The internet might have accelerated something that was already happening,
youre 5ft 4who is the most masculine on dissensus? I think others have more masculine brains but i am the most virile and socially dominant so my vote goes to me
That just means the virility is more concentrated than if he were a freakish giant like John or Danny.youre 5ft 4
OK I think I sort of know what you might be getting at now, but maybe not...The conflict of masculinity brought on by the internet age is that once the common life has de facto shifted onto the internet, it is harder for the masculine to be noticed and appraised "casually". He finds that he now has to log on to be noticed, which subverts the masculine ideal of being independent of others appraisal. You have to make that confession and I think it put things slightly but painfully askew for the masculine ideal.
I feel this deeply. I probably lose things more often than anyone on this board. I feel I carry a spiritual burden not unlike Job.it always feels like there is a cosmic element to the witholding in these cases. a higher order asserting itself. like im not allowed my cuban cigars for some reason.
I was listening to a Terence mckenna lecture.
He was talking about hunter-gatherer groups, men hunting required values like stealth, silence, strength.
Whereas women doing gathering needed to talk all the time, to share knowledge of eg which plants were good for what.
And these values became coded as masculine vs feminine.
Do you ever find yourself looking for things that are in your pocket at the time, or in extreme cases, actually in your hand? If so, you may be my spiritual brother.I feel this deeply. I probably lose things more often than anyone on this board. I feel I carry a spiritual burden not unlike Job.

I can put something down and be looking for it five seconds later. It's virtually a disability.
