“The people that once bestowed commands, consulships, legions and all else, now meddles no more and longs eagerly for just two things—-Bread and Circuses!”
– Juvenal
In this often repeated quote, the ancient satirical writer Juvenal laments the decline of the Roman Empire as he watches men become soft and weak. As long as they get their food and entertainment, they’re happy and docile. If you think things have changed since Roman times you’re dead wrong. Power is still in the hands of the elite who now offer genetically modified junk food bread and state sanctioned reality tv circuses.
As the American Empire declines and the gap between the elite and the masses widens, the elite produce more distractions for a poorer, unhappier public. The means might have changed but the method is still the same: indoctrination with the end goal of a distracted obedient serf.
Since you’re reading this blog you’re probably sharp enough to realize not to involve yourself in causes or wasting time trying to battle the elite. Humans will always be ruled by ruthless elites. What you need to focus on is what’s in your best interests as opposed to society’s. Your best interests are your liberty, knowledge, wealth, health and relationships. That means creating the best possible life for yourself.
To be able to earn the money you want, have the freedom you want, the body you want, and the women you want, you need to make sacrifices. To rise above the ordinary man takes focus and dedication. The life of an ordinary man is to work a job he hates to come home to a family he can’t afford and escape into sports, booze or porn.
If you want to be ordinary, you’re in the wrong place. If you want to be extraordinary that means using extraordinary methods. That means separating yourself from the herd. That means unplugging from the indoctrination machine and using that time towards building the best life you can, that means social suicide. To be free the following things need to go:
Social Media
-
Facebook is for little girls
-
As a man you probably won’t have too many close friends, the ones you do have should all be in your phone and email contacts
-
Social media forces you to compete with people’s false best representation of their lives leaving you feeling negative instead of focusing on your mission and tuning everyone else out
-
Facebook is a complete timesuck, 2 minutes turns into 2 hours
-
I’ve been off social media for 3 years and haven’t regretted a day
- The only exception is for business
Pop Culture
-
Opt out of pop culture, there is nothing worse than wasting time fetishizing celebrities
-
Avoid negative, judgmental gossip sites like the plague, after an hour on Perez Hilton you’ll need a shower
-
Celebrity culture is for girls, it’s the opposite of all masculine values, worship yourself and what you’re building with your life
Politics
-
Politics is a charade: real change agents don’t make it to the polls, your vote doesn’t matter because you’re not a decision maker
-
Politics are always run by the elite and ruthless, free countries are few and far between, civilization has been a slaveship since the beginning
-
Political television is merely entertainment, the politicians only have limited power
-
Policians are just turn-key executives for wealthy arsistocratic and banking families who wield power through corporations, usury and warfighting
Sports
-
Sports is just an extension of the gladatorial coliseum, MMA being the most obvious (and my favorite)
-
Not only do guys waste a ton of time watching other guys exercise but then there are the sports talk shows, pre game shows, stats and by far the worst fantasy football
-
You can watch a fight with the boys from time to time but outside of that watching sports needs to be sacrificed
TV Shows
-
The average American watches 34 hours of tv a week, that’s a part-time job
-
That’s more than enough time to build a passive money generating business
-
TV is an indoctrination machine that promotes debt, consumer culture and shitty values all of which you’re opting out of so cut that cable, you won’t regret it
-
You can still watch a few quality shows online, just save them for watching with your girlfriend(s)
Movies
-
Movies are the same as tv, just stream/download occasionally, indulge in moderation, only with girls or friends
Video Games
-
Unfortunately guys, these have to go too, as fun as it is to mow down pedestrians for 3 hours in GTA, this is literally the least productive thing you can do
Notes
- If you’ve designed a reality with an abundance of passive income, great health, leisure, and women then you can do what you want but until then you need to get high on achieving
- Instead of escaping reality, focus on getting your life in order and creating a reality you don’t want to escape from
