You can tell twitter users do not hang around women. A woman will say something like this & then 3 days later they’ll sleep with one of the most dysfunctional losers you could fathom.
Just got mogged into oblivion at the country club by a guy who’s claiming that he didn’t know there was a vaccine for COVID. Completely sincere. He must be one of those guys who rules the rulers.
Nightlife/clubs are filled with guys that look like this. Like a species of bug that is adapted to a specific ecology in the Amazonian rainforest perfect for its narrow domain but once it’s environment is disturbed it goes extinct rapidly.
Rural America on twitter: tribes of trad wives picking raspberries & churning butter while impregnate with their seventh son
Rural America in reality: physiognomies you haven’t seen in 80 years, crazy obesity, drug abuse. People who gave up on life before HS graduation
What you notice about him & Bryan “Londyboy” Johnson is that there are no women in their life. No women could last a day in the cauldron of a health-maxxers life. The routine is a product of a manic obsession that can only be a product of the single man’s psyche.
Many people in their 20s are trying to find the self-discipline & non-self-destructive lifestyle habits that their community should have instilled in them when they were 11
If you want to be around any testosterone at all in the workplace you will have to work in low wage degenerate jobs, extreme entrepreneurship or not work at all.
If you want a regular career, you will have to put up with extreme bouts of nausea 8 hours a day for 40 years
“Activity bars” exist for people who have nothing to talk about. You work from home, your online all day. Nothing happens to you. There’s no tragedy or triumph to spill out over some drinks with a stranger. There’s no story in your life worth revealing.
The biggest consequence of risk aversion is voyeurism. From pornography, passive tourism to excess consumption instead of creation. All boils down to people unwilling to stick their necks out in the act of doing something.
Low energetic society theory: majority of people will basically just do whatever is easiest & most convenient & won’t go out of their way to face anything they perceive as difficult. Applying this to how most relationships & workplaces function & things make a lot of sense
Tiger woods clearly hyperthyroid individual

The most important years for your career (if you want something conventional) are the ages of 14-21.
big black pill is how many reasonably smart, capable people are in the "lower classes" because they didnt take pre-calc & the sats seriously.
America is an insane place there are so many rich people. You get rich off making shitty sunglasses. It’s really all there for the taking if you can stomach risk.
Funny talking with boomers who have gone through 2-3 divorces, lawsuits, bankruptcies & they talk about it so casually but feels like just one of these things would totally destroy most peoples lives now.
The chad move now is to quit your job & just go on a rampage start 10 different businesses, trade crypto, NFTs whatever, something will work out & never work again in the workforce it is not for you anymore it’s for middle aged women. Just leave
Youth culture is so dead, complete marketing projection at this point. Internet destroyed it. Most I know between 20-27 have No “youthful vigor” working a 4HL job from parents house or overpriced apartment. Maybe 1 night a week “out” where they don’t do anything interesting.
Health maxxing without self-sacrifical production is a form of sinful vanity thats explicitly about feeling "better than others". Notice how a lot of these guys have no kids... they don't know how to look beyond themselves
I have seen 1000 women like this working at baristas. Bringing me lattes for $2 tips. Their eyes a little too wide. Smile a little too devious. They are 24 & trying to pretend they are no unhinged. Two wrong steps & they’ll be crashing with the face tat dealer in a motel 8.
People saying “burst this bubble”, “zero interest rate phenomenon” don’t get it. These people are above any economic fluctuations. While your business sinks through high taxes & interest rates these people will be Angel investing over $30 appetizers next to your cardboard box.
Fake email jobs are all fun & games until you realize that 7 of the 8 hours are spent clicking between different windows pretending to “work” while dodging hawkish middle managers looking for prey
Pizza is the most unfairly maligned food item. Falsely persecuted. Everything on a pizza is Lindy. Bread, cheese, tomato sauce, a meat, maybe some basil. Nothing fried, no nonsense. It’s a healthy snack.
If people don’t have kids by 35 I think they start getting radicalized. When you get old you need something to die for & If it’s not your kids then it becomes something about melting icecaps or “the threat of fascism” or something
Pretty crazy how you can languish in relative failure for decades but if you don’t fry yourself & still have some soul left the potential of a renaissance, of a moment in the sun is still there. How an eventual big win erases all previous sin.
You go around & encounter a lot of guys like this. They have a lot of money, connections, influence. No real skills. No discernible talent. They won some sort of inside game that people didn’t even know was being played.
I’m not in touch with how feminized work culture is. I work in the mountains with 6 guys. 1 has spent several years in jail. 3 are on trt. All are into extreme sports.
I live in a different world. I don’t know what’s going on
Crazy how much living around hills/mountains impacts your quality of life. Completely flat land is incredibly depressing. A wasteland. Just seeing a mountain elevated your mood.
