Being a man
is a paradox, is the thing.
Women are also paradoxes, just that society is a little bit more used to hearing that.
The paradox that is a woman is hypergamy and the adherence to the world of men.
Society is less used to hearing about the paradox that is a man, largely in part because there is a certain societal functional need within men that isn't in women that isn't really replaceable without advanced technology, which is why there is such a push for AGI (Advanced General Intelligence), to alleviate some of the labors of the work force that is put on men by outsourcing that labor to complex advanced machinery. It's creepy, yes, but that's its functional purpose.
Of course the Forever Alone Man is going to have his sex robot, but that's really not the point of AGI Development, that's just predatory marketing tactics that prey on the Forever Alone Man so that they can take his money to continue funding the more societal functional purpose of it.
The paradox that is a man, is that we are bred and raised for societal sacrifice and societal providence, that's why we're socially conditioned to labors of responsibility in our childhood.
Which means that we are humans, with feelings, that are not taught how to navigate our feelings, and are instead taught that our feelings are not as important as what we must go and do in life or that our feelings are not as important as what we sacrifice ourselves for.
And I think the reason why it gets swept under the rug a lot, is that a lot of good and honest men die on the job from accidents, or they **** their lives up, go to prison, are outcasted even in prison from other men and become the prison punching bag and literally get beaten to death in their cell.
So that the social model of desensitizing men and training them to be this providential, sacrificial thing, as inhumane as it is, has over time become what's basically normal and totally streamlined to a level of mass production, very similarly in parallel actually to the sexual objectification of women.
If women have sons, that's why they raise their sons the way that they do.
If men have sons, that's why they raise their sons the way that they do.
The only difference really, between being a death row inmate and your regular 9-5, Monday - Friday job, is that death row inmates are treated differently, that's a different stock to the government, which is why the prison Industry is called the Prison INDUSTRY.
A free man is also on death row, because he kind of has nothing to look forward to in life, since life is entirely about what we can do and what we can give up.
On death row, you're eventually executed. In the free world, you eventually expire.
We're not taught compassion and love, it's more of a fantasy that doesn't really exist to us.
THAT's the paradox that is a man:
We're loved
after we've sacrificed ourselves,
after we've been emotionally exhausted into a blank canvas where love has lost its meaning entirely.
This is pretty much how the world we live in was built over the course of the last 2,000 - 6,000 years. During the construction of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, when the men who were slaves could no longer lift the stones to build the building, they were killed, and their bodies were used as mortar inside the walls. The remains have been found as the walls have deteriorated over time. In modernity, when a man goes and serves in the military and goes to war to fight for his country, he comes back to America, and when he is too old and has too many health problems to be of military use, he is forced back into the workforce, as your neighborhood Wal-Mart greeter. Really not all that different if you think about it. Slaves that built the pyramids and slaves from the levant to Mesopotamia were all paid in water and grains, which is how beer was accidentally discovered and became an ancient libation (or holy drink).
If there's any truth to the repetitious cycles of history I think things will eventually smooth out, just perhaps not in my lifetime. Or at least not until I'm too old to care anymore. I don't know, I already kind of don't really care, I guess that's why it's easy for me to see things this way, because I'm emotionally removed from the innate longing for emotional connectivity.
Anyway, historically speaking, monogamy as a social construct came as a delegation. Just as did the eventual collapse of the harem and why royal polygamy all fell out of practice: Too many women mated with too many "high value men," or the sultans, kings, etc. and all of the children in higher numbers conspired to kill each other for power. So to reduce the complication of that, those practices fell out.
And the reason why I think that will make a return, is that even wealthy men, don't like the idea of multiple children, except for Elon Musk, who is of the Quiver Full mentality, which is purely a religious thing, and well simply put: Not everybody has the resources that Musk has, and in conjunction, most Quiver Full families are incredibly dysfunctional, often with absentee parents who eventually become universally-understood problems to their children as they progress into adulthood (like that one crazy dude who has like 40 kids). Plus on a financial level, just because you *can* have a bunch of billion dollar or million dollar kids, doesn't necessarily mean that you should. That's the thing about money and math, division is still division regardless of what color the division symbol is painted or drawn with.
Anyway, enough of my silly rambling in this thread. Time to go silly rambling in another thread.
thats my job sweetie
