I think Crocs are a good place to start....the problem is there aren't many good shoes that are widely available for a good price.

We recoil in discust from pedophiles but Mohammeds youngest wife was 6 years years old and a lot of people worship that guy. Also Mary was about 12 years old. There are many more examples in history. I suppose it's similar to how the founding fathers had slaves yet they are still revered. Now we know better I guess.

Awesome stuff @Lila9I totally appreciate you explaining your ideas and I love what you are about. Lots to think about and you've really helped me have a deeper understanding of this issue. Thanks for the great dialogue!

Oh I see . I totally misunderstood you. That's awesome dude!

You can laugh and I can think of some funny solutions too. But we actually need to find real solutions otherwise humanity will go extinct

In the end of the video Piers Morgan interviews an Iranian university professor. It is an incredible debate and a perfect example between a typical western and Iranian perspective and why it's so hard for people and countries to agree on simple "facts". Both people bring up good points but I think Piers wins it. What do you think? I bet you know a lot of conversations that go on a similar way.

@Lila9where does the idea come from that a long time ago humans were matriarchical? Is there any evidence for this?

"Is it because I'm a woman?" This Karen thinks everyone hates her because she's a woman. This is the dilemma I find some women fall into. They think every conflict is due to the "patriarchy", misogyny, or historical maltreatment, etc and never because of their own actions or just regular conflict. The book "Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents" by Isabel Wilkerson mentions the same thing: one of the most frustrating parts of being black in the US, is that black people are never sure if conflict is due to racism, or just being wrong or the other person just being rude in general. I would suggest women or any other suppressed group of people have the same issue. Hope this post helps men understand women more.

This is awesome

We do care, and we are especially concerned about the Jewish space lasers

So patriarchy is cause both high and low birth rates?

You make interesting points and much of what you say is largely true in that we could create a better world if we incorporated more perspectives including an especially the female perspective. This idea of everything would be perfect if there was a matriarchy could be just wishful thinking. Especially since you say it's never been tested on the large scale. Blaming all society's problems on a particular group is not a responsible or a conscious leadership trait. Under a matriarchy what is to stop the more greedy, aggressive, and corrupt women from running amok? What metrics would you use that would indicate that we are now living in a "matriarchy" and everything is finally ok? You could argue that the current system has become less greedy over time and more equitable and therefore it could be hypothesized that a better society can be run with a more conscious form of patriarchy too.

Yes you probably don't fall into this dilemma because you are probably more conscious than 99% of women (and men) but I think a lot of women do, just like many minorities do. I assume those women who bring up "the patriarchy" in every sentence do. And many women I know do that.

It's not a black and white issue but a million shades of grey. While the US isn't perfect its arguably the "cleanest dirty shirt in the laundry hamper". The fact remains that in Iran you get arrested and maybe killed if you speak out against the regime on TV yet in the US you can still do that (for now lol). This is what they talk about in the interview and it's fascinating to see both sides of the debate play out.

Hey thanks for checking it out. Yes it was incredible to watch Piers bringing this up and his guest had no reply except anger. I wonder if Piers went to Iran would he be kidnapped and killed, yet his guest insists he does that.

Destiny goes meta and makes a video with an integralist. Destiny debates himself in a video title "what if both sides are right?"

Piers Morgan is a UK based journalist. I think all perspectives are worth listen to if you want to learn how the world works. Perhaps you would agree with the Iranian professor and thus you might enjoy the interview after all.

Good points

The patriarchy might be one reason but then how does it explain Africa and the middle East where there is more patriarchy and very high birth rates? And Iceland, a country with the most gender equality, still have low birth rates below replacement?

Check out how quickly this guy goes from insecure loser to player. 2 min video https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRVQIp_ktAe/?igsh=MWU3cDl6ZWh0MGNwOA==

In this segment he quickly dismantles a socialist's argument. Destiny is a good example on how to debate well no matter what the position is.

I was impressed too, glad you found it interesting!

So true, he could be so much more.

Ding dong the witch is dead

Whether he wins or loses Destiny is a skilled debater. This video is a fascinating debate on morality, the nature of reality and perception is also discussed. T.K Coleman is also exceptional in this debate. A good example of how to debate in a mature and productive way.
