Chaos3612 - Chaotic Dynamics

It’s disturbing how often we go into the biographies of famous and revered men and find: he was a serial cheater; he was a sexual predator; he abused his wife and abandoned his children; or even simply–he never did an ounce of domestic labor, and relied on the servitude of the women around him to support his enlightened endeavors. These are kind of viewed as unfortunate blemishes on the oeuvre of an otherwise great man…“acceptable signs of wear,” so that we will still buy and endorse the product with no remorse. Now I’m all for learning great lessons no matter where they come from, and for learning about any person who has changed history, but we as a culture are right to have started a movement toward using these men’s behaviors to shine a critical light on their work. We should think critically about how these men’s misogyny, interpersonal callousness, and entitlement constitutes a fundamental flaw in their understanding of reality, and therefore a fundamental flaw in their overall thought. And we should keep asserting that women are not cannon fodder for men’s glories, and that we should not have an automatic “acceptable casualty” perspective when it comes to women.

It’s all about statistics today.

I know I used to give more extensive and more detailed explanations of what I was doing/studying but since I’m sitting for three exams in three weeks I’m not spending a lot of time online… I also will be sitting for some final exams in about a month or so, so I’m already preparing them and that only takes a lot of time and effort.

Be careful with your honey, my friends! <3

Anyone else constantly on edge because we are in the final stages of late capitalism and these next couple of decades are gonna be make or break for the western world, and this just happens to coincide with the part of my life where I’m supposed to make something of myself :/

True. But at the same time I've been struggling with this concepts when it comes to friends.

I have the tendency to put a lot of effort into my friendships even when I receive nothing in exchange. I found the line between being a good friend and being taken advantage impossible to see.

Maybe I just have to learn to work for my applause?
