We love to think that we value truth, but challenging core beliefs, like religion is often perceived as an attack on someones identity. This creates a situation where people tend to accept arguments that fit their existing narrative and reject those that challenge it, not necessarily because they‘re wrong but because they feel threatening. If that‘s the case, then many discussions aren‘t about finding the truth, but about maintaining a stable and comfortable worldview.

Let's be honest for a second. Men are out here -- thinking, breathing, capable of creating and building and asking the big questions about life -- and a huge chunk of us are absolutely fixated on someone's behind. Not in a poetic way. Literally. A body part whose whole job, biologically speaking, is to get rid of waste. Out of everything. That. And the concerning part is nobody really stops to ask why. We just accept it and joke about it because "it's human". Or maybe we're just cowards. Is it solely biological? Is it a distraction from something deeper that we're trying to avoid? Or does it say something more uncomfortable about how we, as men, actually operate? Because if we're being real — we don't know why we're here. We never fully figured that out. And maybe that's exactly the point. Maybe the ass is easier than the answer. So what do you think? Is this just nature? Or a desing flaw?

I have reached a point where I stopped acting as much. the older I grew the more visible this problem became and I wonder from where that problem stems from?, some days I seem to be able to do everything I plan and on some I just procrastinate a lot. I think I need to learn to live more in the present moment as I often live in my head instead of actually just living my life. because for example when I start my day with meditation I stop thinking as much and just act, for me action comes first for results and this always works for some reason. I already planned pretty much everything I want and need to do so what stops me from just doing?, what philosopher can make me more aware of the obvious solution I constantly fail to see here?, and what are some ways I may sabotage myself?. Like by writing this text?. I am open to hear everyone's opinions on this.

It seems a very simple answer: society controls us through social cues, trends, and standards. However, how much control do we have over these unconscious means of control present in society?
