I poke my head in this thread sparingly, and I was not disappointed in any way upon popping into this one.

I remain curious about how a BPS (I’m assuming this stands for “biopsychosocial”) framework would clarify the relationship between gender identity and biological sex. It’s fun that that term (BPS) popped up in this thread, given that a phrase that popped into my mind this morning is, “a woman is a biopsychosocial phenomenon.” To me, this term is inclusive without being blindly wokist. 

I’m especially interested in this given recent archaeological findings that I have read about, with more and more women being found buried with weapons of both war and the hunt. 

It has me curious if certain roles in society are innately feminine or masculine, or if they are neutral in themselves but can be approached in a distinctly feminine or masculine way. For example, how stay-at-home-dad is to housewife.

That’s all I’ll say for now. Mostly just appreciating the ability to recognise the complexity of these topics and how they’re related.

Also: can confirm UTOK-induced alopecia is a real thing as I make painfully slow progress reading your book, Gregg.

Wish me luck in falling asleep, TOKers!

Rachel: well, maybe not a monastery.  All genders/persuasions are welcome.  Acolytes, maybe? (in the general sense of acolyte)

If people are going virtually bald, is this a virtual monastery? 🤓

Okay okay... seriously, if I hadn't stumbled on Gregg's work I'd probably blithely accept the definitions posted in previous emails as well. Now when I hear people change "mind-body" to "brain-body" using the same definition for each, I get extra wrinkles.

Sorry.

I’ve done that before - and still don’t know how I accomplish it.
Perhaps, I have a hidden fault of being a politician.

The message is a response to Gregg’s comment to Rachel about to tearing out one’s hair as one becomes a ToK devotee:

  • I am now virtually bald.

I received a blank. No message.
