ON PREDATORS

The Predator’s world works on very simple principles; it’s easier to destroy than to
build, easier to eat than to cook; to take over than to produce. The predator doesn’t
need to engage with nature, a necessary complex dialogue that any productive work
requires.

Like the Chess player Nabokov, he focuses on a simplified world and makes an
abstraction of everything else. However, the predator can only be effective if he
possesses certain qualities:

- Awareness to spot a prey.

- Speed to beat competition.
- His charm and energy are only masks to his lack of depth.

To take, the predator doesn’t need to understand.

The only thing that he needs is to profit from opportunities; that is enough for him to
feel superior and smarter than wiser people that didn’t care enough to notice his
plans. The paramount of violence that allows a redistribution of resources is war. The
real war we are witnessing is not communism vs capitalism; it’s the Entrepreneurs
(creators) vs the Predators (parasites).
 TAKING CONTROL OF A POOR COUNTRY

Consider a country that has rare natural resources (oil, diamonds, ores, forests etc.)
but whose population is poor.

Suppose the languages are diverse, that the state is of recent creation, so that
solidarities are woven within the tribes or ethnicity more than at the national level
and that political parties are first the expression of the peculiarities and ethnic
rivalries.

Suppose, moreover, that in a rich country the state, a large company or a powerful
foreigner seeks to control natural resources of the said country; that is to say, to
reserve access to it and to control the price.

The first step would be to help the leader of the weakest political party (critical) to
take power. By providing him with weapons, advisers, money, he will be allowed to
succeed a coup détat or rigging the elections.

The only way for him to be able to retain power is to exert maximum violence
towards the majority. In exchange for military support (which is indispensable to him)
he will yield to his control of natural resources.

The majority will be called ‘rebels.’ The ‘law enforcement’ operations will be
mounted with men and children of the minority ethnic group, armed, trained and
supervised by soldiers made available by the godfather.

The villages of the ethnic majority will be destroyed, men killed or maimed (one
hand, foot etc.), women and girls raped.

It would be ineffective to support the political leader of the ethnic majority: as he

does not need external support or repression to win the elections and keep the
power, nothing would force to give up control of natural resources in exchange for
protection.
Make sure to keep your puppet and his goons fed at minimum level, just enough for
him to show off his power. Also make sure he stays in line. If he ever tries to step
back from power, tries to do something you didn’t ordering him to do, or just makes
too much noise with his horrors (could impact your public image which is
unacceptable): Pay his goons to kill him and make one of them the new leader.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

SOCIAL INFLUENCE LESSON: MAKING HUMANS COMMIT TO YOUR DECISIONS

Imposing your will on people is not always a matter of coercive power. Your best
shot is to make your subjects commit to a decision they believe to be their own.
Persuasion is about getting it done. We are constantly confronted with the desire, if
not the need, to convince and to persuade. If politics is made only of persuasion,
everyone is confronted, from time to time, with the need to persuade.

Raising a child, applying for a job or finding accommodation requires this ability.
However, winning membership is not self-evident. It is a complex exercise that
requires skill and tact, since what persuasion is is not always what you think. As you
already know, people stick to the decisions they think they made themselves. The
escalation of commitment is a principle of auto manipulation inducing a phenomenon
of rationalizing decisions, under the condition that it was willingly taken or so they
think…

Once your subject makes a decision, he will never question it, even if the result does
not yield to a satisfying result. Better: You don’t need to legitimize or to rationalize
the situation, only to preserve the initial decision.

This technique is widely used (and abused).

Imagine the following situations:

Let’s say some company made you an offer to participate in a free game where the
prize is to win a sumptuous journey. Just before the final round of potential winners,
you are asked to buy a good or a service… More than 80% of participants would give
in. You might think that you are immune to such techniques, but in reality, chances
are you would give in too. Later, you’re told that the journey has been canceled, but
you won a magnificent home decoration. All you can do by then is to convince
yourself that despite everything, it’s a nice gift anyway. You just got harpooned.
In terms of social influence, escalation of commitment is one of the most powerful
tools. It is because it plays on the assumed resignation, and the coherence between
the initial choice, and decisional intelligence.

No one wants to believe himself to be a victim of manipulation; your subject will

most often rationalize what happened. He will comfort himself with the idea that
what he obtained, even if it’s far from the original promise, is still a benefit.

It’s a process that works on the narcissistic part inside of every human being. The
escalation of commitment is also possible due to the impossibility of making a
decision against the initial choice. From there, the situation becomes stressful and
complex, even if the subject is perfectly aware of what is happening. The human
brain is a lazy motherfucker; it will always seek the easiest path. The human coward
self, will always win it wars against objectivity.
 AN EXPERIENCE OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A DOMINANCE HIERARCHY IN
RATS

Read, Understand, Extrapolate

An experiment was performed on rats. To study their aptitude to swim, a researcher
of the Laboratory of Behavioral Biology of the faculty of Nancy, Didier Desor,
gathered six in a cage whose single issue ended on a swimming pool which they had
to cross to reach a food distributor.

It was quickly found that the six rats were not going for food by swimming together.
Roles appeared that they had thus distributed: two exploited swimmers, two non-
swimmers exploiters, an independent swimmer and a non-swimmer painkiller.

The two exploited went for food by swimming underwater. When they came back to
the cage, the two exploiters hit them and threw their heads under the water until
they dropped the food.

It was only after feeding the two exploiters that the two exploited subjects could
afford to consume their own kibble. The exploiters never swam; they just beat the
swimmers to be fed.

The autonomous was a swimmer strong enough to bring back his food and pass the
exploiters to feed on his own toil. The scapegoat, finally, was unable to swim and
unable to scare the exploited, so he was picking up the crumbs that fell in battle.

The same structure-two exploited, two exploiters, an autonomous and a painkiller-

was found in the twenty cages where the experiment was renewed.

To better understand this mechanism of hierarchy, Didier Desor placed six exploiters
together. They fought all night. In the morning, they had recreated the same roles.
Two exploiters, two exploited, one suffering pain, one autonomous.
And we still got the same results by bringing together six exploited in the same cage,
six autonomous, or six suffering pain.

Then the experiment was reproduced with a larger cage containing two hundred
individuals. They fought all night, the next day there were three crucified rats whose
others had torn off the skin.

WHY WOMEN RESPOND TO MEN’S BEHAVIOUR THE WAY THEY DO: MY
VIEWS ON POSITIVE and NEGATIVE EMOTIONS

When men first approach, negative emotions are triggered in a woman. These
emotions happen one after the other without control, sometimes all at once. Here
are the most relevant emotions and what they do:

1. Caution: Your approach puts her on high alert. You’re the unknown, she needs to
assess you. The more intimidating you look, the higher her cautiousness remains.
Smiling reduces this. Harmless looking men will not trigger this emotion, and that’s
not a good thing.

2. Risk Assessment: She analyses whether you’re a predator, psychopath or

dangerous. The men who don’t appear “rough” or capable to stand up for themselves
will score 0 here. That’s not good. Neither is Scoring 10/10. Attraction largely
depends on her risk assessment.

3. Fear: This emotion depends on her risk assessment of you. If you’re high risk, then
her fear will be high. This isn’t good. Neither is being “soy.” It will instigate NO fear in
her. Her fear should derive from him having the capacity to wreak havoc, but
choosing not to.

4. Bored: If you manifest signs of boring behaviour (comfort zone type of guy) and
she merely envisions the prospect of it, she’ll be instantly turned off. The higher your
risk score, the lower you’ll score on boring. Boring here is roughly the antonym to
Fear.

5. Reclusive: The second you come across awkward, she’ll identify your low status
position within the social hierarchy and repel from you. Some men voluntarily initiate
awkwardness to fill it with pos/ emotions which invokes mixed emotions. Not the
same thing.

6. Reserved: This is worth a mention. The higher you score on the risk assessment,
the less she will be reserved. This is because risk, in the PRESENCE of positive
emotions, makes her “let go” and “misbehave.” For her, if there’s no risk, there’s
likely no return.

7. After the initial trigger of negative emotions, you have a VERY small window to
invoke positive emotions in her. Those who have the best game, frame, looks can
trigger positive emotions almost instantly.

8. Positive emotions here range from curiosity, excitement, desire, euphoria,

attraction. Women lose interest in men when she gets positive emotions in the
ABSENCE of negative emotions. You become a box of tyramine-fuelled chocolates.
Once she’s full, you’re done.

9. The more you compliment, comfort, joke with her, the higher her pos/emotions.
This CAN lower neg/emotions. And it will work against you. This is why teasing, is
attractive to her. It’s a mix of both emotions.

10. Negative emotions MUST remain elevated, yet relatively lower to positive
emotions for attraction to take place and last. The most ideal men are those who
provide for her in the form of security, desire, care yet trigger uncertainties of risk
and mild fear i.e. Dominance.

11. The most ideal men are NOT those who are dangerous for the sake of danger, or
to inflict damage. It’s those who can confront chaos with the intention of putting it in
order. They pursue power and chaos to grow. ‘Boring’ is the antonym here.
 TUNED PSYCHOPATHIC: TRAITS EVERY MAN SHOULD HAVE

Don’t be:
 Selfless, be selfish to provide.
 Empa/Sympathetic, but be compassionate instead.
 Remorseful, but learn your lesson instead.
 Harmless, but learn to weaponise the dark triad against other men if
NECESSARY.

1. I don’t like how morality demands me to comply with its established codes and
values irrespective whether doing so at a particular time and place would be good for
me personally.

2. I don’t like how morality applies itself equally on everyone even when at a
particular time and place; it conflicts with what would otherwise be beneficial for me.

3. I don’t like how by imposing itself equally on everyone, it prevents those to pursue
power to provide and rightfully express who they are.

4. I don’t like how complying with morality confines me to the masses, preventing my
transcendence to a higher excellence.

5. I’m not here to abide to what the saints wrote down as rules out of fear. I’m here
to provide value by pursuing power, having the full confidence in god and nature to
punish me in the form of consequences for deviating off a path that’s human-rearing.

6. Be faithful to the earth. If you need a moral compass, pick values that are life-
furthering, human-rearing and transcending.

Have no doubt that nature disallows your preference to pursue vices as values.

Natural Selection is the religion that was lost and forgotten.

 HOW MEN SHOULD CONDUCT THEMSELVES AROUND WOMEN

1. Do not swear in-front of her.

2. Do not put her down in-front of others.
3. If sex is the objective, you’re exploiting her.
4. Do not gossip about others with her.
5. Do not use your strengths or her weaknesses against her. Ever.
6. Don’t offer to fix her problems. Offer only after she has failed to do so on her
own.
7. Do not show any sign of neediness.
8. Do not slap or touch her in inappropriate areas in public. Respectful men do
not do this.
9. If you want to exhibit dominance, you have to provide more than her.
10. Do not disrespect anyone at her request, especially your family. She shouldn’t
imply you to.
11. If you don’t have any standards, she won’t uphold you to any.
12. If your standards confine her into a state of a prisoner, you have no standards.
13. Be competent, it makes you a leader. Women innately seek out leaders.
14. Respect your woman the way you wouldn’t want anyone disrespecting your
mother.
15. Do not check women out. Maintain eye contact.
16. If she says ‘no’, respect it, maintain your standards and move.
17. Do not engage in any sexual or inappropriate talks with her when around other
people.
18. You get along best with women when you don’t need them.
19. Treat her submission to you as strength, not weakness.
20. Do not show anger towards her, remain silent instead.
21. She would much rather be an improvement to your life, than a necessity.
22. If you want her to perceive you as dominant, dominate yourself. Not her.
23. Before you blame her, investigate your involvement.
24. Indiscriminate manners are a reflection of your character and future respect
for her.
25. Don’t use filler words with her. Be articulate and concise.
26. She can detect your desperation the second you say hi.
27. ‘A man that cannot govern himself will fail at governing a woman.’
28. Set your boundaries with women. Borderless tolerance is submission.
29. Do not inflate your worth to impress her.
30. Do not seek a woman’s attention to impress. Men don’t seek attention,
period.
31. If she says no to a date, do not ask her again.
32. Do not hit on a drunk woman.
33. Do not pursue women at the cost of your integrity.
34. Do not disagree with her in public, ever. Remain united as one and
demonstrate the strength of your family, not weakness.
35. Don’t break your standards for women. Let women break their standards for
you.
36. She will only respect you if you give her what she needs, not what she wants.
37. Don’t control her. Conduct yourself in a manner that makes her want what you
want.
38. Do not extend your personal problems in the form of misery, on to her.
 MY INTERPRETATION OF WILL TO POWER – ARTICULATED FROM BEYOND GOOD
and EVIL AND THUS SPAKE ZARATHUSTRA, BY NIETZSCHE

 Nietzsche believed Will to power requires one to have self-determination. Self-

determination is made up of self-control and self-legislation, exempt from
established values and moralities, where one’s own value creation leads to
transcendence.
 To have self-control, one must deny all instant gratifications pursued by erratic
internal drives that one possesses inside their soul. In order to deny, one must
have a long will, a purpose worth living over and over in eternal return. Thus,
Self-control requires a long will.
 To self-legislate; one must apply laws and regulations to their one single
coherent ‘long will’ to explicitly structure a path in obtaining it and so
obstacles become visibly clear to strategize over and defeat. Self-legislation
requires self-control which requires a long will.
 One must leverage value. Leverage allows all to become a means to an end on
the condition that the means remain human-rearing. One must leverage their
value creation and leverage subjective values of others for positional
advantage that supports ones long will.
 One must challenge compliance of established moralities and values. For one
to reach excellence, one must become exempt from values adhered by the
masses. Ones faith shall remain loyal to earth. Thus discovering values through
self-determination is loyalty to God in of itself.
 The duty of one, who has attained their long will, is to provide for society.
Upon succession of will to power, one has a newfound existential obligation to
give back to mankind. Societal improvement becomes a testament of their
purpose.

You can’t just “BE” dominant. You need to extract its value for what it stands for and
provide it to society.
 - Acquire responsibility
- Be dependable
- Be competent

Your chosen subjective value (dominance) is a delusion until its value is objectively
validated by society.

This is a fundamental Nietzschean concept. No matter what virtue you uphold, be it

respect, dominance, honesty etc, it’s subjective.

Without objective validation, i.e. without society and earth validating the value you
extracted from it, you are delusional over your virtues.
 HOW DO YOU DEVELOP SELF RESPECT?
Develop values and live by them

Here are some of mine:

1. Food is sacred and will not be disposed of.
2. Do not sleep around with women for the sake of keeping score.
3. Do not seek freebies. Earn everything you want to get.
4. Always do the right thing by the right people. And prepare to do the wrong thing by
the wrong people.
5. Never humiliate someone in public if you can achieve the same results in private
6. Do not use foul language in public or in front of women.
7. Act out what you say. Otherwise don’t say it.
8. Earn peoples respect, do not expect it.
9. Do not ask for favors. Exchange one thing for another.
10. Only be necessarily expedient when trying to achieve a virtuous goal.
11. Do what 99% of the people wouldn’t do, to be part of the 1%
12. Be grateful. Never be content
13. Don’t ever talk badly behind people’s back, including your enemies.
14. Be ambitious, but do not be greedy.
15. Be cutthroat to the ruthless, but kind to those in need.
16. Do not be emotional on anything that monetizes. That includes your 9-5
17. Do not settle for less. And remind those who deserve more than they have settled
for.
18. Never let an opportunity compromise your loyalty.
19. Submerge your ego to see another’s perspective.
20. Have the capacity to be evil, so you can face evil.
21. Choose to engage in honest conflict over dishonest harmony.
22. Risk not being liked in pursuit of the truth.
23. Do not manipulate the world to force it to deliver you goods for status.
24. Self-inadequacies is protected by ego and exposed by others.
25. If you want power, you’ll have to kneel down to pick it up.
26. Do not make money at the expense of other people’s well-being.
27. Your intentions to obtain power should be growth, not greed.
28. Earn respect by providing value without expecting anything in return.
29. What you deserve and what you get is never in balance. Don’t be resentful.
30. If you don’t behave and act in manner that represents your values, someone will
place a value less than what they’re worth.
31. Acknowledge your probable capacity for corruption if you choose to pursue power.
32. Don’t use your past as an excuse to justify your lack of ability.
33. First explicitly understand, before seeking to be understood.
34. Only invest in people’s perception of you to adjust your self-inadequacies.
35. Arrogance talks. Confidence Shows.
36. Do not be disciplined without a goal.
37. Demanding rights imposes responsibility on someone else. Earn your rights instead.
38. Skills get you through the door. Character keeps you in the room.
39. When you’re angry, be silent.
40. Keep it private, until you know it’s permanent.
41. Don’t talk about anyone’s business, without their presence.
42. Be concerned with outcome. Not intent.
43. Seek Honesty, not morality. Morality is cowardice.
44. Think as if you want to kill a part of yourself that you despise.
45. Fortune favors those who voluntarily seek suffering.
46. Still waters run deep.
47. The pathway to freedom is self-imposed slavery.
48. Become a force of truth born to pursue human-rearing values.
49. Freedom is on the other side of self-imposed slavery.
 The Short Maxims

Pick 1-2 things to do today, for the sole purpose of making tomorrow better. Then
repeat. When you become good at this, do things that accommodate benefits further
into the future i.e. a week from now, a month, year etc.

Do this and you will eventually stumble across your purpose.

______________________________________________________________________
The only man capable of resisting a beautiful woman, a male’s weakest biological
urge, is a man who pursues power.
Nothing fazes him.

He pays no attention. Attention pays him.

He seeks no women. Women seek him.
He is the archetype worthy of life.
Be this man.

______________________________________________________________________

There are certain men who are very hard on themselves in maintaining high
standards. Naturally, this extends over to what they demand in women.

Women interpret this as misogynistic.

But it’s these types of men, women should go for. The rest are of no value.

______________________________________________________________________

There are 2 types of men:

Polygamy:
He looks back at his kids who are all half-siblings derived from different mothers,
guided by different values, affected by several grandparents, diluted blood, no
concept of family, for he’d be lucky to see his last name reach next generation.
Monogamy:

He looks back at his pure blood nuclear family, raised by a set of values derived from
the undiluted origins of a passed down heritage, with each member of the family
capable of running his legacy for generations to come.

Decide Carefully.

______________________________________________________________________

The higher you move up in any hierarchy, the more rules you can break.
And at the apex, rules aren’t broken. They are made.
“Many women prefer the bad boys who will use them, abuse them and toss them
aside like dirt while eschewing the well intentioned nurturing white knight.”

There’s truth to this. But the underlying reasons are deeper from a bio/emotional
standpoint.

Attraction works when a woman’s negative emotions are slightly more elevated than
her positive emotions, yet both must be simultaneously stimulated.

The choices “bad boys” make, and how they conduct themselves, radiates unfazed
carefree attitude, dominance, outcome independence, no neediness whatsoever and
determination.

These behaviors stimulate negative emotions in women:

- Mild fear and anxiety,

- Insecurity
- Uncertainty
- Curiosity
along with positive emotions of excitement, hope and desire.

The mixed emotions a woman feels from the ‘bad boy’, is far more powerful than the
isolated positive emotions she feels from the white knight or ‘nice guy.’ This is
because negative emotions are strongly tied to a woman’s survival instincts.

On a biological level, she knows that the ‘bad boy’ will do a better job at protecting
her, overcoming adversity and getting what he wants out of life, extending this
elevated state of living on to her (and potentially, her children).

Women run into problems because ‘bad boys’ have a host of bad behaviors (selfish,
abusive, sex-oriented, careless, narcissistic) that accommodates the attractive traits.

They are in essence low value men being perceived as high value.
But despite these problems their perceived qualities remain more valuable to women
than the nice guy who manifests isolated overwhelming positive emotions (i.e.
boring), no life-furthering qualities and thus is likely to be a victim of misery.

The question isn’t WHY women pick ‘bad boys.’

It’s the right life-furthering choice.

When left culturally/parentally/religiously unconditioned, women will pick these

types of men DESPITE the resounding risk and the potential cost to their dignity.

No woman in her right mind wants to get used, objectified and tossed aside.

Their (mixed) emotion simply clouds their judgment to assess risk accurately.

And the white knight presenting in front of her is a life-limiting choice, making bad
boys look even more so desirable.

The worst thing a man can do is hold this emotional response against them like the
‘manosphere’ does, taking advantage of this innate emotional weakness. Men should
instead develop to become what women innately desire.

- Pursue power, become competent and disagreeable.

- Be self-determined and self-legislate towards a purpose far greater than
women.

Doing this will force you to behave in a way that ignites mixed emotions. It will be
involuntary, real and authentic.
 IMAGINE NOT BEING ALONE!

Imagine all these urges you partake against your will are not 'you'.

Imagine the 7 deadly sins as a representation of your 7 multiple identities, desperate

to derail you from your life.

Now imagine an 8th archetype!

I see Lust destroying men's lives. I see it feeding off a lack of self-control, enslaving
them to sex, forcing them to cave in to their weak biological urge.

I see no standards. Just Lust establishing the hook-up culture of sex and broken
values.

I see Gluttony revel in society. Over-indulging in consumption for a desperate show to

flaunt itself as the status symbol.

I can see it thriving on wanting more than it needs, transforming men to what they
have, not who they are.

I see Greed destroying growth. I see it enslaving men to take and not provide. I see it
interfering with men’s generosity and selflessness.

It despises life-furthering values, as it desires individual gratification.

Men are not about gratifications.

I see Pride raised by Lust and Greed, deceiving men into false superiority at the
expense of themselves, making them despise humility and it’s nurturer; the pursuit of
knowledge.

I see Pride deceiving men to believe their knowledge to be complete.

The identity I hate most; I see Sloth forcing men to seek comfort and instant
gratifications to the extent of wretched living.

I see it deceiving men to demand rights and dismiss responsibilities.

Death is more desirable.

I see Envy turn men resentful, thriving on their incompetence led by Sloth.

I see it come alive when men self-inflict contempt upon themselves and as a result,
sabotage others who are better off.

I see Wrath take control of men at their lowest point, when Sloth and Envy have led
them to a new wretched existence.

To Wrath, life is unfair, with everyone an enemy, and the only way to avenge is
destruction.

The 8th;

A tyrannical force, imposing men on a pathway to self-legislate and seek;

- Integrity, not lust

- Sacrifice, not gluttony
- Growth, not greed
- Competence, not envy
- Humility, not pride
- Power, not sloth
- Transcendence, not wrath

Inspired by Freud, this is my theory on why we regretfully act out urges against our
will. I strongly believe it to be true despite the level of insanity. I simply don’t believe
we are alone on an individual level. We either self-legislate the 8th, or dance with our
7 demons.
If this delusional belief helps me excel and govern my identities, then the truth for me
is no longer relevant.

I will honor my delusion as my newfound guidance.

The 8th is the Unmodern archetype.

I'm carving it out.

“Why are you so virtuous in regards to women?”

I’m not.

I’ve just figured out what I want out of life, a nuclear family with children smarter,
stronger and better than me. In order to obtain that, I have to envision what it is like
to be a husband and father,

- What kind of woman I want to raise my kids with.

- How I want my daughter to be treated by boys.
- What kind of son I want to raise.

Envisioning this, reveals to me the choices I make now will affect my ideal future.

And so I put myself in restraint in how I conduct myself today. So I can give my future
self the best chance to obtain that desire.

It’s not about women or being virtuous to them. It’s about me and achieving my aim
for a family. What I want just so happens to be virtuous.
If you're going through a rough time:

Pinpoint the cause, and then write it down.

Then write down 3 'things' that could make the cause slightly better tomorrow.

Then do them.

Then repeat.

Piece by piece, you will reduce the impact of the cause into insignificance.

If you're going through a rough time and you cannot pinpoint the cause, then all you
need is exposure to positive emotions.

Write 3 things down that could make your life better tomorrow.

Make this an addiction.

Day by day, elevate your state.

Do not do drugs.

I don't care if they're noortropics, psychedelics or anxiolytics.

I helped recovering drug addicts for years. It didn't matter what they used to recover;
suboxone, subutex, methadone; the ones that recovered were those who exposed
themselves to positive emotions. Find your exposure to positive emotions on a long
time frame. Find your purpose. If you don't have one, aim for power; become
competent in something. Start in your home; elevate your state of living day by day,
until you can do it week by week, and then month to month.

Once you find what you're good at by repeatedly improving your day to day living:
make it your bitch. Become exceptional at it.

Then leverage it for a job interview. Work for free (that's what I did) and show your
excellence.
 CAREER ADVICE FOR AN 18 YEAR OLD

Study your personality. Understand yourself and your temperament. Examine your
strengths and weaknesses.

Pick a pathway according to your strengths; either working for someone or starting
your own business.

The more you study yourself, the less you have to rely on other people’s career
advice. Be realistic. Not everyone is set out for entrepreneurship. Not everyone is
managerial either. “You can’t get rich working for someone else” is nonsense. Yes you
can. It’s called promotion.

Your competence determines your reward. Yes it’s time consuming, but so is
entrepreneurship. So pick the one that aligns best with who you are.

Don’t waste your life trying to be an entrepreneur when you’re not meant for it.

I’m not creative. So i picked corporate management. I dominated my field and now I
don’t have to work.

I’m orderly, industrious and closed minded.

Say your percentile of:

1. Duty 90%
2. IQ 80%
3. Creativity 85%
And the chance of your “idea” to succeed is 50%.
These are EXTREME generous assumptions. Your chance of success is 30%.
Entrepreneurship is media-glorified.

Creativity is not for everyone. Not to mention it’s a cursed pathway of extreme
struggle and financial difficulty. Those who come out on top use their strength in
their traits to exploit their chosen pathway.
Do NOT look at what others do on social media.

And lastly, whatever your personality trait, get into sales as soon as possible as your
side job.

Nothing teaches you more about people better than sales. Money keeps everyone
honest. Lessons taught honestly are priceless.
 TRAITS OF CEO'S MEN SHOULD ADOPT

- Direct
- Small talk is non-existent
- Realistic
- Disagreeable
- Minimal emotions
- Harsh but fair
- Purpose greater than himself
- Takes risks
- Selectively pays attention
Direct
Be clear and articulate. State your intentions clearly, and pursue truth in sentences.

Break them down and address each conversed point separately.

Small Talk
Men don't do small talk. Don't talk about the weather, your dog, your morning
coffee. Be extremely intentional with your sentences.

The CEO I work for was terrifyingly concise.

Realistic

"It’s about mindset"

"Be positive"

"Don't think negative"

"Have a growth mindset"
These are all rubbish. Every situation is about risk, assessment and execution.

I doubt myself IN EVERYTHING. I'm ALWAYS uncertain.

And I still act without hesitance.

Disagreeable
Emotions are signals. Treat them as such. Every act, desire, urge brings out emotions,
positive and negative.
Separate your conviction (which arouses emotions) from reason.

Harsh But Fair

Call it like you see it. Doesn’t sugarcoat anything. Face the consequences of speaking
the undecorated truth.

Purpose

Find the purpose that's greater than you or women. Pursue something that gives you
the fright, hope, anxiety, joy and excitement.

Risk

No risk no return.

If you want to live average, take no risk.

Attention
The significance of your surrounding is inversely correlated to your purpose.

The more devoted to your purpose, the less you worry about your surroundings.

Become devoted.
My early followers are asking why I don’t tweet about drugs, health or money
anymore

I’m 29. I’ve been a pharmacist for about 8 years. I work corporate as a general
manager for a hospital chain.

I came here to provide value and what I realized was that it wasn’t money, or health
that was in need.

It was character and integrity.

And so I decided to focus on what I believe would provide most amount of value to
the most amount of people.

Know that your character is defined by your standards that you don’t break.

Your unbroken standard are what make up your integrity. And you reflect what you
pursue.

Without integrity, money and health is nothing.

“But society is on the decline”

I couldn’t care less if it all came to an end tomorrow.

It’s disgraceful to use the excuse of a fatalistic outlook as an allowance to behave in

degenerate ways.

You’re making things INFINITELY worse.

Behave in accordance to what you can control.

Write down 4 things that you value in life by order of rank. Here are 2 of mine you
can adopt:

1. Power
2. Family

So how do you behave?

Behave according to the order of rank.

1. Power
Most people think power as some corrupt pathological obsession.

I talk about competence when I speak of power. Become exceptional in a narrow field
to obliterate dependence, to provide for others.

Pick your competence according to your traits.

Find your strength in your temperament, and exploit them by picking a

career/business that aligns with your traits and become exceptional at what you do.

Don’t be average. Don’t be normal.

Disrupt equality.

2. Family

What is my IDEAL family? Ideal to me is pursuing a smart, honest woman with

integrity and class.

So I can establish a family based on power and integrity.

So when I discipline my child, she stands to support me.

So when I’m facing adversity, she softens the blow.

This desired ideal family comes with conditions. CONDITIONS i must adhere to.

I cannot go around sleeping with cheap women.

I’m certainly not going to at the cost of my standards.
My aim is to attract women of high value. Not repulse them with my behavior.

You have to orient yourself to what these values demand in order to attain them.
Sacrifice. Act accordingly.
Pick values that are life furthering.
Not self gratifying.
Some of you know how influential Nietzsche has been on me.

He became my religion when I was 5. Most of his work interpreted to me by my dad.

Nietzsche’s work on revaluation of values has had a significant impact on me, which
has led me to orient myself the way I am.

I’ve given this ‘hierarchical value guidance’ to drug addicts in rehab changing their
lives tremendously.

I can tweet on drugs/health/money, but I believe what’s needed is a change in values.

And to do that, character needs to be developed.

The value I provide is developing the #the8th

 HERE’S SOME UNCONVENTIONAL ADVICE FROM A CHEMIST

The menstrual cycle:

Day 1-7: Period.
Day 8-12: In Comfort.
Day 12-18: High arousal and chance of pregnancy (ovulating).

