I don't understand misogyny at all. What's it all about? If you were homosexual and were raised in an ancient Macedonian army or something perhaps you wouldn't see a mother, sisters, daughters, lovers, work colleagues, neighbors, friends but who lives like that? Boys who live in front of a screen and are too anxious and scared to go outside? Racism I can kind of understand if you only have superficial knowledge of other people and cultures.
Once that testosterone kicks in at puberty women aren't generally a physical threat to men. I don't really understand all the fear of them. Some women are really, really cool. Like serious friend material and lifelong partner stuff.
They don't hate women, they just like to dominate.
80% of car accidents here are caused by wreckless driving by guys.
Guys are more dominant, and dominating women is viewed as misogyny.
Do not misunderstand. There's no hatred for women.
Except in niche cases like my mate that got his heart broken at age 15 when he was fat, then he went on and dated 5 girls at the same time because he didn't trust them. Then basically kept 1 of them and is now in a long term relationship. The one girl never knowing that he did that.
He was raised by his grandparents/single mother.
His dad went on to have a 2nd family where he wouldn't be a deadbeat father. So it's kinda idk.. it's his stuff.
So I guess there can be some hatred for women when it comes to having a broken heart and trust issues. But that's mostly for young guys.
Hating people is mostly a dumb thing to do, but it's not always a choice. You get your heart broken, love turns to hate until enough time passes before it can become indifference and you move on.
Racism.. 14 year olds are idiots. They segregate themselves by how they look and sound like and start fighting with eachother.
Russia phobia ๐ well, they done fucked up didn't they?
What else do we have...
Sinophobia.. scary government bruv
Western phobia.. I'll let LMs write that one out
Phobia's a normal thing, gets eliminated by long term communication
Wrong. Wrong wrong wrong.

Please take the time to listen to this lecture. It will genuinely help you and it's very entertaining imo.
Testosterone causes enforcement, not aggression or dominance of women. Enforcement. Sapolsky did a famous study on baboons about this, amd we also have a human example - Buddhist monks who go around "enforcing" peace by chanting and praying etc.
Men hate women because they believe they should, they abuse women because they give themselves permission to do so. No other reason. Anything else is an excuse and justification for it. Read "Why Does He Do That?" By Lundy or "Stop Caretaking the Borderline or Narcissist" to learn more.
Bigotry is a product of narcissism, which is based in delusional beliefs. A narcissist may never get better. A racial narcissist example is a white supremacist ("my race is best"), which is obviously delusional, which causes narcissistic supply every time they confront it and refuse to let the delusion be corrected. They then will act out, eg say racist slurs, to enforce their racial narcissism on others to satisfy their brain chemistry (it's deeply uncomfortable to resist unlearning delusional beliefs when faced with evidence, so they satisfy the histamine with adrenaline rushes included by being antisocial).
Aight I'll put it on for an hour on YouTube vanced

This guy is of far higher quality.
The video you showed me, god damn.. the rambling goes on and on. Do not pay for his lectures, he's just stretching the hour and giving you no content. Just money money money
This guy (even though you might hate him for being Israeli) is brilliant though. World renowned.
He's been one of the leading neuroscientists and primate behaviorists in the world for decades now. Its not rambling, it's information, and your brain is tired of learning. That's just what learning feels like. Don't you know that by now? It'll take you time to learn. And he's not saying anything about money? He's talking about his research literally. How sad, our planet really has fallen so far in terms of academic discourse. Genuinely disappointing.
Nah he's quite bad at holding my attention unlike Yuval noah harari
I love learning, just it has to be interesting
How truly sad
You externalize your difficulty with learning on the speaker.
Perhaps don't speak then about subjects you can't even learn at an introductory 101 level.
I'mma try that. I'mma sell my services and when a customer isn't happy about the quality of my services (the fella is literally being paid to teach a certain amount of time), then I'm just going to gaslight the customer that they are the ones at fault.
I gave you a substitute for a far better speaker.
I prefer to listen to his new book Nexus.
Do give me a break, this isn't my native language. The quality of communication is rather important in order to transfer information into me.
like YouTube free documentary. That's high quality communication.
He's not a better speaker on the topic of neurochemistry, though.
No, you're making up false claims in this language about these things so how about you learn before you say misinfo.
Education is different than communication. Top level academic info isn't always found in easy little clips. Sometimes it takes effort to understand. Fwiw, Sapolsky has been on Joe Rogan and that meatball was able to understand him and what he said about testosterone so it's a you thing here
There's so much information and so little time, on top of that you need to cycle into periods where you consume less information or you'll just go insane.
So, if you want your information to reach people, do more effort.
When you're an adult learning complicated topics, it's expected you don't need to be hand fed information and in fact will take the time to learn difficult subjects. He doesn't need to make a 101 course easier to learn - 18 year olds regularly can handle it. It's sad you keep excusing your own intellectual sloppiness.
It doesn't improve my ability to gain an income so it is of little importance.
The people in his classroom were mainly wasting their time spending money on his courses while gaining little return on investment.
Yeah, again, you're proving my point thar you aren't an intellectual with every word you say.
Depends on the subject and on how much effort I put into it.
What job do you do? You didn't answer
