You’re personifying many complicated things of abstract concepts that mesh and interact with each other in various ways. An unstopped parasitic mold might be a better metaphor.

Thank you :)

I assume you are thinking about the machine framing. Perhaps, but I can’t decide whether I agree or disagree. On the other hand, I think the machine is a very good analogy for the structure of might. As something unfeeling, uncaring, mechanical, focused on efficiency rather than meaning.

If it is unclear, this is the kind of image I’m talking about when I say the motherly machine.

Tbh the only thing I got from this text was sexism, not an image

Honestly, I don’t see why you would think that. Is it because a mother and father are gendered? Then do you think the term “mother earth” is also sexist?

If the term “mother earth” is sexist or not is something that depends on the context. Well, imo.

The characteristics you project to motherhood and fatherhood are totally stereotypical.

To me it seems obvious you haven’t spent any time on this topic and I assume that since you like writing, most probably you like reading? If that’s the case, I invite you to use your favorite search engine and start researching this topic. I really hope you’ll enjoy the findings!

Thank you for elaborating.

The only reason we say “mother Earth” is so that we can apply the symbolic meaning of motherhood upon Earth. Otherwise we might as well say “planet Earth” and cut the unwanted associations.

The characteristics you project to motherhood and fatherhood are totally stereotypical.

I’m simply using daoism and yinyang. Yin representing the feminine energy and yang representing the masculine energy. I’m using mother and father as images of forwarding the yin and yang upon the machine. By doing so, we get a wholistic insight into the nature of the machine, why the machine is attractive and how the machine is destructive.

So the question is then; Do you think that yinyang is sexist, or that I’m using yinyang in a sexist manner?

To me it seems obvious you haven’t spent any time on this topic and I assume that since you like writing, most probably you like reading? If that’s the case, I invite you to use your favorite search engine and start researching this topic. I really hope you’ll enjoy the findings!

If you want to challenge me on any statement or positions, go ahead. If you have any questions for me, I’ll answer them. If you want me to look into an article and give you my impressions go ahead and share. But simply “do research”, “ask AI” makes me depressed because I’m here to have conversations. If it is dumb or smart conversations. I believe that we find the right way when we talk with each other instead of outsourcing conversations to the machine.

You say you want a conversation with me but you don’t even bother taking into account my suggestion which was actually very simple:

do a search of the word “sexism” and read at least something about it.

Instead, you chose to write this comment. Your approach doesn’t make me want to give you any more of my time at this point. So bye bye for now

Neither of us are getting anything out of this, so let’s shake hand on that at least.
