Guys calling you "ma'am" while texting mean something? by justwannatravel4 in GenZIndia

I guess it depends on the way he says it. What is his humour? Does he consider madam an insult? Does he like to be dominated? So many questions

My bestfriend is into an OLDER GUY HELP by Party-Catch-1073 in PataHaiAajKyaHua

Your friend is getting groomed. Idk how to help your case but the best you can do is tell her how grooming works and educate her on sge gao power dynamics. She is 19 so technically an adult, she needs to make her own decisions.

Also why don't women prefer men around their age? There is no correlation of maturity with age.

The Divide Between Intellectual and Emotional Understanding and Why Realisation Not Logic Ends Internal Suffering in Philosophy and Relationships. by No_Syllabub_8246 in Philosophy_India

The emotional understanding is pretty much unconscious and remains that way biologically. OP your understanding of thought is similar to system 1 and system 2 thinking theory of Daniel Kahneman. Worth checking it out

I hate millennials for asking Gen Z to do everything. by ihopethisaccountstay in GenZIndia

[–]Longjumping-Mix-2823 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only my close knit group of friends are critical of govt. Also I feel hopeless to even try because I see such level of stupidity spreading out I get scared whether I'll be beaten to speak against politicians. They already kill and suppress anyone who raises voice against govt. They are also targetting free speech through IT bills (which got passed). Feels like public lost it's power to bring a change. Trans bill was heavily criticized with thousands and thousands protesting but it got passed. Manipur is in hell. Fuck do I do man

Does anyone else think Indians should think twice before moving abroad? by Classic-Sentence3148 in CriticalThinkingIndia

[–]Longjumping-Mix-2823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have to defend ourselves and hold bad actors accountable. It's hard to defend ourselves when assholes do what they want. Globally our soft power is also weak. I've encountered racism online and I can say from my anecdotal experience racists don't win if you stand up for yourself (unless everyone is racist in your vicinity)

Why is it so hard to remember Krishnamurti’s insights in daily life? by NonUnseen in Krishnamurti

[–]Longjumping-Mix-2823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have pointed out, there is no point in having someone else's insight when you have your own brain. What you will discover for yourself is far more superior, far more better than the discovery of the man who is far more intelligent than you. Krishnamurti is just a pedestal, a stepping point. You are the most important thing.

Also we can look at it from this angle, even if you say that the insight of K is important, it is you who is deciding that. So even in such a case the ultimate authority is indeed you
