The Drawbacks of Minimalism

Remember, if you want to be a minimalist and get rid of materialism, I cannot recommend the following book enough:

The Left is Here to Entertain You

 It is easy to get angry at leftists when you view them at face value and look at their destructive behavior.  You get angry because their behavior is destructive to society.  For example "Chloe Ayngal" is a now-former writer for the Huffington Post who was looking for a job since she and many others got laid off from "the paper."  It was painful how she thought her Doctorate in Romantic Comedies was something of value a new employer would enjoy.  But it was not as painful as how much in taxpayer and society's resources in general was wasted on this waste of a human person.

Take also a bit of a dated article on how younger men like older women.  This is of course from the dubious Daily Mail, but the millions of old women who read these lies and believe them, engage in further destructive behavior wasting whatever few grains of sand of time may be left in their hour glass of beauty.  Their lives are effectively over, but you might get angry at how such lies harm future generations where we send yet another full generation of women into the battlefields of corporate America or life-long academia and not into the loving arms of a husband or family.  Men are also upset in that what normally got them up in the morning - women - is now being denied to them.

There is no limit to instances of leftists destructive behavior. And there is no doubt their behavior will destroy society.  So much so there isn't much of a future left too look forward to.  But I think it's important to point out while we are here and in a very Viktor Frankl way to take what modicum of joy or victory you can from them since that is all there is.  Alas, it's vitally important to realize that for every instance of destructive behavior there's not only a side of the coin that harms society, but another side that destroys the leftist.

For example, the 50 something woman I saw driving her Saturn Sky.

There was nothing inherently wrong with the woman.  Nor in the fact she was driving a Saturn Sky.  Matter of fact I think the Saturn Sky (and it's Pontiac equivalent - the Pontiac Solstice) are two of the sharpest looking cars GM came out with before both Pontiac and Saturn closed down.  It was the ancillary circumstances that made everything wrong.

First, this was in Minneapolis.  And while there's nothing wrong with driving a Saturn Sky in Minneapolis, there is something wrong driving that vehicle in Minneapolis during winter.  If you are driving a rear wheel, two seater sportster CONVERTIBLE in a Minneapolis winter, it means you can't afford any other transportation and are a fool for having to resort to a summer car as your winter transportation.

Second, the convertible roof was patched up with duct tape.  Indicating poor ghetto financial decisions like driving a summer-only car during winter, patching up your convertible top means you not only can't afford to repair it, but you're storing the car outside AND are not smart enough to put a top over it.  It's akin to seeing those Dodge Neons with the completely sun-baked-out hoods where the paint has worn away.  You never waxed the car, you never took care of the car, because you are too dumb to known to have done that.  It made the otherwise smart and sexy car look trashy and actually made me feel bad that such a nice vehicle was being forced to endure a winter. 

Third, the way she dressed and the way she walked.  You could tell as she walked out of the nail salon this woman had a divorce settlement of some kind and had pissed away the money.  She was wearing clothes that were too nice for her frame, and too loud that screamed "I got a settlement."  I know it's a bit of a stretch to say you can determine this from one's clothes, but I am supremely confident that is precisely what it was.  Her walk only confirmed it as she was boastfully (not proudly) walking to her beleaguered car not realizing people with real money, real financial stability, or simple automechanical sense could see through the middle school facade she was trying to pull off.

Finally, the Obama bumper sticker.

You don't put a tattoo on an attractive women's body.  And you don't put a bumper sticker on a beautiful car.  I would gander this woman did both.

When you take all these tidbits of evidence together, it's pretty apparent that this women got some kind of significant settlement to imagine herself as "rich."  However, her poor auto-mechanic decisions evidenced by her car proved she was not smart enough, capable enough, or responsible enough to hold down a job that would afford her a "rich" lifestyle.  She was living a lie, living through her money, and though she no doubt voted to lessen the lives of others, her lie was going to destroy her life in the process.  No doubt that Saturn Sky has since irreparably broken down, her body aged equivalently poorly, and whatever short term 15 minutes of fame her divorce got her is now over and she's back to baseline.  She's back to herself.  The party is over.

