As usual, I think Phil makes a lot of valid points in this video. A lot of dudes....especially younger men....are confused about which way to go and which route to take when it comes to approaching women because of the mixed signals they're getting in society about what's acceptable and what's not. Personally, I think there are too many "unspoken" rules when it comes to social interactions as well. Men generally aren't as intuitive as women and need more direct cues as to what is wanted from them. Black men used to NEVER have problems attracting women. Maybe a couple did, but the vast majority didn't. Today, I've ran into so many Black "incels" and gay dudes and those who question their own sexuality and where they fit in. We NEVER had that problem when I was coming up.

Good luck to Chicago teams. My Nationals are pathetic.🤣 Hopefully, da Bulls will take care of the phenom & develop him properly. I'm also hoping QB Caleb Williams will bounce back from his hamstring injury & return to his playing form with no setbacks. The Commanders have a similar situation with QB Jayden Daniels. He dislocated his left elbow again. Same injury last season. Hoping he bounces back healthy & playing well. The current clown-in-chief is definitely running a circus & making the USA the laughingstock of the world. POTUS OJ's UN speech was embarrassing. His ban on CNN, Politico & MSNOW was petty. The war with Iran is a debacle. That's just to name a few blunders. While the Democrats do not have any real plans &/or solutions for redeeming the USA, the midterm elections could be a referendum on Americans being fed up with the current administration. MAGA seems to be losing steam & patience with the show they thought was a great idea a couple years ago. Hopefully, the midterm election results will render POTUS OJ a lame-duck & tie his hands over the last 2 years of his reign of stupidity & incompetence. I've noticed the people who normally support POTUS OJ the imbecile are eerily quiet nowadays. Guess it's hard to justify &/or defend the indefensible. That white man will have to tell Black folks what they stand to gain in voting for him. The empty trick or treat bags have holes in them. The benefit cannot solely be orange man bad. All things considered with the state of affairs, you have reached the point in life where nothing else should matter other than enjoying whatever you choose to do with your time. For you...nothing else really matters.😎

Liberty is more formal. It's about Rights. But I don't think we should overstate the difference between Liberty and Freedom. Individuals want Rights - Liberties because they don't want to be constrained. Freedom is about the lack of constraints. And yet their are boundaries, limits, and order. These things prevent harm to self and others. They keep us from imposing on each other in pursuit of the freedoms that Liberties guarantee. I think a deeper discussion might be about the kinds of Liberties and thus Freedoms a political and social order requires. Is noninterference from the government and other people the only thing that matters? What about the ability to choose to act on your thoughts, desires, and prerogatives as an individual. How do societies and the State undermine this pursuit? How are individuals legally and extra legally deprived of choice?

@ProfD It's a wild time to be a Chicago sports fan! Both the Sox and the Cubs are on track to make the major league baseball playoffs! The Bulls have acquired a young basketball phenom named, of all things, Caleb Wilson and fans are looking forward to watching him develop. But - da BEARs have started the season off with a dilemma! I'm so nervous for Caleb Williams! All the pre-season hype may be for naught. Hope his injury won't cause him to lose his mojo! 😟 Plenty going on to distract me from the Trumped states of America. I hate the sight and sound of that tangerine turd who thinks America is his kingdom! If only the Dems can sweep the mid-terms and then come up with a winning candidate for president! A strong, dynamic, capable, white, moderate male who the luke warm approval of black folks will help get elected. 😉 Oh well, Al is still an intriguing passtime for me.
