I wasn't saying that anything in particular is nerdy. We all have our hobbies

I was more talking about how it is more common for us to be criticized by each other for doing things that are usually good things. OP was asking what is nerdy and I was saying that there is an impression of things that are accepted (good job etc) as being "lame" or whatever. You have to admit though that the "impression" of Blacks is that we are "cool" and that we should be "smooth" and we are quicker to be judged as "nerds" if we do not fit these categories. Look at Steve Urkel vs. Stefan Urkel or Robb Parker calling RG3 a "cornball brother". There are connotations that we are supposed to be "cool" and being educated/ well to do is somewhat shameful to large pockets of Blacks. I don't personally hold any of these feelings since I'm educated etc. but I am more speaking as a general consensus. If you tell me that there is a cross culture of Asians as large as Blacks where being studious and not getting into trouble is something to be ashamed about/ corny, I would definitely disagree

this all boils down to the project mentality and suffocating lifestyle we are given by white people here or, we amalgamate given the harsh conditions.
it wasn't till I was blackballed and out of corporate America did I understand why other guys frowned on trying to show you were educated.
It is because showing you are educated makes you more susceptible to being preyed upon by white people.
past the surface level racism.
into real full blown imma ruin ya life nikka racism.
so, I know where the act dumb thing comes from.
being to smart and knowing to much publically can be a detriment.
if you get into it with white people with more resources than you.
as, they are going to go so hard.
you gon be forced to be the type of nikka you don't wanna be.
on a level of nikkadom, you can not counteract.
so, playing dumb is a defense mechanism gon awry in the black community.
Yet, it exists for a reason.
it is just the powers that be have made playing dumb into the only plausible way for black people to navigate without scrutiny.
shyt is old slavehand and project mentality grafted on to us.
it is also a harsh survival technique,...
that I wish we did not have to employ.
yet, if you are black you are going to have to learn to play dumb.
there is no way around it.

Damn I'd love to know what c00n said that

that is how our females have been swayed against us, breh.
you fight wars after the battle through females.
the white man has learned what to do to us by breeding and applied knowledge and they have gained access to all knowledge about black life.

Goodman game is hard to deflect on.
when you are, a female who is on the take.
That is why good guy game is dead.
you, can not deflect blame when you have no one to blame.
in this day and age,...
females are into men they can take from and deflect.
upon, their bad boy simp ideal to play the victim
When, purposefully, said female is preying on you.

A Fool's Paradise

Again and again, I have been saying that feminism is not the problem. It is a problem but it is a tentacle, not the octopus. MRAs, mostly the older ones, attack feminism because it is so visible and aligns perfectly to political held views (feminism is political while most of the matriarchy is not). There is a lace curtain between the sexes that divide our two worlds. Men and women do not see each other's worlds.

What is Woman's World? It is paradise. If you were on a tropical island, would you not just enjoy life? You would not read philosophy. You would not take life seriously. You would let your brain rot and take in the pleasures of the body. You would sleep with a island native here or there and think nothing of it. You would wear silly costumes, stay out late at night all the time, drink, maybe even wear tatoos.

Women appear so damn dumb to men because they are in paradise. Married women especially so. This is why American Women tend to have two emotions: giddiness or stern contempt. Stern contempt occurs only when something interferes with Paradise such as a rainstorm. Women who are forced to work are unhappy because they feel they are being denied Paradise. Unmarried women or ugly women (is there a difference?) begin to hate men because they believe they are denying them Paradise.

When a sex looks at the lace curtain, it appears as a mirror. They project themselves onto the other sex. Women believe men are also in this paradise. If you are studying on your own, or do not go out every night to "party" or "play", they will be confused and think something is wrong with you.

When men talk about how unhappy they are in their marriages, women become extremely uncomfortable as if ice water is chilling their spine. They thought the opposite! They thought men WERE HAPPY and that they, the woman, were bestowing joy inside the guy! No one wants to see a monster in the mirror so they say there is something wrong with the guys who complain about women.

