Me:: Did you see the news yesterday? I couldn’t believe it.

Her:: Those people are just idiots, I would never act that way. I’m much to mature for that, I think that they shouldn’t act like that. I mean that’s just ridiculous.

Me:: Well my sister is just finishing up her accounting education.

Her:: Yes I was thinking of going into that myself, but I was wondering, how could I get into Pre-med, I mean, I need to be able to support a certain lifestyle and I want to make sure I can support myself. I was going to be a Chemistry Major, but then I decided that I shouldn’t do that, because I realized that it would be a waste of time. I just feel like it wouldn’t be the right choice.

Me:: Um yes well that’s great, did you see the last soccer game? Our middle school won it in OT 2-1.

Her:: Yes I know it was great, I was on a soccer team when I was little and this girl was so mean to me. OMG like, one time she p~~~ed me off by saying I hand-balled, when really I didn’t, but she didn’t know.. and I was so angry. I couldn’t believe she could accuse me of that. I had to tell our coach after practice, I think I may have cried.

Me:: Well okay, dinner is ready. I’m going to go eat now. It was nice talking to you.

Her:: I enjoyed talking to you too. I may be around later, but then I may go out to get some food too. I’m not sure yet, I don’t really feel hungry, but if you call and I don’t pickup, I’m probably with Heather and we’re getting a bite. I’m not sure what we’ll eat though, maybe sushi. I like sushi.

Me:: O–okay. I’ll call you later.

Her:: Kbai muah! <3

Me:: *walks to nearest toilet, drops the phone in— shudders*

I’ve met women like this many times. They just can’t seem to pull themselves apart from their own narrative. I think that is half the problem of the narcissistic female condition, because it’s all based on how they “feel”.  Anyone else met a woman like this?

Man looking at the world (and universe) with fascination.
Woman entirely self-interested and self-obssessed.

Terrific observation.

You don’t even need to meet them personally… it’s everywhere:

•••

Doesn’t even know (or care!) if the world is round or flat – even though she has been through grade school and has seen a globe before. But all she cares about (in her own words!) is feeding her fat ass and her kids fat asses. A walrus thinks in exactly the same way. It blew my hair right back when I read Schopenhauer’s essay “on women” c.1865 where he deconstructs the female and points out her complete lack of objectivity and interests in anything but herself.

This is even embedded deep within their anti-male / anti-MGTOW “shaming tactics”….. where they might say something like “all MGTOW do is bitch about women”, to which one could reply:

MGTOW do not “bitch about women”. We are discussing what women actually ARE – and what they actually DO. “Women” is a little half of the world. And it’s manly thing to observe the world exactly as it is. When I look at the moon and observe it for exactly what it is, I might say “Gee, it’s a lifeless rock with no atmosphere”. That’s not called “bitching about the moon”.

Even within the shaming language itself, women admit that men look carefully at something OTHER THAN THEMSELVES and see it for what it really is. When women look at something, they only care about how it relates to HER PERSONALLY. Talk about (and notice) what they do in the aggregate, and what does a woman do? She talks about HERSELF as if MOST women don’t matter a damn.

“Well MY husband…. and MY wedding…. and MY ring…… and MY dress…. and MY marriage….. and MY relationship… and MY divorce…. and MY kids…. “.

She doesn’t even say “OUR wedding”…. or “the ring he gave me”.

You just can’t get anymore self-interested than a female. It’s remarkable.

Even trained scientists do this (M & F), and they should know better if anyone does. When presented with data that violate their preconceived outcomes, they double down on their preconceptions and argue in circles. In short, this is why I quit discussing politics with the campus communists.

“Well MY husband…. and MY wedding…. and MY ring…… and MY dress…. and MY marriage….. and MY relationship… and MY divorce…. and MY kids…. “.

Incredible how women think that achievements of their extended family members are somehow their own. My ex wife couldn’t shut up about her sister and the brother in-law and his extended family in social settings like this is somehow her accomplishments. She hasn’t accomplished anything in life, so she thought she could get her social status by bragging about her family. Men kept shrugging off her comments in disbelief (why is she talking about this?), but women actually were genuinely interested in all of this success by association.

I endured this self-obsession while I worked for other people.  At one company I worked for, the resident crap artist kept blathering on about his medical student wife and any success she had was automatically his, even though all he had was a B. Sc.  What made it worse was that he was an actual crap artist who could try to convince anyone that black is white.

I also put up with that nonsense from my departmental colleagues while I was a post-secondary instructor.  Inevitably, every conversation eventually gravitated to someone talking about themselves and their brats.  Their brats were so good, so talented that the children of Lake Woebegone were morons.  Since I never married and have no family of my own, I could talk only about myself or about, say, current events.  Typically, if I ever said anything about me, people called me arrogant.  If I talked about something in the news and, worse, took a stand about something, I was opinionated.

Yet, those same people wondered why I avoided staff social events…..

I watched about half of that video clip before switching it off.  The scary thing is that the show has an enormous influence on people, even though what they say is empty blather.  It’s like what Macbeth says in a soliloquy, “full of sound and fury, signifying nothing”.

RoyDal:

Academics may often give the impression about being closed-minded.  Often, they are defensive out of conviction, but also legitimate skepticism.  Even if there may be data which contradict what they’ve come to accept, they should be properly examined in order to determine their legitimacy and if they were acquired properly.  Many times, results are announced, only to be withdrawn because of measurement error or misinterpretation.  In some cases, however, some findings appear to be so outlandish that researchers willingly publish the numbers and invite their colleagues to prove them wrong.

However, many academics have no convictions whatsoever and will investigate anything so long as someone else is paying for it.  Academic research has become a matter of money nowadays and people will work on whatever gets funded.  One consequence of that is a herd mentality and, often, good ideas are pushed aside because no one is willing to finance a researcher interested in them.  (I largely paid for my Ph. D. work out of my own pocket, which irritated my supervisor as he couldn’t tell me what to do since I was the one signing the cheques.)

However, that herd mentality often leads to conformity to whatever is accepted as the status quo.  New ideas are risky and may not be readily accepted, even though there is evidence supporting them.  Worse yet, they might not receive funding.

Research is far from neutral, impartial, and objective.