This is the punishment (for leftists) and the pleasure (for non) to enjoy.  To see (typically) leftists make bad decisions that may harm society, but in the end also harm, if not outright destroy, themselves.  Worse, the added delusion and mental suffering they put themselves through by going through rollercoaster rides of artificial success and back to long term failure is also an added price they pay, and encore performance we enjoy (just look at all the liberal arts majors who are ecstatic during graduation and the slow, inexorable decline they face for the rest of their lives.  I can't think of a worse punishment). 

Enjoy the decline.  And enjoy their delusion.  It's the greatest show for those of us in the real, working world to enjoy.

Sanity is the Future of Wealth

The following is an excerpt from what I and others consider my best post of all time.  I spent three days writing it and it ended up being about 16 pages long, but I think 4, maybe 5 people read the darn thing.  Thus I put it behind a patreon paywall, in part because I've always been curious about how pricing something makes people psychologically want it more, but also in part because I wanted to experiment with paywalls.

"This introduces a very interesting truism about humanity.  That the vast majority of value in our lives is not exchanged through money, but via humans voluntarily bartering their time, attention, and excellence with one another.  I would argue this has always been the case about humanity/economics - where monetary exchange, though necessary, only accounted for a small minority of the total value of the human experience.  But with income inequality gone, with wealth unlimited, THE ONLY THING remaining is the value of human interaction.  But it can't just be "any" human interaction.  It's going to have to be valuable, quality, and sought-after human interaction.  And this will pose a problem for leftists."

The Red Pill Penetration Rate

It's Tough to Get a Prescription for Red Pills

The Manosphere or Red Pill community has existed in one form or another for about 15 years.  Be it pioneers such as Fred on Everything, Tom Leykis, or the founding triumvirate of Rollo, Roissy and Roosh, an alternative digital explanation to the nature of men and women has existed opposite to the officially sanctioned and government-endorsed narrative that has existed since the 60's.  However, just because it has existed, doesn't mean its existence has had an easy go.

Like anything that goes against the officially-approved narrative, the "red pill" has received an inordinate amount of flak, ridicule, vehemence, and villainization.  You are automatically a "sexist" if you believe in traditional sexual roles.  You are a bigot if you dare to be a man.  Being a man is now officially a mental illness.  And if you dare to insist your future wife not be a tatted up, student-loan-endebted, Marxist, unemployable whore who will stay at home and raise your kids in a nuclear family, you are woefully ignorant, even criminal and need to be banned from employment, school, government positions, and the rest of society.

To those of us who have taken the red pill, it is clear as day what is happening.  But for those still stuck in the metaphorical "matrix" they are confused, lost, and ultimately perplexed.  They are driven insane when their logic and genetics runs against what the establishment is telling them.  Some of them break, swallowing whole the narrative they've been fed and become the sexually amorphous soyboys nearly all millennial, feminist men have become.  Others hold onto the productive aspects of masculinity feminism has allowed them to, but follow the roles they were prescribed to be as a beta-provider, living up to the motto "happy wife, happy life."  But then there are the few men who know there's something wrong.  They cannot abide the contradiction between what they're experiencing vs. what they're being told.  And so they search for an alternative explanation, Googling questions such as

"why aren't women feminine anymore"
"why do women cheat"
"is there a wage gap"
"why should I get married"
"aren't tattoos on women ugly"

which lands them squarely in the Manosphere and Red Pill community.

What they see there initially shocks them. But it only shocks them because it runs 100% contradictory what they've been approved to think.

No, men and women are not equally interchangeable, they are different but equal in their own regards.
No, women do not work as hard or as long as men, they often choose easier, worthless degrees and bitch about the consequences till they die.
No, women are not as courageous as men because they would be asking you out in equal numbers.
Yes, women as a group on average have voted to replace men with government checks because they prefer security over love.
Feminists do hate men and the movement is not about the equal treatment of the sexes, but the preferential treatment of women over men.
Yes, there is indeed a war on men and masculinity.
And yes, women love their careers and degrees more than they do family, spouses, and individuals.

