    Curt Doolittle updated his status.

    Local chat at a coffee shop. Woman. Late 50’s. Divorced. Solipsistic, definitely borderline psychotic. Ex-husband. He’s professional, sports entertainment, low agreeableness, high dominance, very successful.

    Talks about how bad a person he is. I am thinking, every time she talks “How the fuck did he put up with you for 27 years?” She must have been a choice piece when young, because that’s the only reason a man will tolerate your constant vocal stream of emotive opining. I mean, she says he had ‘rage’ in the car, when she would prattle. It never seems to occur to her that her narcissistic prattling is enough to make any lose it.

    I mean, personally, I think the guy must be a saint for just not leaving her in hefty bags at the bottom of long island sound.

  • Let women be women. Let me be men. We are both happier for it

    Men develop mindfulness because we are dangerous to ourselves, each other, and others. If men do not have mindfulness they have not engaged in sufficient competitive play with other men. once men have mindfulness they can be taught. Women can be taught as well, but they must be taught mindfulness first, and the only way I know how to do that is stoicism (self authoring). Every other technique only makes them worse. Instead of being angry or frustrated acknowledge that women’s lack of agency is necessary for the raising of children among competing females under the jurisdiction of competing males. I learned in eastern europe that the problem is solved by giving women the permission always and everywhere to ‘be women’, but not giving women permission to tread in the male domain – business, politics, and war. All women must have the right to ‘have and express emotions’. And to let them pass. But they must never treat them seriously when the topic is serious. We are men. Let women be women. Let me be men. We are both happier for it. Reciprocity in everything.

  • Curt Doolittle updated his status. ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT STOICISM Stoicism

    Curt Doolittle updated his status.

    ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT STOICISM

    Stoicism consists of disciplined self authoring.
    The purpose of stoicism is to teach mindfulness.
    Not escapist mindfulness, but actionable mindfulness.
    Not fantasy mindfulness, but actionable mindfulness.
    Not victim mindfulness but actionable mindfulness.
    Enumerate a number of virtues (these are open to debate)
    Write a plan for your life that includes achievements and virtues.
    Every day plan your day. Every night review your progress.
    Repeat this process until you do it by nature.
    The purpose is to insulate you from opinions, influences, and manipulations of others, while gradually achieving your ends, without falling into manipulation, influence, and opining others.
    That’s it.
    That’s all there is to it.
    The rest is just a romance novel we wrap around that discipline.
    It’s the best method we know of so far, with buddhism a far distant, and escapist, second.