Day 20-28: Uncomfortable. Stressed due to cortisol. Preparing for period.

Day 12-18: is when she’s aroused and prone to seduction through mixed emotions.
Day 20-28: is when she needs comforting via positive emotions more than
negative.

Learn the cycles so you can accurately respond to her moods.

Day 20-28: is when she’s most dramatic.

Cortisol increases stress and mood swings. Women respond to this by venting out the
emotions.

Attraction and seduction is the least priority in this phase.

Instead, they are emotionally searching for comfort.

Men should respond to this as if to calm a child, with positive emotions.

DO NOT engage in the drama. Responding to the drama confirms that “comfort” is
not nearby, and everything is in fact unstable and this justifies her mood.

Women, your attraction to dominant masculine men is largely controlled by your

hormones; estrogen and progesterone.

Your hormones are regulated by your menstrual cycle.

Taking hormonal pills, injections and IUD's WILL alter what you truly find attractive in
men. Women in general, on birth control pill have a higher preference for less
masculine and dominant men.
They prefer round jawless faces, prefer more fat than muscle.

The pill manipulates what you find attractive.

So who you find attractive when on the pill can take a big turn to how unattractive
they are when you get off the pill.

This is ASIDE from the possible side effects you could get from it.

Stay natural.

I think that's about it.

“If she crosses the line, there needs to be serious consequences”

No.

The significance and severity of the line crossed, ascertains the magnitude of what
the consequences are.

You’re not running a dictatorship here for Christ sake.

Be reasonable.

You wouldn’t govern children in the same iron fist.

You set your standards, and if a child misbehaves you need to investigate the severity
within the context of the situation then act accordingly.

When it comes to rewarding and punishing behavior, children and women behave
the same way towards dominant men.

You don’t just REPLACE your child when he crosses the line.

You reason.
“Why do women say one thing to men but act completely in contradiction to what
they say?”

In general, women think rationally towards negative emotions, but act emotionally
towards it.

A nice guy, who does everything for her, arouses isolated positive emotions.

Her default rational response is “this is what i want.”

Her emotions will act out opposite to that response. Because isolated positive
emotions repel women. A dominant guy, who does things for him, arouses mixed
emotions. Her default rational response is: “Stay away.”

But she acts out emotionally opposite, because she is geared towards negative
emotions.

This is where the paradox occurs:

Women will rationally speak against negative emotions while emotionally acting
towards it. This also explains that if a woman is to reject both men verbally: to a nice
guy, ‘no’ really means ‘no.’

And to a dominant guy, ‘no’ really means ‘escalate further.’

Women THRIVE on negative emotions on every aspect; through exposure, arousal,

living and breathing it.

And when they do, what they say misaligns with what they act out.
 Here’s a CEOs advice

If you work for a firm, corporate or a retail store:

1. Get a copy of your job description.

2. Go through each line and pinpoint which job yields maximum amount of profit
to the business.
3. Go home and study that particular job inside out.

You have infinite resources at your disposal to look up what that particular job
description entails, in order for you to become exceptional.

Find specific knowledge and become a teacher of that particular job.

This will do several things:

You:

- Become Competent and Efficient

- Become Valuable to the business
- Can leverage your position
- Can impose your will
- Earn respect
- Get looked after by the business
- Perceive to become indispensable
1. Pick the job description that brings most amount of profit.
2. Become exceptional.
3. Leverage it.

Ask me anything regarding this.

 If you DM an account for advice, thank them for taking the time to respond;
it’s baseline courtesy

And accounts who get no response after answering a question from a follower, you're
not doing it for them you're doing it for you. I’ll explain.

When someone throws a question at you in regards to what you deemed to be

competent at, it’s an opportunity for you to exercise your critical thinking.

Critical thinking does NOT discriminate. Any question you think about thoroughly
then answer, exercises critical thinking.

Critical thinking is paramount to understanding problems, formulating solutions and

articulating opinions.

Exercising critical thinking inevitably spills over to other parts of your life.

You will begin to approach matters with clarity.

It’s never a waste of time to think about any question within your domain, critically.

Forget disrespect.

Take the question as a challenge to seriously articulate a powerful response.

The notion that women should be nothing but housewives and submit to men is
predicated on the implicit presumption that a fit and capable man will be available
to uphold her burden.

This is an element of faith that’s completely misaligned with reality.

Any man with a sister or daughter can envision the concern that a woman
unequipped to stand her own ground, will potentially be at the mercy of an unfit
man.

To strive for independence is not feminism.

It means to adopt masculine traits.

And this may be unattractive, but it’s an absolute necessity for self-preservation.

Every woman should strive for independence and stave off from being at the mercy
of men. But then upon finding a man, she should abide to him if he is just and rightful
to abide by, because that’s the dynamic that maintains long term attraction.
 I learned a lot from treating methadone addicts

I learned that if I took the time to explicitly make sense of their belief system and
value selection, I was able to see why addicts derail their life so viciously over a
substance. It wasn’t because they were weak or that they were from violent families.
It was because they unknowingly chose to walk towards hell, one step at a time.

We are one decision away from derailing ourselves, if we don’t explicitly pursue life
furthering values.

You will one way or another, pay for the life-negating values you pursue.

It’s just a matter of acknowledging it as your fine to pay rather than shifting blame on
someone else. At the core of our existence, we are meant to work for life-furthering
values.

Values that enable the maximum capacity for life to progress: pursuing competence,
maintaining health and establishing a rock solid family on the foundation of
integrity.

We are not built for fun and enjoyment.

And if you select your apex value on the basis of pursuing fun, you will pay for it by
robbing yourself of meaning.

And the real tragedy is if you don’t understand meaning, where you make the trade-
off thinking it’s worthwhile. The only fun you deserve is the fruits that grow out of
your hardship. The hardship you’ve set your eyes on to progress life to its absolute
capacity. The fun you get to have is a by product of your suffering, already paid for.

Suffer now as your down payment for prosperity, or pay the fine for your poorly
chosen values when life demands it.

We are not here to have fun. Symbolic representations are everywhere that’s
testament to this. Just open your eyes and you’ll see.
###

My german cousins talk to me which country they’re travelling to next, which hobby
they’ve recently taken up, which industry they work in.

My middle-eastern cousins tell me how they eat the same food, because can’t walk
to the corner store without getting potentially shot.

###
"If no one has integrity, why should I?"

This is the excuse used by nihilistic, degenerates to justify their herd mentality.

You should act based on what you value.

Not what the masses do.

You cannot put a value on anything unless it can be compared.

Comparison reveals the difference in value, then it’s judged and prioritised according
to preference. This applies to everything in life.

Every action signifies a preference for a value over another.

Woman A displaying cleavage is instantly compared to Woman B wearing a modest

top. Regardless of the reasons to display cleavage, the type of men she attracts will
ultimately label her value, because whether we choose to believe it or not, cleavage
arouses men.

There's no exception that Woman A is a sexual arouser when compared to woman B,

and therefore will by default be a preference for men who value sex.

Rather than understand the origin of her predicament, she ends up being used, then
blame and hate men for it.
Woman B on the other hand is not providing this visual. She makes no associations
between herself and any stimulus to arousal whatsoever.

By large, she attracts men who pursue values other than sex.

This is ONE example that qualities exist due to comparisons. So if you want to draw
quality people towards you, watch how you talk, behave and dress.

Everything matters.

Every action has a cost.

The men who say

"Hypergamy doesnt care"

Lack the intelligence to screen quality women from gold diggers, and assume all
women would sell their souls to attain the apex man.

For women, a limitless strive to attain the apex man will risk costing her loyalty and
integrity.

But disregarding it entirely would mean to potentially settle for a man who can’t
provide, impacting attraction and dynamics of a healthy relationship.

For a woman, the metric is:

Select men higher on the socio-economic hierarchy, WITHOUT compromising loyalty

and integrity.

If these qualities are of no regard, then it’s safe to assume she’s seeking abundance
of materials from the apex man, ie gold digger.

A quality woman’s pursuit of a highly desirable man lies in the paradox of being
attracted to his ABILITY to generate wealth, not wealth itself.

This value motivates her to remain loyal and uphold her integrity, rather than sell
herself to the highest bidder.

For a man in the hypergamy game, the metric is simple:

Differentiate between quality women who understand men of high value, from the
gold-diggers.

Her attraction to you should stem from the suffering you put yourself through,
demonstrating your potential and capacity to provide, not the materials you own. If
she’s drawn to your wealth and possessions, she’s pursuing the apex for the luxuries.

And you’re just a pit stop.

Most men fail to screen these women, and in fact go the other way by showing off
their cars and materials,then end up getting burnt and misrepresent hypergamy with
‘she’s not yours, it’s just your turn.’

No.

You’re just too stupid and deserve the poison you picked.

If a woman leaves you mid-relationship, you either failed to screen her properly in
the beginning, or you lost the touch, got fat, lazy andcomplacent.

That’s not hypergamy to blame.

It’s your fault on both accounts.

(Exceptions apply here)

Hypergamy works in a life-furthering manner when each side makes sacrifices.

If you’re a man, vet women thoroughly. Do not underestimate their ability to deceive.

If you’re a woman, aim towards the apex, without compromising your character for
money.
Why is Self-Control associated with good and not bad?

What makes it good?

@DeeperThrill made a great tweet in relation to this, which i want to expand on.

Good and evil (bad) are practical labels we put on life-furthering vs life-negating
values.What furthers life to its maximum capacity, is what represents good.

And the opposite is also true. An element that latches on to this concept, is the
chronological exercise of delaying gratifications.

And this is often achieved by suppressing desires NOW, to fulfil desires at some point
in time, in the future.

It’s become self-evident that delaying gratifications leads to fulfilment of life-

furthering values. And so the sacrifice made is ‘not obtaining the gratification now.’
By deduction, the more gratifications you fulfil now, the more life-negating values
you uptake. And this is why Self-Control associates itself with “Good,” because in
essence, it furthers life by suppressing desires.

Freud believed that we are a set of multiple personalities each chasing their own
urges.

Nietzsche believed only few had the capacity to apply self control, by creating a
central governing body through self imposed slavery to forcefully restrain desires.
Anyone aside from family that comes into your life should accelerate your progress.

If they don’t, show them the door.

No exceptions.
If you’re a man, have an ambition greater than human gratification. Do something for
generations to come.

Find a woman that supports this.

If you’re a woman, do not be with a man with no ambition.

Do not be with a man who puts you first, ever.

Do something with your goddamn lives because aesthetics will expire.

The only thing that will be left is you with your wrinkled old skin unable to walk
without excruciating back pain.

Go for absolute greatness. Then die proudly

Best advice I ever received from my first boss: learn rules to break them.

Whatever line of work you're in, learn the rules inside out.

Then learn the consequences of what would happen if you break them.

Then break them if it means putting you or someone else in a better position.

When you break a rule you will be faced with consequences.

Those consequences will announce themselves to you and how you prepare will
require you to justify yourself and face probable punishment.

What makes you exceptional is your ability to voluntarily break rules when you deem
necessary, prepare to justify yourself, and face the punishment with courage knowing
that you broke it for a just cause. If you can’t do that, then you deserve no raise or
promotion. You deserve no responsibility. You stand for nothing, in or outside work.

The exceptional over deliver on their job description, and have the ability to break
the rules when necessary. Then bravely face punishment.

Become the best at what you do, maintain your integrity, and be fearless when
breaking rules. Force the bosses to go easy on you. If your intention upholds integrity,
then everything is permitted.

Learn the rules, to have the ability to break them.

 Anxiety is the result of failing to successfully transform the confrontation of
the unknown into the known
Here’s an example and what to do about it.

You’re learning how to drive for the first time. This is confronting the unknown.

You’re overwhelmed by negative emotions but there’s also positive emotions; your
dad sitting next to you, guiding you.

Despite the comfort (hope) you crash.

You become struck with strong isolated negative emotions, completely transforming
the scenario into chaos.

Your hope gets fried, you become lost and you didn’t expect the unknown (learning
how to drive) to lead to this extreme aberration.

You come home shake it off, move on with life. You failed to successfully transform
the unknown to the known to drive safely and gain the experience on how to
adequately drive on the road.

Confronting the unknown is very different from re-confronting a failed attempt of the
unknown. There’s a history.

Your brain associates memorial triggers from the first failed attempt and instantly
release a rush of chemicals along with negative emotions that brings on anxiety.

There are two options from here:

1. Take benzodiazepines before re-confrontation of the unknown.

2. Or expose yourself incrementally.

1. Don’t do drugs.

Exposing yourself incrementally means this:

Find your comfort zone of no trigger.

Find the point of trigger from the unknown.

Expose yourself to the triggers incrementally, while retreating to the comfort zone
when necessary.

This means, if hopping in the seat of a car causes triggers of anxiety then learn to first
walk to the car.

Repetitively doing this will further extend your exploration of this failed unknown to
the point of learning how to drive again.

Now apply this to everything.

 A man, who is hard on himself, pursues what’s difficult to obtain

He doesn’t want what’s easily given, because the challenge of obtaining something
difficult is his way of measuring his worth.

This applies to everything.

When he sees a woman who comes across easy, he will either use her if he lacks
integrity, or dismiss her beneath consideration.

He will scan for a woman with high standards, and then aim to get her to break rules
for him. These types of men don’t do it for money or fame. They have a personal pact
with themselves and feel disgusted if they can’t achieve what’s out of reach.

Every man wants what they can’t have. But only these men get it because they don’t
care what they have to sacrifice to obtain it. If you want quality, you better portray
quality. If you want what most can’t get, you better give up what most will not.

Be tyrannical on yourself, then go pursue what’s difficult to attain.

You’ll get it. And it’ll be a measure of your worth.

 Do everything you can to make your children outperform you

And do it in a manner that inspires them to do everything they can to increase your
longevity until your last breath, as they repeat the cycle to their own children.

That’s how ‘empires’ are built.

Money has a minimal but mandatory role in building a family.

But know it has incredible capacity to destroy one.

Nothing builds a potent prosperous family better than a combination of affection and
discipline.
I find an atheist who does ‘good’ for nothing in return, far more worthy than a man
of god who does it to reach the gates of heaven.

I value the woman who leverages her intellect on society rather than her beauty, far
more than the woman who instead uses her privileged beauty to impose her will on
society.

I respect a man who has the ability to bed any woman, yet chooses not to, far more
than the man who has the equal ability and readily gives in to his urges.

I value a woman unconstrained by religious moral code, who’s made a mistake, lost
her virginity, but done her best to preserve her value, far more than the woman
who’s a virgin as a result of being commanded by a church to forcefully suppress her
own desires.

I rather see character being tested.

I rather see what a person is made up of when they are given the absolute free choice
in the face of temptation.

The best of us, occupy the paradox; to have the ability to do, but choosing not to.
Coward and weak is the person who improves themselves for their partner,
parents, or god

They lack the ability to withstand temptation on their own, resorting to rules imposed
by others or by some metaphysical power to cowardly restrict their own free-will.

Attractive and worthy is the person who develops themselves for the sake of their
own divinity.

They negotiate with their future self to escape their own contempt of poor choices,
to raise their quality as a human being by making unrestricted acts of right from
wrong. Our element of faith is so tragically reversed. You eliminate the essence of
free-will when you put your faith in God in order to request help and forgiveness,
rather than rely on yourself to transcend for your own moral becoming.

We weren't given free-will only to succumb to a set of religious rules. Those who
restrict their free-will by codes set forth by saints and prophets are afraid, and seek
to cloak their own potential wickedness. They have no understanding of self.

The mere consequence of your wretched choices should make you reconsider your
being and self-understanding.

Not fear from god or religion.

If you're doing the right thing in fear of punishment, then you’re more evil and
wicked than you think.

Don’t ask god for help. God needs your help.

God needs men to turn this world around, men who do it for nothing in return, who
don’t seek recognition for their nobility. Who show courage and display unrestricted
free-will, yet still do the right thing. If you're going to change, change for yourself, no
one else.
Respect God. Act as though he exists and pray when grateful. But never request his
help and never fear him.

Seek to help him by becoming a man of nobility and character, because he needs us.
 Personal Power

The potential ability to influence a change in people’s behaviour or the course of

events by force, to attain an objective.

My Corporate perspective and experience on how to obtain it.

Personal power has 6 components:

1. Character
2. Competence

3. Resources
4. Legitimacy
5. Leverage

6. Relational
1. Character

Your identity is how you see, think and feel about yourself.

Your reputation is how others think of you. You control your reputation through the
impression you make on others.

This eventually fortifies your character as your image and people respond
accordingly.

Elements of character for Personal Power:

- Integrity - For trust
- Detached - Ability to not hate the opposition
- Submerged - Ego

- Charisma - To persuade
- Tolerance to conflict
2. Competence
Your specific knowledge is what makes you competent. This knowledge can be
leveraged to exchange other values in pursuit.

It is the purest form of power that cannot be taken away and can be infinitely
leveraged.

3. Resource Control
One of the most powerful, this position controls a resource the organisation needs.

You can generate resource dependancy from both tangible (eg. materials) and non-
tangible resources (eg. your competence and connections).

4. Legitimate Position

This power derives from 'licence to do', provided by a governing body or acedamic
institution. The credential obtained can be used to leverage your position into a
senior role (ascending the hierarchy) and/or exercise what the licence enables.

5. Leveraged Position

A leveraged position is obtained when the value you provide is in constant demand
and it’s being leveraged for a positon that grants you the authority to exercise your
will. Competence and/or specific knowledge gives you this postion.Character
maintains it.

6. Relational Power

a. Ties
b. Coalitions
c. Density

d. Centrality
Relational is the most important and underrated component of Power that strongly
relies on character and competence.
a. Ties

Ties are strengthened through:

- duration of knowing someone
- frequency of interaction
- value exchange
- vulnerability exchange

The first three creates a bond while the last one creates a covenant of trust,
deepening the relationship.

b. Coalition
Coalitions are groups of people that work together to enforce influence.

These groups are best formed when interests align, with each individual specialising
in different areas while collectively maintaining value alignment.

c. Density
Density measures how well people are connected within a coalition.

The higher the density, the better the control and external influence of the group.

Maintain a list of everyone you need to periodically connect with.

d. Centrality

Centrality is a tactic used to maximise your relational power by strengthening ties

with people who are at the centre of the coalition.

Find people who are connected to everyone. You indirectly borrow their power to
influence others in and outside the coalition.

1st - Become competent and develop character.

2nd - Form or join a coalition that is aligned with your objectives.

3rd - Leverage the value you provide to reach central people within the coalition.
4th - Execute objectives with your personal, positional and relational power

The cost of obtaining a high value partner is making the right choices from your
youth.

You don't get to demand what you want when you've acted in a degenerate manner
all along and only happen to polish yourself up just now.

Pay the cost of your choices and be humble.

Don't ever apologise for your past. Everyone makes mistakes.

But you better damn make up for it. Pay the cost of your poor choices.

Do not demand anything if you haven't earned it.

Be grateful if you get more than you deserve

 HOW TO RAISE A SON TO BECOME A HIGH VALUE MAN

I would teach him the fundamentals of hierarchical values.

I would get him to aim for an apex value that's life furthering; abundance.
And teach him to orient himself in choices that will obtain that value on a path of
least resistance.

I would teach him to become disagreeable, so he doesn't become a victim of

oppression.

I would make him competent and would tell him to work for everything he wants.

Steering him clear of any inheritance and force him to uptake responsibility.

I would teach him to uphold his integrity, to not pursue frivolous, lustful gratifications
at the cost of it.

I would teach him to pursue women on the basis of his second apex value:
establishing a family, rather than pursuing them to fulfil his lustful desires.

I would teach him that as man, sexual experience is necessary.

But his experiences must come as a by-product of pursuing women with a potential
to become life partners.

His intention is to be clear, honest, and to select women based on the alignment of
his family values. I’d teach him that the best men occupy the paradox.

They are ruthless and gentle, predatory and protective.

And that if he is to become a man of value, it would mean to sacrifice. It would mean
to give a piece of himself to watch the ones he cares for, flourish.
Men who think women should break rules for them unconditionally because they
are the prize have no respect for other fathers.

These hypocrites safeguard their own daughter, but roam freely expecting women to
have sex with them at first sight.

What should ideally happen to a hypocritical man, who thinks he is the prize, is that
he should have his own daughter hunted down for sex by other men like him.

That way, he can watch his own daughters future burn in front him.

Raise your f#cking standards.

 WHY WOMEN ARE GEARED TOWARDS DISORDER

Why men should take more responsibility.

Women have an innate elevated level of negative emotions.

This is high neuroticism that clouds rationality and decision making.

Acting on emotions makes women susceptible to exploring mysteries and unknowns.

The high negative emotions drive women towards fear, danger and other forms of
temptations.

This explains why, ‘A man can play out a woman’s darkest fantasies if he encouraged
her enough’ because women will continue, until a man stops them.

Women MUST behave in this manner. Their proclivity towards the unknown is
necessary for men to bring about order.

Without women’s tendency to descend into chaos, men’s ascendency for order will
falter. These biological imperatives explain why conditioning is essential to a woman.

Conditioning is the act of applying masculine order, either through the patriarch,
tradition, culture or religion, to suppress a woman’s tendencies towards chaos.

Unconditioned women become subject to abusive narcissistic men, when they

choose to select temptations based on their emotions.

These women need conditioning from masculine order, much like a child needs
nurturing from maternal power.

Men must learn to uphold the patriarchal order. They must suppress their own
excessive predatory desires to maintain a fatherly outlook, and compensate for a
woman’s biological weakness of being susceptible to temptations through their
emotions.
Society is destroying belief systems through every means that helped condition
women.

Patriarchal order is as necessary as ever.

And this order is built upon every man’s action and the choices he makes.

Men must take responsibility for women, just as women take responsibility of
children.

A woman must challenge a man’s order.

And the man must have the capacity to rightfully apply order to put her back in her
place.
 A MAN’S WILL TO POWER AND THE ATTAINMENT OF HIS APEX VALUE

Nietzsche
Nietzsche believed to achieve will to power, you required to have self-determination.

Self-determination is made up of self-control and self-legislation, exempt from

established values and moralities, where your own value creation sets laws that lead
to transcendence.

To have self-control, you must organise your values in a hierarchical structure, and
seek to pursue an apex value. The apex value is a strong desire that possesses you to
attain a will, at any cost. Nietzsche believed the apex value for man, to be abundance.

Upon cementing the apex value, you pay the cost by denying all gratifications
pursued by erratic internal drives inside your soul. In order to deny with conviction,
your burning desire to attain your apex value must be greater than all other values in
pursuit. You then self-legislate; apply laws to your apex value, to structure a path of
least resistance to obtain it. This legislated path will kill undesirable parts of yourself,
unable to encounter the hardship faced while attaining the apex value, leading to
your transformation.

Your duty after attaining your apex value is to provide for society. Upon succession of
will to power, you have a newfound existential obligation to give back to mankind.

Societal improvement becomes a testament of your purpose and your worth.

Find your Apex Value.

Make it desirable enough to practice self-control and generate contempt to force you
to self-legislate a path to attain it.

Become self-determined.

Self-determined men run the world.

How do you allow yourself to become envious and fuel competitive desire without
becoming resentful?

Negative emotions like envy, are far more powerful in motivating us than positive
because it’s strongly tied to our survival instincts.

Start with working for everything you want to get. Refuse anything that's given to you
for free. Getting what you don't work for develops pride and privilege, which turns
into hate and resentment once it stops coming your way.

Refuse to become oppressed. Speak up when you're being forced to do something

you dont want to do.

Oppression is the gateway to envious resentment.

Say no, and face the consequences. Break rules with integrity, and confront the
punishment. Learn to become disagreeable. Do not help those who can help
themselves. Spend time on yourself first. Your interests come first. Be less
sympathetic. Stop providing for others when you can’t provide for yourself. Stop
being cooperative and start being competitive.

When you do something, strive to become the best at it. Competitive behaviour
motivates competence. Competence is power. Then integrate your shadow.
Understand why you are envious. Watch yourself like a hawk when you get the
feeling. Ask yourself why you get it. Pinpoint what brought it on, then hunt for it
ruthlessly until you get it.

Feed your hunger. Not hate.

 HOW TO RAISE A DAUGHTER TO BECOME A HIGH VALUE WOMAN

Aside from preserving her value, a daughter faces two dilemmas that should concern
a father.

1. To develop her femininity

2. To pursue independence

Choosing 1 makes her vulnerable to abuse. Choosing 2 destroys her happiness.

One choice will always come at the cost of the other. To protect a daughter, means to
raise her to become independent, to not be at the mercy of any man, to be able to
stand on her feet, and look after herself if necessary.

She must develop a degree of masculine traits to achieve this, a necessary damage to
her femininity. She must know that her pursuit of independance comes at a great
cost; motherly happiness with a husband. But a cost she should pay out of self-
preservation, and to know when to stop paying it.

Independance for a daughter should be pursued just enough to make her stave off
misery, but then to reclaim her feminine nature and seek to embrace a motherly role.

Because meaning can only be found when she embraces her nature, true happiness
for a daughter is found when she embodies her feminine role and relies on a man for
support. When she seeks to submit to him and support his ambitions in every way.

She must understand that a man to lead her is in her best interest. That her feminine
nature descends into chaos without a man’s order.

She should seek to fortify his leadership, and support his decision and raise their
children in unity. A daughter must understand that her value is preserved through
sex. And that the more she abstains from it, the more power she has in negotiation
with a high value man. The further she delays it, the more respect she can demand.
She must understand and seek to only be in relationships where the man, is worthy
of being a partner and also a father, and to stay clear of men incapable of having a
fatherly outlook.

Real men respect fathers. A daughter must understand to not leverage her looks on
society. That imposing her will with her beauty is narcissistic, and that the more
modest she behaves, the higher quality men she attracts.

Her feminine nature must reject arrogance while embracing humility and grace.
Imagine being so driven by lust,that you justify having multiple wives, who are clearly
insecure with rock bottom self-esteem to accept being shared by a man in the first
place as an act of thinking you're the 1%.

Choose monogamy. No woman of value and intellectual capacity would approve of

sharing a man with multiple wives. I’d rather have 2 children with the best
combination of genes than 10 semi-stupid ones.
 HOW TO BECOME A HIGH VALUE MAN IN 3 MONTHS

Before October comes, this thread will guide you to prepare yourself in identifying
your values, prioritizing them in a hierarchical structure, orient yourself on a path of
least resistance and start making sacrifices to obtain them, transforming you into a
man of value.

Write down your values.

For a man, your apex value should be abundance.

You must attain it, or at least be on a path that will lead to its attainment.

If you are too distracted in your pursuit of women and indulgences, stop reading
here. What does it mean to attain your apex value on a path of least resistance?

It means you will orient yourself in a strategic manner that will lessen as many
obstacles in your way of attaining your value.

Your choices and time allocation will be devoted to this value. This means to count
your moves. To make moves in the form of sacrifices, strictly related to your apex
value. Moves that negotiate with the future and force your apex value to come to
you. Count each one and stay on the path.

You will achieve abundance in two ways:

1. Leverage Competence

2. Begin your own start up

To leverage competence, you will first need to take stock of your current job
description, pinpoint what you’re expected to do and what you get paid for.

Then, you will seek to deliver your job description at an exceptional level.
You will leave no room for negligence or incompetence. You will not worry about
recognition, and aim to perfect what you are required to do.

When ready, you will leverage your perfection, to uptake more responsibility +
authority, not money. You will negotiate that you currently do ABC for X amount, but
you are willing to do ABCDE for 2 months, and if you deliver, you will rightfully
request positional ascendency. When you become exceptional in your line of work,
you create specific-knowledge-like asymmetry.

Any asymmetry you create in your favour can be leveraged. Exchange the value you
generate easily, for the value you want. When I worked as a pharmacist, I dispensed
at 30 seconds per medication, when others took 10min. I leveraged this to reduce
staff, then leveraged to implement systems for cost efficiency, which made me a
manager, and leveraged for corporate.

Study the scenario, find the leverage. While you exercise this, you will record, print
weekly reports of every sale, every profit every satisfied customer under your name
and construct an impeccable CV.

So when the bosses don’t play nice, you can leverage this as a threat.

If you are successful in your promotion, repeat the process. Find leverage in your new
found responsibilities. You are not pursuing more money. You are pursuing more
responsibility and authority. Money will come after. Leverage competence for
positional power. Your competence in your job should be part of the system. You do
not want your competence to self-automate in your absence. You want to become so
good at what you do, that the business falls apart without you. Generate reliance to
cement your leverage. Avoid redundancy.

Option 2 is start up. If you want to start your own business, in my opinion it is a
brutal path to take.

HAVE a stable job before taking the risk in going for a startup. You must maintain a
stable income stream for this option.
You are NOT an entrepreneur if you are not making weekly progress.

If you want to start your own business, you MUST have a clear deadline for weekly
action and progress.

Investors check progress, worth ethic and personality before investing. Your journey
to abundance will kill off so many undesirable parts of you that you will inevitably
transform who you are.

You’ll be forced to become strategic, think ahead, and be cunning and ambitious; a
force to contend with.

If you don’t become disagreeable in your quest for abundance, you are not devoting
enough time for your apex value:

- you come first

- competitive
- less social
- assertive

- insubordinate

- value driven
- time conscious

unconcerned for anything petty and frivolous.

These qualities developed as a side effect in your path to abundance, are the traits
that make you attractive.

Combine this with your capacity to provide, your accountability and competence, it
makes you a high value man.

Your aim before October

1. Acknowledge apex value as abundance

2. Pinpoint the position you are seeking.

3. Pinpoint your path towards it

4. Pinpoint your job description

4. Write down how to excel in it

5. Plan on how you’ll leverage it once excelled

By 2021, you should have improved your current position and developed,

- Responsibility
- Confidence
- Authority

- Credibility
- Leadership

- Disagreeableness

Don’t stop. You’re set to dominate 2021.

