But this is a total cop-out. Having drive for Awakening is 90% of the problem. You have constructed exactly the "aunt has balls" scenario. Yes, if women had balls they would Awaken at the same rate to men. Not having balls is the thing in question.

Change it to Absolute Blue!

Yeah, well. The reason I got where I got is because I am blunt. I don't beat around the bush. I know it turns some people off, but I can't change my whole personality style to suit soft people. This work demands a certain seriousness and ruthlessness in attitude. Otherwise you will be mired in human bias.

That was my plan. I tried that. But it totally does not work because they ask distracting questions and the conversation naturally flows into other areas. Just to get through my 4 min disclaimer as a conversation with them would take 2 hours. 4 mins for the content of that disclaimer is actually insanely efficient and fast. Most people won't understand the content in that disclaimer in 10 years of intellectual work. That's how efficient my disclaimer is. But no one appreciates that. People complain about me being long, but then they waste 2 hrs talking in circles about nonsense. Everything I say is actually the shortest path to Infinity. But people think they know better. There is no more efficient use of time than my videos. Everything else is wasting years of your life thinking in shallow circles and getting nowhere.

They said it was inappropriate for the format of their show. They don't want monologues.

Dude, that idea never even crossed my mind. That's YOUR idea. I have zero interest in her romantically. Pay more attention to what your mind is spinning and why.

It is not necessarily a measure of capacity but just the total picture of the situation. If most women are culturally steered away from truth-seeking then that is part of why fewer women Awaken. That doesn't mean this couldn't change in the future, but it is the current situation. And you can't just take cultural norms for granted. Cultural norms also reflect deep aspects of feminine needs and desires. Culturally women are steered away from technical science because that is not suitable for most women. That is not what they want or need. Truth-seeking is less of a feminine need. You will notice that the women who do truth-seeking are more masculine for it. They are not your typical girly girl. They are exceptions to the rule. It is kind of odd to see a woman doing hardcore truth-seeking. Whereas it doesn't feel as odd to see a man doing it. You can blame that on sexism, but there is more to it than that.

@How to be wise You have a very odd relationship with me. Notice you are always posting some cynical take, and they are often completely off base. This is not helpful for understanding the things I communicate. You got some kind of attitude with me that is skewing how you see me. You take an innocent post and twist it into some perversion.

I will not be discussing evil any more in this thread. That is off topic. Here is a spicy interview they did recently with a dogmatic and arrogant scientist. It shows how openminded they are. They are very good at questioning and challenging mainstream narratives. They were much less challenging of me than this guy. They saw me as reasonable. I didn't say much they disagreed with. But we mostly stayed out of discussing deep science.

For acne? Whey protein causes A LOT of acne. Gotta stop taking whey.

Your mind remembers things easily when they are related to your life purpose. Remembering requires meaning and significance. The information must be significant to your higher goals. Not just random scientific or historical facts. That's why you forgot 99% from school. None of it was meaningful to your life goals.

We don't have the data. I would guess men more than women, and deeper. Because men are more interested in these sorts of matters, and willing to sacrifice more for truth. Most monks are men, as an example. Nuns are rarer. Think of how many women vs men do Zen. There are also powerful cultural forces at play. Women are expected and told to care for children, not pursue truth. Truth-seeking is a masculine-biased activity. It suits the masculine better because the masculine is more ruthless, direct, blunt, ambitious, proactive, goal-oriented, lone-wolf, emotionally detached. If you could compare the number of monks vs nuns in the world, this would give you a rough percentage estimate.

I am saying you will eventually start to transcend ambition. I am not telling you to not be ambitious. Again, just pointing out its illusory nature. It is different than making distinctions. You will never transcend making distinctions. But chasing ambition can be a real case of a donkey chasing a carot on a stick. Eventually the donkey wakes up.

It didn't trigger them, but they wanted a conversation rather than a monologue. I don't blame them. But they don't appreciate how tricky this work is. The format is not well-suited for long disclaimers. It's just a limitation of the format that I had to accept. I can't control it like I do my own videos.

Well, I am very skeptical of any stories about him. I do treat it as myth.
