What if we stopped looking at Assassin’s Creed as a story — and started examining it as a study of systems? (For those who new, open the comments for sequence) The Assassins and the Templars are more than two opposing factions. They represent different approaches to power, order, freedom, and… read more

Where I Want to Take This Further

The six questions describe a way of approaching complex problems that has emerged through my observations and ongoing development of a broader methodology. They are not intended to be universal laws, and I do not assume that every component will be equally useful in every situation. What… read more

6. The Scientist — What Would Tell Me the Model Is Working?

The final question concerns the relationship between my model and the results it produces. A structure may appear logical when I design it. That does not establish that it will work in practice. For this reason, I try to identify an observable signal that would help me evaluate the approach… read more

Altruism Beyond Reciprocity: Sex, Time, and the Cultural Mediation of Prosociality

## Abstract This essay examines a thesis that circulates increasingly in both academic and popular discourse: that men exhibit a distinctive form of altruism — unconditional, indifferent to reciprocal benefit, oriented toward the long term and toward future generations — and that contemporary… read more

Define long term relationships

What does everyone even classify long term as nowadays? Is it til they find someone with more money? More time? Is it someone that adapts with them through the years or someone that stays reliable and doesnt change? I've had relationships being told only one for them forever, but as soon as someone… (edited) read more

Boo's website performance

Are there any people here who use the service through the website rather than the app? From my observations, the website previously wasn't known for its speed—loads were quite slow, with noticeable lag. Yesterday, I ran into an error you can see in the screenshot.

Gen X - Societal Norms

Why is Gen X the first generation to underperform its previous generation? Thought / Opinions / Observations

i’m genuinely curious about something. what do people in relationships actually talk about in chats?

i’ve never been in a relationship, and to be honest, i’m neither looking for one nor particularly interested in pursuing one. part of the reason is that i genuinely feel like most of what comes out of my mouth is nonsense. i jump from one random thought to another, talk about things that make sense… read more

DID YOU KNOW? 🪐

There’s a planet where scientists think it may rain molten glass — sideways. The exoplanet HD 189733 b has extreme winds estimated at thousands of kilometers per hour, and observations suggest its atmosphere contains silicate particles. Those particles could condense into glass-like droplets. So… read more

Why an Anti-Narcissist Culture Would Need to be Heavily Reliant on Bottom-Up Processing.

Top-down processing is a cognitive style where a person starts with a belief, assumption, narrative, or framework and then interprets new information through that lens. It filters perception, memory, and judgment through what is already expected or already believed. When people use it for judging… read more

I'm laying here in my bed thinking, "don't put more on anything than what it is." I am a true over thinker. At the same time I'm starting to learn my observations of others and myself, it's okay to let things go. I can't change an outcome, but I can offer an opinion an/or my thoughts & leave it

To Women

If you want a partner who rejects patriarchy, prepare to offer genuine respect, not just demands. A non-patriarchal man doesn't look for submission. Instead, he looks for a safe space to be vulnerable and an equal partner to lean on. After all, true equality in a relationship never grows from… read more

I really doubted how accurate I would find the personality test

It's like looking in a mirror. But like. With those scribble thingies books are made from. I have been hiding from myself for so long, taking no time to consider my feelings and just "head-down, break through" to whatever other side I thought there was. I started Journaling somewhat again and I… read more

THE LIMINAL KINGDOM

"We fit standards to judgments, or break any law that it pleases us to break, and fit to the fracture some other alleged law that we say is higher and nobler. We have conclusions, which are the products of senility or incompetence or credulity, and then argue from them to premises. We forget this… read more

“50% of first marriages fail, 60% of second marriages fail, and 70% of third marriages fail. That’s a learning curve!” This joke is from an album by Mike Birbiglia entitled My Girlfriend’s Boyfriend.

What's your relationship to self-trust?

It recently hit me that I was conditioned to distrust myself pretty much unconditionally. Growing up, anything could become a reason for my family to question my every move or punish me for "making things bad/worse." Could be that they're in a bad mood or I'm in a bad mood or even some external… read more
