THE MYSTERY OF THE RED DRESS Today’s quote is from the Biography of Steve Jobs. I did read the book in its entirety in 2010, but recently had this bit sent to me from a reader as an example of ‘_How an Alpha should treat a Gold-digger_‘. Mmm? No. As an example of “alpha behavior” or an illustration of equal justice I can see why this incident might be construed as such, but there’s a much more valuable lesson to be learned in this exchange. The incident took place between Steve Jobs and singer Joan Baez, a woman who Jobs eventually had a relationship with. > In 1982, Jobs was introduced to Joan Baez by her sister Mimi Farina. > He was 27 and she was 41. “It turned into a serious relationship > between two accidental friends who became lovers,” said Jobs. Some > of his friends believed that one thing that drew Jobs to Baez was > the fact that she used to date Bob Dylan. “Steve loved that > connection to Dylan,” said Jobs’ college friend Elizabeth > Holmes.” The relationship fizzled out when it became clear that > Jobs wanted children and Baez did not. > Rolling Stone, 2011>
Using a _Red Pill Lens_ on this situation, we see a few apparent truths. The age difference was definitely a factor, but Jobs was well-known for what was called his “_Reality Distortion Bubble_“. In effect Steve Jobs had an intrinsic understanding of himself as his _Mental Point of Origin_. A lot of Type-A personalities have this in common – they innately make themselves the first thought they have in virtually all decisions they make. For some this can border on sociopathy, but most people we consider successes or _geniuses_ had this sense of self as their starting point. Let me make this clear, you don’t have to _BE_ a sociopath or a solipsist to make yourself your _Mental Point of Origin_, but that is where these states begin. Practically every very wealthy man I’ve ever worked for, or with, had himself in mind before a thought was give to anyone else’s consideration in his decision making process; family, spouse, employees, friends, we’re subordinate to his _Mental Point of Origin_. For most the process would start and end with themselves and their interests. These were the sociopaths. For a few that process started with themselves and ended with the consideration of others, but the process was a pragmatic one that facilitated a maintaining of power balance. As I’ve said in the past, I’m a proponent of _enlightened self interest_: I cannot help others until I help myself. Nor can I help others as effectively as when I help myself first. It’s not that you ought to become a selfish prick – you should think of the interests of others – but only after you’ve considered yourself in the scope of your own interests and how your interests facilitate the interests of others. Now that this is settled, let me say that by this metric, Steve Jobs was none of this. According to the people he worked with, his family and friends, Jobs had all the characteristics of a solipsist. Yes, men can be solipsists too, though it’s more of a learned process rather than the innate proclivity women have to be _solipsistic_. From a business perspective, from a single-minded determination perspective, Jobs was certainly an Alpha. His mindset was that of an Alpha. His relationship history, however, was grossly influenced by Blue Pill idealism. One commonality you’ll find among men we consider great innovators, inventors, discoverers and entrepreneurial geniuses is they are almost invariably Blue Pill idealists with respect to their romantic lives. _Jeff Bezos_ and _Elon Musk_ are two current examples of this commonality. Argue their _greatness_ if you like, their personal lives are classic examples of what happens to the Nerd, the autist, the high IQ guy, who’s afforded the money and success to live out their Blue Pill fueled impression of what a relationship with a woman should be like. And predatory women, with the savvy to understand (and have the patience for) the nature of Beta men, make these guys their bread and butter. “THERE’S A BEAUTIFUL _RED_ DRESS THERE THAT WOULD BE PERFECT FORYOU.”
I’m not sure I would describe Jobs as an autist, or being on the _Asperger’s spectrum_, but he was certainly on the sociopath spectrum. Try not to conflate ‘_sociopath’_ with something negative in this instance. Sociopathic behaviors and character attributes can equally be attractive survival traits as they are evidence of megalomaniacal tyranny. Sociopathy is really by order of degree. Jobs most certainly began and ended his thinking with himselfin mind.
My _Red Pill Lens_ read on this is as follows: Something in Steve Job’s subconscious was testing Joan Baez for _GENUINE DESIRE_. I’m fairly certain most of my readers will understand the _ovulatory shift_ implications of a _red_ dress being the item in mention here, but there is a method to Job’s madness in this. > “I said to myself, far out, I’m with one of the world’s > richest men and he wants me to have this beautiful dress.” Joan doesn’t get it from the start here. She presumes that a _rich man_ would want to purchase her affections via the transaction of a gift. Not uncommon for even 41 year old women, and yes, her thinking here is exactly the solipsistic mental point of origin women have a natural default for. Indignant guys will call her a _Gold Digger_, which is accurate, but moreover you have to look at the process here. She presumes that _rich men_ buy expensive gifts for the women they’re interested in. But in typical Jobs fashion Steve flips the script without knowing that’s what he’s doing. When they get to the store Steve points out the dress and says, “_You oughta buy it_.” She looked a little surprised, said she couldn’t really afford it, he said nothing and they left. > “Wouldn’t you think if someone (_a rich man_) had talked like > that the whole evening they were going to buy it for you?” It would be easy to dismiss this part as default female entitlement, but remember this was 1982, and while women (particularly attractive and famous women) did expect things from well-to-do men, the entitlement levels weren’t anything like they are now. I think she was genuinely confused. She really _didn’t get it_. > “The mystery of the Red Dress is in your hands. I felt a bit > strange about it.” > He would giver her computers, but not a dress, and when he brought > her flowers he would be sure to say they were leftover from an event> in the office.
> “He was both romantic, and afraid to be romantic.” This end part is Baez’s last attempt to explain why an ‘_eccentric_‘ rich man wouldn’t buy her a dress he thought she’d look good in. I’m often asked how to go about vetting a woman for a long term relationship, and I’ve _written essays_
about how most men simply never actually have the luxury of holding (much less developing) standards by which to ‘_vet_‘ a woman’s commitment-worthiness. Most men are not _rich men_, most men are Betas. Fewer still have the sense of self-value, or the access to so many optional women, as to presume to _test_ a woman’s interest in him in any meaningful sense. Steve Jobs was not a _necessitous_ man, he had, or could easily realize options when he wanted to. But even though he was idealistic in a Blue Pill conditioned sense, his subconscious wanted something it couldn’t buy – genuine desirefrom Joan Baez.
It’s easy to dismiss the Red Dress Incident as just another quirky personality flaw of a borderline sociopath who didn’t have the _Game_ or the social intelligence to know he was offending or turning off a girl he kind of liked. Indeed, Joan tries to insert her own pop-culture psychoanalysis of Steve in the end; He was _afraid_ to be the romantic she just knew he wanted to be. I expect this kind of rationalization from women who miss out on a once-in-a-lifetime chance to optimize Hypergamy. But what if Steve wasn’t _afraid_? What if it was a form of his _shit testing_ Joan to determine her genuine desirefor _him_?
