Knight’s magisterial writings on the cult of Priapus just might be an overlooked masterpiece of early sexual thought. This is an investigation of both Knight and his tangential, descendent religion. METHODS: Knight noted the phallus as a pantheistic origin of religious beliefs, he even quoted a Christian ceremony where he witnessed in the Italian village of Isernia the villagers bought and carried ex-voti in the form of male organs. He observed that the women kissed them prior to dedicating phallic relics to the local saint. Keuls was another historian who suggested that if Knight’s Priapus were published a scant one hundred years later it probably would scarcely cause even one ruffled feather. “The history of phallocracies and their versions of ‘socially endorsed phallicism’ are almost preternatural considerations for the history of repression and emancipation, and this extraordinary status of the phallocracy arises from its having been the norm for so long.” RESULTS: Knight’s work attracted the attentions of Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802) and William Blake (1757-1827). Richard Knight was somewhat enigmatic in that he was certainly anticlerical, he was a bachelor, he was fascinated by the archeology of sex. He had a famed fireproof safe that safeguarded his priceless collection of antiquarian artefacts such as coins and bronzes at 3 Soho Square. J.M.W. Turner was a famous artist who came to the house often to inspect many of Knight’s treasures. Long after Knight’s death, phallicism still exists. D.F. Cassidy founded St. Priapus Church of Montreal (Temple Pontifex) in the 1980s. It is based upon the lore of Priapus which emphasized the phallus as a source of life, beauty, joy and pleasure. CONCLUSIONS: Knight’s observations are now utilized in the Scripture of the Holy Seed which is just another metaphor that accomplishes the same function as any other scriptural work, codifying the meanings of life itself and developing a programmed response by the faithful and the penis is the central iconic relic. Semen release is considered to be the consummate act of worship. Specific images of paganistic penii are utilized to personify the mythic capacity of the penis, such as Pan’s and the Pompeian images of Priapus himself. Now since several religions have already usurped Friday, Saturday and Sunday they specifically have chosen Monday’s as their day for worship. The church has become so popular that they now boast upwards to nine centers in Canada and eight in the U.S. Source of Funding: None © 2021 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Volume 206Issue Supplement 3September 2021Page: e238-e238 Advertisement Copyright & Permissions© 2021 by American Urological Association Education and Research, Inc.MetricsAuthor Information James Pike More articles by this author Michael Moran More articles by this author Expand All Advertisement Loading ...

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
