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

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".

Sleep! Rest

The interior makes a big difference for me. Also with cars you have to factor in service costs. As soon as you go euro parts are harder to come by. Less alternatives and more OEM only. Services can be HUGE - routine minor and major at certain km %/number. This is where Toyota, Subaru etc and a lot of the asian makers have a huge advantage.

If we are being fanciful? Telepathy. One of Ralston's books - I forget which one - has a practice he endorses for integrity "inside/outside thoughts" or some-such. I forget all the details around it: You basically pretend like everyone around you can hear exactly what you think. All thoughts and feelings are transparent.

Charlize Theron's character runs parallel to a ship falling on her. She could run to the side. Some busted writing and storytelling... that is just the tip of the iceberg

As a woman, if I sense even a wif of red pill I am instantly turned off. Red pill makes many evolutionary-psychology claims that are oversimplified, difficult to test, or presented with much greater certainty than the evidence warrants. Yes, there is some truth to it. But the ability to decisively claim some things are inherent vs societal conditioning is not so easy to detangle. It presents a lovely, neat story. It all makes beautiful sense, doesn't it? That should put your bullshit detectors on alert. Always.

@mmKay you might enjoy this - I just finished it:

You can't make decisions properly or with efficiency without emotions and feelings. Logic can't help you make decisions. The AI would have to have emotions/feelings programmed in. It would need values.

@Human Mint it is a way of presenting or structuring an issue that contains a logical error, misleading assumption, or distortion. It influences how people interpret it. It's not the facts that are the problem. It's the framework through which the facts are interpreted that is the problem.

Zero tone detect over text 🤣🤣🤣💀 I also read the thread backwards from last page forward. Scrambled my own eggs !

@Xonas Pitfall I think this is some of it for sure. I know some women are attracted to shows of aggression from men toward other males, which can proxy as a signal of protection \ safety. Aggression can signal both protective capacity and potential danger. The difficulty/challenge for women is distinguishing between the two before the behaviour is directed at them. It's being able to discern the critical distinction between a man who can use aggression and a man who needs to use aggression to regulate himself, establish dominance, or resolve conflict.

I think this was the big factor to my disappointment. I really got into the lore behind the leaked scripts. Loved the original alien pilot and potential mythology. Maybe I just enjoyed the mystery behind lv426 and the dead pilot. When it was revealed to be such a poor explanation I was seriously let down.

That's okay - I enjoyed the dialogue nonetheless 🙂

@Cubbage I enjoyed Covenant over Prometheus. I think my hopes were dashed with Prometheus. Covenant was zero expectation!

Austin Martin DB9 dream care for me

I remember being so hyped for it. Saw it at the movies with my ex. We were reading all the leaked scripts prior to release. Across the whole thing. When the movie ended someone yelled out "The fuck was that cu** shit?" Accurate 👀

It isn't wasted human potential to understand women. It leads to connection, relationships, kids. It creates human potential.

@AerisVahnEphelia it's a fallacious frame I didn't make any comment about AI being a copy or not.
