The word searched for in all that might be concentration.

I like that stance. Perhaps it just comes out in different ways, on different days, in different moods - as with us all

Well, if it's his stance then yes that's his sovereignty. He feels compelled to correct a misunderstanding. It's not that he is correct or incorrect to me, in my opinion. It is about ensuring he communicated properly and that is his own integrity at work. It has nothing to do with me seeing him as an authority. And yeah I meant no offence to him. Did I say sorry? Feel free to quote me. Just as I never mean offense to anyone. I have never been upset by anything you have said to me in this thread, I thought we were merely talking about understanding views? This notion I am upset is so left field! I don't even recall the question. My worldview is different to Leo, and yourself. But again, you haven't ever probed me for my worldview. Typically you are much more concerned with expressing your own. And that's cool too.

I didn't even consider this TBH, but it applies as well. The whole thing appears confused as fuck to me now >.<

You think so? I personally don't mind it, it's an opportunity to take responsibility and integrate 😁

@NewKidOnTheBlock I questioned whether or not my post would move the needle on the pure certainty all these issues stem from one source 🥲 I suppose I am hanging here to try to steer the convo, but it really seems an identity has been formed around the concept....

@NewKidOnTheBlock is this in reference to me pointing out there is more to it? 🤣 There friggin is - blaming one thing, 'patriarchy', is a reductionist trap.

Oh, that's cool! I am going by some comments dating back 2 or so years. And given this context I understand your position better 👍🏻 I meant no offense, it is my misunderstanding. To elaborate further - the part you quoted from me is more referring to a lack of material on the matter, in the form of YouTube long format releases. The sadness I express is just that there aren't any big releases from you on the topic.

Leo has stated frequently his model does not have an allowance/include for the nuances of emotions and feelings. It could simply be missed as a result of his audience having the same gap in understanding. It makes me sad, because emotions and feelings are of the same substance as thoughts, in my worldview. They cannot be seprated from each other - when concept is transmitted, thought, emotion and feeling is all packaged up with it.

The instagram link: Women may, on average, have somewhat stronger predispositions toward caregiving-related behaviors, influenced by both biology and external incentive structures. There are strong biological drives to care for others, pay attention to their wellbeing and ensure they are safe and happy. Just because a woman takes care of a man, does not in all circumstances mean this is a result of brainwashing of the patriarchy. Sure - some men might leverage this natural instinct to their advantage. But I would argue that many women engage in this role instinctually and willingly. These tendencies may still emerge even without explicit coercion or ideological pressure (ie patriarchy). Women, on average, show greater attentiveness to interpersonal and caregiving needs - those of men included. Women take care of the needs of other women, elderly, children and men. Men do this also - but perhaps with less of an instinctual inclination, but it is certainly there. Both sexes engage in this process. Women show a preference in general. A woman who chronically abandons herself in relationships may be dealing with trauma, insecure attachment, poor self-concept, dependency patterns, or other psychological difficulties. In the case of attachment trauma: this is not always a result of the 'patriarchy' - but it can be. Girls (and boys) raised in environments where love is not consistent from the parent, often end up with attachment issues. These manifest in self-abandonment, not knowing our own needs, being unable to advocate for ourselves. When we are depended on another to meet our needs - as is the case with insecure or avoidant attachment - we tend to abandon our needs in service to another. This sort of behavior in general is more to do with the individuals trauma from inconsistent caregiving. On the slip side, attachment styles are crafted by external social structures and isolated circumstances. So, it isn't necessarily totally clean cut as a mechanism. If you think an external force alone is responsible for 'not knowing' yourself - think again. There are so many factors that could come into play here. And I think it is a combination of biology, attachment psychology and social systems. They all operate at once. The truth of it is a mixed bag - how can we know if women are abandoning themselves to the needs of another (or a man) originates from some larger incentive structure like 'patriarchy' or a broken attachment style, or biology? I think reducing women’s self-abandonment entirely to the patriarchy oversimplifies a complex interplay of biology, attachment, and social influences.

Isn't this a cult classic? This was on background rotation in my childhood... Fuck I'm old lol I agree though, sick movie

If we don't try to understand another's worldview, how can we effectively argue against it? If you base what you 'think' you know on assumptions and inferences without attempting to understand the source, you will simply misrepresent the other position and form an easy takedown to gratify the ego. Over persuing true understanding and good faith discussion.

I recall OneDrive setting being deep in the OS, not in Microsoft 365.

Heaps of universities force you to use OneDrive so they have active histories of timestamps of each edit and save. It's their way of 'proving' AI didn't write the whole thing. Doesn't stop AI use though, just that you didn't past whole slabs of text

Not angry no, I just don't understand the closed mindedness. But it's your will, so be it.
