@Raze Men also perform a lot of unpaid labour in house maintenance. A lot goes into owning a house and maintaining it in good order.

In my own experience happiness, joy and gratitude have increased. I don't need or want pleasure with solid gratitude

Guys please, do not make this about attacking each others character traits or expressing your judgements. Remain on topic, talking about concepts, ideas and thoughts.

I think it has been shown that testosterone doesn't make one more aggressive or treat others unfairly (but this is certainly a thing it can do). I may be mistaken, but it appears to enhance affect and qualities already present . I think the effects of testosterone are now believed to be more context dependant and socially mediated than we previously assumed. Although, if women who took a placebo and reported more aggression and unfair treatment in the behaviour - this is pointing to conditioning. Fascinating, because it suggests cultural narratives about testosterone can themselves shape behaviour and self-perception through expectancy effects. Pointing to a possible inherent bias from women they are unaware of given new scientific breakthroughs. The flipside to this would also be true for oestrogen, or the myriad female hormones. The clean cut between biology and social conditioning is just not there. Claiming otherwise is a failure in applying reductionism.

Like the mind tries to grasp the condition that makes mind possible in the first place. I think others might argue the mind HAS no limit? But on the relative domain... it would appear limited. I think this is where the discussion ends up with everyone talking past each other, using different definitions & presuppositions. It turns into a semantic fog, rather than expand clarity on the issue.

Facken rizzed up chadz gacked to all hell 🤣

Maybe I'm pessimistic, but I suspect it's some sort of platform to funnel into selling or advertising. Build clout for performance enhancing drugs. Probably combined with a deliberate shift of the Overton window on transhumanism.

AI slop now. Thank riddence I binned google as a search engine over a year ago. https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/google-search-as-you-know-it-is-over/

@TheEnigma I think part of it is when there is a theme of victim mindset woven into criticism. That's when I think the rants are no longer constructive. Overall it can be disempowering to frame ourselves as totally powerless.

Haha, that one lonely braincell running in a wheel. Where dat cheeeeze

rofl >.< I think it's in LV tomorrow (well, tomorrow for you, today for me). I'd rather self immolate than willfully support Peter Thiel though.

NGL this would be WILD. Just imagine the gacked out eyes and turbocharged, twitchy movements.

Yep - forward motion suppresses the fear response. I find it helps immensely for concentration, focus and enquiry. My thoughts are unbroken and flow one into the other, and time seems to stretch out.

Using the conformity thread as a way to make constipated, passive aggressive jabs at each other

HE DIDN'T Almost the devil's advocate:

@Butters you could argue that prior to the tiny insulated nuclear families of today, grandparents and wider family, who are generally more experienced and wiser, would have a hand in raising kids along with younger parents. But the older generations ... Aren't always smarter or wiser 😂 I think this role has some theories around it; women past breeding age in menopause could be viewed as passers of cultural knowledge and wisdom. It's very strange for a female of a species past breeding age to endure. There is some ambiguity around this theory. We still don't know why women endure so long after menopause. Humans seem wired for cultural inheritance as well as biological.

@Breakingthewall other possibilities too; sometimes it's just an energy thing, too tired to respond or give the time for thought. Occasionally distraction happens and we don't return to the proper subject. I know, speaking for myself, more often than not I simply don't have the energy to reply so I tap out. We can't be 100% certain why that person responded how they did. It's why discussions should be in good faith. Without anyone making fun of each other. It's when we built up context around users who play the same game over and over, that reasonable assumptions can be made about their ego, or the little stories they tell themselves.

Many of these conversations can lead to breakthroughs and new insights for users. Sometimes we have conversations where it doesn't seem to go anywhere; only to think on it more in our own time and have independent breakthroughs triggered through dialogue.

100% kindness goes so, so far Different to being nice

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.
