| 1 | The Red Pill and the Ultimate Attribution ErrorLow-empathy is actually quite normal in healthy people. A low-empathy, ethical person would be uninterested in your psychological minutiae, and wouldn't be interested in emotional reciprocity, but they would be open about that and your relationship with them would have obvious, healthy boundaries. Essentially, a low-empathy, ethical person is a stereotypical masculine male who is gone at work a lot and isn't an asshole. I think your reaction to the idea of someone with low empathy is interesting… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/05/16 10:53 PM |
| 1 | Q4B: What's wrong with liberal feminism?My point is that these words don't really mean anything. One cannot inform these terms. I wasn't saying there are consequences to freedom, but that freedom doesn't exist as a concept in the first place: it's just a religious vessel of terminology. To every single political constituency, their definition of nihilism and liberalism are different. I'm not saying you personally are guilty - I have no idea - but just that the artifacts representing these terms are different depending on the religion.… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/05/16 09:48 PM |
| 1 | Q4B: What's wrong with liberal feminism?I take a psychoanalytic stance that what you're saying is essentially an expression of libertarian religion. A mysterious force has stolen happiness, and the mysterious force is "lack of freedom" or "lack of free market". Nobody has a historical record of when we were "free" or when a "free market" existed, so we can worship the mysterious thief of our happiness for all eternity, and never assess the context of what would constitute the freedom of feminists or women to change society. Anything t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/05/16 09:01 PM |
| 3 | The Red Pill and the Ultimate Attribution ErrorEh. The same thing is true of Blue Pill culture. Their insights are subjective and words like "gaslighting" are equally susceptible to sophistry and neurotic manipulation. Let's face it: most of the human race lives without the official ideologies of both groups, and the people in both groups have no evidence of being more successful than the rest of humanity, so what's really the point of calling either group self-improvement? It's much more likely that people in both groups are finding sociabl… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/05/16 08:20 PM |
| 1 | The Red Pill and the Ultimate Attribution ErrorI think the fundamental simultaneous perversion and strength of relationship advice in general is how little it speaks to the individual. Specifically, what I mean by this is the fact that relationship advice seeks to transform its listener into a person with general strength, rather than solve the structural problem of dating. Meanwhile, the two assets a person has in finding a mate have nothing to do with their general strength: availability (how often the person meets people in reasonable set… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/05/16 08:09 PM |
| 1 | Q4B: What's wrong with liberal feminism?You have a completely false invention of "freedom" in your premise. Freedom doesn't exist. All conversations which proceed from a premise of "we need more free will" are littered with nonsense. The question you're really asking has nothing to do with freedom because freedom doesn't exist. You're asking about permissiveness, what kind there should be and who should determine it. Feminism makes people angry because it constructs a system of social shunning against people who disagree with it. Soci… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/05/16 07:59 PM |
| 1 | Husband gets no BJ's for 2 years, gets advice to be kinder to the wife and don't pressure her. Sex life goes from everyday to never. What are your thoughts on this?I think specifically evidence suggests here that readers are unable to find salient details, and instead parade off to confirm their biases. This story is eccentric in terms of mental health because the couple was fucking 3-4 times a day, every day, 5 years into their relationship. Some type of obsession was involved - one which isn't normal - and obsessions often end. The situation is not diagnosable using average culture-bound advice. I had a friend who was in a sexual relationship with someon… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/05/16 07:50 PM |
| 1 | Husband gets no BJ's for 2 years, gets advice to be kinder to the wife and don't pressure her. Sex life goes from everyday to never. What are your thoughts on this?I radically disagree with everyone's comments so far about this. The original story includes this quote: | We went from having sex 3-4 times a day about 6 months ago, to not having sex at all in almost 2 months. I'm sorry, but being years into a marriage and having sex 3-4 times a day every day indicates some kind of mental health trait that would have to be understood before going any further. I'm not saying she is "insane" or that it's "unhealthy" or any such simplistic thing. But more signifi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/05/16 07:44 PM |
| 0 | If women get tingles from men cooking, cleaning and baking, why don't men get tingles from women going to and coming back from work?Because (shitty industrial or clerical) work doesn't turn anyone on, but skills like cooking turn everyone on. Also, doing chores comforts everyone in the house. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 24/02/16 05:07 AM |
| 1 | If a man is not having lots of sex, does that automatically make him a loser?well, not really Are you saying it's not transparently obvious that lower class men are expected to work in those jobs with workplace fatality? I agree with you that women's right to vote is often viewed outside of a historical narrative and that this is completely imbecilic, anti-intellectual, divisive and destructive. We do that with everything though. We tell ourselves we went into WWII like good and decent people who saved the world, that Hitler was a bad bad man and we are good good good, a… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/02/16 01:30 AM |
| 3 | Has the pill sphere compromised your capacity for general empathy towards the human race?News cycle addictive use as a stimulant causes people to be less happy a lot of times. People do it for the same reason they drink coffee: stress feels recreational to the human body. That's why there's action and heartbreak in movies, to stimulate us. The news and arguments about politics are a manifestation of the least satisfying versions of this dynamic, because they involve all of the stress, none of the closure, none of the empathy, none of the positivity and none of the comfort. I work wi… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/02/16 01:21 AM |
| 4 | CMV: Women with a high N count display poor impulse control that bleeds into other aspect of their life.This is basically 100% of the problem with his logic but he doesn't get it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/02/16 01:18 AM |
| 1 | If a man is not having lots of sex, does that automatically make him a loser?Don't you think the real reason nobody talks about men's suffrage is that in order to do that, you would have to talk about class, and absolutely everyone in America refuses summarily to discuss the idea that social mobility for certain groups of people is, objectively, in the shitter, sucks complete ass, and has only gotten worse? When MRAs say things like "men work the dangerous jobs", that's a bullshit move - it's about class long before it's about gender. Same thing about the military. It's … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/02/16 01:05 AM |
