Stop trying to control the Universe, instead, control your level of awesome.

Emotions are signals from your subconscious. They need to be listened to and understood. It's a horrible idea to blindly act on them as they are often complex, but they always need to be heard.

Shitting on patriarchy is not support for matriarchy. Any society "lead" by half the population while the other half is suppressed is by definition horrible.

There really isn’t such a thing as ‘masculinity’ or ‘femininity’, there is only biology and how we manage it. A ‘good man’ or a ‘good woman’ is simply someone who is doing a good job managing the benefits and burdens of their biology.

In a world ruled by violence the most violent will rule.

Hypothesis: Ancient civilizations were not nearly as male lead or ‘patriarchal’ as we tend to think they were. We are viewing those places through our current patriarchal lens. I was having a chat with ChatGPT about ancient civilizations and was wondering why it wasn’t mentioning some of my favorites. It explained that some of those places didn’t have clear hierarchy, or clear military rule, and so they didn’t count… interesting. So any culture that didn’t have a clear hierarchy or clear military leaders essentially doesn’t count as a civilization? Wow. Have you ever read a history book and noticed that it’s 90% the history of wars? Kinda sad to view the world that way. And our culture seems to equate military might and military decision making with leadership. ...we equate violence with leadership. Very patriarchal, and not at all healthy. And of course men have a natural advantage in violence and we need women to make the babies, and so it’s mostly men in the military. In a world ruled by violence the most violent will rule. Patriarchy. What do you think? Note: As always, "patriarchy" ≠ men bad. Patriarchy is a culture that hurts everyone.

I think most of us were raised with the idea that patriarchy was the way in which the world always has been. But the more we look at humanity, certainly the more I learn, the more we see that that isn't the case. Patriarchy does not seem to be the norm in hunter gatherer tribes, and there is a lot of evidence to suggest that it also wasn't a norm in many early civilizations. Note: matrilocal does not imply matriarchy, but it does signal a likely lack of patriarchy. There is a lot of reason to believe early civilizations like Çatalhöyük, the Indus Valley civilization, the Minoan civilization, etc. were pretty egalitarian.

Intelligence is not the primary factor in competence. Emotional maturity is.

I just got off the phone with my 93 yr old grandma. She called asking me to explain Bitcoin to her. ...top signal?

There are people out there who are using women’s caring instincts against them to intentionally put them in a vulnerable position so that they can be treated like second class citizens. Truly evil. And this idea is on the rise. There is nothing inherently wrong with someone being a stay at home parent and often these setups, single family home, stay at home Mom setup, came about mostly from the logistics of the situation. Certainly there was active repression of women during these times, but the major driving force in this was likely logistics. Gender roles were survival roles. However, these ‘traditional’ roles do put women in a logistically vulnerable position. And the single family home stay at home Mother is not at all a norm, it’s a wild anomaly for humanity. But women get guilted into these roles using some dodgy science. There are some commonly referenced studies that are used to show that children need to be attended to by their mothers alone and used to say that’s it’s damaging to children, and creates adults with attachment issues, when they are not constantly attended to by their mothers. Well, when you look at theses studies, what they did was look at how children respond to their mothers vs a stranger. And, very unsurprisingly, young kids get freaked out by being held by a stranger. That is obvious and appropriate. What these studies did not included is having a child be held by it’s mother vs being held by a know trusted person, an aunt or uncle, the lady at the day care center they have been going to for a year, etc. No where in human history, accept for perhaps pockets of the western world between the years 1945-1965, do we see children being cared for primarily by only their mothers. All thorough out humanity kids were cared for by a collection of people. Generally mother, father, siblings, extended family members, and close family friends. So if you are dropping your kids off at a new random day care center every day, yes that is likely to cause them issues. If you drop them off at their regular day care center, or their uncle’s house, no, that is not going to damage your kid. Here is what I would like you to see so that you can be someone who is capable of looking out for your self and/or the women in your life. There are people out there, certainly the red pill crew and parts of the ‘conservative’ community, that actively seek to return to a world where women are second class citizens. They will say so openly with phrases like “women shouldn’t be involved in the public world”, “women aren’t capable of independent thought”, “Men are the natural leaders and women need to follow men’s leadership”, etc. These people will claim that the single family home, stay at home Mom setup is the natural way of the world and what has always existed, and will tell women that they are abusing their kids if they don’t do this. ...they are using women’s caring instincts against them to intentionally put them in a vulnerable position so that they can be treated like second class citizens. Again, evil. I encounter this, my friends encounter this. People follow me around rooms to give me these lectures and tell me why I should go back home. While again there is nothing inherently wrong with someone being a stay at home parent, pushing women into this makes them vulnerable to those who want to abuse them. And the idea that a stay at home Mom is the only way to do things, and anything else is a “feminist conspiracy” and/or “the destruction of masculinity” is heavily pushed by those who do wish to subjugate women. Please be aware of this. Please help me to push back on this trend in the world.

The single family home, stay at home mother is a wild anomaly in human history.

ChatGPT - Single Family Home History

The single family home, stay at some Mother set up is an anomaly for humanity. It's unnatural, generally not very healthy, and serves to hold women back from being full participants in the world. This does not mean that I think anyone who is or has done this is a bad person. Not at all. Quite a lot of people have chosen this because it was a solution that matched the logistics of the time and place there were living. I chose this setup for that reason for years. No doubt for some people this is an optimal situation. But now with more education and perspective, I can see that for most people, the world would be a better more healthy place if we changed the logistics that make this such a prominent setup.