Feminists are, no doubt, unhappy women. What is feminism but just a way for ugly women to have access to society? When a woman is unhappy, she feels she is being denied Paradise. She already beleives men are in Paradise (along with her female friends). All the frustrations she feels in life (denials of Paradise she will interpret) will be seen as being caused by the MAN. So men become the enemy even though he is actually the creator of her paradise. So feminists go on a cycle of more and more misery. They charged through the lace curtain demanding to enter Men's World for he has their Paradise which SHE feels she is entitled to. She wants the status and wealth that male work has without doing any of the work.

Men who attack feminists all day see them charging into their world and begin attacking them (only because they have become visible in their world). These guys still haven't a clue and are nothing more than reactionists.

I will offer a scale of perception for men and women.

WOMAN

Feminists (Very Stupid)- Believes men are the destroyers of Earthly Paradise and attack men to 'restore' it. Feminists are very stupid because they are attacking the ones who created paradise. Smart women join men in attacking feminists because feminists are a threat to THEIR paradise (of men working for women). Feminists believe if they expel the men, they can create a lesbian relationship which, since it does not involve men, will create paradise.

Slut (Stupid)- Sluts are women who act as if they are in Paradise and that is never going to change. They sleep with whoever, get drunk, and just waste their lives away. They might wisen up or they might become even stupider (and become a feminist).

Career Woman (Dumb)- Career women correlate to sluts and feminists quite well. But career women work because they lack the perception of how to manipulate men. If they did, they would not work. Many Career Women smarten up, find a sucker, and then 'retire' after a baby.

Wife (Norm)- By marrying, a woman now has a servant. She may still work but that will be seen as temporary until he is making enough money (where she will 'retire' for 'love'). Normal women want to get married. Wife also includes mistresses.

Manipulator (Clever)- While all women manipulate, this woman lives for nothing else but to manipulate. She dresses, talks, and basically lives a lie. Whether it be a promotion or something else, she uses manipulation as a science. But she is not really smart, only clever. Her perception is at the level where she knows she can manipulate but she doesn't fully understand how to get men TRULY enslaved.

Traditional (Smart)- Women remain virgins because it allows them to obtain a better husband. Also, it prevents them from becoming single moms which is smart. Religious women are not actually religious but use religion to manipulate the men. How often do you see her reading from the Bible or any serious work? She will do 'volunteer work' to make her FEEL all good but it is nothing more than a feeling.

Housewife (Smartest)- Women have effectively retired to live in a stress free suburban house, surrounded by modern technology (so she rarely has to do chores), and spend the time doing whatever she desires. Many women, such as feminists, attack the housewife but that often results from envy.

MAN

Mangina (very stupid)- This guy will be spewing out feminist lines and propoganda. He has no idea how stupid he is. But, like all stupid people, he feels he is very smart. The smartest people are those that feel they know nothing. Manginas are often gay men and metrosexuals. Political Class men are often Manginas. Manginas are easily manipulated which is why they dominate the Political Class (they make good puppets).

Thug (stupid)- Thugs often end up in prison or something else. Women like thugs because they can be manipulated (and they have no guilt for doing so since thugs are worthless). Remember, even Manginas can get girls (but what does that say?).

Nice Guy (norm)- Contrary to what Mirror of the Soul said, it is important to use the 'Nice Guy', etc. terms because it not an illustraion of an action but a label for a certain level of perception. When someone says, "When I was a Nice Guy..." he is referring to a lower perception level, not in the manner he was acting. Most guys are Nice Guys. They believe in Love and will work furiously hard to 'earn' a woman's love. Nice Guys are frustrated because they do not understand women (and admit this). They see women go for thugs or jerks and think, "What in the world!" The purpose of Thugs and Players to women is to be Instant Dildos. The purpose of Nice Guys is to be Instant Husband. Like Instant Rice, Nice Guy is an Instant Husband that a woman can fall back on (HOPEFULLY).