People like going to 10 different places in a day & essentially do nothing at them just to feel like they’ve had a busy or productive weekend. They’ll just stare at their beer for 20 minutes in different breweries & start telling people they had a wild time going out last night
How I know vitality is high:
Lots of texting/phone calls while driving
Inconveniences of greater than 5 seconds are unacceptable
Forget to eat during the day
Don’t know what time it is
People will randomly strike up convos with you (vibrational field influence)
I think you need a period where you life is miserable for 2-3 years, maybe you make it out, maybe you don’t where you gotta prove you worth, your existential utility to god, the world. If it works out then you get the wives, the procreation ect
Step into the highest income zip code in any city & your future of america will be pretty bullish. strip malls with 80k suvs, health stores, chiropractors, luxury dog food, Chinese-Mexican fusion slop. Go to the lowest income zip code & you’ll think this country has 5 years max.
Southern half of US feels much more hedonistic than the North. South has More aesthetic maxxxing, more sexualized & trustfund party culture. Go up north people are beat up, look tired, sacrificing themselves for a “good honest days work”
This type of business thrives off the “girl math” arrangement.
Where guys with absurds amount of money give their wife/gf credit card privileges without any sort of restraint. This order of nature props up entire ecosystems of retail commerce.
The best cure for any “depression” is to switch brain off & do any form of physical work lots of mental illness is a product of cognitive oriented jobs/lifestyle transitioning energy to the physical clears up a lot.
employee making 40k: This place will take your soul, I contemplate quitting every night, I dread every moment at this hellhole
Executive making 400k: We are like a giant family here, each day working toward a mission greater than myself You truly will not find a better workplace
Every intelligent 23-25 year old who gets a corporate job seems to become a doomer. Wow this is life, nothing is fair, nothing good will ever happen, society is uniquely bad now, I got screwed. You can really see it on here. I was like this at that time, and it was pre-2020
I could tell I was destined for success at a young age because when I “achieve” something I feel nothing but when I lose I think about it for 5 years even like a game of pool.
Modern Pickup truck culture is repulsive. 50% of the complex has pickups. Bro you own no land, you have no cattle. There’s no use. More empty vanity. So much better seeing a rusted pickup in country then these trt guys going into debt so they can LARP blue collar.
Friend got engaged, bought a house had a little party at it can already see how the next 25 years of his life are going to go. It just flashed in front of my eyes. You can see the seeds of their pattern calcifying already
If you go out all you will see is beautiful women everywhere, expensive cars, every restaurant is slammed.
Everyone is working a fake job for absurd amounts of money.
It could be quite literally a golden age while half the population think it’s the end times.
Having the presence of a women around is a great mood stabilizer akin to high dose lithium. Even if you don’t end up having sex with them it can save a man’s mind. Single guys are a terrifying phenomenon. Staring into the abyss night after night….
Podcast culture is stuck. Every time I watch joe Rogan he’s talking about how crazy political correctness is & trans athletes.
He’s been talking about that for 5 years now...
Disagree know many healthy & educated mid 20s people who can’t find a decent job because the job market overweights experience, underweights raw horsepower & youth & exaggerates how difficult “training” new employees & entrants is (takes 2 months for decently smart ppl)
People constantly talk about "jobs" as if there was some army of employable unemployed out there looking for work.
In reality there is not. All employable people have jobs.
New jobs are simply robbing Peter to pay Paul.
In many areas, workforce is shrinking.
I cannot imagine the humiliation of some doctors who spend a decade+ studying dense material, working 80hrs weeks in hospital hell residency, witnessing the horrors of human biological dysfunction only to be mocked by 20 somethings who follow somebody on twitter named “sol brah”
Most people seemed to live wilder lives 20-30 years ago. An indicator of general sickliness is the amount people focus on security & comfort in sacrifice of actually having fun & living an interesting life
Maybe the most pain in the spirit you can feel is when you’re slowly being pushed into a life that feels contrary to your divine destiny. Time is ticking away & your deepest vision isn’t being galvanized while the practical realities push you to something foreign & unnatural
Problem with this relationship is this guy would get steamrolled in divorce court the minute there was sign of financial trouble. This relationship depends on a thriving economy. People think the U.S. GDP numbers don’t matter but it’s holding thousands of relationships together
The lower the pay & status the more workplace drama there is everyone is fucking everybody. Lots of little spats, feuds. The work is boring & prospects grim. Gotta feel something somehow.
Whenever applying for jobs you get disgusted with yourself because you inevitably resort to hollow cliches that represent nothing. It is a world ruled by empty words.
crazy how if youre haitain they will fly you into this country no questions asked but god forbid you want a job & youll need 9 references, survive 4 hour long interrogations, measure your canthal tilt, personality tests, quasi iq tests all for a barely livable wage.
Trying to “get rich early” through loopholes & gimmicks has probably done more to the deskilling of young people than anything. There are few crafts anymore, only schemes.
People's energy is now directed, more than ever, to themsleves. Either strengthening themselves in the gym or in improving health, beauty. Very little energy is directed outwards beyond themsleves. The degree of self-sacrifice in most people is very low, they are afraid of it.
Want to see the Tik tok day in the life of overweight 43 y.o. Accountant stuck in a meddling job on the verge of divorce & suicide the cutie project manager content is getting old.
