  1. @Alta I agree with what your saying. There is a healthy balance of your feminine and masculine energies as an ideal. However, a masculine leaning woman would want a vibe with a masculine leaning man. Likely. Obviously healthy expression of the dualities, healthy balance, etc None of this is simple
  2. @Razard86 I totally might get in trouble for this… But, I actually think there is a correlation with sex and gender. Though, I am aware all dualities collapse and there are exceptions. I think your physical, chemical anatomy has a role in your personality, cognitive function and preferences. Though, as humans we are varied. I don’t think it’s as simple as “all men and woman are just acting out roles” I think this is an over simplification and case of making sex/ gender and case of making ones personality, taste, identity etc overly arbitrary. There of course elements of social construction. And, the lines between all these things blur because they all aspects of finite existence is a construction. Like, how should a man eat, act? Dress? Dance? Speak? Etc… there is construction here. Yet, idk. It’s not just arbitrary. Humans exist as generally male or female leaning for a reason. It’s not just all arbitrary social convention. It’s obviously what humans have enjoyed and use for survival… However, when someone naturally falls outside of the norm, then, they would be acting just to maintain social norms… But, yeah it is a construct. But, people are not just pretending to me masculine or feminine to fit it. There are male traits, there are female traits. They may not be absolutes… but this is something I think is important to include in this.
  3. Yes, Theres nothing wrong with being with a beautiful woman. Life is meant to be enjoyed. That’s why I created them.
  4. @emptiness dancing Me as well. I was told to love beautiful things and to built up my capacity to handle it
  5. I think yellow isn’t the most spiritually developed stage nor is spirituality what spiral dynamics is measuring
  6. @Alta Sure, but 99% of people won’t be construct aware ahah Welcome to the void
  7. Wut Anyway, I personally think people can be more open to relativity. Doesn’t mean everyone has to be trans, non-binary, gay or whatever. People can be themselves. To me , you being authentically you without harming others, and others being authentically them without harming you or others is ideal.
  8. I agree with Alta about promoting an accepting and loving society. But, I stress that… that’s not going to be a linear thing in reality
  9. @Ulax because I was thinking about what you said. These “woke” identities are actually very flimsy. Not really woke.
  10. I’ve noticed people are Cisphobic lol Most these woke people ain’t Woke… just relatively liberal in areas.
  11. @Alta for 99% of people though, these boundaries are is if they are real. For sports, relationships, roles etc… For a lot of people, these dynamics are so real that if they get caught up in all this identity ambiguity they can become mentally ill and confused. Men for example, feel lost an confused with all this messaging.
  12. To me this is obvious, but there’s a bit of paradox at play. I am playing devils advocate with you folks. people are mostly just constructing new identity. Which is fine, but don’t judge people who believe there are two genders. It’s all a construct whether there is two or more…. There IS good reason for the constructs that exist… that should be noticed too.
  13. Okay then I now have a vagina like a physical hole with a womb and everything. I can give birth and the whole jam. Just cuz I socially changed my identity.
  14. Idk, there is socially constructed aspects to these things but there is also differences between men and woman. A vagina isn’t a social construct. Nor the natural strength of men compared to women. Gender roles, clothing, etc are constructs to a certain degree. Identity is a construct. There is nothing wrong with being trans, or Cis, or non-binary.
  15. @iboughtleosbooklist Okay, enjoy or not or whatever. But, I’m telling you you haven’t awoken to solipsism your in a dream. There is no fear when you actually realize it. No being a victim.
  16. At the same time, if she isn’t good looking I get bored and just want to be her friend
  17. @Elton he gave up on it after tripping apparently. Alien God doesn’t need to make courses.
  18. Usually, the day of I: 1. Eat little, but we’ll not less than 4 hours before 2. Clean place 3. 30 minutes Qigong 4. 30 minute meditate 5. read and review safety sheet if all is well…
  19. Sometimes we get a lot of joy being unwell and lots of pay off. Regardless, I can relate to this experience. However, someone not playing the game you play can be a good thing. Keep going and trying different psychologists.
  20. @KH2 I graduated at 26. I was in and out of school in my 20’s. I was busy making art, reading, working, figuring out who I was, starting businesses, etc…. I had worked as a bookkeeper for 6 months before I went back to study accounting. This was a strong piece on my resume.
  21. Maybe spending time with someone who doesn’t see you as a victim is useful. Maybe, spending time with someone who won’t play your game, sees you as rather normal and capable is valuable.
  22. 1. Create a personal finance excel workbook. Treat it as an ever growing thing. Keep it simple but use. To calculate your income vs fixed expenses. You should know how much money is coming in, and what is going at at least each month. 10% of what you make, save. Buy finance books, and build the workbook over time. Also, actually look at your pay stubs and begin to understand them. Save them. Envsion this simple yet powerful concept: every month I have more in my savings than I did before. except: if you have debt pay that first. Except for student loans/ low interest loans… you should save regardless. Find your own balance here. lastly, make your own decisions. I’m not qualified to give hard financial or investment advice. Your savings is one of the most valuable things you can develop. More valuable than petty dumb stuff. It’s your castle wall. Build a mighty one, or be overthrown by outside armies. When you have 0$ to spend, there is $15,000 in your savings. Then, you say “wow, I’m flat broke”.
  23. Start to value having money, over the things you can buy with it. Take pride and joy in seeing your savings go up. Read some finance books, look at your bank account more, set goals, never quit because it takes time and effort to change this.
