Being an avid admirer of both Schopenhauer and Nietzsche, I consider myself a follower of the school of suspicion, but if one were to follow Freud in his purest form, the sexual foundation which preceded the 1960 dissolution of morals, might turn others to see in it the biblical sense of Sodom and Gomorrah.

There is a push to implement Sharia Law in Bali, that would see the death penalty for any two people having sex without being married.

Incidentally, the mathematics of the Peter's projection is the same mathematics that makes it possible to ride a tricycle with square wheels on a bumpy road.
The Texas A&M Physics Department's square -wheeled trike, built by the machine shop. The trike rides on a road of repeated pieces of an inverted catenary.
