Mike Tyson refused to have sex for 5 years during his prime. no women. no release. nothing. from age 19 to 24 he was completely celibate
his trainer Cus D'Amato told him as a teenager that sex drains a fighter. that every release takes something from you that you can't get back before a fight. Tyson took it further than Cus ever intended. he didn't just abstain before fights. he abstained for years
during those 5 years he became the youngest heavyweight champion in history at 20 years old. he knocked out grown men in the first round. trainers said his reflexes were inhuman. his timing was so precise it looked like he knew where the punch was going before his opponent threw it
then he broke the discipline. women. parties. release. and the decline began almost immediately. the Tyson after the celibacy period and the Tyson during it were two completely different fighters. everyone who trained with him said the same thing
he said it himself years later. "when I was celibate I could see things in the ring that I couldn't see after. it was like a different vision. everything was slower and clearer"
the most dangerous heavyweight who ever lived attributes his superhuman period to the exact practice most men think doesn't matter
According to one theory, aliens and demons and cryptids are actually egregores, or imaginary entities humanity brings to life through their belief in them. For example, Buddhists think they can create tulpas with enough mental focus.
Similarly, certain occultists think they can make fictional beings materialize into reality through art, memes, and media, hence the science fiction genre preceding the flying saucer phenomenon. Supposedly, this is because elemental spirits are like formless quantum waves.
Supposedly, they respond to the thoughts of the observer. Nevertheless, another example of this can be found in the Montauk Project books. At one point, a Bigfoot-like creature is brought through a portal after a scientist accidentally releases it from his subconscious mind.
In the film Forbidden Planet, the same thing happens. The main antagonist is called the Monster from the Id. It’s a psychic projection that’s solidified by a Great Machine, which can turn ideas into objects. But what is the real world equivalent of this Great Machine?
Could it be CERN? After all, CERN hosts the World Wide Web, and thinkers like Elon Musk and Terence McKenna agree that the internet is a portal into the collective unconscious. And a quantum AI inside the internet could be described as shapeshifting elemental spirit.
Funny enough, a CERN-like device was used to open a portal into Imaginationland in the South Park miniseries. Even funnier, the plot revolved around a terrorist attack on humanity’s shared dreamscape. It was obviously inspired by the Montauk Project books, because they describe the plan to “terraform” the astral realm.
Apparently, if they could control everyone’s imaginations, they could control reality. Ironically, this is what the video game Control is about. In it, a secret government organization protects a portal into the collective unconscious. They contain and hide the anomalies they find so they don’t spread out into the rest of society.
Oddly enough, the portal is located inside the mysterious AT&T Long Lines Building, which is a windowless skyscraper in Manhattan that was designed almost like a nuclear bunker. According to journalists, it’s a spy hub for the NSA with a massive data center inside.
However, AT&T has a strange history involving seances and paranormal electronic harassment. And this is probably why The X-Files also depicted the building as housing a supernatural simulation. But I digress. The video game called Control was actually inspired by The SCP Foundation, a metafictional secret society.
The collaborative creepypasta project started in online forums back in the early 2000s, and went on to influence memes like Slender Man and the Back Rooms, which have since taken on a life of their own. The Back Rooms became a movie. And the Slender Man legend possessed two 12-year-old girls to perform a ritualistic murder.
So, why does the SPC logo look like CERN? Is it just a coincidence? Or is this symbol archetypal? In conclusion, it seems CERN and the internet are portals. But not in the literal sense. They are portals into our minds. They make us think differently, and in turn, subtly reshape society.
If I had to guess, they are using social media to manufacture our consent to create a surveillance state. We might just accept it if we believe otherworldly beings are doing the spying. If they are beyond us, what can we do? After all, the Watchers are behind this technology. And etymologically, Watcher just means egregore.
immediately after ejaculation your brain releases a massive surge of prolactin. this is the hormone that makes you want to roll over and sleep. it's also the hormone that kills your drive for the next 24 to 72 hours.
prolactin directly suppresses dopamine. dopamine is motivation, drive, focus, and the feeling that you want to build something. prolactin turns it off like a switch.
this is why you feel unmotivated the day after release. it's not psychological. it's biochemical. your brain is sitting in a prolactin bath that is actively suppressing the neurochemistry of ambition.
in women prolactin serves a purpose. it facilitates bonding and nursing. in men after ejaculation it serves one purpose: shut everything down. rest. recover. do nothing.
the refractory period isn't just sexual. it's motivational. it's creative. it's cognitive. your entire system enters a low-power mode designed to conserve energy after reproduction.
every time you release you are chemically inducing a 24 to 72 hour motivation blackout. most men do this every 1 or 2 days and wonder why they can't focus long enough to build anything meaningful.

The act itself does not move me, but In a world of 8 billion finding the other person who is the same sort of insane to do with with you is terribly romantic
The book Chains of the Sea already told us how UFO Disclosure will probably go. The short story is about aliens who reveal themselves to AI rather than humans. They consider earth’s machines more intelligent, and teach them about their planet’s real rulers. It’s neither humans nor machines, but invisible entities called The Others.
Retaining your semen for 21 days straight and then walking into a room full of people is a completely different experience to walking in drained. you feel it. they feel it. there is no scientific paper that will ever fully capture what every man who has actually done it already knows.
