Looks like it is now being hugged to death. Here are the last two I could get out. On Music:
“To understand more about what music can tell us about life, Thompson says to think of music as a natural resource – think of the raw material, the resource of human emotion.”
On Sex:
“The taboo about sex means we underestimate the value of shame."
That last one is (maybe superficially) profound so I went looking for the source.
From a brief search I can't find anything sex-related (Only Anthony Bourdain talking about food wastage)
What are the chances this is a novel "thought"?
https://plagiarismdetector.net/ marks it as 100% plagiarized, albeit the source link is dead so I can't verify it.
Interestingly the other snippet - the one that appeared to be cribbed from a book review - is marked as plagiarized only to this thread :D
Does it make sense though? I don't see anything more profound than a logical contradiction.
Yes. The suggestion is that taboos exist as a way to fortify and perpetuate repressive hegemony.
I’m actually having more trouble parsing your second sentence than the sentence in question.
