I saw some tiktok mention that One Piece is the Illiad or epic of our times, and I can't get it out my head. Each of the main characters symbolize a different country, and all of them are unified in the pursuit of freedom and prosperity.

Something that’s been bothering me for awhile now is Thiel’s talk with Peterson where he mentioned that being irrational isn’t the way to go. Just hit me that he talks about Zuck’s irrationality when he rejected the 1 billion acquisition offer, and essentially saying that founders need this kind of irrationality to break through.

The path out of the self harm is the same path to becoming a man. In other cultures, the ritual usually requires the boy to display some form of resilience, but it is subpar compared to choosing love because in choosing love, you are choosing to serve something higher than you. A person with resilience can bear pain, but a person with a why can bear any how, and life requires much more than pain. It also occurred to me why Christians are so Capitalistic. The way of Christians is to choose love. In choosing love, you are choosing to be in service to something higher, which should be true. If it is true, then it should be good for all of us, and so you are in service to each of us. Capitalism as a system allows us to be in service to one another because it removes the middlemen and makes my liabilities your assets. That's how markets grow, that's how we all get richer, and that's how I can be of service to you.

In other cultures, there is a ritual for a boy to become a man, but I've been curious as to why there isn't one in the West. I realized that the manual for becoming a man and the path out of the self harm we are doing is in the Bible. In this cast, I mentioned that a worldview fractured, and when this happens your psyche is split into two because the thing holding you together is gone. When this happens, you lose your grounding which makes you uncertain. At some point, the idea that it's easier to forgo life altogether appears, and one part of your psyche turns on you. The internal struggle you experience during this is just manifest in the real world because in some people, one psyche is winning. That said, the way out of this isn't to defeat the so called devil, but rather to choose love because the only way out is to replace a false idol with a true idol. That's why the Bible says Jesus saved you because we would be caught in this loop otherwise.

Kind of crazy how you can only be for or against racism. The opposite of racism is not anti-racism, but individualism. Part of this belief is that good ideas are paramount, and good ideas can come from any individual. That’s why we rank ideas based on their merit and have science to force out bad ideas.

Isn't a better measure of marriage whether or not the marriage had a form of self-actualization, rather than time together? Moving to this as a standard is a lot better than reverting to traditional norms of bread winner and house caretaker. I'm not sure what it means for a marriage to self-actualize, but I think a hint lies in the difference between give-give and give-take relationships. A lot of marriages are in the give and take zone, which is better than the take and take zone, but not as good as the give and give zone.

There's a lot of nootropics out there purporting to make your brain better, but if you consider changing the ideas in your brain, you might unlock exponentially more lol.

Red pill started as this movement where the goal was to pick up as many girls as possible and make money. It derives from a boyish take on what it means to be alpha. Figuring out what it means to be alpha is similar to figuring out what the highest high is, which is religion.

I think we are going to land on the final form of masculinity which is to be in service of something higher which requires sacrifice which requires faith. What do you think?

A situation where you can seek truth while being open and not be a totalitarian is fallibilism.

I’ve come to understand the red pill movement and the recent surge in religion as a search for masculinity.