As I said, most men don’t have the luxury to _shit test_ women at all. For low SMV men, which is to say most men, the thought of experimenting with _testing_ a woman for desire, much less long term suitability is never a consideration. Most guys can’t believe their luck that a woman actually expressed interest in him because they’ve lacked romantic options for most of their lives. So to CONSCIOUSLY experiment with determining _honest signals_ from a woman seems like tempting fate. The _Thirst_ is such that most men would do damn near anything not to screw things up with a girl who’s showing interest in him. Just be thankful your ship’s finally come in, right? I’ll add again here that most women, particularly in this social media era, are well aware that most men will never vet them for anything beyond baseline arousal and sexual availability. _Thirst_ serves the Feminine Imperative very well, but what about men who are Blue Pill idealists, that can actually afford the options? Men for whom money and access are no object, but still persist in the fairytale the Blue Pill told them was possible? What I see happening here is Jobs’ request for Baez to buy the dress for herself was a test of her genuine desire for him. Steve could’ve easily bought her the dress, even the whole store, but that wasn’t the point. What Steve wanted was for her to _WANT _to please him. His expressing a like for the dress was his subconscious testing her desire to please him. “_I think you’d look good in this_; _It’s perfect for you_” isn’t an offer, it’s a request. _Will you sacrifice something to PLEASE me_? 41 year old Joan Baez, could’ve afforded the dress. Hell, Ralph Lauren would have probably given it to her. But she expected Steve to buy it for her; that was her expectation then and it was the source of her confusion right up to Jobs’ biography interview. Her affinity for Jobs was _transactional_,
not based in genuine desire. She failed the test. Whether subconsciously or by design Steve wanted what most well-conditioned Blue Pill men want today: a genuine connection with a woman based on genuine (preferably unmitigated) desire. The _DesireDynamic _
is synonymous with _The Rational Male_. _YOU CANNOT NEGOTIATE GENUINE DESIRE_ is a foundational principle of both my work and all _Red Pill_ awareness that follows from it. Steve’s ego wouldn’t allow him to negotiate for Joan’s real desire. His _Mental Point of Origin_ and marginally sociopathic nature wouldn’t conceive it. But consciously or unconsciously he would test her (and other women he was involved with) for her desire to please him. WHAT IS YOUR RED DRESS? It’s a cliché now for wealthy men to test women’s true interest in them. “Does she love me for _me_ or because of my money/fame/status?” is a Blue Pill fantasy script for Beta men. This has been the plot of many popular stories and movies for centuries now (_Coming to America with Eddie Murphy_), but it’s a cliché because it accurately describes men’s subconscious coming to terms with women’s mating strategies and _opportunistic concept of love_. Women
don’t fall in love with _who_ a man is, they fall in love with _what_ that man is. If a woman ever falls in love with _who_ a man is it’s only after loving him for _what_ he is first. That’s some real cognitive dissonance a man has to confront in his life. The indignation that dissonance produces is very much the _Red Meat_ most low SMV men love to wallow in, and commiserate in. “She doesn’t love me! She loves what I can afford her! She’s a _GOLD DIGGER_, I knew it!” We love having women’s _duplicity_ confirmed for us
as men. It means we dodged a bullet by not investing in, and wasting our reproductive potential with, _a woman who would be a bad bet for our future paternity_.
It provides the same chemical exhilaration and relief women feel when they think they’ve figured out a man’s “true” nature (Alpha Cad/Beta Dad). In the same way women get off on the indignation of discovering of men’s attempts to deceive _women’s existential fear_ of
false signals, so to do low SMV men get off on the indignation of discovering a woman only wants him for his money – not the _real_him.
What our subconscious truly wants is a pairing with a woman who has a genuine desire for us. Hot, unmitigated, Darwinistic monkey-sex is usually the manifestation of that genuine desire, but there are many more nuanced ways our male psyches will try to determine it. In past essays I’ve had men and women run me up the flagpole for suggesting a man _never_ buy lingerie for his girlfriend or wife. “How’s she supposed to know what I like if I don’t buy it forher?”
“I love getting something sexy from my man, sucks to be you.” These, and more like them, are usually efforts in remaining self-ignorant of never having experienced genuine desire from a woman. If a woman has GENUINE DESIRE for you she will be interested enough in you, and have the desire enough, to know how to please you without you explaining it to her. Genuine, organic desire is the foundation of all healthy relationships between men and women. Women who have genuine, unobligated desire for a man don’t ask him if they can go to Vegas for a girl’s weekend – her desire is for her man. Plates don’t require an active ‘_spinning_‘ on your part when she has real desire to be part of that man’s life. Women will eagerly share a worthy Alpha (rather than be saddled to a faithful Beta) _IF_ she has genuine desire for him. > …_and your desire shall be TO your husband, and he shall rule over> you._
> Genesis 3:16
When a woman has genuine desire for a man she _Just Gets It_when he suggests
that a Red Dress would be “_perfect for her”_ and she buys it, borrows it or steals it to wear it _FOR_ him. If Steve Jobs had purchased the Red Dress for Joan Baez, every time she wore it she would be wearing it for _her_, not for _him_. Something inside Steve knew this, and something in you does too.April 10, 2020
THE RED PILL PATH
The Red Pill, with respect to intersexual dynamics, is, and will always be a praxeology. It is unconcerned with value judgements. Issues of how one interprets the data presented by Red Pill praxeology as _right_ or _wrong_ is an exercise in subjectivity and personal belief. In essence the Red Pill should always be about what is – not what should be, not what seems moral, immoral or amoral. I knocked on about this in _The Believers vs. The Empiricists_ back in July of 2019. The problem with adding ideology to the Red Pill is that it distorts the intent of staying as objective as possible. A _PRAXEOLOGY _is the study of those aspects of human action that can be grasped a priori; in other words, it is concerned with the conceptual analysis and logical implications of preference, choice, means-end schemes, and so forth. In a praxeological context, the _Red Pill_ is a ‘loose science’ concerned with the understanding of the underlying motivators of why we do what we do as men and women. It doesn’t get _everything_ right, but it does ask the right questions. It’s these questions that make _believers_ uncomfortable. The beauty of The Red Pill as a praxeology is that we get to write those questions and conclusions down in pencil, not ink, to be erased and edited as new information changes them. The _Red Pill _is not an ideology itself. Despite what many moralist critics would like to redefine it as, a _Red Pill_ awareness is about an obligation to understanding the truth about men and women’s natures. Yes, I know, it is impossible to be entirely objective in anything. In fact, just the thought required in asking a particular question implies a particular subjective bias. You wouldn’t be asking those kinds of questions if you didn’t subscribe to some belief-set that caused you to think about them in the first place. Even a commitment to objective truth is itself perceived as a value judgement. What’s worth your consideration is at least as important as why you think it’s worth considering. I get it. It still doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to be as objective as humanly possible, in spite of the pre-knowledge that we have underlying reasons for being curiousabout something.
