“Softened masculinity” is harmful for most people. Data finds that men who identify as very masculine tend to be healthier, less depressed, and happier, then men who identify as less masculine. https://ifstudies.org/blog/the-pitfalls-and-power-of-masculinity

I don’t understand what your complaint is specifically

When you feel an urge take a cold shower

It sounds like you have a deeper psychological phenomenon causing your motivation to enter politics to be to find justice for those you see part of yourself in

what?

Inspired by Leo’s recent blog post, I want to make a thread about sharing the best resources for having an open minded understanding as well as reducing suffering. These are some I’ve found: -The Righteous mind by Jonathan Haidt Jonathan Haidt is a social psychologist who studies morality and politics. In this book he discusses why people have different perspectives specifically in politics. Understanding why someone believes what they do can make you far more understanding of their perspective and better at communicating with them. talk with the author: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SOQduoLgRw -Crucial Conversations by Joseph Grenny This book was more from the perspective of business, but it’s actually useful in all parts of life when it comes to communicating emotionally charged or difficult issues in general such as relationships or disagreements. talk with the author: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uc3ARpccRwQ -Break through difficult emotions & Break through pain by Shinzen Young These are audio talks by American meditation teacher Shinzen Young about how to use meditation to reduce both emotional and physical suffering. talks with the author: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lD1ny_Q8sKo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdulQzPqRi8 -No Bad Parts by Richard Schwartz Richard Schwartz is the founder of the internal family systems model of psychology. It stipulates that human psychology functions as a combination of different “parts” reacting to each other. One foundational principle discussed here is that no part is “bad” and shouldn’t be pathologized but rather understood. talk with the author: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbNlOP26KvI What do you think of these? What resources have helped you?

In one moment he says he needs to be more patient and understanding, then a few months later he says he has been far too patient and is going to be stricter and harsher. I swear this is the fourth time he’s done this. I guarantee within a year he’s going to do an update video or a new post saying the opposite.

A parent telling a kid not to listen to someone will just make them listen to them more intently.

Eckhart Tolle said after enlightenment he sleeps 6 hours and Frank Yang said after enlightenment he sleeps 4 hours now

The “men becoming extreme and right wing” is actually a false media narrative. The data actually shows men have only moved slightly right while women have moved far more to the left.

For business try money master the game by Tony Robbins and Alex Hormozi’s work

In the finders by Jeffery Martin he said for some people deeper stages of enlightenment reduced hours needed to sleep

Does he put his height on his profile?

I can’t find any source on the claim being forced to do something can make you happier. I also don’t see how it applies here, divorce is also normalized for republicans in America.

Just not masturbating for a week or two isn’t enough to prove if it’s healthy or not

There are actually scientific studies that find greater partner count correlates with less relationship satisfaction and higher likelihood of divorce or adultery. If someone breaks up with you when you’re married you can lose a lot of money, access to your kids, and even get in legal trouble if they accuse you of something.
