@ChoochSkookum Not so much think less of him as theyll think more of someone who does make and fix things.

Is it true that if a man doesn't know how to make or fix anything other men think less of him?

It’s actually because you literally can’t “just do things” anymore because there are endless bureaucrats, wokescolds, etc. in the way, so people end up latching on to knowledge. Same reason people do architecture in Minecraft rather than real life.

There is a certain type of person everywhere now, especially online. He consumes endless information every day: philosophy, psychology, productivity, spirituality, neuroscience, business, self-improvement, history. He knows a little about everything and deeply experiences almost nothing. His entire identity becomes built around understanding instead of living. He watches videos about confidence instead of speaking confidently. Reads about discipline instead of becoming disciplined. Studies relationships instead of learning how to love. Consumes motivational content instead of taking action. He feels intelligent because he is constantly mentally stimulated. But stimulation is not transformation. Most of the time, knowledge becomes emotional protection. Reality is unpredictable. Reality humiliates. Reality exposes weakness. Books and ideas do not. Inside information, he can continue imagining himself as intelligent, deep, insightful, different from ordinary people. So he remains trapped in preparation. He constantly feels as if he is "becoming" someone, while his real life remains strangely untouched. He develops sophisticated language for problems he never confronts directly. He can explain human behavior beautifully while being unable to handle ordinary discomfort, rejection, uncertainty, loneliness, or risk. He slowly turns life into observation instead of participation. The internet rewards this personality heavily. He receives validation for sounding aware rather than becoming capable. Eventually, he begins confusing self-analysis with growth and information with wisdom. But beneath the intelligence usually exists the same thing: fear. Fear of failure. Fear of embarrassment. Fear of reality answering back. Because action destroys fantasy. The moment he truly acts, he can no longer hide inside potential.

The fastest way to turn into a NPC is to fill every moment of stillness with audio books, podcasts, CEO interviews, tweets, threads, and YouTube videos. The fastest way to turn into the Main Character is to spend more time in stillness and give yourself 4 hours to create.

@Amalgamyte_VT At that point, if it gets there, hyper-balkanizing of the country will happen. And then eventually breakup of the country into smaller nations. Maybe less than a century from now.

@RaminNasibov Dark Knight.
Millennials think its a masterful work of art with edginess since Heath Ledger died right after it was made.
Its a pretentious, high budget comic book fantasy. Its fun and not horrible, but the worship it had was ridiculous.

@FartyFartsalot @TheJoeySwoll Sad comment. I wonder what other types of insecure rules you limit yourself with.

@TheJoeySwoll Whatever, Joey.
It's embarrassing to be clubbing when you're at that age.

So just because he's older he can't go out and have fun? He’s literally just minding his own business and you do this to try and embarrass him for it? Shame on you. You too will be older one day and I hope by then you learn the difference between "their" and “there”.

Median age of White Americans is currently 45. If you're a White American, you're still in the younger half at age 40.
Mode age at death (most common age to die) for White Americans is 85. You're not even at the halfway point by that metric either at age 40.
Its cringe and very tragic to think life is over after 25.
English
@cybelethebest No, accept that you’re 40 and pretend that every day could be your last. It’s cringe to act like you’re still young when you’re well into middle age.

What is the alternative, sitting around crying about not being 25 anymore?

@sapitonmix The USA is what they would achieve. There were 70 million people in the US with Scandinavian/Germanic ethnicity by 1990.

Nordics not having more people is an insane civilizational self own. It’s actually scary what 140M of Swedes would be able to achieve. And we now have the technologies to support virtually unlimited population. We just don’t have the chance to test that.

@dissidentwest Most people under 30 years old have never known America before it became a multi-cultural experiment.
If they don't bother reading old books or taking in culture prior to 2000, from their point of view they really don't know how America before then.

@ClownWorld These were pop-woke articles written by women for women, under a thin veil of credentialism to try to keep the fantasy believable. It was just a coffee-read that served to ensure to the single feminist women who read it that they are self-sufficient without the need of a man.

Scientists in 2023 published a study claiming prehistoric women were better hunters than men. The same scientists who can’t define what a woman is are now experts on what women were doing 12,000 years ago 😂💀

I've been on both sides of this argument, and I totally agree with you nowadays. In my 20's I was fine with getting off work, smashing preworkout and lifting at the gym for 2 hours every evening.
Now if I could take it back, I'd still hit the gym 4-5 days a week but I'd limit the total time there to 1 hour max, including time spent driving and changing. Gymbros in these comments will one day have the same realization that theyre wasting their limited time to chase an extra 5-10% of additional gains and validation.
English
If your entire life is going to consist of working and exercising.
Play a fucking sport.
Don’t be the NPC who lifts weights, hyrox’s and runs.
Build kinaesthetic intelligence, go to the driving range, play tennis, learn a martial art…
Push pull legs is boring as fuck.

Who Has Aged More Gracefully?
English
This is generally true for many, but it has nothing to do with biology. Its because most people stop engaging in regular new experiences at that age.
If you want to slow down time, continue learning, take up new activities or endeavors, be a beginner at things, go to unfamiliar places. Put yourself out there.

Your brain basically stopped recording your life around age 25. Everything since then is a blur for a reason.
Neuroscientists measured this so many times they named it: the reminiscence bump. Ask anyone over 60 to recall their strongest memories and almost every answer clusters between ages 15 and 25. The decade where everything was new. First job, first apartment, first real relationship. Your brain encoded each day because nothing had a template yet.
After that window closes, most people enter a repetition loop. Same commute, same office, same weekend rhythm. The brain stops recording repeated experiences as distinct events. A year with 300 novel days leaves 300 memory anchors. A year with 10 leaves 10. Both took 365 days to live. Only one of them will exist when you look back.
This is why people at 50 say "where did the time go." The time went into routine that felt like living but left almost nothing behind.
Your remaining years are fixed. How many your brain bothers to remember is entirely up to you.
