Guys, I'm trying to find some passage (I think it was a documentary, but it could be just a simple interview) in which Houellebecq talks something about society being divided between those who have and those who do not have sex.
I don't think theses remarks were made after the incel phenomena, but I'm pretty sure it can shed some light on it through Michel's lens. I remember being such an interesting insight!
Does anyone here have any idea where I can find? Any help would be appreciated.
Also, Houellebecq thread.

Honestly, start lifting. Not even joking. Focus on strength training for 3 months then do some hypertrophy for 3 months.
Then stick with whatever you find it best, I tried hypertrophy first and I hated it and dropped out of gym. Then I decided to try strength training and I'm really happy.
After I'm more or less stuck in strenght, I deload, hit pause and then do some hypetrophy for a couple of months.
I don't eat that well but managed to gain 20kg in the last 3 years.
Go lift, it is great!

in societies like ours sex truly represents a second system of differentiation, completely independent of money; and as a system of differentiation it functions just as mercilessly. The effects of these two systems are, furthermore, strictly equivalent. Just like unrestrained economic liberalism, and for similar reasons, sexual liberalism produces phenomena of absolute pauperization. Some men make love every day; others five or six times in their life, or never. Some make love with dozens of women; others with none. It's what's known as `the law of the market'. In an economic system where unfair dismissal is prohibited, every person more or less manages to find their place. In a sexual system where adultery is prohibited, every person more or less manages to find their bed mate. In a totally liberal sexual system certain people have a varied and exciting erotic life; others are reduced to masturbation and solitude. Economic liberalism is an extension of the domain of the struggle, its extension to all ages and all classes of society. Sexual liberalism is likewise an extension of the domain of the struggle, its extension to all ages and all classes of society ... Certain people win on both levels; others lose on both.

oh yeah, thanks anon. It is exactly that.
I guess the movie quotes some passages of it and in my mind an amalgam was formed in which I could only remember the pictures.
Thanks!!