OBJECTIVITY VS. IDEOLOGY There. Now that’s out of the way. What one does with the data the Red Pill praxeology aggregates, and how one interprets that information, is up to the individual. The prescriptions we create for ourselves with this knowledge are almost always a value call. The real question for men, new to the Red Pill, is are they beginning from a position of value judgement first and then seeking to find the Red Pill data that best aligns with that preconception? Or are they beginning from a neutral, objective position of interpreting this information and _then_ forming well-thought, rational prescriptions for themselves based on thatobjectivity?
How we make this information useful to us is just as important as how we came to the conclusion that it should be useful to us. After having written in this ‘sphere for almost 20 years now I’ve come to see how men will use Red Pill awareness to either better (save) serve their lives by changing their minds about themselves and implementing it, or else they use that awareness to validate their preconceived belief-sets. Usually they do this by cherrypicking the parts that align with those beliefs and discarding or disqualifying the data that conflicts with them. This is how you get the _Purple Pill_. Accept just enough empirical Red Pill data to validate a belief-set rooted in their Blue Pill conditioning. And it’s made all the better if you can profit from pandering to those Blue Pill beliefs in others by calling yourself a ‘_coach_’ of some kind. PUAs, MGTOW, MRAs, Trad-Cons, Positivity and _Success Porn_ advocates, Red Pill Ministry Pastors, Father-Figure Fitness Coaches, Masculinity Psychologists, Female “_Relationship Experts_”, and a plethora of other sub-factions that reside in the ‘sphere are ALL belief-set prescriptions. Their subjective prescriptions either follow in the wake of Red Pill praxeology, or they find their preconceptions validated – in some part – by the data and awareness that the Red Pill brings to them. When the information that the Red Pill presents conflicts with these belief-prescriptions, that’s when we see _believers_ attempt to redefine the Red Pill as an _IDEOLOGY_. When a stark empirical truth challenges an ego-invested belief, most people feel attacked. That belief is often one that people have based their lives on, so challenging the belief is challenging the way that person has lived for a long time. In terms of the Red Pill, it’s much easier to redefine or reinterpret what that empirical data _really_ should mean to a man. And whenever we see words like _should_ or _ought_ we know we’re dealing with a value judgement. The only way a believer can protect an ego-investment challenged by Red Pill awareness is to reduce the Red Pill to an ideology. _Bring the enemy to battle on your own field and on your own terms_. So long as the Red Pill is just about objective observations, connecting dots and collating data, the right or the wrong of it, the value judgement of what _ought_ to be, is irrelevant to discerning the truth. But if you can convince yourself and others that the Red Pill is in fact an ideological pursuit – not an objective pursuit – then you choose the terms of terms of the battle. If the Red Pill can be redefined as a belief-set then you can lock horns with it with your own belief-set. Then the debate isn’t about what _IS_, it becomes about what’s right or wrong, or what that data _should_ mean, or how it _should_ be put to proper use in a person’s life. Hypergamy becomes less about women’s nature, and more about how women are inherently predisposed to _evil_ as a result of it. Alpha or Beta become defined by how well a man aligns with a preexisting belief-set – “_You’re not a __REAL MAN__ if you believe/don’t believe this_!” – and the Soulmate Myth might become an article of faith that wins an ideological argument. Redefine the premise of the Red Pill as an ideology and you can fight it as an ideology. But even if you could, the data the Red Pill presents still forces a lot of conflict in the _believer_. That leaves the _believer_ to reconcile that data with the cognitive dissonance he/she feels about it. It is much more intrinsically satisfying to redefine, disqualify and then re-qualify information that confounds our beliefs than it is to go into outright denial of that conflicting data. Sometimes outright denial is all that’s left. People resort to denial when recognizing that a truth would destroy something they hold dear; and there are few things we hold more dear than our investments in what we think are right and wrong with respect to how we solve our reproductive problem. In the case of a cheating partner, denial lets you avoid acknowledging evidence of your own humiliation. Short of catching a spouse in bed with your best friend, evidence of infidelity is usually ambiguous. It’s motivated skepticism. You’re more skeptical of things you don’t want to believe and demand a higher level of proof. Denial is unconscious, or it wouldn’t work: if you know you’re closing your eyes to the truth, some part of you knows what the truth is and denial can’t perform its protective function. This is why we say, “Once you’ve seen the code in the Matrix, once you’ve taken the Red Pill, there’s no going back.” One thing we all struggle to protect is a positive self-image. The more important the aspect of your self-image that’s challenged by the truth, the more likely you are to go into a state of denial. If you have a strong sense of self-worth and competence your self-image can take the hits but remain largely intact; if you’re beset by self-doubt (a hallmark of self-righteous Beta thinking), however, any acknowledgment of failure can be devastating and any admission of error painful to the point of being unthinkable. Self-justification and denial arise from the dissonance between believing you’re competent, and making a mistake, which clashes with that image. SOLUTION: Deny the mistake or redefine the terms of the debate. By nature men are deductive problem solvers. This is manifest in many ways, but for a Beta male who still believes solving a woman’s problems will lead to him solving his reproductive problem, more often than not it leads him to a worse life. Once a man unplugs and begins to internalize what a deeper, more accurate understanding of intersexual dynamics means to his life he’s going to look for ways to apply it to his own circumstances. This is a natural, unavoidable progression. As I’ve stated in many an essay, I’m not in the business of making better men, I’m in the business of giving men the tools with which to build better lives for themselves. I expect men, at some stage, to use what they’ve learned from what I write to change their minds about themselves and become the better men they can be with a better awareness. I do not offer prescriptions. I do not have a one-size-fits-all formula or 12 catch-all rules that will help you live a better life. Most men want that formula, and a lot of them will pay a small fortune to avoid the work necessary to effect a real change in their lives if some _coach _even hints that they have the cheat codes to do it. They are sheep in search of a shepherd. I have precious few expectations of my readers, but one is that I expect you take it upon yourselves to be the artists of your own lives. If it frustrates you that I won’t hold your hand and lead you to a better version of yourself just know that going through that frustration is necessary for you to be your own man. Not an adherent, not an acolyte, but the author of your owndecisions.
A lifetime of Blue Pill conditioning has already attempted to remove that control from you long enough. March 29, 2020March 29, 2020 DISSECTING BODY LANGUAGE Hard to believe my seminal essay on _Body Language_ is almost 2
years old now. I did a review of Body Language and a subcommunications with Jon from Modern Life Dating on my latest livestream and it was good enough that I thought I’d make a post of it here. I’m also helping Jon out with his Body Language Mastery II program this time. I passed on the affiliate marketing stuff for the first program Jon did because I wanted to “audit” the class first to see if it was legit. I understand a lot of guys’ first impression of this stuff can be a bit off-putting, but the videos and the interactive stuff was really pretty good. I get that not everyone in my audience needs this program, but if you do, or maybe you’re just looking to have some interaction about Game, I’m endorsing Jon on this program. If you watch the livestream you’ll understand why. I’m really late to this party. Tomorrow, Monday, March 30th is the last day to get in, but if you’re interested follow this link: Body Language Mastery Registration ends at midnight March 30.March 23, 2020
THE FUTURE SHOCK
When something big in the news goes down I’ve learned from experience not to be too quick to write anything about it until the hype dies down and more information comes out. My long-time readers know what I’m talking about. In the early days of this blog I could get caught up in a story about how a guy got Zeroed Out and committed suicide or killed his family and himself, and people would run me up the flagpole for jumping to conclusions. That those conclusions were, in fact, accurate was irrelevant to critics. It was all about ‘_hasty generalizations_‘ and confirmation biases at the time ofwriting.
