Inspired by your posts, I've read the Bronze Age Mindset. Whoa! What a book! With the ironical irony and historical "facts", it's one of the most inspiring and thought provoking books I've read from some time. The free man manifesto with a pinch of mental ilness. I absolutely love it.

I found the critique of biology in the beggining of the book to be one of it's most interesting parts. The idea of a successful organism as one which can simply replicate itself and endure in an stressful envoirement does seem a bit underwhelming, and fits right into the image evoked by the term "bugmen" - a communal society not only lacking differentiation and individualization, but outright suppressing it under the hand of the matriarch.

However, I think we can draw a difference between individualism and individuality, the former being a cultural consequence of economy, and the latter a characteristic of a self centered (not necessarily in the bad sense) person. Someone with a strong sense of individuality will use their own position in the world as a mental starting point for more elaborate thoughts and the drawing connections that will allow for a better understanding of the universe around them, rather than simply accepting the current cultural narrative, which is one of the many sins of the bugmen.

I don't think that the mastery of space that BAP talks about is simply the expanding of one's control over the immediate physical envoirement and it's resources. Rather, it is, at its heart, the exploration of one's own possibilities in the world, a reflection of the underlying need to understand the universe, rather than tyrannical navel gazing. The doomer meme lamentation, "born too late to explore the seas, born too early to explore the stars" is, I think, a perfect example of this need to dare and experiment. Men used to prove themselves in war and sex; since the exercise of violence has been taken over by the State, for most, the only remaining arena where they can explore and develop their power is sex - hence the need for sexual strategy and TRP.

Here's an observation: I had a smokeshow 20 years my junior on my arm for almost 5 years.

• Younger women had no problem with it.
• Put together younger men had no problem with it.
• Loser young men and 30+ y/o women hated it, eye daggers galore.
• Older men loved it, shot me grins and the occasional thumbs up.

The Wall is real, but it's not as simple as somewhat declining looks. It's in the attitude as well.

Great post.

I think the redpill should have more healthy-mindset related content beyond girls.

When I first found the sub in 2015 I was indoctrinated and was trying to be “alpha” to my detriment, would refuse to have conversations with girls over text for fear of seeming beta and things like that.

It wasn’t after unplugging for a few years and realizing that a lot of the posts about girls on here are low vibrations and come from a scarcity mindset and you can catch it secondhand.

Build yourself and the girls will come. If the girls are your motivation at first, if you need a carrot in front of your face to spark personal transformation, so be it, whatever gets you in the momentum.

But the sub would benefit greatly from literature on phase two, really detaching from the need to get girls.

Once you level up you really can abuse it to a fault.

I thought I was alpha because I was pulling 3+ girls a week but really I was just wasting all of my free time on girls, and it was a dopamine addiction in a sense. If I would get used to the good feelings of abundance, but then if i had an hour period where no girls were snapping me or texting me I would start seeking it out.

That might have more with my personal upbringing/psyche,

But we really need to emphasize that it’s okay to leave pussy on the table.

Saying it and believe it are two different things.

This even paradoxically becomes a feedback loop because when you’re not trying to pull and you’re not into girls they chase you and it’s cyclical. Life on easy mode.

Great post.

Very interesting concept on the mastery of space, including thought and mental space.

That resonates hugely with me.

Initially, I was ONLY interested in TRP because it was providing me an unprecedented amount of knowledge in getting pussy.

I've always been obsessed with girls, even at a young age, I recall mentors and close advisors warning me that my lust for females will become an obstacle in my life.

With each initial accomplishment, it became a snowball effect where I was even more motivated to learn game and read TRP. After some time of continuously abusing the hell out of my addiction for ego boosts, validation: my cockiness and pride started to grow. But so did my mission and my purpose.

In the past year, I couldn't help but feel empty, unsatisfied, and unmotivated even though I've checked off so many of my wishes related to chicks.

"GIRLS ARE NOT THE END GOAL OF TRP"

I've read this a thousand times, but it took me years and a lot of work to internalize it. I will continue to strive for a greater purpose and mission in my life.

Thanks for the concise and well written post.

Did you really have substance issues in the past?

So this is like mastery of the physical in another sense. As much matter under control within a practical frame of reference. For instance real estate or farming or whatever lights the fire of what a man can call his mission. Interesting play of words to describe physicality and mission in one post with a new phrasing. Might give the BAM a read through a month or so from now.