Player (clever)- Just like every level in this perception list, the player believes he is the smartest of all his peers. He is not. He is only clever. There is actually very little difference between the Nice Guy and Player. The Nice Guy is addicted to sex and female praise like water in a desert. Nice Guy resorts to 'niceness' as a type of withdrawl symptom. But players are addicted to sex and female praise and seek it out in the highest dosage possible. The difference between the Nice Guy and Player is the difference between the poor crack addict and the rich crack addict.

Jerk (smart)- Jerks are quite smart. Their perception is above the usual female addiction typical of lower perceptions. They are called jerks by women because the jerk cannot be manipulated. Players actually create their 'strategies' by studying jerks. Do not confuse a thug with a jerk however. While thugs don't care about female addiction, they don't care about anything else either. Jerks are often successful in the world of business.

Loser (smartest)- The Loser is someone who disregards "The Way". The difference between a Loser and Jerk is that the Jerk is a guy who cannot be manipulated. But a loser is someone who abandons "The Way" altogether. Bill Gates is a loser for he quit Harvard. Steve Jobs was a loser too as he failed college. Michael Dell is a loser as he quit school. It takes enormous strength to not just stop being manipulated but go AGAINST the current, against "The Way" that flows and propels all the Nice Guys to their fish cages. If the Loser keeps pushing upstream, eventually he slips out to the open ocean to true freedom (I know upstream doesn't lead to the ocean but I like this metaphor so shhh!). Losers are named so by women. If a guy wants to live with a foreign woman, he is called a loser. If a guy wants to not work himself to death and achieve financial freedom, he is called a loser. Losers are smart because they have mastered their emotions, their finances, and their bodies to keep all of them in good shape.

Following YOUR dreams = Loser

Following HER dreams = Winner

If this is the case, I would choose loser every time.

Origin of the 'Nerd'

Nerd probably came from a term at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute from the origin of Knurd (which is drunk spelled backwards). Unlike the drunk, the 'knurd' drinks heavily of knowledge and does practically everything opposite of the 'drunk'.

But have you noticed how some things are considered 'nerd' while other things are not? And, even more strange, these things change over time.

If something is 'nerdish', then that means most businesses cannot profit from that activity.

Take books. Books are considered 'nerdish'. However, television is full of advertising. So it makes sense that marketing would portray television as "mainstream" and books as "nerd". They want television to appear 'cool' so they can make money.

Take staying at home for the evening. This is considered 'nerdish'. However, if you go to a fancy club, restaurant, or something else, this is marketed as 'mainstream' and 'cool'. No one makes money if you stay at home for the evening so no wonder they will belittle it.

Take music. Classical music is 'nerdish'. However, pop-culture music is marketed as 'mainstream' and 'cool'. The reason is because they make money off the 'hip-hop'. How can they make money off of Beethoven and Bach?

Take clothes. Keeping care of your clothes and having them last a while is 'nerdish'. However, 'sticking with the fashions' is marketed as mainstream and cool. The reason is because they make money when you keep changing fashions. They make no money if you stick with your clothes.

I think you are seeing the point. Now, let us look at how some of the 'nerd' things change.

Take the Internet. The Internet was a haven for nerds. But as soon as companies could make money off the Internet, then the Internet became 'awesome' and 'mainstream'. Companies who have the Internet as a threat such as newspapers, and certain colleges still try to paint the image that the Internet is for "unsocial nerdish quacking misfits".

Take video games. In the eighties, video games were seen for 'nerds'. However, as soon as gigantic companies such as Sony and Microsoft moved in, they have produced marketing that says, "Hey, gaming is now mainstream! Gaming is hip and cool!" Most video game players have bought this hook, line, and sinker. If you account for population growth and multiple console ownership, gaming has not really grown. In fact, it has even decreased in some areas. (A steady decline over ten years in Japan reversed with the DS phenomenon currently over there. In America, the trend has been downward for a couple of years.) As soon as the major companies moved in, they put out the marketing that it is 'mainstream' and 'cool' because they want your money. It is that simple.