This new Corona Virus pandemic is something different though. There are a lot of people very eager to jump to those hasty generalizations in _this_ global crisis – and pointing out their panic only makes them feel more justified in panicking. At the time of this writing we’re seeing a globalized response to a globalized virus. For all or our _new order_ information, technology, access and connectivity the same _old order_ human nature remain the same. Odd that the people who’ve criticized me for being too mechanistic about our evolved nature are the same people who are in a righteous panic caused by the nature I’ve been told we’re supposed to be evolved above now. But today, instead of a localized panic, we get a global panic. Instead of localized disinformation, we have globalizeddisinformation.

Ironically, _Zuby _ tweeted this quote about a week before the Corona Virus really became what it is now (late March, 2020). At the time I though it captured what was going on in our _Global Sexual Marketplace_ so I saved the quote, but it’s true about a lot of _new order_ areas of our modern globalized lives. And that includes global pandemics too. I wrote about _old order_ versus _new order_ thinking a few months ago. This essay, _The New Age of Enlightenment_,
is actually an excerpt from my upcoming fourth book in the _Rational Male_ series and is a theme I carry through much of it. At the time of my writing it I had come to much of the same thinking as _Zuby_ had here: it’s time we re-envision what a rapidly advancing global society looks like. My take began in the global sexual marketplace, but it’s expanded to many other areas of life. It’s a challenge to humanity to be sure. Reassessing what was _old order_ wisdom worth preserving and abandoning what was simply inaccurate (or deliberately distorted) in the age of _new order_ information and communication is something most people are unprepared for. Most people are too comfortable in the lives they built for themselves based on the foundation of old order ideals. The Virus pandemic is proving this to us in real time and online 24 hours a day now. Faced with the rapid, systemic shutdown of every major economy on the planet, the global community now reverts to its very human, very predictable nature. The response to real, existential crisis is what defines the person, and what defines their ego-invested belief-sets – except everything is intensified. Here’s what I’m seeing happen. BELIEVERS’ CONFIRMATION Doomsday preppers rejoice. Christians, Catholics, all love and hate this crisis simultaneously. It both proves God’s love and God’s wrath in the same breath. And as I’ve expounded upon in the fourth book, there’s simply no arguing with people who have no questions. Don’t take this as a flame on_believers
_
– I get why they find comfort in it – it’s a simple observation of how crisis situations bring out what truly motivates people in a way we only rarely see. Even the _woo woo magical thinkers_ find a common confirmation of their spiritual-but-not-religious beliefs. They all told you so. They all knew it was coming. The tea leaves and energy ‘vibrations’ have all been off for months. If only we’d sent enough positive Juju out into the universe the Law of Attraction would have prevented all this! Likewise, they’re all equally unprepared for it. A reaffirmed _faith_ (however they define it) will see them through. And maybe that’s a good attitude to have when panic and fear are the hot new commodities to sell on the worldwide stage (I’ll get to that in amoment).
Uncertainty is difficult for people, but there’s a lot of comfort in finding confirmation of beliefs in crisis and tragedy. And that belief doesn’t necessarily have to be religious. Political wonks are equally zealots now. This pandemic will define presidencies and, going forward, will likely determine the platforms of future world leadersfor some time.
“_NEVER LET A GOOD CRISIS GO TO WASTE_” – especially in an age when the majority of the worlds’ people literally cannot escape seeing it in real time. For the political ideologist, on either side of the spectrum, how this pandemic is being handled by officials, and the prophecies of inevitable economic ruin, is just as belief-affirming as religious confirmations. For the Left, this is the event they’ve always waited for to bring down a president who’s been effectively invincible since the Primaries of 2015. To use their own words, they can “_finally get the motherfucker_.” That it took a global pandemic is irrelevant. For the Right, it’s an illustration of how life will look under the fantasy Socialist tyranny they see in the Left. The wholesale closing of abortion clinics is an added bonus. In our own sphere, for MGTOW it’s the sweet humbling of women’s egos as, from all appearances, women turn to a new appreciation of conventionally masculine men and ape the mannerisms of traditional femininity – for now. For the Trad-Con sunhat ladies this feminist pivot is, again, reaffirming. Gone, almost overnight, are the bleating of social justice warriors with all discussions of socially constructed gender norms. Noticeable in its absence is all talk of Women’s History Month (March) and the need for reparations in gender inequities. Hell, in Finland the all-female, all-feminist, government is glaringly impotent from all accounts I’ve read. Most of this is what I’d expect from the average global citizen in the face of a world changing, relatively lethal, pandemic. However, it’s the _new order_ _Outrage Brokers_ and
_Success Porn
_ Hustlahs
scrambling to place their bets on the next 9 months who are truly a wonder to behold now. OUTRAGE BROKERS IN THE APOCALYPSE Amongst all of this pandemic gnashing of teeth we get the inevitable grifters. If we’re honest, we knew most of these guys were leeches when times were good. Certainly not all of them, but the temptation of quitting an _old order_ day job for the promise of a _new order_ monthly direct deposit from Google for playing ‘life coach’ on a webcam was a dream come true for most. Now their true natures rise to the surface as they see the chuckwagon of the gig economy pulling away. And just like rats going through an _Extinction Burst_ they frantically try every new angle that they might profit from. THESE ARE THE WAR PROFITEERS OF THIS NEW ORDER ERA, BUT THE PITCH IS THE SAME AS IT WAS IN THE PAST – STOKE FEAR, SELL SECURITY. It almost seems quaint that I brought up this exact formula as discussion topic on _Rule Zero _ just 2 weeks ago. We were illustrating how the term Red Pill (and now MGTOW) has been coopted as a branding opportunity by “_coaches_” and “_relationship experts_” with very little experience beyond what they can glean from others in the sphere. The main point was this: it’s far easier to get views and build subscriber bases in next to no time when your material is all RED MEAT outrage for ‘underserved’ _Average Frustrated Chumps_. Toss out a few “red pills”, paint a few of them black, and commiserate with the average 80-percenter guy’s reality with women, gynocentrism and then play on the same _indignation porn_ that the mainstream has been selling to women for 3 decades now. All sizzle, no steak. Is it any wonder that critics think the Red Pill is populated with nihilistic, homicidalIncels?
