1/ The worst things in your life happen when you don’t expect them. If I learned anything in this life, it’s that the most brutal situations/moments in your life come when you expect them least. This is a rule as strong as gravity. I am mega serious. And this is one “hack” that you can […]
Son, I am about to shatter your entrepreneurial wet dreams. The system doesn’t care about making you rich. It only cares about feeding off of you and spanking you when you misbehave. But it can’t say that to your face. So, instead, it sells you a dream so that you cook yourself like the perfect […]
Do you know what’s missing from most men’s CVs? > Professional fapper since 12 y.o. Don’t worry. Your mom knows, she is just pretending she doesn’t. The brutal reality is that fapping is the invisible “magic ingredient” that keeps this world from collapsing. And I am not joking or trying to construct some metaphor. It’s […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The last post had a part called – The Difference Between Intent and Wishes. That little section got a little more attention than I originally expected. And I decided to expand it a bit for further clarification. Here’s the reality of the situation, fellas. More often than not people who allegedly “intend” to do something, […]
Regular readers are probably familiar with the concept of training cycles as I’ve written about it in articles and books. But for those who don’t know, I’ll summarize. A training cycle works like this: You start light and gradually build to a heavy weight over time. When things get tough, you drop the weight. You […]
