      Somehow this is less surprising than him being married in the first place.

  I hate this, because the idea comes from Hermetic spirituality, but from a very cherry picked version of it that basically says “Be as shitty a person as you want, give into your natural inclinations and vices”

  I know because I’ve seen this A LOT!

  Because the actual Seventh Principle of Hermeticism does not say to do this, it actually says to balance the masculine and feminine within yourself to acknowledge both as being geniunely within you. It also encourages that the two shouldn’t be seen as opposites but rather two endpoints on a vast spectrum, the same way we see hot and cold.

  But sadly too many “Gurus” somehow warped this into

  “Reject femininity, see it as weakness, and be a massive chauvinistic asshole.”

  When that couldn’t be further from what it’s saying.

    So I watched the entire three hour interview.

    Technically speaking, Zuckerberg emphasizes the need for balance. He on multiple times either emphasizes that both men and women should feel comfortable in corporate environments, and explicitly says something like “there has to be a balance” on at least two occasions.

    The issue is that other parts of the interview don’t really match that idea of balance. Zuckerberg and Rogan spent like a third of the entire interview talking about bro culture stuff. I’m not even talking about “bro culture in the context of corporate America”. Rogan spends like a full ten minutes lecturing Zuckerberg on the proper way to bow hunt.

    Overall I think the media is focusing outrage bait while ignoring the serious implications of the interview. Zuckerberg is clearly lobbying the Trump administration to prevent meta and other US tech companies from being subject to EU regulatory security. It has serious implications both as a consumer and in terms of geopolitics.

      I really wish CEOs would stop and ask “If I wasn’t the CEO, would I want this regulation to exist?”

      But that requires them to have empathy.

      I hate outrage bait, as you pointed out it makes us blind to the REAL danger, which is… Zuckerberg trying to get out of playing by the rules.

    Hah! Imagine all these unregulated supplements causing neurotoxicity, later to be worsened by Trump defunding the FDA.

    source

    • Snapz@lemmy.world ⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      The FDA is too strong of a brand, they won’t defund or eliminate, they’ll just replace entire staff with sycophants and lower standards so that all kinds of snake oil (that administration has a “taste” of) becomes “FDA Approved” so the AI can sell it to incels on twitter and facebook. And ultimately when editing is “FDA APPROVED” then NOTHING is FDA Approved. The next 4 - 20 years are going to continue to be a push to break confidence in American institutions, to make America a weaker and weaker player (and a bigger joke) on the international stage. All so that they have less influence in world affairs (I.e. Ukraine, Israel, etc).

    I would speculate the opposite. I imagine he always believed this shit but was being politically correct (i.e., saying things to appease the public that he didn’t actually believe in)… This is common enough in the tech sector.

    (But if course you could be right. Only people who hang out with him would know.)

  Can anyone who upvoted this explain what’s actually wrong with Zuck’s comment?

  "Masculine energy I think is good, and obviously society has plenty of that, but I think that corporate culture was really trying to get away from it […] It’s like you want feminine energy, you want masculine energy […] I think that that’s all good. But I do think the corporate culture sort of had swung toward being this somewhat more neutered thing,

  • PunnyName@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    It’s nonsense.

    • OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Ok but you can’t explain what’s wrong with the comment?

      It’s easy to get offended and think it’s wrong, but considering my comment is at +1/-6 yet no one has actually explained what’s wrong reinforces my belief it’s actually sensible. Something that’s obvious nonsense can be debunked with no effort, yet here we are

    It’s run-of-the-mill toxic masculinity trying to classify behaviors based on gender and then casually kick femininity to make it subtly clear that only one behavior is acceptable.

  • Quadhammer@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

    Its ironic because theyre trying to project masculinity without doing anything worth a fuck. If zuck wanted respect he would have done something beneficial with his position like a real man.

      There’s two different ways to read the previous poster’s point:

      • That any kind of quotas system (no mater whose “born with certain genetic traits” group it favours) is generally bad and causes more problem that it solves. From what I’ve observed in my one and only time working in a place with such quotas, that’s what I saw, with both very incompetent people from the favored group who clearly only got the job due to quotas and at the same time with competent members of that group having trouble being taken seriously because they were assumed to be incompetent and having only got the position due to having the genetics that made them be a member of said favored group, so in general I would agree that priviledging anybody due to the genetics they were born with is wrong (not to be confused with systems that try and make sure nobody is discriminated against due to the genetics they were born with, systems I totally agree with: basically I disagree with people being given better treatment due their genetics).
      • That women and non-straight men are a problem in that profession. If that’s the take, I not only totally disagree with it but find it apalling and unnacceptable. Again, experience tells me that in IT women and non-straight men are neither less nor more competent than straight men: from what I’ve observed gender and sexual orientation are, as expected, entirelly irrelevant when it comes to professional competent in that domain. You need to have no clue whatsoever about that domain or being an abnormal simpleton to thing gender or sexual orientation is what makes somebody a good professional in any of the various areas of the Industry.

    Depends… Marketing, PR and Social Media Management are pretty high on female/diverse staff anyways,… its more like men feel like women in that industry and maybe that scares them.

    I work engineering and it’s mandatory to completely remove any irrelevant info from the CV (including gender, race…) to screen applicants.

    • Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago

      Having lived and worked in both The Netherlands and Britain, I’ve seen actual American-style quotas systems in Britain that explicitly priviledged a specific gender (rather than what you describe, which is a system mean to remove any and all discrimination), and the result was pretty bad, both because the worst professionals around were from that gender and clearly only got the job due to quotas and at the same time competent professionals that happen to have that gender were not taken as seriously and were kinda second class citizens.

      In fact, that specific place which is the only one I ever worked with and American style quota system was the most sexist place I ever worked in, in my entire career (which spans over 2 decades) - people would not say sexist things, all the while they would definitelly have different competence expectations and even levels of how seriously they took people as professionals depending on people’s gender.

      Interestingly, IT in The Netherlands was way less sexist in a natural way than almost all places I worked in Britain, with almost always more well balanced gender-wise teams and were - at least that I noticed - nobody assuming anything in professional terms based on people’s gender or sexual orientation.

      Frankly one of the things I really missed after I move to Britain from The Netherlands was exactly the “that’s about as relevant as eye color” when it came to people’s gender or sexual orientation in the work place that the Dutch generally show (at least in my area).

    These so called “men” are manchild Americans who see being asked to not even take responsibility for their actions, but simply to recognize the possible consequences of their actions, as being “vilified”. It’s not our fault they’re so weak minded that they crumple under the slightest criticism and flock to the first strongman character who tells them it’s everyone else’s fault their fee fees are hurt.

    An a non-American who lived there for ages, you lot are toxic.
