Body language is an amazing field of study. You can learn so much from just reading the subtleties of simply moment to moment gestures.

In pass #5 your just trying to make what your value means to you concrete and clear. Previously it was just a vague notion. Now your making clear in your mind what your value actually entails in real life. What exactly does this mean to me? Just be general here. What comes to mind when you think of this value? What would it look like tangibly? What would look like in real time? Here your honing on what actions this value entails. How would I know if I embody this value? How would you look like if you embodied your value? What lifestyle are you living? What feelings and states do you experience? what specific experiences do you have? Here your honing in on what kind of person you'd be and what kind of life you'd live if you embodied your value. Your value means something specific to you. Not just in the abstract, but in terms of what kinds of action you take and states you experience. The definition is just a one sentence description of what you understand your value to mean to you in essence. Don't overthink too much. It's supposed to be somewhat intuitive. Here's one of my examples:

They are a parody of themselves

Antropomorphism is wrong. It's a projection of qualities that don't exist. Dogs are not children and they can't fulfill emotional needs like other another person. It silly and can lead irresponsible behavior, like overfeeding or behavior issues. Nothing I've said has been definitely untrue. Your clearly biased yourself.

That's cronyism lol.

Burn out is such a powerful force. It can take years to get over. I know Leo has been dealing with his own burn out, so I'm sure there's insight to be had. It's such a universal and often frustrating experience, because often what we're burnt out over is important to us in someway.

This redefining of matriarchy as something that's closer to egalitarianism reminds me of how certain progressives tried to redefine racism as being defined by power relations. Calling everyone who's white racist and that it's not possible to be racist if your a minority. The definition of matriarchy is political exclusion. It's obviously silly and hypocritical to advocate for that, so why use that term?

That's every thread in existence.

No one book will solve all your problems, but they can expand your understanding and equip you with tools to better handle your issues. Think of it more as a process than a goal you accomplish which you can contribute to with greater knowledge.

Feminism is pro independence. By necessity it is going to contribute to atomization and the breaking of communal bonds.

They should have a pet rock.

It's true that having a pet is like a child, but at best only 1/4. The anthropomorphism is stupid, like calling them fur babies or referring to oneself as fur mommy. It's a sign of the end times. A relationship with an animal is nowhere near that of one with a human in scope and effect. A lot of this dog mania is because people are too immature to handle real relationships.

Women are less likely to kill themselves in general. They are less impulsive.

The bottomline is to focus on your strengths. Classic self-help principle. Men generally need prove their worth more, whereas women get to coast to a greater degree. On the flipside, men generally have a greater opportunity to build character. There's a reason why men tend to gravitate towards leadership to a greater degree.

Is the patriarchy in the room with us right now?
