Mental Jiu-jitsu

Please wait for the train to come to a complete stop before boarding

its actually insane how dysfunctional the average person is. Like it really is a miracle we have civilization at all.

It’s genuinely sad because every single one of these women hate their job, are on a bunch of psych meds just to make it through the day, and most will even acknowledge that what they really want is to be financially free, in love with a man who is in love with them back, and to stay at home surrounded by cute things and running like an etsy store for their art to make a few bucks on the side. But the problem is that the number of men who can provide this to them is one or two orders of magnitude smaller than it was only a few decades ago, meanwhile they themselves have not only not been pushed to cultivate the traits that would allow them to attract one of these now rare men (ex kindness, thinness, helpfulness, emotional regulation, home skills, parenting skills, virginity, etc), but actually told that developing these traits is bad. Really, at this point, even if you could convince one of these women that career + feminism + cats is bad for them, the amount of mental and behavioral reprogramming they’d need would be so vast that 99% wouldn’t be able to even become what they’d need to be to get a good man, in which case being a career hag is really their least bad option in many respects. At this point, i really don’t think spending mental energy on this problem is worth any man’s time. it’s too big and the likelihood that you won’t just make it worse by getting involved in the “culture war” is infinitesimally small. Focus on building yourself and becoming what you could be (wealthy, fit, powerful, bold but kind, courageous, self aware, good communicator, good leader, etc) so that you can become the type of man who can give a woman the type of life they all genuinely want, such that when you find the rare woman who has not been completely destroyed by our modern culture who every man is chasing after that you can actually win her and then start a beautiful family so you can raise the next generation with more sane values.

Trump frustrates intellectuals because he is conclusive proof that action will always be more important than intelligence.

Can anyone pinpoint the exact moment when everything in society started getting noticeably worse?

On the current earth, entrepreneur is best player type When Napoleon was born it was emperor He became emperor of France and took over all of Europe Then he got ousted to the small island of Elba Did he give up and change player types? No, he made himself Emperor of Elba and built up their mining industry and military Then went back and conquered Europe again

🚨 Arteta: “PSG-Bayern was probably the best game I have ever witnessed. I've never seen something like this”.  “But when I look at the amount of minutes and the freshness of those players, then I'm not surprised…”.

They used to treat Benzema like Ferran Torres in striker convos for nearly the entire 2010s and now dudes are calling him GOAT 9 😭✌️

i wonder if every man is at war with himself

The best litmus test to see if a Barca fan is a casual is their thoughts about the Anfield OR Inter tie Seen a lot of em on the TL recently talking about how Inter was much worse than Anfield If you really experienced Anfield live, you know it's the most brutal heartbreak ever

my personal take on the youth immersing themselves too much in spiritual lectures from gurus and babas is that it softens you too much, makes you less ambitious, makes you detest material success. when you’re young you should want to build things, contribute to your family and society, not think about hanging your boots to seek nirvana.
