  1. Having sex will not necessarily make you stop thinking about sex I also found when I quit porn I viewed women less sexually and had less sexual thoughts at times
  2. Please Call Me By My True Names Do not say that I'll depart tomorrow because even today I still arrive. Look deeply: I arrive in every second to be a bud on a spring branch, to be a tiny bird, with wings still fragile, learning to sing in my new nest, to be a caterpillar in the heart of a flower, to be a jewel hiding itself in a stone. I still arrive, in order to laugh and to cry, in order to fear and to hope. The rhythm of my heart is the birth and death of all that are alive. I am the mayfly metamorphosing on the surface of the river, and I am the bird which, when spring comes, arrives in time to eat the mayfly. I am the frog swimming happily in the clear pond, and I am also the grass-snake who, approaching in silence, feeds itself on the frog. I am the child in Uganda, all skin and bones, my legs as thin as bamboo sticks, and I am the arms merchant, selling deadly weapons to Uganda. I am the twelve-year-old girl, refugee on a small boat, who throws herself into the ocean after being raped by a sea pirate, and I am the pirate, my heart not yet capable of seeing and loving. I am a member of the politburo, with plenty of power in my hands, and I am the man who has to pay his "debt of blood" to my people, dying slowly in a forced labor camp. My joy is like spring, so warm it makes flowers bloom in all walks of life. My pain is like a river of tears, so full it fills the four oceans. Please call me by my true names, so I can hear all my cries and laughs at once, so I can see that my joy and pain are one. Please call me by my true names, so I can wake up, and so the door of my heart can be left open, the door of compassion. -Thich Nhat Hanh

  5. I’m not sure it’s a reliable study, the sample isn’t necessarily representative of the average conservative or liberal.
  6. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ6c36XQ5RM its possible the first girl is triggering childhood neurosis inside of you, perhaps you disowned the part of your personality that is wild and a tiger and are drawn to it in here
  7. E.O. Wilson was a American biologist who pasted away December 2021. Wilson has been called "the father of sociobiology" and "the father of biodiversity". Scientific American published an article about his legacy, pointing out his contributions but also accusing him of racist beliefs and suggesting his legacy harmed equity in silence. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-complicated-legacy-of-e-o-wilson/ However, Bangladeshi writer of population genetics Razib Khan released a counter article criticizing the scientific American article as false and using his death for attention. https://razib.substack.com/p/setting-the-record-straight-open However some of the co signers have denounced Razib and asked for their signature to be removed If you read both the articles. What is your opinion? Was E.O. Wilson racist and that tarnished his legacy, or are these claims exaggerated and he should instead be remembered positively for his contribution to science? Were the co-signers wrong to pull their names, or is this a good example of standing by your beliefs?

  9. The only way I see a genocide happening is if India goes to war with Pakistan and Muslim extremists inside India start doing terror attacks so the government can use that as an excuse to attack the entire population. Outside of that extreme scenario I think at worst it will be some discrimination and mob violence,

  11. you’re glad Torero committed suicide after all his income was cut off when his PayPal and hosting was banned even though he did nothing illegal nor actually broke those sites guidelines and glad Addy Agame spent a year in jail and was labeled a sex offender in the media, so he will never get a normal job most likely, despite the court system saying he didn’t commit any crime nor any sex offense?
  12. Don’t. If you just imitate behaviors of what you think is good it comes off as robotic and has other downsides. Your focus should be on expressing who you really are and your gentlemanlyiness should naturally flow from that.
  13. Just because you don’t like a spiritual group does not make it a cult.

  15. 1. Childhood lead poisoning is correlated to criminal activity later in life. In the USA children continue to be exposed to lead especially poor or minority children. 2. Fatherlessness is correlated to criminal behavior later in life. The out of wedlocke birth rate swelled in the USA up to 40 percent, and out of wedlocke birth rates are correlated to fatherlessness. Children raised fatherless are a minority but still exist and are thus more likely to turn to crime than otherwise. It is more common among the working class and certain minorities. 3. There is a theory called the Ferguson effect which noted that after various riots in Ferguson there was an increased crime rate. The theory is that after a riot or a heavy amount of public and media criticism of police, police become less bold and more careful to avoid dramatics but this results in renewed criminal activity. 4. There is a general societal stability theory of crime. There was a high crime rate after the 60’s ending in the late 90’s. Though some believe this was because lead in gasoline increased lead poisoning in children certain meta analysis found lead poisoning may have only caused at most 36 percent of the increase. It’s possible a general lack of stability in society results in more misbehavior and crime rose after the instability of the 60’s to 80’s (Vietnam war failure, King assassination riots, various assassinations, etc.) It’s possible the pandemic as well as George Floyd riots are recreating this trend. Indeed not Just crime, but a lot of negative behavior is increasing.

  17. https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/glasgow-pick-up-artist-conviction-quashed-a4551016.html similar case, another pickup artist the BBC went after, Addy Agame, was sentenced to 2 years for harassment and put in the sex offenders registry. However after being in jail for a year, he appealed the case and won and was let out. The judges said just asking women for their number on video shouldn’t result in jail time, and the police treated him unfairly potentially because of the media pressure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTc0GfJXhzU
  18. https://www.girlschase.com/article/beloved-day-game-coach-tom-torero-has-died more details from this girls chase article basically it seems despite the bbc journalist admitting he did nothing illegal, she contacted all social media, web hosting, and payment processes Torero was using and pressured them into dropping him. Torero already had bad financial issues prior to this and seemed to kill himself because of this.
  19. It is Machiavellian game playing, such game playing can turn off high quality individuals and attract immature, insecure, or predatory people. Be careful.
  20. If you don’t believe in freedom of speech for speech you hate, you don’t believe in freedom of speech. You either believe in free speech or you believe an authority should be allowed to shut down speech it chooses too. There is no option of saying you believe in free speech aside from speech you hate.
  21. Learn to meet your own emotional needs and heal the part of your personality that feels unworthy, it will relax and let the other parts come more to the forefront
