@MikeBrave_Maker @teachrobotslove I saw that tweet as well, lol

@RobbinsTom4867 @teachrobotslove I think you need to define "well-raised" here to get an actual answer from someone.

@mattgoldenberg isn't at least that 1st one ai though?
maybe all of them...

@zrkrlc maybe we need to let ourselves be taken to the center of the whirlpool every time.

[Jibran el Bazi 🧭 @AskJibran]

@zrkrlc some things I have (and still am) struggling with as well.

I guess joy (of insight or *being*) wants to naturally be shared, but thinking/believing that you _should_ share it, or subsequently, the fear that arises of not sharing it, cancels the joy. which sabotages sharing.

@nosilverv this showed up in my feed (no sound) and before reading your post, I immediately saw this as a yang video.
People do become more beautiful when you "see" more clearly, but at the same time, yang's videos are kind of a selection bias too.

@TVachaW this post with the vortex was above yours. and, for some reason, looking at the vortex helped with doing the technique you laid out. very neat!

having fun IS the sacredness

@TylerAlterman I become angry when YT randomly shows a short to me. I don't watch any like that at all.
The one exception is when I can't actually find a specific video on something on long-form. Like a how-to video for changing a specific part of my car engine or whatever.

@maybegray some unsolicited advise (so feel free to completely ignore this, especially if you have no problem with feeling like that sometimes), but what helped me (and some other people I know) was doing some inner child work. think grieving lack a of safety/care/consoling and such 💜

@made_in_cosmos Schwindler sounds nice

[Jibran el Bazi 🧭 @AskJibran]

@jonnym1ller all that is to say, I do think a lot can be healed and a baby/kids' nervous system is amazingly adaptive with the right circumstances.

[Jibran el Bazi 🧭 @AskJibran]

@jonnym1ller that is horrible, sadly I know what it's like. my own daughter was in the nicu for the 1st 3 months of her life, & we nearly lost her more than once. she had years of night terrors every single night after that. but we consoled her always. and now she is the happiest kid we know.

@realtimeai @christineist hmm, I have skipped over part of your replies ig. sorry.

[Jibran el Bazi 🧭 @AskJibran]

@realtimeai @christineist as in, a man who wants that undeserved authority sounds childish. not saying that what you think is childish.

(although, also not not saying that 😉)

[Jibran el Bazi 🧭 @AskJibran]

@realtimeai @christineist i think you have a different definition of what male healthy adulthood is than others in the thread, which is fine of course. but I don't think bossing kids around or wanting people to submit to your authority is healthy adult manhood. sounds childish actually.

@cxgonzalez @christineist @RichDecibels implicitly, disregarding the few ways you still have a rite of passage (no idea where), I feel it's when you become responsible for someone else's life. usually fatherhood, but can also be other ways of providing/caring/protecting with the intent that you'd give your life for it.

@jenatlionra @hkloepper @MoonlitMonkey69 had the same feeling, and it actually made me stop reading halfway through your thread. I do like you putting this experiment/research out there though.

[Jibran el Bazi 🧭 @AskJibran]

@made_in_cosmos now our kids sleep pretty late as well (they are 11 and 9), but a few years ago I could get them a little more tired by doing after dinner activities/wrestling/working out with me.
also, our trampoline works wonders. if you haven't got one yet, I super-duper-highly recommend it.