Another video-game example would be the recent invention of the word "hardcore gamer". This used to be the 'nerd'. But they call them 'hardcore gamers' because they can now make money off of you. This is similiar to Hollywood calling those who watch movies all day to be 'greatly cultured' where you could easily call them dorks. (Hollywood won't say that because they make money off them, obviously.)

So any time you see the 'nerd' versus 'cool' mantra, follow the money. Anything in society that people cannot make much money off of is going to be condemned as 'nerdish'. Just be who you are, follow your own interests, and ignore this advertising imagery that drapes society.

Brehs I wanna cute, nerdy black woman who can watch Star Wars with me after we smash.

 

[Quinn]

Truth is, being a "nerd" is the wave now. So there's gonna be a lot of folk who wanna claim to be a "nerd" but never gonna have to go through the pain involved.

I say pain because being a "nerd", in the way most folks used to understand it, used to come along with ridicule, bullying and even violence.

These days, folk wanna say they're a "nerd" because it's the cool thing to say. Folk just wanna be different so they'll damn near say/do anything for attention.

It's the same shyt with all these women who been chasing hustlers and athletes for 20 years and all of a sudden they "sapiosexuals" now Yeah right. Don't spit that bullshyt now cuz you finally wised up. Kick rocks.

 

[⠝⠕⠏⠑]

I hate pretentious people that label themselves nerds as if it's a badge of honor. Nerd simply equals having interests ur devoted to. History buff, sci-if nerd, otaku, gamer, whatever.

Being a nerd gets a negative connotation when u devote so much time to ur interest that you forsake cultivating real life necessary social skills. In many cases these hobbies initially were a way to escape from stressful social interaction anyway.

So a lot of so-called nerds develop a massive chip on their shoulder. They elevate their standards in a mate to massive proportions so that they can claim that they are alone b/c their standards are too high. They develop a deep set hatred towards the opposite sex of their own race not necessarily due to rejection ( b/c they don't approach people) but due to their unrealistic expectations that Beyoncé or Idris Elba is going to brush the orange stains off that faded WoW shirt, or lift up that roll of fat to get to that doofy ass heart of dubious gold on the inside. Nerds are all about expecting the world to see that even though they look like a 3 and act like a 2, they deserve a 10.

The most peculiar aspect of nerdism is the fact that they rarely go for their own counterparts in their own race. Lol! You put a male and a female nerd in a room together and they'll SWEAR that they've never met anyone like themselves so they HAD to go date out, right? They utilize racist ideas and stereotypes about the opposite sex of their own race to ultimate justify why they were never romantically successful. Dating out isn't necessarily about c00ning even tho they adopt c00n ideas to justify it. It's about trying to re-invent themselves to people of different races so as to find a mate and prove to those evil people in grade school that they are worthy. The hoops I've seen these people jump through to get with someone of another race is "damn Gina!"

When it doesn't work even with non-blk "perfection" (see IR divorce rates) some finally do some introspection. Others just come online and try to live like Gods. But even then that awkwardness, that lack social aptitude, that inability to connect shines through and u know Exxxxxactly what type of person ur dealing wit.

Shyt is fascinating.

 

[Blackout]

I've heard the reverse from some ladies on the coli and they were cursed out 5 ways to Sunday by trashy dudes on this site.......

I wonder how many trashy dudes will curse you out.... I'll wait...

Which ladies?

 

[Blackout]

Most guys on here overuse the word nerd anyway. Liking anime doesn't make you a nerd.

Honestly, most black men I enounter that don't fit the "thug" look, I wouldnt consider a nerd, I consider them regular black men which, to a lot of the coli males dismay, most of you would probably fit that.

I don't know why yall want to be nerds so damn badly

It's like to some of you if a black mans not a thug then he's nerd. I don't even hear black women talk like this.

What you are talking about is the nerd fad.

Real nerds are those who got teased for it and had trouble getting a gf and making friends because of it.

Fad nerds are normal people who want to stand out so they pick up some glasses and call themselves nerds.

