The problem is, large parts of each country are supporting their government in what they’re doing.

You mean the human race, right?

Close the biology gender gap!

I fear this is a problem that may never be solved. I mean that people of any intelligence fall for the mind’s biases.

There’s just too little to be gained feelings-wise. Yeah, you make better decisions, but you’re also sacrificing “going with the flow”, acting like our nature wants us to act. Going against your own nature is hard and sometimes painful.

Making wrong decisions is objectively worse, leading to worse outcomes, but if it doesn’t feel worse (because you’re not attributing the effects of the wrong decisions to the right cause, i.e. acting irrationally), then why should a person do it. If you follow the mind’s bias towards attributing your problems away from irrationality, it’s basically a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Great article.

You’re absolutely right, but the average person does not think like you. Most people don’t ever think about stuff like this.

And so you currently have a very “high-level”, rational view of technology, that makes it amazing specifically for you.

However, you either disregard or lack contact with people that are (vastly) different. When looking at a technology in relation to the world, like you want to know about in this topic, you have to view the effects on those different people from you as well. And what other people in this thread said is simply observable and happening. A very small percentage uses the internet/technology like you do. The overall effect on the population is not solely amazing.

You’re saying they’re looking for an excuse to shut down? Yeah honestly that’s what I figured, locking comments doesn’t make any sense otherwise.

After the call for admins, there was never an indication that the search wasn’t going well. Honestly, I would’ve put some time in (& I’m sure many others would’ve) if we’d known closure was imminent.

Exactly the same, just that I don’t use a screen protector either.

This thing has been dropped so much that I think it’s just undestroyable, the new Nokia 3310

It’s not the absolute truth. But it’s most likely the largest part of the explanation.

People like putting blame on “society”, and while societal pressures surely play a part, the reason it’s so nice to mainly blame society is because it creates a problem that has an acceptable solution.

Because what do you say when you say society is mainly to blame here? You’re saying it’s completely fine for many men not to have sex. Just have to fix society making it hard for them to live without sex. If my assumption is correct though, that doesn’t help those men very much. But who does it help? Anyone those men would want to have sex with, because they’re not under “threat” anymore.

I mean, that’s basically the same as Arch.

There’s always more to it as well. That’s maybe what people don’t get. Yeah, not having sex is terrible, but if it’s the only thing unpleasant it’s bearable. But if other shit starts piling on top, then it becomes misery. Then people might say “oh it’s only society”.

Hope you’ll feel better friend. Seems you’ve got the masturbation going nicely already, so that helps 🤣

Also I don’t think it’s worth the effort to teach my parents yet another messaging app, like signal.

My friend, just set up Signal on their phones, put it in place of the Telegram app and watch them not even notice anything changed.

It’s not though. I’m not working backwards. I’m just not writing a dissertation. It’s possible to observe lack of sex leading to psychological pain in all the different societies throughout all of history we have as humans. It’s incredibly more likely to be caused by our biology than by artificially created societal expectations.

Dunno what to tell you, but your second sentence is just wrong. It is mainly “men mad because monke brain want sex”.

You only think it’s not because like you said, you can’t relate to most people since you’re asexual.

It’s literally the most natural thing in the world to equate reproductive effectiveness to worth. All life is “worth” their reproductive effectiveness. So not having sex is very relevant to our entire existence as a species.

As such, our mental faculties put a heavy punishment in the form of mental pain, i.e. “self-worth attached to getting laid”, on this whole thing.

This has very little to do with societal expectations. It’s simple biology. Not getting laid is supposed to be one of the worst things for an organism.

You’re rationally right with what you say, but it’s simply not very relevant. Rationality does not help with our most deeply rooted biological desires. The only thing that helps is getting them fulfilled, i.e. having sex.

Actually, we see the world in

This is what the whole video is about though? It’s literally trying to explain this trend and has no other purpose

Of course there’s a best solution… it’s whatever you end up with

Why do you have to reduce it to one? Isn’t it simply all at the same time to varying degrees?

Even with the external mind it’d be irrelevant. As long as we have no way of knowing the future or being able to predict it, having or not having free will is observed in exactly the same way.
