if theres one thing we know from all of human history, its that when there is a surplus of young able bodied men that feel they have no purpose or future, that only very cool and good things can possibly happen

⚡️ The paradox is:

The signal can only land
in someone who doesn’t need the reward.

Because that is how you prove
you are not doing it for yourself.

When you say:

Even if no one sees this,
I will still do it.

Even if no one claps,
I will still build.

Even if no one understands,
I will still obey what I know is true.

That is when you pass the test.

And once you do,

the field says:

“Now.

Give him the signal.

He’s ready.”

Sooner or later, if you are fortunate, you'll realize the world is fundamentally broken.

You'll finally accept what it means that every social institution and system and every personal relationship is flawed and imperfect.

You'll give up looking for some way to perfect things, stop imagining that if people would just listen, you could fix things.

The world is the world. It will never be fundamentally just or right.

Instead of trying to fix it, just do the good you can and be at peace.

Psychologists did tests where they showed that losing hurts way more than winning feels good. Loss aversion. For me it’s the opposite. I shake off losses - black them out completely to the point I don’t remember. Avoiding losses would be a bad strategy for me. I chase wins.

@Walmart execs when they hear the lines are long

[Dean Abbott @DeanAbbott]

@Walmart currently in one of your stores. Lines halfway across the store because half the self service lanes are down and only 3 cashiers working.

Why must shopping in your stores always feel like a trip to hell?

⚡️Birth collapse is the quiet suicide of a civilization that no longer believes in its own future.

War kills bodies. Famine kills bodies. Disease kills bodies. Fertility collapse kills continuity.

That is why it feels different. A society can recover from catastrophe if enough people still believe the future deserves children. A society can endure poverty if family remains sacred. A society can rebuild after war if young people still form households, inherit obligations, and extend the chain forward.

But when the will to reproduce dies, the civilizational engine has already begun shutting down.

The deepest cause is not money, though money matters. Housing, wages, childcare, debt, and instability all suppress fertility. But rich societies with high living standards are also collapsing demographically. That reveals the deeper wound: modernity has turned children from destiny into optional lifestyle costs.

That is the poison.

Children used to be the center of continuity: family, lineage, duty, faith, inheritance, belonging, old-age care, meaning, nation, future. Now they are often framed as expense, burden, climate guilt, career interruption, freedom loss, dating-market complication, and risk. When that becomes the dominant psychological environment, the birth rate falls even if subsidies rise.

A civilization cannot spreadsheet its way out of spiritual sterility.

The collapse mechanism is slow, then brutal. First fewer children. Then fewer young workers. Then aging dependency. Then pension strain. Then health-care strain. Then tax pressure. Then lower dynamism. Then less risk-taking. Then more gerontocratic politics. Then immigration patches. Then cultural tension. Then automation pressure. Then a society increasingly run by old claims on a shrinking future.

The future becomes overburdened before it even arrives.

The countries that solve this will not merely offer child tax credits. They will restore status, meaning, and social honor around family formation. They will make motherhood and fatherhood feel central again. They will make housing and work compatible with children. They will stop treating adulthood as endless self-optimization. They will rebuild a culture where having children feels like participation in something sacred rather than surrender of personal freedom.

The ones that fail will become rich nursing homes with flags.

As far as the intelligence required to be successful in the modern day goes – you don't need it in drastic genius proportions, but need to be able to do 3 things well:

1. Observe, analyse and accurately DECONSTRUCT what other successful people are doing and exactly why it works for them.

Most fail at this stage, and they have no idea.

You see it in their commentary on everything. They try to be reductionist, yet their conclusions when deconstructing a situation are so wrong you wonder how they get through life safely

All discourse on this app reveals to you how good people are at this.

Many disguised simpletons pride themselves in "simplicity" – but for them it's often a borrowed virtue because many genius thinkers in history relayed the message of uncomplicating ideas.

But this was a luxury afforded to them AFTER painstakingly parsing through the nuances of a subject rigorously for years. Not before.

Most reduce concepts they do not have the capacity to understand to the their own level, and their conclusions betray the key points were lost on them, or are blatantly wrong.

E.g.

Nietzsche saying:

"Everything in women is a riddle, and everything in woman hath one solution – it is called pregnancy"

Reads simply, and the casual will take it at face value, to suggest she just needs to get pregnant to solve her problems – because that is all they know; their reasoning stops there.

Unless you've already understood the concept of the "blind will" and his almost Schopenhauer-like view on the biological seriousness of a Womans instincts as it relates to the generative advancement of the species & how it unconsciously shapes her relations to life, men, and the shared character of all women, it takes on a completely different meaning when deconstructed.

When I say the vast majority of people live in a state of blindness because they unknowingly limit their intellect – this is what I mean.

The more you understand, the more ordinary things become fascinating, sublime, and worthy of reverence to you.

Any person with mastery in any subject will relate to this,

but the TLDR casual can never comprehend or contemplate the beauty in the world all around them, because their intellect does not permit them to deconstruct it accurately, or at all.

2. CONSTRUCT for n=1.

Amalgamating the key parts of what they accurately deconstructed.

Sensible plans that make sense for their own circumstance. Ability to know which pieces of advice are broad and general and which bits to keep in their tool box for different scenarios that demand it.

Improves with wisdom (the directional and situationally orientating compass of intellect). Requires knowledge of inner knowledge of self and their relation to the world around them.

This is the most dangerous one to struggle with.

Most laws of society are based on the fact the majority of people truly do not possess this in respectable measure.

Speeding limits can seem ridiculous in certain areas, but without them, most cannot sensibly make a safe judgement of how fast they should go.

It is why if you write a post about an unconventional method about health you have to write disclaimers & warnings for people who cannot figure out whether if they should do it.

If you're still reading at this point, you're likely part of my core audience who does not need constant disclaimers for things.

3. INTEGRATION.

Real world testing and feedback. Requires rapid n=1 iterations initially, then a period of time to study their own data, why the data takes a particular shape, then refine it according to their own knowledge of their nature and character to make it uniquely theirs.

Continuous refinement and mastery happens here. This is where you break things down for yourself, are clear on what you optimise for, when, and why.

Implement the law of Cause and Effect.

Everything in existence is an algorithmic process, and if you do not recognise that it is because you don't understand the algorithm well enough.

[Dean Abbott @DeanAbbott]

The idea that smart people are good and advanced degrees prove you are smart is a sacred cow for a lot of people, a sort of religious belief.

If you don't believe me, try criticizing that idea and see what happens.
