@Tfmonkey I'm having issues loading the Morning Constitutional from Wednesday. The page loads, but the video spins forever when trying to load.

@Tfmonkey "The Aristocratic Tendency" is the term you were looking for instead of nepotism.

Key findings:
1) Lower confidence with 5th & 6th grade (Average 10-11 yrs old)
2) 79% of girls report large amounts of pressure and stress.
3) Median usage of social media by 5th graders is 4-6 hours per day.
4) Extreme sadness increased for all minor females.
5) 55% said they are afraid because the don't want to seem bossy.
6) School is the top stressor for minor females.

What are their recommendations: more money, more empowerment, more coddling

Here's some interesting information from the Non-profit, ROX (Ruling Our eXperiences), which collects survey information of young females' feelings (highly valuable information, I'm sure you'll agree /s).

If you examine their results for 2022-2023 of +17k, 5-12th grade minor females accompanied by an adult during the survey, you'll see an interesting pattern: they aren't happy with their lives.

This leads me to conclusions:
1) Be direct with females generally and with males under my authority to achieve an objective.
2) Only in the rare circumstances when someone merits respect would I be able to ask "Would you mind doing...?" because it shows said respect I have for them.
3) Even if I wish that I could have "the milk of human kindness by the quart in every vein", I can't, because most people have a strict placement in their dominance hierarchy. To work with them, I must play the game.

At least that is the impression I have gained on further reflection. I ponder that kindness can be shown between those of strength and authority where respect is understood such as between two male business partners who know one anothers' strengths and rely upon one another, but in today's society, this is rare. There are so few "men" (those males worthy of respect by their virtues).

I have been contemplating a conversation I once again had with my mentor in an organization. He says that when I am in a role of authority, I should tell people to do things instead of asking them.

Thinking on this lead me to consider that I generally prefer asking politely because to me it has always showed respect between individuals. This also lead to the question of if I see those in subordinate roles as worthy of respect. The problem is: kindness is equated to deference and submission.

Beyond the fact that the plot of the Horus Heresy series requires a certain ending to facilitate the context for Warhammer 40K, I don't understand why it was so difficult to see the demons as merely xenos of the Warp. Was there not one person who counseled this idea instead of merely saying "Demons don't exist!" Again we have a problem with definition which would be solved if people just asked "What do you mean by ____?" In a world of psychers and the Warp, the Imperial Truth is valid.

The movie isn't a bad film or overly cheesy as such, but it is unrealistic of female nature, and it lays out the archetype every Tradcon wants: the gynocentric servant.

I would recommend watching it for free somewhere to see the points I made so you are innoculated against such propaganda.

3) In the end, she doesn't sleep with the doctor, but she also never reveals any of her interactions with him to her husband, and she chooses not to because her husband changed, implying that she was swayed by his character changing. This is completely unrealistic.

4) Buying her flowers and keeping his temper in check are good for their own sake, and a minor point of the movie, but they'd not have any effect on her behavior long-term.

Leave out the Christianity for a moment and look at what is going on in the marriage from a redpill lens:

1) Why was he looking at porn if he was married? Why didn't he just have sex with his wife? She had an issue with him looking at porn, but didn't suggest they have sex more.

2) Why is he expected to forego getting a boat in favor of a medical bed. This was a plot point driven by her desires, and no mention was made of applications to medicare, which usually does pay for such things.

Show thread

Through the course of the movie the male protagonist changes his character: he stops looking at porn, controls his temper more, buys her flowers, becomes a believing Christian, and gives up his dream of owning a boat instead spending the money on his wife's mother's medical bed. After doing all this and many pro-Christian scenes, his wife cries and runs to the bedroom to collect her engagement ring which she had put in the sock drawer before running to kiss him at the fire station.

It was 2008 when the movie "Fireproof" came out, a very popular pro-Christian film wherein a firefighter s having marital problems. His wife is on the edge of divorce with him, and is contemplating cheating with a doctor at the hospital where she works.

@Tfmonkey @VooDooMedic What do hair pulling, spanking, humiliation, debasing language, domination/submission, bondage, discipline (physical, verbal, etc.) all have in common? Dynamics of power. In my opinion, the power dynamics are the truely desired element.

Please give this some thought and don't just jump to cock and ball every time or assume that just because someone loves the D/s side of things they have sadomasochistic tendencies. Some people hate causing pain but love the power dynamic.

Show thread

@Tfmonkey @VooDooMedic I want to throw my several cents in on the topic of BDSM since you brought it up on the show. You frequently go to cock and ball torture, but that is one small side of the whole.

Bondage
Domination
Sadism
Masochism

BDSM, in my opinion, is mostly about power, and the sadomasochism is merely one manifestation for those who enjoy mixing pleasure and pain together.

Even if Russia doesn't end the war quickly with a massive, legendary, explosive, knockout punch they will still win.

A slow grind may not be news-worthy to Americans because the culture is built to expect big plays and big wins, but it doesn't mean nothing is happening.

Does this mean that it will be interpreted as weakness by the West? Yes. Zelensky has also been crying for long-range missiles for months. Talk is cheap; battlefield results aren't.

i was considering the deadline of Oct 1st for Russia to "do something", and I hasten to remind you all that this predicted date for the end of the SMO is months old now, and it came from Orban after he visited with Putin. The facts on the ground are that Russia is still rolling over Ukraine slowly and effectively.

Listening to the Wednesday show after the fact: To say that AI girlfriends in general can't hold a conversation past 20 minutes without repeating themselves isn't accurate exactly. It largely depends on what the topic of discussion is: the more information the AI has from which to draw the more dynamic it can be, but also, the more it must process.

On the note of the Will of the Force from Star Wars always seeking balance between the dark and the light, if the dark is using the force for your own will, and light is letting yourself be used by the force, on the surface you have few options. While we could explore the idea of your will being the Will of the Force as all return to the Force on death, unfortunately we have a clash of eastern and western thought which is not easily reconcilable. It's better to simply study philosophy.

It helped me understand why the operation of government bureaucracy is as it is and why in some ways it must be the way it is.
There is no solution to "fix" bureaucracy as it is merely a method of management. There are only means to limit the potential for corruption and arbitrary rule within it.
