    A: all my sleep was accompanied with nightmares M: It's alright honey They're just dreams and they're gone and I'm right here with you A: I feel like you won't be around for too long My family will do something to separate us M: Don't worry about it honey We'll find a way to keep in touch Don't pressure yourself or overthink it We'll figure something out A: But wouldn't that hurt you? I don't want you to get hurt because of me M: What matters is that you stay safe and healthy The rest is details that will sort themselves out A: I feel frightened by everything whenever I'm near them I feel watched and monitored to the bone I feel suffocated M: That breaks my heart And I can't say it enough but you're completely right to feel this way I hope you feel better soon ... 💔

  11. Winner, winner. God / Survival generates perpetual diversity and specialization. That’s what men and women are: co-evolving, symbiotic survival specializations.
  12. See... framing it as "strong versus weak" adds more extremes and polarity to the mix than is actually there. People can often hyper-polarize these things because polarity is sexy. But the reality is actually close together if you look at things in context. So people often compare men versus women as the polar extremes like men and women exist in a vacuum... when contextually, male and female strength exists pretty close together relative to the environment nomadic people were in... which was the wilderness. The reality is that women had to be very strong to fulfill the survival roles in the group... but men had to be a bit stronger to fulfill their survival roles in the group. That's why we evolved that way. The issue is when people see men and women as polar extremes as though there isn't far more similarity than difference in our capacities. The biggest divergence is with strength. I think the average man is about 60% stronger than the average woman. And men are also a bit faster and have quicker recovery. But it doesn't mean that women lack strength and can't be fast in their own right. And it also doesn't mean that nomadic women were prevented from fulfilling the hunting role in tribes... which often doesn't really require speed or strength. So, men and women exist on a variety of over-lapping bell curves with one another. But that's not as sexy to some people. A lot of guys like to feel like there's more polarity than there actually is... because supernormal stimuli is more sexually exciting. But it doesn't make for a very accurate worldview... or view of women in general.

    A: Yesterday I opened up with my aunt Told her that he was the one who gave me safety and contentment She was amazed I cried so deeply She made me promise to block you But I can't M: Why not? A: I don't know Something inside me would feel guilty if I did M: It's alright honey Do whatever feels right for you And I'll be right here, always for you A: They asked around about you and people told them that you are a terrible person I don't know who those people are M: They're smearing me just so you hate me But it's alright All I want is for you to be safe and well And right now I think you need to rest You deserve some calm after everything you've been through Once you rest enough, everything will be clear as day ... 💔

  15. But those tradeoffs aren't a choice. And they aren't trade-offs that are made in relation to the opposite gender... they're made evolutionarily in response to the environment. And all nomadic humans (men and women) had to be strong and resilient to exist in the wilderness... as the environment was difficult to survive for everyone. A weak man or a weak woman (or even a weak child) would not survive. There was no space for weakness. So, our wiring isn't based on this idea of trade-offs between genders. It's based on whatever made our male and female ancestors most fit to survive. It's just that those traits that men and women evolved to survive in the wilderness, are currently coded as Masculine in our modern-day framework. But our nomadic wiring is often clashing with our more recent agrarian and industrial ideas of beauty that are associated with status and wealth... where having a weak, dainty wife that need not work is/was a status symbol. So, women share the same evolutionary wiring as men in the sense that we evolved to survive as a group in the wilderness. That was 97% of human history. So, that's baked right into both male and female physiology and psychology. And the women who were the most fit to survive in thew wilderness were strong, resilient, hefty, and tough. Even in non-wealthy agrarian communities, women who were the most fit also were very tough... and had to do a bunch of farm labor everyday. It's only in the industrial and post-industrial era that women (and men) can afford to be a bit softer because the societal infrastructure allows for softness. And not everyone has to be super physically fit and strong to survive.
  16. Yes, it IS a liability and survival risk! Women’s relative weakness is exactly why men needed more strength. That’s what tradeoffs means.
  17. How do you even measure such a thing as severity ? We could also view your statement here as disrespect for the severity of Gaza suffering.
  18. Softly by Claudio Constantini.
  19. If we closely analyze nature, we notice specializations over specializations. That is a feature of nature, or God if you want. Endless division and specialization.
  20. You keep saying things like this. But can you quote some examples here?
  21. someone has to swim against the stream.
  22. I mean that if you want to be strong, resilient, independent and a protector, all those things come with tradeoffs. Being strong requires a tradeoff. Being resilient requires a tradeoff. So on and so forth. You do so at the expense of other traits and attributes. This is the case even if you want to become “balanced”. “Balanced” is a tradeoff.
  23. Exactly. And you need both in order to properly mature. Especially men needing healthy masculinity right now.
  24. The guys in this debate have a huge disadvantage because because it's progressive and acceptable in society to celebrate women. While at the same time criticizing men is also seen as progressive and is popular thing to do. While criticizing women is very distasteful and feels like a something a chauvinist pig would do.
  25. They can be adapted to some degree. But even still, not without tradeoffs. If you want to become more balanced in your masc / fem, go ahead. I think that’s part of mature development. But it won’t be without tradeoffs.

  27. Psychedelics can help you reconnect with your childlike curiosity and discover what genuinely excites you. That can be a great foundation for finding your purpose. But they can also weaken the ego-driven ambition you might actually need to pursue it. Have you figured out what your purpose is? And are you actively working towards it? If psychedelic experiences repeatedly give you profound insights, but your actual human life remains unchanged, they may have become a form of avoidance. I think the answer to your question lies somewhere in there.