The lesson in this thread is to understand leverage.

When you become exceptionally competent in one domain, you can leverage it on
the dominance hierarchy and ultimately increase your value.

This lesson can be applied to many contexts.

 WHY INTEGRITY ALLOWS YOU TO BREAK RULES

Integrity is about doing the right thing when no one is watching.

This means a person who lacks integrity, only behaves in ways that maximizes his
perceived value in front of others.

Audience is all that matters to him. Take away the audience, and you are facing a
person, within the realm of the unknown; you dont know the potential of HOW he
could behave, what he is capable of, because he lives without a code. His alternating
behaviour depending on the presence of an audience indicates his honesty to be
disingenous, his self-interest to be harmful and his motives to be expedient.

People with no integrity require social systems that enforce laws to abide by.

They have to be contained within a sphere that limits their selfish pursuits from
ending up harming others as a consequence.

This is why obedience is for those with no integrity or self-control.

They must abide to laws.

It’s in their BEST interest, because unchaining them would most likely lead to their
instability and collateral damage to others.

Those with integrity do the right thing when no one is watching.

IRRESPECTIVE of an audience, they have the ability to self-legislate themselves to act

in a life-furthering manner.

They can face hell, take the heat and not be consumed by it.

A man with integrity has a reputation that radiates credibilty and trust.

He can be TRUSTED to hold a gun.

He has faced temptations when no one was watching, and yet defied his desires to
maintain his integrity.

He requires no obedience, because temptations have no impact on him.

When he breaks the rules, he will do it for a just cause, likely to benefit those around
him. He is not accustomed to break rules for selfish pursuits.

That is why a Texan father ends up not charged for murdering a molester; a Biblical
example of a man with integrity, completely integrating his shadow of hell, to take
away an evil soul for the greater good of the society and fulfilling retribution for his
daughter. When a man of integrity breaks the rules his reputation will precede him
for everyone to know that his insubordination is justified.

And that makes the system go easy on him, and others admire him.

1. Develop Integrity

2. Integrate your shadow

And be fearless.
 MEN NEED TO FIND THEIR PURPOSE

Here's how:

Whatever your circumstances are, what I will explain here can be incorporated in
your life anytime. I strongly believe every man should align themselves with this
purpose;

Pursue Power.

You need to find your apex value, the value at the top that you would sacrifice
anything to obtain.

This value should in some form, provide abundance.

Your desire to attain this value should far exceed your urges to fulfil other
gratifications. This means your passion to achieve abundance should force you to
self-legislate and suppress your urges from making you deviate off your path. This will
enable you to attain your apex value in the least resistant manner. If it doesn't, then
you're not aligned with your this value.

Whatever your line of work is, whether it’s a janitor or a CEO, protect it more than
anything else in your life. Your work is your path to attain power.

You just need two ingredients:

Competence and Leverage

Your first step to attaining power, is to become sublime exceptional in your line of
work. Apply the stages of learning to your job description:

1. Unconscious Incompetence.

2. Conscious Incompetence.

3. Conscious Competence.

4. Unconscious Competence.
Then apply the 5th: Efficiency.

Efficiency is doing better, what is already being done. Efficiency wipes out your
competitors. Efficiency makes your bosses fire others when you show the contrast of
their complacency. Set your own PR's over and over. Once you reach a position of
sublime competence, you run a SWOT analysis on the people you work with, and the
operations and systems of your work.

Strengths

Weaknesses
Opportunities

Threats
Find weaknesses, align it with opportunities then leverage it with your competence.

Every time you leverage your competence, it should be for positional ascendency. It
will come in the form of more

- responsibility

- authority

- influence

- leadership

…every quality which can be further leveraged to achieve new heights.

When you reach abundance, strive to be a man of character and not indulge.

The best men continuously behave frugally despite their abundance.

They do not pursue power for money or fame. They do it because their capacity to
attain it, is a measure of their worth.

A man's second apex value should be family.

Use the same principles in your pursuit of a woman.

Orient yourself on a path of least resistance that can help you obtain such woman.

This means to apply self-restraint on any women that does not fit the description of a
mother. Raise your standards. Seek a woman that qualifies of being the best mother
to your children. Seek modesty, humbleness, feminine, motherly nature.

Seek intelligence. Find a woman that hates the lifestyle while supports you to
continuously attain your apex value. Leverage your competence, pursue power, not
happiness. Pursue power to provide. Find a woman who wants your children, not just
any. Raise your children with hardship, not comfort. Leave a legacy on your last
name. Be admired at your funeral.
 MEN NEED TO INTEGRATE THEIR SHADOW

Here's how:

Integrating your shadow effectively means to harness the malevolent side of your
being, and yielding it to a noble end.

Not everyone has the ability to integrate their shadow. It requires strength in
character and resolute integrity.

To integrate your shadow, you must first understand that: Morality is the act of doing
good, and cannot coexist with self-interest.

Immorality is the act of malevolent creativity. Amorality is acting in interest, with no

regard to good or evil. A person doing a moral act cannot expect any benefit from it.

But when both parties benefit; it becomes an amoral act. If the act leads to the
recipients harm, then it’s immoral. True morality is extremely rare.

The morality set out by religious and traditional customs imposes men to do good for
a God-given reward and supposedly prevent them from deviating off a path that
could lead to hell.

It makes men uphold a pseudo morale while rendering them naïve through bedience.

The problem with moral obedience is that it prevents you from visiting hell. But in
life, it’s often hell that visits you. Involuntary encounter of hell, makes you a prey.

Voluntary confrontation of hell makes you a predator. Men must reject morality to
escape obedience. It’s foolish to assume that morality always leads to a good
outcome. Giving money with no expectation of a return (a moral act), to a child who's
shining shoes, will almost always derail him. Whereas making him work for it (an
amoral act), will make him competent in the future.

It’s a common misconception that amorality is evil. But choices that lead to the best
interest of both parties are the most life-furthering act a man can make.
Amorality is exempt from obedience, and when exercised righteously, it becomes the
antidote to immorality.

The first step in integrating your shadow is to reject morality. To reject morality, you
must replace it with amorality. To righteously act in a amoral way, you must develop
integrity. Integrity is the backbone of guiding amoral actions towards life-furthering
values. Integrity enables a man to exercise self-restraint and abstain from engaging in
opportunities that would allow him to get away without consequences.

Combined with amorality, he can become disobedient; look out for his and others’
interests, and develop self-reliance.

An amoral man of integrity, who refuses to be obedient, is a man who can integrate
his shadow.

The essence of 'having the unrestricted option to do, but choosing not' is what gives
him the power to confront hell, take the heat and not be consumed by it.

The cost of integrating your shadow, means to lose your compass of religious
obedience.

A dangerous but necessary transition to win the spiritual war, something religion will
never teach you. And that is why we are losing. The difference between a moral
religious man and an amoral man of integrity,is that the former obeys
commandments,and that the latter self-legislates his own commandments towards a
higher power that can deliver good from evil.

An amoral man of integrity seeks to address his interest while looking out for the
interest of others.

He is unchained from obedience and will do what it takes to achieve a noble end.

He is a predator, waiting to hunt malevolence, and obliterate it.

He will harness the sin of wrath, for he knows that when evil takes by force, he can
only restore it by force.

He will harness the sin of envy, if it means to transcend his life to a higher standard of
living, without being consumed by resentment.

He will harness the sin of greed to seek abundance, but then to provide to those in
need, before the allure of lavishness derails him.

He will harness the sin of pride, to walk among those who are pathologically
narcissistic, while keeping his humility intact.

He will harness every quality in the dark triad to make the malevolent pay, and bring
about a benevolent end for himself and those he cares about.

He knows his shadow already stretches down to hell. Futile to deny it, he embraces it
under voluntary control. The best men occupy the paradox. They yield Satan’s trident
spear to destroy evil. They voluntary confront hell. They don't need obedience to
keep them upright. They don't need religion. They are god’s warriors.

Self-legislate or perish.
 A DETAILED METHOD ON HOW TO INTEGRATE YOUR SHADOW

Requested by followers

Every time you act out in a regrettable manner, it’s a result of your shadow
manifesting itself involuntarily.

Your central-self that most commonly embodies the YOU that people know you as,
fails to control it. The regret followed by the urge, is a sign of the shadow in control.

Reflect over the course of your past and identify the moments you acted out that led
to regret. Find patterns in the behaviours that acted out involuntarily to identify each
one. Pick one of the shadows you are prone to FREQUENTLY: a repetitive behaviour
you regret often. The frequency of regret from a particular behaviour, measures how
much your central-self is consumed by this shadow.

This metric also determines the level of harm your shadow inflicts upon your
surrounding. The more repetitive the regrettable behaviour, the stronger the
shadow.

Clearly identify this behaviour, categorise it under the 7 sins, give it a name, an
identity and understand its personality.

Write down in a diary, in past experience about this behaviour as if its someone else,
explicitly detailing WHY it acted out, and HOW it acted out.

The "WHY and WHAT" gives the shadow identity.

You must give it an identity in order to enslave it.

Write a true story about it based on its past experiences.

This is a necessary process of familiarity with your shadow.

"WHY" the demon acts out is the TRIGGER that brings it to existence.
This could be someone or something you envy, hate or love.

Write down a list of "HOW" it acts out -detailing the behaviour it displays to get what
it wants.

Conceptualise the TRIGGER as the portal of hell. Because it is literally when the
demon comes to existence.

Now understand that,

1. Voluntary exposure to hell - makes you a predator.

2. Involuntary encounter to hell - makes you a prey.

Example

Leaving the marshmallow on the table - is voluntary exposure to hell.

Removing it off the table, will lead to involuntary encounter at a later point in time.

The former makes you a predator in control of your urge (shadow).

The latter makes you a prey consumed by it.

You must VOLUNTARILY expose yourself to the triggers that bring about your
regrettable behaviours.

This is the process of systemic desensitisation.

Then, when you battle with the shadow and begin to influence HOW it acts out, you
begin the process of shadow integration.

Every round of voluntary exposure to your shadow, should ideally lead to better
control of it.

If you waited 5 minutes before consuming the marshmallow in the first round, you
should wait longer the next round.

Eventually you won’t feel the need to act on it.

Shadow integrated.

The marshmallow test was a social science experiment by a Stanford psychologist

who linked willpower to future success.

But its concept can be extended in shadow integration as it fundamentally tests the
urge of an individual andthe ability of the central-self to suppress it.

Shadow integration is a two step process.

1. Open the portal of hell by exposing yourself to the trigger and confronting the
emergence of your shadow.

2. Battle against it by slowly taking away its capacity to impose its will upon why
it’s been summoned and what it wants.

You will know that your shadow has integrated when you open the portal of hell,
expose yourself to the trigger, only to realise that the devil has ceased to exist.
There's no urge, no desire to fight off.

It's just you, with the devil inside, under resolute voluntary control.

Shadow integration is the process of individuation -where one consciously and

gradually integrates the unconscious aspects of themselves that they refused to
confront and are enslaved by it -into their central personality to achieve individuation
and completion.

You can only use devilish means for angelic outcomes, when you're absolutely certain
that the demon you are unleashing, will not turn on you.

That you have familiarised yourself to it, that you have given it an identity and taken
away its power, to use at your own will.
 BECOME A HIGH VALUE MAN THROUGH PURPOSE, NOT GAME

Men spend half their lives seeking tactics to attract women, while disregarding their
core responsibility at the cost of it.

The need to fulfil lust has become so strong, that a man’s apex value has become
nothing but sex.

Men need to become attractive and understand women.

But the answer is not through game.

The answer lies in having a purpose greater than women; a purpose with the capacity
to derail a man and develop attractive traits as a consequence. When you select a
path towards abundance, you by default will encounter resistance.

You will be forced to contend with obstacles that either break you or force you to
elevate and overcome them.

This is hardship, where attractive traits are forged. For you to overcome resistance, it
will require you to kill parts of yourself too complacent to handle the brutal forces
encountered. You will fail. Then get back on your feet. Then fail again. Every time you
get back up, you shed the undesirable parts of yourself. You will be forced to become
more determined, more aggressive.

You will become more cunning and leverage means to reach your end.

You will become intolerant of anything and anyone that conflicts with your apex
value.

You won’t play hard to get. You will BE hard to get.

The sheer chaos you confront in the midst of your journey towards abundance, will
transform you to a person that exhibits strong dominance, disagreeableness and
accountability.
The kind of traits women are biologically drawn to.

Your transformation arouses authentic negative emotions in women.

It is the basis of raw attraction that touches on their biological instincts.
Game seeks to address this through fabrication.
Women need men, not grown children. It’s fortunate that women are aroused by
dominance. Because men can then align their purpose on a trajectory of pursuing
abundance that attains that same dominance as a consequence, effectively achieving
their goal while simultaneously attracting women. Game is for those with no
purpose, trying to fabricate their attractive traits.

It superficial, short-term and costly, deviating men further away from their true apex
value. Attractive traits can only be forged through hardship, whether you're a man or
a woman.

There's nothing game can teach you that pursuing abundance wont.

And if it does, it’s not real. It will draw insecure women that fall for shallow men with
no depth. Seeking tactics to fulfil your lust disqualifies you from being a high value
man.

Pursue abundance.

The resistance faced, will make you:

-Intolerant

-Control your urges

-Disagreeable

-Focused and hard to get

-Outcome independent

-Dominant
-Detached

-Accountable

-Attractive

Play this game instead.

“Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.”

― Voltaire

Image: Oedipus Explaining the Enigma of the Sphinx, Louvre

Critical Thinking is a general school of thinking that goes back to Socrates, Thomas
Aquinas and Descartes. Its basic tenet is to think rigorously.

It's important to consider the following for any argument:

 Accuracy
 Breadth
 Clarity
 Depth
 Rationality
 Relevance
Different viewpoints may have different interpretations, based on different
assumptions, concepts, goals and other information. Critical thinking should drive you
to discover and challenge all suppositions and test all arguments and conclusions.

Leave no stone unturned. The inner critic that can be an enemy of a ‘soft creative
type’ is the friend and mentor of the critical thinker (which is a strange paradox, as
both can come up with creative and practical ideas).

Questions that aid in critical thinking:

 What is your objective?

 What are you really trying to achieve?
 From what viewpoint are you considering the situation?
 On what information are you basing decisions?
 Where did this information come from?
 How clearly factual is the information? All of it?
 How logically are you analysing and arguing?
 What are the scientific bases? How soundly are they proven? (Does not always
apply, e.g. metaphysical)
 What concepts are you using? How valid are they?
 What are the underlying assumptions? What are the implications of using
them?
 Manly Lifestyle
Mind control

WARNING: The methods mentioned in this thread are powerful,

and should only be used for protection against attacks.

Your memories are not yours. You believe it to be black and white: you remember, or
you don't. It's not true. People have been changing your memories since birth.

Your mind isn't designed to be accurate; it's made to be effective. This typically
means well for you, but it has unintended consequences. Instead of setting memories
in stone, they are malleable. You can create false memories in not only yourself, but
others. The formula to change memories is simple: Sincerity, authority, and
repetition.

You must be sincere in order to deceive, the higher the authority you are to them the
more believable you are, and the more often you say it the more they believe. One
time my friend told me we both went to a haunted house one year, I couldn't
remember and it couldn't possibly be true, could it? Slowly over the day, we both
wouldn't budge. Until I remembered, very vaguely, being at a haunted house with
him. That never happened. I was home.

So what happened?
Sincerity: He would not budge that it happened.
Authority: He was my best friend, he wouldn't lie to me!
Repetition: I agonized over the memory for the entire day.
I created a memory that NEVER HAPPENED.

Now imagine if he had more sinister intentions.

With this formula, you could turn friends against one another. Psychiatrists have even
been blamed for implanting memories into "victims" of assault.

On the other hand, victims of assault have been tricked that their memories were
false! This goes both ways.

This is gaslighting. This formula is also the reason hypnosis works. If you want to
believe it, your brain will allow it. This part of Twitter uses something called
affirmations to program themselves to believe they are powerful, this relies on
similar principals. As you can see, you can use this power for good and evil. It is very
real and scientifically proven, so you should watch yourself. The reason I teach you
this isn't for you to use it: it's to protect yourself. Much like marketing, it's less
effective if you know the methods. So whenever someone is leading you down an
uncertain path, remember: Your memories can't be trusted. When in doubt,
understand that there is no truth in your memories: only what you, and others, want
you to believe.
 7 THINGS I WISH I KNEW ABOUT WOMEN AT 18

18 years old. What a magical time in my life. Fresh out of high school, ready to rock
the world. I, however, wasn't ready to get cheated on and crash land into reality.

It was all avoidable, if only I had the knowledge.

#1: Women do not speak to you with words, but with actions
Never take a woman's words at face value. Women do not communicate like men.

Women will communicate with subtle hints that will drive you crazy if you can't
decipher them. Learn what they mean.

Example: If a girl likes you, she will not come up there and tell you. She'll sit across
the room, make eye contact, and try to look as pretty as possible.

Now, if you were like me at 18, you'd start wondering if she likes you.

If you were smart, you'd already know.

Do you know how many times your girl has wanted sex from you and you've missed
it? That pretty pair of panties you said were your favorite. She's not wearing those
based on coincidence. She wants you to notice and take charge.

PAY ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND DECIPHER HER ACTIONS

#2: She has no idea what she actually wants

Women are insanely emotional creatures. What she wants is rarely based on logic,
but more how she feels in that very moment. Have you ever gotten a woman angry
right before you eat and suddenly she isn't hungry? Exactly. Instead of letting her
decide, take this to your advantage. You now know that you can make your woman
want something simply by making her feel a certain way. Yes, that includes sex.

Always remember it is your responsibility to lead your woman, in both logic and
emotions.
#3: Women do not want to see you cry

No matter how much they tell you, they do NOT want you to be constantly
emotionally available. Women love men with drive, passion, and joy. They hate men
who are always crying, punching walls, and screaming. This is not an excuse to be a
brick wall and never show any emotion. Men with zero emotion are boring.

There's a healthy middle in this, and it's not hard to figure out. Just don't be a
neurotic manchild, and you'll be fine.

#4: True love will die if you don't feed the fire

So many men believe in this hollywoodesque ideal of what love embodies. That once
those initial sparks fly, you'll be in love forever. This is not true whatsoever.
Relationships are work. You have to play the game properly. Sometimes you have to
be unavailable to her, sometimes you have to be cruel. Just as many times you must
surprise her with flowers and other spontaneous gifts. The objective is to prevent life
from becoming mundane. Of all things, women hate being bored the most.

#5: Women are your partners in crime

Once again, Hollywood has given men a false perception that your woman should be
your best friend in the world. Women are quite typically more shallow. They're less
ambitious. They do not make a good brother. Men are far more qualified. Women are
here to support you in a submissive role. A man's purpose is to achieve greatness, a
woman's purpose is to make his life easier so he can achieve it.

She will take on tasks that take up his time such as cleaning and cooking so he can
focus on his aspirations.

#6: Women should be financially free

Men are providers. We've done this for hundreds of thousands of years, but suddenly
this century demands women to pursue their own careers in the name of
independence.
Yet women are far more miserable in this state. It goes against biology.

No matter how hard it gets on you, you should work your ass off until you have the
ability to completely provide for your family. Your woman does not desire to take
part in this, she has just felt pressured to in society. If you can't provide, she will find
someone who will.

#7: She is not worth fixing

See, when I was younger, I thought that I could skip the process of finding a high
quality woman by "repairing" low quality one. She will never be healed. You may
think you're improving her, but the same destructive behaviors she had will
resurface. This is not derived from your pure, bleeding heart.

You want to fix your women because you're a coward.

You're scared of the work it takes to become high quality, and even more afraid of
high quality women rejecting you. The quality of your woman reflects you.

FIX YOURSELF
Note if you plan to use this one, the titles of each number need changed slightly. I
accidentally flipped the tone halfway through.
 BECOMING FIRE
"The spark" at the beginning of the relationship is feminine, chaotic and exciting
much like a woman's emotions.

The embers of a once exciting relationship, now secure, is masculine: stable and
predictable.

Both are unsustainable, therefore you must combine them to become fire.

Consider your relationship an actual fire.

Most of the time, you can sit around it and be warm and cozy, but when the flames
grow dim you must throw wood into the fire to maintain its liveliness.

Throw too much, and it grows out of control. Too little, and it dies.

A terrible truth about men and women: they are completely mismatched with each
other when it involves their needs in a relationship.

In the beginning, men are romantics while women vet their potential partner
ruthlessly.

This dynamic changes as their love grows older, however.

Gentlemen, the standard you set at the beginning of your relationship is one that
holds the entire way through. You may stop thinking of doing spontaneous things to
make her happy, but she doesn't.

She will compare your current and past self the entire time.

Men will slowly lean towards the side of comfort and security, and in their minds
there's no reason they shouldn't.

It's far more comfortable to come home from work, sit on the couch, have your plate
of dinner made, and have lazy sex before bedtime.

This mindset kills the fire.

If you're going to do this, you may as well just call it quits and choose to live a
polygamous lifestyle.

Monogamous relationships require a lot of effort to maintain, and are quite possibly
one of the hardest things to master.

Women will err on the side of security in the beginning, choosing a stable man, but
this is due to all men fiercely competing for her attention.

Once the competition wears off, she is left desiring the intimacy that once was. If you
don't supply it, she will look elsewhere.

Women initiate 69% of all divorces.

The three biggest reasons: Lovelessness, infidelity, and arguments.

Most of these happen when the fire dies down, and men don't see it coming because
they are too busy seeing their situation through the rational eyes of a male.

There is a solution to this, of course.

Step 1: Vet your partner carefully. Most women vet their men, but hardly any men do
the same. You need someone who will support you.

Why would you throw wood into a fire that doesn't give you warmth?

Step 2: Bring excitement

Stop doing the same thing every damn day. That includes your "dates". She doesn't
want to go to Olive Garden every single weekend, no matter how great the
breadsticks are.

Go ice skating, traveling, just bring some flowers home every once in a while.

Step 3: Find the middle ground.

As you play with the fire, figure out where it burns the most reliably. You can't
constantly throw wood in, so you must figure out what makes the both of you
happiest.

This requires effort from both sides, but you're the man. Take charge.

Life isn't fair for men, but we were made to conquer life regardless.

The same applies for relationships. The most important lesson I could give you is to
take responsibility for everything, even if it isn't directly your fault.

You have the power to change anything. Godspeed.

 APPEAL TO EMOTIONS NOT LOGIC
The masses do not care about your logical arguments.

They only care about how you make them feel.

This is the failure of democracy.

Who honestly decided that we knew what was best for us?

The only thing we know is how to get fat and get in credit card debt.

This is why progressives will always win. You can rally a huge wave of voters with an
emotional response, which is their ENTIRE playbook.

It's difficult to get conservatives behind on anything because there's no sadness,

anger, or envy to support them on most issues.

Look at Trump's rallies during the last election.

Did he stand up there and boringly talk about each of his views?

NO, it's called a rally for a reason! He rallied the conservatives to be excited about his
rise, and angry at their enemies.

SURPRISE! He's now president.

Thus, if you are ever trying to persuade the common people, proceed with an
emotional argument.

Only men of greatness will take the time to debate facts.

Look better instantly (some of this would need to be revised due to me referencing
photos)
HOW TO LOOK BETTER INSTANTLY

There are many ways for you, as a man, to look:

 More stylish
 More fit
 More ATTRACTIVE
By changing things that you can do RIGHT NOW with minimal effort!

By the time this thread is over, you will go up at LEAST two points on the scale.

BUY BETTER FITTING CLOTHES

My number one greatest tip to looking better:

WEAR CLOTHES THAT FIT!

Even if we're not talking about a tailor fit suit, any shirt should:

Be form fitting

T shirt sleeves should not go down to your forearm; shorter and tighter sleeves are
better

A BAGGY T SHIRT MAKES YOU LOOK TINY!

Look at this left dude's arms, can you see his huge biceps?

NO!

You can't even see them.

What about the right?

HELL YEAH!

That is the power of form fitting clothes.

REMEMBER: Shorter sleeves, tighter sleeves, form fitting

GROOMING

This, if not done regularly, will turn chicks away GUARANTEED.

No girl likes a sloppy looking dude.

It's simple:

Get a clean cut, the simple rule is keep it shorter on the sides and longer on top.
Make sure to actually style it.

NO UNIBROWS

Trim your nosehairs!

GROOMING YOUR BEARD

Don't grow a neckbeard; take two fingers and put them on your adam's apple.
Anything below that top finger should be shaved.

On the line on your cheeks, imagine a straight line from your ear to the corner of your
mouth-- anything above that, goes.

Men, know how strong your jawline is!

The stronger your jawline, the shorter your beard should be. Show it off!

If you do not have a strong jawline, grow a longer beard!

Either way, your beard will increase your masculine image.

In that case..

GROW A BEARD!

Fellas, if you can't grow a beard, it's okay. Unfortunately, you will be missing out on
the great benefits of having one. Do not try to grow your scragglies-- stay clean
shaven.
IF YOU CAN, what the hell are you waiting for? Just keep it well maintained.

WORK OUT

"B-b-but Manly, you told us this would be INSTANT"

Yes, working out isn't instant, but two things:

THE PUMP is after a workout, for a while, your muscles look HUGE. It may be
temporary, but you'll love it.

NEWBIE GAINS, however, is what I want to talk about.

GET THOSE GAINS

Newbie gains can happen in as little as a week. It's where you're so damn scrawny
that literally any form of exercise is going to completely transform your body.

Don't believe me? I was 130 pounds when I first started working out, in just 3 months
I was 160!

NEWBIE GAINS (CONT.)

Of course that's a combination of fat and muscle gain, but my scrawny little arms
filled up my sleeves, I had that bump in my biceps that girls love so much. I went from
a 5 to a 7 in THREE MONTHS!

Find a workout plan for beginners, and get at it!

STOP SLOUCHING; YOU ARE NOT L FROM DEATH NOTE

You do not look cool slouching, you look like a slob.

Head up, shoulders back, walk with confidence.

Just make it look natural, you've got this!

This will take time to do naturally, your muscles are weak there. Just keep going
WEAR TIMELESS CLOTHING

Stop it with the cheesy graphic tees.

Get a collection of basic clothes:

 White tee
 Black tee
 Dark denim
 Stylish shoes
 Dress shirts
 Blazer

Then add some trendier items

 Nice watch
 Layer over a sweaterEtc.
 And expand from there.
 Timeless for a reason.

CONSUME REAL FOOD

Your body has evolved to run exceptionally well, given you treat it to the right fuel

Eat lots of protein (NOT SOY)

Avoid seed oils

Quit getting boozed up every day

Avoid added sugar and excessive carbs

Drink a crapload of water

You will look and feel amazing

FINAL TIP: PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTHS

Look at your body critically.

Are you balding? (consider shaving it all off if it's too bad)

Are you pudgy?

Is your jawline weak?

Work to minimize these features, while playing to your strengths.

Short term: Hide it

Long term: FIX IT!

 Alexander’s siege on Tyre
(So I just found out you can paste photos so I guess that’s what I’m doing now)

As Alexander the Great was marching towards Tyre with the request to make a
sacrifice to Heracles, the Tyrians made the decision to deny his request.

"It's too risky. He could be planning to occupy the city." They thought.

They would soon understand they made a grave mistake.

The Tyrians were confident, rightfully so.

Their city was esteemed as impregnable. Half a mile offshore, with walls rumored to
be 150 feet tall.

Their island had withstood countless sieges in the past, all futile.

Alexander knew the siege would be difficult, and tried to negotiate a peaceful
takeover.

To no avail. Alexander knew what must be done. He quickly brought together his
council and began his plan to conquer Tyre.

Alexander, an unstoppable force.

Tyre, an immovable object.

"There's no way we could get siege towers over there with ships, what will we do?" a
general may have asked.

Alexander had an answer. He always did.

He conquered the undefended city of Old Tyre. This city held no strategic advantage.

It had, however, rubble to build a bridge.

With the materials secured, his men went to work building a causeway to the island
city of Tyre.
Slowly but surely, their siege towers at the front, the Macedonians were making their
way towards Tyre.

Tyre had to do something. Fast.

They loaded up an old ship with combustible material, and launched their ship
straight towards the causeway.

Once they landed, they started burning everything they could. This included
Alexander's two siege towers that were vital to his plans.

This victory would be short lived

No one could match the indomitable will of Alexander. For many leaders, they would
have cut their losses there and admitted defeat.

Alexander looked at Tyre with fire in his eyes. He had a purpose that was larger than
any Tyrian in that city.

He marched towards his men.

"Build more towers and widen the causeway!" Alexander demanded.

Alexander then left his legion, understanding it would take more than a bridge to win
this war.

The Tyrians were still celebrating their victory when they looked beyond the walls.

Suddenly, they were outnumbered.

They looked out to find hundreds of Greek ships in their sights. Tyre was prepared for
naval battles, their navy was powerful, but they weren't prepared for this.

The Tyrians could no longer fathom winning a battle against Alexander.

They could now only rely on their defenses.

A painstakingly long battle ensued between the two parties. Every effort made by the
Tyrians was countered quickly by Alexander.

They tried throwing boulders into the coast to prevent his ships from coming closer,
and Alexander would lasso them away.

Nothing could stop them.

Eventually, Alexander broke the walls of Tyre and raided the city. The impregnable
city was defeated.

6,000 Tyrians killed in the raid.

2,000 more were crucified.

The other 30,000 sold to slavery.

Alexander only lost 400 of his men.

The lesson:

With unwavering faith in your ability and an indomitable will, even the impossible will
give way to you.

Alexander would later conquer the entire Persian empire. This siege was simply a
small strategic step towards his purpose.

