This post is part of a series covering our first summer group-read book, BRONZE AGE MINDSET. For the next month, I'll be reading Bronze Age Mindset, and dissecting what I find interesting. Feel free to make your own posts, if anything I missed strikes you as interesting! For this post, we'll be looking at Part Two and talking about young men & owned space.

In the first part of BRONZE AGE MINDSET, BAP specifically points to the energy which drives a man's life as freedom, or having an ownership & dominance of space, rather than the blind urge to reproduce. This is what the old school guard on TRP will tell any young man asking for advice, almost universally.

The questions will almost always be the same, what can I do in this very unique situation with this very specific girl?? And, of course, we know the situation and girl aren't unique at all! And neither will the advice we give: don't focus on women, focus on life.

If he has the discipline to do this, he'll succeed! If he has the discipline to take his hand off his dick, close his eyes, and allow his brain to understand the bigger picture of life, he'll succeed! This isn't easy for young men!

People say that this young generation, the Zoomer, will be most based as they move toward adulthood but I have my doubts. Yes, they are exposed to the internet- or, all of you maniacs- and this could potentially move them to a place of understanding life as it really is. Zoomers will not have the deadzone of their twenties, the late-90s to the early 2010s, where honest information was not readily available and we were atomized in our attempts to piece together a cohesive picture of how the modern world works and a battle-plan to succeed in it. For anyone who experienced this, these were awful and lonely times!

However, as you know, the empire always strikes back- and no victory isn't without consequence. To combat us, the assholes on the internet who want young men to take ownership of their lives, you have an entire system ratcheting up their game to ensure that young men only know owned spaced. Public school systems are more Feminist than ever. Action movies and larger-than-life representations of masculinity coming from corporate media are now relegated to #badass ladies and men as jokes. The NFL wear pink- not that boys watch sports anymore. Indoctrination is at an all-time high for young men, whom they want to only know owned & submissive space.

When I was a boy, maybe twelve or thirteen, we spent our time in the woods, off trail, in solitude, lighting fires in what felt close to esoteric ritual. I cannot diminish the importance of this! In the early 1990s, we had a Nintendo with a few handful of games, a swimming pool to wrestling and play-fight in, and the woods to set fires. We would have told you that we were bored. This couldn't be further from the truth! We were experiencing freedom in unoccupied space! This was crucial to the development of our sense of men, our sense of masculinity, and instilled knowledge of what to look for in all future endeavor- unoccupied space; the mastery & dominance of space. Esoteric fire rituals, indeed!

The funny thing was, even if we all loved Nintendo, these games were so limited- maybe we'd take turns making a little progress in Zelda, or play through a game of 2-player TMNT 2: The Arcade Game- but that was it! Maybe watch a horror movie on daytime Cinemax, and then it was back outside- back out to open space for us to dominate. Today, video games are meant to entrap and ensnare- video game addiction is real! But, notice, even still, boys will try to own these spaces as my frends and I did in the woods in 1990s.

And what happened, internet historians of 2015? Women caught wind of these free spaces where rambunctious boys with too much moxie were calling each other F-word, and N-word, and R-word, in spirit of competing to be alpha! Not exactly out of love, but certainly not hate! This is something woman cannot understand- this was like our wrestling in pool; fighting to feel like alpha male! But women came along and tried to destroy this space, sanitize it, and make it safe for girls, even if few girls were interested in existing in this space to begin with- imagine woman invading our space in the woods, putting out fire, and telling us not to use naughty language just in-case girl happen to pass by! Crazy!

This was known as #Gamergate- and certain men, even if they couldn't fully verbalize it, resented this invasion and pushed back. Some wamen were so horrified by this push back that they are still crying about it!

Other men, however, lied on back and showed belly like pathetic R-word.

"They submit to the yoke and their sham simulated masculinity is now a parody of the true manliness, which is in a state of ascent develops into the will to actually dominate space around oneself, not into a caricature for the benefit of women. But this domination is not possible when space is already owned." (66)

Now, let's be real- these simulated, cyberspaces that are already filled with hidden, toxic Hollywood-esque memes and messages, is not the same as boys lighting fires in the woods and beating the snot out of each other in a suburban swimming pool- not even close. Video games represent a simulation of masculinity- even if, at best, you topple the competition and exist as alpha e-boy, so what? You've gained very little, if any, skill applicable in the real world.

And even a simulated, voyeuristic, pseudo-form of masculinity- the world of video game masculinity- is too much for modern women, who want to invade and sanitize all male spaces.

This is how much the current system hates young boys- and this is why THE RED PILL is more important than ever.
