everyone became obsessed about the beating up thing the brave thing that I saw was never that that was just something she needed to do on the path to get there-- that was awesome because she showed how she's willing to do that to go against the hierarchy of her society. I don't care she beat up her own mother I'm not a monkey and I'm not reading it from a human point of view I'm reading it from a monkey point of view and so that's totally fine that she did that. What I'm saying is brave is that she took on how no women of the office how it's so rare and she became the alpha. what I find you funny is like the uniformity of the responses of people here...in response to this admittedly challenging idea I proposed. But the people are not dealing with the challenging idea on its face in fact they're deliberately misinterpreting it to find something which maybe more or less challenging for them but where they can cultivate I believe more outrage. even though you don't have to interpret it in this way people interpret the comment in the way where they can find the most outrageous thing and respond to it as if that's the truth. But it's not the truth it's only their interpretation which they're pretending to be the truth... almost so they can have something to be outraged about. it's quite a ridiculous interpretation but it makes sense from an ape brain point of view like you know you you see a situation where you want to see an exaggerate the conflict so you can rile yourself up and get ready for conflict. I think the greatest irony here is that in this comment thread everyone's saying oh you know humans are so much better than this and how could this guy say these comments--right?--they're actually all behaving in an ape brain way with his deliberate misinterpretation egging themselves on towards conflict. Haha, it's hilarious!
