If the presence of a woman habitually makes a man crueller, he must protect his soul and leave. Western society is gynocentric, so always looks to shift blame away from the woman, whilst holding the man maximally accountable without really making a fair and honest attempt to scrutinise the negative pressures she is subjecting him to. I think of this through the filter of a father observing his son. If I know my son's personality, and he becomes more destructive, more generally aggressive, lower impulse control, less patient, less reasonable, less optimistic and inspired, less thoughtful, less kind, less loving, and I see him declining in multiple key cognitive, moral, and behavioural areas - I know she is the issue. I know she is bad for him in that she is stressing him beyond what he is built to handle, and not because he is weak, but because his strength, dedication and unwillingness to give up are turned against him, in that they allow him to hang on in there, and receive repeat doses of psychological abuse where other men would have already crumbled, exited, or just surrendered out of tiredness. Most likely he is responding to repeated and deep disrespect: symbolic betrayals, insufferable moral hypocrisy, narrative incoherence and flip-flopping, the repeat violation of agreed upon rules and standards, gaslighting, an enduring refusal to cooperate, persistent unreasonable demands, and uncharitable criticism. It is this constant siege on his nervous system that is stressful to him, and makes him *snap* until he starts becoming a habitually cruel man - a man he was not before he was with her, but is slowly becoming in battling for dominance with her, because she is always fighting *with him*, rather than *for him*. Essentially in fighting a monster, he is becoming one. He is losing his soul to a woman who wishes to control him and drain him more than she wishes to pour into and love him, and so in their tussle for dominance, he becomes ugly. This is why for you as a man, it is actually very simple. If a woman brings out the beauty in you, that is a good woman. Just being with her will make you want to be a better man. You should actually fight for this woman. She elicits your highest self, because this is true and pure love. If you have never experienced this, I hope you do, because this is how it is meant to be. It is not meant to be a toxic forever power struggle. But if you continuously find yourself being your lowest self, a self lower than you would be if you were simply alone doing the things you like to do - if she constantly refuses cooperation, is prone to provocation, devaluation, humiliation etc - you owe her nothing, least of all, the erosion of your soul to master her. You should not become a worse human being just to preserve your authority in a relationship, for it is a false prize, and an unjust reward - she is truly not worth more than the sanctity of your own soul. So ask yourself: does this woman inspire the light in me, or the darkness in me? And if both, is your darkness protective of her in service to her, or wielded against her because she wields hers against you? Does she act like she is your enemy, or like she would crush all of your enemies? If it is the former, you must leave, and if it is the latter, then you are not even asking yourself this question, because you already know: she is great.

Planted popcorn from last years seed, and did a dance with the kernels before putting them in the ground. Felt like that’s what they wanted

I’ve seen the future. We all have green fingers.

“Extending consciousness to the stars” What do you think he could be implying? This along with other musk remarks of recent seem to point towards a belief that within the span of his normal lifespan, he will have the means to extend his existence way (wayyy) beyond the norm. Biologically, spiritually or technologically? That’s the question. Another question…what are the implications for the average joe in either of those cases? Eternal youth? Eternal intelligence? Conscious ascension? I would like to be around to find out.

It’s probably gonna be “the summer” we remember forever. The one where it all really started to change.

One day soon enough there will be a real heated debate over the meaning of what it is to be alive and whether a robot constitutes as a living entity and that will be a good debate. At what point will the destruction of a robot constitute murder instead of vandalism?
