  1. Why are the worst people often the most wealthy? Wealth manifestation gurus would tell you that they’re more spiritual, higher vibration than you. That they just allow wealth in better than you. The moral gaslighting is insane.
  2. By definition, obviously it does not. A severe economic crisis means most people will be financially hurting.
  3. What is this word cloud of? Social media posts?
  4. Positive experiences with men could be healing for some feminists. But that's not what is going on in this thread. Even having a goal of wanting to convert feminists is already problematic.
  5. Some might account for brain structure. But they might also say something like "Ted Bundy wasn't born a sadistic killer. No child grows up wanting to hurt others. The lack of love he received in his childhood, plus his patriarchal conditioning that women are inferior turned him into a killer. But that wasn't the real Ted Bundy. If Ted had a different childhood and had been taught differently, we would have seen the true Ted Bundy".
  6. In conjunction with inventing rights, the leftist also often believes that human evil has to be taught. Evil is not seen as something innate to humans. It's always social conditioning, trauma, lack of education, patriarchy or some other malevolent force blocking the inherent goodness of people. Which is of course is partially true, but still misunderstands the situation.
  7. If you actually cared about that, you’d start with empathizing and trying to understand the feminist perspective. Which you have not done.
  8. @SmartMonkey Yes Marshall Rosenberg is the original source material.
  9. That only works to a certain degree. Being non-needy and peaceful is not enough to build a serious relationship. It takes very deliberate intent.
  10. Most likely not, as long as you have proper expectations about your options and you're willing to work for it. But strictly speaking, you cannot know if it's futile until you either succeed or fail. That's the uncertainty of life.
  11. Why even have this as a goal?
  12. Curious if anyone has read Intimate Communion by David Deida. It's the best book I've found on what a spiritual romantic relationship might look like.
  13. I will say that if spiritually advanced humans can't find a way to have at least some relationships, you can kiss any hopes of a highly conscious civilization goodbye.
  14. Start with considering in what ways conservatives are actually right.
  15. You are not separate from any sort of higher beings.
  16. A woman's trust is without a doubt the most amazing thing to me. The older I've gotten, the more I appreciate it. I also really appreciate / am mildly jealous of how rich their inner experience seems. When I interact with a feminine woman, it's like she's so deeply tuned into every aspect of her experience. I am like a dead rock compared to her.
  17. Not good enough that most health problems come from bad politics. I'm aware of all the hospital crap, I've actually worked in health care. It doesn't change the fact that if you stripped all the BS bureaucracy, you would not solve the majority of health problems. We don't have that level of control. In the future, perhaps we will have more control.
  18. No, the problem is way more fundamental than that. We're just not that good at medicine.
  19. The reality is that "root causes" cannot always be identified or addressed. It's often just a lot more pragmatic to address symptoms. This is a not a fault of doctors per se, it's just the limitations of medicine and our abilities.
  20. Fair. But also, people inflating their stage of development does not invalidate the existence of higher stages of development. I would not let people’s misunderstanding poison a genuinely useful lens.
  21. Even if we had the development for the most utopian leftist ideals, I still imagine there would be many flaws. How can you possibly privilege a finite value like egalitarianism and expect utopia? Utopia cannot just be equality, because finite equality is not absolutely good.
  22. 23 is way too young to expect to have mastered all of this, especially if you have known mental illness. Just put your head down and keep chipping away at it, best you can.
