Saving life lessons that I learned the hard way for my sons to read later. Always asking. Diving into masculinity & social/behavioral psych. Learning as I go.

The paradox of human nature lies in our capacity for both good and evil - both immense kindness and unspeakable cruelty.

Everyone else’s opinion of you is none of your business.

[Inquisitive Theorist @inquisitivetheo]

The most attractive trait you can have is not charisma. It's authenticity.

Authenticity will make you stand out, connect with others, and inspire trust.

Simps lack authenticity.

Fatherhood is not optional. It's essential for the well-being of children, families, and society.

Children need fathers to provide them with protection, guidance, discipline, and role models.

Fathers need children to give them purpose, legacy, responsibility, and joy.

Watched the Super Bowl and thought of how highly-spectated competition is woven into the fabric of our history - ancient Greece Olympics, Roman gladiatorial games, medieval jousting tournaments, Eastern martial arts competitions.

Lesson in there. Survival from safety of sidelines.

If she grew up in chaos, beware, because peace will feel like boredom to her.

Women are attracted to men who are confident and assertive, while men are attracted to women who are sweet and submissive.

[Inquisitive Theorist @inquisitivetheo]

@oldbooksguy Definitely. The childless live in a world of abstractions, but parenthood forces you to take a stand on the tangible.

[Inquisitive Theorist @inquisitivetheo]

@TellYourSonThis Would agree. Like a forge, molding men into warriors, but crushing women into pieces.

[Inquisitive Theorist @inquisitivetheo]

@TellYourSonThis The mantle of power is heavy, but it grows heavier still for those who must shoulder it in a world hostile to their rule.

[Inquisitive Theorist @inquisitivetheo]

Our lives lack the thrill of danger and victory that once defined our ancestors, so now, we replicate these “victories” artificially, as mindless drones leveling up in front of a screen playing video games. Sad.

Ditch the controller. Lift.

[Inquisitive Theorist @inquisitivetheo]

Humanity now stands with heads held high, convinced that our morality has surpassed all that came before us. Ironically, we fail to recognize the shadows of our own shortcomings.

Pride is the enemy of humility and the thief of joy.

[Inquisitive Theorist @inquisitivetheo]

Why is simping wrong if the act itself is kind?

It's wrong because of the unequal nature of the investment. The imbalance of effort and sacrifice creates a negative dynamic.

It is not your responsibility to convince someone to love you. Build your own value.

One tweet is capable of sparking the imagination or dulling the mind. One can make neurons fire, igniting a chain reaction of new ideas. Another can numb the mind & contribute to the barrage of meaningless noise.

Will you craft ideas that challenge, or merely add to the static?

[Inquisitive Theorist @inquisitivetheo]

@TellYourSonThis Yes. The absence of action and experience breeds gossip and idle conversation about others.

[Inquisitive Theorist @inquisitivetheo]

We engage in suboptimal habits without realizing they're not in line with how humanity has thrived for thousands of years.

For example, we've taken cold baths (with demonstrable health benefits) for thousands of years. Hot showers are very new.

Comfort is not always optimal.

[Inquisitive Theorist @inquisitivetheo]

Ignorance and confidence is a dangerous combination. Those with the least competence often display the most self-assurance.

@iamRobONeill @tannerguzy Let's ban the straws, the one item that accounts for 0.03% of plastic waste. But hey, at least we can feel good about ourselves for doing our part by not using a plastic straw.

[Inquisitive Theorist @inquisitivetheo]

@Mrpossidez As if birds are so easily satisfied with a mere crumb of baked goods. The audacity to suggest that 1 scone could possibly satiate the hunger of not just 1, but 2 feathered friends is beyond ridiculous. How dare someone imply that these magnificent creatures are so easily pleased.

[Inquisitive Theorist @inquisitivetheo]

@DefaultUserName @TellYourSonThis The pursuit of truth and knowledge can be disruptive. The comfort-focused provide the necessary counterbalance, offering a sense of security and familiar norms that help to smooth over the rough edges of change. Without this balance, society risks becoming too fragmented.
