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 One and talking about the human animal.

"If biologists had been honest people they would have tried to proceed [observing life] without assumptions, just amassing observations about different organisms in different situations" (28)

Take a moment to imagine an honest liberal arts university- how incredible it would be! A funded institute willing to staff people doing research into questions of human behavior & human nature- bringing legitimacy back to the social sciences! Instead the damaged observations these institutes end up with after expensive and time consuming research is the result of faulty premises.

Although we occasionally assume a faulty premise, or perhaps produce thought tainted with confirmation bias, at our best The Manosphere exists to stand in opposition to these universities, and their flawed methodology of social science research, with observing the human animal as he and she genuinely exist... We do not filter behavior through the lense of rationalization, or narrative, we begin with observations and work from there (further, the social sciences often rely on self-reported data- which any man who's asked a woman her partner count will know is a complete joke).

When we notice patterns in human behavior, we call it human nature. Human nature is acknowledging the human as animal, guided not entirely by free will, but by a combination of evolutionary habits & traits passed down to us through the ages, biology & genetic make-up, and (of most interest to us) sexual strategy- namely, the human animal desires reproduction through sex, and will usually do what it takes to get it.

[For those interested, I once wrote an essay on how "Of Mice and Men" is about human nature & the human as animal- a theme that is, of course, mangled in the hands of the typical public school English teacher]

BAP will point to the invisible hand guiding human nature as hormones- or, in other words, human's being guided by the invisible puppet strings of their biology:

"Hormones hold the key to the meaning of life in the most fundamental way... These substances, seen with fresh eyes, are pure Big Magic. They govern all cycles of an organism's growth and its decay." (28)

Men & women have different reproductive goals, and different strategies for obtaining those goals- a statement that in itself would be controversial by university standards! Men will want to fuck the majority of women he encounters- with the desire to spread his seed to the most willing, and women will select from the best available men to fuck- also why women have a more manageable sex drive.

As much as the social sciences will work to deny human nature, they believe these characteristics are malleable, which becomes a slippery slope, to the logical end that they end up believing that gender is able to be selected:

"This is how they can also get themselves to believe in the transgender: these are people who believe that matter can somehow be corruptly configured, and that we all have disembodied souls with male or female essences" (35)

The end-product of denying human nature, denying the human as animal, becomes a complete separation between body and mind- total disharmony with nature! A major theme of both BAP and a tenant of The Red Pill, along with Taoist thought, is for all to flow from nature. Do not deny human nature, lean into it! Understand it! Only then can we see if our nature, the invisible hand guiding us, is leading us to a place where we want to be- some men will want to remain the seed spreading player- some men will push against this, and become responsible and monogamous family men. This is for you to decide! But only after you lean into your own masculine nature!
