Was the way that the capitalist system was set up really caused by "whiteness" or "maleness", or was it just the way evolution played itself out ?

With all due respect, How about being a little bit more open to actually having a proper discussion in these threads if you really want the message to land. Like human beings talking to each other, instead of just directing each other to reading material. Just a thought.

LOL, as far as the egalitarian society thing goes, it might not be so far fetched after all. I remember when covid happened and they couldn't make movies, it was like movie stars began to lose that magical aura overnight. People have lost all respect for politicians because everything is more transparent now. AI will make differentiation based on knowledge irrelevant. And eventually the billionaires will be forced to share the abundance if they dont want to live in absolute hell. Im not saying an egalitarian society will come about through our own selflessness, but it kinda seems like evolution is pushing us in that direction for our own survival.

I'm sure there are feminists out there who are more about conquest, but it seems that the type of matriarchy talked about here, refers to an egalitarian society. So the term matriarchy might be a bit misleading.

Her videos are pretty good. "Unlearning internalized capitalism" and "starving the patriarchy" seem to be different ways of saying the same thing.

Yes, so the question is, why even call it a matriarchy at all ? Why not just call it egalitarian, and then everyone's happy.

Thank you, I actually really enjoyed her video. I was thinking if you ladies want to promote the matriarchy, I would use words like egalitarian more often. Because when us guys here the word matriarchy, we immediately think its gonna be exactly like patriarchy but women have all the power. And that's not what she is saying at all.

From what I can tell, this definition of matriarchy, is more just about egalitarianism.

This video makes sense, I am all for women being in their power. One thing that I couldn't find in the video though was a definition of matriarchy. What exactly do you mean when you use the word matriarchy ?

@Leo Gura Is this the end of the youtube channel, or will you still post longer videos there from time to time ?

I think you misinterpreted my words. I genuinely dont know what it is that this brand of feminism wants, and I'd like to understand. But it seems like the women in this thread are not willing to have an actual conversation. So these threads tend to end up being a bunch of boys and girls smirking at each other from a distance. Not very productive.

Sam is in complete denial of what happened in Gaza, so it's to be expected that he would want to demonize someone like Hasan.

I dont understand why it's so hard for the women in this thread to say in their own words, what it is that their version of feminism actually wants ?

@Lila9 I think I asked @Rafael Thundercat a very reasonable question here earlier, without any response. If you want men to understand these issues better, how about getting off the high horse, and actually having some constructive communication ?

Oops, wrong music thread. How to delete a post ?

The 114 mystical sayings of Jesus is the real reason the Gospel of Thomas was left out of the bible.

Nothing wrong with providing value and making a living. Plus the value you can extract for yourself from the youtube videos, can't really be put into monetary terms. Dont be too cynical, there are still plenty of teachers with integrity, Leo's one of them.

Come on Leo, he was a child. Even saints take time to develop.

That's not spirituality's fault. If Leo only cared about money, why is most of his work freely available on youtube ?

Aha, I see it's from the Infancy Gospel of Thomas. Misuse of powers before enlightenment. One boy jumped into him, he cursed him and he died on the spot. And he pushed another boy off a roof. In some versions he brought both them boys back to life. Moral of the story, dont fuck with Jesus.

Really, he actually killed a child lol ? I thought most people on this forum believed the Jesus character was just a myth. Now he's killing children, thats rich. Who wrote the book about Jesus' childhood, love to hear the epistemology on that one.

What what what ?