But that’s the formula. It just took men longer to perfect it for a fresh generation of male consumers. Indignation might be an innate female need, but the past 3 generations of men have developed a taste for it as well. It’s what happens when boys are raised as defectivegirls.
It’s important to see this crisis through the emotional lens that the past 4 generations of men and women have been taught to prioritize. For over 50 years now we’ve been conditioned to see the female, emotions-first, experience as the _correct_ interpretation of every facet of a globalizing society. This pandemic is no exception. Because of their _emotions-first nature_
fear is easy to sell to women. Women’s innate need for security is what made them the primary consumer in western societies, but now we have at least 2 generations of men who were educated to be defective women. Those_Village_-educated emotions-first men are susceptible to the same sales formulas now. _Feels before Reals_ isn’t just for women, and this pandemic crisis is proving it in spades. The savvy hucksters know this. The not so savvy ones will attempt to go back to whatever cubicle job they think still exists for them before they quit their day jobs. But the career Outrage Brokers are already profiteering from that formula; feed the fear, sell security. You know the names. Watch them. You’ll need to remember their nature when things shake out.ZEROED OUT
What even the best Red Pill rage-bait “entrepreneur” knows is that the vast majority of his/her soon-to-be-former supporters will be Zeroed Out in the coming months. There is no going back to what we thought of as normal. Even if we recover back to a comfortable normalcy fairly quickly this experience changes things. The game has changed, all games have changed, and the uncertainty of the basics will replace the leisure of having the personal concerns we used to entertain before the virus hit. A LOT of good men will be _Zeroed Out_ in the wake of
this crisis.

The chemical rush that comes from indignation-without-solution will always satisfy in the short term, but now it will be a reminder of what people had a luxury to pursue before all this shit went down. Grifters and Outrage Brokers know this. Zealots and Shamans know this. Black Pills, God-Pills, MGTOW and every Red Pill rebrand knows this. And the old order thinkers who were comfortable and self-righteous in the certainty of a condition that couldn’t ever end for them will all say they saw this coming while they shit their pants looking for a way to sustain themselves. The red meat is all that’s left for them, and they’ll climb over themselves to be the source of it. I’m not throwing all this out there to freak anyone out. Freaking out is the reflexive response I’ve been seeing for 2 weeks now. It’s more infectious than the actual virus. I’m simply trying to put this crisis into rational, masculine perspective. That requiresobservation.
Yes, women are going to revert to their survival instincts; observe it, catalog it, use it to confirm what the Red Pill has been proposingfor 20 years now.
Yes, lesser men will panic and expect you to panic along with them. Their imaginings and superstitions are a source of dopamine for them. Learn from their real nature. Yes, the Outrage Brokers will all feed you fear and sell you product to allay that fear. They’ll all have a nootropic pill to cure Covid soon. Make a note of who they are. And yes, you will likely be Zeroed Out in some manner in the coming year. Take comfort in knowing you’re definitely not alone. You, me, everyone will need to rebuild ourselves to some degree soon. Start analyzing you strengths, pay attention to what’s going on around you. You must be agile like never before. Many different aspects of Red Pill awareness will be confirmed for you, a lot probably have been already, learn from these confirmations. This is the Future Shock. Now is not the time to flounder in despair. Look for the opportunities.March 10, 2020
ALPHA MEN
Back in July of 2019 I was approached by a Dutch documentary team from VPRO (Dutch Public TV) who asked me if I would be open to doing an interview with them. I gave them a tentative yes, but I was really hesitant to trust ANY source that looked like the mainstream media. When they said they’d be at the 21 Convention I actually cancelled on them. I no longer want any association with their lack ofintegrity.
The director/producer, _Nordin,_ kept on me though. He convinced me to do the interview because the “documentary would be incomplete” without me. I was still really sketchy about doing it because I know how these things go. It’s their game and they can easily make you look like a monster or an idiot if they want to. _Nordin_ was really upfront with me, but so were a lot of other “_journalists_” I’vedealt with.
I’m glad to say my concerns were unfounded. This documentary was the first real ‘fair assessment’ of the ‘sphere that I’ve ever seen. I’m in the ranks with the likes of _Dr. Warren Farrell_and
_Hannah Rosen_ in this and I think they did a good job of presentingthe topics fairly.
You’ll have to get past the psychotic look of _Elliott Hulse_ on thethumbnail though
Half of this is in Dutch but it’s still very watchable if you don’t speak the language. All the English speakers are subtitled in Dutch so it’s pretty good as-is. As soon as an English subtitled version is up I’ll swap out the links. Have a look at this and tell me what you thought. My segment comes in around the 30:30 mark, but well worth a watch of the whole thing to get some context. I will likely do a longer review post of this video in the coming weeks.March 3, 2020
YOUR MISSION, HER MISSION Does your woman think of you before herself? Does she make your priorities her own priorities? Does she surprise you with acts of kindness and appreciation? Does she inherently know that your success is her success? Does she admire you? How does she show it? Does she know what you need before you know it yourself? Does she plan ahead to ensure you’re taken care of? Does she care to know _who_, not just _what_ you are? Does she take time to learn about or participate in the things you arepassionate about?
Does she look forward to having sex with you? Does pleasing you please her? Does she do any of these things with genuine desire or is she fearful of your displeasure?OR
Is your woman ‘_high maintenance_’? Is pleasing her or avoiding her discomfort your mission in therelationship?
Is your relationship defined by how well you measure up to herexpectations?
Is your woman’s success more important than your own? Are you the _sentimental_ one in the relationship? Do you plan ahead to ensure she’ll be in the right mood? Do you perform chores in the hopes that it will make her amenable toyou sexually?
Do you believe your relationship is (or should ideally be) anequitable one?
Does her family take priority over your own at holidays? Is your relationship based on quid pro quo? Is she ever surprised by your anger? Is your relationship perpetually a “work in progress”? Is your relationship’s _success_ defined by qualifying to hermetrics?
Do you measure the quality of your relationship by how well you meether needs?
