Nowadays, everybody is offended about everything. And I am very offended by Gillette! But I feel a lot of people have a faux offence, feeling they should be offended by something because it crosses some pre-defined moral barrier that a militant activist erected. This is all part of the erosion...

I do not agree that feminism is about equalisation of power. And besides, what is equal for one is not equal for another. e.g. no pay gap but men pay for everything, "because I do like a man to be a gentleman." They are trying to have it both ways. Do you believe that women want equal rights...

Power-grab is trying to take more control over something or someone. So, by using terms such as "toxic masculinity", you are trying to manipulate men's behaviour into some ideological framework that suits the activists. Earlier, I was reading an article on the Gillette scandal and it talked...

In the Oxford Union speech, a student asked what Russian influence has he had. Good job the Russian Muller probe didn't get wind of it! He has read quite a bit of Russian stuff I believe.

Attacking men, stereotyping, slurring them all as abusers, attacking masculinity, and emasculating men's own evolved nature. Imagine an advert that blatantly abused women in a similar manner. You can see it now, a Gillette advert for women asking them to stop making false sexual assault...

Sam Harris talks slowly so that probably helps!

Just signed up for LoseIt! Cost me £23 because I think it was only annual subscription. Anyhow, it tracks more than I thought. It can help me track: - weight - body fat % - blood pressure - foods and calorie intake - steps - sleep - hydration - body measurements e.g. waist, biceps etc. Bloody...

Good find Bee. I came across that in my Discord Supermemo group I run. I think the idea was that your brain has to expend more effort with understanding what the text says, and this is correlated with better retention. It is like the brain uses more horsepower in the interpretation and so this...

Ok, so last night and this morning I made more progress! I didn't take my phone into my bedroom, had a digital sunset at 10:50pm and was in bed by 11pm!! And...this morning I was up at 7:45am. Blimey! :eek: Had my super-food shake then off to the gym for a swim. Then sauna. Shower. Now at coffee...

Blimey Uncle, you are getting your YouTube in then! Sam Harris always comes across as very reasoned, calm and contemplative, to me at least.

You watched some of it then? Like Jordan, Sam is super-smart too. Here is part 2 I think: There might be 3 & 4 as well!

You're welcome Uncle. Have you heard of Sam Harris before? Or was the thank you for his personality lectures?

For my lunch, I am choosing mostly between three choices: two egg + cheese omelette; egg, capers and salsa baked in the oven; or tom yum mushroom Thai soup. Each is about 300 calories. I like the taste of all three of them so it works well. Further, I have just remembered about the Lose it! app...

I use that too. Plus something on my phone. The "digital sunset" is a term I came across last week from Brian Johnson. So, I will try to restrict any TV, computer and phone stuff after 10:45pm.

Jordan Peterson and Sam Harris having a chit chat!

While Sam Harris has become very well known, you still may not have heard of him. He is the author of several books, a regular speaker and debater, and has a popular podcast. He is into meditation, rational thought, debating from the atheists perspective, a believer in free speech, and has...

When did you stop Doc? This is a good start to the week. Since I kept things relatively in control at the weekend, I didn't reverse my weight loss. Weight now down to 13st 13.6lbs On Sunday, I did a weekly review. This is what I wrote in my journal: First week results Ok, so I started on...

Hey all, I'm hoping to solve all my grammar issues with a Chrome extension called Grammarly. As I typed this sentence, it already picked up that I typed grammer, rather than grammar! :p But I'm hoping most of the issues will be with grammar itself, rather than spelling, which mostly gets picked...

Humans are prone to violence. I read that before they considered culture to be a big influence. But then they studied chimpanzees and found they patrolled their borders and ripped apart any other chimps in the vicinity. We are tribal by nature, not nurture. Perhaps.

I make that 100%. Well done!