And here is the point in time where they can choose to take the red pill, living in an admittedly sad, but at least reality-based world

or

return to the Matrix, working their 55 hours a week, paying 45% of their income to the government, and supporting children that aren't their own, all while their women get uglier, more tatted up, fatter, lippier, and less feminine.

Of all the men who land on red pill pages, I estimate half lack the courage to take the red pill. They return to the hell hole matrix of Normie World they were familiar with and effectively waste the rest of their lives.  The other half take the red pill and stay.  But this group of men is still a small pittance of the total male population, and so the "red pill movement" remains a truly alternative and obscure one that will never gain traction in the real world

....or will it?

Numbers

For while the red pill and manosphere may seem to be fringe communities holding extremist views, keep in mind these communities have only been around for at most 2 decades.  Feminism in its most viral and intense form has been around for 5, and still hasn't convinced every woman to join its hate-filled religion.  Furthermore, feminism has had the added benefit of both GOVERNMENT and CORPORATE support, advocating, even enforcing their ideology on all school children since the 70's.  The manosphere/red pill community has both government and corporate America fighting squarely against it, so it's a miracle we've had the modicum of success we've had.

But have you ever wondered if we're making a difference?  Have you ever wondered what percent of the male population is pulled from the Matrix?  It would be one thing if only 1 or 2% of the male population got hip to the jive of feminism, and the red pill community truly was fringe and obscure.  But some ball park estimates and some observations I think will paint a much rosier (and for once an) optimistic picture. And though things may seem dark now, you might find solace, dare I even say "hope" when we make an attempt to measure the "red pill penetration rate."

First, take the example of Terrence Popp vs. Bolde.  Bad Popp did a video response to an article written by one Riley Cooper.  The article was for a site called "Bolde.com" and was about why "So Many Smart and Attractive Women are Rolling Solo."  The article was of course how women didn't need men, fishbicycleempoweredamazingtrademark, and of course Terrence debunked it for the lies and falsehoods it was.  But the article was such utter tripe and propaganda, I asked the question, "Is it even worth Popp's time to address this?  I mean, whiny self-pitying articles written by dumbass 20 something girls are a dime a dozen.  Does this article even have the pull?"

So I looked up Bolde.com on Google Page rank and....

it's ranked even lower than my blog.

Captain Capitalism, my shitberg blog, has more pull and marketing power than this otherwise professionally done and financed website.  Terrence Popp has 83K followers on his YouTube channel (you should be one of them), and this Riley Cooper doesn't exist except in the shadow of a professional athlete by the same name.  Bad Popp, with his sole YouTube channel is reaching more men in a week than Bolde, its corporate backers, and fleet of no name authoresses do in a year.

Second, Rich Cooper. 

Rich is further evidence that the internet is the equalizer of all things.  He has over 160K in YouTube subscribers and reaches tens of thousands of men each week.  This is more than any one girl who writes for the Huffington Post, Bolde, XOJane, or any one of the score of establishment feminist rags.  A lot of that is of course due to a flood of pro-feminist/narrative sites which dilutes the readership/viewership than any one individual "journalist" at these rags gets.  But Rich didn't have to form a CNN-esque level media company to get his message out.  He didn't need financial backers to pay for his "amazing flat" in New York City.  And he didn't need a husband to subsidize his career at Jezebel.com.  His message is good, his message is true, and when men search for questions both heads are asking, they're going to end up on his page and not Salon.com.

I could go on with other examples of red pill internet phenoms and their pull.  Stefan Molyneux, Coach Red Pill, Roosh, and that not good Asshole over at Asshole Consulting.  But if you take the time to compare their statistics in terms of followers, subscribers, Twitter numbers, etc., AND compare them to the presumed numbers of "professional, narrative-endorsed journalists," the men in the red pill communities are SOMEBODIES, while you probably couldn't name one of the THOUSANDS of common, indistinguishable, NPC narrative-spouting THOTS who populate the blue pill world.

