It sounds like you need more humility, as well as a healthy outlet for your feelings of powerlessness. In this case I'd recommend: a) Humbling yourself in real life as much as possible. Experience what its like to donate, volunteer, and do selfless acts of kindness for others. Let this become second nature. b) In your private life, preferably through art, get all the feelings of power that you desire. This could be through roleplaying, writing, video games, imagination, etc. Be the king of the world that you crave to be in a way where no one gets hurt. c) This is the most important part. Build a foundation for yourself, and do things to earn genuine respect from others. Become a master in your field. Work towards something extraordinary. In this way, you won't even have to demand respect from others. They'll simply give it to you out of their own will because they look up to you so much. This is good, healthy respect that's good for you. By doing all 3 of these regularly, you'll have enough humility, natural admiration and healthy outlets that you'll rarely if ever feel inferior or the need to hold power over others. Not saying it'll never happen, but it'll be rare.

I sympathize with Kendall tbh. It ain't easy being the black sheep

The Skydiver’s Standard: You don’t need to jump out of a plane to say skydiving looks dangerous. That’s the heart of the Skydiver’s Standard — a rhetorical double standard where someone demands high-stakes, full-experience immersion before you're “qualified” to critique something, while they freely judge other things with little to no experience. "You can’t criticize gymnastics unless you've trained for years." "You can’t question a religion unless you've lived it for decades." "You can’t critique a political theory unless you’ve read all 2,000 pages of its founding texts." And yet, the same person feels perfectly comfortable making casual judgments about things they haven’t gone deep into. That’s the double standard. It’s selective gatekeeping — raising the bar for critique only when it protects their own views or identity, while lowering it everywhere else. Examples in use: “You're telling me I need to read the entire Bible before I can question anything about it — that's the Skydiver’s Standard.” “She says I can’t have an opinion on contemporary art unless I’ve studied it for years, but she rants about video games all the time. Classic Skydiver’s Standard.” “I don’t need to be a chef to know when food tastes bad. Stop using the Skydiver’s Standard to deflect.” Why it matters: People often get shut down in debates because they haven’t “done the work” — not just of being informed, but of being deeply initiated. The Skydiver’s Standard exposes how that bar is applied unevenly, depending on whose worldview is under scrutiny. It gives us a simple, powerful phrase to push back: “I can understand the risks, patterns, or flaws in something without fully living it.” We don’t have to jump out of a plane to know the dangers. And remember, the Skydiver’s Standard is about proportional critique, not uninformed opinion. So as long as you're not using it to reject expertise, and instead using it to challenge inconsistent gatekeeping, you're encouraging fair, thoughtful discourse — not laziness.

I hope you're saying that society expects you to pick a side, not you. -

#1. ChatGPT is wrong far too often to be a primary news source. I gave AI a list of films and asked it to tell me which ones were Oscar nominated. Then I fact checked the results and found that on multiple movies, it was wrong! It said Your Name won Best Animated Feature in 2016 when it didn't. If it can't even get its movie facts right, why would you trust it with something as important as world news? #2. Let's face it, ChatGPT has a liberal bias. Left to its own devices (pun intended), it will always put liberal sources first. #3. A lot of news content is pretty fucking dark and uncensored. ChatGPT is very squeamish and can't even handle R rated conversations involving sex which leads me to believe it would censor a lot of articles which aren't family friendly. -
It's never happened to me personally but I've seen it happen and it's sad

Kind of hard to have a collaborative frame when you get security called on you for approaching a girl.

If "bullshit" is your only response to someone who disagrees with your sentiment, then you didn't actually start this thread with the intention of having a real conversation. -
EternalForest replied to Alexop's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Absolutely. I strive to be as authentic as possible. But that being said, fake kindness is better for society than real cruelty. -
EternalForest replied to Alexop's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Meh, I disagree. In my experience, I find men to be very mature. Then again, I'm in the USA but still I never understood where the whole "girls are more mature" thing comes from. Also @Alexop that Teal Swan video is toxic as fuck, I'm sorry. That mindset is everything that's wrong with society. Like Osho said, the problem is people think kindness is fake and hate is real, it's all backward. Besides, I'd rather an asshole be "fake nice" because that's better for society and ultimately at that point they're only fooling themselves, the world still benefits. -
Again, this is assuming that if women don't resonate with OP. he needs to re-evaluate himself. When maybe he's selling his product to the wrong audience. That's also an option.

Even if that was true, it sounds like hell to me. Imagine watching your every subconscious move around women to such a degree that you have to work so hard to avoid having it reflected back? It's also a roundabout way of saying the woman is always right or more emotionally correct, which isn't true at all. OP sounds like a solid guy who isn't doing anything wrong imo. He just hasn't found the woman who really GETS him on a deep level. Relationships are deep things.
