What emotions / feelings come up for you? Sympathy, heartbreak, disgust, sadness, pity etc So you feel compelled to action?

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.

I should have been more clear with the thread topic for context. I FAILED. It should be "How do you react to a woman crying, free of interpretation, explanation, concept and perspective?"

From what I gather the Law of the Sublime is more spiritually themed. I am interested to hear his perspectives on the matter.

Positions of authority are like a big red button to activate childlike relational patterns. In both the person holding power and the person subject to it! Particularly when dependency, insecurity or perceived threats to autonomy are involved. 90% of the drama on the forum fits the above in my view

@Ulax Respect with Jayne Eyre - I have read most of the Bronte sisters works. Dense language. Heavy english lit - but amazing for vocabulary expansion!

Hell-to-the-YEZ! I'm all over it boss 🫡

@questionreality I really appreciate your kind words. Thank you

Oh WHAT! Different year level? Do you have any tea? She is wildly expressive

@aurum the pure distillation of feminine vibrance that is Aurora with some chemical brothers in the mix! Chemical brothers + AURORA/TOMORA

@LordFall Definitely - I particularly enjoy how Jobs was an amalgamation of tech solutions & consciousness work with a priority on aesthetics. The book was great diving back into his history, how he was raised and what he was exposed to that made him into such a great entrepreneur and strong visionary (even if he was quite catalytic). I still remember when the iPod was first released. About 6 weeks after 9/11. The two events are big in my memory.

@LordFall Really love Robert Greene! Poor guy. My compassion for his health struggles. Half way through "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson - highly recommend this. Especially for you, I think based on my collected knowledge (of you) across many forum posts and dialogues, you would enjoy this immensely! Finished "Into Thin Air" by Jon Krakauer - an unexpected surprise! This took me on a ride and I haven't been gripped by a story for a while. Based on a true story - disaster while scaling Mt Everest.

I think ideally we would want AI to be replacing the work we do NOT want to do, rather than what humans do take joy in. The volume of AI slop produced may end up increasing the value of "organic" or "all human" creativity. As one product and it's process becomes more scarce.

There are many visual reports of sightings. I don't know a lot about drone tech, but it is advancing like crazy - I wonder how well drones can fool sensor equipment?

I suppose this ends up being a meta-impersonation. Daryl could simply be a self-help guru and his schtick / unique selling point / gimmick is the "channelled" presentation. Or Daryl could be channelling an alien named Bashar. Either way, he appears to be assisting many people. The outcome appears good. Depending on how we interpret the phenomenon, it either has some delusion served up with it - or some truth yet revealed.

Appreciate your answers all 🥰

Right tool for the job - smart watches tend to specialise in domains. Is it for fitness tracking or actual smart watch functions? Or a bit of column A, bit of B? 😀

@Heaven thanks for sharing 🫶

@Sugarcoat I get your example though. That numbness from overexposure is pervasive. I think many suffer from emotional bluntness across the board from overstimulation. My question was specific to women crying. Not that this was special in any way. But I do think men might react differently to witnessing a man they know cry? Maybe. Just a curious question regarding mens phenomenological experience 🙃

What do you think about boys as children? They react emotionally. Just as girls. Do you think socialisation comes into it?

@Sugarcoat my hypothetical is geared toward men seeing a women they know, or are aquanted with, crying in a face to face situation. And to be clear - I mean any reaction. Doesn't have to be empathic. Just whatever arises first.

@Jirh I understand this. I usually have a default reaction, but cognition and critical assessment come online so quickly when analysing emotionally charged situations. I can either suppress the original empathic feeling or change the feeling entirely (depending on how I view motivations). If I make sense.

Thanks for sharing all! Including @Emerald - flip side of the coin experience. I do slightly struggle to believe men who claim to have no instinctual feelings or reactions prior to their cognition attempting to analyse "intention".
