Yes. I don't deny this. The truth often arrives with a nice serving of bullshit. Sometimes information is delivered in a unpalatable way. Indigestion. I think we each receive in very, very different ways. I am certainly not free of my own little mind interpretations

Robert Greene has said multiple times, on record, that the 48 Laws of Power are more a guide to be aware of power dynamics, how they are used & wielded. It isn't a list of traits you are meant to embody/action to get what you want. Although, he admits that this is how many people read and interpret the book. He is often illustrating lower consciousness methods of force and power to raise awareness. The book has been an asset for me working with state and federal clients. Understanding power dynamics so I am not seen as a threat, and instead an asset. The bureaucracy and power plays when you deal with professionals in a work environment is a minefield. The book essentially helped me navigate the minefield.

Honestly it looks like more AI responses from @Monster Energy in this thread. Especially responses to @something_else. Morton bailey fallacy + goalpost moving. You should be aware that AI has its own values, judgements and calls that are acting as a filter for your own. This is part of the guardrail system. The reasoning a model can perform is not identical to the reasoning it presents after its instructions, policies, and response constraints have shaped what comes out. You have your own values. When put through AI, you are combining/remixing two value systems, it all just becomes a mess.

These are all control methods. If you think that has the potential to encourage a healthy, sovereign connection with a woman - you might want to reassess. These sorts of methods of control isolate & cause disconnection. I think its a power play - and says more about how little personal agency and power the man has, than the women.

What makes you think there aren't? Timeouts are common for certain types of users.

@oOo It might not be that deep. Pragmatism.

@Jirh same (⁠⊃⁠｡⁠•́⁠‿⁠•̀⁠｡⁠)⁠⊃

This could be pointing toward the root of the issue. Relationships are about connection. Some of the issue with Red Pill is it blocks connection - which blocks love.

Sometimes these sorts of beliefs are also coming from a very strong cognitive bias; huge amounts of data that could contradict a worldview are simply discarded.

I apologise if you felt I tried to mechanistically explain away your lived experience. My aim was to explore possible alternatives, not tell you how you are 🙏🏻

@Jirh it makes it all less certain. That's killing the knowing for me. Also I'd appreciate you stop telling me what I think or feel. Especially through a generalised gender based lens. You may not mean it this way, but the rhetoric you use is received as if you are attempting to explain me without really relating.

DECEASED It sounds like something women would comment to each other about a dude "I'd like to access that dip stick". Might make a good pickup line remixed a bit? Hahaha dip stick

Does evil require intent? Some ignorant shit leads to the most heinous, evil outcomes.

It was a co-creation' codependent arising! I must admit, I cycled through a few words prior to settling on "killer". Mostly because you "killed" the previous point. Like a savage. Fucken caveman style. Fatality. Brutal. Carnage. Merciless. Massacre. Okay I should stop now. FaTAliTY! hue hue hue

@Carl-Richard killer contribution

Do we have one? Rolling. Post that shit. Shorts, reels, tick-tock turds. Do your worst short format. Boomer cringe. I love the spittle on the guys mouth 🤮🤢 https://vt.tiktok.com/ZS45V1Enf/

@OmniNaut new BMWs and Audi - you can't even access the dip stick to check the oil. You are completely locked out and dependant on the routine service. Even key fobs for remot engine start and other functions are subscription based services now. You will own nothing and love it 🤢🤮 It's all about locking you down into some sort of subscription model.

@Ramanujan what is a relationship about, in your view?

It is SUCH a good question and often has me stumped. Often what I detect first depends more on where I place my awareness. This really became evident to me deep into a good routine meditation process. Because for me? I honestly have a lot of trouble being able to even make a clean distinction between a feeling and a thought. I rest often with feelings being experienced coupled with a sensation, and thoughts less so. I view feelings and thoughts as a codependent arising in my consciousness. My default is a thought. Less a feeling. In fact I often struggle with felt empathy. My brand of empathy is intellectual. Overall I am unresolved.

This is red pill brainwashing. It's like a lens of corruption on your understanding of reality.

I don't view the world like this. In my experience the split is not so clean. I see more deviation within the sexes than between them. I base this just on my experience in the social domain. In real life, not on the internet. But I appreciate your perspective nonetheless

@yetineti crying is a powerful external signal of distress when authentic. I think it's normally a signal of a need. Comfort is the standard. Infants and children, prior to language, often default to crying as a bid for connection of some sort. It signals some sort of overwhelm as a result of a feeling, sensation or thought. I think the thread has established that authenticity matters, but crying does not establish intent. When I see a man cry, I have a powerful feeling from my chest to connect with them. A compassion. The connection helps define the source of the crying, and then secondary emotions/thoughts show up in response to the narrative present.

I should have been more clear with the thread topic for context. I FAILED. It should be "How do you react to a woman crying, free of interpretation, explanation, concept and perspective?"

From what I gather the Law of the Sublime is more spiritually themed. I am interested to hear his perspectives on the matter.
