What is poetry? I aim for a widest definition, while valuing brevity. I'll share old and new poetry here than holds something for me, and maybe you too. Enjoy!

"Above all, do not lie to yourself." Fyodor Dostoyevsky

@SophiaCycles The third moral stance may be discernment, and 4th humility. If you try compassion without those, you fall into the Empathy Trap, or Karpman drama triangle.

"What is a woman?" Available free June 1, 2. This shows clearly how there is no limit to transgenderism and that lack of limits will destroy social acceptance of transgenderism or destroy society, whichever comes first.

"Science has taught us that, because we have a talent for deceiving ourselves, subjectivity may not freely reign." - Carl Sagan

@drawnbybon It is a little hard to follow, but I agree from my own memory in elementary school. I see new gender ideology becomes predatory because it forces nonsense question on kids. Identity is poison for all ages, but kids have no defenses for it.

@SophiaCycles Scott Peck talked about this too, both clearly from Jung.

Plot complex plane:
* Biological Sex on x-axis (Male to Female)
* Gender Identity on imaginary y-axis (iMale to iFemale).
* Imaginary axis only real at y=0 (nonbinary). No other compromise.
We must stand for biological reality, or identity-hell for everyone. #TransWomenAreConMen

What is the wisest path to minimize harm?
Telling children we can fix them with technology?
Or lying and promising dysphoria will just clear?
Who is right, and how can anyone know?
I'd bet on deep biology as a best teacher.
While human mind is the greater deceiver.

[Pyritohedral hypergon in blue and gold @Tom_Ruen]

I'm sad the empathetic left can't accept the possibility their science has been hijacked for ideology, that trying to save a few dysphoric lives costs confusion of millions and misery of thousands of victims of this new trans-humanism that says all feelings must be affirmed.

[Béa Gonzalez (sophiacycles) @SophiaCycles]

Jung became aware of the existence of archetypes when he observed that symbols that arise in people’s dreams often correspond exactly to images that have appeared in ancient myths, art & religion, from times and places of which the dreamer could not possibly have known~RA Johnson

@G_S_Bhogal @NickNama80 I do risk an echo chamber. I think "social signalling" is worth noting. If someone signals "MAGA" or even "Patriot" on their profile, I know who they want to talk to. I also block influencers like Elon Musk, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Jordan Peterson, even if often I agree with them

Change your mind for now
...
What you want to see
What you wish for, not now
The world is not ready
And how long can you wait?

Then you have no other choice
Must try to change your mind for now
Leave others to their thoughts
Theirs words, and actions and fate.

@pickover They don't seem to be identical. I turned left one red and dropped on top.

[D. L. White @DL_White_Author]

One of my favourite poems by the incomparable Maggie Smith.

[IsitaPoem? @IsitaPoem]

@ReineM In other words many people
have NO IDEA what the heart is
and confuse it with thoughts and feelings
and incomplete views of what reality is.
If we can't identify the heart,
it can't be guiding star.

[IsitaPoem? @IsitaPoem]

@ReineM Truth often is expressed in tension and in a context. In given expression of love, does the person matter? Familiarity? Does future matter? Or need to give vs receive? And some love can be forbidden, like pedophilia, age of consent, incest or if mood-altering drugs are involved.

[IsitaPoem? @IsitaPoem]

Redemption, based on a quote from @quotes_peterson

[IsitaPoem? @IsitaPoem]

Where We Can Care
For ourselves and for others we can choose
To live with love and understand, we can't lose.

@bendwavy @DestryBrod Wannabe-posh #ChatGPT would beg to differ.

@IonaItalia #ChatGPT agrees with a paragraph of yours I shared and wrote a poem about it

@HilaryJHendel I like the idea, and maybe it can have practical value, even if not strictly scientifically true.

Due to its longevity, the triune brain idea has also been called "one of the most successful and widespread errors in all of science."
