@AvantPrince_ At the same time, to arrive at original work, one must first study masterpieces with reverence

If you are not courageous enough to paint with your own colours you will never paint a masterpiece because it will always be plagiarism

@BlondB00 Well put.

the true intellectuals of today believe that miracles happen. no, listen: it’s actually deeply, deeply rational to take into account the arising of a random divine phenomenon as you move toward a goal. if you strive day and night with a sincere soul seeking nothing but the pleasing of God, expect this. bet on it. be generous with the parlay. have you still not realised that “overnight fame” is slang for “miracle manifested after due struggle”? and for those who dismiss this as “superstition”, these are precisely the ones who stand on the sidelines, reducing the success of the successful to mere “luck.” they know not the law of the world, nor have they tasted of God’s divine grace. they’re profoundly “unintelligent.”

@AvantPrince_ Incredible description of the positives of solitude

If you truly want to achieve beautiful things and produce work that has immensely high quality in each singular farbric that makes up its creation you're going to have to shut the world out for a while so you can nurture your own forces to express what is most creative and poetic within you. It is impossible to produce work at your deepest quality level whilst having your forces dispersed and your creative spark diluted by too many influences and contexts around you; if you have the power and the blessing by god to be able to use solitude for your advantage do not waste it. Now this is more important than ever with the ever growing onslaught of distractions around us, there will always be a reason or an excuse or a rational angle as to why you cannot do what must be done and if you live your whole life letting everything get into your mental citadel you will never be able to create with fire a burning solar flare of your own artistic expression. I think there is so much wisdom and power to be found in solitude; in truth the large majority of my internal spiritual growth comes through solitude, solitude gives me the space for whatever valuable information that is cirlcling my mind to ossify and solidify into concretely held beliefs and updated perspectives. Solitude is the foundation that enables my brain to build omni directional layers ontop of my current paradigms and ongoings, without it I would never grow at the pace I have grown at throughout the last two years. You must create the space to find the answers and in my world they are never found outside of myself.

@Martyupnorth Not True. I am a 25M and have worked with a cardiologist for the last 5 years in Calgary as a graduate student. Every ounce of extra work has paid off more than I could’ve imagined.

My 21 year-old son has been back living at home for 4 months now, because he's doing a work term at a local engineering firm. Last night he didn't get home until 9:00 pm, and this morning he's leaving for work early. He has a project deadline, and he's working to make sure he meets it. He's salaried, and he doesn't get paid OT. Even if he was paid OT, it's not what motivates him to get things done. I was the same way all my working career. The difference is that over the long term, my extra effort was rewarded, whereas I don't think his will be. I'm not going to tell him that, because it's an admirable character trait to have, and it will serve him well. What I will tell him, is that he's better suited for a job almost anywhere in the World except here. Hard work and ambition are not valued in Canada.

@usuallypregnant This would relate to the work ‘A treatise on the family’, by Gary Becker in 1981. Nobel prize winning analysis on the economics of the family

Every time you walk through the grocery store and are SHOCKED at the prices, remember: this is what happens when the entire the population gets pulled into the workforce. Wages stagnated. Housing doubled. Childcare became a $20k expense. The cost of EVERYTHING increased to match two incomes because that's what employers and landlords could now extract. Your grandmother's husband supported four kids on ONE income. Yours can barely cover daycare and rent. The cost of living rising like this isn't a coincidence at all. It's feminism, and we're still paying it.

@buridansridge Couldn’t have said it better myself

What many women who project a veneer of strength fail to grasp is that men are often drawn to femininity precisely because it offers an escape from the relentless demands of the business mindset. Men seek the chance to step outside their own roles and responsibilities for a fleeting moment - for a glimpse of the beauty that women can afford to appreciate, safeguarded by men's care and protection. In much the same way that a drug addict turns to substances to momentarily escape themselves, men are not searching for conflict or competition but for a brief refuge - a safe space to breathe, not a cage fight.

@Molaau6 What about a cigar

If you have ever hit a vape it’s an automatic subtraction of 15 IQ points

@AvantPrince_ I cannot comprehend this medicated culture

I will never understand the culture that has developed, why is it cool to be unhappy, why is mental illness cool now? I must protect my inner citadel and continue towards excellence, I am leaving behind a lot of pleasure for the sake of not mixing my soul with insidious energy

@Tanyaelisabeth Who is the artist?

my life became objectively better when I had children, don’t buy into the propaganda

@AvantPrince_ Stay humble

You know you're goated with the sauce when women fall in love simply by reading your writing

@buridansridge Thank you for this recognition

When a man returns home from work, it is important to consider his needs. Men need their place of abode to be a serene sanctuary where they can take a little time to decompress and unwind after a day of being alert, agile, and strategically responsive - they will often silently carry an immense internal load from navigating the external world to win for you both. Thus, greet the man you love with adoration, and gently give him breathing room to recalibrate without verbally hurtling an arsenal of concerns and anguish at him the moment he steps through the door. Give him the heartfelt respect and grace to move through the liminality of shifting gears first - love him tenderly in a way that honours him.

@Molaau6 Also miss my wife who I haven’t met yet. Hope she’s doing well tonight

I miss my husband (he doesn’t know he’s my husband yet)

@AvantPrince_ I look forward to your posts everyday

Something ALL young men should be told. In life all momentum is the golden currency, without momentum you feel like things demand so much willpower and thus you get fatigued quicker. Fatigue is not real but it can emotionally manifest as you resisting the idea of completing tasks. This is what you decide is "fatigue" due to this you may only have the capacity for 100 tasks in a day. However if someone said to you, I'm going to give you 10 million but you have to do X,Y and Z. If that was 500 tasks worth of activity you would progress hard and get it done because the task to reward ratio is in your favour. As a man you can drive your will into the universe constantly for a while getting basically nowhere. BUT YOU HAVE TO KEEP TRYING. Because you will get to a point where you exit the slums of difficulty and the work you do begins to compound. We call this the transition. From uphill to smooth. YOUR WHOLE JOB IS TO GET TO THE SMOOTH ZONE. Then it doesn't feel like work anymore, you wake up click a few buttons bang money appears, you wake up you want to train because you know you're one of the most in shape men in the city let alone your local gym, once you achieve winner status its so much easier to keep crushing your will into the universe. By far the hardest point is getting to a place where you gain enough skills to transition from uphill zone to the smooth zone. I'm so grateful I kept going when the world was dark.

@teachrobotslove Thank you for this articulation

The feminine urge to get married to someone you love and have children and make a home together until one day your husband comes home and collapses at the kitchen table because his brother died and the grief made him lose his job and he can't keep it together anymore and your children come to you in tears because growing up is learning how to be in pain. You realize that you've spent all these years learning how to love so you can take their grief inside and transform their hurt so they can keep living with a lightness in their spirits and thrive in a world that is doing everything it can to crush them into nothing. And their pain is heavy, it's so goddamn heavy, but you carry all their burdens, that tremendous pile of dirt, with such grace and poise that you make the struggle look like joy and they never have to know it hurt. They will never know because the hurt beams with such brightness when it moves through you.

@chomupress @robkhenderson Which Schopenhauer work?

@robkhenderson Schopenhauer, slightly clipped to fit the character-limit.

"No question is more painful for young people today. No subject seems to inflict more emotional scars than one’s worth on the sexual market,the degree to which one is desirable to mates of one’s choosing,or what are one’s opportunities in life for romance" a.co/d/j1hf3Fi