 

[NoSingleMothersB]

There is no black community. Tired of hearing that.

The Adventurer and the Vortex

One day, the magnificent Pook decided to share his manliness (for it would be selfish to contain so much manliness!) with the world. The people rejoiced in this and children ran to greet the Pook when he appeared.

However, Pook encountered a band of disgruntled people huddled in a circle. They hissed their frustrations of life to one another and that was their ritual. Then, they would all disperse to their jobs and lives which they despised. Next day, they would gather, share in their complaints about the world, and then leave again to do it the next day. Seeing the cycle, Pook approached the group.

"What do you want!?" seethed a young man in his twenties who was beginning to look like he was entering his forties. "Why do you disrupt us?" came an old woman's screech from a woman just turning twenty five.

"Tortured souls," the Pookius Maximus said, "Every day, you gather and complain. Yet, then you go back to what you complain about."

Then came the protests.

"X isn't fair!"
"Y is corrupt and has been turned conspiracy against us!"
"Z will eventually collapse due to this injustice!"

Such are the common replies! And how frequent they come! Now, reader, you may inquire about the beings of this group. Rest assured, the beings are both liberal and conservative, pious and hedonistic, rich and poor, men and women, as well as your ancestors and your descendants. They are the 95% of the people. They are the masses.

"Let me be mirror to your thoughts," said the Pook. "I want you to see your mind reflected as it really is. Permit me to ask some questions."

"Very well," allowed one member. "Ask and you shall have your answers."

"Do you believe that you have suffered unfairness?"

For the first time, animation electrified their answers of "Yes!". Each and every one of them believed their fate was unfair.

As Pook kept talking to them, a pattern emerged. Each and every one believed in a spiritual law of fairness. Bitterness swelled in them as they recited how "unfair" this or that was. All of them dreamed of the collapse of the "system" where their spiritual law of fairness would "return" the natural order of things.

Adults believe in Fairness like children believe in Santa Clause. Santa Clause is very much a figment of that Fairness. He knows who has been naughty or nice, bestows gifts on the good and coal on the bad. But just as there is no Santa Clause, there is no Fairness Spiritual Law either.

Life never runs smooth. It is a bumpy ride with set-backs as well as uphill struggles and downhill surges. If a person complained that a ride was not "fair" he would be considered mad. The purpose of the ride is the fun of taking different roads, seeing new scenery, and meeting the new people that come in your life. This is the Adventurer which every Human begins as (what we label the 'innocence' of a child) but can easily become corrupted into something else.

What is the opposite of the Adventurer? It is the Vortex. A Vortex is someone who is miserable in life and who complains as a swirl of angst. The nature of the complaint does not matter. It could be about the job, the women, the men, the world, SOMETHING. What happens when you combine many vortexes together? They create a giant Vortex that creates such a sucking sound that, standing near it, you literally begin to think the world is an Evil Place.

The Feminist is a Vortex. She thinks life has been unfair to HER and becomes a swirling cyclone of angst. Combine her with other swirling cyclones of angst and you have a giant vortex that begins to suck in normal women nearby. Men are not attracted to the Feminist Vortex (unless they have somehow been 'sucked in' so to say) because no one likes negativity and parasitism in their life.

The Nice Guy is also a Vortex. There are many definitions for 'Nice Guy', some be it the guy who is naive, the guy who believes in 'love', the guy with old morals, or simply a guy who is very polite. But the true definition of 'Nice Guy' is that like with all Vortexes, he believes in a Spiritual Law of Fairness. Beautiful women are not going for him. They are going for the "jerks"! What injustice! As the normal guy becomes a Nice Guy Vortex, he may become 'buddies' with similar thinking guys but women avoid him more. And the more women avoid him, the more the Vortex intensifies causing women to avoid him even more. "It's not fair!" whines Nice Guy.

Vortexes are everywhere. It is your job, as the Adventurer, to avoid them. Obstacles in your path are what makes the Adventure fun. The only REAL obstacle is the Vortex who, like Sirens, will suck you towards to the rocks where the masses of shattered lives lay on the beach.

