  1. Past hour
  2. The people in these tribes are often much skinnier because they are very active and dont have abundance of food. So the women there also have smaller breasts on average.
  3. Israeli leadership is so self-biased, its baffling to those observing it from the outside. And the further right (wing) you go, the more self-biased the leadership becomes until it becomes clear that their self-bias is literally distorting their reality.
  4. good point.

    I'm starting to see the value in psychedelics again. I guess each person has a different ebb and flow regarding this and not doing them.
  6. Women struggle to run even when not pregnant. Big titties don't run well. All the fast women look like men. No titties.
  7. you are cherry-picking. We are talking about early tribes where they hunted with wooden spears. They chased animals for tens of km. We are not talking about modern day tribes. Modern tribes have bows and arrows, Our biologies are still tens maybe hundreds of millennia old. You can run while pregnant. Is it optimal? No.
  8. I'm not sure why these fears are irrational. Can you define what an irrational fear is versus a rational fear? Which fears do you think are irrational and how do you know? Also I definitely agree on intrusive thoughts. I have those all the time and I can't help it. It includes intrusive thoughts of harming others. I was told it was either OCD or ADHD. The actual diagnosis is likely multiple, but I still want to feel safe and acceptable. I also did discuss this with my therapists and psychiatrists too. Some say PTSD, others say CPTSD it more accurate. I tried therapy, but I am now thinking I need to stop trying to change myself under constant existential stakes. I don't know what I would actually need, but finding a therapist that would be good for me is hard. There are insurance barriers and rare specialties required for me that I can't access. This is why the mental health system is broken and can't necessarily help people in my position.

    I don't have any magical tricks for doing research or finding videos. The trick is looking through a lot of different videos. I only share a portion of what I watch, so it looks good because you don't see the bad.
  10. What a ragebait
  11. @Nivsch Thanks for keeping us posted.
  12. Israel is the only democracy in the Middle East.
  13. Women usually cook and clean better than men. @Emerald
  14. True
  15. @Leo Gura Hey Leo, to resolve your issue. Please publish part 1 and then 2 of your book. I’ll buy both. pinky promise 😎
  16. @Judy2 nice historical examples. It is good to know that wives murdering husbands has become less common due to allowing them the freedom to divorce a husband. It sounds like although abusive relationships are still awful the ability to divorce is better than forcing people to stay together. Society must allow these relationships to end when they don't work even if divorce court is its own nightmare. It is still preferable to not being able to go to divorce court.
  17. I think he was doing a bit of projecting there.

  19. It is confirmed that women see more color nuances, it might be because they adapted to better seeing which berries are ripped.
  20. If you do development work, you can develop all 4 of your cognitive functions to a strong degree IMO. What I do not know is if you can develop the 4 cognitive functions outside your stack. I haven't focused on that yet.

    @Leo Gura about the egyptology post, You’ve got to have some technique for finding these videos! One of my most anticipated videos was “how to do research” that you promised one time. Is that coming one day, maybe as a blog post?
  22. LMAO, how can someone read this without laughing? If bias was an article. "Ocobock said scientists have to be extremely careful about how modern-day bias can seep into one’s interpretations of the past. She cautioned that researchers have to be aware of their own biases and make sure they are asking the proper questions so the questions don’t lead them down the road of looking for what it is they want to see." I think this is the best advice you can give to yourself Ms. Ocowoke...
  23. Can you quote some examples from this thread?
  24. Yes. That is why it is the helping function.
  25. It's interesting, when men do something better than women we attributed it to male privilege and unfair biases. But when women do something better we attributed to women being superior. And also there is an implied narrative that this whole time society was mistaken and it's women who can do everything better. Women played the ultimate Uno reverse card.
  26. Yes. I saw that he said that. But I was talking about his original claim that "Women are optimized for motherhood. Men are optimized for providing". And saying that "women excel in other things too" doesn't mean that he doesn't view men as even better optimized for those roles that women excel at. And it also doesn't mean that he sees the roles that women excel at as equal in societal value to those that men excel at. For example, he could say "obviously women excel at certain things"... and those things that he doesn't see as valuable. Or he could say "obviously women excel at certain things"... and believe that men are still better at those things. So, the reason I didn't address it is because I'm working with his actual claim... which I that "Women are optimized for motherhood. Men are optimized for providing". And believing that "women excel at some things" doesn't mean that he stopped believing "Women are optimized for motherhood (one thing). Men are optimized for providing (many things)". So, I stick to the original claim... as his softening statements doesn't mean that he isn't claiming that men are superior with the majority of human endeavors.
