@BowTiedOdin Only thing we can do is fortify our family and tribe and ride it out. Make interconnected business networks with other people to navigate the system.
Use AI to run around the atomized plebs and build our house legacy for the next line. Long march ahead
The survival responses you inherited are the ones they had to live through, when you take responsibility for your parents trauma as well, you can break the chain and start repair
One of the milestone for working on generational trauma is that it becomes your job to repair the rifts from your family.
Was talking to my mom and was able to help work through her survival response anxiety to growing up poor. This anxiety gets passed down generation to generations
You can help your parents clear it
If I’m obsessed with you, why wouldn’t I want to know what you’re doing? You are the centre of existence to me, and so to stalk you is to bask in you. I wish to protect you, track you, worship you and consume you.
I observe to watch over you.
Even in predation I honour you.
@BigDadEnergyX I’ve tested out a few protocols including 20mg a day.
“Why” - 20mg - fat loss (actually made me hungrier - Tirz/reta more sustainable”
Feel - energy equivalent to a light 24 h fast, bounce and energetic
Hahaha! That's insane. Worst one we've seen is a guy doing the same but only had $1.5M
Turns out the future wife was inheriting $7M and needed the same prenup
Living in the burbs in a nice 2,000 sq foot place in top school district no one knows
What is the most extreme effective measure you can take to solve the problem without destroying yourself in the process?
You do not rectify imbalance through moderation - you generate escape velocity through corrective extremity, then optimise by tapering into equilibrium.
One solution to the Western problem is to have men face and overcome the psychic pain that they have inherited. This starts with stop being an avoidant and running from your self.
Personal growth and therapy culture come full circle, we need to become the Adults and fathers we never had
In Men’s Mental Health, Avoidance, and Trauma
Silent Generation grew up during the Wartime Era of WW2, Korean, and Vietnam. Since there was no language for emotional regulation and PTSD, they bottled it in and said suck it up and work.
Emotional Avoidance and Materialism go hand in hand. They worked and were silent and absent, rage and terror had no ways to process. Their form of love was building the country up, but perhaps this friction came into play as divorce laws from women who were getting anxious (when men are avoidant with their feelings.
The next series of events; the pill, sexual revolution, even television allowed for more avenues of Male Avoidance paired with true disintegrating social insitutions that kept fathers accountable to being good men for the next generation.
Now being a man, material success and providing was a key to being a man. When
Globalization, offshoring, and financial/political shifts removed the last barrier to emotional deflection. This causes men to further crash out into avoidance.
Now all this avoidance of dealing with feelings and an escape from Fatherhood, the next generation of men being mentored, and lost daughters who are now being tossed around in modern dating market dynamics.
The reckoning then is a 100 year battle of Restoring Masculinity starts with men having to face and overcome their Intergenerational trauma.
At essence communism and its modern liberal reactions are based on materialism.
More or less taxes, how numbers flow, who gets what, how free we are to do quite frankly anything.
A material world is not the same as spirit or courageous one. Most conservatives movements fail because they react to material conditions of Marxism. We would have more money if the government was more efficient.
The government is then treated as material problem and not a spiritual one. Laws are made to turn the country into an economic zone for either communist, corporations, or foreign entities.
The government was lost during a series of generation curses that priortize material conditions as the basis of society (which is communism) instead of telos. The maximal extraction of profit as a higher good.
Of course being rich is good, it’s the sign of fortune and work. But the elites do not hold spiritual positions, because maximal extraction of fallen humans is the goal.
Every generational curse must be cleared via sacrifice. Abdication of the sacrifices continues until the society self-destructs because it can’t maintain itself.
The spiritual telos Must save it, the billionaire fleeing their creation is simply a time where material conditions are prioritized. How this turns out who knows, the Gods have the final say
Man's worst form of poverty is to reject the opportunity to shower others with abundance.
You'll only get more out of life once you help others get what they want. Otherwise, stay infected with the greedy mind virus suffering the belief that there's never enough to go around.
I had 5 kids. 4 daughters and a son. These are my babies (15 and 16) and it makes so sad. Anyone who says kids aren’t worth it has never experienced the joy of hanging out with them while exploring Europe. Have kids.
