As far as we know, it’s all genetics and children require only one hour of school per day plus reading time.

Humor, clownishness, and silliness are just a shield to defend against engaging

Humor, clownishness, and silliness are just a shield to defend against engaging in the stupidity of others, and avoiding the effort of correction and education.

Common people both appreciate simple humor, and they don’t carry the burden of the academy’s pseudo religion. Nor do they believe in the benevolence of government.

Smart people try to signal it and it’s difficult to just ignore their stupidity and programming. Simple people talk about simple things and it’s just less frustrating to be around them. And they tend to appreciate it if you explain something interesting to them.

So that is why I enjoy the company of the common people. It’s emotionally rich and it’s less polluted with the signaling of the cathedral. And so I don’t feel the constant need to defend the informational commons.

So I know how to put it into words now:

These women are more beautiful. The look and act feminine. They are perfectly happy celebrating womanhood and expressing it. They are cautious but willing. But they are not emotionally available. And when they appear to be it is just what they consider good manners.

We are more emotionally available. We have lost a great deal in obtaining that emotional availability.

Relationships are where ours were centuries ago.

So this is one of the reasons men cheat here so frequently.

Now I have to think about this more.

I suspect it correlates with the creativity deficit here.

Hmmm….

Contempt is just the first step to hatred. Contempt starts with a lie to yoursel

Contempt is just the first step to hatred.

Contempt starts with a lie to yourself – an over-expectation.

Contempt blossoms when you cannot believe your own lie.

Contempt starts as expression and matures with anger.

Some of us experience tragedy.

Most of us survive it – at a cost.

Some of us break our minds.

Some of us break our hearts.

Some of us break our souls.

Some of us break all three.

Some of us compensate with exaggerated love

Some of us compensate with exaggerated acceptance

Some of us compensate with exaggerated discipline.

Some of us compensate with exaggerated disdain.

It is a mistake to over-invest in fixing broken people

Unless they are willing to over-invest in fixing broken others too.

SOURCE OF MOST UNHAPPINESS? Most of unhappiness in life is caused by the desire

SOURCE OF MOST UNHAPPINESS?

Most of unhappiness in life is caused by the desire that people behave as we wish them to, rather than to behave as they do, as they prefer to do, and as it is in their interest to do. People are rational. They act in their own interests, to the best of their ability to comprehend their interests, when offset by the risk and reward of pursuing alternative interests.

Philosophers are as guilty of this error as any other person.
