"I swear to god I will lose my mind if I hear the “sex sells” fallacy one more time. Sex does not sell. If sex sold, we would see penises where we see boobs. Naked men would be on everything that naked women are on. Sex isn’t what they’re selling you. They’re selling you an impossible, pornographically fueled misogynistic idea of the perfect woman."

A gross correctional ‘perfection’ paradigm that you do not see men culturally held to so that their time is ultimately free to deal with ‘more important things’ like labor/ politics/ philosophy/ whatever- while women are driven to busy themselves (against each other) over the fleeting prize of being the most pleasing sexual eye candy.

Enlightenment

Reason to me, is the defining characteristic of being human. Reason is a tool of the enlightened. Not simply the learned who see what others have done and go their way. The enlightened reasoner constantly learns and will never deal in absolutes or mysticism. The reasoner will not belittle, hate, or commit violence. A reasoner is always able to doubt or disbelieve. A reasoner will concede in an argument when they are compelled by logic and truth. Let reason prevail. Let truth triumph.

"Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity."

Our brains are programmed to perceive things as we normally see. We perceive vibrations as matter. We see it, smell it, taste it & feel it. That’s because we live in the third dimension.
If more people are more aware about this fact, then they’ll have a completely different outlook on life. However, people do get introduced to this. They just call it crazy-talk and reject it.
But we do hear vibrations. People just need to listen and accept it.

What reason means to me.

To me, reason is about what’s true. To me, reason is about what’s real. To me, reason is about what it is to be human. To me, reason is about what it means to love. To me, reason is about what it means not to hate. To me, reason is about what it means to be free. To me, reason is about the whole world, coming together, in solidarity, for the common good. To me, reason is the ony way. AATS
