Being a real philosopher is a dirty job

[Alexop]

@Lila9 Leo wrote it on his blog. Contemplate it. Of course there are women who kill it in philosophy. It is a generalization. Men are more passionate and nerdy about abstractization and "figuring out shit", more autistic, more lone wolfs. This of course if they are properly trained and forged into manhood, because, as I mentioned, we have an epidemic of men-pussies. Women are killing them in almost all domains right now. 

You see... This is why I feel so reluctant to pursue serious philosophy teaching. You will just get tons of backlash and shit shows because you threaten people's egos.

If you are interested in teaching philosophy, isn’t it about teaching people how to think critically, first and foremost?

From my view, teaching philosophy is more about teaching people to ask the right questions and letting them arrive at answers through more questions, rather than serving them ready-made answers, right? This is how philosophy was originally practiced. And, of course, not with just anyone, but with people who are genuinely interested in philosophy.

Do you have an issue with being challenged? 

Regarding the truth: Isn't it impossible to access truth if one is selfish? People are selfish, but I would argue that men are, on average, more selfish than women.

I believe I confronted Leo about this earlier. The masculine doesn’t care more about truth than the feminine; it is just that they have different paths.

If the masculine seeks truth through questioning and logical pursuit, attempting to be as detached from emotions and bias as possible, then the feminine seeks truth through knowing, intuition, the body, and direct “downloads” from the source.

Ultimately, the perfect philosopher masters both.

Just because most philosophers historically were men (mainly white men) doesn’t mean anything about innate ability.

They had the privilege to be alone because they were surrounded by women, if not a wife, then a mother, sister, or other family relative, who met their physical needs. This saved them significant time. Those women may have been brilliant, with great lost potential, but they had to do domestic labor because of strict gender roles and systemic oppression, at the expense of their personal pursuits.

I belive that the epidemic of what you call “men-pussies” (men who havn't deconstructed patriarchy, in my jargon) exists because many men refuse to embrace their feminine side, which includes their humaness, their eros (life energy), they are too attached to the masculine energy (logos). 

Even the stoics were more in touch with their eros. 

They were socialized to believe that everything related to femininity or women is bad and opposite to what it means to be masculine.

So if there is a majority of women in academia, suddenly men dismiss academia as “bad” or “not masculine” simply because women are there. Everything women do, some men do the opposite, believing it will make them masculine, which ironalicaly, makes them more passive, when in reality, they should look up to women in order to become their full selves, they should be open to integrete their natural combination of feminine and masculine energy, which is what women usually do more.

Of course good philosophy is about teaching people how to think for themselves. This is why I want to be a coach. I want to let them contemplate the answers. That is the safest bet with most people. I also reverse engineer Leo's and other philosophers ideas, I contemplate how they came to those conclusions and that is also huge. Some pople are just gifted and extremely ambitious.

I never seen a guy like Leo, he is a machine. Most guys I met were just disappointingly stupid, maybe this is why I have this frustration about guys.  The ones I made friends with I did because they were interested in self-improvement. But they disappointed me one by one chickening out and getting lost in human bullshit. 

And there is a big reason for why men are so shit because we are so different. And today's society fits women better, even if there still are remnants of the patriarchy here and there. Men develop in challenging environments, where they are constantly pushed and held accountable by their peers, not in this nany society that we live right now.

I let you contemplate deeper how men and women tend to approach truth. I got bored to spin this subject around. This is what happens when we disconnect from our natural survival environment, we start spinning shit up.

Not exactly. Those who haven't deconstructed patriarchy are machos. You can deconstruct your macho programming and still be a pussy as a man. What we notice right now is two big types of men: machos and "nice" guys. Both of them come from a deep conformism instead of conscious development. Machos are masculinity without refinement and feminine integration, nice guys are just boysh guys who remained in their teens for life because they were not properly forged into manhood. It is basically femininity bias applied across the board. You can't just equalize something that is biologically different. If you don't let them be heroes they won't be villagers, they will become degenerates. If you don't let them do more for you, they will do less. If you don't let them be men, they will be children.
