@TheDao ... yup. A JP fan, like I thought. My advice still stands: lay off the reactionary sources for a while and read about feminism from scratch. Start with earlier feminism (e.g. Simone de Beauvoir) and move yourself upwards and see where they supposedly went wrong.

When have I ever done that?

You see, when a man cries, he has to be Green. That is the rule

I don't think he mentioned anything about Zen

I don't think it's a coincidence that this video was released now after he created a clips channel and started doing interviews. This video serves as a good entry point for outsiders into Actualized.org as it's about a famous self-help-related figure. It also gives a short intro to SD and how to apply it in practice (and you've certainly heard about that before), so I don't see why the God part should be left out (that's after all the highest teaching provided here). If you already get it, good for you.

Rationalwiki is the encyclopedic equivalent of reaction video YouTube.

We don't actually disagree. I might have worded myself a bit inaccurately. Maybe a better word would be "not ideal". At least other types of sleeping medications tend to lose their effect over time (and in that sense, it's not an effective long-term solution). I've also used melatonin before as recommended by a doctor (my mom lol). I should've emphasized that there is a distinction between a diagnosis (for example a sleeping disorder) and the symptoms used to set the diagnosis (diagnostic criteria). While it's true that insomnia can be listed as a symptom in rhythm disorders, these symptoms disappear when the rhythm stabilizes. Only when the symptoms of insomnia are not exclusively linked to rhythm disturbances, then this can start to fit the diagnosis of "insomnia" as a sleeping disorder (if they appear in the right frequency and severity). Insomnia and rhythm disorders are therefore different diagnoses with similar symptoms. It's just a technical detail, but it's a part of the psychology curriculum here

Not everybody can wield the ring of power.

Reminds me of this one

I only have unserious pictures from Snapchat where my hair doesn't look like I got struck by lightning

Women also suffer when their husbands die and war is a part of patriarchy. Who else are sending men to their deaths but other men? ?

And "Deconstructing the myth of science" does not? ?

The irony is that you're now using sociology as an argument Like you said: "its a way too one sided analysis". You can atleast try to not come off as a troll. Until then, see you later ✌

I don't understand that you have to agree with the person to find the video interesting.

Reactionism is a political philosophy that defines itself directly in opposition to some widespread and often progressive idea in order to restore a former status quo. For example anti-SJWs, anti-feminists. You're talking about YouTubers reacting to other videos and pop-culture, which is not the same thing (but many of them are also political reactionaries).

Do you even know what a reactionary is?

You don't know my guy Jordy P? ?

I actually think it may help. My mood, concentration, sleep and of course libido goes to shit when I don't work out. If you're young and don't have any underlying medical conditions, doing physical exercise with a lack of sleep shouldn't be dangerous. Exercise floods your brain with relaxing chemicals and promotes sleep later in the day.

@Roy @Ananta For treating insomnia, melatonin pills can help to re-establish a normal relationship to sleep and getting back into the groove of things (conditioning), but it's not an effective long-term solution (as with most sleeping medication). It's primarily used to treat circadian rhythm disorders which is not the same thing as insomnia. Even though it's an endogenous compound that seems to be well tolerated in the short-term, very little is known about the side effects of taking it exogenously in the long-term.

Sleep hygiene: No caffeine before bed, reduce nicotine intake before bed, don't use alcohol as sleeping medicine, don't sleep in the afternoon, don't sleep longer on weekends, regular physical exercise (no exercise 3-4 hours before bed), reduce exposure to light and other forms of stimulation 3-4 hours before bed (physical, mental, emotional). Other remedies include warm bath 2 hours before bed, regular sleep-waking schedule, don't go to bed starving but not too full either, don't look at the time during the night, sleep in a silent, dark, chilled room. Only use your bed as a place to sleep. If you can't fall asleep within 15 minutes, exit your bedroom, stay in another room and return when you're tired again (this avoids conditioning your mind to associate lying in bed with being awake).

"Just google it" ?

Sociology is literally why feminism exists. But it's ok, I won't disturb your fantasy any longer.

You keep answering "yes" without going into the details. I'm not interested in posturing. Answer my point about sociology.

@TheDao Do you read anything from scratch or do you just follow reactionary movements (red pill, MRA etc.)? I think I understand now why you couldn't elaborate on why sociology is supposedly not a science. If you had actually read something about sociology, you would not give this idea of "oppressor" so much moral weight. Sociology deals with people at the group level, and you cannot generalize from the group to the individual. It's not so much that each individual male is intentionally oppressing every female in their life, but rather it's a way of describing a complex, historical, systemic, multi-layered, interactionist equation at the group level.

Realizing relativity doesn't cage you in. It sets you free. Why would you be down and depressed when you're light as a feather? You can't truly be nihilistic when you're radiating love.
