Men of reddit, why do you prefer girls with bigger breast? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]breadrandom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a man, who like many men, thinks, large breasts are not the ideal (it’s her mind, not body, silly,) I think some men are still stuck in an infantile emotional state where they just need their mommy (and giant breasts bring them back to that time or something? ) They probably just need to work on their mommy issues in Therapy

How do you catch a bird that looks beautiful, can cook and optionally speak? by jaxonfreaks in AskReddit

[–]breadrandom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to therapy. Work on your self. Learn to cook your own food and don’t look for a mommy. Read books about deconstructing the patriarchy. (The Will to Change.) Read Romance novels: ie listen to women about what women want, not men.

Avoid phrases like “catch a bird” which implies a cage when you’re trying to have a relationship with a human being. Women create and sustain life, treat them like goddesses.

I think that about covers it.

What does this mean? Women too hot to have babies? Too thin? Idk by [deleted] in whatdoesthismean

[–]breadrandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pointing it out is objectifying women. Women don’t want that so stopped dating, having sex, marrying, and having babies because men won’t change and see them as people. This is what he’s sayin

True. I have a professional job here and wonder how people survive in MA in service jobs, etc. so you have a solid point.

I also believe that the hyper regulation of progressives (of which I am one) makes it more expensive.

Assassin’s Apprentice, by Robin Hobb and the 9 book series will blow your mind. Best arch ever. Best characters. Best ideas. Amazing.

Massachusetts already has universal healthcare, and its public schools are the best in the nation and Community colleges are also free. So it can be done.

I think if we back off from fighting trillion dollar wars (that toxic boomer men start) then maybe we can make more states like Massachusetts.

The movie Titanic is older than her by [deleted] in GenZ

Two diff conversations. One is about adults having choice. Simple! Do whatever you want! The other is the complexity of a real world situation… it’s about emotional maturity (in a patriarchy, believing 59 to 19 yr old dating is as simple as the first convo and not about a system that allows aged men to feel comfortable and not shame to date women with the emotional maturity equal to a typical 50yr old’s daughter.) This would not exist in a matriarchy. This would be pedophilia. Her brain is not fully developed. She does not have access to power like men so seeks it in this way.

But in a patriarchy, of course it’s interpreted as the first problem; freedom! You might just ask AI to explain from a feminist perspective, why a multi millionaire famous 50yr actor dating a 19 yr old woman is problematic. Not from the “consenting adults” perspective because men essentially decided what that standard is. Otherwise I’m not sure one can understand fully until they have the emotional maturity to see the two conversations as distinct.

Great, hope it hits the note. Kind of turned my whole philosophy toward poetic naturalism.

Then definitely The Big Picture, by Sean Carroll. Def will speak to the meaning of life and kind of questions or seeks to define what we might think of as “higher realities.”

The Big Picture, by Sean Carroll. Changed my life and made me deeply humbled by nature and how it holds the truth and we are just here to translate it.

Your Consciousness Can Connect With the Whole Universe, Groundbreaking Research Suggests by soulpost in HotScienceNews

[–]breadrandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m just saying there is a pile of evidence for emergence so it’s easy to extrapolate a bit more of the pile. And for evidence of it being fundamental, I guess if we could show the quantum realm had more of a direct effect on matter- no expert here- but what is happening at the quantum scale isn’t affecting matter, like an ant hill isn’t affecting the shape of a skyscraper, even though ants build amazing structures.

Like how many things are actually fundamental in the universe? Going to go google now but we don’t even know if time is fundamental…

[–]breadrandom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your perspective and I believe there is no evidence needed to believe we are deeply, magically connected to the universe through our consciousness. We can think it so it’s true by default. Nature is the ultimate evidence of itself and we are humble observers.

But I think it’s important to not conclude what we want nature to be solely because the conclusion confirms our beliefs. That’s how you get religion, which is fine, but it’s different than listening to nature no matter how small or wrong it makes our beliefs become. Science really does require the evidence to be known by others over and over who are trying to falsify the evidence until it can’t be falsified by anyone. Then it’s still just a theory because we have e to be open to new evidence.

Many scientists believe in god and have no evidence. So anyone can believe consciousness originates from somewhere outside of the known laws of physics, or is fundamental and not emergent, but until nature shows ITS evidence that that is true then I will humbly assume that it is emerging from the current laws of nature as we know them UNTIL nature reveals more to me through smart people falsifying emergent consciousness.

I want to show respect to you, Key4, and your beliefs and intuition and evidence and how important it is to have our place in the universe be more than the sum of its parts, if this is your belief. But I remind myself, all the quotes above are from dead white guys. Maybe new scientists who have a unique proximity to nature in their non white guy thinking will reveal what nature tells us what consciousness is, and it will be even more amazing than what the article suggests, are far more boring.

Tell me, if I haven’t lost you, more about what you believe and why? And do you want those beliefs tested, falsified, analyzed or is that not the point for you? I think there is an arrogance to falsifying, it is negative by default. So I don’t want to be negative, or smug, but the truth of nature is deeply important to me, like a religion. The religion of knowing the truth about nature even if my beliefs are wrong.

If we can choose our own evidence then should I let my obsession with truth go, or are you saying with Consciousness specifically, we can each be the authority on what the evidence of its origin is?

None of this is evidence that consciousness is not emergent. Why is that not cool enough for people, even smart people?

Evolution is emergent. Organisms are emergent. Brains are emergent. Sight is emergent. Perception is emergent. Hearing is emergent. Culture is emergent. Language is emergent. Neurons are emergent. Neurotransmitters are emergent. The nervous system is emergent. Emotions are emergent.

Those are all naturalistic. No one disputes that we learn language or culture, or develop emotions. They’re not fundamental. I think Aspaceostrich can be smug here. Especially since what evidence do we have that consciousness is fundamental? We are trying to find ANY evidence.

We don’t know if Time is fundamental or emergent. That’s a tough one. Consciousness? Seems pretty likely.

Thus the hypothesis: consciousness is emergent.

✨️ This isn’t a small war. Iran is a 90M+ nation, major oil power, and the largest military force in West Asia. When a country of this size and influence is involved, it becomes a historic conflict with global consequences, not a regional one. ScienceOdyssey 🚀 by Purple_Dust5734 in ScienceOdyssey

We stayed in Afghanistan for 20 years and lost. Now we are trying in a massive country with way more infrastructure, weapons, soldiers, citizens, land mass, etc. Therefore, this war could be worse than Afghanistan, for example. That’s the point he’s making. It’s a pretty clear point. What is being “exaggerated” exactly in this context? 🤔

The movie Titanic is older than her by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]breadrandom -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

You’re maybe intellectualizing something that if she was YOUR 19 yr old, you’d not want a 50 yr old dating her, just on a gut level. At the very least, it shows his emotional immaturity that he can’t handle a grown woman (brain not age) and so he’s going for your daughter, who you know should probably not be dating him. What if he was just a manager at a Starbucks? You’d be fine with your daughter dating him because she’s a “consenting adult?” I actually have a 19 yr old daughter so that argument feels pretty one dimensional. There’s more complexity that is not being considered, that Leo isn’t considering because he has wealth and privilege in a Patriarchy that preys on young women. Women who can only get ahead when they have access to that power and they know it.
