Sometimes I think the male psyche (or the masculine polarity, if you will) prefers boom-and-bust over equanimity. I suspect this is because it uses stress as a mechanism to learn its own limits

This is why the "it's so over / we're so back" sentiment thrives in the wild west of crypto, which due to selection bias is mostly men

good insight, I think the secret for men here is to learn how to purposefully cultivate boom and bust energy in specific areas/contexts of their lives, instead of being artificially manipulated into it by external forces

The small manipulation is watching SNF every week / playing video games. The large manipulation is being sent to war for causes you don't care about (physically or spiritually)
