Pride. Shame.

How often you feel shame vs how often you feel pride

Fake pride doesn't fix real shame.

Real or fake? I don't care

 I don't care if this is real or fake, it's one hell of a framing of humanity.

Equity flaws

 I used to love that picture

People are not only imperfect but when the methodical lights go out we can get greedy, dark, controlling. In a beautiful world we'd share everything but people will gladly receive but not give back, hoarding wealth, power and status.

Here's the reality about equity, it's usually someone being generous with other people's money or opportunities. When it's their own money and opportunities on the line - NIMBY

Even in this example they haven't paid for the game they're watching. It's easy for the tall dude  to give to the little dude because it costs nothing.

Value doesn't fall out of the sky, people work hard everywhere around the world and have since mankind begin. Start by giving what you have first before telling people to give up what they have.

If you're greedy with little things why should everyone else be generous with big things?

I wish this weren't so, and plenty of people are beautiful and can be trusted. Many also can't.

The AI motives are wrong

 

I think when people use anything "AI" for a greed motive, the results are bad, everyone loses.

When people use anything AI to enhance the process of serving, the results can be spectator.

Change the frame, feel the change.

Won't let you leave with your dignity intact.

It's a pretend choice to stay when there's a heavy cost to leave.

Men harm themselves more than they harm everyone.

Not my work, from https://open.substack.com/pub/putourchildrenfirst/p/the-mental-health-double-standard?r=6g1jv&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

if it is the female exhibiting BPD? It is then characterised as an illness, and she is really a victim of this illness. In fact, it is not uncommon for articles and media reporting to refer to the stigma of BPD.

Indeed, some excuses for female BPD border on the ridiculous. ““The idea that they're actually manipulating is actually quite incorrect if you look at it cognitively speaking," one expert said. "What they're trying to do is get their needs met and also unburden themselves of this emotional distress which gets locked inside them. So if it's a significant other, they'll do anything, they'll try anything, to try and relieve this distress.”” Interpretation: sure they are manipulative, but, you know, for really good reasons!

The actions of men with BPD are rarely similarly excused (SOURCE). When men display exactly the same behaviours, for exactly the same reason - BPD - it's never called, “mental illness”.

No, its name is then “coercive control”.

If you think I’m exaggerating, read THISarticle about Michael Slater, a well-known former Australian cricketer and commentator. His behaviour fits all the manipulative elements of BPD, because he was diagnosed with BPD.

Yes, many men have significant mental health issues. It’s why they commit suicide and harm themselves far more than they harm anyone else. But when a mentally ill man hurts himself, it's ignored. However, when a mentally ill man hurts those close to him, as mental health sufferers invariably do, it's “toxic masculinity”.
