My take on philosophy as a whole can be summarized in one sentence: <<<<Everyone is a philosopher until life hits them for real. >>>> Stoicism, archaic yet new, is no exception. It’s one of those constantly shape-shifting ideologies that reminds me of Jordan Peterson’s way of talking—many words, little substance, constant mental stretching followed by […]
Have you ever heard the saying – “If you want something done, give it to a busy person.”? It indirectly implies the existence of two Homo sapiens types – doers and no-doers. A person with a busy schedule is a doer and more likely to get something extra done than a no-doer who has all […]
People rarely get depressed because of a bad situation. True depression comes because you can’t see a clear path out. Despite what motivational speakers (and their modern equivalents) are saying, it’s not so easy to dig yourself out of a hole even if you are willing to do the work. When you want to escape […]
A while back I decided to do dedicated forearm training including some arm wrestling exercises and grip routines. I made the needed equipment out of wood and spare parts. It worked well. One time while doing my routine, I couldn’t help it and admitted the obvious: I felt stupid. I had to ask myself the […]
Many professors in the manosphere (and in other self-improvement segments) are super focused on maximizing TSW (time spent working). Hence they allegedly wake up at 5 in the morning, wrestle an alligator, eat 600 grams of protein, do some meditation, and then “seize the day”. As always – it’s all nonsense…and I am here to […]
Time flies. It’s been almost 10 years since I wrote one of the most iconic posts on the site – Zyzz – Inspiration Or Victim Of Our Environment? And today, a decade later, we have a new form of Zyzz – hardly a surprise to me as I am old enough to have internalized that this […]
Therapy is practically useless and impotent in most cases. It can’t solve your problems but can ironically augment them and slow down healing. It could also be an immoral business. Talking About Your Problems Is Helpful But Only To a Point The main value of therapy is that you export some of your thoughts and […]
Excerpt The Eagle Lats Routine: Natty Lat Maximization Maximize Lat Growth At Home With Two Exercises by TruthSeeker The Importance of Lat Development The lats are part of the “visual impact muscles” even though they are covered most of the time, and you can’t see them yourself without a mirror. But if the lats aren’t […]
I am about to tell you a secret. Most of our attempts to change fail for one of the following reasons: 1/We want the impossible. 2/Destiny says no. 3/ We can’t detach from the state that we want to change. The first point is easy to overcome – just focus on gradual steps. If you […]
They are selling you a fake dream….again. One of the consistent narratives in the manospherific community is that males become more valuable as they age….and therefore you can still win the game as an older man. I’ve heard some of the gurus say that even 60+ men in their “private cold approach group” are “killing […]
What would you do if you could perform only 1 exercise? Well, that’s a pretty unrealistic scenario. If you can do one, you can probably do 2 (or at least a variation of the first one.) But sometimes people need simplicity to keep going. There are periods when you just don’t want to lift for […]
I am about to do two things. First, I am going to expose the Fake Law of Attraction (FLoA) that’s been sold to the naive public by a great number of conscious and unconscious charlatans. Then, I am going to present the REAL Law of Attraction (RLoA) (don’t expect magic). According to the FLoA, you […]