May your purpose be as strong as his.

 CHEATING GIRLFRIEND
You come home early from work one day, your eyes lacking their once youthful
glimmer. Something has been off for a while.

You have no purpose. You live to work and to be with your girlfriend. Thank God work
is over..

You open the door..

To find another man in your bed.

The love of your life has just cheated on you. Everything in your world has shattered
right in front of you.

This person you've fully relied on has betrayed you. You have nothing left.

So, what do you do now?

Right now, let's focus on what NOT to do.

You WILL NOT:

 Beg for her back

 Forgive her
 Let her lead you on
 Start crying on social media

You're a man, not a wimp. This girl betrayed you, and you are not going to be the guy
who gets walked all over.

You're better than that.

No matter who you are, every single person has cried over losing his woman at least
once. I would be concerned if they didn't.

Therefore, give yourself time to grieve the first day. Becoming numb only prolongs
the process.
Cry to yourself, not to other people.

I'll explain.

See, if you were a girl, everyone would be patting your back right now.

But you're a man. No one gives a shit about you. If you start complaining and crying,
no one will be there for you. It only hurts you to do this.

During this break up, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.

Once you're done crying, it's time to get moving.

The fog has cleared, and you can finally see clearly. All of that noise blinding you from
becoming your true self is gone.

This is where you can rewire your brain to derive happiness from YOURSELF rather
than from your girl.

You need a goal.

This could be getting fit, making more money, or just completely unscrewing yourself
after years of total neglect.

This is where you'll begin to learn how to channel negative emotions into a positive
outcome.

Rage is energy, energy that shouldn't be wasted.

The point here isn't to distract you from your suffering, you can't distract yourself no
matter how hard you try.

When you're distracting yourself, you're only temporarily putting everything you feel
on hold.

You need to understand why you're suffering to move past it.

Look deep down at yourself. What was your fault during this entire relationship?
Perhaps you'd let her see you cry and throw fits every time something went wrong.
Maybe you were overbearing. Seriously, be EXTREMELY critical of yourself here.

Something turned her away from you.

After you understand your fault, understand hers.

What were the red flags you KNEW you should have listened to?

Maybe she cheated on her last boyfriend with you before finally breaking up with
him. Was she abusive? Is her body count in her 20's but you wanted to accept her?

This trauma is important for your brain to learn the patterns that need avoiding for
next time. If you're too much of a wuss to look critically at this situation, then you will
doom yourself to a perpetual cycle of suffering.

Learn how to vet women, and it won't happen again.

You need to be alone during this time. Don't rebound to another abusive girlfriend,
you haven't taken the proper time to transcend your former self.

In a few months, the pain will fade until you barely feel it. As long as you've improved
yourself.

Don't just work out, either. Looking good will make her regret leaving you? Maybe,
maybe not.

Do this for YOURSELF.

Read books, learn a skill, BECOME A BETTER MAN.

I got fit, got my finances in order, and bought my first home

All from losing a girl that didn't make me happy

Remember:

She's not the one. There's no need to get her back now.
Another girl will be just as nice, but learn to derive happiness from yourself.

Understand your suffering, and learn from it.

Become a better man, and leave that girl behind. Godspeed, brothers.
 BE A LIGHTHOUSE, NOT A TUGBOAT

(This thread was NOT my original analogy, it’s quite a common one, so be aware of
that)

Lighthouses and tug boats do the same thing: guide ships back safely to shore.

Keep reading to find out why you should be a lighthouse and avoid wasting your time
on sinking ships.

LIGHTHOUSES

Lighthouses shine bright, standing tall for everyone to see. It does not move to help
those in need, instead it lights up the path.

Whether they choose to follow its path is up to the the ship

The lighthouse saves countless ships just by standing still and shining

TUGBOATS

Tugboats, however, do not sit still and shine. Instead, the humble tugboat goes out of
its way to drag ships unable to make it to shore safely.

The tugboat is worn down, and has many miles. It takes an extensive amount of time
and energy to help just one ship.

WHY YOU SHOULD BE A LIGHTHOUSE

To be a lighthouse is to lead by example. Those that want to follow your path will do
it on their own free will, and as such you will help many more than the tugboat ever
could!

The lighthouse wastes little energy, and lasts for centuries.

WHY YOU SHOULDN'T BE A TUGBOAT

To be a tugboat is to slowly, agonizingly drag people down your path.

Tugboats will spend energy and time just to drag ONE boat to shore.
Tugboats become weathered, and eventually break down and go out of commission.

THE LESSON
Do not waste your time trying to help just one person who doesn't really want it.

Shine brightly and show those that DESIRE your help the path to greatness.

You will eventually help more people than you ever could tugging them one at a time.

SHOW THEM THE WAY!

I was nine years old. My father brought me into the woods with my first ever
shotgun.

"It's time you learned to hunt, son."

My heart was pounding. I didn't want to kill.

Yet, when I saw the rustling in the trees, I took my shot.

I took my first life.I felt complete.

The circle of life is one many humans don't ever truly complete by themselves. This is
a tragedy.

200,000 years of killing our own food, suddenly replaced with a supermarket.

You can never wholly appreciate what you're eating without bringing it to the table
yourself.

Yet, despite our history, many of you are in denial.

Do you think you have truly matured when you can't even kill the animal you're
eating? At least vegans aren't hypocrites.

Do you think your supermarket beef suffered less than the wild animals I take? Mine
tasted freedom.

To appreciate life, you must fully immerse yourself in it.

Life is death. Death furthers life.

As a man, it is your job as the provider to embrace the thrill of the hunt. This feeling is
what has allowed us to thrive for our entire history.

Yet, I still know many of you do not understand. This is because society has forbidden
most of you to be attuned with your own human nature.
You can't comprehend this connection to the world because you have NEVER
EXPERIENCED IT. You've never needed to hunt, so why would you?

You've never been there, camouflaged, watching your prey move without any
knowledge of your existence.

You've never taken your shot or given chase to your prey.

You've never felt the immense pressure before and the great relief after a successful
hunt.

THESE ARE ALL NATURAL

Imagine how amazing it feels to grow a garden, harvesting it to bring to the table to
feed your family.

That compares little to the satisfaction of bringing home the most nutrient rich food
we can devour: meat.

Be a participant, not a spectator.

Don't defy your origins. In that body that's currently staring at this screen, you are the
greatest hunter this world has ever seen.

You can run your prey to exhaustion, you've strength most animals can't
comprehend, and you're smart enough to utilize tools.

You're a predator.

I hope this has convinced some of you to partake in the hunting season this year.

For those of you being held back by laws, I apologize. You may likely never feel what
we feel.
 Evil Saint
MEN’S GOLDEN YEARS
Men, build the foundation of your legacies in your twenties. If you have passed 30
and still don’t know which direction your life is going, then I’m sorry, but this isn’t for
you.

Gather round young men, let us delve into the collective wisdom of the ages. The
world is a ruthless place, it does not care about your feelings. It does not care about
what you deserve. It does not care about how smart you think you are.

It will deal with you without bias and without mercy. It is up to you to make use of
this fixed universal law to your advantage. Get up and go after it. Your twenties are
your golden years, waste them and you waste your life.

Tackle the issue of women first, because if you don’t it will destroy you before you
even start. You may feel you don’t need to focus on women for now. You want to 'be
yourself.' But know that this ignorance will come back to bite, and it will bite hard. It
always does.

People get tied to relationships that end up destroying them because of ignorance.
They make millions and lose it because of women. I won’t mention names. Women
have toppled empires, I won’t name which. All it takes is one woman to destroy your
life’s work.

Unplug yourself from the matrix. I see financially successful people with a deplorable
understanding of women. Learn relationship dynamics (no! you don't understand as
much as you think you do) vomit the garbage society has been feeding you - the first
step on your journey.
Make money. No, you don’t have to do it immediately. You don’t have to earn
$1,000,000 in your first year. If you’re in your 20s now is a good time to start. Don’t
listen to people telling you that there’s time and that you’re young.

If there is time then use that time. Don’t waste it, and then start trying to catch up on
wasted years later, that’s stupid. You don’t have to get it right the first time. You’re
allowed to make mistakes. Keep trying. Fail, but keep trying.

The wealth of knowledge gained from a decade of goal chasing would be invaluable.
Priceless gems to navigate the financial world for the rest of your life. Know that the
success you'll have will come from years of work. Rome was not built in a day.

Make your determination so brutal that you have to crawl your tired bones to bed for
a night's rest. These are the years for the struggle; your rewards will come in time.
Now is not the time for flexing and foolishness. You have the rest of your life to be
foolish.

You don’t have time, time has you. Your lifetime is a tiny fraction from millennia,
don’t delude yourself. Start now, today. Do everything as though your life depends on
it because it does. If you hesitate a lot, stop planning, do, then come back and plan.

Time is an illusion. It deludes men and destroys civilizations. There was a time when
men were warriors, whatever happened that we have the sort of men we have today.
The average male today is a wimp trying to replicate the comfort of the womb.

It’s almost as though he wishes to crawl back to his mother’s arms. He wails and cries
at how society isn’t fair. At how women are evil, and how the world is evil. At how
broke he is. But never at his shortcomings. Never at his inability to get things done.

Men conquered the world ages ago, men are conquering the world today. Don't be
that guy, you can't afford to.

Seek knowledge. I recommend you read a book every two weeks. If you can, read a
book every week. That’s 26-52 books a year depending on which you take. You
cannot trade this for anything. No amount of money can replace this. You have to do
it.

Without knowledge you are bound to come to ruin, there is no debating this. You will
come to ruin without knowledge! Except you get someone with the knowledge to
manage your finances. Your love life, and pretty much everything else. That person is
you.

Your health is very important. Don’t get fat. Work out, eat right, stop the fast foods,
and junks you keep putting into your system, it’s killing you. 1 hour of exercise a day
is an investment you shouldn’t compromise on.

Work out. It fuels you all round. Work out. Stop watching porn! I will not explain.

Do away with people you think are your friends. People who help you waste time.
Drinking, partying, and gossiping (men who gossip disgust me). They are always in
debt, never doing anything useful. They are not your friends.

They are people you think are your friends. They will help you destroy your life and
future in an attempt to have a good time. You don’t need to have a good time now,
you need to have a productive time. Progress is not for later, it is for now.

The longer you stay around these people, the harder it will be for you to get in the
form you need to achieve your goals. Change your circle. Associate with the
achievers, the productive, and the intellectual. They are your friends. Stick with them
and watch yourself grow.

Social media should be a tool for growth. Here is a pro tip: make your presence online
limited, and when you are online, make it count. Stop being the bored guy looking for
entertainment online. Stop being the internet tough guy. Delete TikTok.

Get around to achieving something with your time spent online. There are people
making millions online. And there are people getting in debt trying to showcase a
lifestyle they can’t keep up with. I won’t explain.
Television is not your friend. Instead of watching TV programs in your free time, listen
to audiobooks and podcasts.

No, you can't watch TV on weekends, rest. Stop feeding yourself garbage. Watch
documentaries.

In all your struggles, find peace. Without peace, you labor in vain. Your struggles go to
waste.

A peaceful home is the measure of true success. You gain nothing if you have it all but
can’t sleep at night.
DON'T LISTEN TO ANYONE TELLING YOU THAT YOU'RE NOT *ALPHA* UNLESS
YOU DATE MANY WOMEN AT ONCE

That's just bullshit and propaganda. The narrative isn't complete, and nobody is ready
to tell you that. For the man who is looking to build an empire, one woman is enough.

You don't have to date 5 women to be a 'real man.' "The definition of "real man"
changes according to whatever the one making such definition wants out of you." –
LifeMathMoney

Most of these dating gurus have been terribly hurt in the past. They are now *red
pilled* and their revenge is to date as many women as possible. "Yes, I'm the G, I
sleep with 10 women a week." = "My sense of self worth is tied to how many women
I sleep with."

This is also the reason why young men of nowadays feel they don't have time for a
relationship, but rather need to focus on making money - which they don't. They feel
this way because they have been conditioned to think that if they must date, it must
be 5 women at once.

But really think about it, will dating more trashy women fix the issue of the
trashiness? or you think you can make yourself immune to betrayal because you have
many options. "Haha, if you leave I have many other options, hahaha, I don't care." -
insecure alpha simp. You don't want to get hurt so you date as many as possible. But
not being vulnerable means you don't get to enjoy being in that relationship. You
need to accept that for you to 100% enjoy a relationship, you must be vulnerable.

Life is beautiful because every moment might be our last. There will always be a
chance that what you've been working for will get destroyed. If your romantic
partner does not leave you, they might die. Can you prevent that? Focus on building
meaningful relationships.
When RP dating coaches speak in absolutes, know that they are trying to sell you
something. Polygamy and monogamy depend on your values. Choose the one that
carries those values. You don't have to go against your values because some dude in
a Lamborghini said to do so.

If you are looking to sleep around, enjoy sex and *have a good time* go ahead and
date as many women as you like. The downside is that it will slow you down if you're
trying to make a way for yourself and apart from the sex, this has literally no ROI.

If you're looking for long term commitment - a relationship that will lead to marriage,
I see no reason for you to date more than one woman at a time. Monogamy is not
*classless* Polygamy is not *cool* Your mind has been wired to think this way, rebel.

Instead of trying to date as many women as you can at once, be ruthless with your
vetting. Not every woman deserves you. Do not bring yourself low to date every
feminist, Karen, and onlyfans prostitute because of sex. Vet ruthlessly and give only
worthy ones a chance.

If men only went for women with traditional values and good upbringing, the trash in
trashy women will take itself out - or they don't get married. Either way, society is
better off. Choose only high quality women.

I wouldn't advice any young man to go after many women at once. Act in your own
self interest and try to further your mission. One woman is neurotic enough, why
would you want three? This quite literally translates to more neuroticism and
problems in your life.

If you're in for the sex, then be my guest. Just make sure you've made as much
progress as you want in your life, because I can assure you once you start dating
many women, you're pretty much gonna be stagnated - if you don't decline (women
can be a burden). Good luck.
 IF YOU'VE NEVER FELT LIKE GIVING UP YOU'RE NOT TRYING HARD ENOUGH

The only mission with embarking on is the one that seems impossible. Unreasonable
goals, insane levels of commitment, and obsession with the journey. This is the way.

Alas, if you embark on such a journey, you are sure to have your doubts along the
way. Look at any heroic story, the hero encounters numerous opposition and
sometimes self doubt. This is a sign you are aspiring to worthy goals.

You'll have no reason to doubt yourself if you aim to do what everybody else does —
the normal. To be extraordinary is to be everything, but normal. You can't have
insane results if you're not insane in your pursuit.
 WHAT IF YOU KNEW MORE ABOUT A PERSON THAN HE KNOWS ABOUT
HIMSELF?

The answer to this question is the core of all studies on human relations and
psychology.

People don't know why they do what they do. If you, first, understand yourself, then
understand others, you will inevitably rise to the top in any given field.

White people joining BLM protests. A desperate need to feel like they belong to
something. What are you protesting? You spit on your ancestors by joining a group of
people with a victim mentality to blame your own people for something your
ancestors did to their ancestors.

They created porn because they knew that although it was nothing close to the real
thing, many would prefer to wallow in their fantasy than actually go out and pursue
their desires.

PUAs get the girls. The girls say they want *good* guys, but they run away from
them. Then they cry when the *bad* guys break their hearts. When they talk about
what they want in a man, they describe a *good* guy. But they always keep running
back to the bad guys.

The media is more interested in feeding you negative stories, because they know
people enjoy a thrill more than hearing that *all is well* They censor, twist, and cut
out all positivity because they know what you want to hear, and it's not good news.

Marvel and DC fans, always at war. The two companies keep making money as the
fans continue to war on the internet while each awaits the next in the series of their
*favorite* superhero franchise. Desperate need to feel among. To belong to a group.

Buy every brand of iPhone that comes out because you're high status — even though
it puts a strain on your finances. Signaling wealth instead of actually being wealthy.
Apple knows. What to do? New iPhone every year.
They buy because it makes them feel better about themselves, not because they
need it.

They spend recklessly without feeling bad because they only have one life and it must
be enjoyed. Also excuse to seek pleasure without paying the price. Shortcuts because
life is short (and they are lazy and lack vision).

"I'm better than you because everybody knows your failings, but mine are hidden."
Criticizing those in the arena while standing from the sideways because it makes
them feel better about their miserable lives.

If you're going to ignore anything, it shouldn't be human dynamics and psychology.

Study. Understand. Rise above.
 GOOD AND EVIL ARE A MYTH

For neither is a universal truth. What is good to you might be the greatest evil to
another. The man who murdered your father has been sentenced to death by
hanging. Justice, good to you. But he leaves behind two sons and a widow. Not good
to them.

You give a hungry man food and money. You support the beggar in the small ways
you can, help where you can. Charity, good to you. But by doing so you destroy them.
You encourage complacency in a person who is capable. Crippling his mind with the
prospect of an easy life.

You accept a cheating wife. Forgiveness, good to you. But by doing so you destroy
one corner of the fabric that holds society together. Encouraging degeneracy. Yes.
Very generous and kind of you. But by emasculating yourself society suffers. Posterity
suffers.

You take from the rich and give to the needy. How honorable. Looking out for the
weak ones. Good to you. But you encourage complacency and entitlement in people
who are not deserving while robbing those who work for what they have.

Nearly every action that can be termed *good* can be seen in an evil light, and vice
versa. Even evil thoughts can lead to good actions. Do not live in terms of good and
evil, it's too fickle a principle to live by.
 THIS WILL SHOW YOU WHY YOU DON'T MATTER AND WHY THAT WILL BE
YOUR GREATEST WEAPON THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE

If you died today the universe wouldn't stop. This shows how insignificant you are on
the grand scale. The universe wouldn't even take note of your death. It would have
replaced you before you're even gone.

Even Earth, which is one of the small planets in our Galaxy wouldn't stop moving, and
neither will the people in it. At most people pay homage to you and depending on
how much impact you made, you'd be talked about for a certain amount of time.

This is not depressing. It is your reason for revenge. Your revenge is to carve your
name in the fabric of the existence of posterity. Force them to remember your name
and stick out like a sore thumb for thousands of years.

You have no chip on your shoulders so if you fail, you only disappoint yourself. You
have nobody waiting for your greatness which makes it all the more satisfying to
force them to see it — for a very long time.

In times past, now, and forever to come, this is all there is and this is all there ever
will be. Man's revenge is to be remembered. Those who aren't have failed in all
aspects of their existence.

The more dire your situation at the start, the greater your greatness. Those who get
to 100 from 0 will be remembered more than those who get to 100 from 50. You're
very poor? Good. Time to shove greatness down everybody's throats — whether they
like it or not.

Whenever you get sidetracked, remember death. You shall die. The worst regret you
could have on your death bed is remembering you did not achieve greatness and that
your name will fade like one written on sand.

You came into the world without a purpose, and easily replaceable. Failing to have
your revenge makes you a mistake. You would have confirmed you were truly
meaningless. Make the world suffer to find your replacement by raising the bar so
high few can reach it.

Everywhere you go give people a reason to remember you. Let people have
something to talk about concerning you when you leave a room. Do not be ignored.

You're not trying to be better than any man. You are trying to tear a mark in the
fabric of existence. You don't compete with those aiming at the shallow: money for
its own sake, fame for its own sake, girls and partying, who has the most expensive
cars etc. Transcend.

Throughout your time on earth, remember your insignificance. But let no man tell
you about it, only you can. If a man puts you down, make him remember you
throughout his life. The memory of you must haunt him for years to come.

In a world filled with insignificant people and easily replaceable individuals, the
greatest revenge is to be remembered and hard to replace when you're gone.
 CHARLATANS

Recognizing high level cunning and mischievousness masqueraded as friendship

and empathy.

I use the word charlatan for lack of a more accurate word. Charlatans don't care
about you, they want something from you. They don't care how they get it, but since
they can't go around beating people and taking what they want, they resort to
cunning.

Everybody has come across someone like that, seemed like a friend, turned out they
weren't. If you haven't, better be ready when you do, because you will. These people
are always above average intelligence, otherwise, they practice this so often they
become very good at it.

I've come across exactly 3 people in my life who displayed such level of intelligence
and deception (without my initial notice). Here are four steps they use to get what
what they want.

BUILD TRUST (fast):

Charlatans try to build trust fast. They don't have time to spend months with you
because they aren't really interested in you. They would rather get what they want
from you so they can be off to their next victim.

They try to make you feel like an old friend. You might have just met two days ago,
but they are already talking about going surfing together, going to a party, wanting to
see where you live, how's your love life, and surprisingly you two share so much in
common.

They want you to feel comfortable around them fast, so they can make their next
move. They immediately seem to pick interest in your hobbies and the things you
like. "Oh you like to play chess, teach me I've always wanted to learn." They want you
to trust them — fast.
ELICIT EMPATHY:

Once they sense you're beginning to trust them, they start trying to elicit empathy.
They don't do this directly, "Oh, the house rent has been overdue two months now.
Can you imagine? And I make a lot of money from work, but they haven't paid me six
months now."

They don't ask you for anything immediately. Just trying to get you to sympathise. "I
just got admission, it's been the best thing that has happened to me in years.
Semester is about to start, but I've only been able to raise half the amount needed. I
don't know what to do."

"My girlfriend left me. I'm not sure how I'll cope, I don't even want to sleep at home.
It reminds me of her." Once you sympathise with them (ignorantly), they have you.

CREATE A NEED FOR RECIPROCATION:

They still won't ask for anything. In fact they'll try and do something for you. The
charlatan pays attention to people's innermost desires and works on them. If you're
broke, they'll take you out for lunch, buy you a drink, chat and laugh.

If you're having issues with dating, they'll offer to introduce you to a girl (and they
will). If you're having emotional trauma, they'll offer to stay over at your place and
play video games with you. You'll feel like you OWE them, and that's exactly how they
want you to feel.

Once they've created a need for you to reciprocate (because that's what friends do)
they'll make their next move. ***A charlatan doesn't get angry at you. They don't ask
directly, and they don't make you feel like there is a risk in helping them.

THE DISTRESS CARD:

Next, they pull out the distress card. They amplify the issue they used to elicit
empathy from you. They will make it seem like they are about to die because of it and
since they've been able to elicit empathy from you and you trust them (to some
extent) you'll most likely feel sympathy now and a need to help them out. After all,
they are your friend. Your mind confirms this because of what they did to you to
create a need for reciprocation. They've recreated years of (supposed) friendship and
trust in one or two days.

Sometimes it takes a week. It all depends on how much time you give them. They
could do this in a day. What they are after could be your money, your girlfriend, or
for you to do them some favor you normally wouldn't consider doing to anyone.

Most people fall for the DISTRESS CARD. They just "feel like they have to help this
friend in need." "After all, we have so much in common and what kind of friend
would I be if I can't help someone who *cares for me* when they are in trouble."

That's how people borrow thousands to help a charlatan pay his house rent (which
you'll never see the house), his school fees (when he's a graduate), or end up having
their girl taken from them at a moment's notice.

***This is a bonus fifth step, and they don't usually use this unless the distress card
doesn't work.

GUILT YOU:

They'll start talking about how *Harry* a good friend of theirs would have helped
them if he was still alive.

Since they've recreated friendship and trust, you will immediately start feeling guilty.
Like you're a *bad* friend. *Harry* is a better friend than you!!! The once boisterous
energy around them will begin to dampen and you'll want to rekindle it and console
them.
Most people don't survive the guilt step. "I know your school fees is $25,000, but
here, just manage this $5,000 I'm sorry I couldn't get more." BAM! ---Log file: victim
no. 285---

Once they get what they want, they may either choose to stay and milk you dry, or
disappear. It all depends on what it is they got from you. "I'll be traveling tomorrow,
but you can stay over at my house. My girlfriend will cook for you." BAM! ---Log file:
victim no. 34---

Charlatans usually target highly emotional people and they appear emotional
themselves, but they are not. This doesn't mean they only target emotional people.
Anybody ignorant to their motives could fall victim.

The above illustration shows a short term strategy. There are those that take months,
especially when what they are after is substantial (millions). They use the same
strategy, but everything is amplified. Bigger favors, more time with you, and longer to
pull the distress card.

Some are on the internet selling dreams to people, others you can find IRL
masquerading as friends. Root them out, beat them at their game. Don't fall victim.
THE MISERY OF ADDICTION: is that it offers a short term solution/escape to/from a
deeper problem, and after engaging in it, it leaves you feeling empty and still reminds
you that the problem has not been solved. Yet, the same short term solution is
offered the next day.

It offers the problem as the solution itself. Your addiction to social media is an
indication of a problem with RL interactions. What do you do? More social media.

Your watching porn is an indication of your failure in the dating arena. What do you
do? More porn. Addicted to motivational speakers, what do you do? More
motivational videos.

The addiction has a way of recycling itself by feeding on your weakest emotions. By
feeling despair, misery, and hopelessness, you make yourself powerless against the
next wave of engagement with your dreaded addiction.

If you don't stop feeling sorry for yourself, how then can you get the strength to fight
it when it comes? The first step to breaking any addiction is to first stop feeling sorry
about it. Take responsibility. Then strategize.

Get rid of the victim mentality and you give yourself the strength to fight your
addictions. Without this first step, you are a like a sitting duck fighting off a lion.
 IF YOU WANT TO KNOW THE QUALITY OF A MAN'S THOUGHTS, HAVE A
CONVERSATION WITH HIM. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW DISCIPLINED HE IS,
LOOK AT HIS LIFE NOW. SHOCKING AS IT MAY BE, THE TWO CAN BE THE
EXACT OPPOSITE OF EACH OTHER.

A man can be brilliant and yet lack discipline, and thus be unable to change his life for
the better. A man can also be of average intelligence, recognize intellectuals, follow
their principles, and because he is disciplined, end up changing his life for the better.

One thing a lot of people fail to understand is that intelligence =/= discipline. You may
be smart, but without the discipline to enforce your ideas IRL you won't go far. Your
knowledge is only as valuable as its application.

Wisdom is using knowledge in ways that further your course. Wisdom > Knowledge
Discipline is enforcing ideas IRL. Without discipline, your knowledge is not useful to
you.

This brings us back to my core belief that the ability to get things done is the greatest
skill you will ever learn.
A MAN ROBS HIMSELF OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN, AND GROW INTO A
BETTER BEING WHEN HE DOES NOT ACCEPT THE PAIN OF BEING BROKEN. TO
REJECT THE PAIN, HE MUST HAVE A SHIELD TO HIDE BEHIND.

We all go through hard times in love, relationships break us all. There is no one man
who goes through life without experiencing the pain of love. Some experience the
pain of never being loved.

Some experience the pain of betrayal. Some experience the pain of betraying. In
brotherhood and in love, all men suffer this pain.

This pain is what makes all men, for better or for worse. It is the most acute of all,
sharper than a piercing sword. You must not reject it. You must never run from it.
Accept. Learn. Move.

Most men think resorting to extreme manipulation and 'dark' personalities because
love is *shite* is the answer to the pain. These are the men who rejected the pain.

Love will break you. It will hurt you. It hurts all men. It breaks all men. To reject this
pain is to turn love into a completely calculative endeavor to the point where it loses
its essence. Men who do this think they can outsmart the feels.

When your interactions with another being becomes transactional. When you can no
longer trust another. When you refuse to let yourself feel (in love) its beauty will
elude you. The fact is that love is not logical, but to enjoy it you must know what to
avoid.

If it were we would never have been broken in the first place. We do it because it's
worth doing. Let the pain flow through you. Learn. Give yourself time to heal.

There are people who have dedicated years to learning so they can teach you how to
recover from this and still be a man of character. They do this to preserve love, not to
show you that it doesn't exist.
Enlightenment brings suffering. To know that a person will leave you, to know you
may not see them the next morning (when that person means the world to you) is
torture. Yet that is the beauty of life and love.

Why do we cherish life when we could very well be dead any moment? When the
next might be our last. Why then do we expect different from love? Treat both the
same way. A matter of the NOW. They are both enjoyed when you live in the now.

Don't ignore the future, just don't live in it. Don't reject the past, just don't dwell on
it. Live in the now. Let the pain seep in. Learn from it. Grow because of it.

Pick up your broken pieces because you may be yet to experience the most beautiful
moments of your life in love. The broken ones can fix themselves. But another may
not be able to fix what someone else broke.

If you let yourself turn into a monster because "I was hurt in the past" then you lose
twice, because your pain was for nothing after all. The ones who come out of the pain
victoriously learn principles to live by.

These principles are the *truth* to all loving and prosperous relationships. I will
mention a few.

- The man is not to be considered equal to the woman (she is his)

- He shall lead her

- She will submit to his leadership

- A strong man = prosperous relationship

- A submissive woman = prosperous relationship

- A strong man + a submissive woman = eternal bliss - Broken people can't love back

- You many not be able to fix a broken person (let them go)

- Fix yourself before you love another (else you will bleed on the one you love)
These are but a few of the governing dynamics of a successful relationship. Rejecting
these leads to pain. Accepting them will not guaranteed you no heart break.

But if you want to give yourself a chance to love, you must abide by them. There's no
need to resort to arbitrary rules such as:

-*a man must sleep with at least 25 women a week, or else he's not a man*-

-*A man must never have one person he's dating*- For the man who is working to
build an empire, one woman is enough. The narrative today teaches you what you
want to hear, not what you need to hear.

Because men want to have freedom to do as they wish and not be held accountable
for anything. Do not be a man without character. Let the pain change you for the
better.

Let it be the reason your next relationship partner wakes up every day thanking the
universe for you. Learn. Love. Love is universal. Love is illogical. It's feels. But it's
worth it.

