there's a very male kind of genius which sees the sublime and thinks "i should systematize this for the purpose of exploiting it". men need to learn to appreciate the meaning in chaos and the transcendence of unknowing.

@colonelj well to me it's the infinitude of possibility, the liminality between making and unmaking, and even the meaning in unmeaning

@ren male in the same sense autism has been called "extreme male brain"
so based on the patterns of thought often correlated with observably higher prenatal testosterone exposure
also based on what has historically rewarded men socially which is conquest and subsumption of externalities
and finally in a more universal descriptive metaphysical sense that anyone can possess that's a nod to an essentialist masculinity (the last is perhaps most evocative but to be taken least seriously)
