Prager today has discovered "the only man in the world" who doesn't have lustful feelings for women other than his wife. He's baffled, I believe, and is telling this man that he needs to be studied because he's the only such man in the world.
Then for several minutes, he asserts his credentials that give him the right to insist that his "every man" over-generalization is still dead-on correct: he has had couples approach him and tell him he saved their marriage. Goody for you, Prager.
Prager looks at himself, and he looks at a million honest men who admit they wish they had more variety in their women. And because Prager wishes to screw around promiscuously (though of course he reins himself in), he projects to every other man on the planet. He finds a book (George Guilder, discredited evolutionary psychologist) that supports him and for twenty years quotes Guilder's phony arm-chair theorizing as support for his own Prager-centric theorizing.
Another caller, another monogamist, and Prager tells THIS one to get examined as well. Then, I'm not sure, I thought I heard him muttering about lying to oneself. I'm way behind, time-wise, so I can't be sure I heard that or just imagined it.
But what is this, other than narcissism? I feel this, therefore everyone feels this. I can do it, therefore anyone should be able to do it. I respond in such a way, therefore everyone should be able to respond in such a way.