Lastly, be grateful if you find an unbroken soul, for you may not be able to fix the one
that has been broken.
 THIS IS 99% OF TIMES

When people leave you they expect (want) to bump into you in the future and see
you worse than you were when they left. Rarely do people wish you good - especially
at the end of a relationship - when they say "I wish you all the best."

It's not even about hating you. People don't want to feel like they made the wrong
choice by leaving you. They need confirmation that leaving was the best thing to do,
and that they were right.

Think of it this way If you're in a better place long after they left you, then they
automatically translate it to mean one of two things: - they were the toxic one - they
made a mistake by leaving you In either case, it's a loss for them, and they don't want
to feel that way.

Getting confirmation that they were right - by seeing you worse than before - is how
people cope with all the bad relationship choices they make. It's nothing personal, it's
a lifestyle.

This is even more so when that person isn't working on improving their life. Then they
really want to see you fail. You'd be surprised, but this is also the reason so many
people remain *friends* after a breakup. They are just waiting to see who ends up
worse.

Cut off all ties. Work on your goals. Forget them, let them keep wondering what
happened to you, and forget who was right or who was wrong. Don't spend a
moment of your life on this meaninglessness.
 WHEN A CHILD GROWS UP WITHOUT A STRONG FATHER FIGURE, HE HAS TO
LEARN DISCIPLINE ON HIS OWN. CHILDREN WHO GROW UP IN HOSTILE
ENVIRONMENTS LEARN THIS FAST. CHILDREN WHO GROW UP IN RELATIVELY
SAFE ENVIRONMENTS DON'T.

When he has to learn discipline on his own the outcome is always sub-par, unless he
gets himself into situations where thorough discipline is his only way out (alive). "If
you don't deliver the cash by the end of the week, you're dead. Now go sell that dope
boy!"

He has no choice but to learn: - Timeliness - Punctuality - Grit - And how to interact
with people What we call "street smarts." In reality it's just a thorough way of living,
where a person has to step up to it or die (in the streets).

That's why when these kids - from the street - are pitched against the home grown
ones who have been protected from the outside world all their lives, the street kids
win. Be it in the corporate world, artistic, music industry, politics, you name it.

They develop the necessary qualities for success and are therefore miles ahead of the
homeboy. It is the job of the father of the homeboy to teach him these lessons.

Take him:
- camping
- hunting
- hiking
- swimming
- mountaineering

Teach him:
- to fight
- eat right
- work out
- deal with addictions Show him discipline, grit, focus, and be all those things as an
example of whom to follow.

If your kid grows up in the streets, he will either learn these things or he might not
make it out alive. If your kid grows up in a safe environment (with you present) you
must teach him what is necessary. Give him the advantage his environment deprives
him.

These lifelong skills and lessons will show him how cruel and cold the world is. The
bond you too will share while learning will show him that true brotherhood exists.
Two important lessons for every man to learn.

When he grows up with his mother alone (single mother) he can neither learn these
lessons, nor can she teach them to him. She herself does not know the importance of
them.

Instead what he learns is to be overly emotional, develops a fluky nature and double
standards, and most times carries a victim mentality on his shoulders wherever he
goes. He picks these up from a broken woman.

He has absolutely no grit, and no discipline whatsoever. These are the sort of boys
that grow up to watch porn, and also write articles online on the health benefits of
masturbating once a day.

PS. They preach equality of the sexes because they can't see the difference between
a man and a woman. Men who've survived life threatening circumstances don't have
to be told, they know a woman can never be equal to a man. You don't even have to
teach them that.

If you're a kid that grew up without a strong father figure, know that you're not
alone. The world may have broken you in ways know one knows, whether the streets
scarred you, or the comfort of the home killed the animal in you.
It's up to you to make the choice today to change for good and never come back. It's
hard, but once you start on the journey you will find its doable. You have the power
to change your life. Let this be the wakeup call you've been waiting for.

Let this be the sign for you to change your life for the better. Time to step up to the
plate and be a man of character and discipline. For the street boy has discipline but
not character, while the homeboy lacks both. Good luck!

How to push yourself forward, stand the greatest of adversities and overcome it.

In times of despair,

When the odds are completely against us,

When everything is falling apart,

When all possibilities of overcoming adversity seem lost,

What do we have left to stand for?

What do we have to face adversity, even if it seems like it is about to crush us?

The answer lies in the depths of our being, far beyond our ego, far beyond the

Let’s venture ourselves into the depths of our soul.

helpful for humankind?”

Would you let their effort, their sacrifice, their life be for nothing? Would you let it be

Depending on how wounded we are, we may have to visit various regions of our self;

For the heroic potential is fragmented inside our being.

Those fragments are our painful and truthful flaws.

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙦𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙝 and 𝙥𝙖𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙨

The questions we ask ourselves will light the path as we advance,

And the intensity of the pain or negative feeling will signal if we are going in the right
direction.
Ask yourself:

What am I embarrassed about myself?

What have I been avoiding?

What am I pathetic at?

Why do I envy x?

Could it be because they have something I lack?

Etc.

Remember, the pain is the compass:

The more it hurts, the more you need to conciliate that truth.

𝙁𝙤𝙧𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙞𝙘 𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙚

Now that we have gathered the fragments of our heroic soul,

is time to get into the forge of the colossus and hammer out our heroic potential.

This is accomplished by improving our flaws once we have accepted them.

𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙧𝙩

Even if it’s by little, but start.

Aim towards a goal which you consider worthy of your effort,

A goal that ideally transcends your being (I’ll link a thread related to this at the end of
this one).

Or at least that constitutes an improvement.

Once you see you are capable of improving, you will get better;

Hence, you will be able to take over more audacious goals.

The path may be painful, you will be embarrassed by yourself, you will fail,

You may even have to scale down goals… but keep going

Because greatness,

The heroic potential,

Is only obtained by the constant pursuit of it.

And by constantly doing that, 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙩𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙘𝙚!

The hero is the one that goes into the darkest places and extracts value for the world!

You may have done it to a lesser degree,

But remember … 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙬𝙖𝙨 𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙖𝙣 𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚.

If you continue this process of constant improvement, your heroic force will also
improve.

And there will come a time when you will be able to accomplish something worthy of
a hero,

And when you do…

“𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙗𝙚 𝙖𝙡𝙤𝙣𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙤𝙙𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙛𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚.”

― Charles Bukowski, Factotum

So… Modernity often offers us two choices:

Blue pill: weak beta guy which is afraid of women and actually of the world in
general.

Red pill: strong, alpha dude which gives a shit about other’s opinions and gets laid
with every girl he wants.
You know what? Both are SHIT;

As with every male archetype,

Those two are underdeveloped, childish behaviors.

The ones that follow either of those two paths are literally immature teenagers.

As with every male archetype developed into maturity and virtue…

The highest man is a stable contradiction.

Maturity breathes understanding of the consequences of your actions and the

responsibility that comes with those.

Hence, the mature man understands that by being either a red-pilled or a blue-pilled,

You contribute towards the hedonistic and nihilistic path of society.

The only good way to harness this,

Is to integrate both sides, their virtue and shadow… and to channel those for the
good.

Mature men traits:

They are confident, secure and strong men… Therefore they are not needy and weak
when it comes to women,

Neither do they hide their insecurity behind the attempt to amplify their masculinity
through “looking like a bad guy” or trying to fuck every pretty woman out there.

They know that by not respecting a father’s daughter they contribute to the decay of
society,

They know this is childish, insecure behavior and that it only contributes to nihilism
and hedonism.

They understand that the backbone of society is the family,

Therefore, they contribute to this narrative.

They aren’t playing short term games that are harmful long term.

They understand their role and responsibility with society,

They understand the fact that the individual creates society,

Therefore they know neutrality doesn’t exist.

The neutral role is just another contributor to the decay of society…

Great men took the red pill but understood its implications and the responsibility that
comes with possibility and power.

They have values and ethics, they do not bend to everyone neither do they abuse
their power.

They are a stable paradox, a civilized monster,

A man of virtue

Whether you like it, or not, the world is a dark, merciless, and chaotic place. This may
sound negative, but it is quite the contrary, because everything has an inherent
duality within.

The darkness is what makes the light beautiful.

If things aren’t going entirely well in the world because there is chaos, darkness,
difficulty…

This means there is beauty, light, order… and 𝙥𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙖𝙡.

This means we haven’t reached our higher state of being, we have to bring light into
the darkness, we have to bring order out of chaos, we have work to do, we have to
create.

(Quite often, the most luminous light comes out of the depths of darkness)

You have an aim, a passion, something that you want to do in this world, something
that you gravitate towards which the world needs, even craves for.

Something that you sort of want to “burn yourself with”, a mountain worthy of
climbing, even if it takes you years,

A fire that lies within each individual,

In some it burns with fervor, in others, it is a minimal flame, almost imperceptible, in

some cases it is not even noticed by its faint flame…

𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙚𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚

So, you have to fuel that fire.

There are things you like, things you gravitate towards even if is just a little, they
exist, the clue is always there, be on the watch.

This world is messy and full of potential, hence, you have the capacity to bring order,
to create,

To bring something into existence that will improve the world, that will bring you joy,
that will constitute something meaningful.

Just pay attention to that which you gravitate towards, that which you find
interesting, of uncommon beauty,

Something that stands out in plain sight;

And that in conjunction with that which needs to be addressed in this world, which
holds potential, which you regard as important…

That could ignite the forgotten fire within you.

There are beautiful, but fragile individuals around you…

Maybe your mother or father, who loved and took care of you as a child.

Maybe your son or nephew, naive and full of potential, with a whole life forward.

Individuals who we must protect from the cruelty of the world, Beautiful, but at the
end a cruel world.

This demands you to bring out the best of you, to live out to your potential, to take
total responsibility for your thoughts, words, and actions.

It is something that may sound easy or plain obvious, maybe something that some
people take for granted;

But have you really took complete responsibility for yourself?

Do you firmly believe that?

There are lots of guys that are embarrassed about this fact, or that are even
traumatized about it, resulting in them not confronting reality as it is.

Deluding themselves with whatever justification they can find about why they’re not
completely self-reliable.

But I tell you, please;

Think about those you love.

For them, and for that ideal/purpose that ignites the fire within you… leave your ego
aside and ask yourself:

Am I completely responsible for my own life?

Am I a truly and completely self-reliable individual?

No matter your answer, you will still come to the same logical conclusion:

𝙄 𝙃𝘼𝙑𝙀 𝙏𝙊 𝘽𝙀𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙀 𝘼 𝙃𝙔𝙋𝙀𝙍-𝘾𝙊𝙈𝙋𝙀𝙏𝙀𝙉𝙏 𝙄𝙉𝘿𝙄𝙑𝙄𝘿𝙐𝘼𝙇

Just imagine, how your surrounding would be if you do that if you become the best
being you could.

An individual who is entirely responsible for himself and for his loved ones, because
they are worth it, they deserve the best in the world, and more importantly…

You really, really, don’t want to see tragedy breaking their soul and blowing out their
fire.

I invite you to practice the following exercises (and to do it in the most detailed and
vividly imagined way possible):

If you are not responsible for yourself, if you depend on others…

Think about the person you depend on the most.

Now think about what would happen if they suddenly die,

Or if they lose their ability to provide for you because of an accident or a tragic
experience,

Or even more importantly… if they have to depend on someone because of this tragic
experience.

What if they need to depend on you now?

Will you wait for that to happen?

Will you wait for tragedy and trauma to knock on your door to start doing 𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏
𝙔𝙊𝙐 𝙈𝙐𝙎𝙏 𝘽𝙀 𝘿𝙊𝙄𝙉𝙂?

Just imagine how hellish that situation could be like.

Now imagine the opposite…

Imagine you start doing what you know you must be doing, imagine yourself
developing hypercompetent traits;
Imagine where you could be two years from now if you start and continue to do what
you need to do,

The goals you could accomplish, something worthwhile, something that fulfills life
with meaning;

Imagine yourself providing the best for those you love, the quality of life they
deserve, the education, the experiences and joy that will remind them of the beauty
of life.

If you want a brighter future, you need to take extreme ownership of what happens
to you and how you conduct your life, you:

Have to get rid of your ego, of comfort, of easiness, stop wasting your time, start
addressing your flaws and the things that really matter;

You have to be willing to go through hell, to sacrifice a lot of yourself and to suffer…

But suffering for a greater cause, for something that goes above and beyond you,

This, my friend, is not only the cause of highest novelty and the greatest source of
purpose, but also the ultimate joy.

Every day, remind yourself of your why, of why you’re doing this, of why the difficulty
is worth it, of why you are capable, and YOU WILL go through hell and become a
monster; A monster full of darkness, but to protect and create light.

This is bloody serious!

If you want to do something of value, become a hypercompetent individual who

takes extreme ownership of everything.

Just imagine the kind of man you could become,

What you could accomplish,

The flame that you could ignite in the world.

 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘀:

𝗕𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗻 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲

Modernity has granted us with plenty of opportunities;

Opportunities that permeate the horizon with potential,

but it also raises the possibility of consequences, therefore, responsibility.

This is something that quite inadvertently passes through the mind of modern men;

Which often transmutes possibility and potential, into his own doom!

The cure to this, I believe, comes by reflecting upon the main two pathways that
modernity offers to us.

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙛 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙣 𝙇𝙞𝙛𝙚

Contrary to what we try to depict on social media,

Our life is mostly constituted by sadness, agony, and desperation;

This, because we have created civilization to bring security, but we have let passivity
lurk into our soul.

Passivity, which breathes conformism.

It is normal to think that in order to keep our sanity, our time out of work is best
spend on relaxation, resting, consuming;

Therefore, playing games, watching TV, talking about that which has no relevance, is
considered “normal.”

And, at the root of our normality, of our “sanity.”

By talking about the comings and goings of life, by living with no further aspirations
beyond the day,

We have already embraced death.

Thus, making us feel hollow, desperate, full of sorrow, pain, sadness.

It is no surprise that even with all our prosperity, the worst feelings are the ones
skyrocketing in modern times

Listening to normal people; that would be true madness,

For they hate life, they have surrendered it, they have given up on it, they are dead in
life.

The normality of which I just talked about is only a standard of modern times

Before the industrial age and the advent of modern technology, men were
accustomed to struggling with survival 24/7.Now we are free from this daily struggle,

This opened the gates of potential, But this means it also did with the gates of
comfort…

Make sure to not dilute yourself in it, for you will become one with the herd, you will
embrace the material, the finite; 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙞𝙡𝙡 𝙬𝙚𝙡𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙙𝙚𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙞𝙛𝙚

𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙤𝙛 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜

Which is also called “the path of the virtuous”, “of men of great deeds”.

It is called the path of being because its primordial characteristic is that you are
present, going with the flow of life;

But living for the transcendent, you understand that boredom, passivity, comfort…
That’s a modern mental illness.

Therefore; you are acting, you are at the siege of life, not waiting for greatness to
knock on your door, but rather by manifesting it with your daily actions.

You understand the only safe path there is to life, is the path of death.

You understand your mortality, the finite quality of your existence in this material
world.

Therefore, you decide that no matter the odds, the siege of life in the pursuit of
infinity, of beauty, of that which you value the most, of those who you love the most,

On your craft, on your children.

Is what makes life worth living, 𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩

So, as I told you before…

Do not pay attention to those who are dead in life,

Those who have clipped their own wings,

And those who due to their hatred of life…

Want to clip the wings of others.

Follow the path of life, the path of being.

Burn yourself with your craft, with your passion,

Enhance the life of others,

Be a light for the world,

A torch in the darkness.

A man of greatness, of virtue.

“Is considered to be among the greatest writers of short fiction in history.”

He was born in a town full of “drunk, idle, lazy, and illiterate.”

Had a physically abusive father,

His two older brothers abandoned the family when he was 15,

Then he became the main focus of his father’s abuse;

Shortly, his family store went bankrupt and his father ran away to Moscow with the
rest of his family.

He was left abandoned forced to fend for himself at the age of 16.
Chekhov’s childhood was hellish, full of difficulties.

He could have drowned himself in resentment and hatred,

But he did not!

He wanted to break the chain,

He knew there was more to life,

So he came to a resolution…

As RobertGreene describes Chekhov’s determination:

“The answer to everything was work and love, work, and love.”

He became a tutor to support himself will attending school,

He graduated with such honors that was offered a scholarship in Moscow’s medical
school.

This gave him the opportunity to reunite with his family,

And he did so with the idea of breaking their chain of dysfunction,

So he forgave his parents and acknowledged the difficult lives they also had.

He enrolled in medical school,

While attending medical school, in his free time,

He wrote and published short stories and articles to help alleviate his family’s
economic struggle.

He was able to excel at life because he let go of hatred and resentment,

And more importantly…

He focused his attention on creating and studying,

On building the expertise to excel at life through passion for his craft;

This gave him the possibility to rise above his hellish circumstances, and create such a
feeling of self-worth.

Your situation is not different from others, your family is not an obstacle…

The problem is your inability to rise above your circumstances!

So, develop expertise, even if is by little,

Dedicate the maximum of the little (or much) time you have to work on your craft.

Do not create expectations over others, do not try to change them, accept them as
they are…

Frame them as phenomena and learn from their acting without attachment;

This will give you the power to rule over yourself and improve even in a toxic
environment.

Remember what Chekhov did:

Forgive and accept others, let them be…

Learn, create, produce, become one with your work…

This will give you the capacity to endure and arise from your circumstances!

Do not despair!

There is a lot more to life, fight for a brighter future!

YOU DECIDE WHETHER YOUR BLOODLINE PROGRESSES OR REGRESSES
Failure to realize this will result in your bloodline being lost in the sands of time.

You have no control on which bloodline you are birthed into, and what characters
you will be playing with during your developmental years.

However you do have control on what to make of the bonds you form, and are able
to set the stage for those that come after you.

If you came from scarcity, this is your chance to give your progeny a life in which you
hoped for.

If you came from abundance, this is an opportunity for your young to have
lionhearted courage as they believe themselves to have divine right.

The torch must be passed on.

A solid way to ignite the flame of growth is to self legislate.

You must become the example of how one conducts himself.

 Not enslaved by pleasure

 Only acts if it’s beneficial for his development or is in the interest of his clan
 Wages war against his innermost fears

This journey is treacherous as you rise to be the leader of your clan- as many other
clans and inner members are all fighting for dominance. It is in your best interest to
keep it close to your heart- the reason why you choose to fight. For those who come
before you to rest peacefully knowing that their family is in competent hands. For
those who come after you to look up at the stars with determination in their eyes.
For you have built the platform for them to launch your Dynasty into heights unheard
of.

It is now time for you to pull the sword out of the stone, and for you to become the
Hero of your bloodline.

GO FORTH AND RISE

INSIGHTS FROM MOWING A NEIGHBORS’ LAWN:

1. In order to cut the tall grass, you must push it down to expose the roots
2. You can mow all the small patches all you’d like- the field of tall grass will
always be staring menacingly at you
3. Don’t think about it, just go in with your lawnmower. You’ll find the way once
you’re in the field.
4. All it takes is a few swipes with an iron file to sharpen the blade *just enough*
to get the job done.
5. “Your ass is grass and I’m gonna mow it” mentality is king
6. Making order out of the chaos of nature demands a surplus of masculine
energy and therefore is an esoteric T booster
7. Fulfillment is knowing that you put your energy to good use, many ways to
waste it but knowing you had the inner strength to do what’s right is heavenly.
8. (the most important) At some point in the game, you’re going to have to blaze
your own trail. There is no guarantee and there’s no foolproof guides-
besides..isn’t it more fulfilling knowing that you got to where you want to be
with your own will?

 PULLING YOUR SWORD OUT OF THE STONE – ACTUALIZING YOUR GREATNESS

In every story of the greats, they had something special about them.

A sacred bloodline, a heroic desire, an exclusive weapon, etc. You have your own
special weapon, for like the greats- you too are human. What is your special
weapon? Your will. When you fully express your will without any inhibitions- you too
have also unlocked the hidden powers of your mind that becomes fully receptive to
novel solutions.

You may ask yourself: how can I strengthen my will?

There is many ways up this hill, and this is my way.

1. BUILD YOUR BODY

The body is tied to the mind, it is not a coincidence that the most cynical and morally
negative are those that are physically inactive while those of higher vitality are
physically active.

Do away with gluttony and sloth, champion, and lift/sprint

2. BUILD YOUR MIND

The beauty of this world is that it is ever expanding, and the external world is a
reflection of your internal world. You are illimitable. Mastering your focus and
learning multiple crafts while seeing the common principles is key to having power in
this world

3. BUILD YOUR WILL

You are in good shape and are well read, what’s next? Start using your will to achieve
novel goals.

 Pick a unique goal

 Make the necessary preparations
  Use your will to see it through- the more resistance you break; the stronger
your will becomes

You’ll notice that your will can be strengthened in any endeavor you venture into,
this is by design of the higher powers. Everything is a test of your will, the sooner you
internalize this; the sooner you can honor your bloodline.

The young boy wished to become a hero and so the Source granted him a chest.

The boy, without hesitation, began to open the chest and invisioned in his mind that
he will be granted a special weapon and or power, but much to his surprise:

Inside the chest lay a scroll of scenarios that will force the user to undergo a great
deal of stress and call into question how strong their resolve is.

The Source told the boy “The big secret is that you already have what you need to
become a legend. You are the sword and all you need now is the experience to
sharpen you.”

The young boy nodded and grasped the contents within the chest. The resolve within
flourished, causing his heart beat with vigor. He took his first step..
 DEBTLIFTS
A quick story on humility

Alexander the Great approached a river crossing where he met a philosopher that
would not move

One of his men yells to the Philosopher

"This man has conquered the world, what have you done?"

He replies

"I have conquered the need to conquer the world"

This story fantastically illustrates a lesson on overcoming.

A man can be many things

In most forms, man becomes a conqueror

However, when is it ever enough for a man?

While on our warpath, we typically achieve many goals. Our careers, homes, cars are
used as war medals

But it is never enough. Although we have already conquered big game, we always
want to hunt more.

The only way to achieve clarity and break the cycle is to overcome the self

 Do not compare (envy)

 Do not excessively desire (greed)
 Do not flaunt (pride)

Otherwise, you are at risk of compromising your morality (wrath)

Like Alexander, we have conquered the world when we should have been conquering
the self.

Because of this, the souls of men have become compromised.

But a self-conquered man is not compromised for he legislates his own limits for his
limitless desire

The best men have the ability to conquer, but choose not to, for they have conquered
enough.

Don’t seek to be the best, seek to be the best version of yourself

 WITH EQUALITY COMES PROMISCUITY
The great irony is that the death of modesty debases feminism.

Here is how second order feminists have destroyed the foundation on which they
stand:

First order feminists fought for justice and rights.

They were the winners of the culture war.

Second order feminists have been going around and shooting survivors.

Equality is inconsistent with modesty.

Modesty differentiates the sexes and regulates sexual desire, the two things that
second order feminists have worked to dismantle.

The irony is in the fact that dismantling modesty in the name of equality only further
proves the lack of equality.

How so?

Simply, second order feminists began their push with sexual liberation.

However, women have much more at risk in sex than men.

An act cannot be considered equal when the risks are not equal.

A woman cannot be sexual while still trying to imitate male virtues.

So, if women cannot alter their traditional virtues while maintaining a level playing
field, what then?

Easy, alter men’s traditional virtues.

Second order feminists seek power over men by making men more feminine.

And man will gladly give up his freedom, this has been witnessed throughout history.
The alteration of traditional values unequivocally leads to the degradation of society.

After the destruction of the value hierarchy, man must replace it with a new one.

In America’s case, this has so far led to consumerism and moral relativism. In France
this led to Revolution. So, men, guard yourselves against feminists and moral
relativists. Now, this is not a war on women, but a war on the debases political
platform of feminism.

Men should still be called to sacrifice for and respect women. But not for women not
called to do the same for men.
 THE FOUR HORSEMEN ARE FIGURES OF THE LAST JUDGEMENT IN THE
CHRISTIAN FAITH

 War
 Death
 Famine
 Conquest

Learn how these concepts can be used to improve your life by bringing judgement
upon yourself.

Throughout history, war has been a proving ground that has turned boys into men.

In modern times, physical war has died down, but there is still a war in the mind.

Easy times may make weak men, but it doesn’t mean you have to be.

Declare war on yourself.

 Start lifting
 Start reading
 Learn to fight
 Stop watching tv

Fight each moment like your life depends on it, because it does.

Fear of death is born from attachment. But this doesn’t mean you need to exile
yourself. The greatest way to live is to remain close while not letting anything own
you. The greatest irony is that those most afraid of death are also afraid to live.

With famine, fasting is the first thing to come to mind. But this applies to more than
food. Fast from excess. Fast from materialism. Moderation enriches. Materialism
destroys. After establishing these things, you will be set for conquest.
No matter your mode of conquest, it is important to set goals. Judge yourself or you’ll
be judged by others. Calm your mind. Harden your body.

Declare war on each moment and fight like your homeland depends on it, because
you are your own homeland. And if you aren’t conquering yourself, then you’ll be
conquered by others.
 THE FAILING OF THEIR FATHER

Without the support of his father, boys grow into demoralized young men.

But to become a king, a man will need to overcome his circumstances.

Key to Jungian analytical psychology are the archetypes of man.

One of which is the wise old man.

In literary form, this is the character that mentors and guides the main characters
along.

This was Gandalf’s character in the Lord of the Rings.

The wise old man is meant to impose high standards,

All while showing the character how to navigate the chaos of their journey.

In life this isn’t the case.

Fathers today are meant to impose these high standards

But they cannot even impose the same standards on themselves.

What we are left with is the antithesis of the wise old man, which becomes one of
two things:

The devouring father, or tyrant or the doddering fool.

Most fathers today are one of the two. As a result, today’s young men find
themselves in the dilemma of navigating the chaos alone.

So men look for guidance in the things they do see.

They aspire to be CEOs, entrepreneurs, and celebrities,

But run from the war that is required to get there.

Because war requires responsibility.

A trait they were never given.

They seek to be kings, but kingship requires you to fight for what you believe in. And
young men don’t believe in anything anymore. At some point every boy grows up. If
your father was the tyrant or the fool, you must impose high standard upon yourself.
If you want to be a king, you need to be able to handle the responsibility that comes
with it. For heavy is the head that wears the crown.
 A THREAD ON SELF-DESTRUCTION:

I think a lot of issues in the West are perfectly explained by the Tower of Babel.

This is a story in the Judeo-Christian religion about a massive tower built on Earth
that stretched to the Heavens.

This story illustrates the dangers of the state.

There is no duel sovereignty. Man serves either God or the State. However, what
happens when the State grows to the point where it rivals God?

It fragments, leading to its own destruction, as was told in the story. We are seeing
this now in the Western world, where there is massive fragmentation.

This begins when the government uses its sovereignty to weigh in on social issues.
There are 3 levels of separation between national politics and the local individual.

By nature, any social issue that is spoken about nationally will not relate to the local
individual. If you want to solve social issues, move the conversation to the local level.
Otherwise, the State will fragment to the point of destruction. Now, this also relates
to the individual and self-improvement. There is no duel sovereignty. Man cannot
serve both God and the State.

The State in this case is any external power that claims dominion over you.

 Envy
 Lust
 Pride
 Sloth
 Greed
 Wrath
 Gluttony
The seven deadly sins are deadly for a reason.
They claim dominion over man, leading to his fragmentation and ultimate
destruction.
The answer is to look internally and sublimate these into something life-giving.

 Power
 Growth
 Humility
 Sacrifice
 Integrity
 Competence
 Transcendence
In all aspects, fragmentation occurs with the external.

Destruction can be avoided if, for the rest of your life, you only concern yourself with
the things you can immediately affect change on. This is the way to achieve
maximum, stable abundance.
 WHY DO MEN CRAVE ADVENTURE?

More important, why are you excited when you start a new job, then want to quit so
quickly after? The answer is biological. Dopamine is a hell of a drug. It will drive you
to great heights and great lows. It leads men to success and to ruin.

Dopamine is the reward center of the brain. It worked well when we needed to
survive, but what about in today’s time?

There is no survival today.

 Wake up
 Traffic
 9-5
 Traffic
 Fast food
 Netflix

However, our reward center is still on at all times.

Industries spend billions to take advantage of this and, as a result, we have

manufactured chaos into our lives. Adventure, much like refreshing your Twitter
feed, provides some excitement in your life. It provides something new. This is the
same as starting a new job. Eventually that new job becomes just a job. You’re bored
of it because you need a new dopamine fix.

 New jobs
 New porn videos
 New notifications
 New sports games
 New YouTube videos

We crave an authentic human experience, but get caught in the trap of living through
others. However, we can hack our reward center and make it work for us. Adventure
and experience doesn’t need to be grandiose to release dopamine. Even hunter-
gatherers fell into routine. Our brains are wired for it. But everything they did was
authentic. Don’t consume content, create it.

Even entrepreneurship gets stale, so treat each day with the newness of the first day.
Get off porn, meet people and experience them authentically.

Don’t watch sports, join a recreational league or play with friends. For too long we
have been consuming a fake human experience.

Every time is leads us wanting more, wanting something else.

There will never be satisfaction. We’ve just never been able to put our finger on the
source of our wanting. It’s all dopamine. The sooner you realize this, the sooner you
can make it work for you and not against you. The adventure is right in front of you,
you just don’t think it is good enough.

The sooner you enjoy the little things, the sooner you’ll enjoy your life.
 When deep into a difficult task, David Goggins brings out an alternate
personality, a person he calls "Goggins"

This may seem over-the-top to some. Why would someone that has run ultra-
marathons in a desert in the summer need an alternate personality?
Cicero discusses this:

The philosopher Cicero provided guidance to young men. In this guidance he talks
about four personalities:

The Universal
The Individual

The Situational
The Self-Chosen

How can we use these to understand ourselves and improve our lives?

1. The Universal

"Deriving from the fact that we all participate in the intelligence and superiority by
which we surpass other animals."

