Does being a stud sound good but you’re a fat old guy and don’t know where to start? Does “the gym” sound like a zoomer-gadget hell to you? The confidence to walk into city hall and be the man locally, starts inside each of us. Get your ass in decent shape first. People will treat you VERY differently. I’ve been involved in wrestling my whole life as an athlete or coach from age 4-42. (Now I’m retired because parents have ruined all youth sport) Anyway, here’s what I recommend; Get a total gym, and start eating dirty keto. If you’re in your mid-40s on, go get your Testosterone checked, especially if you’ve worked a weird shift for decades. You will be all fucked up, but don’t fret! Be super disciplined in your dirty keto for 30 days and you will be hooked on the results, and pull on the total gym at least 3 times a week. This WILL WORK, I guarantee it. I’ve trained up hundreds and hundreds of athletes using all the trendy methods. I’ve read a lot of sports science text books, I’ve worked with professional trainers and equipment designers, and I can’t recommend this stupid total gym enough. Seriously. I’m 48, 6’0 190 and ripped and the only exercise equipment I own is a total gym, two sets of dumbbells, and a combination dip/pull up bar in the corner. I’ve eaten keto for 10 years because diabetes runs in the family. Fuck all that macro shit - counting this or calculating that. Ignore it. All of it. And ignore all the experts while you’re at it. What is termed “maintenance diet” or dirty keto is all you need after you initial fat adaptation (30-60 days). Being in shape again will change everything about how you present and handle yourself. I’ve experimented on myself for a long time now you guys don’t have to. Hit me on Pete’s Telegram if you have questions or want advice on becoming the savage you were meant to be.

Also, weak people have never tested their own limitations. They literally have no idea how to begin or end anything because they've never 'been to the edge'.

How can you understand the scope of an issue if you don't know your capabilities? If you've never picked up a saw how can you judge the differences in a bird house or Texas-sized McMansion?

The Walking Dead's early seasons gave me a useful way of looking at leadership. Would I follow this person in a zombie apocolypse? Would I let this person follow me? Would I just kill them and take their shit? Most of our leaders are in the third category

"[L]eftists are more neurotic than conservatives. That’s why they suffer more from depression and might be more aggressive. They are also less altruistic and more impulsive, which would also make them more aggressive.

Strong negative feelings include envy and insecurity, so they desire power—they are Machiavellian—and attempt to achieve it covertly because they are insecure and anxious about fighting and instead prefer virtue-signalling. They are high in narcissism, so they deal with intense negative feelings by creating a false perfect self. Thus, telling a leftist he isn’t masculine invites aggression because he experiences cognitive dissonance."

It’s quite ironically appropriate that you publish this today on the same day I started rereading The Comfort Crisis and trying to come up with a misogi for myself next year

Yes and yes. And, like AEneas, we must carry the past generations, as well as future generations, with us.
