    Is Gender Identity a modern social construct?

    Hmm. What kind of men are you talking about? Higher class men/royalty? I believe there is probably an evolved part of the male brain that flips on for men who are high status.I doubt working class and poor men would be considered effeminate. Men are by and large the disposable sex compared to...

    Philosophy of love.

    Empathy makes me nervous. Especially those who practice or are naturally highly empathetic. Let's be honest, when we usually talk about empathy we are talking about contemplating and being engaged in other people's pain. I have my doubts that people who engage in empathy experience 100%...

    Is an Apology Necessary?

    Yeah. Although helping someone without initially being asked for help could arguably violate the OP's rule about doing everything right, lol.

    Is an Apology Necessary?

    Depends on the circumstances. For example was the help asked for? If so, an apology isn't probably needed and shallow at best. If the help wasn't asked for, an apology is probably warranted.

    What are you currently watching?

    Watched the latest Naked Gun film. Not bad for a reboot (although technically more of a sequel) Some jokes fell flat or were too similar to previous Naked Gun films, but it had a decent supply of jokes that hit well. I did find it a tad too dramatic at times, the original Naked Gun films never...

    What are you currently watching?

    The Osbournes. Never really seen this reality show before. Reality TV is pretty fake, but it is fun. Takes me back to the early 2000s. I am a similar age to Kelly and Jack Osbourne.

    Philosophy of love.

    I do think there is an element of narcissism to fantazing about martyrdom, even for those who actually went through with it. One is esstianally comparing or dreaming of becoming a Christ-like figure. Or at least emulating Christ to an extreme degree. While I do hope that for many narcissism is...

    Philosophy of love.

    I do not feel like you are being harsh with me. Really, I am more personally concerned with my own demeanor than the demeanor of Christians towards me. I am the one asking sensitive questions about the possible psychology underlying certain Christian concepts. Facing some hostility on my end is...

    Ozzy Osbourne has died

    I do not take metal sub genres too seriously. Especially within reason. They can be useful when looking to listen to a particular sound or lyrical content. The reason I brought up these sub-genres was to counter the idea that Black Metal is filled with mainly Nazis. Not saying anyone is...

    Ozzy Osbourne has died

    I doubt most black metal musicians are actual Nazis. A lot of that is a subgenre within Black Metal. National Socialist Black Metal. Although Communist Black Metal exists too.

    Ozzy Osbourne has died

    Yeah, sorry about the typo. There are a few examples of it on YouTube.

    Ozzy Osbourne has died

    I love black metal, but yeah the satanic imagery is pretty cringe and cheesy. I just love the sound and vocals. Really, a lot of black metal is just The Beach Boys sound with heavy distortion.

    Ozzy Osbourne has died

    Dang. So soon after his farewell tour too. RIP. Not the biggest fan of 70s metal, but Black Sabbath holds up pretty well.

    Philosophy of love.

    Interesting. I would like to hear more about why you thought your family and Christian upbringing in general (assuming) was empathy-less? Just seems so foreign to me, especially under a Christian environment. Despite growing up in a socially Christian conservative upbringing, empathy was valued...

    Your favorite game console

    Answer pretty much the same, but PS5 Pro this time. Like many other people the PS5 just feels like an improved PS4, lol.

    What are you listening to?

    Been listening to The Holy Post podcast. Pretty intelligent commentary. Started by one of the guys who created Veggietales too. One of the few Christian programs that was legitimately good. While not planning to be a Christian again, I don't say this out of offense. I just see no reason to...

    Philosophy of love.

    Given my past religious experience, I am frankly afraid of not being aware of my own psychology, or what I feel as love. Ever since I lost my faith I have been hyper introspective. It wasn't until recently that I have begun to realize this very process could be a form of love itself. Before...

    A new movie on VHS ?

    I can't imagine how horrible a VHS tape would look on a modern 4K television. The picture quality was poor to begin with. I know there was a short lived HD VHS format or at least it was experimental. Not sure if a 4K format is practical on the platform or not.
