It is easier than ever to live a comfortable life and harder than ever to live a beautiful one.

God does not punish the evil, he punishes the non-cohesive.

Imagine spending your whole life becoming an academic expert. Then a random guy online tells you that you are wrong about your own field. And he's right. But you can never admit that. Because it would mean admitting that your life was a lie. That is the dilemma of many academics.

It’s called natural Dimorphism

We've heard from the Christians on spanking. We've heard from the righteous libertarians and the non-aggression principle. Of course, nobody wants to ask if we're built to need violence. Two of my favorite books are The Heart of Everything That Is, the story of the Sioux in the Black Hills, and the flight of the Nez Perce, the story of Chief Joseph. Both show American Indians at opposite poles. The Nez Perce used a third-party "whip man" to discipline their children. The Sioux instituted zero discipline even on the most egregious violations. Their tendency was to laugh when another was violated. So many things in human ethology are fixed action patterns, tripped by switches we never installed and don't fully understand. Maybe violence is one of them. Maybe we're adapted to it in ways we can't yet see. Just because our justice systems make violence a universal crime, and libertarians land on the non-aggression axiom as their fundamental ethical principle, doesn't mean biology agrees. Human anthropology shows three distinct strategies for moderating behavior in tribes: guilt, shame, and fear. Look at the cultures of the world and you can intuitively tell which is which. Some respond only to fear, some only to shame, some only to guilt. What if it's the same in children? What if some are wired so only a harder hand reaches them? You could say the hard hand is just cruelty. But the Nez Perce were the non-violent, settled ones, and they still kept a whip man. The human animal is complex. Depending on your breed, you might be a guilt-type, internally regulated by guilt at a certain stage of development, and you self-moderate. And there's variance of personality within breeds. Some kids are guilt-stricken, some are defiant. We see both strategies right through recorded history, and neither one is broken. I spanked my first kid. She's very compliant. I didn't spank my second. She hasn't said a "yes" to me once since she's been born. My third I haven't spanked. He's only four, but he does everything I ask.

Sports go way deeper than people realize. Women are not designed to be competitive, not in the way men are. Not even slightly adapted for it. Not even moderately. It's foreign to them. The competing sex is the T-gated dimorphic male. The mass push for girls' sports is a form of modern indoctrination. The lesson that women should be competitive. That might be the fundamental sin. It trickles down into suburban culture. Indoctrinated, competitive moms fill the schedule and make children's sports the territorial mission, something on the level of religion in its importance, its commitment, its faith. Relationships with other families are defined by sports. Not by religion. Not by ethnicity. Sports. Which makes sports more dangerous than anyone admits, for girls especially. It's definitely a contributor to the fertility crisis. Too busy competing, too busy driving, unable to handle more than one or two to fill the sports-excellence quota.

Most parents haven't even begun to understand what's causing parenting to be so difficult, regardless of stage. They're completely lost. Biology wouldn't have designed having children to be this hard. If it feels impossibly heavy at every stage, the model is broken. Every parent commits the same original sin. They have no territory. Territory comes in two forms. Tribal territory, where families and similar people raise children together. Or Pair territory, where a man and a woman raise kids alone. The pair territory model is so unnatural it barely registers historically. Even when it looked like people lived in Pairs, church was giving them the tribal social layer. Then on top of no territory: they are basket-cases with nutrition, force independence before the brain can handle it, demand academic achievement before the child can actually learn, obsess over social comparison to peers in situations that'll never matter. Tons of action. Zero results. The house stays chaotic. They mistake their own anxiety for wisdom. Modern parents operate in Pair territory alone and wonder why collapse happens at every stage. They're fighting a broken model. No parenting trick fixes a missing tribe.

The most important thing a millennial family can do for their kids is: 1. Move to a neighborhood w/ enough young families 2. Get involved in school, church and sports 3. Let the kids 'off the leash' enough i.e. play outside w/o you having to be there the whole time 4. Invite people over to your house constantly... This has changed our social life dramatically in just 2 years where we have many friends our kids do too *** #1. You must move to an area that is family centric and has young families. Do as much on-the-ground research you can of every neighborhood to figure this out. Be willing to overspend if needed #2. Be a part of the school as a parent whether PTA or volunteering . Do the same at church and your kids sports. People who 'lead' or 'coach' meet a lot of people very fast. Bleacher parents have a harder road. #3. Be willing to let your kids explore the neighborhood, go knock on doors, etc. Sure, schedule some playdates, but make sure they've also met all the similar-aged kids in the neighborhood. Go to the pool in the summer and talk to people #4. You must invite people. Those who connect people are the most magnetic. People want to be around those folks. Open your home even if it's a little messy. Doesn't need to be fancy. Order pizza for a group, people will love it. Invite different groups over. One group is from church, another is sports parents, etc. Combine the groups at the holidays so people can meet other new folks. This is how you build a community for your kids to thrive in. It took us 8 years from having a kid to figure it out. BONUS --- have more than 1 kid. Multiple kids expands your circle even more as it opens more doors to meeting new families.

Technology isn't the problem. The kids' peer group is. Where I lived before, there was literally nowhere to go and no kids to play with. No "lots of time outdoors" existed. But when you have that, when kids can run outside and find friends every single day, they don't touch screens. They just don't. I see this now. But here's what I also see. This peer group is fragile. It's literally 2 families within 2 streets keeping my kids busy. That's it. Two. If those families aren't around, the whole thing collapses instantly. We're back to zero. And it's not like the old days where families went to church together, where the adults actually knew each other and were aligned. The parents barely talk. We have a "wave to each other" relationship. Even worse, these families are completely bought into the running around lifestyle. My kids come home constantly with "So and so had to go to gymnastics." Peak play hours? Gone. Everyone's driving to activities. The whole street operates like this. School, then scattered to different locations for extracurriculars. This "lots of time outdoors" thing could fall apart any day. It's a math problem. And the math is actually terrible. The boomers have no idea how lucky they had it. A massive demographic explosion of same-aged families all concentrated in the exact same suburban developments. Close-knit houses but still tons of open space for kids to play. Church still binding everyone together. One parent working, one at home. It's actually insane how perfectly aligned everything was for them.

Marriage is only for ELITE Men. Average women don't want average men. From both ideological perspectives, the message is clear: If you believe in marriage, you must exceed the value of the woman you marry.

.@androgenic_ is the most spiritually advanced of all looksmaxxers Surprisingly profound understanding of “You are not your body” from an unlikely source. Nigga has truly transcended identifying with the body/your avatar - quite a hurdle, one that most never fully accomplish or integrate.

There's a type of Germanic who always needs to speak directly to the god, because he trusts his own senses and intuitions. Look at the sagas. This type should be encouraged over the type that needs weekly software patches from a guru/priest/rabbi to assuage the anxiety that attends consciousness of the irreconcilable contradictions inherent to formalized belief and rule systems.

You do realize they white-board storylines then play this stuff out, right? Clav and his crew are the WWE of streaming.

Life as a libertarian

Blackpillers should really just log off the internet between now and the midterms. Similarly to women, you’re just not built for this. We’ll come wake you up when it’s all over.

The logic of high TFR: no/minimal public education for females, plain dress and standardized dress/style for males. This sort of orchestration requires religious control. The women are virgins, the men are dimorphic, with minimal contest variance between the males to corral hypergamy (hence standardized male appearance). The entire purpose of religion is to create some degree of this reproductive math. And the only reason any of us can make arguments about this is because we come from religious ancestors who achieved some degree of this math (that allowed us to exist).
