Dr. Martin Hash Podcast

We all live in a delusion fostered by the stories we’re told and the entertainment we consume: we think the good guy wins out and merit begets success, but the stark fact is, almost everyone is a failure at almost everything they do because they are at the mercy of someone. Who & what you end up to be is mostly the result of who pulls your strings: your family, your work, your church, and to a lesser extent, government. We are all subservient to the powers-that-be but men have the advantage of being raised in a Male Dominance Hierarchy, so males know who their betters are, and more importantly, who they are better than; but women and boys who were protected from bullying & failure are psychologically unprepared for subservience, and so take men’s stoicism as smug self-assurance & entitlement, when in reality it’s the quiet desperation of knowing one’s place. Women are under the misimpression that they’re the ones who are subservient but if they knew what that actually entailed, they wouldn’t want to reverse roles.
