very honestly coming around to the view that the paradigm of non-toxic, community-driven masculinity we need can be shorthanded by "dudes rock"
It's fun to slag on teenage boys but IMO they're not so much ideologically right-wing as they are desperate for the approval and mentorship of older dudes a lot of the time, and we are letting them down on that score (either by trying to indoctrinate them or not interacting with them at all).

curiosity, perseverence, fellowship, sprawl: it's all there!

Resilience is another big one. Gettin’ back up on that horse, &c. Dude coded, also extremely valuable.

What is this “dudes rock” discussed in the thread? It just produces a mental image of Jack black being silly which I suspect from the description isn’t really all that off, conceptually, but is a very incomplete description

I need to start a thread of what I think are good examples

offering to let your neighbor borrow a weird tool you have when you see they could use it (post digger, blade sharpener, jaw saw). Bonus points if you offer to do it yourself.

Good point. But I’m still gonna go get coffee.