The universal personality is the ability to reason. In this is the ability to not only work
together, but to act selflessly, be courageous, and act rationally.

2. The Individual "This is the [set of natural tendencies and talents] bestowed
separately on each individual"

3. Cicero actually goes on to explain how some people are given particular
characteristics, such as strength and intelligence. We should seek to grow our
positive abilities and get rid of our weak ones. We should list our strengths and
weaknesses, then play them to our advantage.
"Let each man come to know his own ability. If we have a choice we shall work
faithfully at those things that are most suitable to us. If necessity pushes us into
affairs alien to our nature . . . we should act with as much fitness as possible"

4. The Situational "The third role [is that which] opportunity thrusts upon the
individual."

5. The primary rule of life is chance. After mastering the first and second
personalities, you will be well-equipped to face whatever the situational throws at
you. David Goggins trains hard, but "Goggins" helps him get through the situational.

6. The Self-Chosen

"The fourth role is that which we freely adopt for ourselves by a personal decision."
You have spent time mastering your characteristics and have proven effective
situationally, now it is time to do something about it.

 Philosophy
 Law
 Finance
 Military
Now that you know your strengths, find a proper outlet for them.
Some people may be on the ends of the bell curve with strength or intelligence.
Those people will have an easier time picking something that suits their abilities. But
what about those where everything is more grey?

The ancients had a classic arc to life. They were fully multivariate.

 Students became soldiers

 Soldiers became artisans
 Artisans became politicians
 Politicians became philosophers
Build your strengths and use them across a wide array of careers.
Diversify your opportunities. “Yet certainly these are those principles by which my
system of education nurtured the men who fought at Marathon. If you do these
things which I say, and apply your mind to these, you will ever have a stout chest, a
clear complexion, broad shoulders, a little tongue"

Raising moral daughters in an immoral society:

The West has been in a societal and cultural decline for decades.

How do fathers raise daughters in this time of degeneracy and promiscuity? It all
begins with the actions of the father. A failed father leads to a demoralized child.
Boys escape to video games, a place that gives them control and increased power.

Girls escape to feminism. Without proper love and guidance, girls will seek it
elsewhere.

When surrounded by effeminate and weak men, she will seek to surround herself
with masculine and strong women.

So if we are looking to prioritize traditional roles, what values do we instill in our

daughters?

If anything else:

A man deserves to be respected as much as you deserve to be sacrificed for.

Learn to cook. While this is a skill I recommend for men too, you will do the majority
of the cooking in the home, so do it well. It will also provide a bonding experience
with your children when you pass this skill and recipes to them.

Stay clear of alcohol. Drinking is a masculine trait. Nobody respects the girl that
shotguns beers and nothing good ever comes from a bar. Be seen, but not heard.

By this I don’t mean silence. A woman should have her presence known in a room,
but she should not need to do it with her voice.

Strength through grace. Prioritize your own education. Maintaining intellectual

curiosity is paramount for your own sanity. Additionally, the type of man that a
proper woman will attract will require stimulating conversation. You don’t want
anyone disregarding you due to your stupidity.

Stay clear of popular culture. Modern society is a trap built to destroy the body,
mind, and soul. Avoid making friends with people that are trapped, because they will
drag you down with them. Society may glitter like gold, but it is fool’s gold as a
reward for a fool’s game.

Life revolves largely around finding a partner. By becoming the type of woman that
should be sacrificed for, you will naturally attract a man worth respecting. Outside of
finding a partner, it is in your own personal interest to become a high caliber woman.

Through physical, mental, and spiritual fitness, a person saves themselves a lot of
time, grief, and money.
Uncompromising Self-Improvement Megathread

As society has gotten more comfortable, it has began imploding.

Decade after decade, the age of mental masculinity has increased until its current
point where some men die still as boys.

To improve means to fight against it.

1. Health

 Stop buying fast food

 Eat nothing with added sugar
 Stop drinking sodas and juices
 Drink water or coffee/tea with no sugar
 Buy your foods locally
 Meats, fruits, and vegetables should all be bought from local farmers
 This is for both health and economy

Our diet, lack of sunlight, and easy lifestyle has led to:

 Cancer
 Obesity
 Heart Disease
 Lower testosterone
 Lower sperm count

Get more sunlight, exercise, eat healthier, eat less sugar. A good way to achieve many
of these would be to grow your own fruits and vegetables. Through this you can
ensure the avoidance of pesticides and plastics. You will also get sunlight and exercise
as you till the soil, the same as your ancestors did.
2. Exercise

Get a gym membership or buy equipment

You don’t need anything fancy, so don’t waste all your money on equipment or
expensive gyms. Machines are not necessary. All you need is an iron bar and some
weights.

Even no equipment and just your body weight works fine.

Stick with compound lifts. These are the types of exercises you will do with a barbell.

 Squats
 Deadlifts
 Bench Press
 Overhead Press

If you don’t have equipment, you can do this with your own body.

 Run
 Jump
 Pull-ups
 Push-ups
 Air Squats

Supplements are largely unnecessary.

Your goal should be to get your daily protein and calories from real food, not
powders. Fix your posture. Good posture is the sign of a confident man. Learn to
fight. Every man should know how to defend himself. Nobody respects a weakling
and these skills can be used to save your life or the life of those you love.

 Boxing
 Jiu Jitsu
 Wrestling
  Muay Thai

Learn to use a weapon.

You don’t need to become a sharpshooting expert, But learn how to hit what you aim
at and become confident enough that you can defend your home.

Learn to hunt, like your ancestors.

There is a spiritual connection that man has with animal.

Honor it.

3. Porn

STOP WATCHING PORN!

Porn destroys your mind and your sexual energy. Learn to sublimate this energy into
productive activities.

 Lift
 Read
 Write
 Meditate

Porn is a slope into degeneracy. Your addiction will only get worse and the porn more
destructive of the soul.

4. Education

 Read
 Listen to podcasts
 Watch videos that teach skills
 Read philosophy and learn masculine skills.
 Find material that checks your intellectual temperature.
 Read hard material and material that challenges your views.
4a. List of high-T hobbies:

 Chess
 Lifting
 Sailing
 Boxing
 Archery
 Hunting
 Reading
 Smithing
 Shooting
 Metalwork
 Martial arts
 Woodworking
 Mechanical work
 Mountain climbing
 Learning a language
 Learning an instrument

4b. Philosophy

Read philosophers throughout history. You won’t agree with all of them, which is
fine. This will help you find your own values, rather than blindly believing what you
are told.

 Aristotle
 Plato
 Confucius
 Descartes
 Hume
  Kant
 Locke
 Machiavelli
 Nietzsche
 Rousseau

5. Appearance

Once you’ve hardened the body and sharpened the mind, you can focus on your
appearance.

 Be polite
 Speak clearly
 Trim or shave your beard
 Go to a barber and get a proper haircut
 Get a job that improves those around you
 Build your connection with your community

The Last Men of Democracy are weak men that will not seek to improve themselves.

Embrace your physical and intellectual masculinity.

Society glitters like gold, but it is fool’s gold as a reward for a fool’s game.

The only way to achieve true abundance is to forgo comfort.

 HOW TO BUILD A LIFE WORTH ENVYING: A THREAD ON BECOMING THE
FULFILLED MAN
Men and women are attracted to three primary things:

1. Wealth
2. Health
3. Family

In all forms, the primary attraction is fulfillment. We lack something and seek to be in
a state of completion.

As a result, we are always envious towards the person that is more complete than we
are. The project of self-improvement is never-ending. We will never reach completion
but envy those closer to it than us. We seek growth, but fight the battle of boredom
because the process may be simple, but it is monotonous.

But much is rewarded to he who suffers necessarily.

So we must suffer necessarily in three primary subjects:

Wealth, or the building of finances towards financial freedom.

Health, or the building of the body and mind towards freedom.

Family, or the building of community that promotes freedom.

1. Wealth

The key to financial wealth is through making Capitalism work for you. Money is
earned in accordance to your level of competence. As your competence rises, you will
switch from getting paid for your time to getting paid for your mind.

1b. Investing

I hate to break it to you, but investing should be smart, not sexy.

Around 70% of those that win the lottery end up going broke within a few years.

Winning requires luck.

Continuing to win requires intellect.

Invest passively or in massive companies.

ETFs can track entire markets or sectors and pull in the winnings of multiple
companies, which will diversify your risk.

Individual stocks are fine, just make it strong and safe companies.

Don’t worry about timing the market. The key is to get in the game, not try to "start
ahead".

Missing out on the 10 best days in the market cuts your returns in half.

Get ahead by getting in the game.

Dividends and "buying income" is fantastic when you’re 65 and retiring, but unless
you have millions in cash, you won’t buy enough dividend stocks to live off of.

Apple’s last dividend was $0.82. The stock was trading at about $100 a share.

That’s $8200 for every million dollars invested.

Let your growth compound first so you can maximize your income later.

2. Health

We focus a lot on compound interest, but don’t think as much about compound
growth. Breaking bad habits and establishing good habits is the hardest part. With
health we are either receiving or making payments. Eventually those payments come
due. Mental health compounds too. If your mood is bad, your actions and
interpretations reflect this, making your day even worse.
The opposite is also true if you’re in a good mood. Two of the biggest mental killers
are anxiety and depression. Anxiety stems from comparing your present to your
future. Depression stems from comparing your present to your past OR to someone
else’s present.

Fortunately, there are ways to defeat both.

Depression is a monster that will leave you feeling defeated. However, the monster
can be slayed physically or mentally.

Meditation is a powerful tool to not only bring you in the present, but in YOUR
present.

It also doesn’t require you to sit in one spot and chant.

Meditation is time spent alone with yourself.

Walking meditation can be done outside in the sun.

Working meditation allows you to have a finished product (I prefer cleaning the
house or woodworking)

Resting meditation can give you peace and quiet after a long day.

Anxiety is a disorder of excessive mental energy.

Like physical energy, you have mental energy.

When life is throwing more at you than you are throwing at yourself, you feel out of
control.

This causes you to feel overwhelmed and anxious.

Your instinct may be to do less (take a vacation),

Counterintuitively, the answer is to do more.

There are two kinds of challenges:

Active and Passive

Active challenges occur when you externally experience something internal.

These are productive things like goals.

Passive challenges occur when you internally experience something external.

This is busy work like emails and meetings.

The more active challenges you add, the more control you have over your life.

Passive challenges will be necessary, but schedule time during the time during the
day to do them.

Find the passive challenges and schedule an hour to do them, the rest of the day is
spent actively.

As you do more, you will feel more in control.

You will be less anxious, less overwhelmed, and more confident.

Find goals (like calling 10x the number of clients) to accomplish during work hours

Hobbies (like reading difficult books) that challenge you during your time off.

3. Family

Community is the final piece of the puzzle.

We are social creatures and we will feel incomplete without interaction.

We need friends, mentors, and family.

Our friends should be building us up.

A good rule of thumb is to talk about your goals with your friends.

This is because we should be friends with people who root for who we should be, not
who we currently are.
Their reaction will tell you the future of the relationship.

With the Internet our mentors don’t need to be physical anymore.

There is much to learn from those online, so use it to your advantage.

Find those in your niche and grow with them.

Remember, nothing is given for free. Be of help those guiding you. Relationships are
two-sided.

The first advantage you will have in life is being born into a stable household.

However, it doesn’t mean you have to be doomed to follow suit.

Seek meaningful relationships. Casual dating only invites low-value partners.

Don’t just date people, interview them.

Envy can be a strong tool for growth, just make sure you are growing into someone
worth emulating.

While you will never feel complete,

Growing your wealth, health, and family will lead you to become the person worth
envying and lead you to becoming the Fulfilled Man.
 HOW FEMINISM HAS FAILED

A thread on sex, values, and culture.

In every society through history, there has been a link between achievement and
sexual temperance.

In every case when a nation reaches its peak, culture, through sex, becomes more
laissez-faire. As a result, the country sees its downfall.

There is the adage of strong men creating good times and good times creating weak
men. This is because comforts could not be afforded by our ancestors.
Their sacrifice created our good times. With this has come feminism and sexual
liberation.

Following the Rights Movements has been a breaking of traditional values.

Second order feminists have swooped in to push sexual liberation,
Believing they know more than their ancestors.

Seeing the sexual freedom that they believe me men had, they weaponized it against
them believing they could act equally.

However, sex was never equal. This freedom was actually a difference in
responsibility.

Women have much more to lose in a sexual encounter.

Rather than equality rising, the rate of single motherhood began rising.
An act without equal consequences will never be equal.

To respond to this, bandaids such as abortion, the morning-after pill, and birth
control began increasing.

As a result, so has liberalism and moral relativism.

We no longer believe a person’s actions can be “evil” because everything is relative.

Additionally, we haven’t hit a point where there has been enough. There is always
more “freedom” to be had. The irony is in the lack of realization that these previous
“freedoms” have only brought more despair.

Promiscuity has continued to rise and has reached its current point where we are
sexualizing children for our own entertainment.

Rather than moral disgust, many are feeling “liberated.”

The chains of moral destruction have been disguised as freedom.

Our only solution is to maintain our traditional values.

As society continues to degrade, high-value men and women will be the “strong
men” that overcome the weak times.

The strongest force of energy is found in sex, which is our form of creation.
Sublimate this energy into the creation of a stronger self.

This is the only path to true freedom.

 HOW TO WIN POWER AND INFLUENCE EMPIRES

Power can be organized in three systems:

Social, or the conveyance of status.

Class, or the access to resources. Political, or the ability to influence.

Of these, social is the weakest form of power, as it only displays wealth and requires
others to involved in the game.

Class is the evolved form of social power. It’s form will be dependent on the
economics of the society. At its highest level, class allows influence via funding. Class
is the evolved form of social power. It’s form will be dependent on the economics of
the society. At its highest level, class allows influence via funding. Social power
provides local influence, class power provides national influence,

Political power provides global influence. Gaining global influence is a two-part

equation: First you must gain power, then you need to maintain it.

Power is gained through ability, and ability is born from competence. A man cannot
becomes a grandmaster in chess without a level of devotion where the game
becomes part of their being. You must treat your field of expertise the same.

Maintaining power is more difficult, particularly in chaotic and competitive

environments. This was the basis of Machiavelli’s question “is it better to be feared or
loved?”

An example of this was in the territory of Romagna.

The ruler was weak and his land was filled with violence and crime. Cesare Borgia
took over and promoted d’Orco to command and restore peace. As a result, a
massive amount of the population was slaughtered. Citizens were terrified, but peace
was regained.
The story ends with d’Orco being found in the town center one morning, beheaded
next to a bloody knife. Cesare Borgia then took command over a peaceful territory.

So, to maintain power, what is more effective: fear or love?

Well, this question is more about passions. Cruelty leads to fear, mercy to love.
However, mercy is an imaginary truth. While mercy helps your reputation, it will
never be enough. You will always be asked “what have you done for me lately?”

Therefore, you trade everything for reputation. Eventually you will need to take and
will be seen as cruel, destroying the reputation you built. Fear is then the effectual
truth as it leads to your preservation.

If fear must be used, we must find how to use it effectively without becoming
tyrannical. To use the metaphor of “the carrot and the stick,” if the stick must be
used, it is better to use it all at once. Shock and Awe. When using the carrot, give it
out slowly over time. If discipline or retribution is necessary, it must be swift and just
or it will not be effective. Otherwise, you will be perceived as a tyrant that never puts
down his sword. To maintain power, evil cannot be tolerated out of mercy. It only
allows evil to grow and the tolerant become tyrants. Destroy evil and reign in peace.

STRATEGY OF A SPEAKER

There are two parts to developing any great speaker.

The first and most critical is learning strategy.

Step 1

Answer this question

What do you want the audience to feel?

Think about JFK and how he said America would go to the moon.

The goal for audience...inspiration and hope for America’s destiny.

Step 2

Answer this question

When have you felt that emotion?

Find a source of inspiration from your own life.

An experience, memory, or even a piece of pop culture that you can draw on.

MLK spoke about his own life experiences.

He connected to his audience because he knew the emotion.

He had felt it and made the audience feel it too.

Step 3

Answer this question

How can you create that emotion?

Figure out the theme of your speech.

A powerful theme can connect your audience to the emotion.

Political campaigns are masters of this.

So are advertisers.

Step 4

Answer this question

What tactics can you use to magnify the emotion?

Tactics include rhythm, pacing, tone, body language, volume, pauses, and other
oratory skills.

Study Winston Churchill as he wrote them into his speeches.

Step 5

Answer this question

Have you practiced enough to deliver?

A great strategy only works when it’s executed.

Practice so you nail it.

Become immortal like Socrates.

 TACTICS OF A SPEAKER

There are two parts to making a great speaker.

The second is using tactics to implement the strategy.
Step 1

Slow down.

This is the best tactic to use when speaking.

Study Obama and the speed at which he speaks.

Or watch other greats like Oprah.

Step 2

Build rhythm.

This tactic helps speaking sound musical.

Prevent sounding flat by playing around with rhythm like a composer leading an
orchestra.

Step 3

Change volumes.

For big exciting moments get loud.

For big impact moments go quiet.

Think of how effective the speakers in the movie 300 were playing with this idea.

Or even Eric Thomas.

Step 4

Change tones.
Different parts of speaking need different tones.

Playful versus sarcastic.

Serious versus friendly.

Step 5

Use silence and pauses.

These allow an audience to reflect or put emphasis on a point.

It also demonstrates a level of confidence, thoughtfulness, and credibility to the

speaker.

Tactics sell the strategy.

Use them well and the results will follow.

Without tactics, a strategy cannot be implemented.

Without strategy, tactics get used incorrectly.

Tell a great story they say

So how do you do it?

Here are key ingredients:

Step 1

Adventure

Every person loves an adventure.

This could be a travel adventure, a life adventure, a mundane adventure.

-Thailand

-A new baby

-A trip to grocery store

Step 2

Humor

Make people laugh.

You can use irony or shock value here.

Find a way to create laughter.

Every story has humor if you deliver it right.

Step 3

Adversity.

There needs to be a struggle.

Something to overcome.

It can be serious or silly.

If it’s silly lean into the humor as well.

Step 4

Triumph.

A great story ends with success.

People want a happy ending.

You want to demonstrate that you conquered the adversity.

Make it a powerful story for the audience and also for you.

Combine these 4 ingredients to create a great story.

You can become a great storyteller.

And storytellers run the world.

 Veni Vidi Vici

Your warrior ancestors were marching for days and fighting the enemy without eating
or resting.

They were fasting naturally.

Yet their modern successors can’t stop eating every 2 hours.

Here’s how to get your primal energy back.

There is not just one way to take care of your health and body.

There are different approaches,

And all can work.

However, mankind has been practicing fasting for thousands of years.

Its legitimacy comes from thousands of years of experience.

And in modern times, where we are surrounded by junk foods,

It is becoming more important for us.

Fasting is not just a tool to use to lose weight.

It benefits your health from every perspective.

Health is a whole.

And it’s basically a combination of 3 subgroup

- Mental health
- Metabolic health

- Gut health

This applies to a normal person who doesn’t have congenital issues.

So, if these 3 subgroups are good for you, you can consider yourself as healthy.

However, we all know that the average person is depressed, fat, and has gut
problems.

Luckily, fasting helps with all of those.

How?
Let’s take a look.

Mental Health
It might sound ridiculous to you that fasting helps with depression.
But it really does.
How?
1. It reduces the inflammation in the brain. It reduces inflammation everywhere
actually. To understand that, you need to understand that depression is an
inflammatory issue, and it’s highly related to your metabolical health. Long
story short, inflammation makes you feel like shit and fasting reduces it.
2. BDNF ( Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor). It is known that fasting increases
BDNF. I’ve talked about BDNF before, but I want to talk about specifically its
relationship between serotonin. BDNF promotes the survival and
differentiation of serotonin neurons. So, when it increases, serotonin
increases. Simple.
3. Ketones and ketones. I’ll make this short. You produce ketones when you fast.
Ketones promote more BDNF production, therefore you produce more
serotonin. Also, they are good for overall brain energy metabolism.
Metabolic Health

Its most noticeable benefits are about your metabolical health, of course.

Here are a couple of metabolic benefits:

1. Fat loss. Of course, you can lose fat with other approaches. But one of the
most beautiful things about fasting, you can actually target your fat tissue. You
know you’re burning fat when you fast. Because your body adjusts its
hormonal system to use fats for fuel. You basically hack your hormonal system.
2. Improved Insulin sensitivity. Insulin is produced when you eat. By not eating,
you stop producing insulin during that time you fast. This is actually a very
good thing because almost all metabolic diseases are related to
hyperinsulinemia.
3. Autophagy. Autophagy is your body’s cellular recycling process that it uses to
get rid of old components of your cells such as old organelles and excess
proteins, etc. Autophagy is good for everything in your body. It’s basically the
key to longevity.And it’s also highly beneficial for preventing serious diseases
such as:

- Cancer

- Alzheimer’s

- Parkinson, and many more.

Imagine your vital organs clean up themselves and become more efficient and
healthy. That’s what autophagy does.

Gut Health

Your gut microbiome affects almost everything in your body. Your immune system,
your mental health, your gut health obviously, etc. Due to poor lifestyle choices and
eating habits, most people’s gut health is broken and they have dysbiosis in their gut.
Sugar and omega 6 are the devil in this case. They are the devil in all cases though.
Anyway, these components are close friends of bad bacteria in your gut and enemies
of your good ones.

So, how fasting is good for your gut? Because it regenerates your gut cells by
promoting stem cell production. Ketones even promote more stem cell production.
Also, bad bacteria are more sensitive than good ones. They die first when you fast.
So, your gut regenerates itself while you’re killing bad bacteria. Fasting improves
every aspect of your health. It’s a perfect way to take control of it.

Be healthy. Get in shape. Chase excellence.

 10 COMMANDMENTS OF HAVING TESTOSTERONE OF A MIGHTY WARRIOR

Make your warrior ancestors proud.

1. Stay lean. Your fat tissue is the enemy of testosterone. Why? Adipose tissue
(fat) is highly estrogenic. It produces aromatase which converts testosterone
into estrogen. More fat=More estrogen. I’m not saying you should be at %5
body fat. You don’t have to get ripped. Around %12-15 body fat is what you
need to aim for.
2. Lift heavy weights. This is the obvious one. Your muscle mass is correlated to
your testosterone level. Lifting weights increases testosterone, especially
compound lifts trigger more testosterone production. More muscle activation=
More testosterone production. Lift.
3. Eat properly. Your diet plays a huge role in testosterone production. Your diet
should provide the essential nutrients for your body to produce testosterone.

What are these key nutrients?

 Cholesterol
 Zinc
 Vitamin D
 Vitamin A
 Magnesium
You need to have proper levels of these nutrients to have a good testosterone level.
Best sources for these nutrients?

Cholesterol = Red meat

Zinc = Oysters, red meat
Vitamin D = Sun
Vitamin A = Beef liver

Magnesium = Supplement
 4. Avoid junk foods. Sugar and Omega 6 are common things that junk foods
contain. They’re also the mortal enemies of testosterone. Of course, you can
eat junks occasionally. But %80-90 of the time, you need to eat right.
5. Quit porn for good. Porn is the ultimate enemy. Porn makes you weak. Porn
makes you pathetic. Porn makes you low self-esteem. Porn drains your energy.
Porn messes up your hormones. And it fucks up your dating and sex life as
well. Stay away from it.
6. Have sex, don’t fap. Fapping and porn usually walk hand in hand. Most people
fap a lot. Fapping drains your zinc which is crucial for testosterone. Have sex. If
you can’t, then don’t fap at all. Don’t waste your seeds for no reason. Do
nofap.
7. Be uncomfortable. Do hard things. Do what scares you the most. Get out of
your comfort zone. Embrace challenge. Embrace the struggle. Don’t be a
pussy. You will feel confident once you get out of your comfort zone, and your
testosterone will thank you for that.
8. Limit alcohol, avoid beer. You don’t have to stop drinking alcohol entirely. I
like to drink whiskey and rakı occasionally when I’m with bros. You don’t have
to be a complete asshole. However, you need to limit your intake. And avoid
beer especially, it’s the worst alcohol.
9. Sleep well. Without proper sleep, you stress your body which causes it to
produce cortisol. Cortisol is the enemy hormone of testosterone. Also,
sleeplessness messes up with your health in general. It’s the reality, we have
to sleep well.
10. Avoid chronic stress. I’m not talking about the short term stress that essential
for growth. The problem is long term stress. You need to get rid of the things
that stress you constantly. It could be a toxic relationship. It could be a job. Cut
it off.

Follow These 10 Commandments and watch your testosterone increases.

5 REASONS WHY INTERMITTENT FASTING SKYROCKETS YOUR COGNITIVE FUNCTION

1. You are under stress. Intermittent fasting is about putting your body under
stress to make your body stronger. When you don’t eat for an extended period
of time, you stress your body, which is a good thing. That stress triggers
catecholamines. Cathecolamines= Adrenaline, noradrenaline. These hormones
make you more alert and focused.
2. Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). Your body produces more BDNF
when you fast. What BDNF does within the body?
- It grows new neurons. It grows new neurons in the specific portions of the
brain such as cortex, hippocampus, and basal forebrain. These areas are
related to memory, focus.
- It increases the synaptic connectivity
3. Decreased synaptic activity, increased synaptic connectivity. Synapse is
basically the connection between two neurons. Neurons communicate with
each other through synapses. When you fast, your body is more cautious
about how it spends energy in the brain. So, it decreases the unnecessary
synaptic activity so that it can spend energy on the more necessary things. And
it increases the synaptic connectivity through BDNF. So that neurons
communicate with each other more efficiently. Think of it like this. Your brain
is focusing one thing at a time with %50 of its energy instead of focusing 10
things at a time with %100 of its energy. So, basically your body stops
multitasking when you fast.
4. Ketones. When you fast, your body starts to produce ketones. Ketones have
their place when it comes to cognitive function. The beautiful thing about
ketones is that your brain can use them as an energy source like glucose, but it
uses them more efficiently than glucose.
5. Mitochondrial biogenesis. Mitochondria is the powerhouse of your cells. It’s
where the energy is produced. And ketones also increase the number of
 mitochondria. This means they increase both the efficiency and number of
mitochondria in your brain.

Win/Win
When these 5 things are combined when you fast. Your cognitive function increases.
 FASTING AND AUTOPHAGY

Let’s talk about the underrated benefits of fasting which no one talks about.
Everybody talks about fat loss. However, increased autophagy is what makes fasting
truly superior. Let’s start with what autophagy is. What is autophagy? Autophagy is a
cellular recycling process. Basically, your cells get rid of thrash and useless
components. Such as excess proteins, old organelles, etc. Think of autophagy like this.
Imagine you cleaned up your office to work more efficiently.That’s exactly what
autophagy does for your body. Your cells become more efficient and more functional

Let’s get into why fasting enhances autophagy like crazy. Before I explain this to you

You need to know these two things first:

1. mTOR=Anabolic switch. When we eat, we produce insulin, right? That insulin

triggers mTOR which makes us gain fat, build muscle, grow tumors, etc. All
anabolic things look up to mTOR to occur.
2. AMPK=Catabolic switch. As you can imagine, when we don’t eat for an
extended period of time. AMPK is elevated. Because we’re in a catabolic
situation. We need to block mTOR to enhance autophagy. mTOR is the enemy
autophagy. We need AMPK to be elevated. And that’s where the fasting makes
the difference. You need to NOT eat for an extended period of time to
enhance autophagy. Because every time you eat something. It elevates insulin
which triggers mTOR which shuts down autophagy. That’s why eating
frequently is not optimal for autophagy.

Even if you’re in a deficit. You need to FAST if you want to enhance autophagy and
potentially live longer. And you don’t need to fast every day for that. If you want to
eat frequently in your everyday life. That’s fine

Do 48-72 hours fast once a month. That’s all you need

I don’t know who needs to hear this but:

Your diet doesn’t contain enough ZINC. Zinc is important for many things, such as:
- Testosterone
- Immune system
- Skin
- Hair

- Gut health
Don’t risk your health. Get enough zinc. Which foods should you eat more?
- Oysters
- Grass-fed red meat
- Crab
- Lobsters
- Cheese

You might see on the internet that whole grains do contain zinc too. The problem is
they also contain phytate which blocks the absorption of zinc. So, it’s not an effective
way to take zinc.

or…
You can supplement it if you want.
But be careful about two things:
1. Form of zinc
- Zinc monomethionine
- Zinc citrate
- Zinc gluconate
- Zinc sulfate
- Zinc acetate

These are okay.

 2. Dose of zinc
Don’t take more than 40 mg a day and don’t take it once. Divide it into smaller doses
for better absorption.
 BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO INTERMITTENT FASTING (IF OR TRF)

We’re going to cover:

1. Types of IF
2. What to eat prior to fast
3. What to do during a fast
4. How to blunt hunger
5. What breaks a fast
6. How to break a fast
Let’s begin.
1. Types of IF
There are many types of IF.
Actually, you can create your own IF program and call it "x fasting".
But I want to talk about three basic subtypes:
-16/8

-18/6

-20/4

16/8 is the most popular one but I’d recommend it only if you’re new to fasting.

16/8 is basically just skipping breakfast, it’s a stepping stone to others.

The main benefits of fasting start to occur after at least 16 hours.

So, if you want to get most out of your fast,

I’d recommend once you adapt to fasting switch your program and fast for at least
18-20 hours a day 3-4 times per week depending on your goal.

I won’t explain why because it’s a long topic.

Next up:

2. What to eat prior to fast.

If you’re new to fasting, it would be beneficial for you to eat a proper meal prior to
fast to minimize hunger. Proper meal=High in fiber+High in protein and also you can
add fats of course. Avoid veg and seed oils. Coconut, butter, avocado, red meat, fatty
fish, ghee, etc. Fats like these are okay. The point is to eat a meal that will keep you
satiated for as long as possible. To achieve this, you should eat slow-digesting foods.

