  • Economists are the least moral people from any field. My economist friend agrees. They see money as a number, not as a resource people need to survive.

    An economist may agree with the statement: “A starving honebee requires more honey to recover than it will produce in its life. Therefore saving it is a waste.”

    What the statement lacks, is context. Why is the bee starving to begin with? They eat nectar from flowers. So there aren’t enough around. Humans are good at mowing their lawns and placing tiles in their gardens instad of anything useful. Another part is, where is their honey? The bee’s life saving they use to survive winter? Who took it? The humans. And who has the audacity to define the life of a single bee by it’s ability to produce honey? The human.

    Now swap worker bee with working class, human with the rich, and honey with money.

    “Oh these people require medical aid? As if their labour is worth the investment in ther health!”

    Remember, any person providing a service to society, is a valuable person. Be it store cleric or garbage man.

    Reminds me of this: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0361684319871913

    In short. The higher the social status of the woman compared to the man, the more likely the man is to sexually objectify her. Wheras women aren’t more likely to do this based on relative status.

    Objectification is defined as reducing a person to solely looks and sexual function.

    Similar stuff is seen in primates. Females are easier targets to assert dominance over. Since they are physically weaker. Male long tail maqacues losing their status, would seek out younger/weaker targets to establish dominance over. Something that was interesting too, is that female maqacues with more masculine facial features, were less often subjected to dominance seeking behaviour (from both males and females if I recall correctly) than females with more feminine faces.

    It seems to boil down to “who can I dominate with little risk?” Female? Easy. Big male? Stupid idea. Young male? No problem. Male of equal size? Potentially.




  • Nah, fuck disney. Won’t forget their “say no gay” policy. Also, a lot of their “woke” coded content is awful. It feels written by inexperienced writers. It’s not genuine and comes across as pandering.

    Like damn bro. Timon and Pumba were gay, social outcasts and raised a child together. That shit felt real. Not the stereotype gay l, but just normal… well “normal” characters.

    The new stuff doesn’t seem to have that. To the point that it feels as though they wanted their work to flop on it.

    Kinda has that vibe Sandy from Spongebob had. At first, she was just a normal whacky character. Then Nickelodeon wanted more girl representation and Sandy became pretty much flawless. She wasn’t the butt of the joke anymore, while the other characters stayed that way. It made her seem less part of the gang. Unequal to the rest. She became unfun.

    So many of the female characters seem flawless and yet unlikable. From star wars series, to the new disney movies. Where is our Katara from Avatar? Where is our Valerie from Danny Phantom? Where are the characters with character?








  • Well that’s the most delusional thing I’ve heard in a while.

    Did you know that women’s brains develop faster? Different sources say different years, but it seems to lie between 1 to 5 years on average depending on what age you look at.

    Estrogens stimulate development of the frontal lobe. Executive functions, risk-assesment and empathy to name a few tasks it does. Which plays a role in why girls with a developmental disorder, are often able to compensate enough (masking) to keep up with their peers, or even be in the top of the class. Boys on the other hand are less lucky, and their grades are affected more clearly by the same disorders. ASD, AD(H)D, dyslexia/dyscalculi to name a few. Interestingly, hyperlexia is almost only seen in girls. While it is a developmental disorder, it often works in their favor in school settings. Estrogens appear to play a role in language development.

    Estrogens also improve memory and learning. It’s why women have a better memory than men on average, and why they are outperforming men academically on average. Yes, women will remember everything you said to them. For good and bad purposes.

    Estrogens also play a role in social development. Which is why girls often prefer playing with toys that have a face on it, and integrate social feedback more often. Part of the reason girls are held to higher standards, which results in girls working harder in school, and suffering more often from performance/achievement related stress.

    If anyone has a child’s brain at 30, it’s you mate.
