This is correct. MOST actors deflect but not ALL. So asking people to take responsibility is somewhat effective. Men need to learn that being "bad" is low conscious behavior and women need to learn that being attracted to "bad boys" is also low conscious behavior. Slowly more and more people change but it might take hundreds of years.

Great post. Here's some more nuances: Men are socialized to work more hours outside the home and thus make more money. Women work more hours inside the home but don't get an official paycheck. Men are also more willing (or socialized to) take higher risk jobs, travel for work, compete for high paying jobs. Men get more money for this but they lose time (and influence) with their kids as a result. Not to mention more likely to die from stress and risk. Also statistics show women make most of the financial decisions in relationships, spend more money, and have more power when it comes to spending. Men are more willing to spend on women than vice versa. Putting it simply men earn slightly more money and women spend slightly more money on average. These discrepancies should also be addressed if we are to completely level the playing field by equalizing earnings.

Not sure if anyone cares about the WHCD or about Oz Perlman but he's a mentalist with some crazy tricks. Here are some examples:

Literal Shots fired at the WHCD and Trump is evacuated. Guess it will be rescheduled.

Good call, psychedelics do potential harm along with any perceived benefits.

Easy: 1 ask their partner's name/hobbies/job? 2 Ask them what they are doing on the weekend. If the answer is nothing then there is a good chance they are single.

Ya it's a great interview

Sick interview

There's obviously a trick to it but he's very skilled at it. He uses suggestion and persuasion to get people to say what he wants.

I hear you and you're right. We treat each other like crap even on this spiritual forum. Ironic that the topic is basically "should pedophiles have empathy?" Yet it seems we hardly have empathy for similar minded people here! I take it back your comments add value and thanks for your reply.

You can leave too anytime if we are too low brow for you. It's not like your responses add that much value. I see you getting triggered at every comment you don't like and start hurling insults and swear words right off the bat without asking clarifying questions or showing you are contemplating the other persons perspective. Also if you disagree with a comment a gentler and more respectful approach sways people to change in a much more productive and healthier way.

Is this a good and maybe funny example of frame control? https://www.instagram.com/reel/DXZzYwTjY-U/?igsh=dGZmOTcxeXFhMjB2

The best way to look at the conflict is through a stage yellow lens I think. What if both Isreal and Palestine are right and both are wrong too? Choosing a side here is impossible and it is actually counterproductive. We have to be comfortable holding opposing views on our heads.

When you read an article on crypto replace the word crypto with money laundering and you'll see it still makes sense. Crypto is Pokemon cards for adults. This is a great interview on the topic

Thanks for saying that. Im interested in understanding all perspectives regarding any topic. You are a great moderator and you bring a lot of value to the forum.

Trump is obviously trying to win Joe Rogan back as Joe has been very critical of Trump lately especially because of the Iran war.

Yes you could be right. The older generations were raised with fear, indtimidation, coldness, toughness, bluntness, and authoritarianism. This produces external results (resiliency, good behaviour, conformity, responsiblilty) but inwardly it's very damaging to happiness and spirituality and creativity. So these inwardly damaged parents decided not to subject their kids to similar fates and raised them in a much softer way. The law of unexpected consequences kicks in and you get some unexpected negative consequences. Also consider that adults have complained about the next generation for as long as history has been recorded and maybe even before that. There's records from ancient Greece of adults complaining that the youth is too relaxed, entitled, lazy, uses too much slang etc!

Amazing memoir on growing up in a brutal Mormon family in Idaho. The author tries to get an education (eventually earning a PhD) after growing up on a farm without a birth certificate or formal education till she was 17.

Yes and why this myth is harmful is because it implicitly tells women they can't be hypersexual if they chose to be, and it makes HYPOsexual men feel inadequate, invisible, and encourages hypersexual activity (in order to be perceived as a man and causes a whole other set of problems). Myths like these are damaging to both sexes. This is a large point of the book "The Myth of Male Power" that I shared with you. This "myth" (which I'll grant is not a myth in every way) is equally harmful in the exact same way especially in history books where basically only powerful men are mentioned. The truth is the majority of men feel powerless (and thats why they kill themselves in greater numbers) and the average powerless man and woman contributed immensely to history. And before you say "feminism is the solution to everything" realize that the mens liberation movement is heavily aligned with feminism. They have the same goal and want both sexes to rise together.

Etymology Nerd gets pretty deep in this fascinating interview on linguists. In the chapter on generations, which I shared above, he claims that labelling people into categories, like generations for example, is not only false but a form of violence. In the chapter after that he talks about how we need to learn as many framework as possible to get a picture of the one unified whole.

@Leo Gura Which one? The Mormon one on your blog?

Women and kids lives are EXTREMELY important. And if you watch a movie you might get the impression that they are even MORE important going by the number of people killed. In real life too way more men get killed from: violence, homicide, war - not to mention suicide, dangerous workplaces, homeless, and drugs. By statistics alone the average man has more to fear than the average women. This is regardless of who the victimizers are.

It's almost common knowledge that women are pickier when it comes to dating, but at the same time men overlook the vast majority of women and focus on persuing the few who are attractive. So which sex is actually pickier?

The old "I know you are but what am I?" trick nice. Have fun being angry at the world and shadow boxing for the rest of your life.

@Lila9 if the patriarchy silences ugly, illogical, nihilistic, hate filled voices like your's then I fully support the patriarchy. Thanks for changing my mind, feminism truly is a cancer!