This lays down a hopeful foundation for the future of the red pill world. Go back 20 years ago and you didn't have the internet, let alone a voice for men in main stream media.  The media was staunchly socialist, staunchly feminist, and staunchly anti-nuclear family.  And while government/education/media/corporate monopoly still exists today, they no longer hold a monopoly over all media.  The internet and simple men with simple internet media channels provide a serious and real alternative to the perfectly and artificially sculpted Anderson Cooper on the nightly news.  There are real and established beach heads for future men to at least land on now, whereas before there was none.

Three, actual numbers.

The mathematical, statistical pull of various red pill and manosphere content producers is one thing.  But I wanted a bit of a harder number to go by.  Of course this is impossible, because how do you precisely measure what percent of the male population has taken the red pill?  Gut feelings, in all honesty, are probably just as valid as any methodology I could come up with. But come up with one I did. And replete with all it's flaws, I think it's at least in the ball park. 

First, I looked at the group of men who are most likely to be forced to take the red pill.  Men who were walking along, minding their business, when suddenly out of the sky

FLASH
BAM
ALAKAZAM!!!

their wives served them divorce papers and goodbye.

I figured men who've been divorced MUST be red pilled because it was smashed right into their faces.  They didn't have a choice.  And so we got ourselves a BASE LINE of 21%.  21% of men have been divorced (and that does not include boys who are not yet of divorce "marrying" age). But even divorced men are hopelessly blue-pilled, and 12% of them go back and get married again, leaving 9% of men who never marry again, and an absolute baseline of 9% redpillers.

Second, confirmed bachelors.  I lost the original source for this statistics, but 20% of men 40-44 were never married and had no intention to (this is somewhat supported by 70% of men 20-34 being never married).  We could argue that at least some of that 20% is going to get married, and just because a man is a confirmed bachelor doesn't necessarily mean he's been red-pilled.  But just assume half of these men never marry and you add an effective 10% to the original 9% of 'ne'er to marry again' re-confirmed bachelors, and you're at 19% of the male population.

From here the numbers get a little bit more amorphous as the causes for men's various "red pill" behaviors may not in fact be red pill in origin.  Did "Bob" decide not to marry because he read Rollo or Roissy, and said, "fuck this shit!"  Or did Bob see his dad get put through the divorce wringer and said "fuck this shit!"?  Did Mike not propose to Susie because he binged on Terrence Popp videos?  Or did Mike major in stupid shit, is loaded with a ton of debt, and simply can't afford to propose?  One might argue this is "purple pill" territory, and I would agree.  But society gets to face effective redpill behavior and I would argue should at least be partially considered in the red pill penetration rate.  Additionally, I wanted to include these metrics because they highlight something important longitudinally.  A point in time where the internet took off, allowing the red pill message to be spread regardless of what the establishment media wanted.

A clear example of this is the percent of men living at home.

While living at home is more or less shameful and would not be considered "manly," it is effectively "red pill" because it really does deny women men and marriage.  Why do so many men live at home?  There are many reasons.

The economy sucked.
Student debt.
The cost of college.
The laziness of the millennial generation.
Spineless parents.

But somewhere in there, I theorize, is a percent of boys who saw their baby boomer dad just get ass-raped in divorce.  Saw his family obliterated in front of his young eyes.  I'll admit that the majority of the reason young adults live at home are sociological and economic, but there are at least SOME full grown men living at home because their traditional incentive that got them to leave home (family formation) has been utterly destroyed in their eyes.  Again, they may not consciously know that is a red pill reason.  But it is in nature, and I would argue at least another 3% of the 10% increase since 2000 should be added to the red pill penetration rate.

I would also note the longitudinal point I mentioned earlier.  Notice that there is a sharp spike in 2000 to today.  Effectively Gen X was the last generation of men to move out of the house, while the millennials decided to stay home in droves.  Once again, we could argue this is because of economic and sociological reasons, but I cannot help but wonder if the internet and young men's propensity to search for answers about girls on the internet helped some realize the futility and hopelessness of the situation.  With no incentive or possibility for a life-long marriage, not to mention the increased risks and warning signs of divorce being pronounced from red pill sites, at least some of that sharp rise should be due to young men taking some red pills (perhaps even black ones).  This reinforces by decision to add 3% of these men who live at home as doing so because they took the red pill.

