Pedophila is involuntary. Molesting children is voluntary, and demands no sympathy. It often isn't even that impulsive, it's calculated and methodical grooming. The most unsympathetic crime imaginable. If it's a pre-pubescent child being molested, then the pedo deserves at least 25+ Years at least in a rehab focused prison, with restricted living conditions on release. -
The issue with that is women’s actual desires. They are attracted to the confident smooth fun guy, not the boring rich guy. They also want to be treated kindly, but will often find the kind guys behavior simping and lame. Its a bit like imagine as a guy you had tons of girls you thought were ugly but they were trying to buy your affection with money and kindness, but the only girls you were attracted to were seeing a bunch of other guys and were mean to you. They’re also passive so they’re often at the whim of others direction. Attractive women sometimes have some of the most frustrating dating lives despite all the options.

I've made this exact same point multiple times yet it triggers everyone on both sides. I just cannot accept one definition as objective, and I'm still stuck as to what I should acknowledge as a woman on a day to day basis. I'm detached from any definition. Whenever I say something similar to you as above, like "there's no objective woman", either side can get triggered. I just don't feel like I'm emotionally driven enough to accept either sides ideas/definitions, this is how I often feel when I ever decide to talk about politics or social issues, I piss everyone off because I'm trying to be accurate above all things and that really jacks people off. Everyone feels far too full of feelings and also driven by what's less likely to get them hated by their peers. If someone asks me "do you think a trans woman is a woman", I'm like "yeah... if you want". I don't know what I should consider a woman.

I actually find the commitment and practice part to be much more rewarding than improvisation. I mean from the present moment we improvise, I do photography. I often just take my camera and go film. With a little distance and solitude though you can add some rhyme and reason to it. I definitely think there's room for both when making excellent art. Releasing control, letting things work out while simultaneously having intentions and your compass calibrated towards your truths.

Y'all yap way too much go get a job or something -
I’ve been single quite a few years now. My last and only relationship was very unorthodox to say the least. I don’t know if the following is truly the case, but it seems so to me, based on family and friends. Basically you as a guy, go on a bunch of dates. To restaurants, malls, Christmas markets and a bunch of other “boring” stuff to keep your girlfriend happy. Ideally this works, but it’s not usual that’s it doesn’t. Is this really what that’s like? If so how often do you need to do this? Or maybe I’m just picking poorly if I don’t enjoy this sort of stuff

Great read, thanks for sharing. @Basman the longer a cognitive bias is present the more embedded it becomes. The bias is feeding a belief founded on feeling and emotion, repetition & reward. And like you raised, it becomes a cognitive shortcut that never gets challenged. Shame is usually a key driver, but these sorts of thinking patterns also serve a sense of competence, belonging and control. The shame factor comes into it when the belief is tied to an identity that makes being wrong feel being being 'less'. Which is a threat. And threat management is probably the dominant driver once identity is involved like this....

Regarding rage: it's not the F word, it's the repeated accusatory to an unknown "You" who is doing or speaking something wrong. Also regarding rage: frustration is within the spectrum of rage. Frustration can be insidious, particularly if the individual insists on prohibited themselves from ... ... permissible pleasures. To be clear, my interpretation of "Fuck it / Fuck Everything" is upthread. Very briefly: it means the individual is fed-up. -
Thanks!

From my observations of religious and cult followers, they confuse awakening with a hypnotic state. They love that state because it's not ordinary; it's something that they can anchor themselves to. It's their proof that they are on the right path. Of course they are right! Hypnosis works! However, they don't understand that in hypnotic states, the mind is very suggestible, which is the purpose of hypnosis. What makes those people hooked is the intense emotional experiences and clarity of who they are and their own purpose with those suggested ideas that hypnosis can provide. It's an intelligent trickery. People believing in BS doesn't say much.

You are awareness and you are aware of being aware. Just as you are conscious of your own consciousness. If you weren't one could never asks these questions about oneself or anything else. This is the beauty and magic of infinite consciousness.

Definitely. I feel nauseous because of it. Fuck them. My heart is open to abused children and victims of sick predators, but not to the predators' sick desires and weird fetishes. I probably will not be a Buddha in this incarnation, and I am okay with that. -

Because it is easiest to just ignore facts that undermine one's ideology and act like they are not real. Otherwise you would be forced to reconsider your beliefs. I said it before, the most ideological people on this forum are progressive people. They can be so pigheaded it's embarrassing. I think they see themselves as superior so they think they don't have to check their epistemics, which is by the way a big reason why woke got so big among academics and elites. The managerial class get to feel morally superior while completely ignoring general systemic inequality (class). Also big reason why Twitter and Reddit psychos are so "liberal". They never miss a cheap gotcha.

@Natasha Tori Maru Okay the first time I read it, half-way was enough for me. Reading it the second time, all the way down, I truly hope it indeed is jEsTeRmaxxing. Jeez, I cant keep up with all these maxxing terms. I’m gonna just JackMeOffMaxxing.

@Miguel1 I suspect there could be some jestermaxxing in @Questioning Mark's post

Awareness never tells itself it is aware, it can’t because it’s already self illuminating. It’s too close to itself to look back at itself. Being knowingly aware via direct experience is still a mental construct appearing within awareness. Not awareness which neither appears or disappears. Knowledge can only point to the illusory nature of reality, in that it’s this knowing that cannot be known, for that which is known knows nothing. The known is a fiction, not real. While the real and the fiction sound similar, awareness ( real) is the "viewing screen," while self-consciousness is a "character" on that screen ( fiction) -

Just because I intellectually and cognitively understand and empathise with a pedophile, does not mean I risk my own morals of the matter. It is a detached understanding . Different to affective and feeling empathy - where we feel for another's suffering without the understating. Real power is mastering the two axis' of empathy, and not getting swept up into moral judgement, but understanding it. -
Natasha Tori Maru replied to Monster Energy's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Just because I am putting forth an argument for a topic, does not mean I do not understand the other side of it. I did not state I have no empathy for the one judging the pedophile. I understand this stance also - and I feel and understand greater empathy for those who suffer the acts of pedophiles, and the widespread damage they do to society. I lean on the side of rebuking and feeling disgusted by pedophilia. As I stated at the start of the thread. Careful what assumptions and inferences you make. This is a purely intellectual debate for me, despite the tragedy of the general existence of pedophiles. And the moral consequences. I merely illustrate perspective and want to investigate all sides. -
@Questioning Mark Bruh. Delete this. I promise you Leo will puke a little in his mouth when he reads this. And besides, you should go and see his original thumbnails on youtube when he first started out. The man has grown out of that game, and has more important things to focus on now.
