The #CovingtonCatholic debacle is a crystallizing event in the Culture War
The murder media WAY overplayed this one
They didn’t just act ugly,
they demonstrated vitriol and malice, they WANT to attack children and families

Years back in high school I learned a statistic of sorts in one of my history classes
-Any letter a politician gets represents at least 100 of their constituents
It sounds made up, but in actuality it does reflect the power of Network Effects

There is a certain kind of Man, an uncommon man

If you remove the difficulty from his work, he will take on more work to compensate

If you give him leisure, he'll flee from it
If you give him a soft bed, he'll want a cold room and a thin blanket, if any
If you give him wealth, he'll not use it
You give him comfort, he'll take on anything that gives him a satisfying pain

Had an interesting conversation with a new friend tonight, Indian gentlemen
He started lifting weights a year ago, was amazed at the changes in identity, confidence, performance
Realized that he'd been selling himself short all the years prior

Most men resign themselves to being chubby, soft bodied, and just accept this as normal

There is no Mission for you to find, because a mission is self created

There is no magical state of emotion where you do one thing one time, and suddenly you KNOW that "THIS IS IT"

If that does happen at all, its LUCK
And even if it does happen, it betrays a more mature reality
-NO ONE does the exact same thing every year of their life until they die
Even if you do decide on something, the process still evolves continuously

What that decision is about is irrelevant, because the principle remains the same
You are increasing their certainty on their decision making
This requires knowing what influences people's decision making

Ive been watching professional wrestling clips lately,
Mainly from the 1980s, and early 1990s
-I cannot put myself into the mindset of how someone is entertained by this honestly. Its obviously staged and "camp"
yet the audience engagement is INSANE

The big personalities
The feuds that get staged as "good and evil"
The scapegoating, the appeal to the underdog
The way each wrestler is characterized and develops a larger than life persona that people identify with

These kinds of relationships have a unique dynamic,
The emotional intensity is off the charts, the sexual chemistry can be buck nasty fantasy level

The relationship takes over your whole life and breaks you down everywhere else

Gentlemen,
if you get cheated on, understand that cheating is never random
It's highly highly highly likely there were many signs you missed
And its highly likely you never perceived your ex with any real clarity
What you cannot see can & will hurt you

The implication is not that all of psychology is worthless, the study of the human mind and human nature and human behavior is an authentic subject to study
The criticism is that a psychologist/therapist is an ultimate authority
They’re not
An ex con has more insight to human nature than most psychologist
The most helpful people are those who possess wisdom, experience, and the ability to listen
