TheRedSquirrel87: BMI is an audacious one because it presents itself as a standard to help find the healthiest weight to be, but what is healthy BMI today would come out as fat BMI by the 1959 standard of BMI.


Scandalous for it to shift around like this as surely the best BMI is the one which makes your organs fail at the latest possible date. That which keeps you living longer and this doesn't change when the people around you put on weight.

The only argument you could make against that could be used against all good health advice. If you made BMI about ideal health then even more would people would show up as overweight on their BMI, which would make people self-conscious which leads to stress which leads to illness.

Showing people the best way could remind people of their inferior ways, and instead of this spurring them on to do better, they simply feel bad about themselves and get sick thereby.

Now that is really about whether you'll take good advice as good advice or whether you'll take it as a personal criticism. In a feminine society where women rule good advice will be taken as personal criticism and all attempts to improve humanity and the world are thwarted by the easily butthurt self-consciousness of womankind.

pat8lanips: According to my BMI I'm overweight (185cm 85kg). But you wouldnt probably think that by appearances. Probably half people are fatter and half skinnier. Hence, I feel my measurements are representative of "average".


.
I read that BMI went out the window and people are better left natural and how they feel, l saw a doctor a year ago for the first time in 30 years and he told me l need to lose 23 kilos, if l have been wearing the same size clothes for 30 years why would l need to lose that amount of weight. Unless his family make children's clothes that is.

Even alpha women. Now arrogant men aren't good at taking advice or criticism but what they don't do is attempt to destroy the very concept of good advice and all the knowledge and good sense which leads to it. If a real man scores low on an IQ test he doesn't become an enemy of IQ tests everywhere or heartily insist that IQ tests are an inadequate measure of intelligence.

The problem with the alpha male is his ability to be basically fine after enduring the most humiliating day of his life. He's incorrigible. He's not against criticism(like a woman)so much as he is above criticism. He doesn't care enough about what you say(even if you're a respected individual or body)to try and stop you from saying it and that's the difference between the alpha male and the woman.

The opposite problem to the beta male and his tendency to do everything women or the world tell him to do only to die a virgin in a ditch.

Well, for me
average weight usually means "I am a step away from fat"...or "I can't be bothered to do better"...
As for IQ average, it can be pretty entertaining and just enough,
I know some people with extremely high IQ and they are extremely unpleasant to have a chat with and others with an average one that can provide an interesting conversation for hours...

Don't know why but "average person" brings to mind "boring"... dunno

Like "I am an average kind of guy" means "Don't expect much from me"...

Back to the theme of average... In the olden days beta males were tougher and alpha males were more civilised. No beta was as embarrassing as the modern beta and no traditional alpha was as indifferent as the modern alpha, where the typical greatest generation man was 3 parts beta to 2 parts alpha the boomer male is perhaps 4 parts beta to 1 part alpha(with a small minority of super alpha rock stars and Simon Cowells hoarding it all).

I believe that in the coming years historians and philosophers will talk about what little impact women's liberation had on the nature of woman and yet strangely it has driven the world of men to extremes.

At least for the majority of people(the working class)the woman is paid to do in industry by her liberating employer what she did out of compassion for the chains of her loving family. And then she goes home and does the double shift. Cleans, cooks and talks by day for work and cleans, cooks and talks in the evening for family. Women's lib is like the primary school teacher telling a class of infants to make drawings out of stencils and glitter - making drawings out of stencils and glitter is what they would have done if the teacher wasn't even in the room!

The male equivalent of her is the Pedro no shifts. The total collapse of manhood's morale and sense of meaning in the world.

And this is what's driving the mental breakdown - the sense of being underappreciated and meaningless.

For example in Israel where they have a very strong sense of tribal, national and communal identity and purpose PTSD seldom becomes chronic in the individual. Post-Traumatic-Stress-Disorder which is an adaptive tool of survival in its acute stage to create a heightened sense of alertness which protects against threats does not easily develop into the problematic chronic stage of PTSD amongst the Israelis. The reason for this is because the people of Israel have an overarching sense of collective meaning and purpose which all individuals can buy into. Israel isn't liberal in the individualistic sense and that's why they have stronger bonds and higher levels of mental resolve.

God forbid you ever experience anything that traumatising, but PTSD is the best thing in the world for the first 6 months after the event. It'll keep you alive and it'll keep you focused. You won't kill yourself or get yourself killed thanks to acute PTSD.

The problem is chronic PTSD: The world of constant torment where you see yourself as a "survivor" just for surviving the demons in your own head. Demons which should have been silenced long ago if only you had the perspective on life.