3. What to do during a fast.

If you had terrible eating habits before, you might struggle with that. You might crave
snacks, it’s normal. But drink coffee instead and focus on your goals. Fasted mornings
are great for working your ass off and work out.

4. How to blunt hunger during a fast.

If you’re eating a high-carb diet, you might suffer hunger due to low insulin. Because
your insulin drops, your body excretes more water and sodium and that triggers
hunger. So, you don’t crave food actually, you crave SALT.

1. Put a pinch of rock salt into your tongue

or

2. Black coffee
3. Green tea
These two blunt hunger too. However, black tea doesn’t, at least according to my
experiences.

4. What breaks a fast

Anything that triggers a metabolic response in your body and affects your metabolic
state negatively breaks a fast.

These are okay to take:

-Black coffee

-Tea (green, black)

-ACV
-Lemon water

5. How to break a fast

Because you’re insulin sensitive, you need to be careful. If you break your fast with
carbs, don’t eat fats with it. Avoid FAT+CARB combination. If you want to build
muscle I’d recommend you break your fast with lean protein and basic carbs.
 The HD Movement
FIX YOUR POSTURE

A simple guide to avoiding the slouched epidemic

Poor posture doesn’t just make you look like a shrimp. It has negative effects on your
neck and spine. Can lead to serious problems down the line. Fix it!

A few of the common symptoms are:

- Neck pain
- Rounded Shoulders

- Upper back & Shoulder pain

- Headaches
Causes:
- Sitting for extended periods of time - Take breaks every 30-60 minutes to stand.
- Poor seating arrangement - Keep your computer screen at eye level.
- Muscle Memory - Your muscles take the shape they are placed in. Be mindful of our
posture and avoid slouching.
Solutions:
- Stretch tight muscles
- Strengthen weak postural muscles
1. Pec Stretch:
Pecs will usually tighten up due to being in a shortened position
1st pic is a doorway stretch (Never push through shoulder pain)
2nd pic is a foam roller stretch: Lie on the roller and bring arms out to the side. (This
one feels great)
Hold for 60 seconds x 3
2. Snow Angels:
Stand back against the wall.
Arms in an L shape against the wall.
Bring them up as far as you can while maintaining touching the wall.
Hold at the top for a few seconds.
Repeat x 20
3. Cable face pulls:
This exercise is GREAT for posture and reducing rounded shoulders.
It targets a bunch of your posterior muscles including the mid/low trap which is
usually weak in this situation.
Make sure to do these properly, here’s a video:

4. Posterior Delt Raises:

Do these with light weight/high reps to start to avoid hurting your shoulders.

Target the posterior delts and the upper back musculature.

 6. Prone T,Y:
Lying on stomach.
Bring arms out to the side, thumbs pointing up, and lift up, hold for 3 seconds.

Repeat 10-15x for 3 sets.

Do the same thing but with elevated near your ears, as in the 2nd pic.

- Try to do these 2x per week.

- Make sure to avoid sitting slouched. Take breaks to avoid this.
- Should have no pain with anything, if you do stop.
- None of this is medical advice, just my suggestions for poor posture.
 The ONE Exercise you NEED but don’t do

The magical benefits of the lost movement: hanging.

Hanging from a pull bar is a great exercise with many benefits.

It’s especially good for people with:

- Posture issues
- Shoulder pain & weakness
- Spine problems- Weak grip strength
The idea is to hang for as long as possible.
Preferably up to 30-60 seconds x 5 sets. For a total of 2.5 to 5 minutes.
If you can’t, go for as long as you can and build up over time.
You can start with 30 seconds over a few sets.

Benefits:
-Shoulder Health: (A big one)
Due to our lifestyles, we rarely bring our arms overhead throughout the day.
We tend to lose some motion and the shoulder capsule gets tight.
Hanging improves range of motion and loosens up a tight capsule.
While increasing strength.

-Decompress the spine:

If you sit at a desk for long hours.
It’s likely you tend to slouch after a while.
This puts extra stress on the spinal discs and ligaments.
Hanging is a natural decompressor of the spine with the assistance of gravity.
Usually feels great after.

- Increases grip strength

- Improves posture by stretching tight pecs, lats, and other musculature.
- Will probably make you taller (By reducing your slouch) -A reminder that it’s ok to
feel a bit of tightness initially but not pain.
-You never want to push through pain.
-Give it a try a few times a week and see how you feel in 30 days.
-Give the first post a Retweet to share the word!
 I LOOK AROUND AND SEE THE STATE OF THE WORLD IN CHAOS

It seems the more advanced we get as a species, the further away we drift from our
roots. I see people that are confused, unfulfilled, and unaware of what they want to
do with their lives. Mental health is on the decline.

The rates of disease are exponentially growing. Depression, anxiety, obesity, and
heart disease are the new norm. It’s just a matter of when to start taking medication.

The technology we have today would have been considered fantasy just 50 years ago.
So why are we more lost than ever as humans?

When we are supposed to be evolving and improving.

These are some of my observations from my little time here on earth:

Schools don’t teach us how to develop our personalities and character.

Not all people are the same.

A one size fits all education system makes no sense. We are all unique in our innate
talents and interest.

Yet we group the artists with the scientists and force them to learn the same thing.
We are taught that memorizing facts and passing exams is our most important duty.
Why aren’t we allowed to think freely and creatively?

Why are we not taught about discipline and emotional intelligence? Why are all the
active children medicated with amphetamines? Why are we not taught about
controlling our thinking process, about spirituality, about how important nature is to
our well being. Why are we not taught about the evils of processed foods and about
proper nutrition?

How come nobody ever taught us about philosophy? About thinking for ourselves
and developing our own paths. Why are we not taught about family values and the
importance of it?
Family values are broken.
There’s this immense pressure from society that as an 18 year old you have to leave
home and figure our your whole life.
After having been in school your whole life being told what to do.

All of a sudden you have the weight of the whole world on your shoulders.
With no idea of what your true purpose is, leaving you with a void.
This is quickly filled with alcohol and partying.

The next thing you know, you are graduating, and still have no true purpose for life in
your heart.
Getting a job in a cubicle that will pay the bills because the idea of living with your
family until having figured things out is frowned upon.

Leaving you unfulfilled and unsatisfied with life.

Rarely seeing the sun.
Sitting all day and posture slouched.
Driving everywhere you need to go.
Getting little to no activity.
Slowly killing your soul.
How can you not be depressed?
With no purpose?

Every day the same as the next?

Every week waiting for the weekend, just to spend it on your couch binging TV shows,
and watching the news.
Why are all the elderly put in retirement homes instead of living with their children
and grandchildren?

After battling through life for 70 years. Working day in and day out at a job you hate.
Providing for your kids for 18 years.
To end up in a nursing home with a 12 inch TV and the worst food on the planet.
What a tragedy of a life.

Health & Nutrition is a disaster.

The state of health is in shambles.
Food has turned to poison.
Health care is all about treating symptoms vs prevention of disease.
The state of our health has become a business to the biggest corporations in the
world to profit from.

Why is there a McDonald’s on every corner when we know it is literally killing us?
Why is everything processed and filled with sugar and poison?

Why is every other TV ad brainwashing us into eating Doritos and drinking Beer?

Why do Doctors prescribe us pills to target symptoms instead of treating the root of
the problem?
Why is exercise, sun, and real food not prescribed to people?
Why is it not constantly pushed to us on TV in the first place? $$$
Instead of all the crap that’s on there now.

4. Modern society is killing marriage and love life.

The divorce is as high as 50%.
What are we doing to ourselves?

How are we supposed to build the new generation if we can’t even get our own
household in order?
Hollywood is brainwashing people into thinking your love life must be a fairy tale.
Instead of building together. Sacrificing for each other.
Where is the integrity? the honor?
And what’s the deal with the rise of such intense feminism?
The death of proper gender roles is killing the relationship dynamic.
That’s all i’m going to say on the topic...

Social media
I read somewhere “People are over wired and under-connected.”
This couldn’t be more true then the state we are in today.

People care more about likes they see on their phones than real interactions with real
people.
Friendships are more and more superficial.
You can’t rely on anyone.
There is no sense of brotherhood.

Everything is about individuality.

What happened to live and die by the tribe?
To elevating those around you?

To going out of your way for your people?

These are ideas are nonexistent nowadays.

Young females more and more confused by the effects of social media.
It seems everyone is exposing themselves nowadays for social approval.
There is even a platform for females to expose themselves for money, and this is
considered normal.

I even saw a post about men agreeing to let their wives do this for extra money.
What happened to us and a species?
No values. No morals.

I don’t know where we even begin.

But for now.
My priorities are as follow:
Family:
Take care of my parents until the day they are gone.
Protect and care for my wife.
Provide for and train my children.

Health:
Take care of my health and educate all of those around me.
Maintain my body and fitness.

Education:
Always learning.
Teach my family and those around me.
Avoid the mainstream media as much as possible.

Spiritual:
Connect with something bigger than myself.
Spend as much time as possible in nature.

Business:
Make money helping people better their lives.
Avoid the materialistic world being pushed on us every single day.
Make enough to solve all my money problems and use the rest to bring up my
community.

Purpose:
Be intentional with your actions.
Figure out what you want and pursue it relentlessly.
Don’t give in to the societal pressure to follow a certain path.

Emotional:
Enjoy every single day.
Never take myself too seriously.
A day without laughter is a day wasted.
Everyone else I currently don’t have the mental space for.
If something is not furthering my mission as listed above or bringing positivity into my
life.
I will not waste my limited time on it.

I’m not after the money.

I’m after freedom.
I’m after being able to provide for my family.
I’m after being able to live a stress-free life.
I’m after leaving the world better than I found it.
I’m after being the best version of myself to lead my family by example.

I want to bring as many people as I can with me.

Back to our roots.
Family, Honor, Deep emotions, True health, Success, Ambition, Drive, Passion,
Education, Real happiness, Compassion, Empathy, Integrity, Spirituality.
Let them keep their new world.
 5 LESSONS FROM PHILOSOPHER JAMES ALLEN

1. “Men do not attract that which they want, but that which they are.”
Everybody WANTS the same things, more or less.
We all want to be:
-Healthy & Fit
-Rich
-Free
-Good friends
It’s not about what you want

It’s about what you ARE.

How is your thought process?
Do you believe you can have these things?
Do your actions lead to these outcomes?
You can say that they are. But you can’t lie to the universe. It knows what you think
and do. And based on that you will get rewarded.

2. “You are today where your thoughts have brought you;

you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.”
Your thought process governs your actions.
You are a result of your day to day actions and habits.
Where you are today is a result of how you’ve lived your life.

If you are not satisfied with where you are.

Commit TODAY to make changes.
Write down where you want to be.
Act on those thoughts every single day.
If you have the belief + plan = It’s only a matter of time.
3. “Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself.”
Life throws obstacles at EVERYONE.
Eventually, something bad will happen to you.
How you react is NOT the result of the circumstances.
That’s you.
It’s who you are in the face of a challenge.

Think back to when life got hard.

Are you happy with who that person is?
Did you handle it well?
What can you learn from it moving forward?
What changes can you make to be better prepared?

4. “Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve
themselves.”
EVERYONE wants to be in a better place.
A nice house, a nice car, a good looking significant other, etc...
But what are you doing to achieve that?

If you are doing the same thing you’ve been doing the last 10 years with no changes.
How can you expect to level up in life?
Focus on improving yourself.
And all the other pieces have a way of lining themselves up.
Its the way the world works.

5. “The world steps aside for the man who knows where he is going”
Have a plan.
If you don’t even know what you want.
How the hell do you expect to get there?
I see so many people with the vaguest goals.
Yes, I know you want to be rich, everyone does.
But what does that mean to you?
What exactly do you want?
How exactly do you plan on getting there?
Be specific.
The more specific, the easier it will be.
 Medivhus
I talk a lot about fate and destiny, about changing your future and never losing hope.

Since I haven’t talked about this in a while (and we doubled in followers since then) I
wanted to do a thread about who Medivhus is and why. Gonna be a bit longer, please
bare with me.

For most of my life, I was an outsider even under friends.

When the time came for everyone to party and drink, which in Germany is early with
14/15, this didn’t improve.

While others were out I retreated even further into my shell, big dreams but no
hope...

As a result I ended up fat, depressed and lonely.

Having a variety of issues on top of that, OCD like behavior, addiction to gaming but
also no will to change. As I grew older I became worse, panic attacks and depression
joined into the mix. And then things got worse. While I was still an eternal student for
my bachelor’s degree in 2016 my mother collapsed at work. Out of the blue she had
an aneurysm and despite what the doctors tried she died after 16 days in a coma.

At this point, my grandma, my sister and I were completely lost. No income, no more
security, nothing. Somehow with my sister being in the military and me starting to
make a little money with my first apps we survived. Things were still bad, but it
looked like things were getting better, until summer 2017, when my grandma had a
stroke. Luckily I recognized this and through swift action, she survived and retained
most of her abilities, except for her left side which left her unable to do much on her
own. Since my sister was not able to be home, someone else had to step up.
I had to step up. This did not go well at first, through the now added anxiety and
worry I drove many people away.

Including a woman I was very fond of and who basically kept me going for that long.

I had to change, weakness was no longer an option. The choices had been taken away
by fate. My grandma was relying on me, so I started to take care of her and me.

Started working out and lost 14kg in 2 months, with this a lot of things started
changing. Confidence came, a bit more energy was there and I started to build my
business more. This was not a steep rise, panic attacks were still around, anxiety
through the roof. I still didn’t trust myself; I did have no faith or hope. Yes, we were
surviving, but that was about it. Yet, I kept going, climbing, because that’s what I had
been taught. Then end of last year, someone stole my identity and defrauded many
people. I as an innocent person was confronted with 20 years in prison and very high
fines for the acts of someone else.

I swore to god that if I made it through that, things would change.

March this year...

I finally got free from the claims, some say it was obvious this would happen, but you
can probably understand why I didn’t believe to be that "lucky".

Afterward, I thought about the situation more and I realized how "cool" I had stayed
compared to my old self. Then a voice in me echoed

"Whatever I have to face, Ill will overcome it" I had always helped people where I
could, but each of these events drove me to do more. Somehow became strong and
overcame. But at what cost? Could I have not done more earlier? Saved my mother?

She had bared so much on her own. Surely the stress played a part in her demise.
This is why I show people how to improve. Why I preach hope and tell you to become
better. The earlier you do, the fewer times you and your loved ones have to suffer.

If you are lost don’t give up. Train your mind with meditation and focus. Train your
body with weights and movement. Train your soul with beauty and nature. Become
what you should be, not what fate wants you to be. Hold your pain tight and use it to
guide others, so that they might avoid it.

You are the hero of your story. The one person to make all the difference in the world
for everyone around you. You can be a blessing or a curse and you have so much
power. All you need is faith and the will to make it happen. Trust me, you will be
okay.
 ALL OF US ARE BRANDED BY FATE!

Words have power over fate, and abusing them is how we get hurt.

Acceptance: the most abused word in our time.

What is acceptance?
The state of something being accepted.

This means you are completely okay with it AND don’t want to change it.

That is EXACTLY the problem. Accepting things like being out of shape, being sick, or
having a miserable life?

You’ll get STUCK in that place!

Never ever accept being in a bad spot!

Never accept ANYTHING you could change, however unlikely!

You are the main character, the hero, of your story, stop acting like a pawn!

Fate is what the gods see as your path, yet a hero doesn’t even accept fate.

A hero forges fate into destiny!

Twisting whatever you were given with your WILL to be more, overcoming all in your
way. Keep the acceptance for death BUT fight everything else tooth and nail.

Never back down from fate!

Stare into its eyes and force your will upon it!
Many of you already know this quote.

But how many do know why our why is so important? And how many know that not
all why are equal?

As we all know, we live in a finite world. A place with scarce resources and limited
time for each of us. Most of our hardships and worries are born from this truth. Yet
there is also infinity in this universe. It is ever-growing and time keeps flowing even if
we all perish. Humans are special in nature; we command both, the finite and the
infinite. Our why connects us to this infinite part of the universe. There are unlimited
dreams, hope, and visions. All we need to do is listen and follow through. Very simple
yet not easy at all. This is also the reason for not every why being equal.

A WHY that is linked to finite resources (money, status) is as weak as they come.

You will never have enough of them and never reach what you longed for, because
you had the illusion of having it all. On the other hand, a WHY based on a dream is
unrealistic in nature. Yes, you cannot reach this perfect world either, but there was
never the false hope of doing so.

Every inch you move closer is already a win because there was no possibility of ever
truly winning. Make your WHY a strong one, make it unrealistic and grand. Something
to die for but more importantly, something to live for. This is at the core of the quote.
This is where infinite power and energy lies. A grand WHY that will carry not only you,
but all in your life.
 WE ARE UNDOUBTEDLY IN STERNER DAYS

Not as bad as some times of the past have been, but worse than what most are used
to now. This is leading to the negativity that has no place in the human soul.

So where does it come from and how do we fix it?

Most of what you do and feel is subconscious, at least 90% of it.

Take a second and let that sink in deeply. Most of everything you see was created or
done "by accident"!

Ex: On a sunny day, people are happier and take more risks. On a rainy day, the
opposite happens. Negative News in the morning will frame your entire day
negatively. But way worse than that, even a negative thought will lead to the same
result. A chain reaction of negativity fueling itself over and over. And even worse, you
influence everyone you interact with...

Interestingly enough, knowing this will lessen or even remove the effect of it!

Our mind is powerful, if we teach it that something is influencing it, then it will
correct its behavior. Perception is huge in this, as everything we see is an "Illusion"

Nothing is ever as is.

Although people use destiny and fate interchangeably they are by no means the
same thing.

Let’s start with fate

Fate exists in a lot of mythologies, it is created by the gods and spun like a thread.
This thread has all the events of your life, birth to death. Fate is predetermined and
some views see it as fixed in time. If it is your fate to die a certain way or live a boring
life then that’s it.

That is if you subscribe to this line of thought, which ultimately makes all your actions
without consequences.

Now then, what is destiny?

Destiny has two meanings, that what could be and that what has already happened.
Let’s look at the latter half first, that what has already happened. This means any fate
(or destiny) that has come to pass, becomes destiny. But what about the other side,
that what could be?

Imagine yourself in 5 years in 2 situations

1. You changed nothing and your life is the same or worse. This is the fate of the
Average person.
2. You start improving and have more money/family etc. This is a possible destiny

Not everyone can achieve their destiny, in legends those who did usually were called
half-gods or similar.

Forging a destiny is twisting whatever fates the gods spun for you and growing more
out of it. This is of course neither easy nor fast

Think of it as the gods betting on your being average and you will having to overcome
this to become more.

Not everyone can do it, but those who do are put down in history.
The good thing is that it’s up to you if you are part of that group

All it takes is human will and vision

 WHY THE ODDS NEVER MATTER

No matter what you believe.

The light can never win no matter how hard it tries. Before there was something,
there was nothing. Chaos, Darkness and Nothingness are quite literally the default of
everything, light and order but a flash in the pan. But if this is true why does life
exist? If the battle cannot be won, why fight it at all? Why not surrender? You see
people think like this and use it as an excuse to never try or give up easily.

But they are wrong thinking that way. What does life do if we put it in harsh
unbeatable conditions?

It adapts and fights back harder! The worse the odds, the bigger the struggle, and in
that truths lies the key why the odds never matter for the hero. To live is to struggle,
to fight, to defy nature’s chaos and darkness. Yet here we are, all of us. Our mere
existence is proof that it does not matter how likely something is for us to succeed at
it. Next time when the odds are against you, remember:

You were meant to beat the odds, you have done so a million times by now. Every
time you should have been hurt or killed but got through. Every time you learned
something new and overcame a problem. The strength is within you.
I am surprised at how few people talk about hacking yourself into doing what you
have to. Our brain connects smells, sounds, tastes and knowledge/movement into
one thing. You can use this for a lot of things, let me bring some examples:

School
You need to learn and remember something for an exam. Chew the same flavor gum
while learning and in the exam. Listen to a simple melody for the topic while learning,
remember the melody in the exam. Having a specific lucky charm per topic can also
help (visual).

Training
Always wear the same work out shoes, don’t feel like training today? Put on the
shoes, your body knows what time it is, it will go along. You can also create triggers, I
clap my hands pretty hard once to zone into the training.

Diet

Place the food in a visible spot, either generally or in your fridge. When I was still
getting into the habit of drinking enough water I just placed all bottles on my desk in
the morning. When you open your fridge let the diety food be the first thing you see.

The advanced version of this is learning how to visualize all of these things and
building a memory palace around them.

Then you can combine a location, sound, smell and taste all in one instant way to a
thing in your mind, very powerful but takes some practice

A version that is a bit easier than this, and more commonly known, is of building
sentences out of topics/names/words and then remembering the whole sentence
(usually it should rhyme).

Learning cards are also a more basic version of this. If you forget things or just don’t
remember doing something then that’s your fault but something you can fix until the
habits have formed.
 Mindset Pill
Respect is neither asked nor earned, it’s commanded.
7 habits you can develop to command Respect
1. Seek Responsibility, Not Fame Or Fortune. With responsibility comes
opportunity, solve more problems with each iteration you make better
decisions, efficiency follows. You become role model.
2. Confidence Not Doubt. Confident man is at his best under stress, it lets you
exploit available asymmetry. Get things done, respect yourself, others will
follow.
3. Know When To Speak. Silence attracts respect, it is intimidating, it improves
relations. Know when to be silent to command respect. Speak only to improve
silence.
4. Endure Criticism. Criticism is as powerful as your reaction to it, nothing annoys
hater more than ignorance. Endure criticism without losing composure.
5. Constantly Dress, Speak And Act To Command Respect. The way you look and
carry yourself creates an impression on people you come in contact with. Be
professional, your visual image should reinforce respect
6. Avoid Drama. No drama = better team player, first be part of team, so you can
lead them. Nothing evaporates your reputation faster than drama. AVOID AT
ANY COST!!
7. Be Prepared To Stand Alone. Commanding respect will put you inevitably on
top and top is lonely. If you want to on top, prepare to be alone. Be
emotionally self reliant. Respect is about holding yourself to higher standards,
treating people fairly and getting things done.
 STEPS TO RECLAIM YOUR MASCULINITY, GET WHATEVER YOU WANT IN LIFE

1. Bust Myths
Stop believing that men and women are same. They are not same. Different doesn’t
make one gender superior to other. Instead of denying the differences, recognize
them and use them constructively.

2. Understand Masculinity

Men Create, Provide and Protect. Aggression, Dominance, Strength, Grit are
masculine virtues, which help men do their job. Stop looking at them in bad light,
harness them to your advantage. There’s no toxic masculinity, just misunderstood
masculinity.

3. Find Male Role Models

Learn by imitation. Develop healthy relationships with men. Be part of strong

masculine community. Unlearn previous notions of masculinity and embrace true
potential of your life energy.

4. You Are The Priority

Strength is foundation on which other masculine traits develop. Be strong both

mentally and physically. Lift weights, eat clean, meditate and avoid unnecessary
negativity. Please yourself, be better version of you.

5. Mission First

Masculinity was never meant to seek approval from femininity. Man requires
mission, man without mission is disgrace to his ancestors. Get mission and
relentlessly pursue it.
 6. Raise Standards

Every choice you make has consequences, men live by those consequences, learn to
be responsible

Practice, learn, implement, refine.

Commit to your marriage, honour your commitments
Become male role model.
7. Craft Your Son
Yes. Don’t raise, craft.

He shouldn’t have to reclaim.

By this you, not just help yourself but also create better future for society

Make sure your son knows how to harness the power of masculinity

It is by helping him, you help yourself. Masculinity is about embracing

responsibilities, pressure and leadership. It is about harnessing the superpower you
have. It is about being man.
 HABITS TO DEVELOP CRITICAL THINKING, FORM YOUR OWN OPINIONS: TURN
BRAIN INTO MIND

1. Understand Mental Process

Your brain naturally uses mental shortcuts to explain what’s happening around you

It’s evolved to be fast and automated. Be aware of your cognitive biases and
prejudices. Awareness is where it all starts.

2. Spend Time Thinking

Evaluate what you see, what you hear & what you read. Evaluation leads to better,
less inaccurate conclusions. If you don’t have time to think, you’ll never think critically

3. Motive

Everyone has motive and biases, sometimes you can detect them easily other times
it’s hard. Evaluate every message you receive in two ways, both with and without
consideration of *messenger* Understanding motive gives you fresh perspective.

4. Do Your Research

Take matters in your hands. Start evaluation with your own research, via books,
internet etc. Use newfound information to remove blind spots. The more relevant the
information the better the conclusion.

5. Question Everything

Right questions get you more information they open up new thinking paths. Question
to develop perspective, choose right answers over easy ones. Questioning is how you
develop, keep developing.

6. Question All Assumptions

Assumptions are formed to simplify the reality, however with time, they solidify to
become belief system. Don’t assume you are right. Assumptions are often tools and
forms of manipulation. It is by questioning old assumptions, you welcome new
beliefs.

7. Simple Is Efficient
New information, if irrelevant, increases the complexity of situation. It is
overwhelming. Filter out irrelevant information, use new one as tool to simplify the
decision. Always choose well thought out, yet simple decision.

Keep It Simple

Critical thinking is about, being able to think, to know how to make connections
between ideas and to know how to evaluate the information. It is about becoming
progressively, less and less wrong.
 INDECISION CAUSES MORE DAMAGE THAN BAD DECISION EVER CAN

Seven steps to become decisive

Be trusted as leader

1. All Decisions Are Not Equal

Categorize decisions based on whether they are consequential or not. Mix in

reversibility to understand the nature of decision. Automate/Delegate all
inconsequential and reversible decisions. Don’t waste time and energy.

2. Knowledge And Expertise

Start with insights about decision to be made. Knowledge comes from understanding
patterns, insight comes from analyzing them. Without proper knowledge and insight
only thing you can rely on is Luck.

3. Clear Strategy

Your understanding needs context of direction and strategy. Align personal goals with
organization’s agenda. Strategy gives you confidence in decision.

4. Direction > Destination

Learn to steer as you build momentum. Keep moving in right direction and
destination will be clearer. Where you are now is nowhere near as final as it may
seem. Worry about direction and you will not miss destination.

5. Courage

No amount of knowledge, Experience, strategy and direction will take decision for
you. Decision is yours and so are consequences. Data is past and consequences are
future, there’s no way to be 100% sure. You are leader, lead your tribe on to journey
into unknown

6. Bad Decision > No decision

Stop writing up plans and setting up goals that never gets done. Obsession over
details will only slow you down. If you are not getting extra insights by waiting, it is
time that you make decision. Be clear. Be Direct. Be Swift.

7. Deliver Results
Don’t ruin good decision by poor execution. Execution is about speed, conviction and
sense of urgency. Execution is about follow through; make sure you do justice to your
decision. Execute ruthlessly. Without decision there’s no leadership. Decisive leader is
responsible and accountable, he’s committed and courageous, he’s confident, he’s
quick, and he is leader.
LOYALTY IS MORE THAN JUST COMMITMENT, IT IS UNWAVERING FAITH. RECEIVED
ONLY BY WORTHY: WAYS TO BECOME WORTHY

1. Self Esteem
Decisions are responses to needs, needs that are physical, emotional and
philosophical. Target deficiency needs. Target self esteem, people want to look good,
make sure you make them feel so.

2. Sense of Belonging

Much like Beauty, true loyalty lies beneath the surface. People want to fit in. People
want to attach their identity to cause. Be that cause. Make them feel they belong

3. Compelling Reason

Give people something to root for, a compelling reason to resist competitive

elements. Infuse trust and shared values, nourish and revisit them frequently.
Winning is their reason to stick with you.

4. Design Win-Win

Winning is their reason to stick with you. Make sure both parties have stakes in each
others success. Encourage them to give more than they receive and it’ll all
compound. Win-win is sustainable. Master the art of designing it.

5. Desire
Desire works even in absence of rational thinking and reasoning. Make them feel
positive, it should build intense desire to attach their identity to your philosophy.
Appeal to inherent need of desire and foster loyalty.

6. Ownership
Give them sense of ownership. Make them feel proud and authoritative, they’ll wear
your ideals like badge. Authority motivates, it sustains and grows the following
beyond measures. They care about what they own.
 7. Cult
Build loyalty to the level that, rejecting you is like rejecting their values. Commitment
to you is virtue for them. Remember, don’t force it, let it cultivate organically. Loyalty
is about, commitment to cause, a purpose. It’s ability to stand behind your promises.
Loyalty doesn’t happen by accident, it is not sustained by accident. You earn
unequivocal loyalty only by conscious efforts.
 New Age Rebellion
Your Limbic System is under assault, I will tell you how to launch a staunch defense.

This article will go into depth about what your limbic system actually is and how you
can optimize it for great performance in the modern world. Read this article,
implement what is said and you will be ahead of 90%. I can guarantee it. How can I be
so certain? Most people don’t even know what their limbic system is. Let get into it!

First, what is the limbic system? Your limbic system is related to your emotions,
instincts and memories.

It contains four main components:

 Amygdala
 Hippocampus
 Hypothalamus
 Thalamus

Let’s cover what each of those 4 components is and what they are responsible for.

Amygdala:

Your amygdala is located in the medial temporal lobe and just in front of the
hippocampus (which we will discuss next). It is the emotional sensor of your brain
and it is where you learn to fear things. When the amygdala is stimulated, it can lead
to emotions like anger, violence, fear and anxiety. If damaged, it can lead to the
Kluver-Bucy Syndrome. Excessive alcohol can damage the amygdala. People that have
anxiety (possibly from a stimulated amygdala) tend to be prescribed benzodiazepines
which have a similar effect to alcohol.
Hippocampus:

Your hippocampus is in close proximity to the amygdala. It is responsible for forming

and storing new memories. So, basically consolidating short term memories into long
term memories. A damaged hippocampus leads to anterograde amnesia, the inability
to form new memories. Your old memories are still retained, but you can’t form new
ones.

