You have every right to know what your government is doing, and they have no right to know what you are doing.
That is why they are called public servants and we are called private citizens.
Instead, the relationship has been inverted. The state hides behind secrecy, classified files, and redactions while demanding total visibility into your finances, communications, movement, and behavior.
A society where the rulers live in privacy while the population lives under surveillance is the very definition of tyranny.
38 days in and the United States Commander in Beef has already pulled off the most complete victory in modern history.
Letās recap the wins. š
⢠Replaced Khamenei (86) with Khamenei (56)
⢠Reclaimed exactly 0kg of uranium
⢠Reopened a strait that was already open - now with a $2M toll per ship (up from $0)
⢠Proved F-15s and F-35s can in fact be downed by guys who ābelong to the Stone Ageā
⢠Got US bases destroyed across four or five countries (I've lost count)
⢠Shattered allied trust that the US would actually show up if things got spicy
⢠Put Iranians back in the streets (this time for their government)
⢠Installed Pakistan as the regionās voice of reason. Pakistan.
⢠Openly admitted arming the Kurds to stir trouble in Iran. The Kurds did nothing and kept the weapons.
⢠Bragged about the Crown Prince of the Gulfās biggest petro-monarchy ākissing his assā
⢠Raised the cost of living for all Americans even more thanks to skyrocketing gas prices.
He really did all that to the Middle Eas for the low, low price of a few thousand civilian lives, tens of billions in equipment, and every ally not named Israel.
If thatās not the Art of the Deal, I genuinely donāt know what you people expected.
And again, we had money to do all that, but not to provide healthcare to our own citizens.
Truly a victory that could only be won by someone capable of bankrupting a casino.
@ProjectGokuu Wrong. Kleiber's law describes metabolic scaling across speciesānot lifespan within humans. The āfixed number of heartbeatsā idea is a myth-level oversimplification. In humans, lifespan is driven by health, lifestyle, and exposuresānot body size or muscle mass.
@anders_aslund Not quite accurate. From what I'm seeing on the ground Internet isnāt fully shut down in Moscow.
4G seems to be limited in parts of the center, but it works fine in most areas, and WiFi is still functioning as usual.
I started doing this naturally when I cut below 8% body fat
Elite operatives arenāt trained to eliminate discomfort
theyāre trained to create space from it.
They learn to shift into a third-person, observer mindset so sensations donāt hijack behavior.
When youāre getting shredded, do the same:
Instead of āIām hungryā ā
Think āHunger is present.ā
You donāt fight it.
Youāre not even in it
You observe it, and keep moving.
This mental separation: kills impulsive eating, keeps cortisol lower, puts you in absolute control
Japan: Longest life expectancy globally (85 years)
Plant-based advocates: "See? Rice and vegetables!"
Japan's actual diet:
- Fish consumption: 53kg per capita annually (highest in developed world)
- Pork: Second most consumed meat
- Chicken: Third most consumed
- Beef: Expensive but eaten regularly
- Eggs: Daily
- Dashi (fish stock): Base of nearly every dish
Percentage of Japanese protein from animal sources: 50%
Their longevity is attributed to rice while ignoring that they eat more fish than almost anyone and put fish stock in literally everything.
The meal is fish. The rice is just there to soak up the dashi.
But acknowledging this would require admitting that eating primarily animal protein leads to longevity.
Can't have that conversation. Better to focus on the rice.
Kindness is peak human performance and high status.
Kindness requires metabolic abundance: the capacity to override primal impulses, regulate emotions, and extend empathy.
Meanness is dirty energy: high cortisol, inflammation and an exhausted executive function.

A rare look at Arnold's Old School Mass & Cutting Diets from 1974 which were found in a set of Old School Arnoldās courses which he sold through mail order in Muscle Builder/Power

A person sits in a glass booth 8 hours a day watching escalators on a screen.
This is a real job in Russia (~ā¬600/month).
Not work. Not safety.
No purpose. Looks like safety. Does nothing.
Psychological erosion disguised as employment.
Restraint is what creates safety.
Not muscles, not status, not aesthetics.
Just restraint.
Most men underestimate how rare ā and powerful ā that is.
Post 3/3
Why do you think modern women feel unsafe ā online and in real life?
Because modern men lack restraint.
Not everything should be exploited just because you can or there is an opening or even an offer!
