I try to keep quiet about dreams because I am not sure about the free will relevance of saying "I had a dream about xyz" and potentially giving that thought more credence. But, the dream, what was communicated in it. Is bugging me enough that I want to put it here. Not what the dream was specifically but the "energy" of it. It is as though I breathed in the deeply emotional vibe of this woman before I saw the video.
My thoughts though are relevant from these two sources. Not sure what I am going to say yet but this is my jumping off point:
Youtube: Karolina: I wasted an entire year after my breakup. Posted on 6th of January 2025:

and this:
Life stuff:
There are two sides of this that I want to discuss. One is the everyday life stuff. The thoughts that come from my experience in life. The second is what has come partly from the dream. That is a lot deeper.
Firstly, the post from "naturallymj" there, is very predictable from female psychology. I have seen this and heard this when women tell their stories from later in life. Womens general appreciation of the power they hold when they are in their twenties is not high. Often with the determination to cast themselves as victims - preventing them acknowledging the almost god like power to direct men they have at that age. They never enjoy the power they have in that part of their lives. Nor do they often notice it until it is gone.
If you happen to know a girl in her twenties then you can make this case. But they will ignore it. Because they cannot imagine not having the sexual market access they currently have. But as they age, they will slowly reduce the access they have. Bit by bit, day by day. Like ice eroding an entire cliff edge. So one day the shoe will be on the other foot. The power they take for granted will suddenly not be there and they will fly into a rage when the men they want, they no longer have power over. It will be something they have not experienced before.
Then they are "victims". But they are not victims. Especially if you tried to tell them. It's all so damn predictable. When the 20 year old girl rejects any advice even approaching that as it punctures her vanity. You know that five, ten, fifteen years down the line she will become a problem for you, which you might have to deal with in a ruthless manner. Not only that, but she will not be an asset. Because a girl that settles down in her twenties when she can get her best option (who is very likely to be very financially secure and to adore her) is the one that will be happiest and a benefit to those around her.
Vanity:
So I will discuss this from two perspectives. One is that this gods plan stuff is a cope. And the other is that "God" as such is very much a mystery.
I have a very mystical/ theological/ new age perspective. When a friend of mine killed herself a few years ago that I was close with. One of the things that helped was going to Near Death Experience books. I also went to the channeling I often mention, and dreams helped.
But, in dealing with the world. A lot of people are simply fairly anti all that spiritual stuff. In a lot of ways I find this annoying. Because to me, sayings like 'God helps those who help themselves' (not actually a bible verse). That kind of philosophy is relevant. I have talked to people with deep problems that refused to pray. For me, prayer is a solution to many many issues. I have told people previously that if they don't want to pray I have nothing further to tell them because prayer has worked for me so why would I look any further?
They generally have not liked this simple understanding. I have definitely gotten the vibe they wanted me to jump into action to "save" them further. Because they are unwilling to take this basic step in helping themselves.
But OK, if we are not to do the spiritual stuff. Shall we move onto something else? Relevant at this specific point is that I cannot really prove it. I will respect that people don't want to engage in spirituality if they want, under the Law of Free Will. But I think and feel, get the vibe, that the real reason people want to avoid the spiritual side of things is that they don't want a solution. Because a solution involves some sort of accountability. This happens in other areas of passive aggressive conflict as well. It has taken me a while to articulate a defence against this. But after years, with the help of Stefan Molyneux's podcast. I have done so.
This does have relevance to the subject matter. It is not completely a tangent. It links back.
One of the true satisfactions I have had in life. After people reject spirituality. Is learning the language of a secular understanding of all these things. People have no defence against this because, they are explicitly anti spiritual. Usually left wing and generally anti Christian. So they have submitted themselves, pushed a little and promoted Darwiniism as a world view. So it's hard for them to justify anything against that.
Under a secular world view then. The reason we are here is to have children. Under Darwiniism. That is the point of life. Not doing so is selfishness because our millions of ancestors all made that sacrifice for us. But also, the conscience is there for a purpose. That part of us that gets upset, and bitter, and all of it. The purpose of the conscience, well let's quote the man himself:
So the conscience is to align us with the rules of life that we know benefit the species. It is the most workable thing to have a loyal monogamous relationship for child rearing. It is the most workable thing for civilisation and tribal life if no one initiates the use of force for personal gain (this is separate from defensive violence).
This is where I would go with this:
Just do nothing:
The problem I have with the response on the 'naturallymj' tweet, and many, many of them are like that. Is that it sidesteps any accountability. The fact that this is the only one she answered shows something. If women as a whole, in our global tribe, are being overly vain in their youth and misusing the only true power women have. Then, acknowledging that and in some small way trying to help other young girls avoid that might be something worth doing. Or contributing to political ideologies, such as traditionalism, that already have solutions for that.
It is known in the 'red pill' that if men go through a horrible thing. They will try and advise the next generation on how to avoid it. If women make horrible decisions. They tend to justify those decisions and in so doing, they tend to encourage the next generation of women to do exactly the same things.
In our society this is also the path of least resistance. Just go with the crowd. "Have fun" in your 20's. Don't be a 'brood mare'. Etc. etc.
But in actual fact all these women are doing is spreading poison. Either push the message that girls should push against their galactic sized vanity. Or, you are not aligned with universal morals. And your conscience will continue to torment you.
The 'Gods plan' avoiding accountability tweet. That will make her feel good very briefly. It is designed to make her avoid accountability. But eventually her conscience will smite her again.
And deeper:
Nevertheless. I should say, that in my personal life. I cannot really apply "accountability" and it is something I am trying to handle. Emotionally. Regardless of where the grief springs from, it is still the same emotion.
I was ill when I was young and my life has basically been obliterated as far as I can tell. At least to the outward world. Barring some sort of 'QAnon' golden age type thing, as I talk about sometimes.
I do not have any qualifications to give me status. Or relationship experience that would give me the knowledge I need to conduct myself well and, what would probably be needed is to have kids in the next few years, and I am still ill so probably wouldn't have the energy for that. As far as I can tell it is somewhat over for me in terms of mainstream, material success. Again, barring large societal change that might indeed come.
Accepting this is difficult. I recognise that I have engaged in a lot of self delusion things might still work out. I might still gain something, some life satisfaction or expression of important spiritual truths or music as an example. But, against the general competition of the world, status in any practical form is unlikely.
For me personally then. The grief needs to in some way be processed despite accountability expressly NOT being able to be accepted. There was nothing I could have done. The acceptance is partly that there was nothing I could do. I was at the mercy of circumstance.
I obviously can't say that these women took the wrong choices. For instance, when I was young I wanted to be a famous musician. Things I have learned about the music industry since have convinced me I would probably have been killed if I had gained success there. Like Phil Ochs. When we look at the world we project out what would have happened but we can never be even remotely accurate in that. Some marriages that seemed to be going well for the first few years have ended horribly.
Ultimately, even though a lot of people have persuasive answers. The fact that life is a giant mystery remains very central to understanding and living it. I am NOT in fact an atheist, so I don't consider a secular world view to be dominant. But I still can't stand arrogance.
