Those without compensate throughout

When someone doesn't have something they're supposed to, or even that they believe they're supposed to, the brain naturally seeks to compensate. We know this occurs physically, like when people lose their sight or sense of hearing, and over time their remaining senses seem to grow sharper. There are also examples of this dynamic breaking down, like with "ghost limbs", where the brain is receiving sensory input from an appendage which is simply no longer present.

So if this occurs in the physical realm, is it a surprise that the same compensation occurs in the psychological realm?

Fathers of daughters, without sons, will tend to push at least one of their daughters towards more masculine activities, and due to the natural mirroring of the young female mind to a dominant male mind, they'll go right along with it, completely unaware of how odd the circumstances may become. This is the "tomboy" phenomenon, and while not necessarily a good or bad thing in and of itself, against the backdrop of a more and more feminized society, what was otherwise innocuous takes on a more foreboding connotation.

To contrast with a more intrinsically masculine society, women would still have had skills and talents which may overlap with men, but the overlap was never taken to be a form of equality. A frontier mother would need to know how to shoot, to dress game, to care for livestock and such, not because her husband couldn't or wouldn't be the one primarily responsible for accomplishing those tasks, but because sometimes she needed to help out, sometimes her husband would be gone for a time, sometimes he'd be sick or injured, and especially if her sons were still young, she'd need to step up.

In one case, the compensation is natural, driven by external circumstances, and in the other, the compensation is unnatural, driven by internal expectations.

Parents have an intrinsic desire, a deep seated need, to pass on what they know to their offspring. This passage of information played a role in our current social dynamics, because young boys and girls are constantly being taught that there is no difference between them, that any lesson meant for a boy can be taught to a girl, and vice versa.

The problem with this is that the compensation for boys and girls is, again, forced, not naturally occurring. The boys and girls are psychologically compensating for reasons that are terrible, in that the boys are pushed to compensate for not being girls, and the girls for not being boys.

The result of this over time is that girls don't ever become very good women, and boys don't ever become very good men. Both end up in the middle somewhere, poorly defined, no specialization based on inherent capability, and thus no excellence to be found either.

Such reasons to compensate then, to adapt, are obviously unwise and should be avoided, but why aren't they? Why do people even go so far as to double-down on such experiments by forcing other people to behave like them as well through social or legal pressure?

What has happened is that, thanks to resource abundance, the selective pressures which sustained the constraints for which people properly compensated or died, have now been replaced with abstract or arbitrary constraints, defined by ideals and hypothesis absent any real negative consequences should a choice turn out to have been the wrong one.

Specifically, in the current era, you can be entirely pathetic as an individual, lacking in any real redeeming qualities, and your survival on a day-to-day basis isn't really threatened at all. Even if you have a lot of resources at your beck and call, the results of your efforts are little more than altars to waste and excess.

The lifted short-bed pickup truck with low-profile mud terrain tires.

The headphones that cost hundreds because of the brand and not their audio fidelity.

The handheld devices that filling every minute of your day with pointless distractions.

Each of them had a tangible, pragmatic, useful ancestor. Each of them, at one time, had constraints on them which shaped and formed them based on their actual utility, and not just on how they made someone feel.

And this is where psychological compensation gets its grounding, albeit subjectively and shakily, in feelings.

The tacticool rifle and useless survival gear makes the guy feel like he can survive SHTF.

The social media account with tons of followers and interaction makes the girl feel like she has value.

The successful career and freedom to do anything he wants means he's been successful in life.

In each case, they are compensating, adapting, in alignment with a subjective belief, and not an objective reality. In each compensation for something that these people think they don't have, and either need or need a workaround for, they're shifting their behaviors based on perception, not truth. Sure, an individual can get lucky every now and again, and what one feels does align with reality, but that's usually more of a coincidence than a result of the individual being correct or trustworthy.

As bad as things can get, however, because these prompts for compensation are synthetic, they can always be replaced, and if done intentionally, by grounding them objective truths as well. You can synthetically apply to yourself the restrictions necessary to shape you in objectively better ways.

Even for someone who has journeyed down the wrong path for even the majority of their life, it's never too late to make better choices, to ground themselves in what really is or isn't instead of what one merely thinks is or isn't. People are never beyond redemption so long as they can still make choices.

