I kind of came to that thought just now that I fear connecting with other people sometimes and that there is somewhat of a artificial and intense block to the natural flow of love and meeting people. There is a girl that I really like but I kind of fear a bunch of things. Like getting myself into something I havent thought through, hurting her feelings etc. Fears: Fear of rejection Fear of responsibility (of her feelings) Fear of getting into something I cant easily get out I need to think something through to a degree that I feel comfortable with that person. For example if I feel like they are attractive enough and have good character I can kind of let go of control and enter some kind of chaotic sort of love. But that limits me so much as well. Oh and I forgot, in my old theatre club I managed to create feelings so fast from other people that I really started to take myself back.

Isnt it boring that its all love in the end, cant it have different flavours for a change? Oh ...

Thats highly speculative on my end. I feel like when reality feels unbearable and you intuit that it could all be much lighter, more spiritual but somehow there is some shit in the way, to cope with that people come up with all sort of stories, stuff that they heard off, stuff that is connected to their survival and so on. Basically the mind being disconnected from spirit and trying to get back at it clumsily and woowoo-ly.

Interesting. I see the potential insights when you can decode their woo-woo right. But also lots of potential for misinterpretation.

I have just started to become interested in psychedelics again as I spent more time on the forum. My interest in psychedelics was at an all time low and I wondered if I even wanted to take them again. Kind of yes to answer some questions but practically not really. Now I am a lot more interested in it. Great insight for myself

The average reaction of a men to being the only male left on earth: Oh no (yes), capture me, what are you going to do with me. 😏👀

@Thought Art 🙏

Sad to see you go. You were one of the very first and few people I followed years back because you struck me as so smoart. All the best!

I wanted to say that the hunter gatherer stereotypical roles play a large part in informing other roles that came on top of that, grounded them in a sense which is why they are important to the ego and which is why the conversation is so charged. I dont know where you are coming from with people viewing women as an object back then.

I think its deeply connected to our identity/ ego and our place in the world/ justifiction for our role in society.

Ah okay, still somehow this is the point where it ended..

The thread is quite a warzone lol. Remember we lost Eliott in it, now Emerald says she is on the brink.. I also rarely loose my cool on the forum from what I remember but with this thread I lost it.. And the topic isnt even that complicated but sooo emotionally charged.

I remember that I made huge progress in socializing when I had my first f+. Or possibly every girl I vibe with. The lat one was a terrible experience. Dating/ Getting a gf is really an important new step for me.

Object design idea, a couch made out of dicks but the top all aligned in a way that you can lay on them like with table tennis outer pimples. I am sure someone would buy it. My mind is getting really unhinged wow.

I would be interested to know what the risks are from doing it once. I like to try many things once to collect the experience and perspective but I wonder if that is already kind of risky.

What I find interesting is that those who think of themselves as though and stoic are so impressionable emotionally. Well maybe there is no mistake.

Self aware Trump voters would be like: Its so stupid, but it feels so good!

Oh men, I was relaxing the whole week because I was sick but its not super easy to get my system working again. Got quite a few things to do.

Then I dont understand your comment without elaboration. How do you put masculinity and not repressing emotions together?

But thats simply because physical strength matters much more much if you have only primitive tools and so naturally men will take on physically demanding tasks and will built a personality that fits this role. But the root is simply muscle, nothing more. Thats an is-ought fallacy. Just because it is/ was a certain way doenst mean it was good/ should remain that way/ or doesnt have equally good or better alternatives.

So is that where you would draw the line between toxic and healthy masculinity?

I was led to belief that masculinity sort of IS repression of emotions. You have got a challenge, lets say a dangerous one, you feel all sorts of ways about it, for example scared. That feeling of being scared would lead you to run away. However lets say running away would endanger people you love. So you push that feeling of being scared away, create a sort of fearless alter ego to rise up to the challenge and handle it like a men. And that sort of dynamic not just in this particular situation but chronically to face lifes challenges. NO?

Interesting perspective which I havent considered yet. The warmongering of NATO is something I am sceptical about though. What war mongering? NATO is defensive alliance against russia. First and second world war were before NATO and well both european countries started and solved the conflict largely internally (+ russia, USA and Japan in WW2) although I am sure other countries around the globe felt the effect. The US involves itself in stupid wars sometimes and european countries sometimes support that. Thats problematic for sure.

Isnt this getting old when you learn that homophobia is dumb. Like when I see this, I remember that I used to find this funny as a teen, but it was also kind of homophobic and immature. .. The thread starts to smell like heteronormative dick

What are you smoking
