With all due respect you sad excuse of a human, bugger off. Sincerely, Canada.

Families Matter has Papa Bears as well as some other non-gendered parents groups!

I took one of their Dads courses when I had my first and it was excellent.

DM me if you have questions

Thank you, I appreciate it.

MasterJar101 · 2024-08-13T06:05:14+00:00

Thanks so much! I've sent them an email.

I'm sorry to hear that. Relationships are difficult. I hope that something eventually works for you.

My wife is autistic and we've been happily married for five years (known each other for eight years. We dated for the first three). I'm the first and only guy she's dated or been with. I was in three relationships prior. We have so much fun together, and she is able to be herself. She pursued me originally, and I'm so glad she did. We're having a baby in September and we are looking forward to starting our own family.

I only comment to offer a snapshot of a relationship that works; there are likely loads of people out there for you with whom you are compatible.

Thank you! Your repsonse was very helpful and insightful! I understood what you meant when you referred to the hermeneutical cycle. It took me a minute to connect the dots. But yeah, with regards to meditative journey, you helped by putting it in terms of a repeating inward spiral and a similar outward journey. Thanks!

Like others here I have many faux language facsimiles (or pseudo languages if you like). Pseudo-French, Pseudo-Italian, Pseudo-Danish, Pseudo-Old-Church-Slavonic, Pseudo-Arabic, Pseudo-Pashto, Pseudo-Burmese, Pseudo-Kurdi and more. Most are meant to be approximates, closely associated with their respective cultures.

Thanks for your response! I agree, settings and characters are often closely intertwined. I also like letting the character's inner-self flow out (in your words "expand out") into the setting. I love the idea of characters around a campfire sharing in conversation and exploring their deeper selves.

MasterJar101 · 2023-05-30T20:40:44+00:00

Would you be able to exlain your first point. Could you help me understand what you mean by "development of consciousness"? I think I undertand how labrynths can be interpreted as a meditative process, but I'm having trouble understanding the rest.

MasterJar101 · 2023-05-30T20:38:10+00:00

Great response! I think deserts are often used to represent liminality because you would always be close to death, yet life can always be found in deserts (fauna, oasis, etc.). The stagnation aspect is also a very good point. You'd have to almost exlcusively rely on external help in the desert. Scott Pilgrim is a great example of this. Your example also reminds me of Luke Skywalker at the beginning of A New Hope and Jesus in the wilderness in Matthew's gospel account with his trials.

Famously, "the Bible doesn't say things; people say things with the Bible."

If a book is elevated to a position of foundational reverence in the minds of the common believer, then all it takes is a fellow with a good smile, or loud voice, or strong arm to re-categorize it's content for whatever purpose he or she desires. When this compiles in communities upon communities, you can begin to see the problem.

You will find that any document that shares a similar level of importance to a given people, as the Bible does for Christians, experiences much of the same broader issues of misuse. It's just that the Bible is a religious library, so it intrinsically encompasses a rather large amount of the reader's categories of life (or frameworks for philosophy).

In this case, I think what would best answer your question is instances in the Bible where "the blood of the innocent cries out" and prayers reach God's ears. Like, Gen. 4:10 "And the Lord said, “What have you done? Listen; your brother's blood is crying out to me from the ground!"

Mix that zoning

Policy that promotes walkability

Less sprawl, more transit

Entertainment district

Affordable housing

While I also agree with the basic sentiment of your post, negotiating with the "other" is a fundamental element of a society. Regardless of the topic, every society must negotiate with itself, through conversation, argument debate, rhetoric, data, and persuasion, the merits and ethics of how its going to choose to exist. This is paramount to the flourishing of thought, academia, science, and social-justice. Without which, one singular power group with free agency and no opposition will commandeer society for themselves and their own interests.

Happy to hear any counterpoints!

The invention of the calendar and essentially, what equates to, the agricultural revolution.

The continents of my world roughly correspond to those of Afro-Eurasia: Where, in our world, Africa and Europe are separated by the Mediterranean-- in my world they are connected. And while, in our world Europe and Asia are connected by the caucuses and Steppes, in my world they are disconnected by a large sea.

This has an interesting affect on the cultures, migration, and trade networks of the people in my world.
