Ancient Intelligence

In this episode some of the ways in which the co-creative dance between the sexes has broken down.

I explore how modern narratives misunderstand the age old duality of masculine vision paired with feminine expression. I talk about what people really didn’t get about the Mrs. Degree conversations from the past in addition to why it shouldn’t be controversial to say that most people just want to get together and have kids. Listen in to learn about how greater male variability works, the real reason women choose caregiving professions, and more.

In this episode I dive into what I’ve recently uncovered about the origins of the women’s movement and what the psychology of the women that started it was like. This led me to an important insight about the relationship between rights and responsibilities (or the lack of it in many cases especially today). This insight can explain some of the big misunderstandings we have in our culture between men and women.

Listen into learn about the early life of Elizabeth Cody Stanton, the purpose of chivalry, the myth of female powerlessness, how sexual dynamics today are shaped by the misunderstandings of the past, and more.

**Inspired by the work of Janice Fiamengo

This episode is about the power of men. I love the word power because in contrast to control or force, it means to influence others towards a greater good. This is who most men are - givers dedicated to the greater good.

I get into why the ‘be vulnerable’ or ‘share your feelings’ narratives in the media misunderstand who men are at their core. Listen in to learn about why acknowledgment matters to men, masculine identity versus the ideology that’s been painted, the deep emotional wound men carry, the three most important things to men, elder role models, the Orthodox Church, and ultimately the difference in how men and women relate to relationships.

This episode is a follow up to The Fall of Beauty in Our Society PT 1

I touch on the two different schools of feminist thought that were prevalent post WW1 and suffrage, the feminism of care and the feminism of freedom (which was a class battle in and of itself). I talk about how the rejection of the nature of the female body in order to ‘find success like men’ was the beginning of the loss of meaning and value for women.

What would our world today look like if the feminism of care had won? A beautiful idea to ponder.

**Correction note: I said severing procreation from pregnancy a few times. I meant sex from procreation.

In this episode I get into the collapse of real beauty in our modern world and what that says about the deeper spiritual disconnect between men and women.

Listen in to learn about what beauty actually is and why it matters? How beauty and action work together creating an infinite loop? What happens when one part of yin/yang breaks? What does our sense of meaning and purpose have to do with beauty? What is our highest calling as men and women? What happens when we don’t honor that? And more.

The biggest problem that exists today is the ’us versus them’ narrative about men and women that gets perpetuated in the mainstream.

How did it get this way? What’s happening? In this episode I attempt to unpack some of the things that I think are factors in this including how modern comforts erased our physical differences, the historical abuse and control of women, the collective dismissal and lack of empathy towards men, and much more. Listen in to learn about the dark triad, luxury beliefs, our pain points as men and women, and what we need to do about this.

Sports are a great analogue for pointing out the clear differences between men and women. Understanding these differences helps us understand the difference in values men and women innately have and why when women start to pretend they value things that men value, they lose what makes them attractive in the first place.

Learn about why men are wired to focus on competition and action? What makes a woman truly alluring( it’s not what you think)? And how therapy misses what actually matters to men?

The reality is that women cannot handle stress the way men can and there’s a really great reason for that. If they could the following would not be true:

Women are losing their cycles in record numbers and dissociating from their bodies. Women are using antidepressants 2X the number men are. 80% of autoimmune disfunction and diseases happens in women.

These are not accidents.

In this episode I explore the differences between men and women that have been true since the beginning of time and remain true today. I discuss the themes of beauty, relational intuition, purpose, and taking action. I break down the story of the fall in a new way (inspired by Stasi Eldredge) and clarify what the purpose of man and woman is and what happens when we live the opposite of our design.

Another Subscriber Q&A! The questions I cover are:

Loved your video on male initiation stage 1 - boys and their moms. What about female initiation? For the girl dads.

What advice do you have for men who get very nervous when they see a woman they want to ask out and end up not asking her out, even just for a smoothie to get to know each other as friends, not as a date?

From a female perspective is it ok and justifiable for men to prefer women who aren’t promiscuous/have a lower body count? If so, why?

What qualities do you look for in a man?

Do you listen to advice from your girlfriends? Why or why not?

What’s your favorite success story?

Do you think public schools or homeschooling is better? Which will you do when the time comes?
