What metric?

 

 

By arguably every metric that matters: 

Academic achievement, Investment returns, Decision-making, life expectancy and health. They are murdered and go missing less, they are happier, they have more friends, they are healthier. 

Yet when women lag in something "society needs to do something and it's somehow men's fault" when men lag in something it's because "men are dumb and brutish".

I think it's the elite that is screwing us all and this gender war between men and women is a distraction.

Women are better investors than men – Women's Budget Group https://share.google/AqsoxawVpzZcW6owu

Men take bigger risks and the very few risks that pay off skew the statistics in favor of men. Truth is more guys are sitting at home lonely, gambling away their money while more women are out spending it wisely. 

https://www.apa.org/topics/women-girls/female-leaders-make-work-better

Women handle stress better and make better decisions.

But again when women lag in something it's seen as the fault of socialization and not their inheritant shortcomings. While its the opposite for men so nobody helps them. 

But yes there are still parts of the world where women need empowerment and help for sure.

Actualized Quotes #758 https://www.actualized.org/insights/actualized-quotes-758

This quote inspired me to watch again the Deconstruction of Rationality again. 

A Rationalist if deep down motivated by Fear. Fear of Insanity. At leat this is one think that I felt in some Ayahuasca experiences because depending of how strong the brew is it can take your mind in the brick of losing grip with Reality in a Rational sense.

....

Also I am now in the point where is questioned what consist of an Apple, when apple becomes you when you eat it. 

Well, I know I should contemplate that by myself but I asked Claude for it just to see the word choices it will give since it cant think out of what is scientific consesus:

I will bold the words I think are interesting and beg question.

" Mouth and stomach: structure breaks down. Chewing ruptures the apple's cell walls, and saliva starts mixing. The stomach adds acid and churning, and the apple becomes a slurry (chyme). There's almost no protein or fat to digest, so the stomach's job is mostly mechanical.
Small intestine: the apple's identity ends here. 😂 The apple's sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose) are split into single molecules and carried through the gut wall by specific transporters. At that point it's no longer "apple sugar", just generic fructose and glucose, identical to what would come from any other food. Vitamin C, potassium, and some polyphenols are absorbed the same way.
Liver: reassignment. Everything absorbed goes through the portal vein to the liver, which converts most fructose into glucose, stores some as glycogen, and turns any excess into fat.
Cells: the apple becomes you. Glucose enters your cells and is broken down in the mitochondria. Its carbon leaves mostly as CO₂ through your breath, and its hydrogen ends up as water. The energy released is captured in ATP, which powers your muscles, neurons, and everything else. Some of the carbon is instead used as raw material: ribose for your DNA and RNA, carbon backbones for amino acids, and fat or glycogen stores. Those atoms physically become part of your body.
Colon: the part you can't digest. Pectin and fiber pass intact to the colon, where gut bacteria ferment them into short-chain fatty acids like butyrate. These feed your colon lining and influence inflammation and immunity. The bacteria also transform the polyphenols into compounds you absorb. What's left leaves as stool.
So the apple doesn't get "absorbed" as an apple. It's disassembled down to generic molecules, and then you decide which become fuel (exhaled or excreted) and which become structure. The atoms are interchangeable; what's you is the pattern they get arranged into.

On your dosha: apple is mixed for Pitta-Vata. Its sweet, astringent, cooling quality soothes Pitta, but raw, it's light and drying, which can aggravate Vata. Cooked or stewed with cinnamon or cardamom suits both much better.
What drew you to this question: the biology, or the philosophical edge of where "apple" ends and "me" begins?"

It gave some info about my Dosha because I trained it to give me that whenever I talk about foods.

What? Not sure what you are trying to say but it's more like rape vs murder. Men are murdered at a higher rate. Also the victims of war, emergencies, and jobs site deaths.

It really makes a difference to have a genuine intention of knowing the truth about something. It's genius.

If truth didn't exist, how come you can have that intention?

Even if you deceive yourself into thinking that you have that intention, how can the deception be about something that is not about deception?

How can you counterfeit money that doesn't exist?

This is what we're talking about. Your posts are suggesting investment returns and u.s. male college enrollment rates are equivalents.

Its more that humans are all on their bs. And women have more power now, so have more power to indulge in bs

Even in those countries men are killed at higher rates than women. So how is it a female genocide? 

Although I feel for women in 3rd world countries I'm just countering the narrative that women have it so much worse than men. That's all. 

And yes Leo posted a video about a specific part of the world but many people in other countries use that information to justify anger towards men (and boys) in their home countries which is wrong to do. So there is a connection there between different parts of the world.

@enchanted Where are you getting your stats from? And if men are dying more, why? Are women killing them?

First to get angry loses. Sorry my dude. You lost. And yes capitalized swear words is a show of anger don't try to deny it. 

But to answer your question, I'm trying to cheer Natasha up by saying we all feel like that and women aren't an exception so don't feel too bad.

This is what I mean. You have descended to insults because you run out of rational counterpoints and you are bored. Thus broadcasting to everyone that you have lost the argument. 

If two actualized.org fans can't discuss topics without descending into anger and insult what chance does the rest of the world have? No wonder there is genocides and murder!

This doesn't follow from what you said,  though. 

Saying “Natasha, you're not alone; men also experience terrible forms of disposability and suffering.” can be compassionate. But if we then produce several posts about: male homicide, male war deaths, women outperforming men. Women receiving too much social sympathy & "female genocide” being questionable...
then the rhetorical effect is no longer merely to comfort.

It is redirecting the conversation toward whether women actually have it worse than men.

It's not about that. No one claimed men don't suffer. It's an assumption to think others aren't aware of mens suffering.

Guy, you lied, bald face lying, there's no "rational discussion" with your lies. You're here campaigning in bad faith, being deceitful for an underlying motivation, you deserve worse than insults.