Millennials have to take responsibility and grow up and retake the cultural infrastructure for the next generation. Only way out is if by becoming the world we never had
Older generations who hoard money to prevent the younger generation from succeeding are traumatized.
All the arguments are defensive posturing to cover up the shame that they did not do their duty to prepare the next generation for succession.
This is made evidence by the destruction of culture and its morals, and the reduction of America into an economic zone.
The money is simply a trauma shield, it’s what they worship, and it’s their only form of control.
When they say fuck off, I’ve worked hard for what I have, it just acknowledges the fact that the work was not about generatively towards the next in lineage, but a way to deal with shame and guilt for not preserving the Country and culture
Some people didn’t know, but refusal to acknowledge it means the trauma is passed down and the consequences is beared by the next generations to come
Such is the tragic nature of a fallen world,
The money is an illusion, just numbers the real purpose in life was the world left behind, and instead of a rich culture it’s emptied out in materialism and conformity.
This will be viewed upon before their eventually death and we are all subject to Gods Discernment on this
@BowTiedOdin - money and work-ethic are used to gaslight people from the deeper issue. Duty of Men has been to protect culture and institution from rot and pass it to the next generations so that we can continue to prosper and exist.
We want the people in charge to do their sacred duty. The fact that people cannot see this is because the sickness is deep rooted in their avoidance of responsibility

@rachelclif Generational curses exist from generational blessing. The unique function of your heritage has been lost. The child learns to rediscover this
There is an embarrassing obliviousness that older married generations, including many millennials, have of the current dating market that makes their opinions on "appropriate" male-female relationships hard to take seriously
Dating today bears no resemblance to dating pre-apps, and even little resemblance to dating pre-COVID. Norms are broken beyond comprehension. There are no standards or expectations. It's a transactional meat-market where every other person has painful insecurities & intimacy issues that causes them to shut down authentic human interaction the moment they feel any discomfort (aka actual feelings). Behavior that a decade ago would have been considered a red flag is now ubiquitous.
Many people talk about the problems of meeting the opposite sex today, and these are salient, but I honestly think the biggest issue is how broken and jaded people are by the culture. There is a spiritual sickness that has infected people. The reasons people end budding relationships today are far more petty and superficial than they ever were before - many of them don't even make sense, because they're rationalizations of their own anxieties. People don't trust each other, and perhaps even worse, they don't trust the future. Most don't even really believe deep down they will find love, because they don't feel they deserve it, which creates a self-fulfilling prophecy.
To give a sense of scale, although the tech of 2015 was far closer to the tech of today, dating then was far more similar in essence to dating in 2005 or 1995 (maybe even earlier) than it's been to dating now. I have witnessed this shift both personally and professionally and it is frankly terrifying
Moralizing about "what's appropriate" or "what you shouldn't do" doesn't do any good when everything is broken. It's like telling people to not to jaywalk when the city's under aerial bombardment. I don't know what kind of society can maintain any credibility when a solid quarter of its women are dating guy after guy without commitment for years on end. This is not a year or two of experimentation or figuring stuff out, it's mindless casual sex and short term situationships for easily a decade or more with all the resulting broken pair bonding. You cannot just tell men to settle down exclusively when this is what they are dealing with. The incentives simply aren't apparent; especially because these men are broken too - either by the curse of too many options, or too few
I am saying this mostly to warn the already hitched crowd: while I'm a big fan of marriage and monogamy and its merits, because of all the above it is losing it's cultural dominance. That doesn't mean that the institution is inherently flawed, or that it "doesn't work" (which is cope that single and bitter people say). But it DOES mean that it is unlikely to be considered as the only viable option soon, especially to the under 30 crowd who have seen what it's like when there are no guardrails around sexuality. Many have grown up with horrors normalized - they've seen too much, and you can't just put the genie back in the bottle
So be prepared. We are now 3 generations in from the pill and no-fault divorce, and the downstream civilizational effects have finally metastasized. Norms that were considered self-evident for decades if not centuries are going to retested from first principles. Do not blame the cohort coming up for being creative in their attempts to solve the problems your generations created
Their lived experience is different than yours, and accordingly so will be their reaction.
