    What I should have written is that I believe Alexander is a person who wants to give the impression that sexuality doesn’t define him. His is a life of the mind, after all.

      Fair enough, my effort post was more about how the anhedonic remark and how I didn’t find proof in the past (but kept it in mind) and that I found proof he talked about his asexuality btw. (I either didn’t look hard in the past or forgot I found the proof before already).

        Don’t apologize, I was talking out of my ass.

        Maybe the 2 Scotts represent the 2 poles of TREACLES sexuality - on the one hand, the effortless “I’m too sexy for my shirt, all the girls want me, but I will not give in to the pleasures of the flesh”, on the other the seething resentment that hot girls are denied them. I dunno, this has led to me thinking way too much about the sex lives of 2 people I really cannot stand.[1]

        [1] that said, I’m pretty sure Aaronson would at least try to be a good dad. But maybe I’m being too generous.
