The only way to change women (and the world) is through yourself.

Why even smart people give useless advice on topics they're not involved in.

1/

Intelligence is the ability to understand and analyze topics. Wisdom is the experience and memory of what a topic is like in practice.

Both are good and amplify each other, but the latter matters more.

2/

Wisdom allows you to understand a topic at a human depth that is lacking from those on the sidelines.

Fat intellectuals may know Clauswitz by memory but they'll never know the smell and feel of combat.

This matters.

Many here are anti-democracy - I'm not one of them. But they are right about one thing: from a logical standpoint the masses do not have enough standing to speak on topics.

Big systems are complex, and those who have accomplished little understand little.

This is why the concept of "skin in the game" has become a core part of #Upstream

We don't care about "this is how things should be" theories. They might as well be fantasies.

Focus on things you know from analysis *and* experience. If you must pick one, choose the latter.

There is no difference btw a "tradcon" male who isn't dating bc muh hypergamy & a "tradcon" female who spends her time posting thirst pics.

This "save the west" larping is as dissonant as a financially dependent "socialist" thinking HE can "change the system."

WAKE UP.

YOU are the problem. Things suck because of YOU. Because YOU spend your time complaining online instead of doing things.

You're angry for one reason: because YOU have contempt for YOURSELF.

The mind conducts crazy rationalizations to protect the ego. You are no exception.

7/

Get right with yourself. Then, once you're happy in your day-to-day, self-sustained, confident - you'll find better quality women.

Choose from them, build your own little culture... help other men do the same. Spread it.

This is how you change the world.