These are tough questions for most guys. I’m often asked how to _vet a woman for a relationship_
or marriage and the hard part of coming up with a list of qualifications is that you have to actually be in a relationship with that person to really judge a woman’s suitability for a long term commitment. Hot sex is a great ‘up-sell’ for women to convince a man to commit, and it’s usually at the top of a guy’s list of must-haves for his commitment, but you don’t really understand her motivations or genuine desire until you are already in a relationship. Now you have emotional investment in her (caught feelings) at the same time you’re realizing she’s really not the person you thought you were vetting her for. THE ‘ASSHOLE ALPHA’ A hard thing for most Blue Pill, Beta men to appreciate is the genuine desire a woman has for an Alpha man. When that guy sees a relationship that’s based on a woman’s dedication to please her Alpha man, his Beta Hamster goes into action. A lot of things don’t line up with what he’s been conditioned to believe about women and how a relationship should go. His first presumption is that the Alpha guy is a ‘manipulative asshole’ and if he ‘respected’ her she would be better off for it. It’s certainly not how he would treat her. Default respect for women plays well for a Blue Pill mindset. If you read through my first set of questions above the most common impression a feminized mind will have is that I’m implying a woman ought to be _beholden_ to an Alpha man. While it’s true that, ideally, a solid conventional relationship is founded on a man’s ambition and success, and his woman sharing that mission, she has to _want_ to be a part of it. Forcing a woman to be a part of a man’s world is actually the methodology of a Beta man. > Monogamy can occur either because a female chooses to be faithful to > a male, or as a consequence of a particular lifestyle. > _ Promiscuity, Tim Birkhead_ Exploring the _Desire Dynamic_has been a
key feature in all of my writing. Understanding that genuine desire cannot be negotiated is usually one of the toughest parts of the _Red Pill_ to accept when a guy is just coming into it. It’s hard because most men already realize the principle; they’ve just been building lives around the contingencies, and forming deep rationales, to avoid accepting it. I have readers tell me all the time that what I put forth in my books and essays is stuff ‘t_hey already knew in the back of their heads_‘, they just didn’t have the words to articulate it. Your relationship sucks, or your marriage is soul-destroying not because you can’t seem to live up to a false ideal (which is true), but because your woman has no _genuine desire_ to be a part of your world. Modern marriages fail, not because of trust issues, or security, or even ‘her needs not being met’ – they fail due to a lack of genuine desire. MOST WOMEN TODAY ARE IN MONOGAMOUS RELATIONSHIPS AS A CONSEQUENCE OF A _PARTICULAR LIFESTYLE_. Blue Pill men have a hard time with this as well. A relationship based on a woman’s choice to be faithful to a man, based on her genuine desire, looks a lot like what he’s been taught a lopsided _manipulative_ relationship is all about. The prime-directive of feminism (the _female Blue Pill_) is that
a _Strong Independent Woman®_ should “_NEVER DO ANYTHING FOR THE EXPRESS PURPOSE OF PLEASING A MAN._” Part of a Blue Pill man’s lifelong conditioning is to think like a feminist woman thinks. MOST BLUE PILL MEN ARE _MALE FEMINISTS_ BY DEFAULT. Whether they vocally identify as one is largely a formality; Blue Pill men _think_ like feminist women, because their social education came from feministwomen.
When a Blue Pill male encounters the rare conventional relationship – one based on a woman’s genuine desire and a man’s Frame and ambitions – and he sees a woman doing things for the _express pleasure_ of an Alpha man, his first impression is that she is with him by coercion. That conventional relationship model doesn’t fit with what his female teachers taught him was the egalitarian ideal. Thus, rationalizing that a beautiful woman would only feel obligated to please an asshole is because she has low self-esteem, she’s _forced_ to please him because she’s destitute, she’s codependent, he overtly uses _Dread_on her, etc. This
becomes his ego defense of his Blue Pill conditioning. His default presumption is that she is with _that guy_ as a consequence of a particular lifestyle. It never enters his thought process that she is with that Alpha by choice.OBJECTS OF DESIRE
Most men are uncomfortable with being the object of genuine desire. Even the idea of having a woman do something inspired for his express pleasure makes them feel like they’re falling into the role of Asshole Alpha. _Promise Keepers_ in
particular hate this impression of themselves and will go to great efforts to quash it in themselves, by deriding it in other men. If you read the first list of questions above and thought, “_Damn, that sounds harsh or manipulative. What about her needs?_” this is your Blue Pill training coming to the surface of your consciousness. Just the thought that, as a man, you might ever be truly desired by a woman gets conflated with ‘abuser’ status. Either that, or the first consideration is to default to _Bank Slate_
thinking – “_What about her_?” This is the egalitarian, presumption of ‘equal-and-opposite’ as the ideal thinking. Most Blue Pill conditioned men, and virtually every _Fempowered_ woman,
defaults to “What about her?” as their _Mental Point of Origin_.
Guys do this because it’s been hammered into their brains since grammar school that ‘PUTTING WOMEN FIRST’ is the surest way to gaining their intimate favor. As such, the idea that they might ever ‘come first’ with a woman becomes an alien thought to them. Not only that, but they see the hypothetical Alpha I mentioned above as the _villain_ to defeat in order to prove his quality. That ‘quality’ is based on his ‘putting women first’, so an Alpha Asshole becomes a golden opportunity to display how well he’s learned his Blue Pill lessons from his female teachers. Without the _Red Pill_, without the insight to question his conditioned belief-set, this mindset is impossible to break in a guy. For the most part he’s attached his _Game_ – his hope of solving his reproductive problem – to that Blue Pill, _Village_ training. Some guys may never break the cycle. They never see the code in the Matrix. Most men fall into a grind of constant qualification to women because they have never, and will never, be the object of genuine desire of a woman. Their mental models prevent them from ever being that object to a woman. They would feel awkward, dirty, for making anything _about them_. When a man’s _Burden of Performance_
can be directed towards qualifying himself to women, men will begin to conflate their masculine identities with how well they can ‘put herfirst’.
The religious Trad-Con mindset revels in this, but the ideal comes from the same source – feminine primacy. Directionless, purposeless, men find a purpose in making the pleasing of a “_quality woman_” ideal the metric by which they measure their manhood. The Feminine Imperative figured out how to make women’s security the measure of a man long ago. It was written into men’s sense of duty and his Gods’ will. They must become less so she becomes more. It didn’t always used to be that way, but since the advent of romantic love as an ideal, it’s been the game men were told they had to play. And now, men’s natural competitiveness is channeled to outperforming his rivals in how better he can serve the Feminine Imperative. > IV.

