I appreciate your reply. And you bring up some good options - similar to where I was doing to go as soon as I got an actually thoughtful response from Mona Lisa here. I agree the media creates illusions rather than shine a light on reality. There are many fulfilling activities that are worth one's time, that are not competitive by nature. And there are ways to express / satisfy any deep subconscious desires, provided a person can find a consenting partner.

That said... there are points where I disagree.

First, there is no such thing as wealth concentrated in the hands of the few. "Wealth" is not a zero sum game. Anyone can create wealth. There is as much money in the world as people want to create. And I am not talking money printing, but accelerating commerce transaction speed.

Second. Telling men as a 50% block of the world to "hit pause on our desire to conquer" will not work. I guarantee you, Kamala Harris has a thirst to conquer new places - specifically the White House. This is not being against Kamala Harris. But part of human nature, is to conquer. Which is a traditionally Masculine trait. Even if some women seek to conquer as well. Unless you are saying that mean should roll over and allow women to conquer for a while...yeah that will not turn out well.

Finally. I don't mind feminists writing many words with many syllables. But I won't be reading the. I am a math guy not English. I don't read James Joyce. I also don't read overly cerebral and complex and lengthy political discourses. My personal preference and right.
