  • I Use the Public as My Classroom

    Jan 23, 2020, 12:11 PM I don’t have a classroom so I use the public as my classroom. It was an experiment. it’s been ridiculously rewarding, even if the number of overconfident ignorant young men is … tedious. We have a course going at the Institute where people singn up and get the content as I release it. It’s a drip process but it works. I use a particularly interesting teaching method (king of the hill) more suitable for men so I attract a certain audience. And so far the project is largely complete. It’s a matter of editing it down (simplification). Some people (example: Taleb) publish a book every few years, and finally get to their philosophical project. Some people publish a book every ten years. I’m sort of on the ten year plan. And if you look through history (kant etc) it takes about ten years. Duchsene took ten years. It takes time. The first book is done but I don’t want to release it first. It’s too targeted to libertarians. The second book is at 80%+. The constitution is somewhere in the 50% range. It’s getting there. I don’t see the point in lecturing until something this complicated can be published. Although we will undoubtably start this year. And I’m far better in person when teaching real time than I am on video – it’s just my nature to interact with the class. So I assume that the videos of those presentations will be more effective than the online content, the courses so far, or the book.

  • Overcoming the Reflex

    Jan 25, 2020, 11:17 AM by Luke Jason Willis Overcoming the reflex: … Realize that you don’t know everything … Realize that you’re probably not as smart as you think you are. … Learn to recognize emotional reactions, understand that they are often wrong … Realize that the situations in your life that have taught you the most were usually the most uncomfortable … Be humble, be teachable

    —“It is extremely challenging and I’m not entirely sure I will ever completely get it, but I’ve already seen a profound change in my perspective. My hope has been restored.

    Hugs brother. The more of us that take the journey, the more of us there are to bring about a Renaissance.

  • Propertarianism Needs Wise Women

    Jan 28, 2020, 2:56 PM I need to find a dozen women on this same page who will write a post a day to other women answering questions with the same freaking answer every time. It’s not complicated. (Alice Knight etc) I tell men the same simple thing every time: a) Tell the truth when you have a conflict, the truth always wins. b) Learn to half listen and approve without judging. This is how she neutralizes feelings. It is care taking like she takes care of you. F–king reciprocate care taking. c) Say you can, cant, or will, wont, but do not disapprove of a woman’s wants. Instead walk through how to make them happen. d) Make a fucking decision when asked and once made don’t change it. Do what you say you will. Do not agree to what you will not do – ever. And show zero tolerance for nagging. Nagging is for children. Pillow talk is for mates. e) Stay fit. Stay Groomed. Join a team of any kind. Deliver the bacon (provide) f) Defend her always and everywhere no matter what. g) Make her look good to her friends. h) Make sure she knows you’re thinking of her every day. i) crazy chick behavior is always insecurity and fear. If you cannot fix it then leave. you can fix it if you don’t reward it. But you can’t fall for it or the tears. You must be the man. that means that we have drawers in our brains so we don’t have to deal with the chaos in a woman’s mind. Use it like she uses to to remind you to put your fking belt on. Reciprocate. j) Be a man for Chrissake. If you want a mother I hope she boots your lazy man-boy ass and you lose everything because you fkin deserve it. k) Stay in your tribe. Very rarely do cross tribe marriages work well. With white men and azn women being rare exceptions.

  • Let People Own the Journey

    Jan 30, 2020, 4:25 PM

    —(I probably didn’t think you were a dumbass. I am just very careful when helping people on a journey – most of the time if I can tell if someone ‘will get there’ it is better to let them learn HOW to get there than for me to help them get there faster.)—