| 2 | Do you ever allow yourself to think it's an imperfect world and the imperfect outcome of a case like Jian Ghomeshi's will actually be a pretty good approximation of justice?I'm simply saying that if he weren't scuzzy, people wouldn't have reacted scuzzily towards him. Precisely. This is part of the good part of how society can function. He got away with too much bullshit that danced on the edge of illegal. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/02/16 12:52 AM |
| 1 | Do you ever allow yourself to think it's an imperfect world and the imperfect outcome of a case like Jian Ghomeshi's will actually be a pretty good approximation of justice?Yeah, Ghomeshi is a creep, but if he did anything nonconsensual, the move is to walk away. See, that's where I think people misunderstand the case. He was famous, prominent in an arts community/the media, and was doing this to women in that same community, while posing as a feminist. There's free will to walk away from a douche in a bar, which I agree with you -- we should all exercise. And then there's behavior like Ghomeshi's in the real world, where the person takes a prominent power stance a… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 21/02/16 12:40 AM |
| 1 | Discussion: Paid parental leave benefits everyoneI'm sorry you even had to read the responses to your post. Looking over what people are replying with, right-wing people really have an insane libertarian ideology bias where no rational thought can intrude. They literally don't even comprehend the way social benefits work, much less care about how manageable the size/cost would be. They only care about arguing for an ideology of "freedom". If a business has less "freedom" to have less overhead.. if people have less "freedom" to not have childre… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/02/16 10:16 PM |
| 2 | Introverts, reserved people and "fake it til you make it"Introversion has nothing to do with shyness unless you have OCD about it. Actual introversion means "someone who loses energy around people". The reason is because the person essentially views being around people as inherently stressful, performative, or something to be managed, rather than as pure community. I am an introvert. I can only "gain energy" around someone I completely 100% trust. And when I meet people who I don't trust and spend time with them, it's profoundly draining and I would s… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/02/16 10:06 PM |
| 3 | Discussion: Paid parental leave benefits everyoneThe whole idea that offshoring is "more" or "less attractive" is such a free market delusion... offshoring happens because transnational corporations control the governments. There is no free market. This whole conversation about the meaning and benefit of maternity leave being had in the context of some kind of imaginary free capitalism is the entire problem with American ideology. People believe we have "freedom" when such a concept can't be explained, demonstrated or refuted. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/02/16 09:21 PM |
| 1 | Do you ever allow yourself to think it's an imperfect world and the imperfect outcome of a case like Jian Ghomeshi's will actually be a pretty good approximation of justice?Gay rights =/= slapping someone on the first date and figuring out later if they're cool with it. Agree to disagree. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/02/16 09:03 PM |
| 1 | Do you ever allow yourself to think it's an imperfect world and the imperfect outcome of a case like Jian Ghomeshi's will actually be a pretty good approximation of justice?That was my whole point. He'll probably be acquitted. It's not a great case. This is good. As far as your comment about whether or not he should lose his job, do you think there's any cultural, non-illegal thing a famous face of radio could do to get fired? I mean, it just sounds like you have an ideology where no example works. I assume you've read profiles of his lifelong behavior in McLeans, etc. He was chronically abusive at work, not just in sexual harassment contexts. It sounds like you ju… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/02/16 08:47 PM |
| 1 | Do you ever allow yourself to think it's an imperfect world and the imperfect outcome of a case like Jian Ghomeshi's will actually be a pretty good approximation of justice?It's a nonsensical conversation to even be having. All sex has power dynamics, all sex at its heart is BDSM of some kind. The question is, what types of activities are psychologically destructive, particularly in the context of a famous person. BDSM people do not support what Jian Ghomeshi allegedly did, of just "trying it out" and seeing if someone likes it. You're supposed to establish the experience level of a person before you ever do anything like that. It is so easy to imagine an artsy gir… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/02/16 08:08 PM |
| 1 | Do you ever allow yourself to think it's an imperfect world and the imperfect outcome of a case like Jian Ghomeshi's will actually be a pretty good approximation of justice?I think you might be underestimating how miserable Lucy DeCouteure's life is. My point is that the way dialogue happens now between feminism and anti-feminism, even though anti-feminist people think that Lucy is swaddled in a loving blanket of PC culture, there are actually people yelling at both Lucy and Jian in exactly the way you describe, and things aren't going their way no matter what they do, no matter how the court case comes out. In other words, they both have overstepped their bounds a… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/02/16 08:02 PM |
| 0 | Do you ever allow yourself to think it's an imperfect world and the imperfect outcome of a case like Jian Ghomeshi's will actually be a pretty good approximation of justice?I feel like you haven't read descriptions of how long he's been womanizing, slapping women on first dates to see if they like BDSM, or sexually harassing people. There are thorough descriptions of him using his fame to not just have fun sex but the kind of destructive behavior that people resent. It's possible to have sexual behavior that is completely legal and so thoroughly disgusting that eventually you end up in court. I think you might not understand what I'm saying in the post -- if you ac… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/02/16 07:56 PM |
| 1 | Do you ever allow yourself to think it's an imperfect world and the imperfect outcome of a case like Jian Ghomeshi's will actually be a pretty good approximation of justice?People get dragged in court all the time, with crappy out comes for both sides. Have you ever been involved in a legal process? Part of what's intended by the law is actually just to make both sides suffer -- part of the intention of court is to make you not take it lightly and not participate in legal processes whenever you want. They are excruciating by their nature and put your emotional life in paralysis. You don't really "get away with" court unless you are a sociopath with no emotions or a… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 19/02/16 07:54 PM |