Fewer still will give themselves permission to do so. The reason for their difficulty is that their reproductive success was pinned to the Blue Pill mindset they’d had beaten into their psyches a long time ago. The _equal partnership_ ideal is antithetical to how men and women evolved to be complements to the other. That ‘equal’ partnership is predicated on a man endlessly proving his dedication to ‘putting her first’ that his hindbrain believes will lead to a woman’s genuine desire for him. His hope, his understanding, is that if he works at his relationship long enough, if he puts her first, eventually she will appreciate him and desire him based on his efforts and performance. But it is just this priority in his life – the priority he’s linked to what little sense he allows himself to have of his manhood – that defeats his ever getting to that state of a woman’s genuine inspired desire.February 25, 2020
WHY WE FIGHT
> “Violence, naked force, has settled more issues in history than > has any other factor.” – Robert Heinlein, Starship Troopers In the almost nine years of of this blog I have only hit upon _violence_ on a couple of occasions. I’ve only been in a physical altercation a handful of times in my life. And by that I mean _real_ fights; the kind of violence that requires you to physically harm another person. I’ve been in lots of sparring fights and martial arts tournaments, mostly when I was in my 20s and 30s. While I’ve been hurt and caused hurt to my opponents, I can appreciate that there is a qualified difference between competitive _sport_ fighting and real violence. The one mutual interest my younger brother and I had when we were growing up was beating the shit out of each other. By the time I got to high school I was no stranger to taking a fist to the chops or various headlocks and “wrassling” holds. Most of the times I’ve been in _real_ fights were in high school. It’s interesting just how Darwinistic our teenage years really are –we’re just too immature to appreciate it then. Unless you grow up in a sheltered family, learning about sex and violence is usually part of our adolescent experiences. After high school I got into a few fights when I was playing gigs in the late 80s-90s Hollywood scene. Depending on where we played and who we happened to piss off, those kind of fights were something you had to keep in the back of your head as being a possibility. Usually you had friends or bandmates who had your back, but not always. Of those scuffles most of them were versus a drunk guy who presumed he could kick my ass, or my bandmate’s ass, because, well, we weren’t exactly the most physically imposing guys to be honest. And a lot of those fights were initiated in one of two ways; the guy was fed up with guys like us because the women (usually in some sexy outfit) preferred to fuck guys like us – or, the fight was provoked by a woman and the guys fighting were coming to blows over who’d fucked whose girlfriend. Often enough it was the girl herself who’d later admit she “made a mistake” and one or the other found out. All of that was back in the late 80s and early 90s. Things have definitely changed with respect to how violence is initiated, normalized and respected (or delegitimized) today, but the basis of that violence will never change. Violence is part of human nature. We do ourselves no favors in denying this simple fact. I can remember in 2001-02 when I did casino promotions for this new ‘sport’ called King of the Cage. It was the forerunner for today’s MMA fighting, but back then it wasn’t as socially acceptable as it is now. I believe Nevada was one of the only states that could legally host such an event. The outcry then was that it was an underground ‘bloodsport’ and legitimizing it as a true sport was the first step towards degenerate social savagery. Or something like that. People used to be appalled by it. Now MMA fighting is something I’ve seen some Evangelical Christian churches use as a draw to get their men to attend a ‘masculine revival’ weekend. Warriors for Jesus with a ‘saved’ MMA fighter speaking about using his _sport_ as a ministry. I think there’s a primal, evolved side of men’s nature that makes violence attractive. And like _love_ and _respect_, violence is another aspect of the human experience where men and women’s approach and understanding isinnately different.
Boys and men are innately drawn to competition, combat and violence. We make _‘guns’_ out of our fingers. We craft weapons from scraps we find in the garage to defeat our ‘foes’. We love our plastic army men and G.I. Joes, our cowboys & indians, and we play ‘war’ with our friends. Our video games from the first coin operated arcades to our immersive virtual reality consoles are about combat and strategy. Even sports have been called a “proxy for war”. Team sports are a facsimile of tribal competition. Human males’ physiology, by and large, evolved for combat and physical stresses. I realize that might be hard to believe by today’s standard of masculinity, but the evidence is there. The male Burden of Performance began with a need for testing that performance against our primal environments and some very real opponents. I have read some interesting research that suggests human beings are innately risk averse. Most humans would rather avoid conflict than voluntarily engage in a fight that they could very well lose, if not die from. The logic is that humans’ success as a species is at least partly due to our evolved sense of caution for life and limb. If you cooperate and play it safe it’s likely your risk-averse genes would propagate into future generations. Of course the flip side to this can summed up in an old Latinproverb,…
FORTUNE FAVORS THE BOLD. There’s also research that shows men experience a spike in testosterone levels after defeating a rival in combat, and/or killing their opponent. This doesn’t even have to be actual violence; some studies show men experience a similar spike when their sports teams win a significant game. So, while in some instances avoiding conflict and backing down from a dangerous engagement has survival benefits, risk taking and enacting one’s will by force also has some reproductive benefits. For as much as they rail to the contrary, women _do_ have an affinity for violent men. Women get turned on by men with a capacity for violence. Modern psychology attempts to pathologize this arousal prompted by dangerous men (hybristophilia), but, by order of degree, women evolved to select for men with at least the perceived capacity to do harm to another man. I would speculate that this attraction stems from women’s evolved need to seek security and protection from men, and sympathetically, men evolved an innate protectionist aspect to our own evolved firmware. Competing with rival men for sexual access, sometimes violently, is part of our ancestral programming. As we developed into a more _‘civilized’_ species that competition shifted to contests of performance between men, but the old violent firmware is still part of humans’ starting package. LET’S YOU AND HIM FIGHT On Twitter and a few past livestreams, I’ve pointed out that women today have developed a false sense of security with respect to the potential of _real_ violence. This is equally a result of the masculinization of women as it is our accommodating the Feminine Imperative in mainstream cultures. In the age of social media, as the globalization of women’s entitlements have spread, so too has women’s entitlement to personal safety. One very real downside to the _Fempowerment_narrative is
that it has convinced women that the fantasy of the _“strong female”_ is something they can aspire to personally. This is what I’ve called the _Warrior Princess_
fallacy: Over the course of generations our feminine-primary social order has convinced women that they can realize the same warrior role as men. Via storytelling in various media the ideal that physical differences in men and women are relative, and women can be “just as tough and dangerous as men” is pervasive. This is a dangerous precedent, and one that is a direct result of _old order_ beliefs in, and popularization of, _Blank Slate_equals.
In the idealized fantasy society of equalism, masculinized Amazon Warrior Princesses can give as good as they get from any man. But in the real world, men evolved for physical performance, competition and combat; women evolved to endure the rigors of childbearing and nurturing. And as the introduction of transgendered biological males into biologically female sports divisions is proving, the realities of our physical differences is unavoidable. However, the idea that women are always entitled to physical protection in the _new order_ presents some interesting dichotomies. Women mix an entitlement to personal safety with an expectation of clichéd female bravado. Remember, this all happens in the context of women’s innate solipsism; add a bit of alcohol and the social posturing of a group of women all vying for attention on a Friday night and you begin to see the volatile potential. Today’s women have grown accustomed to initiating or escalating inherently unsafe circumstances for themselves – to say nothing of the men they’llinvolve.
Women have a limbic understanding that, for the most part, they can be violent with relative impunity. If a male ever strikes a female, even in self-defense, she can be assured that a mob of random males, following their evolved protectionist directive, will spontaneously form to beat the shit out of the guy. In today’s Blue Pill engineered society, even the most passive male waits for an opportunity to prove his quality to womankind by becoming ‘justifiably’ violent in defense of a woman. It’s what most men are conditioned for for most of their lives. > “Sorry babe, I don’t know what came over me. I just can’t > abide by any man assaulting a woman!” The old, vestigial, evolved response of violence is something our male hindbrains know will trigger ‘gina tingles in women. The primal ideal of the nobleman with the capacity to unleash justifiable fisticuffs is Blue Pill conditioned psychological red meat. That the woman provoked or escalated an unsafe situation isn’t even an afterthought – the guy raised a hand to a woman, opportunities to prove a legitimate capacity for violence are rare for low SMV men. As such, women presume safety. Women will raise hell about feeling unsafe around men. They’ll bleat about fantasies of enforcing a ‘male curfew’ (only for undesirable Betas of course) out of safety concerns. We’ll hire security staff to walk a woman across a dark parking lot and install emergency call boxes on college campuses. But in social situations (particularly when drinking) will escalate inherently unsafe situations knowing that men will play by the _oldorder_ rules.
