Some questions relating I wish more people would ask. : 1. Is it true? How many of the incels are really celibate, is it really involuntary, and how c...
Currently, I'm not aware that Elon Musk is capable of lifting a colony to Arcturus, and even if he could, it wouldn't relieve much of the population p...
In a way, yes. And it can be a very good one. But it begins relatively late in the child's life, doesn't permit close relationships with other adults ...
It's the movement that created the question. Before the internet, there were married people and single people, happy people and unhappy people, lonely...
Except not jungle-dwelling human societies did live that way. What's recorded in history is conflict between civilizations, which all had a strongly u...
In healthy societies, the child and mother are not isolated: there is extended family; grandparents are an important influence very early in life, as ...
What does this mean? The thread was about this specific internet culture of promoting misogyny. There is no comparison to environmentalists, and it's ...
Okay. Matriarchy means organized on the principles of, and ruled by, motherhood. How do we see motherhood and fatherhood operate in a traditional fami...
Fifty, documented. Nobody knows how many more are similarly motivated. More expected, because the rhetoric is increasingly vicious. And they're not, b...
It isn't. The label is self-assumed, not imposed. The suffering is real, as I have acknowledged more than once. Lots of people suffer for lots of reas...
Yes, and I'm asking who did that to whom, and on what basis. I was there when single women were a routine butt social contempt and ridicule; I missed ...
Show me who first abused single men for being single, or unattractive men for being unattractive. I can recall, not that long ago, unattractive women ...
Nothing else is ever equal. Whatever happens, happens in a historical context; includes and is formed by all that's happened before. I haven't known a...
That's what I'm thinking. Maybe not so much the viciousness and stupidity - okay, I called it odious and loud or something - but attitude. There seems...
In what species? Not elephants, crows, dolphins or or cheetahs. The norm in many human situations today, of course - not so much spoils as commodities...
I'm wondering why. Have they sublimated their sex-drive into violent fantasy? Most of them will - I assume - never act on these impulses to "punish" w...
Very happy to hear you're on top of the situation! A whole lot of parents are bewildered. Astonishing! You'd think the cooking would have clinched it!...
Stop trashing 'jungle rules' - they worked for 300,000,000 years before we bulldozed the jungles. We didn't discover co-operation; social animals pred...
Values, I'm not sure are so different. Some human traits are statistically more often and/or strongly expressed by one sex, but all human traits are p...
It does rather seem to drag on. But that guy drove the van onto the sidewalk in 2018, by when the incel movement was pretty deeply rooted, so it can't...
That would be the minority, just as well-off, attractive men are a minority. I have plenty of respect for the men who deserve it, just as I have none ...
Maybe they should get off their cellphones and go out to the baseball park or volunteer to pick up roadside garbage or join go a voter recruitment dri...
Then one must look to prehistory. Physical attractiveness is not of paramount consideration for women, nor is charisma, compared to dependability, kin...
There is also a high risk that one robs you, one beats you up or even kills you. And no guarantee that any of those guys with a nice picture is nice i...
I don't see chaotic behaviour in animals very often. Only if they are sick or under extreme stress. The individual and the community are not in a natu...
Because misogynists are becoming more odious and numerous and have no desire to modify their own behaviour. Under patriarchal law, they could - and in...
That's a toughie, given that the law of God as taught by most religions runs counter to the laws of nature; that good moral behaviour requires that on...
So what? They just keep thumping on "Thou shalt not kill!" and fail to mention the slaughter of peoples that same god didn't like, or all the other wa...
They don't need to believe - or even know - the particulars, just the central tenet. If the God of the Jews in 1500 BCE said it was wrong, according t...
I told you. Getting all the information I can, listening to all the arguments presented, and then matching up the arguments with the facts and the sum...
Because, it happened through the slow, indirect evolutionary process, not asking or wishing. The evolutionary processes can't be duplicated, because e...
I'll take that with a grain of salt. I tend to respect conviction and consistency more than vacillation and expedient coat-turning. Having listened to...
I don't think anything in this world is black and white - not even the colours black and white. A momentary choice may be binary - jump or hold on; go...
That quote was damaged in the transcription. This was my actual statement: The machine has no life and therefore does not need, want or desire to impr...
I was just saying that realism doesn't prevent me feeling good - old bones permitting - or blind me to the good in the world. Here you go! As to cultu...
on, for, with, by - pesky little prepositions are like tiny ants, all look the same and get in everywhere Yeah, nations were always a bad idea. Such u...
Some do. Many are echoes from the echo-chamber of partisanship and would evaporate if they were ever examined in the light of honest reflection. Which...
We did all that, back in 1955-1970. And at least twice more since. In the US, it seems to come around every couple of political cycles - and each time...
Odd, isn't it? The same people who keep saying, "It's not conclusively proven that changes in wind pattern are caused by human activity." will submit ...
