cc would love honest opinions and reactions from @cameron, @hyper, @farcasteradmin.eth, @july and @nonlinear.eth — men i admire for their honesty and thoughtfulness (and, often, cheekiness). ChatGPT summary below since it is a long article.
I think this tracks - will read the article too. seeing similar stories in mid-life for friends. many of whom have hit a lot of the conventional metrics of "success" but maybe need work in other places definitely need a positive modern def of "manliness" in the fallout of the discourse around "toxic masculinity"
toxic masculinity must go any effort to make it go faster is justified and for the better
the long and short is that people need to leave their bedroom and go outside to do some labor, riding a horse is controlling a beast. Beyond that these are mostly a gimmick and I come from enough ranching to know it’s full of drunks cowards and assholes same as anything
Would also love your thoughts on this @matthew as you mentioned a bit of this stuff on the stream with @ishika :)
