Yep, this. I'm not talking about maternity leave or benefits like that. My idea was to treat motherhood as a legitimate occupation that would supply a commodity - people. Workers. Which will boost the economy and sustain capitalism. It won't come without its own set of issues. Necessity is a powerful push for compromise. I do not think a policy like that has ever been proposed in western countries. I don't know of any countries that have tried it.

If you are communicating with another human - there are emotions involved. It is just ignorance if you think this isn't happening. Emotions are transmitted, received and form part of the communication - as well as words and context.

@Carl-Richard was going to note that proposing kids help out with LOOKING AFTER THEMSELVES is a good habit to be instilling into them - but felt it was a bit obvious 😂😂😂

@WonderSeeker I've been present for birth (my brother's) and death (my grandfather's). These two moments are so intense. You are literally witnessing Truth express itself through living organisms; division, union, love & God all at once. There are no words.

@Basman has it been done?

KEEP EM COMING @Lila9 show us!

I think this is real - I came across this many years ago. It's probably the 3rd time I have seen the same case documented (not that this qualifies it as a true story!). I hate that in this day and age I cannot enjoy stories or clips. Need to check for AI and disinformation.

@Sincerity they into derp mode hard 😍

Sammmmme. I actually love the beauty of their movement, face, frame and musculature. Greyhounds, whippets and Italian Greyhounds are amazing companion animals. Can go hard as a motherfucker - but massive off switch.

Get ready for hair. All. Over. You. And your stuff. I had a border collie - minimum 3-4hr investment a day 🥹 Contributing (wants a belly rub):

Having children can be part of spiritual practice. If that is not realized, then some more contemplation is needed. Or, just having them 😁

He he he - yes I have used some prompts of a similar nature. AI's always prompt me to ask myself why I post on this forum, interestingly. For some reason they lacked the intuition to understand how I find growth from being provoked egoically. I use LLMs a lot. But I consider it to be like speaking to someone on this forum, or in real life; I simply cannot take what is said as truth. Merely provide an alternate view to consider. For work I occasionally use it to navigate emotionally charged meetings; I am quick to call people out when they are wrong. This totally irritates and fucks up engineers and architects because to them I am just the lowly builder. Coupled with me being a tiny woman who presents as gentle and accommodating, this really makes people feel 'betrayed'; I am betraying their expections. They expect me to defer to them and not question. The questioning of methods of construction and WHY things are done how they are is taken as an offense. They want me to revert to capitulation and adhere to expections. They do not consider I might have input that can reduce costs and time. AI frequently gives me strategies to approach different people's egoic reactions to 1) calm them down 2) refocus them to the goal and 3) temper my own words so I am not so brutal with facts. Unfortunately you cannot avoid egos anywhere. And due to me requiring all discussions involving decisions being on writing, I have the great advantage of using AI and having the time to craft a strategy. You would be amazed at how sensitive others are to ONE word or phrase being altered. The emotional game behind work gets more results than just performing actions and expecting results. Once I started using LLMs more for this it made my work easier and I started to hit every KPI 😄 I pretty much don't need them so much anymore for this. Now I tend to query mechanisms and alternate methods I can use materials in a system.

I had a CT scan and MRI initially. Then I worked with a small team and neuropsychologist to rehab my cognitive abilities. Luckily when I went through initial physical therapy I didn't suffer much in terms of balance etc. My main issues were temporary emotional disregulation. I saw a psychologist for this. CBT and emotional regulation training. I also did lots of mindfulness work for nervous system regulation and environmental management. An interesting side effect of the TBI and rehab was becoming aware of, and gaining a greater depth of understanding behind, the mechanics of my own feeling and emotion systems. I feel the majority of my consciousness work came from this domain and then branched out to truth, philosophy. Have you looked into peptides for your father's recovery? There is some confusion around peptides as they are a new branch of medicines that are used in cosmetic, recovery, muscle growth, healing, insulin treatment and weight loss. In particular BPC-157, TB-500 or Semax. These are all peptides that are showing promise for application in treatment of TBI. I will put forward a warning - these sorts of treatments should come from a solid source through a doctor. Ideally from a compounding pharmacy. There are contaminants created in synthetic peptides that needs to be removed.

If you operate from truth there is no need for any external structure of morality, in my view.

@YIDIRYIDIR gotcha ᕙ⁠(⁠＠⁠°⁠▽⁠°⁠＠⁠)⁠ᕗ Ngl I deal with much more AI hate and fear mongering off the forums than on. To the extent it has been banned as a topic at all work functions.
