“Women's scars and rituals involved beauty (piercing ears and noses, binding feet, and wearing corsets); men's involved protecting women. In cultures in which physical strength is still the best way to protect women, as among the Dodos in Uganda, each time a man kills a man, he is awarded a ritual scar; the more scars, the more he is considered eligible.” MenWayStillsCultureFeetInvolvedProtectEarsBest WayNosesRitualScarBindingPiercingsCorsetsUgandaPhysical StrengthProtect Women Author:Warren Farrell

“Every modern male has, lying at the bottom of his psyche, a large, primitive being covered with hair down to his feet.

“Slow travel now rivals the fly-to-Barcelona-for-lunch culture. Advocates savour the journey, travelling by train or boat or bicycle, or even on foot, rather than crammed into an airplane.

“And that we cannot go to space with our feet in the mud. Nor can we in fact turn ourselves into an eco-sensitive hallucinogenic-based culture on Earth unless we fuse these dichotomous opposites. It is only in a coincidencia oppositorum, a union of opposites, that does not strive for closure, that we are going to find cultural sanity. And this is the thing that the entheogens, the hallucinogens, deliver with such clarity and regularity. They raise paradox to a level of intensity that no one can evade.” DoeFactsEarthTurnsCultureSpaceLevelsFeetOppositesRaisesUnionsStriveClaritySensitiveParadoxIntensitySanityMudClosureEcoRegularityFuseHallucinogens Author:Terence McKenna