There is an old PUA maxim that picked up on women’s penchant to provoke men to violence. It was called the _LETS YOU AND HIM FIGHT_ dynamic. Whether women are aware of this and deliberately provoking a fight between men, or, their subconscious motivates the conflict is a debate that’s been around for a while. But the LYHF dynamic is a shit test women will use in assessing a man’s Alpha status. Women need indignation as it is, but in this dynamic is a woman’s hindbrain wants a visceral response from a man. I first became aware of the LYHF shit test when a friend had told me how annoyed he was by his girlfriend starting fights with guys that she expected him to finish. She would honk the car horn from the passenger seat if someone had even slightly cut them off in traffic. Even flip off other drivers if the opportunity presented itself. She would start fights with other women which would provoke their boyfriends to step in on their behalf and he was tacitly expected to kick their ass to defend her provoking them. “What are you a pussy?Go beat his ass!”
I’ve tackled the subject of shit tests numerous times on this blog so I won’t belabor them here, but this test plays upon some very deep, evolved, intersexual and intersocial dynamics. On some level of consciousness a woman wants to know her man can get violent. Most Blue Pill men find that suggestion appalling. We’re supposed to be “above all of that”, right? For the most part I’m sure the majority of men would rather not be put into a position of taking a fist to the face. As such we build social conventions and rationales around not engaging physically in a _real_ sense. So, to consider a woman might desire a man with a predilection for violence prompts them to qualify that woman for his own safety. INTRASEXUAL COMPETITION > “Any group is weaker than a man alone unless they are perfectly > trained to work together.” – Robert Heinlein, Starship Troopers When a group (tribe) of primates reaches a certain number of members the potential for ‘_hostile takeover_’ by lesser males becomes almost a certainty. Beta male primates form coalitions to overthrow an existing Alpha leader. Most dominant Alphas instinctively cull this coalition building to ensure their position. A smackdown, abuse, punishment for anything that looks like a challenge to his position from lesser male troop members is something Alphas do to infrequently teaming up on him. Partially this is a display of dominance (social proof reinforces it), but it is also a curbing function. Eventually the Alpha becomes weaker and less effective at enforcing his dominance, and the Betas grow in number until such time that they can band together and depose him. Then the cycle repeats with the most dominant male among them assuming the Alpha role. He gets access to the most fertile females, kills off his rivals’ offspring (which prompts the females into estrus) and reproduces for as long as he’s able to remain in that position. And yes, I’m aware of the theory that pro-social Alphas that build loyalty-exchanges among other males, and display a willingness to share resources with females, tend to make for better ‘leaders’ within a tribe. What most of that research conveniently leaves out is the element of envy and jealousy that develops (even among primates) in the Beta male population until the sentiment reaches a point of challenge. Even the good-guy, prosocial Alpha has to watch his back. As you might guess, many of these behaviors are paralleled in humans. Alpha displays of violence, even if by proxy, are ‘_sexy_’, but mostly we manifest male prowess in social displays. Athletics, resource acquisition, peacocking, conspicuous consumption, really any costly signaling of high sexual market value. To compete with these Alpha displays, lesser males must either: * Increase their own value, and learn to display it effectively, * Find ways to convince other men, (coalition building) and reproductively viable women, that those displays are worthless, while propping up his own displays as more valuable. In the age of social media and mass communication Beta males are constantly reminded of their lesser positions. There’s no respite. Even the most well-meaning, prosocial Alpha’s presence is a reminder of Beta male inadequacies. High school bullies and ‘_Jocks vs. Nerds_’ is a constant theme across human cultures because the evolved human male experience is always one of competition and a _Burden of Performance_. To be male is to compete, and as such there will be winners and losers. Deposing, or disqualifying, an Alpha – much in the same way primates do – is also a constant theme in human cultures. Beta males enacting ‘_justice_’ on an ‘evil’ Alpha or an Alpha proxy has always been a teenage fantasy for boys. Spiderman, Captain America, the wimp who incredibly transforms into a powerful Alpha himself will prove to the world how that Alpha power should be ethically used. The geek who gets the girl because she magically sees his superior quality that aligns with the terms he’s establishing as valuable is also a fantasy. All of these cast the Alpha as ‘oppressor’. “O, it is excellent to have a giant’s strength, but it is tyrannous to use it like a giant.” – Shakespeare, Measure forMeasure
Why is using strength, displaying value and exercising will an act of ’tyranny’? Why is restraint of power a moral imperative? How did we come to disqualifying value displays? I’ve seen a few talks by Jordan Peterson where he promotes the idea that a _real_ man is a dangerous one who possesses the capacity for violence and oppression, but has the strength of will _not_ to use it. This then begs the question, how does anyone know a man even possesses this capacity if he’s not to display it? Concealing strength is awesome, but it is, by definition, indistinguishable from weakness. No one knows if you’re a black belt or a white belt until you get in the ring and fight. However, the _moral_ consensus is that it’s unacceptable for men to display value. This then is the global, social coalition that was formed by the majority of lesser men. To continually disqualify the merits of superior men is individually taxing and makes lesser men look worse for doing so. But build a social order around men self-policing their displays of value; then you have higher value men doing the heavy lifting for lesser men. You may be powerful, but the social mores of the time (created to serve the majority of lesser men) will tell you to conceal it. In fact, they’ll build social conventions to convince the whole of men that displaying _vulnerability_, not strength, is adisplay of value.
Most of what I’m digging at here is _old order_thinking.
Socially enforced monogamy has primarily served the greatest number of Beta men. And while it’s definitely been a stabilizing factor for civilization, I can’t ignore that the social expectation of monogamy is also the result of society-wide coalition building among lesser men to ensure that greater men wouldn’t out-breed them. Most male-specific social conventions are designed to control men’s innate directives. Their latent purpose is to teach rules that limit displays and usage of strength. And in the _new order_ we see this _old order_ intersexual competition struggle to keep pace with a global sexual marketplace that centers on women’s innate mating strategies reseting context of intersexual dynamics. Open Hypergamy incentivizes men’s overt displays of higher value – and now on a worldwide scale. In response, men form online coalitions to disqualify those displays in an attempt to devalue the strengths of men they couldn’t hope to compete with in the _old order_. Meanwhile, women in the global sexual marketplace continue to reward men who display genuine value according to their matingstrategy’s needs.
