![]() ![]() I’ve written essays about this since 2014. It is always a mistake to explain the game of intersexual dynamics to women. One thing I was reminded of in my 3 hours and 10 minutes with Jedidiah was the importance of never revealing the Game to women. An unflattering collective truth about women’s nature is an attack on the individual woman’s ego. Any woman can speak for all women because solipsism is baked into their psyches. ![]() Women will always presume their experience is the universal one. After 20 years in the sphere, the rationales and cope never change. Jed blanketed me with “Not all women are like that” (NAWALT) responses to every assertion I made. Going on Jedidiah’s show and then playing ‘gotcha!’ with Ruslan for two hours on Adam Sosnick’s show reminded me why I don’t bother with disingenuous critics. People wonder why I don’t do “debates” with every new influencer who wants to make a name for themselves by challenging my character – rarely my work – and then proceed to talk over and past me at every uncomfortable point I make. ![]() I’ve been collecting my thoughts about my recent talk with Jedidiah Bila and a few topics of discussion stood out in this show. ![]()

That book was called Willy and His Wheel Wagon. So I put an idea for a book together and right away a publisher bought it. My mind immediately recalled how much I enjoyed doing that type of thing when I was a child. While doing that show, some of the children asked me if I had ever thought of doing children's books.
