Oh wow very cool - when I was actively using I had the 'love ping pong' but always repeated visits from machine elves with metal fish scales, mercury T1000 arms and red eyes.

Damn... maybe the side hustle for the government is selling the data to brokers

@Alexop Powerful anecdote - I am sorry to hear about your friend lady Sexual assault is one thing I have never experienced. I have to remind myself often that some people never heal from hard experiences. Whether due to lack of resources (therapy), bad environment, or just plain strength of will. I have always been on the extreme end of high resilience to hardships that arise. And ensured I never held a 'group' (ie men) responsible for the actions of just one bad apple.

Too true, absolute edgelord pandering conformity going on 💀

Not teabagging but gamer rage memes 😁

I think it's just more control and division. It won't enhance safety. It is a show of power from Trump towards Australia imo

As an example this: Fucken busted in many ways - the girls here are actually taking offence to men 'opening a door' for them; the men call it a basic helping kindness, the girls call it 'telling me I cannot do it on my own and need a man to do it' That is a result of engaging in way too much online rhetoric, women engaging in misandry/toxic feminity and masquerading as feminism. It's like the girls on this clip are dry retching at any show of healthy masculinity. Anyway, any women feel free to step in with their opinions; I do not feel a victim of men or masculinity and do not align with any of their rhetoric. I have also never faced sexual assault so I cannot speak to that. I have been psychologically tortured and physically assaulted by a man (put in hospital with permanent injury), but despite this, I still do not operate from fear or a need to 'protect myself from men'. I do not see myself as a victim. I think modern women still see themselves as 'victims' of the patriarchy and men... But that is over lol... I am sorry but they need to get over it. I am pretty harsh with this I know. And I only raise my personal story as what I experienced STILL did not lead me to any of the sorts of mindsets these women have. I think it's too much online rhetoric and not enough focus on shit that matters. People need to stop making it men vs women. It doesn't help when men react in a polarised way to this topic, just as it doesn't help for women to react this way also.

I sort of mean castrating men as a metaphor for removing core healthy masculinity in this frame - encapsulating basically what you describe in the last paragraph. Not like, literal castration lol. I think you have returned to looking at possible solutions - I was just pointing out the blatant misandry that wasn't what feminism really is. I think this is the pendulum swinging the other way post feminism and women in general resisting men's rights also emerging too wantonly; almost as a fear response like it's going to go back to no rights for women etc. And given how women's core issues surround security and fear they are blowing it WAY out of proportion - overreaching with their 'rights', and in the process, stomping on men in a negative way. I don't think it's as intentional as you - some so for sure. But I think most of it is literally unconscious stupidity and not thinking about the consequences of what they propose/do/say. Myopic ignorance hurting others.

@Alexop 🎯

@Ramasta9 This is a pattern all over reality Like a fractal:

There has traditionally has been 'waves' of feminism as it has evolved - the modern phrasing you are using (which I consider an abortion of the term) is really a smuggled in version of misandry or 'toxic femininity'. This weird toxic femininity is really just misandry. And because there have been different waves of feminism and its forms is precisely WHY I consider misandry the proper term. Over even 'toxic femininity'. It's just more accurate and leads to less confusion. A lot of the misandry/toxic femininity seems to have the aim of wanting to straight sterilize and castrate men >.<

Yep enjoyed - he called it. Misandry. That IS what is being smuggled around under the guise of 'modern feminism'.

Ohhh, a fellow aussie I have lived, and made sure I live, on the banks of the Yarra River, Melbourne (in some fashion) my whole life. That is my every day hike/mediation area. Not a day passes where I do not wonder down there to refresh/reflect and touch the water. I suppose it is my one and only ritualistic activity - although I have to watch for snakes and giant orb weavers at this time of year....

Unfortunately no formal recording or release for this one - Jeff drowned prior to recording:

@Ramasta9 Lovely images of my home country! I can see you have some aesthetic/artistic inclinations. Framing, balance, rule of thirds and content very nicely arranged compositionally Have you been to Uluru?

@UnbornTao @LoneWonderer Yep and yep - I prefer reading on kindle in the outdoors for subjects such as these. I wonder if @AION can assist - he is excellent at this.

I like to think I have zero control. All I can do is have the wisdom to take action when it is needed to possibly increase the likelihood of an an outcome. There is a lot less suffering involved in engaging with reality in this way. There is still ego present - but less attachment to outcome in that I avoid excess emotional distress when things to do not proceed how I wish. But the driving force behind all of the above is entangled with ego, even if for me, my work appears to be for others/society (construction in medical and science fields). My work standards are very high. And I have achieved a lot and very successfully, to assist society. I look at the medical buildings and fitouts as part of MY own creative process I engaged in to make the set of plans a concrete reality. But at the base of all of this I also acknowledge I did not do any one thing that created the building; it is simply a sum of the work of me, contractors, carpenters, suppliers, architects, services consultants, clients, building surveyors, industry compliance standards and federal/state governement funds. Not to mention the people that run power plants, supply water, food, mine coal and gas for power. I could go on... Did I really do anything at all, given all the components I rely on that need to come together to construct a building?

@Judy2 Do you think you have any sort of approval seeking with your mother? Or perhaps, you may still look up to her. Mother is the word for God on the lips and in the hearts of children. And it can be quite a huge thing to see our parents as the broken children they are who didn't (and still don't) know what they are/where doing when raising us.

I've watched all of Deconstructing Rationality I and 2/3 through II - but I haven't had anything to add because I just continually nod along going 'yes, yes, yes - okay that context/clarification offers good insight into how Leo is fitting that into his worldview - yep. Agree. Totally. Yup.' I normally comment more if I have an additional view to add, or I find a pattern/mirror that matches in real life that was not included. I tend to only comment when I have an insight in how the video crosses domains in a unique way. The last 2 have been very wholistic and covering many, many nuances and ins/outs. And has hit the mark domain wise in a very cross dimensional way that earns it that 'wholism' feeling. I sort of feel like these last 2 videos have been almost 10-15 years in the making - gradually being built in the background of Leo's work. Jostling in the back of the intuitive mind continually as a framework to build lots of your other works off. And all other work has been bouncing off this continually forming scaffolding. Just my impression/interpretation

MC Ride (Stefan Corbin Burnett) is so fucken intense on stage. Man puts out this furious type of self expression I have never seen in any other performers of that type. I like a massive variety of music and while I do not always have the brutal energy to match Death Grips - they were a trip live!

I am with you here - I am not about the old mate Aubrey. I can easily acknowledge when podcasters are correct, but he just don't jive with me

I am starting to suspect you aren't familiar with all her work. But I am not trying to convince you of anything - more to make out your opinion and what it is founded on 😁

@NewKidOnTheBlock misandrist*** Fixed for ya! Hugs and pop outside some

Cheers for the share 🪐
