Average. Infant mortality was huge historically, dragging down statistics like average. What other animals, undergo menopause, when kept alive for longer durations? It's still an unusual difference.

Just think "connection" for the female mind 🥰

Is that a suppliment or a drug?

There are tradeoffs to specialisation in natural selection. That's not the same as saying a sex evolved to be weaker. There's a distinction between a trait being selected for, and traits emerging as a consequence of some other evolutionary process. There are still unexplained aspects of women's evolution. Menopause being one. Human women evolved to survive beyond breeding age. Natural selection/evolution typically isn't just random and without purpose. I might be mistaken but few other female animals survive beyond breeding age.

My arm is better than my leg, you fucks Change my mind 😈

For some reason this made me laugh - I had a vision of you yelling at your skin / skeleton / form "I identify with consciousness, just fuck off body!"

@Nercohype no problem (⁠◠⁠‿⁠・⁠)⁠—⁠☆ I tried to think of an example that would have a few layers to consider that would concretely flesh out how all these principles come into play. It was interesting for me to think on as some conflicts are quite easy and can be a simple values assessment + cost/benefit. Others can have much broader ethical problems that aren't so easy to find a moral, just and truthfully satisfying answer. Good luck & happy writing 🤸🏻

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DdkE1T2gv29/?mdxt=ZDNkcGFmaTUxdmtv Both genders can be just as emotional, perhaps in different domains of feelings. Different expression & responses. I think perhaps women can identify feelings with more accuracy. Which could be a function of motherhood - reading/mirroring infants and family members states is about providing appropriate care for survival & healthy child rearing. The ability to sit with an emotion and not be compelled to irresistibly act on it, is a huge green flag for maturity. People who genuinely think women are stronger than men, and can't see the obviousness of basic sex dimorphism, are likely to be tripped up by reality. It's just not aligned with truth.

@Nercohype Integrity is a concept that makes the truth-versus-duty dilemma more interesting (or perhaps, complicated!), because it asks whether you can remain faithful to your principles when those principles conflict with one another. The Iraq WMD case is a good real world example of truth, duty and integrity. It turns out the WMDs were lies to feed a narrative invasion of Iraq was necessary. Imagine being a reporter than knew the truth... The damage revealing it would cause the government. Do you whistleblow? An interesting test of integrity. The reporter's dilemma is not simply whether to tell the truth. It is whether to expose serious wrongdoing when doing so could damage the government, undermine public trust and potentially destabilise the country.

@Nercohype do you have some concrete examples where you have been face to face with this conundrum? Your replies above moved further into abstraction. The details of an example and the context may affect the path forward 🤸🏻

@Wilhelm44 the week prior is more emotionally sensitive / volatile.

@AION Actually, this phase of the cycle is not particularly emotionally sensitive. You aren't correct.

@Alexop don't even start, you! Forfeiting out opposable thumbs so easy for the quadriceps and glutes... Ngl I would love another set of hands instead of feet though

Anyone planning on reading this?

My general experience of personality: who I was, or who I thought I was, was not it when younger. As I worked on integration, grounding and conditioning - who I really am, in my natural state, was revealed. I feel as if it was always present, just under layers of misunderstanding, accumulated "karma" and history. It appeared to manifest differently in twisted ways that only partially reflected who I was at baseline. I think as I have gained clarity I simply grasped what was always there I was seeing with broken, dirty lenses. Some smaller aspects of my personality that hinge on values have changed - as values are want to do as we age and grow.
