I really like this one.

Holy shit, Walt.

You’re killing it with this one.

Have you finally found the meth dosage sweet spot? Because lately I no longer feel like I’m risking a stroke trying to read your stuff.

This is your best literary work. You've made significant progress since your novel. You might be the first person to use statistical concepts as a literary device; I never thought it was possible. I am happy to be proven wrong.

Side note: looks like the Atlantic pinched your bit on returning to an oral culture.

Hey walt, OT, but Aella's Big Kink Survey now has an explorer with a nice GUI:

https://bigkinksurvey.com/

I used it to test your earlier hypothesis that lesbians tended to be more feminine in Zoomette as opposed to later generations, where they were more masculine.

Thanks to sex worker/researcher Aella, we can finally test this. She put up an explorer for her Big Kink Survey, which unfortunately leans young (under 34) but is still better than any other survey out there.

https://bigkinksurvey.com/?y=agreeablenessvariable&x=orient3&c=orient3&sex=Female

Under 30, lesbians are less agreeable than straight women, and bisexuals and straights about the same.

Over 30, lesbians are *more* agreeable, and bisexuals even more so!

Neuroticism, interestingly, displays an almost identical pattern over and below 30--bisexuals > lesbians > straights.

So it's actually the opposite, at least for Agreeableness--zoomette lesbians are more masc, millennials more femme. You could play around with it to see if it holds for the high Openness women you prefer, for instance. Given that the historical research reveals a pattern similar to what you've described for older people, I'm curious to see you play around with this and see what you think! This could be a powerful tool once you pass it through your intuition and lived experience.
