everything thats important and the entire plot of planet earth has to do with 3 things and 3 things only
1. ancient noble bloodlines with rare apex abilities
2. space meteors infused in the earth that alter consciousness
3. magical puzzle box
anything not related to these 3 things is side quest material in terms of the global storyline
one thing i've recently learned is that women don't stop competing with other women once they get married and have children, they just start competing for something else
intrasexual competition never ends and instead of trying to secure the best man for themselves, they're now trying to secure the best possible future for their children, which means competing with other mothers for resources, attention, opportunities, etc.
and i wonder how much of the constant complaining about marriage and motherhood is actually part of this
even when happily married, loving their children and with a good life, every time they talk to other women they make sure to tell them how exhausting motherhood is, how useless their husband is, how much they miss their freedom or how having kids ruined their body
the reason is that they are competing for attention for themselves and that the fewer women who decide to have children, the fewer children theirs will have to compete with
they don't even consciously realize what they're doing
we've spent hundreds of thousands of years competing for resources to keep our offspring alive and all those instincts didn't magically disappear the moment a woman becomes a mother
obviously some women are genuinely miserable. but MANY of them are making their lives sound worse than they actually are (especially on social media) to make other women more miserable
and what's fucking terrifying is that until very recently this sort of behaviour could only influence the handful of women around them. now a single mother complaining about how much she regrets having children can reach millions of young women who haven't even started their families yet
i wonder how much this has contributed to making an entire generation terrified of marriage and motherhood
and how much damage it's doing

BREAKING 🚨: There’s now a 50-foot bronze statue of Prometheus standing outside SpaceX's Starbase in Texas
In Greek lore he stole fire from the gods and gave it to humans
The statue holds a torch toward the same sky Starship launches into 🔥

@Jason_Jorjani In a zero sum game isn’t it in the best interest of said civilization to have people who not only comprehend but agree and subscribe to the idea itself. A strength in numbers perspective and assuring the asexual reproduction of the ideology itself.
So why not make it public?
@Jason_Jorjani Why does a breakaway civilization have to be kept hidden and not be out and open in the public? The rationale to reach such epistemic and ontological conclusions about the nature and fabric of reality seem like somewhat of a passport of entry.

@Jason_Jorjani The lineage of “great” inventors that the 20th and 21st century had to offer were under the framework of mechanistic thought. They built machines.
The great inventors to come I imagine will Craft man to heights we have been psychologically primed to interpret as possible.
