viewBoys often make fun of girls for what they call “suicidal empathy”, where girls display an exaggerated amount of love and compassion toward strangers without any regard to reality. And because boys themselves don't often display that kind of behavior, they boil it down to a gender thing.
But actually boys have their own version of reaction formation. It's just that “nurturing” was never the selling point of a “real man”. It's being rational, having integrity, not holding grudges or being petty.
Of course, they only learn the LOOK of it. Because those traits don't make sense without the context of reality either. And it is just as ridiculous for the casual observers as the girls with suicidal empathy.
viewIt's funny because people still think a 53-year-old needs to be coddled.
Musk's principles are about as real as Glenn's principles. In fact they both admire each other. Glenn often does “investigations” on corruption and condemning people who lack integrity. Which Musk is a big fan of.
But if you remember how people hated you the most acted super sweet, especially to you (though this is more common among girls than among boys). It's because they can't tolerate that they hate someone and that would make them a bad person. It's called reaction formation, where you act in the opposite direction with exaggeration.
Now apply that to the men above. Because once a person enters the workforce, the selfishness and greed are in front of everyone's eyes. It's no surprise. You can be a part of it, outside of it, or take different turns regularly. It doesn't matter.
But maybe the ones who are rushing the quickest to the crime scene of greed and corruption to condemn those who do it, while acting surprised and distraught, are the most sinful themselves.
viewThe rain ruined my today's walk. But that egg was really the energy I saved for the walk. I feel wasting the egg for nothing.
viewWell the nap and the dinner are highlights of my day most of the days.
viewI just ate an 8-min steam boiled egg as a snack and I’m still hungry. Still few more hours to the dinner.
viewOnly few more hours to the nap.
viewPeople keep acting like Musk doesn't know politics better, or even worse that he is suffering with telling the truths, and it's annoying. He was the one I used as an example when I wrote about “high IQ humanistic dudes” around September last year.
As I said, there is no such thing as a naive middle-aged or 2/3-aged man. There are, however, old men who are also splitters, who deny their own vice and that makes them LOOK LIKE they are naive.
viewYesterday I was shopping at MrDIY in the Gold Coast mall. There were so many fun things there for home projects. I ended up buying a bunch of screwdrivers because they were so cheap as one pack. I fixed one loose screw and now I don't know what to do with them anymore. I hope something gets loose again.
viewI’ve been looking forward to nap time this whole morning.
