The Sweetened Lie I once dated a girl who said she’d go along with “2+2=5” if someone truly believed it—she wouldn’t correct them if it might upset them. In her mind, sharing a delusion was safer than truth and conflict. This mirrors what’s happening in the West: we’re losing the capacity to seek truth. Two forces may play roles: declining testosterone among young men and the feminization of institutions. Testosterone is linked to assertiveness and resistance to social pressure, and research suggests it can reduce short-term deception and conformity to group norms. Testosterone has also fallen in men across wealthy nations since the late twentieth century, making pressure easier to accept. Meanwhile, healthcare, universities, media, and other institutions are increasingly female-dominated. Critics argue that female-led cultures may prize consensus and harmony, making dissent costlier. Combined with less internal resistance, external penalties for resisting pressure can produce enforced conformity. Jung warned that failing to integrate the “masculine” side of the psyche can lead to rigidity and ideological capture. Arendt noted that totalitarianism doesn’t require belief in lies—only behavior that acts as if one believes. My ex embodied that dynamic. Nietzsche argued strength is tolerating truth, while the weak require truth diluted and sweetened. The first step is personal: refuse to participate. Accept the cost of nonconformity, build physical strength to support mental strength, and above all, refuse to tell the lie.

The Stooges, ook bekend als Iggy and the Stooges, opgericht in 1967 met als leden Ron Asheton op gitaar, Scott Asheton op drums, David Alexander op basgitaar en zanger Iggy Pop. De groep wordt gerekend tot een van de voornaamste protopunkbands. Aanvankelijk kreeg de band de naam The Psychedelic Stooges. Hun vroegste muziek is heel wat experimenteler dan de muziek die ze later zouden brengen. Ze schuwden bijvoorbeeld het gebruik van ongewone klankmiddelen niet, zoals olievaten en stofzuigers. Hun optredens werden gekenmerkt door een agressieve houding en primitief geluid. Tevens hield Iggy Pop ervan zijn publiek te provoceren. Zo dook hij bij momenten de zaal in, smeerde zich in met pindakaas en verwondde zichzelf door middel van glasscherven. In 1968 tekenden ze een contract bij Elektra Records en veranderden hun naam in The Stooges. Ze begonnen te werken aan de opname van hun eerste album, dat geproduceerd werd door John Cale, die zojuist The Velvet Underground had verlaten. https://hvdommelen.nl/s/Stooges.html
