Oddbean new post about login | logout Germany has this, with Gleitzeit (you can spread your working hours over the course of the month), but some jobs really need a tight shift schedule, as otherwise the customers show up and lights are out. I think the latter are simply not jobs appropriate for everyone. Not just fertile women. Also, family men or those caring for the disabled or elderly, or anyone with chronic illness, can't always just jump up and run out the door and stand at a machine for 8 hours straight .
Absolutely 🙏🏽 Oh and another thing which I feel is so important to illuminate: Men also run through monthly hormonal cycles...and also have lows and highs...They have been taught that this is not the case...but it is! And also men may learn to listen again to their body and take their time when they feel a low...otherwise it can turn into illness, rage, depression....
We're all industrially farmed animals, now, and some animals are more tamed than others.
We've actually been that for a long time now...
I'm not well suited to it, I'm sure plenty on here aren't.
That's why we're here, and not there.
I've got a feeling the whole "advanced" civilisation thing where most people are doing what most people don't need or seldom need is never stable or maintainable long term, the problem is the population has gone beyond the numbers that can be sustained otherwise... Rome was rather a soft landing, I don't see how it can be for us.
the entire ecosystem is affected by the changes of gravity and radiation caused by the presence of the moon in its orbit around us, from the tides to the blocking effect of the moon shielding us from solar radiation to the rise and fall of gravity due to the alignment/opposition/square relations of the moon relative to the sun and it affects the magnetic fields as well, there is an entire complex of magnetic flux lines that are constantly changing due to the orbits of the planets and these have big effects on how much radiation hits us both from the sun, from the galaxy around us, and even from such things as jupiter and saturn
ancient jewish and chinese and other calendars also were devised to track these things... modern technology allows us to also further monitor the sunspots, plasma channels and explosions that blast plasma at us, and shower us with X-rays and other things, these all have massive influences, and the Hindus and their Yuga thing... yes, turns out that this is a cycle that is created by the rotation of the galactic disc and when it gets to the vertical points every ~12000 years it can cause such drastic effects as causing the entire earth to rotate to a new rotation axis, the 6000 and 12000 and 25000 year cycles the hindus talked about are real, and we are in the midst of a reversal now, and likely within 30 years there could be such a dramatic disaster that very few of us survive according to fossil and genetic records, one of these transitions some 50,000 years ago almost wiped out humans altogether
in 30 years! I'll stop saving for retirement then.
no, keep saving, but think about how to get into a place where you won't get washed away by the ocean flooding everything and the rain dumping petatons of water on you at the same time also, pray that there is a Jesus and he's coming with his posse to collect the righteous
The Hopi nation from the 4 corners region (Utah/Arizona, NM, Colorado) have the legend that they emerged from a cave in the ground and the god told them to spread out.
yes, "a god" in old myths is a keyword that usually refers to a human with advanced scientific knowledge and benevolent intentions, usually... some of them are not benevolent, thus shit like the human sacrifice of the aztecs and the more modern cult of kings
As far as I know, men have more likely a daily cycle of rising and falling testosterone. No doubt they cycle with the moon aswell… everyone does, differently, but men need to be always ready in that case, so they get some daily peaks. They should be able to live out their hormonal triggers, express feelings and movement, or as you say, they bottle their feelings up.
There's a reason they start having heart attacks in middle age. Worn out. Trying to get Hubby to dial back the stress at work, some more. Money isn't everything.
bitcoin fixes this
Yeah, but he his idea of relaxing is volunteer working. 😂 He has me to teach him proper chilling. Extreme relaxing.
i say that such things are for example a session in a float tank, or a massage and acupuncture session, or a days long journey into the wilderness and camping and such things that are mostly not doable in your own house, especially not if it is your workplace
Take care of your man 🫂
I try, but he's stubborn and doesn't like to be babied. 😂
he will absorb the wisdom, but it needs to spring from himself to motivate him... this is the nature of Man
