“The obscenities of this country are not girls like you. It is the poverty which is obscene, and the criminal irresponsibility of the leaders who make this poverty a deadening reality. The obscenities in this country are the places of the rich, the new hotels made at the expense of the people, the hospitals where the poor die when they get sick because they don’t have the money either for medicines or services. It is only in this light that the real definition of obscenity should be made.”

AI Created: Artificial Intelligence talking about Usury.
Me: Usury is that kinda force that makes people prostitute other people, even their own family.
ChatGPT (jan23):
Usury can contribute to financial hardship and desperation, which can in turn lead some individuals or families to make difficult choices, such as selling their assets or engaging in illegal activities in order to make ends meet. In some cases, this could include actions such as prostitution, whether of themselves or others. Additionally, usury can also fuel a cycle of debt, where individuals are constantly struggling to keep up with payments and are forced to take on more and more loans, which can further exacerbate their financial difficulties.

Psychology plays an important role in understanding and studying prostitution. Prostitution is a complex phenomenon involving a variety of psychological factors, including motivations, beliefs, attitudes, and emotions. Psychological research has been conducted to understand the motivations and experiences of those who engage in prostitution, as well as the psychological effects of prostitution on individuals and society. Research has also focused on how people view and judge prostitution, and how these views and judgments shape the overall experience of prostitution.
