Your description resonates with aspects of maladaptive daydreaming, a condition where someone becomes excessively absorbed in elaborate fantasies or scenarios. As someone who has struggled with it, I can relate. Maybe that's what you had when you were 14. In my case, I would spend hours lost in vivi...

Noteable in the world of "gender" theory is the lauding of feminity, and the persistent effort to debase masculinity. The dominant discourses position men as "oppressors" and inheritors of the illegitimate benefits of "patriarchy," and women as the "victims,"...

Either u are incredibly slow or u have an unusually large unit.

Tate's an alpha male, certainly, but no sigma male. The gentleman is simultaneously besieged by his rampant (healthy) sexual desire for women and his unrequited disgust for them (hence his misogyny) for being attracted to an asshole like him, so his entire presence is constrained by a superficialit...

In art there is no accepted end. All is open for judgement. Open for pleasure. Open for excitement or awe. If we believ...

I know that beauty is in eyes of the beholder. But I was wondering how we realize something as beautiful or ugly. To me, that is the duty of the subconscious mind to provide a sense of beauty or ugly with the subject of our experience. The reality is that there are all just forms that we experience...

I would want to say thank you as well. It's a great one!

I can't agree more. I feel like sometimes they don't understand how much a cover does.

I've always been intrigued by his take on external objects. It's fascinating how our minds try to piece together and make sense of the disjointed perceptions we have. I reckon a lot of what we "know" is built on assumptions and patterns our brain recognizes over time. And Hume's perspectiv...