How do you know if you are in a vortex? Here are some signs:

1) Are your conversations about NEGATIVE things that are occurring that is out of your control?

2) Do the people participate in hopes of vomiting their frustration?

3) Is the theme of the conversations revolving around the concept of UNFAIRNESS of some form?

4) When the people talk, do they smile? If not, they are more likely in a Vortex.

The Vortex eats up your valuable energy. Instead of using that energy to ADVENTURE, to discover new and wonderful things, you go in circles in the Vortex. Time passes. And one day, you will simply... stop. Since Fairness will never come, for that would mean Heaven on Earth, the only way out of the Vortex is to die.

Most people in their lives swirl around their vortexes, like the toilets, all their lives.

There are so many Vortexes it would be ridiculous to mention them all. But the most common are political. When we get frustrated in life (which is inevitable), many lose their senses and become drawn to a political 'cause'. When our talents and passions are frustrated, we tend to turn to new 'causes'. This is why children of wealthy people get caught up in political 'causes'. Same with actors and many of the population. Hitler was a frustrated artist first, dictator second.

In many ways, the Feminist and the Nice Guy are far more alike then different. When career women go off to dinner together, they are complaining about men (i.e. super vortex). Nice Guys can be the same. Other groups you are thinking in your head right now apply as well. Consider these Vortexes to be the Cult of the Fair. All their doubt and anger leads to PRE-MATURE AGING.

"But Pook," cried a woman. "If what you say is true, if that is the Cult of Fairness, then what is the alternative? Who follows the Adventurer?"

"My lady," I replied, "the opposite would be the Cult of the Fantastic. There is no spiritual belief of Fairness in this one. By adopting the mindset of what they WILL do, they live completely and enjoy the bumpy ride. The Fairness Cultists huddle from their rat holes to point, be envious, and hurl moralizations. They condemn the Adventurer for violating the Law of Fairness where they are really condemning themselves."

I then turned to the crowd and said, "You are all done with the Vortex. You will now stop thinking of what you are NOT achieving and, instead, think of what you ARE achieving. This puts you in a mindset looking for opportunities and challenges rather than barriers and obstructions. This simple change of your mindset will remove the detractors and doubters from your life and attract the movers-and-shakers."

And with that, the crowd dispersed for the last time. One person swore that he would find a new job within the next two months. Another swore he would buy that house in six months. Yet, another decided to devote his free time back to his passions and dreams. The Vortex imploded and, they all became adventurers again.

Information Age is about context, not content


What happens when you are flooded with information? Information ceases to have the value it once did. Why pay for a newspaper when you can look it online for free? Why waste valuable time sitting through TV commercials for mediocre coverage when you can find better information online?

Some people think my passion in life is writing. It isn't. It is actually about contexts. I enjoy juggling various contexts around and discarding ones that lack the data to back them up. For example, Nice Guy is entirely a context. It is a view of the way to look at the world. A Don Juan has a completely different context than a Nice Guy. A business owner also has a completely different context than an employee. It is not so much that a context is 'wrong' or 'right', but they lead to entirely different places. A Nice Guy context leads to a different place than a Don Jaun context. Like a bucket of chips, I choose and discard different contexts. Some contexts you'll never be fully sure about but others you can track down the facts (or lack of facts) and discard it. The mental boundary in people's minds today is not information (which is easily available and infinite) but context.

There is a difference between the egghead and the wise man. The egghead knows much information about nonsense (in other words, a poor context). The wise man knows much nonsense about information (in other words, a rich context). The egghead is rich with information, the wise man is rich with contexts.

In a constantly changing world, you must allow the possibility of new contexts or you will be left behind. As example to this, consider people who cling to the old way of saving money to get rich. Yes, you might get rich if you save money but only within sixty years or so. These people will be outpaced by those who adopted a new context, of putting themselves into massive debt on assets, to get ahead. I believe Nice Guys are in a context of a previous era.

