I thought the whole point of identifying your attachment style is to work towards becoming secure - not declaring it and expecting everyone around you to endlessly accommodate

It seems a common experience in the lives of people with high agency is that they, at some point, metaphorically, lean against a wall and discover that there is a hidden door. That some constraint they’ve been told about turns out not to hold, and this allows them to experience something positive. And from this they get into the habit of testing if walls are actually doors, and the more they do so, the more examples of hidden doors they find, and the more inclined they are to look for them. Far from the only thing that sets them apart, but having that experience can be transformative

Oh to be a bison shoving random tourists in the air for no reason 🥹

[Breaking911 @Breaking911]

A tourist was seriously injured after a bison tossed them about 8 feet into the air in Yellowstone National Park. The attack was captured on video by photographer Mike Macleod.

If winning was guaranteed &certain, you'd go 10x harder at it.

Paradoxically, if you went 10x harder, the win would almost be a guarantee, on a long enough time horizon, for any goal.

It's easy to mentally recognize this, but it ideally should be felt in the body as a fact.

@thehoumunculus @ukrsiberian He doesnt believe in an „ideal“ human form tho. Hes advocating for looking your best, whatever that may look like for yourself, and not looking your best according to what he thinks that looks like.

Democracy only spread because it was the best system for producing compliant trading partners.
A democracy has elections. Elections require parties. Parties require financing. Financing requires capital. Capital has interests. So by design, every democracy in the world has a built-in mechanism that ensures the people with money have disproportionate access to the people with power.

You don’t need to bribe a dictator and hope he stays in power. In a democracy, you just fund both candidates and own the outcome regardless.
This is why US spent the Cold War toppling democracies that elected the wrong people Mossadegh in Iran, Allende in Chile, Lumumba in Congo and replacing them with dictators who were more “stable.” Stable meaning: predictable to capital.

The genius of it is the aesthetics. Democracy looks like self-determination. It has flags and anthems and moving inauguration speeches. People will die for it. But the operating system underneath is remarkably friendly to concentrated wealth arguably more so than overt authoritarianism, which at least makes the power visible.

The most honest political scientists will tell you: what actually spread after 1989 was markets. Democracy was the packaging.
And the packaging worked so well that the people inside it genuinely believe they’re free which is the final, most elegant feature of the system.
A cage you can’t see is the strongest cage ever built.

The past is an explanation of who you are today, but it is not an excuse to continue being who you don‘t want to be
