Like Plato's doctors, warriors must understand that they cannot turn supplements into substitutes without cost.
What if our fixed law that supplements cannot be turned into substitutes can be violated? Wouldn't that make having sex the new meal, so to speak? If so, wouldn't we expect that supplements to that meal would soon make their appearance-ones whose referent is having sex with another man or woman but, like fast food, would provide something akin to it without the ordeal and preparation necessary for the meal? Pornography fits into this category, and soon, we're told, we can expect robotic sex "Partners"-the next vitamin for the meal of having sex.
If supplements can be turned into substitutes, why stop there, at the first transmutation that turns lead into gold? Might our substitutes themselves require supplements, which, in turn, become substitutes requiring additional supplements, ad infinitum? Having reached the limits of our imagination with respect to supplements involving fixed gender orientation, why not the supplement involving unfixed and ever-chosen gender orientations, which themselves then become the new substitute? Here we discover transgenderism, which would compel us to abandon the male and female pronouns that pertained to the original meal and its supplement, because that quaint arrangement has been wholly superseded.
If the fixed law remains intact that supplements cannot be turned into substitutes without exacting an immense price, then we are living on borrowed time, because generation and having sex within the confines of marriage are the meal and plausible supplement, from which we cannot long depart without dying of hunger.
If supplements can be turned into substitutes without cost, and these, in turn, invite new supplements, and so on, we should welcome the repudiation of the old meal that poisons us like lead and should live in the light of this new golden age.
Each company now monetizes our temptation to turn supplements into substitutes.
Tocqueville once again helps us distinguish between the meal, the supplement, and the maladies that arise when supplements becomes substitutes.
