Yes exactly. I just laugh at the blatant contradictions of both feminists and manospherists: The contradiction of feminism: men rule/built the world because.....they are inferior. The contradiction of the manosphere: weak small women are no match for stronger superior men but........ feminism somehow ruined the world and is something to fear?

Understanding that their understanding is biased is a huge insight and advantage in the world no matter what group we are talking about.

Beautiful and courageous post. Yes we all struggle with the dichotomy of letting go and holding back in public life. We can disappoint ourselves if we go to any of those extremes. Sounds like you have a lot going for you because your mindset is focused on growth. Keep building momentum and remember there are no deadlines to meet and nothing really to get stressed about it the end all achievments amount to nothing. If anything is important its really the journey and the friends we make along the way.

Good job. Yes all prespectives should be considered and understood whether or not we belong to that group or even if we agree with it. Mel Gibson's movie "What women what" shows how understanding anothers' perspective is a literal superpower. This is even good news for self- centered egotistical power hungry people as nothing let's you dominate your enemy more than thoroughly understanding how they see the world. Yet often these people ignore the perspectives of others. However I recommend using this superpower for the common good.

Ya this guy is my new favorite politician. Huge fan of Mumdani too. Finally some truly grass roots politicians that were voted in not because of huge advertising campaigns but because of their policies and working class appeal. The way it should be.

I got a personal trainer. One of the Best decisions I ever made. It true working out takes some skill and knowledge. If personal training is out of reach for you use AI to make a training plan. Just enter your past injuries, goals, skill level and as much info as you can. AI will make a good plan for you. The only thing it won't help with is real time form monitoring but AI does give you form tips and YouTube Videos also help.

True as well. Rock on brother

Cool, you also have a valid and valuable perspective that we love hearing. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome dude, ya you seem like a person who will do it.

Nice insight. Yes exactly, our feelings will tell us what's true and what should be done yet many people ignore their feelings. Ancient Taoist wisdom also has this advice.

Awesome dude, ya you seem like a person who could actually do it.

Great image. I love images like these that help map out ideas. I like to do them to.

Ok not a bad point. As I said I am able to easily see and switch between perspectives and don't particularly care about one or another. Nor am interested in arguing against or trying to debunk someone else's post. I see the truth in it and I feel like this is a higher way to live than argument. Different question, have you started any posts recently?

Fair enough. I get what you are saying

Why create an abundance for others? Presumably because it would make you happy. You can't argue this. It's a well known fact that all our actions are geared toward happiness, but that implies we aren't currently happy. Accepting this fact and loving unhappiness is true transcendence. Being in denial is not developed thinking. Once more? You keeping count? Nope. I share interesting things and ideas I find on the Internet because I'm bored and lonely like you. I'm not drawn to any particular style of thinking I'm able to hold many ideas simultaneously and this is just one of them. What's more telling is your need to argue against my ideas or try and project on to me that I'm feeling the pressure of the world.

If you truly went all the way then you would would love unhappiness because you would realize it's the driver of all your actions. Instead you try and defend a stance (I'm guessing because the original claim made you unhappy) and make up a story that all your actions are an expression of love. You deny unhappiness exists in your life thus creating a shadow of it and self deception too.

I don't. Good point.

Great advice

That becoming wise was a “success.” Which is in itself a value judgement. We can succeed at being evil, doesn't make success a good thing. I never put value on it. You brought up the idea that you have become wise as if it was a good thing. The only reason to learn something is because we are unhappy with the amount of knowledge we currently have. Yes I realize there is the flip side (i.e. the joy of learning) but I mean even Leo has said this himself the only reason to get a relationship/job/house is because we aren't as happy as we could be single/poor/homeless.

Proof that we are God. We have the power to create a Badass Jesus or a Gentle Jesus. It's all in your imagination.

So you SUCCEEDED in becoming wise due to the UNHAPPINESS that was caused from being unwise?

True! Thanks Leo I'm not surprised you get it.

Sounds like you were UNHAPPY with my post and now you are trying to SUCCEED in persuading me into something. Thus proving my point.

You are proving the point. This whole paragraph is examples of unhappiness and things that would drive you to success. De Botton explains that even every thought is a solution to a problem and starts as soon as the mothers nipple is denied at infancy and the baby cries. It's all very deep (almost as deep as Leos videos). I recommend watching the first few minutes of the interview. It's profound. PS I'm not saying success is bad but it has unhappiness as it's driver.
