You kinda lost me there for a bit with the tour down memory lane detailing your previous fads and trends, but I’m happy to report you “stuck the landing” and sewed it all back together quite cogently, me ordering your hardcover being the net result. I will offer this, while I’ve not experienced the vicissitudes of focus and priorities you’ve been through, probably rendering me less familiar with some diverse perspectives, we’ve come to the same place. You through trial and error and what seems like near manic energy and curiosity, me through dogged persistence and singular focus. I was blessed to be raised by people who came of age during the Great Depression. They knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that life is tough and competitive, and you better be likewise or you’ll get what’s coming to ya’, good and hard. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thankyou my friend. Indeed, I was a wild child, and had little guidance. Had to find my own way through trial and error, but as you said, my instincts led me to the right place. I found my people. Thankyou for purchasing the book. Your support means alot!
You’re welcome. I’ve been musing a bit on your comment that you “had little guidance”. I wouldn’t dispute that, but would add that in effect we all have “guidance”, whether it comes from a trusted and wise acquaintance or family member, or is absorbed out of the atmosphere provided free of charge by this thing called “culture”. I’ve surmised, after observing closely for 60+ years, that our popular culture has degraded and often serves as a less than ideal “guide” for those that lack a more specific personal mentor. Examples are numerous and telling. Just one example, compare a Marilyn McCoo performance to Miley Cyrus, two performers that occupy the same cultural space 60 years apart. Which one appears more coarse, sexualized, and pornagraphic? This is, of course one small example, but multiplied by thousands and amplified by frequency and the cultural signals providing “guidance” can get very perverted very quickly. This is not meant to be a definitive essay on the subject, just food for thought. Best Regards, Pelopidas
You’re right. We’re all conditioned / guided by either someone or something. It’s interesting how the mimetic nature of this conditioning can slowly by slowly transform and deform culture. Which on a positive note also means we can slowly by slowly transform it (back??) toward something better.
Came back from the abyss as you say myself in 2023, for basically the same reasons. The gym was one of the things that saved me and the notion that if it did all break down I was going to take a few of them down with it, ha. As John recently posted, there has been a vibe shift for the ages, I´ve felt that. The lefties are in complete projectile denial. Maybe how conservatives felt in the late 60s, idk. I see that there is a white pill to take now and I think many will. It's great to have some real leadership again, but it's up to us to support that and hold it accountable. Doing martial arts and eating meat does tend to clear the mind. We've been the outsiders, now we know why. We were meant for this. The trials were to harden and focus us. Stay vigilant, keep building and live honorably.
Very well put brother. Reminds me of the Nietzsche quote: “there is more wisdom in the body than in your deepest philosophy”
This is an advantage we’ve always had. Only we’ve been drowning in manufactured guilt for too long and let the uglies take over all the positions of power and influence.
That’s going to change. We have character. We now have some momentum. Soon we’ll have the capital.
Yes brother, I agree. The manufactured guilt...that the problems of the world were due to us. The plausibility had been there with the way we were taught history and the fact that men had basically been the boss for our known history. Maybe they had a point and we should let women and the meek have a turn and see if it comes out differently.
Well, it turns out the the strong men of moral character were what was keeping things from devolving into debauchery and savagery all along. We see it now. The jig is up. The spell is broken. These positions have to be filled by merit, to the benefit of all.
As most countries are broke, I wonder which one will offer land in exchange for bitcoin? Land to build a private city, a private country, a kingdom? Interesting to think about.

All this larping of modern men gets exhausting. Aping others cultures while speaking of aristocracy. Aristotle was a man who passed civilizational capital to the western man born 2500 years later. In the late 19th and early 20th century men of great vision created culture whole cloth out of distinct peoples. Italians French Germans all whole new nations created out of men's visions. This is the true capability of an aristocrat. One day soon there will be new nations on this continent as we discover we can create them and hopefully we can keep the European men who worship the bugmen of Asia out of it. We are a people who have ancestry n a history. Our people shed blood for us to be here. That is the true clear pill you I all of us have value because our bloodlines ended others to be here. I was fortunate enough to meet the men who got off the boat and left a trail of blood for me to be here.
Great piece and much appreciated, particularly the fact of stupid statistics regarding past lifespans. I explained this to someone at a brewery how life expectancy stats were terribly skies, as they included everyone that died at age 0-3 etc. the adult lifespan always was the same, 60s-80s occasionally older and sometimes cut short by disease, accident, or killing. I'm not sure he got it

You took us on quite a trip. Feeling all the emotions of the pill shifts. The above quote is too accurate. Watching the video of attempts to get the blue pilled to support their own policies, both infuriates and causes a feeling of pity. Those two women at the end, ugh!
I'm a 19 year old man and my mind is still an ideological battleground. It will probably continue to be until around 35, if I'm anything like all other men I've talked to. This post has helped me very much and it's a great map for what lies ahead. Thanks!
For that I am glad. Well done Jason. You have a long road ahead and many battles yet to be fought. The fact that you’re reading this tells me you have what it takes to triumph. Godspeed my friend 🤝

I spend pages and pages discussing it in the book. These are the kinds of questions I like to ask, because the answers will be found, along the way.

Couldn’t have put it better myself. The European soul lives in the European blood.
For the record, I do not consider the Japanese “Asian” - they were a specific breed, more like European in spirit and soul.

Very true.
Top piece, man! Already soaking in the Bushido. And fuck plebs. We ain't no plebs. We are nobility!
Da brat!
This is the right outlook. The only way to rebuild the world is to have vision, character and capital.
That’s how we’re going to do this
I just ordered your book on Amazon. The hardcover 😂
EXCELLENT 😂👌🙏🏼
Herr Aleksandar
Politics are the “operating systems“
people use to help make sense of the world and their place in the “Herd”
Love how you “Pilled” the ways people differentiate foreground from background or recognizing the Heterodox from the Orthodox
Love your Book
Tusen Takk
Jon
Operating systems is very accurate framing.
Takk ogsa
Just got your book. Good article too
Thankyou Henry. The book will not disappoint
Just ordered the book - hard cover, of course. I’m already impressed and looking forward to more!
Thankyou 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Jesus pill: we are more than winners!

That's the best thing I've read in a long time.
Thank you Mike 🤝
Great summary, articulating what many of us have been experiencing (with variations on the theme of course).
Thankyou John
Damn, I regret not picking up a copy at Adopting Bitcoin. I did get the Shinzo Abe shirt though.
Haha! All good. Amazon is a good back up 😉
Yup. I’m working through the Kindle version but also have one of the beautiful hard covers on the way!
