The Constructed Life

Nobody’s getting laid. Here’s why: #MensHealth #TheConstructedLife

— Call Sign Chaos: Learning to Lead by Jim Mattis, Bing West a.co/0alIK7ah “Reading is an honor and a gift from a warrior or historian who—a decade or a thousand decades ago—set aside time to write. He distilled a lifetime of campaigning in order to have a “conversation” with you. We have been fighting on this planet for ten thousand years; it would be idiotic and unethical to not take advantage of such accumulated experiences. If you haven’t read hundreds of books, you are functionally illiterate, and you will be incompetent, because your personal experiences alone aren’t broad enough to sustain you. Any commander who claims he is “too busy to read” is going to fill body bags with his troops as he learns the hard way. The consequences of incompetence in battle are final.”

64% of young men barely dated last year. Not because they’re lazy. Because nobody taught them how, and the culture punishes them for trying. That’s not a dating problem. That’s a civilization problem. Let’s get solutions, not finger pointing. What are your thoughts:

Some souls understand without a single word.

In 1990, 3% of men had no close friends. Today, depending on the study 15–25%. Men didn’t get weaker. The systems that built male friendship collapsed. Nobody’s talking about that.

To live more so out of one’s imagination: Children live out of imagination because they barely have a past to live from. They haven’t accumulated enough memory to get stuck in it yet. Adulthood slowly reverses that, until most of us are living almost entirely behind us instead of with wonder.

What’s one thing about childhood you miss in adulthood?

@TrawleyR @wisdomXplorer Agreed

@wisdomXplorer It's complicated

Are you an atheist?

@vxylily Be the woman worth building with, not just the woman waiting to be chosen.

Men let's do it..

@harari_yuval AI does not need to be human to inherit human conflict. It only needs to be trained inside human symbol systems, incentive structures, and institutional pathologies. So the trust problem is not merely “will it act like us?” It is: under whose constraint stack does it operate?

@VizierPrime @harari_yuval Well said, well said.

Since humans design AIs, is it any surprise when they behave like humans?

Be kind. Everyone you meet is carrying something you can’t see, and more of them are carrying it alone than you’d ever guess:

I love this:

@AtnsXBT WoW. This lands hard.

most men die at 27, we just bury them at 72 - mark twain

@Man_s_Bible Of old age, surrounded by the people you love.

To all men, what is the most masculine way to die?

@Thebiglade I don’t just listen. I debate.

@seviloren @Thebiglade Awesomeness.

How do you deal with a person smarter than you??

@princx_ckay @Mz_S_Shortcake @Thebiglade 🤣🤦🏽‍♂️🤣🤣

@Mz_S_Shortcake @Thebiglade 😂😂😂

youtu.be/-ZfEvx4-7SE?si… Is the sexless generation actually a crisis? What are your thoughts? Evolutionary psychology suggests male ambition, risk, and building are largely mate-driven. What happens to a civilization when men stop pursuing real women, and start consuming simulations of them instead?

When you’re pushing for something big, avoid having sex, especially if you’re not married. Sex blocks a lot of things.
