 I don’t like Harari either btw. 

The point I’m making is more about how you deal with the broader world outside close family structures. It’s also about dropping cultural identities in favor of individual acumen. Focus less on god given traits and more on what you can achieve with or without said traits. 

That said as a man within a family structure you are loved conditionally, while expected to provide unconditional love and support. Just the nature of being a man. 
 There is the nuance! Boom 💥 

Now read back what you said without adding the context, ie. that you knew you were talking about specific social dynamic/interaction.

We talked past each other, what you thought you said and what I heard were super different. Think we all (self and others) to get out of this Twitter mindset of saying a few words (or reading in my case) and thinking that clearly sums up a subject. We lack depth and end up with missed communications.

I wonder how many other people would read your words and commented their agreement, but in their minds they were taking the social queue that “Hodl is affirming my stance of being selfish in all of my interactions with others”? Not what you said, but what could be heard.

Anyway keep up the chat and content. Got you next up on Fountain in the queue with WBD. Looking forward to the listen. 🤙 
 Also, I know you’re not of the school of thought as Harari. Nothing I’ve heard from your content has suggested that, which is why I called out that it was not what I thought you meant.