Talked briefly with a guy who graduated from a top 30 university. In his late twenties.
makes 45k a year in a cold calling position. Crazy world now nothing matters
I cannot describe to you how good I felt on a daily basis living close to 10000 feet.
I was on fire, day in day out. Would go on 5 mile hikes after work. Go to bed at 2am wake up at 5:30am. Like being a more evolved human.
The difference between living at 6000ft and 900ft elevation is about four times more t3, three times more t4, and 1/4 lower TSH. When they cut the thyroid suppliment supply lines, become a cat on Mount Athos and roam it's peaks.
People should keep their “personal life” completely private. Please put up a veil of mystery & secrecy. Do not reveal the utter mundanity of your existence. It’s rather horrifying.
Classic behavior of rich guys is getting obsessed with hobbies they have absolutely no talent in & will never be good enough to make money on but end getting expensive coaching, hours of practice to fill gnawing boredom.
An accidental flex & basically why golf exists
Dark Pilled is that the sluttiest women tend to be very energetic, happy-go-lucky & win in the end while the more sexually restrained ones are lower energy, moody & lack any spark that is “attractive” to a lot of guys.
90% of the people in America live in this debt fantasy world. It’s unbelievable. Couples making a combined 60k a year putting offers on a 600k home.
Elaborate debt schemes & packaging combined with human desire that’s completely uncoupled from reality keep this machine going
People calling this man a “simp” do not understand the exorbitance of this person’s wealth. An expensive dinner & luxury accessories are probably nothing. Made it back before noon the next day. You are outmatched. It’s only simping when you outstretch yourself out of desperation
Cannot explain it but no matter what you’re doing, it could be walking around in circles for hours, if you’re doing it outside it doesn’t feel like a waste of time
No, I will not “learn excel”
No, I will not make “cold calls”
No, I will not castrate myself making PowerPoint presentations.
Yes, I will sleep with the interns.
My job should be to crack a few jokes, drink 12 coffees, flirt with the interns. Make occasional observations & stern directives when the junior associates come to my corner office.
Other than that I’m pretty useless really.
Europe is way too pleasant. Sunshine & roses. Hard to build a 100 million dollar company from suffering after cycling around the canal. You need to see a man's gangrenous leg from intravenous opiates dangling by his last muscle fibers. This is what makes america great.
The 90iq frat bro that’s so easy to make fun of as brain-dead & useless somehow seems to have the grace of god behind him & pull out highly above average life outcomes if they can trade in an alcoholic addiction for a nicotine one.
Kind of Crazy how much greater architecture was deployed in like Buffalo NY. No one cares though. Doesn’t matter how good the buildings are most people would rather live in suburban San Diego than middle of nowhere upstate New York.
The more I’ve l lived the more I’ve realized I lack the cold lizard practicality inherent in corporate commerce. You have to dehumanize people. Strip them of dimensionality & only perceive them based off their function. Low empathy, high strung people really dominate this domain
Had to fire an employee yesterday.
I'm starting to agree more and more with:
"Slow to hire, quick to fire."
I wasn't completely sold on the applicant during his interviews, but hired him anyway.
One month later, he wasn't living up to expectations.
A lot of people would've
After observing an exclusive country club & an extremely rural & impoverished small town in the last 48 hours I can say the best health hack out there is winning. It really is that potent
American cities are boring as hell if you don’t have access to the private world of house parties, private country clubs, private business world ect. No wonder people get addicted to online world, video games if they aren’t in the back room games
It’s funny how everybody on the peat diet is in their 20s or early 30s. You can get away with so much at that age. Let’s put 95 year olds on it & see what happens. Tired of these guys flexing like they’ve found the answers to health when they’re like 25 & 3-5 years in to it.
Ray Peat thought that those with high cholesterol were lucky, because it means you can tolerate much more thyroid before you get some negative side effects -- thyroid takes cholesterol and makes it into hormones
Trump brings us back to a world without top down technocratic control. An ancient world. Assassination attempts, rigged elections, imprisonment. History has been brought back upon us.
Can’t tell you how many people I met who were impressive upon first interaction. Tell you all things they are & done. over time it all diminishes & you realize it was just a cocktail party front.
Don’t really believe that t is lowest when you’re 40+. Walk into any hierarchical setting & the 40+ guys up top are basking in glory, chest puffed out & the young guys are shriveled up raisins just trying to squeak by.
Most People who think highly of this quote have never seen the consequences of failure: broke, divorced, losing your mind under a house that’s getting foreclosed on.
When this abstraction hits reality you realize that you have to be truly possessed or idiotic to “risk it all”
Thinking about this philosophy class I took sophomore year & the smartest person in the class by far was some mid-30s guy who worked retail for 10 years & was trying desperately to break into IT roles.
The Tim Ferris “morning routine” stuff has probably destroyed more good art then it’s created. Much of the best work coming from long stretches of impulsive/wild living followed by manic bursts of writing/production. No routine in sight…
Don’t know if thinking solves anything really. Most of the time it’s just rumination that generates fools gold solutions.
Most of the time the answer just kind of pops up when acting recklessly, unwittingly. It appears when it wants
