This could be pointing toward the root of the issue. Relationships are about connection. Some of the issue with Red Pill is it blocks connection - which blocks love.

Sometimes these sorts of beliefs are also coming from a very strong cognitive bias; huge amounts of data that could contradict a worldview are simply discarded.

I apologise if you felt I tried to mechanistically explain away your lived experience. My aim was to explore possible alternatives, not tell you how you are 🙏🏻

@Jirh it makes it all less certain. That's killing the knowing for me. Also I'd appreciate you stop telling me what I think or feel. Especially through a generalised gender based lens. You may not mean it this way, but the rhetoric you use is received as if you are attempting to explain me without really relating.

DECEASED It sounds like something women would comment to each other about a dude "I'd like to access that dip stick". Might make a good pickup line remixed a bit? Hahaha dip stick

Does evil require intent? Some ignorant shit leads to the most heinous, evil outcomes.

It was a co-creation' codependent arising! I must admit, I cycled through a few words prior to settling on "killer". Mostly because you "killed" the previous point. Like a savage. Fucken caveman style. Fatality. Brutal. Carnage. Merciless. Massacre. Okay I should stop now. FaTAliTY! hue hue hue

@Carl-Richard killer contribution

@OmniNaut new BMWs and Audi - you can't even access the dip stick to check the oil. You are completely locked out and dependant on the routine service. Even key fobs for remot engine start and other functions are subscription based services now. You will own nothing and love it 🤢🤮 It's all about locking you down into some sort of subscription model.

@Ramanujan what is a relationship about, in your view?

It is SUCH a good question and often has me stumped. Often what I detect first depends more on where I place my awareness. This really became evident to me deep into a good routine meditation process. Because for me? I honestly have a lot of trouble being able to even make a clean distinction between a feeling and a thought. I rest often with feelings being experienced coupled with a sensation, and thoughts less so. I view feelings and thoughts as a codependent arising in my consciousness. My default is a thought. Less a feeling. In fact I often struggle with felt empathy. My brand of empathy is intellectual. Overall I am unresolved.

This is red pill brainwashing. It's like a lens of corruption on your understanding of reality.

I don't view the world like this. In my experience the split is not so clean. I see more deviation within the sexes than between them. I base this just on my experience in the social domain. In real life, not on the internet. But I appreciate your perspective nonetheless

@yetineti crying is a powerful external signal of distress when authentic. I think it's normally a signal of a need. Comfort is the standard. Infants and children, prior to language, often default to crying as a bid for connection of some sort. It signals some sort of overwhelm as a result of a feeling, sensation or thought. I think the thread has established that authenticity matters, but crying does not establish intent. When I see a man cry, I have a powerful feeling from my chest to connect with them. A compassion. The connection helps define the source of the crying, and then secondary emotions/thoughts show up in response to the narrative present.
