Positive psychology is very popular these days, and everybody wants the secret key to happiness. Go figure; everybody wants to be happy. What can evolutionary psychology say about how to be happy? One of the things that evolution has done is to make men and women very different. One of the ways that men and women are different is in what makes them happy. Forget what feminists, hippies, and liberals have told you in the last half century. They are all lies based on political ideology and conviction, not on science. Contrary to what they may have told you, it is very unlikely that money, promotions, the corner office, social status, and political power will make women happy. Similarly, it is very unlikely that quitting their jobs, dropping out of the rat race, and becoming stay-at-home dads to spend all their times with their children will make men happy. Money, promotions, the corner office, social status, and political power are what make men happy (as long as they win, of course, but then dropping out is by definition a defeat). Spending time with their children is what makes women happy. As Danielle Crittenden very eloquently argues in her book What Our Mothers Didn’t Tell Us: Why Happiness Eludes the Modern Women, it is very unlikely that women will be truly happy without having children, but, as Crittenden points out, there are ways to combine careers with motherhood. It’s not the way that the feminists have told us. Men and women are very different, because they are designed by millions of years of evolution to be very different. Women cannot become happy by pretending to be men, and men cannot become happy by pretending to be women. Swedes have already tried that, and they have failed massively and spectacularly. What can evolutionary psychology tell us about what we as a society can do so as not to repeat the Swedish mistake and make our citizens happy? The best thing to do is to kill all the feminists and hippies and liberals. Destroy political correctness completely once and for all. Teach boys and girls that they are different, not the same, and that it’s okay (nay, wonderful) to be different. One is not right and the other is not wrong. Stop telling girls that they are inferior versions of boys, as feminists have done for the last half century, or, as has more recently been the case, stop telling boys that they are inferior versions of girls. Live as you feel like, not as you think you should live like. Your feelings are seldom wrong, because you are designed to feel certain way by millions of years of evolution. Decades of feminism can’t stop that. You are seldom wrong if you follow your feelings; you are seldom right if you follow feminism or any other political ideology. <DIV>If you want to find out how content and happy you are take this quiz (only 10 questions) http://psychologytoday.psychtests.com/cgi-bin/health/transfer_health.cgi?partner=pt&test=happiness
Your saying is just a miserable way to justify one's insanity, isn't it?
No, it isn't. You are too serious to understand it. Some people usually use this saying to laugh at those who are too trivial to accept their behaviour and regard their actions as "craziness". It's not an attempt to justify smth, it's a kind of "I'm happy enought without your advice".
this saying to laugh at those who are too trivial to accept their behaviour and regard their actions as "craziness"
no!) at those who fail to understand that. by the way, don't you see that insanity is an objective issue. One's thinking of his normality doesn't guarantee this)) a cuckoo may regard himself mentally health for all his life, staying at the cuckoo's nest, and certainly that doesn't mean he isn't crazy. see my point??
I see your point and I just quess that we'll never come to agreement, because we are talking about absolutely different themes... I speak 'bout those who aren't (!) real nutcases being regarded as madmen (by other people!) and you are talking about those who can be (!) really insane but regard themselves (!) as normal. Seems to be the same, but, these are completely different situations...
Being regarded as madmen by other people means being madmen. Again this saying is used by those who want to prove to their pahetic personalities that they are still sane)) pay attention to one thing again - no one asks your opinion, people have their own))
Well, my advise is - eat more sweets and bananas and u'll be happy)) But be cautious, because if you are always happy, people will think that you are crazy)))
Well, I can't agree with one thing... the author of the article (Satoshi Kanazawa) tries to assure us that, as Assa has mentioned, "imposed stereotypes of behaviour are no good". But at the same time the article has another stereatyped opinion: family makes women happy and job makes men happy. I don't think that one's happyness really depends on one's sex. Everything depends on one's PERSONALITY. But I want to say THANK YOU, Assa, for the last link))))) According to the test, I'm 68% happY)))))) Quite cool)))))))))))
I completely agree with you. But the idea was: imposed stereotypes of behaviour are no good. "You are seldom wrong if you follow your feelings; you are seldom right if you follow feminism or any other political ideology." - that's the idea. It doesn't concern metrosexuality)))))
Completely agree with the whole message but can't agree with one point: "Live as you feel like, not as you think you should live like". I mean that if for some reason a boy wants to be a girl or behave as a girl (for example, because of suffering from some mental illness or feeling lack of self-actualization, or even both), it's not good anyway. It means he hasn't been properly brought up , it's a kind of derivation from normal behavior. And he should be able to understand it himself. More than that, as one of our teachers said, nowadays we see a process of social feminization, that means that more and more young men these days behave like girls (so called metrosexuals, or even homosexuals). A man should be a man, and a woman should be a woman. If everything is turned upside down, it's a sickness. Maybe it's even a social desease, a virus that is being spread over the whole population.
:D
