coming - maybe not tomorrow, or next month, or next year. But it'll be legitimized under the umbrella of LGBT rights - gay teens needing to realize and articulate their "actual" selves, and who better to help them achieve that fulfillment, that validation, than older gays who can help them realize their "true selves?"

In a consumer society where lust is seen as a virtue rather than a vice, when every boundary is oppression, when the overriding individual and thus societal goal becomes the actualization of the "true self" - we want what we want, and we believe we're entitled to it, and to be denied what we want = "pain" "hurt" "violence".