Hypothalamus:

Your hypothalamus is a small group of nuclei that play a role in regulating the
endocrine system (due to its close connection to the pituitary gland). It regulates the
autonomic nervous system which consists of ‘fight or flight’ and ‘rest and digest’. It
also plays a role in regulating your sleep system.

Thalamus:

This is just above the hypothalamus and is a large mass of grey matter cells. It forms
part of the main relay system in your brain. Sensory and motor signals are sent to and
from the spinal cord and cerebrum. This has a big connection with the see, hear, feel,
taste and touch senses. Why is that important? Because those senses I just listed
have a huge impact on your emotions. Seeing, hearing, feeling or tasting something
unpleasant is undoubtedly going to have a negative impact on your emotions, so, I
hope that by now you understand the basics and the importance of your limbic
system. Congratulations, you are now more educated than most people about their
own brain. By the way, if you wonder why so many people are incapable of using
their brain, it is because they haven’t a clue what it consists of or how powerful it is.

Anyway, let us move on to how we can actually optimize your limbic system in order
for you to have a great performance in the modern world.

1. Anti Inflammatory Diet

I urge you to strictly avoid these things:

  Processed, GMO foods. These are the big killers, I could rant all day
about these, but that is for another day.
 Vegetable oils (just because it has the word ‘vegetable’ doesn’t mean it
is healthy)
 Refined sugar
 Refined carbohydrates
 Artificial sweeteners

Here are a few things you should incorporate into your diet:
 Grass fed meats
 Turmeric, garlic, ginger
 Bone broth
 Wild salmon
 Green vegetables
 Quality fats (avocados, eggs, coconut, olives)
 Ghee

2. Optimise Your Breathing

This is a big one seen as though so many people go through their lives
breathing wrong, and they don’t even know it. Yes you can breathe wrong.
This is the way most people breathe: Short, shallow breaths through their
mouths. This is dangerous. There is absolutely no chance that essential tissues
are getting enough oxygen to undergo respiration efficiently. Not only does
this inhibit your organ performance, but your mind performance as well. It is
shown to increase anxiety levels. Remember what I said about anxiety earlier?

Now, let’s move on to the correct way to breathe: Long, deep breaths through
the nose. It’s even better if you can spend 15-20 minutes of your day just
consciously breathing, be aware of every breath.
 3. Reduce Electromagnetic Fields
Electromagnetic fields alter your vibrations as a human on a spiritual level. I
don’t need studies to prove this, try it out for yourself. Here are some
actionable steps you can take to reduce the electromagnetic fields in your
environment:
 This one is taking yourself out of the environment – go for more walks
in nature and take no gadgets with you.
 Turn off appliances when not in use, fully switch them off.
 Turn the Wi-Fi off before going to sleep.
 Put your phone on aeroplane mode whenever you can.
 No gadgets an hour before bed

I will not provide you with sources on this information, just try it out yourself. You
will notice a difference. If you want sources, go and listen to the ‘experts’.

4. Gratitude And Laughter

There are 4 main hormones you want to be aware of and regulate when it
comes to this. Dopamine, oxytocin, serotonin, endorphin.
5. Optimise Your Sleep
This one is important. If you sort your sleep patterns out you will be ahead of
most people in terms of energy and rational thinking. Most people don’t even
get 6 hours of sleep, the optimal is 8. I understand some people can’t do that
due to certain circumstances. But here are a few things you can do:
 Get sun exposure during the day (no, it doesn’t give you cancer)
 Regular exercise (not before bed)
 Have 0 caffeine 10 hours within sleeping
 Supplement with magnesium (do some research as to which
magnesium you should be supplementing with.
 Avoid blue light from gadgets before going to bed (there are glasses you
can buy that specifically block blue light.

KEVLAR CORE STRENGTH

Do you want a core of steel?

One that makes you EXPLOSIVE, and take Gorge Foreman’s left hook to the body?
Below I will be breaking down exercises that:

- Work multiple muscle groups

- Save you hours of pointless time in the gym

If you want to be STRONG / ATHLETIC / DYNAMIC:

The core should be a top priority.
You can leave the crunches behind in the women’s only section of gyms, where they
belong.
This is the real deal.
Below are actionable exercises that you can use, TODAY...

1. KROK ROWS

2. Eso wtf? ‘Why are you starting this with a back exercise?’
This is why: You will do these rows as HEAVY as you can for 5-6 repetitions, 4-6 sets.

3. Keeping your torso straight, demands anti-rotation.

Your OBLIQUES will be ON FIRE. Also working the back.
2. MEDICINE BALL THROWS
Barely anyone trains ROTATION in the gym...
You should be the outlier that does.
This blasts your obliques and deep core muscles into another dimension.

ALSO...

You are working your serratus, the ‘puncher’s muscle’ all at the same time.
Notice how all these exercises hit multiple birds with the 1 stone?

We don’t all have 2-3 hours a day to waste in the gym, so I am making your life as
easy as can be!
REPS: 3-4 sets, 8 each L & R arm

3. AB-ROLL OUTS
$5 investment, $5MM ROI core strength.

MASTERING THE FOCUS GAME
Having problems focusing?
The 7 Rules To Master Your Focus And Be More Productive
Nowadays, computers and mobile devices can do almost anything for us.

Power in the palm of your hand.

But with a great power comes a great responsibility. Eventually, you’ll realize your
time is not enough.

I realized that when I started my journey on twitter. And I was wrong. And I’m sorry,
but so do you.

Truth is...

You’re not lacking time, you’re just not taking advantage of time how you should.

And that’s mainly because you can’t focus.

Here are some techniques, resources and tips I used to master my focus.

1) Control Your Notifications

Not a surprise? yeah, I Know.

Still, a lot of people can’t spend more than 30 minutes without seeing their phone.
Social media is designed to make you want to take a look at it frequently, and you
don’t need it.
You DON’T need to see what’s happening every damn hour. You just THINK that you
have to.

So, turn off your notifications and flip down your phone.
That way, the only way someone will be able to contact you will be by phone call.
2) Set Productive Times

How can you be more productive if you’re not organized? That’s why rule 2exists.

Make a schedule of the times that you NEED to be more productive and get stuff
done. If you stick to it, you’ll realize that you have time to do everything.

For example, my schedule is:

5:30 - 6:30: Meditate

6:30 - 7:45: Work out

7:45 - 8:30: Schedule tweets
8:30 - 9:00: Breakfast

And so on and so on.

3) The Pomodoro Technique

This technique is divided in six steps.

But basically it means you work for 25 minutes, and rest for 5.

You work on one task and ONLY one task during those 25 minutes. You should also
have a notebook to write down anything that’s not related to that task. Tweet ideas,
reminders, to do’s and any other thing that you think about. You write it.

That way you can do it later. Without losing focus.

4) Use Headphones
Headphones are like a shelter. Most of them aisle the sound so you can avoid all the
noise. Also, it’s like you’re wearing a sign that says "Don’t mess with me!"

How cool is that? So basically, use your freaking headphones!

5) Clean It Up!

What’s different with this advice is that it’s not only about your desk. I’m talking
about your inbox, your browser tabs, your desktop folders etc.

Start being mindful of the space around you! Your peripheral vision can observe
much more than you think. If you remove all unnecessary things your mind will be
relaxed. If your mind is relaxed, it’ll work better.

6) Find Out Your Zone

Identify at what hours you’re most productive.

Once you have that time gap, assign the most important tasks to these hours in your
schedule (Rule2).

For me it’s around 10:00AM, if you’re some kind of owl it might be at midnight.

However, find that time and protect it with your life!

7) DO NOT multitask

This can seem like something good but it is terrible for your health.

Your anxiety levels will increase the stress levels too and you will be 20%-30% less
productive!

Focus in one thing and don’t change the task until you’re done.

Or until you’ve spend much time trying to finish it.

shows you a motivational quote.

- Tomato Timer: You can use this to practice the pomodoro technique.

- Self-Control: Blocks out distracting websites for a set amount of time, you can even
make a white list for sites that you don’t want to block (It only works on Mac).

- Forest App: This is my favorite. The concept is very atypical, I’ll let you check it!

The 5 pillars to take control of your life
Become the man you always wanted to be by following these 5 pillars.

I / Your beliefs shape your future
They determine your actions
If you lost yourself before you started, you won’t win.

II / Speak when necessary

As I like to say,
Empty cans make the most noise.

You have two ears, and one mouth.

Learn to listen to what others are saying before you speak.

Add value to a discussion.

III / Meditate
Whether you had a painful interesting or mundane day...
Sit down, and get in touch with yourself.
Don’t run away.
Analyze your day, face the darkness of your mind.
Don’t let distractions take you away from yourself
IV / Crush your fears

"We are frightened more often than hurt; and we suffer more from our imagination
than from reality."

Seneca, Letter XIII

Your life is not as bad as you think it is.

You don’t live your life, you run away from it.
You are not living your life to the fullest because you are trying at all costs to avoid
circumstances that never happened.

V / The importance of your peer group

The people who are by your side define you.
If you have 5 friends who play video games all day,

You will become like them.

Now choose 5 people who are rising.

You will be pushed to become like them.

Stick to these 5 pillars every day of your life.

By applying these tips, you can be sure that your life will change dramatically.

THE WAY TO SELF IMPROVEMENT

The path to improving self is the most difficult and impossible task one can take.
The struggle is real and the sacrifices are more intense than you can accept.
In one moment you will feel like you have improved but the next moment will keep a
new challenge in your way.

Suddenly you will feel like giving up on your task, drowning in the ocean of
hopelessness. This is how most people fail in the path of self improvement. Every day
you will face challenges, hardships, and sacrifices and in some days you will feel like to
give into your impulses. Impulses like going out for a party or numbing your senses by
getting drunk etc.

This is the escape mechanism for avoiding reality by lying to self. Remember: If you
need to numb your senses just to feel good, then you are not utilising your mind and
body to its potential. Soon taming your uncontrolled emotions and desires will
become more challenging day by day.

You will slowly fall deep into the dark abyss of incompetence by accepting it as your
destiny. Blaming, excuses and complaining will be your second nature. You will accept
the way of a victim. You will feel that the whole world is conspiring against you by
taking your opportunities. Consumed by the envy, Failing will be your remaining
option. So, learn to use your mind and body to its fullest, once you have improved
your faculties everything will fall into its place. Improving self is more like improving
your faculties to perceive what others miss. This is the way to become Unstoppable.
The way to Conquer.
 THE TALE OF HATRED

Hate is a deep self misery one goes through either by past pain and suffering or by self
sabotaging attitude.

Hate is the cloak people put in order to hide their incompetence and laziness.

It sometimes also comes in the disguise of jealousy, anger, incompetence,

resentment.

If you hate or are jealous of someone then you need to fix your life.

The Upside Of Hatred

Hate is not an absolute emotion, but a partial form of incomplete desire.

People never want the whole aspect of your life, rather than, the current status you
are enjoying.

As you know people will like you for your money you are earning or how wealthy you
are but they will never ever try to take some misery out of your life.

This proves, most people just want to live the pleasures you are experiencing, and
never gives any fuck about other things.

If people hate or are jealous of you, then you are already successful in some aspects
of your life.

People are never jealous with you completely, they are jealous of something that
they lack.

So more people HATES you, equals more SUCCESSFUL you are.

RISING ABOVE THE HATE.

Hate is such a toxic attitude that will slowly rip your peace out of your life, letting you
do some of the worst acts possible, just to make you feel good. No matter what you
try to do, the void still remains.

It will make you to pull others down just to level up with them, rather than, rising to
the apex with your born genius.

Transmute the energy of hatred to build others, this is the way to rise above it and
build yourself up.

Uplift others to uplift yourself.

 THE DELUSION OF SUCCESS

Success is not a dream or a random event. It only happens through continuous

improvement, sacrifice and commitment. The amount of these qualities employed by
us will define the trajectory of our fate.

Most of the people have a belief that being successful is easy, Or some random
successful beings owes him the secret to it. Some people think that those rare
successful beings hold the way to success and hide it from the common man.

Those who have found it, knows that how it can be achieved. Those who are yet to
find should keep seeking the ways to attain it. Protesting about not getting it is a
mind of a victim, who may never have the access to it.

The reality of success is: It is always a conscious process with daily micro adjustments
of thoughts and actions one takes, throughout his life. It is not some predefined
formulation that can be used by anyone. It needs your Energy, It needs your
Awareness. Keep Improving.
 HOW TO AVOID DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY

Because of serious exposure to all the unnecessary information, our mind gets
confused to process the information properly. It is like eating food again just after
having your meal; the problem arises is, indigestion. The same goes for the mind too.

Another factor why most people nowadays are depressed or having so many mental
disorders is because of some negative emotional factors overwhelming them like
envy, anger, and sometimes our incapability to perform better than others.

Common reasons for Depression are:

1. Social Media: They have trained you to compete, compete, and compete with
everyone throughout your life. When you see other people who are happier
than you (are they really happy?), going for more vacation than you, spending
more than you. You automatically feel that you are left behind or you are
worthless, hence making you depressed.
2. Envy & Incompetence: Since you feel like you are left behind, naturally you
feel like the other person is some way exploiting you, or playing some games
behind your back to stay ahead of you, so to overcome that you borrow the
power form envy. Envy never makes you any better, rather than, it will take
you into the deep abyss of darkness where the darkness in the form of
depression awaits for you. Envy comes (as a friend in disguise to save you)
when you accept that you are already lost or when you accept that you are not
capable to fight and take what’s yours.

The Solutions:
1. Be Grateful: If you have your mother, father, siblings, grandparents, children’s,
and other family members with you, earning for your family, breathing clean
air, drinking clean water, and eating delicious food daily then you have no right
to be depressed. Snap out of it.
 2. Be Conscious: It is not about some spiritual funky term which is hard to grasp.
Being aware of your emotion when it arises is the best way to deal with any
situation you face in life, may it be depression, frustration, or anxiety.

Once you catch your thought about being depressed by remaining aware, bombard
with questions:
- Why it occurs?
- Am I incompetent?
- What can I do to surpass this state of incompetence?
- How will I do it?
More questions = better solution.

This deep introspection will help you go deep inside the problem. How you can break
something? By going deep into its core. To enter the core of your thought and
destroy it from within.

Some other questions you may ask are:

- Will it matters after 6 months or 1 year from now? If “YES”, then how can I solve it?
If “No” then why I am holding onto it? Depression is never a problem, but you are
definitely the solution for everything.
 THE ANCIENT INDIAN SCIENCE OF HEALTH AND WELLNESS #AYURVEDA

Ayurveda Series: 1

Originated in India more than 5000 years ago, Ayurveda is a natural system of
lifestyle, medicine and treatment which focuses on the ways to live a healthy and
disease free life.

Often referred as the “Mother of All Healing”, The Sanskrit word Ayurveda is can be
broken down into (Ayur) meaning Life, (Veda) meaning Knowledge or Science. So it is
basically the science or knowledge of Life. While Modern health systems focus on
how to cure a disease, but Ayurveda stresses on the prevention (since: Prevent is
better than cure) and reinforce ones well-being through the intricate balance
between mind, body, and spirit. This balance is achieved through use of Whole
Natural Foods, Diets, Herbs, Lifestyle Changes, Yoga, Pranayama etc.

Ayurveda works by integrating the external and external world with the help of the
five great elements (PanchaMaha-Bhoota). It is believed that everything in this
universe is made of these five elements. The five elements are Earth (Prithivi), Water
(Jal), Fire (Agni), Air (Vayu), Space (Akash) and these elements are associated with
overall health of a human being.

Any ailment in our body indicates the imbalance of these elements. These elements
when combined together forms three unique life energies (Functional Principles) or
substances (Dosha) that decides the quality of one’s life.

The quantity of each of this substance also dictates how the body works. Every
individual inherits special mixture of these three Dosha (Vata, Pitta, Kapha), So,
Ayurveda mainly focuses in balancing these “Doshas”, because all the disorder
happens in the body, when any of these three energies are misbalanced in one’s
body.

Weak Men Create Authoritarian Structures: Four Factors That Contribute

The modern world has eroded masculine strength, creating a foundation of

weakness.
Cultivating extended adolescence and learned dependence, turning manhood into
timid and indefinite boyhood. This leads to a collection of men living in apprehension
and fear, looking for pacification. We have replaced strength for frailty in the
masculine individual. Do so at our own peril. Here are some principles that need to be
avoided, if you want to cultivate masculine strength in boys:

 Overprotection
 Rejection of independence and individuality
 Avoidance of discomfort
 Abandonment of masculine ritual

1. Overprotection
As boys we used to be set loose into the world to make mistakes, get hurt, solve
problems and tackle reality. Now, the maternal overprotection of society robs young
men and boys of this opportunity, replacing competence with self-doubt, and
ingenuity with learned helplessness, impeding the development of the masculine
psyche thus cultivating weakness.

2. Rejection of Independence and Individuality

Being robbed of the opportunity to develop character and competence through

adversity in boyhood, young men extend their adolescence and continued
dependence on a parental structure into adulthood. Too anxious to rely on
themselves, and terrified of hardship or failure, they continue to seek parental like
structures well into adulthood or worse, indefinitely. They now lack the resiliency to
face the world independently, as an individual of strength and will.

3. Avoidance of Discomfort

The modern world has created excess comfort, excess dependence and excess fear.
Young men are taught to avoid hardship, or continue to live in childish fantasy,
shunning the burden of male responsibility. Seeking only comfort and consumption,
the modern diluted man, rejects discomfort and creation. This avoidance leads to a
lack of coping skills, creating frightened timid men incapable of standing confidently
on their own.

4. Abandonment Of Masculine Ritual

Masculine ritual was once a must in an adolescent boy’s life. Forcing a challenge upon
him, which would mirror the hardships he will be forced to face in the world. This was
often carried out by a strong and masculine father, or group of men who help the boy
confront difficulty, facilitating a transition into newly embraced manhood,
symbolizing a breaking of the childish bond with the mother, paving the way for
secure independence. In a modern feminized society, we reject these principles,
creating men who are easily moved to fear; men who are easily manipulated.
Continuously searching for a substitute parent in the state; for a structure of
discipline they cannot impose upon themselves. They seek this to quell their anxiety
of the world and independence. As these un-integrated and ineffective childlike men,
give rise to authoritarian ideals. Pacified by excess rules and restricted freedoms that
create the perception safety. Desperate to have someone provide for them, and to
be hidden in a collective societal mind, fearful of independent strength and
responsibility, truly fearful of life.
Do not deprive young men the opportunity of strength and self-confidence
Reject the modern degradation of traditional masculine development, and allow boys
to grow into men capable of facing the hardships of life. Creating integrated,
masculine, individuals, who thrive on independent strength and immovable character
who have the will to reject authoritarian structure and the courage to tackle life. Men
of honour.
 ON UNCERTAINTY AND STEPPING INTO THE UNKNOWN

You have not evolved to live in safety, comfort and superficiality. You are born into
the unknown. Live in the unknown and one day, die, passing into the greatest of
unknowns.

Because of this you must learn to embrace and challenge the uncertainties of life. It is
part of existence. But you must do so from a strong foundation, both physically and
mentally. Build this foundation on solid ground, not the constantly shifting sands of
chaos. Too much chaos without stability will engulf you and paralyze you in fear.
Make order of the unknown, as you are designed for this. Bring some semblance of
structure to the chaos that is all around you. It is your duty in life. There is much
insight about self and the world to be gained, as you confront these unknowns.
Without venturing beyond the limitations of your comfort, you are unable to grow.
Controlled by fear, living in stagnation. You must walk the path between chaos and
order, to bring understanding to reality. The corpus callosum, connecting
hemispheres, the manifestation of meaning and purpose to find the way forward.

This is so important, because today so many seek to live in what is known, safe and
comfortable, to live in superficial indulgence, fearful of that which makes them
anxious. Afraid of pain, afraid of life, of death. This is the wrong mode of being and it
will lead you down a road of degradation. You will weaken in the face of adversity.
You will soften, giving way to passivity and worse still.

You may subconsciously seek destruction of self, others and civilization to create the
chaos your brain seeks to order. This is why need and must seek the unknown. But do
so from a solid foundation, so you can continue to amplify your abilities, sense of
resolve and bring an honest representation of virtue to the world to harden yourself.
To create a better version of reality for all who are connected to you.
To strike the balance between chaos and order, this brings freedom of mind
dissolution of time and deep fulfilling experience. So, remember, without uncertainty
and the bravery to venture into the unknown.

We deprive ourselves not only of growth, but of life, wisdom and understanding.
Without challenge, resistance and ambivalence we languish as human beings or
worse, descend the world into chaos.

Without death, there is no life without dark, no light, without sadness, no hope for
happiness and without challenge, and existence only half lived. Face the unfamiliar,
walk the path, create the way forward for the world. This is what it means to be a
human being to be truly alive is to live beyond the finitude of your vision and
immediate security.

Be firmly rooted in order. But venture out and grapple with the necessary foe of
chaos. This is life. This is truly what it means to be alive. This is where all possibilities
lie.
 TASK ORGANIZATION:

 Day Planner:
Detailed schedule with time increments for your daily schedule
 Larger Planner:
Work to-do list/meetings for day, week, month and actionable items
 Whiteboard:
Categories
1. Work
2. Courses
3. Ideas
4. Housekeeping
5. Awaiting responses
 Whiteboard Divided Into Urgency Level
Red: Critical (Needs done/followed up, today or tomorrow latest)
Green: Urgent (Needs to be done within the week)
Blue: Low/Back-burner (future ideas or tasks for consideration)

This may seem like a lot, but you won’t miss tasks or ideas this way. Order can be
essential to a creative mind.
 Remain Calm During Stressful Situations:

Remaining calm under pressure is not always an easy task. After being in thousands of
highly intense situations over the last decade, it can still be a very challenging ordeal
The good news is, that if you train yourself mentally, you can be the calm that
descends upon a room of chaos. The structure of stability in a sea of turbulence,
bringing a collective sigh of relief to everyone involved. So, here is a my simple
approach:

1. Preparation
You need to prepare yourself for intensity. If this is an event you know you may
encounter within your career field, you need to prepare. Put the work in, master the
knowledge, hone the skills needed to perform. Repetition is crucial, because you
need a framework to build off of and something to always fall back on. Without
preparation, you will be at an immediate disadvantage, so put the work in now, to be
competent later. This applies to physical and mental preparation equally. The more
you practice and prepare, the more second nature your skills will become

2. Self-Belief
Whatever the stressful situation that may arise, you will only conquer it by
developing self-belief. I am not talking about being arrogant or living in your ego. But
you will need to be confident in your skills and your mindset to triumph. With
confidence you can confront things as they appear and be comfortable adapting.
Tackling them with confidence and efficiency, this is where you need to visualize your
success and imagine completing the task, over and over. Visualize your success and
what that will look like. This will ensure you have an idea of how the event will go,
and the steps you need to take to be successful
3. Anticipate Problems

You are preparing, you are creating self-belief, now you need to anticipate the
downsides. This is the other of positive visualization. What this will allow you to do, is
see where things may go wrong and develop a plan to mitigate these risks. This is not
meant to instill fear, but get you comfortable with the reality that things do not
always go as planned. Allowing you to live problems before they occur. You will not
be able to anticipate every problem, but you can get used to the idea that plans
change.

4. Breath Work

The first three items were pre-work, done before the event, to prepare your mind.
This step is pre-work, but also to be used in the moment. Before events arise you can
work on breathing through meditation, yoga or even as you are visualizing the
situation, synch your breath to actions. Always focus on slowing and controlling
breath. This is very important. One of the first things to breakdown when a person
starts to panic is their breath. They shorten it, hold it, make it rapid and shallow; all
sorts of dysfunctional patterns arise. This is why one of the best things to mitigate
stress and regain focus during periods of intensity is to focus on your breath. You
must learn to get out of your thoughts and bring your awareness to your breath
allowing you to regain control of the situation. Focus on long, slow, deep breaths.
There are many techniques you can actively use for intense situations, box breathing,
meditative breathing, your own developed pattern. Whatever it may be, learn to slow
down and take deep breaths. Not only will focus on breath shift you out of your
racing thoughts, into the present situation. But it will physiologically help you fight
the adrenaline, by stimulating a slight parasympathetic response. Working on your
breath is crucial, do not forget it.
5. Shut Down Negative Thoughts

Dealing with an extreme situation can lead to all sorts of negative thoughts. Even if
you prepare, visualize, anticipate problems and work on your breath, if the situation
descends into chaos, your mind may as well. You must resist this urge. Severe
situations require laser focus, and this is not the time to be lost in negative thoughts.
Immediately strike down negativity that enters your mind, before it can take hold and
destroy your resolve. Positive affirmations during the lead up or during the event may
help “I am cool, I am calm, I am focused.”

Something that builds your confidence in the moment. I used to repeat “I have ice in
my veins and iron will” over and over, when thing felt out of control. Whatever the
tactic, do not entertain negative energy in the moment; remain focused on the task
and unwavering in your mindset. Not thinking, but creating a mantra of confidence

6. Be Present

As mentioned before, when stressful situations arise, it is not the time to be lost in
thought. Now is the time to be here, in the moment, focused on the task and
executing. Do not entertain a whirlwind of chatter in the mind, breaking your focus
and detracting from your brain-body connection. Focusing on your breath is a good
start, but you must also bring aware to your muscles, your posture, and movements.
Relax your muscle if they are tight, relaxation and fluidity is critical. Switch your
posture from frightened and cowering, to someone exuding control and confidence.

Be absorbed in your movements, in a place beyond thought, wholly focused on

completion of what needs to be done. Presence will allow you to give your best
performance and increase the odds of success.

Taking these physical actions will put your best self into play and help manage
intense stress, to create an environment of success.
7. Execution

If you can bring all these elements into play, you will have a good chance at success.
However, if you are on the brink of success do not break your focus or mindset, not
even for a second. Make sure you are disciplined during the event, but continue to
uphold yourself for a while after before you breathe a sigh of relief. Situations that
were under control may again deteriorate without vigilance. Be calm, but be on alert.
Make sure the situation has been completely resolved or completed before you ease
up. Do not celebrate victory early.

8. Reflection and Debrief

After the event play it over in your mind and dissect your performance. Did you crack
under pressure? If so, what areas do you need to improve. Resist the urge to punish
yourself or to diminish yourself. This is reflection not judgment. Acknowledge your
failure but develop a plan for betterment you are stronger than you know you just
need to work on implementation. If you did well, was there anything you could have
done better? Be honest, if it went mostly well, be happy, but focus on improving
weaknesses. To be a master of mind, make sure you are completely rounded in your
approach, no half measures here. With implementation of these steps, you will
create the atmosphere for calm, clear execution, increasing your chance of success
under extreme stress. Remember, you can be the force of strength, delivering a
tranquil breath to chaos and despair. A person others can depend upon, a person
who faces chaos with strength.
 ON JUDGMENT AND ITS PURPOSE:

You will always face judgment in life from society, strangers and those closest to you.
But most important of all, you will face judgment from yourself. No matter how hard
you try to ignore, repress or avoid your judgment of self. Your daemon, true
conscience, the one aligned with your core values, will be heard and this judgment is
not to be ignored. Deviation from the advice of your inner judge creates increasing
misalignment in your life. Without alignment, you will be lost, adrift, and unable to
resist nefarious intent or recognize the evil that presents itself in the world. Easily
swayed and easily deceived

This judgment is the internal gift of divinity, allowing you to maintain character, to
withstand the evil that lurks within good intentions. The voice that guides the
conscious mind to discover the truly virtuous path, the one that beckons you to be
fully realized
This, the universal force that rejects the lower parts of your being, is truly a cherished
gift. For it will guide you towards your best self. It is the piece of you that is in higher
contact with the universe, pulling you toward the path. Pulling you towards more with
alignment comes personal betterment, which expands outward into the universe.
Creating stability, prosperity and peace, a version of lived heaven, found in rejection
of what we know to be wrong. Your internal critic is your rational optimist, revealing
the trajectory of positive change.
You ignore this counsel at your own peril. For without the unity of mind and action,
you will languish and with you, languishes the cohesive framework that shapes the
world.
 ATTEMPTING TO OVERCOME YOURSELF

The biggest obstacle in life is you; your thoughts, your actions, your habits, your
patterns, your programming. You must align your values and oversee your actions, if
you wish to conquer your lower self. To seize the weakness that exists within learn to
tame the mind, forgoing the habits which take from you and build those which
strengthen your resolve. Let your thoughts become intentions and intentions actions.
Honest actions that reflect who and what you want to be in this life. Dissolve the
patterns of your behavior programmed by family, friends, and institutions and most
importantly programmed by you. Strike toward the heart of these impressions,
working to dissect and shift them. You have the dominion to take charge.

But first you must learn to watch what you do, watch what you say and see where you
falter. The parts of you that are foreign, maligned with the circumstances which satisfy
your spirit, let the old growth of lowly habituation be set ablaze, so new seeds of
fortune can take root for new growth to prosper. You are your biggest obstacle,
always. So, do not fall prey to fickle urges of the immediate mind. Your superficial
satisfaction is not worth your purposeful resolve your eternal quest for betterment
until you seek to understand yourself in this way. To observe, dissect and correct the
present will always be at the mercy of your former self. Where past forms present and
present shapes a future undesired. So always observe and conquer your mind. Shape
a man marbled in moral principle worthy of one’s own admiration to walk the path of
authentic expression. The layers of the lower being cast aside, the true self bared.
