I'm saying that culturally, there are different methods of problem solving taught.* They're solving different problems that only appear to be the same. Look here:* See that video up above? It's trying to tell you something. You don't need to comprehend it.* I comprehend it. You don't have to agree with it either. I don't like what it says. I think the concept of women and men being different beyond gender and obvious things like nocturnal emissions and pregnancy* is silly. The differences as shown in this video are PRIMARILY cultural in nature. Still, we know the stereotype that it portrays.* We've SEEN the stereotype in action.* Whether or not it has a medical basis, people believe it's a reality. When you deal with people who believe in that reality, if you want to communicate with them most effectively, you have to understand a perspective that's not yours. If you don't want to, that's fine.* But it's not that you can't.* Women and men are not so terribly different fundamentally. Just trained that way.* I'm amazed I'd get any disagreement to that but such as it is. Nevertheless, Plato was wrong and Aristotle after him.* Smart in a lot of ways and I'm grateful, but really, the concept that there is an eternal world of ideas that exists separate from the physical world?* Silliness that we believe and are taught generation after generation.* Some people actually believe the universe is mathematics, rather than mathematics providing a nice model for the Universe for humans to understand.* WE get things flipflopped as a species so easily.* The brain isn't like a computer; a computer is based on a human's limited understanding of how the brain functions and is mimicking it.* Oh well. Notice something: As you respond to me, are you reasoning?* Logical?* Rationally considering with a cold, clear head? Or annoyed with me and responding with passion? JB My apologies for being insensitive to your needs.* I will say something that will take your feelings into consideration:* Observe: Jack, you are correct.* I am an idiot who doesn't know what he is talking about.* I have been brainwashed by feminism and am a poor example of the male species, so much so that any guy should be ashamed to even be talking to me.* I am wrong.* You are right and I apologize for being a fool.* I will change my way of thinking now.* You've proven me wrong. There we go. The proper emotional response to this is, "F'off", "I'm done with you now", "No point in talking to you", "Why did I even waste my time here?" or something about me being irrational and illogical. All emotional responses.* Not logical.* Not rational.* Emotional. Ask yourself: *What could be more important to her than the nail in her head?" Let go of the emotional response of "She's stupid/illogical/etc".* That's an emotional response on your part. Instead, pretend she's a logical being.* 100% rational.* But she has a piece of information that you can't see yet. What is it?* Be logical, not emotional in your response.* It's not that difficult. Step away from the nail.* Pull back.* You are a screenwriter setting up the scene. Who is sitting there in the room right now?* What is their relationship?** Again, use logic.
