  • It's a beautiful song! The lyrics are very touching and realistic... but the West lost its heart and depth sometime in the last century (people used to dance to "Baby Come Back" and Barry White, there used to be real emotion, real lyrics and vulnerability in display, now we have Ice Spice). It's poetry with a chill melodic base, those who don't care for the poetry might not appreciate it and I guess that's fine and expected.

    First time hearing it btw, thanks for the recommendation!

  • Simply because I wouldn't have met my wife, I suppose I wouldn't have. Also, being on the more "conversational" parts of the chans as a late teen made me (perhaps surprisingly) very empathetic and more merciful with my judgement and actions, and helped create a bigger "barrier" of human understanding between the words I hear/read and my reaction to them (very helpful as a hyperactive, sensitive guy!). But most of my ideology's "building blocks" come from very old and popular books, so maybe I would've developed into it/found my way to it, just a bit later. How could I know? 😅

  • We are, but only the truly simple minded can be thoroughly swayed and changed into an antisocial beast of propaganda, tasked with toil and consumption. So, there's no need to vilify "the algorithms" or their results... there's nothing wrong with YouTube recommending me a Japanese "Careless Whisper" cover from the 80s, based on my previous input. 😅

  • "I want a hardworking guy who shares my cultural background, to avoid any unnecessary friction with our families." I don't see the hatred or disregard for the humanity of women in your position. Who told you you were being misogynistic?

  • Solomon and his "Ecclesiastes" (I don't think the Qur'an counts if you truly believe it to be divinely inspired/dictated, and I also read Solomon first so...). If you haven't read it, go do so. Before your favourite Western existentialist, before Nietzsche and copycats, there was Solomon.

    Edit: and what Solomon posited/understood was that life is ultimately meaningless, so find satisfaction in your toil, eat, drink and be merry and enjoy your meaningless life with your spouse. But before everything and, after all has been said: fear God and keep his commandments, for this is your whole duty (Ecclesiastes assumes you know about/is for those who believe in Abrahamic/Mosaic monotheism). Not too revolutionary today, maybe (many most focus on the "eat and drink" part, I guess, lol), but this is not from today and will be relevant forever. I mean, some of you probably quote Ecclesiastes often (nothing new under the sun, the fly in the ointment, there's a time for everything, with much wisdom comes much sorrow, chasing after wind, and many more!) and don't even know it. 😁
