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.

This is because conscious development feels like death.

And most people learn to be conformists from their peers and parents without understanding that facing the fear of death is crucial in life. Because therein lies freedom.

And if you say this people will confuse it for physical death which shows how unconscious most humans are because they cannot understand this simple distinction.

It makes me wonder whether one of the hidden challenges of being a public spiritual teacher is having to live with your earlier expressions.

As we mature, our understanding evolves. Concepts deepen, nuance increases, and what once felt ultimate can later feel incomplete — even naïve. There is no final summit. There is only refinement.

Perhaps that makes it uniquely difficult to be someone like you — because growth happens publicly. And growth often includes outgrowing your own previous certainty.

I agree that people like Leo are rare, but he is also human and may not fully live by what he is teaching. Abstract and advanced ideas and understanding of society is one thing; surviving in society is another.

He also may be trapped in human bullshit he isn't aware of yet. We all are, to some extent. All we know about him is what he shares, we don't live with him as closely as we live with our family or friends.

I disagree with the statement that society fits women better. I don't think so. Society is still very patriarchal and capitalistic. Even in progressive countries where there are more equal rights, its framework is still patriarchal and capitalistic, driven by masculine values.

It actually has to be, because the world is a global village with the same capitalistic and patriarchal values. If it were matriarchal, it would be centered around mothers and children, community, creativity, rituals, and living more in tune with nature rather than fighting it. more open to accpet chaos rather than figting it.

Patirachy loves order, artificial herarchy, submission at the expense of expression, hates creativity that isn't profitable.

Even the most advanced countries still value work and endless growth.

Women still do unpaid domestic labor and childcare, which keeps them poorer than men, very orange, very masculine still.

Yes, capitalistic marketing exploits feminism to sell. They use green ideas to manipulate the youth and sell products, and it appears like women are controlling everything, but this is not the case. Women are still oppressed by narrow beauty standards and unpaid labor.

Women work more than men and get paid much less than men.

Most of the wealth in the world is held by men.

There is still a lot of misogyny, especially among the youth.

Most health studies were done on men, so most medicine suits male anatomy and physiology rather than women’s.

Women are more mistreated in the healthcare system.

Society suits male anatomy and hormonal systems more than women’s.

The highest-paying jobs are considered masculine and have a majority of males, as opposed to jobs with a female majority, which are usually low-paying.

The porn industry is objectifying women, training men and women to see women as objects rather than human beings. Older women are treated worse than older men.

It is very difficult and dangerous for a woman to be truly feminine in a patriarchal society. We have to become like men to survive.

Actually, I would argue that there is a war on femininity. The problem is not that men became more feminine, it is that we all became men. Men are men with privilege because they have male genitals, and women are men without the privilege.

Women are now better at being men than men themselves. they have no other choice. Being a truly feminine woman, not in a shallow and performative way but in true embodied way, is a privillage that most women can't afford. Maybe only those who are wealthy. 

When everybody is a man, no one is a man, because society has killed femininity, which many people still perceive as bad. Even you, as advanced as you may see yourself, appear to have some underlying prejudice against it, because you were socialized this way. I, as a woman, was socialized that way too, that femininity is bad.

When there is excess masculinity in society, wihtout femininity to balance it, there is also no masuclinity. Just some gray weird thing in between. This is where we all are.

The solution is to weolcome the feminine with open arms. Who dares? No the coward men in this society. They are so coward that they will never do that hahaha. Too bad.

This is funny, that you men here usually present yourselves as authorities without anyone asking you to.

You are self-proclaimed experts and coaches. You also like to repeat the same sentences you hear from Leo, like “contemplate this,” as if you have said something so profound and beyond regular people’s understanding. This approach ironically closes you off from the truth. Maybe you should contemplate this if you are such a contemplative guy?

Even if you and I contemplate this and come to different conclusions, who said that your conclusion is more truthful than mine? Just because Leo said so?

Those who haven't deconstructed patriarchy are ignorant, privillged and conformists. They can be machos, nice guys, conservatives, or liberals, body buliders, soy boys, soy boys who are body buliders, they can be young or old, gay, trans etc etc. They can be everywhere and everything, they are the vast majority.

Why are you calling incompetent men “pussies” as if this is something bad? You actually came into this world from a pussy. Pussy is actually a compliment. Delivering babies is difficult labor.

Men who have truly deconstructed patriarchy, not only for virtue signaling, are rare, because this is very difficult work for a man. Even Leo didn't do that. It is inconvenient for the ego. If it is difficult for a woman so for a man is hundred more times difficult. 

Most men don't do that, even liberal men. Even men who call themselves feminists, many of them do that only to access women but deep down they are still very mysogenistic. The men who truly deconstruct patriarchy are very rare and are usually at peace with both their masculinity and femininity.