The anxiety of man is living today with yesterday's contexts. We are no longer in the Industrial Revolution. You do not pass Go and expect to get pensions from companies like your grandparents did. Health care from businesses is no longer assured. A happy and long lasting marriage is not probable. One of the benefits of altering your contexts is that you will lose that anxiety you used to have. You will no longer fear women because you now have an entirely different context. When a feminist starts saying, "Shame on you! You are a man! This means you only have responsibilities and do not deserve any pleasures," you have the ability to laugh at her.

I cannot respect someone who cannot challenge their contexts. You do not have to agree with mine or anyone else's contexts, but a context cannot be written in stone no matter how much you agree with it. Facts are written in stone, not theories (and the contexts those theories create). Some people tell me, "It is the theory that is fundamental!" I say, "No, it is the facts that are fundamental. We must change our theories based on the data." To them, they would rather discredit or not look at competing data.

So why would someone be unable to challenge their contexts? Feminism is a stubborn context that does not respond well to being challenged. Why is that?

1) People adopt the context that fits their narcissism.

Women will adopt the context of feminism because it fits their narcissism. A poor person will adopt the context that rich people are screwing out the common man because it also fits his narcissism (and vice versa for the rich man and poor man). People who play video games will think it is the apex of civilization while those who do not play video games will think it is a waste of time. Those who have many degrees will have the context that degrees make them smart. Those who flunked out of college will likewise call college a 'waste of time'.

My favorite example of this is people driving their cars. When a car goes faster than them, that driver is a "maniac". When a car goes slower than them, that driver is an "idiot". It is all relative based on that person's driving speed! So young people, who tend to drive faster than most, think most people on the road are idiots. While old people, who tend to drive slower than most, think most people on the road are maniacs ("those damn crazy kids!").

2) People stick with contexts that fit to their other contexts

Hence, those who hate religion will tend to subscribe to the context that religion is a source of civilizational decline in the world (or the reverse). Those who hate Western Civilization will only see the West spawning evil. Those who have the context that the world is going to doom and gloom will only see the downside of every issue. Their bigger context affects their smaller contexts.

Much of the bias in the media is due to this. They have a pre-existing template and so every story, even the selection of stories to cover, gets their contexts pre-painted due to the original Mother Context.

3) People become stubborn with contexts if they have never been challenged

As Thomas Paine used to say, "Time makes more converts than reason." What I call "The Way" is exactly this flaw. "The Way" becomes so since no one allows for any other possibilities, for any other options. By removing the entire outside, the remaining context becomes "The Way". This is how tyrannical societies tend to work by removing the outside as much as possible.

This is why many older men suggest to younger ones to meet foreign women in other countries. They are not saying to marry foreign women. They are saying that, by removing all foreign women, your typical American woman (or British woman, Canadian, etc.) becomes the de facto standard of all women. By meeting these various foreign women, you have a better idea of how women in your home country compare (or don't).

If you have a context and had no one challenge you on it, what happens? Well, you never had to explain your context to other people, to publicly defend it, to give reasons for it. All you know is that those who challenge your context (which is the only one you know so to you it is "The Way") must be dearranged, misfits, or losers of society. These people find the challengers not as challengers but as "outside the norm" and must be de-legitimized because, in their minds, you already have unlegitimate viewpoint. This is why Feminism, which has never been challenged, must destroy her critics instead of debate them in the arena of ideas.

Feminism is such a stubborn context because it holds all three of the above 'barriers'. Feminism has not been challenged, it feeds people's narcissism, and it fits other contexts higher up. When someone views all of society as an artificial creation, then one can easily believe in feminist laws to "progress" society. The pride of the person and the age of the context as well as the influence of other contexts prevents people from opening their minds.

To those from Sosuave, you know that your life changed when you changed your context away from the Nice Guy mindset. Just ask yourself, "If my life has so changed by altering that context, what other contexts could there be out there?" And with that, you embark on a series of life changing discoveries that will improve and enrich your lives more than those narcissists and arrogant elitists could imagine.
