While TFM is correct about the West falling and the East rising, and I understand the point he was making, I believe in the Wed. show he wasn't thinking about the Chinese empires that were thriving during and after Rome.

The notion of "the known world" being ruled by a single dominant power is a bit flexible.

@KingOfWhiteAmerica I was just reading about The Divine Energies, and the language has given a more contemplative perspective on God.

"This supramental sensation of the Living God (which is experienced in contemplation) is accompanied by a vision of light, of light essentially different from physical light. Man himself abides in light because...he then neither sees nor feels his own material being or the materiality of the world."

This is great language for communicating this experience.

@Tfmonkey Do you think that we should put our 6 months of emergency cash into a money market or simply keep it in a checking account and forego the gains it could make in favor of full liquidity? I'm contemplating moving 5 out of the 6 months' funds. That would give me a month's worth while I pull the rest if I need it.

@Tfmonkey I'm not surprised you don't like soy sauce if all you've had is stuff from American Chinese restaurants. There is good tequila and there is gasoline; it's same idea.

Low-quality soy sauce is crap, but you could add a Tbsp of decent soy sauce to braising liquid like you would add a dash of liquid smoke to baked beans or a squeeze of tomato paste into chili. In all such cases, you add umami and increase the meat's "meatiness".

I believe that Mises can be forgiven for his mistaken understanding of female nature as an advocate of classical liberalism because at the time (1922), psychoanalysis was brand new, Evolutionary Psychology didn't exist yet, feminism was in phase 1, and its effects were not felt yet: most families unaffected.
I think if he were alive today, he would conclude that MGTOW is a perfectly reasonable reaction to the market and that female empowerment has brought about the dissolution of the family.

If you've not read "Socialism" by Ludwig von Mises, I would recommend it. In one of the earlier chapters he discusses how the feminist movement has at its heart socialism as a common end.

Additionally, I do not fully agree with some of his conclusions about the potential for female nature to be much more like male nature, but his assessment of the facts are accurate...

@Tfmonkey Here is feedback as you requested at the end of the Saturday show:

It's not gameplay as-such that is the issue. George can play any game, or you can play games like FGO or Killing Floor 2 without issue as you can still discuss things.

Gameplay requires too much concentration such as Path of Exiles 2 during a boss fight or Identity V's gameplay detracts from the show because it becomes visual-only.

If you want those high-concentration games, have another stream for just games.

I've noticed something in my various endeavors to research topics: people tend think in examples rather than categories.

If I am attempting to investigate categories of operations, I will find thousands of specific examples.

Finally, I realized that to discover categories, start from the objective and work through means to achieve it in categories. Working both up and down the conceptual pyramid is a beneficial skill.

Why would you sleep on the couch because your wife is upset at something you said? Unless she is earning more than half of the family's income, assuming splitting all assets according to wages earned, she has no standing to dictate where you sleep.

If a man sleeps on the couch its because he chooses to do so. I would however recommend constructive feedback instead of mere criticism. How is she to improve if you don't provide feedback that is practical?

Because I value sharing my opinion when it might be though provoking, here's my previous post so that everyone will see it without my horrendous faux pas of long posting under a meme:

I was doing some research on demographics in the US. It appears that more than in the past individuals are religiously unaffiliated though still religious, and the younger the segment examined, the greater the percentage of non-affiliation.

I was investigating the proper term for a desire for wholesome interactions with the opposite sex thinking that perhaps it had been classified as a kink given Western society's state, but I found many examples of females saying what they enjoy for dates...

Everything was about them being whores or sluts: the posts were of carnal pleasure or about status and wealth required for unlocking said pleasure.

I am not surprised. I'll simply speak of a desire for wholesomeness without a specific term.

Was last night's show canceled, or has it not been uploaded to Odysee or mgtow.tv?

I've seen many photos of females in snowy conditions wearing short skirts and stockings which leave skin exposed while their torsos and heads are bundled thoroughly in parkas.

This does not make sense to me at all. If it is cold out, wear a long, wool skirt and stockings. Why expose even 10% of the surface area of your skin to the elements?

That's a rhetorical question; I know the reason. I will merely say, they need husbands and fathers to dress them so they don't catch a chill or an STD.

@Tfmonkey Regarding chicken breeding: keep in mind that most farmers cull out very aggressive and territorial roosters for the farmer's benefit, not the chickens' benefit. Fierce roosters are assholes. They'll still keep about 1 rooster for every 10-15 hens, but they intentionally allow the most docile birds to live (for egg or meat production). If they're raising show birds, it's more about looks. It's like raising seedless orange trees: Terrible for the species, great for the farmer.

@Tfmonkey @VooDooMedic "A patriarchy. Rule by fathers. Husbands. Strong men... A society where women know their place...As nature intended."

@Tfmonkey @VooDooMedic (I asked what such a family and by extension a society would be called.)

@Tfmonkey @VooDooMedic "Modern society encourages selfishness. Women are told to prioritize careers over family... Feminism poisons minds against submission. But mostly...They don't understand a woman's true role.To serve her man. Cherish him. Obey him."
