I am talking about the pogroms and about the holocaust ? Like if you study standard history they seem to be no clear reason other than just "evil". However this is not a serious answer. So the question becomes: why ?

@Leo Gura But doesn't pick up teaches you to have masculine and manly qualities which can be considered a form of gender performance ?

@Emerald I cannot agree more.

@Leo Gura What do you think ?

Gender theory teaches us that gender is performative. Pick up theory teaches us that seduction is about your behavior more than about your looks or possessions. If we intersect both insights, and say that straight feminine women are attracted to masculine men, then the behavior of that man determines if he's a man aka if he's masculine which determines whether he's going to attract the feminine women he wants. In essence seduction from the male perspective, is about creating a fiction of masculinity through behavioral mastery, to then perform and embody the masculine man ideal that attracts women. Even though in essence gender is fluid and non binary.

I just finished watching his movie : Orlando, my political biography. It inspired me to read the book Orlando of Virginia Woolf, which deals with the subjectivity and fluidity of time and gender. Very fascinating.

Here’s a revolutionary idea: By making reality and imagination one. And the mind at the source of existence. We can imagine historians as the ones having lived through centuries and have the experience of all these diverse eras. Hence time becomes a fiction and the boundary between past, present and future becomes fluid and malleable. I called this idea the transtemporal paradigm and way of looking at the world.

Paul Preciado is an incredibly interesting philosopher. You'll gain enormous insights from diving into his work, books, interviews, latest film... Here's a place to get you started. Really top notch intellectual.

@Husseinisdoingfine How would you say is it different from sunni islam ?

The key insight is that we're all one.

@Leo Gura Leo we want more content on romantic relationships.

@Leo Gura How does me being rich affect my level of consciousness ? If i do the consciousness work then i can be rich or poor it doesn't affect my spirituality. What do you think ?

Is the bible true historically? Look we see the world through a story, and the boundary between materiality and imagination is fluid. So if we imagine the bible as historically accurate, it becomes historically accurate in our experience. The notion of factuality is absurd. If we take the model of factual objectivity seriously, then we end up with an infinite amount of facts. Hence reality becomes unknowable. Think of it this way, there are 8 billion people on planet earth. Okay that's something, now how many facts did occur to every single person just today? An infinite amount of facts. Therefore if you base your model of reality on factual objectivity you're doomed to fail at grasping anything significant due to the sheer robusticity of the domain of facts. However if you think of life as a story, therefore life becomes way more understandable, the boundary between imagination and material reality collapses because everything you imagine to be true becomes true in your lived experience. And wisdom is knowing what story to tell yourself. And a bad story to tell yourself is that you operate under a factual objective mode of viewing the world, which is just intenable due to the reason i cited previously.

@LordFall I think it is a net positive. It is quite a relief to be able to watch porn and masturbate in peace.