It just takes more effort, since nature and fate have stepped back for a time and aren't forcing one to choose better.

So choose better, even if you're not being forced to do so, in how you raise your children, in the type of vehicle you drive, in the type of foods you eat, in the company of folks you keep.

Even better, what you'll also find is that over time, what you feel will align to what you do. Instead of being driven by emotion, what you do will shape how you feel, and so the greatest difficulty is mostly in the beginning, when your feelings are still calibrated by chance instead of your choice.

Cuckstianity

If they reject Jesus Christ, they'll reject you as well.

If paying the price for sin isn't "enough" for them, isn't a "big deal", then nothing you can add will make any difference in the end.

Doesn't matter what you've done for them, what you have sacrificed, they are the center of the universe, they are gods, your fealty has come into question, and further sacrifices are now required to demonstrate where your true loyalties lie.

If they cannot be satisfied with what Jesus already did, God become man, then nothing you do will make a difference.

No compromise with evil ever results in good.

Supporting evil is not good, but evil.

Only Jesus Christ saves.

Preach Jesus Christ, nothing more, nothing less.

It isn't a "purity spiral" if truth is at the center.

Reality checks

We like to compare ourselves to others. We like to contrast what we are capable of with what others are capable of. We like to understand where we are at in a proverbial hierarchy. We then like to act based on where we think we are versus where we think we should be.

A video shared by Vox Day in a recent post was this type of video. It is supposed to be an erudite discussion related to a book that Vox Day recently published, but it rather quickly turned into a petty competition between the speakers as to who was "better" than Vox Day.

This is a great example of what not to do, because even the "winner" of such a lame competition is still a loser, and that's before we account for the feminine passive-aggressive methods they use to try and "win" in the first place.

If you watch the video, it's much easier to suffer through it if you pretend that everyone speaking is a woman, and they're all upset because a man had the audacity to call their whore friend a whore, and since they're also whores, they're now defending their whore friend to prevent anyone from calling them a whore as well.

If that doesn't work for you, also realize those folks are all going to hell, and you can tell this because of how they argue. It's revealed by what they think really matters, and in their belief that sacrificing truth, let alone cogency and brevity, that they believe they will somehow dazzle God the same way they can run circles around people who aren't as smart as they are. That they'll find a loophole and get the upper hand on God, because their own judgment is really that good. That if they just keep talking, just like their false prophets, that they'll accidentally stumble upon the magic words that will save them from their sins. Because they keep talking for almost three hours.

Their plan won't work, and Christians "playing along" only reinforce their delusion that the game is going "their way", so the best thing to do is not play along at all. To point out lies and deceit and to shun unrepentant sinners, and to properly foreshadow how conditional God's grace and mercy ultimately are.

At this point in time, the only way folks like these have a chance of becoming aware of just how many false gods they worship is if every one of those gods is utterly destroyed. That'll happen at the end of time, but we'd be doing them a favor if we crushed the false gods sooner than later.

When not destroying their idols, you can also pray for them and people like them, who are still on the outside looking in, convinced that they'll remedy their fallen state by their own power. Pray that God can break their stubbornness well before they meet God face-to-face on judgment day.

Public schools are asexual reproduction

Sexual reproduction is when two members of a species combine their genetics to produce children, and their children will possess traits of both parents.

Asexual reproduction is when a single member of a species breaks off some of their self-replicating genetics to produce offspring, and that offspring will be largely identical to the single parent.

Ok?

Homeschooling is when two parents combine their wisdom and knowledge to produce adults, and that adult will possess traits of both parents.

Public schools take groups of children and put them under the care of a teacher, with the intent that all the students will become identical to the teacher.

Ok?

They started at "the end", with college and career, and have been working backwards to complete their "alternative system".

Their ideal would be to produce offspring without sexual interactions at all. They see that as "progress".

That is also the only way for "equality" to ever work, if every individual is literally identical in every way, like a strain of virus or bacteria, not requiring anyone else from the strain in order to successfully compete for survival in the material world.

These are the kinds of atomized and individualistic delusions that people who can't, or won't, compete as a sexually reproducing species cling to.

Homeschool your biological children. The human species, as designed by God, cannot survive without that specific combination.
