I only have unserious pictures from Snapchat where my hair doesn't look like I got struck by lightning

Women also suffer when their husbands die and war is a part of patriarchy. Who else are sending men to their deaths but other men? ?

And "Deconstructing the myth of science" does not? ?

The irony is that you're now using sociology as an argument Like you said: "its a way too one sided analysis". You can atleast try to not come off as a troll. Until then, see you later ✌

I don't understand that you have to agree with the person to find the video interesting.

Reactionism is a political philosophy that defines itself directly in opposition to some widespread and often progressive idea in order to restore a former status quo. For example anti-SJWs, anti-feminists. You're talking about YouTubers reacting to other videos and pop-culture, which is not the same thing (but many of them are also political reactionaries).

Do you even know what a reactionary is?

You don't know my guy Jordy P? ?

I actually think it may help. My mood, concentration, sleep and of course libido goes to shit when I don't work out. If you're young and don't have any underlying medical conditions, doing physical exercise with a lack of sleep shouldn't be dangerous. Exercise floods your brain with relaxing chemicals and promotes sleep later in the day.

@Roy @Ananta For treating insomnia, melatonin pills can help to re-establish a normal relationship to sleep and getting back into the groove of things (conditioning), but it's not an effective long-term solution (as with most sleeping medication). It's primarily used to treat circadian rhythm disorders which is not the same thing as insomnia. Even though it's an endogenous compound that seems to be well tolerated in the short-term, very little is known about the side effects of taking it exogenously in the long-term.

Sleep hygiene: No caffeine before bed, reduce nicotine intake before bed, don't use alcohol as sleeping medicine, don't sleep in the afternoon, don't sleep longer on weekends, regular physical exercise (no exercise 3-4 hours before bed), reduce exposure to light and other forms of stimulation 3-4 hours before bed (physical, mental, emotional). Other remedies include warm bath 2 hours before bed, regular sleep-waking schedule, don't go to bed starving but not too full either, don't look at the time during the night, sleep in a silent, dark, chilled room. Only use your bed as a place to sleep. If you can't fall asleep within 15 minutes, exit your bedroom, stay in another room and return when you're tired again (this avoids conditioning your mind to associate lying in bed with being awake).

"Just google it" ?

Sociology is literally why feminism exists. But it's ok, I won't disturb your fantasy any longer.

You keep answering "yes" without going into the details. I'm not interested in posturing. Answer my point about sociology.

@TheDao Do you read anything from scratch or do you just follow reactionary movements (red pill, MRA etc.)? I think I understand now why you couldn't elaborate on why sociology is supposedly not a science. If you had actually read something about sociology, you would not give this idea of "oppressor" so much moral weight. Sociology deals with people at the group level, and you cannot generalize from the group to the individual. It's not so much that each individual male is intentionally oppressing every female in their life, but rather it's a way of describing a complex, historical, systemic, multi-layered, interactionist equation at the group level.

Realizing relativity doesn't cage you in. It sets you free. Why would you be down and depressed when you're light as a feather? You can't truly be nihilistic when you're radiating love.

I've had some thoughts recently about why I might fear awakening (other than the obvious stuff like attachment). I had this vision of me just walking out in nature with somebody I love and just melting away. I feel that under those conditions, something would just click, like on a deep level, where underlying all the fear of the unknown, there is a deep sense of belonging and groundedness.

In some alternative universe not far from here, JP became famous as a spiritual guru and not a grumpy psychology dad. In many ways he always had that potential imo.

How to stop what?

Listen to his interview with Rupert Spira to see where that conversation would go.

That's such a weird thing to say lol.

Have you seen how Stage Orange people react to that approach? "He is saying a bunch of nothing, talking in riddles, woo-woo spiritual bullshit". There is a reason many people even on this forum don't vibe with people like Sadhguru (and he's not even the worst offender in this field!). I think the "L-mode" approach is not such a strategical mishap as you portray it to be. I think quite to the contrary. Well, we certainly agree there, but wasn't that the main reason for doing the interview in the first place? I remember some people saying that discussions will add depth and nuance to what has already been presented in the 2hr monologues, but 1. that is certainly not the case for first-time interviews (and frankly just the interview format in general), and 2. especially not if you want newbies to follow what is being said.

Seems like this adds to my hypothesis from 2 months ago :

Haha Seems accurate though.

Yes
