If you're hoping to raise great kids, read this:

1. Children's personality cannot be engineered Modern parents believe in the blank slate theory. They believe their child’s personality can be engineered for optimal behaviours.

This is not how it works.

The Female Frame

To understand why relationships can become high friction, why society is becoming a police state, and why women can betray you like no other, you need to learn the female frame. Before we begin, this is the male frame:

- Standards
- Interests
- Habits
- Assertiveness.

It is a "frame" because it represents a defended boundary.

The point is -- there is "structure" to your beliefs and you need a WILL to defend them.

"You are the average of the 5 people you hang around most."

We've all heard this before, but why does it work?

Once you know the answer, you'll completely change how you approach your life.

// THREAD First, the scientific explanation:

It works because of the dopamine system.

Our dopamine system compels us towards "surprise."

"Surprise" is anything good we did not see coming.

Human progress requires "surprise" (otherwise we stagnate).

Dopamine moves us towards progress.

THE DIGITAL 3RD PLACE

Men are starting to combine forces online to get fitter, more attractive, more dominant, and make more money.

Here's how it works 👇 There's a trend happening online with masculine men congregating in digital spaces to make up for the inability to do it in the physical world.

The problem is values alignment: most groups are anti-masculinity (church, for example)

Outside of the gym, men have no options.

17 things that rob your power as a man: 1. Your partner

Surely I'll get the ho hum pairbonder who is deeply satisfied serving the power of his wife, but if approached incorrectly, the female persuasion can rob you of your power like no other

There is a reason male testosterone levels tank once shackled up.

I had some thoughts on Tate's tone change in his final message video I wanted to share.

With my own run-ins with the woke mob, I think I can explain what might have happened behind the scenes...

👇 First off, I agree with basically everything Tate says, with the only difference being I'm monogamous and he's polygamous.

But even then, since I understand the Tournament Male, I understand Tate's views completely:

The Tournament Male Fraternity was an idea I had to create a male congregation point in a digital space, cantered around fitness and frame.

I provide the high level fitness coaching program I developed over 12 years, and have added additional aspects around coaching frame. The fitness infrastructure is straightforward: I have a course all members complete that teaches my crazy effective methods on portion control and working out.

We use my app to deliver & track workouts.

Everyone is constantly working on their fitness in a social setting.

When I cured my Dad’s prostate cancer, I learned first hand the racket of cancer and how they exacerbate the problem.

Their first action is to lower PSA (prostate specific antigen) produced by the prostate.

Here’s why that is monumentally dumb: The antigen produced by the cancerous prostate is the signal the prostate is sending out to the immune system that there’s a localized problem in the prostate.

The antigen binds to dendritic cells which go back to the lymph nodes and tell them to release killer T cells

3 ways to unfuck your life in 1 week

Thread 1. Learn the elimination principle

Make a list of 5 things that are harmful to your life.

Might be your job, girlfriend, your annoying parents, addictive phone, video games, booze, seed oils, weed, whatever.

Eliminate. Cut it loose. Remove your ability to access it.

If you're planning to have kids, read this: 1. The burden of kids will bring out cultural feminist conditioning in your partner

Kids alter the reality of a woman dramatically, with no cultural support for them to do it properly. They quickly get overwhelmed and use the burden as leverage.

This will be your first test.

What if you're just a messy ball of Fixed Action Patterns you delude into think are "you"? Ever accidently walked into the street with you headphones on, only to panic and jump out of the way when see a car barrelling at you?

Meta Thread: Tournament Male Characteristics

Tournament males are the best at surviving and thriving in history. They are the reason female hypergamy exists in the first place.

Here's #12 key characteristics they have vs other men 👇 #1: They master the technologies of their era

The first tournament males were masters of the horse and bow. When group hunting ended as a cultural survival strategy, they emerged as uniquely skilled at individual hunting.

Meta Thread: Property

We are not adapted for the property paradigm (sort of) and it is the source of most problems in history.

Once you understand the maladaptions property caused, you can understand the historical role of religion and how it fixed our Darwinian "firmware." Prior to the "discovery" of property, man existed in what I call the "Eden Meta." This was the period of history where we were extremely adapted to our environment. We were in balance with the megafauna herds and had thousands of years of unbroken cultural traditions.

Meta Thread: Female Competitive Anxiety

Have you ever wondered why women wear make-up? Shave their armpits? Dye their hair, botox, plastic surgery?

They are constantly enhancing their appearance in more and more extreme ways.

Why don't men do this? Before continuing, you have to understand hypergamy: the female instinctual attraction to higher ranked males in relation to them.

Meta Thread: Alcohol and Addiction

I despise drinking. I think less of anyone who drinks.

Pathetic behaviour. Literally intentionally acting to lose.

Here's how you beat it (like I did): I was a bartender at 19. Did that 3 years. Picked up a nasty drinking habit. Became a stockbroker around 24. Habit went through the roof.

Became a daily drinker in my 30s. Perfect nutrition, but drank everyday.

Bizarre dissonance.
