mutual composition

i usually describe this to people as "make your work people-shaped", which is the cognitively ergnomic way of talking about "cognitive ergnomics" (which is, tragically, not cognitively ergonomic)

can’t stop thinking about how we get drained if we haven’t charged up on visual imagery in a while - it’s like our inner nature archetypes, which are reused for many cognitive tasks, degrade over time unless we keep syncing them w the real thing

But the most crucial part of committing is *not needing other people to validate your schtick*. When you release others of the expectation that you need them to approve of you, when you say a little "fuck you, I'm having a good time" NOTHING you do will be cringe

“what is a woman’s erotic capital?” it’s her FEMININE RADIANCE -how good she feels to be around -the warmth of her heart -the depth of her love -her ability to hold you in her gaze & destroy & be tender w you all at once and HOW DEEPLY SHE EMBODIES POWER & SELF-POSSESSION

something I love about the Microsolidarity Network is the regular pulse of people going out into the world to do “group stuff”, then coming back to share lessons we’re learning how to become the kind of person who can transform a group from okay to awesome ...thread time

hot take: the biggest problem many men have, as it relates to their relationships with women, is that they take from women without realising that they’re taking a lagging indicator: you can't see or feel her radiance (and neither can she)

You could find a few definitions for the core of The Shaman archetype, but I would go with “One who tends to the wholeness of a folk."

really appreciate this frame tbh the midwit meme is super powerful for shedding light on overthink-y failure modes, but it's easy to caste the guy in the middle as being inferior, to make him an object of ridicule

there is a depth of love that is available to a woman when she can truly claim “I don't need anything about this moment to be different. I can hold your pain, and I can hold my own. this is important”
