Safeguarding Our Souls #04

So I thought one thing that I would do is I think poetry is really important One of the things about human beings that we are, we're creatures, we're sentient.

That's a word that they use like sentient.

So we have sentience, but we're also sapiential.

Those are two nice big GRE words for you guys.

But sentience is we get sentiment from it.

It's that you feel.

So we're feeling beings.

We have feelings like you hurt my feelings.

Right? So we feel things, but we're also homo sapien.

So we are sapiential, we're rational creatures, we think.

And so this interplay of thinking and feeling is very, very difficult to navigate in life.

People either fall air on one side or the air on the other, but getting that balance.

And that's why men and women are so important because women tend to side more on feeling.

And this is not, there are many women that are just very abstract thinkers and everything like that.

We're talking generally.

But our IQs are very similar.

There's very little difference between men and women.

Women have a higher language aptitudes generally, men have higher spatial reasoning aptitudes.

I mean, these are things that are well studied, but there's always outliers in both groups.

So there's men that are very sensitive, too much sentience.

And then there's women that think too much reason without feeling.

So you have, but we balance each other.

You need both, we compliment each other in that way.

And that's why in that traditional, the yin yang, in the yin they have the yang and in the yang they have the yin.

So it's this idea that they're both there.
