  • I would think the core difference is how testosterone and estrogen affect us differently.

    Testosterone makes people more physically aggressive, meatheads if you will. Estrogen makes people more mentally aggressive, intellectuals if you will. (Note that by aggressive I mean dominant and engaging in form of activeness rather than purely violent.)

    So when puberty kicks in, usually, boys get much more physical and girls less as they are more attuned to the dangers involved. This leads to a somewhat natural separation between the two.

    The meatheads are far more likely to do dumb shit than the intellectuals, but the intellectuals are also far more likely to distance themselves from the meatheads due to that dumb shit. Which is why, in my momentary opinion, the sensible thing to do is to more closely manage the levels of testosterone and estrogen levels where they are more moderately balanced so as there will be no need for either fear or exclusion due to our differences.

    It’s connected to many different things, but mainly it’s drought. They really don’t have water, very close to a country-ending disaster. All other stuff are putting pressure on their ability to gain water from outside sources. And without water, a lot of industries can’t function, hence a spiralling free fall towards collapse.

    Water is the new oil. Time to stock up!

    It’s a bit more complicated than that. Current society is flawed as it requires conformity in individuals to serve it when instead it should serve the individual.

    The base flaw is authority. It requires the individual to act in a specific way that is consistent with its needs and that will suppress other inclinations. Added to that is nature itself, which doesn’t give a shit about anyone and cares not if any needs are met in any way, at all. Which is further compounded by the simple fact that not every divergence plays well with all the others. So conflict will eventually become unavoidable regardless of the development path.

    A complicated part is that not every divergence is good for the individual’s development or survival. So it then becomes a matter of balance in regards to personal freedom in acting as such even though it might be harmful to oneself or others, having the necessary support that allows an individual to make an informed choice on whether to maintain that freedom or suppress it and living with the consequences of the choice and finally, whether to fight against nature’s own form of ruthless culling in order to preserve and develop all the variances that might emerge or allow it to run wild.

    It can get very sketchy once you dive into the gritty details and every aspect of the possible ramifications when trying to find a reasonable approach that takes everyone into account.