The same point can be made from the dramatic rise in the never married (25 years and older) rate for men and women since 2000.

There is the same, dramatic increase in never marrieds since 2000, once again suggesting at least some men have opted not to marry due to what they found on the internet.  Of course, women as well have been fed a steady diet of anti-marriage and anti-family propaganda, putting their careers well ahead of families, but that has always been the case since the 1960's.  The increase in the rate from 2000 to 2012 (lord knows what it is now) indicates access to the internet has driven people out of the marriage market even more.  However, let's be very clear about one thing about the marriage market - it's a man's market.

To propose takes courage, bravery, and balls. None of which women have.  Despite screaming and screeching how equal they are in men's faces, when it comes to the simple act of asking a guy on a date, or just to a cup of coffee, women are hypocritically absent when things because challenging or difficult.  And so I would argue the dramatic decrease in marriage since 2000 has been not only internet-led, but male-led as well..because...well...let's just face it ladies.  You're not equal here.  Men aren't proposing as much as they used to.  I argue at least some of that 6% decrease in the marriage rate is red pill inspired.  Tack on another 2%.

When We Add It Up

When we add up the numbers I estimate the Red Pill Penetration Rate is 24%, with a hard core bottom number of 19%, and up to maybe 27% if you consider some of the purple-pillers "defacto red pillers."  And when you think about it, this is an amazing amount of progress for 15 years of conscious, deliberate work.
In the 1990's men were truly hopeless, wandering, and clueless.  We had NO IDEA why women were behaving the way they were.  We had no idea what they wanted. And even worse, we were lied to about all of the above.  But what made it even worse than that is we didn't have a way to tell we were being lied to.  Men spent decades of their youth thinking they were the ones with the problem.  They were the ones who were wrong.  We spent decades and untold trillions of calories of energy purging every possible flaw from ourselves in the analog days, only to find out through the internet that there was nothing wrong with us, and it was society that was at fault all along.  Now, not only do men never have to face that insanity and frustration ever again, they can immediately get an answer online if they're brave enough to doubt the main stream narrative.

But it gets even better.

If a virus achieves an infection rate of 24%, or even 19%, it's almost a guarantee the entire population will become infected with it, bar individuals who are somehow physically immune to it.  And it will spread especially fast if there's a vehicle by which the virus can travel.  In the medieval ages it was rats spreading Bubonic plague all across Europe, today it is the internet spreading truth and red pills all across the world.  If 24% of the male population can be converted to the red pill in 15 years, that's 1.6% each and every year.  That may not seem like a lot, but look how far we've come since Roosh penned his first posts.  10 years ago a mere 8% of the population was red pilled.  Give the manosphere as much time as we've given feminism, and by the time I'm dying, I estimate a full 80% of men will be red pilled and living in the real world once again.

But I'm even more optimistic than that.

For if I were to ask you what the most powerful force in the universe was, what would you say it was?

Light?
Magnetism?
Thermodynamics/heat?
Gravity?

The answer is the male sex drive.  If it were not for men and their sexual appetites, this world would not exist, society wouldn't exist, civilization wouldn't exist.  The only reason you're reading this on a computer, powered by electricity, 2,000 miles away from where it was written was because men wanted to have sex and built these inventions to convince women to sleep with them. And if we built jet engines, mastered electricity, invented the super computers, cured diseases, and landed men on the moon all for sex, you damn right men today and forever more are going to search the internet on how to get women.  It's the number one thing that drives men to do everything they do, and it guarantees that they will forever be searching the internet for real world, effective advice on how to get them.

The mainstream media, "Bolde," the government, the K-12 education system, the media, Hollywood, Salon, your mothers, your sisters, and your female friends will all give you advice that will never get you women, never get you laid, and will get you divorced. They will give you lies.

The red pill and manosphere communities online will tell you the harsh truth.  And in doing so, it will actually help you get laid and live a happier better life.

Men's sex drives and nature will guarantee the future will be very red pill. And there will be nothing the feminists, socialists, and main stream can do to stop it.

Housing Bubble v 2.0

Was on with Laurie Zoock and Frausters Radio where we talked about the current housing bubble.

I do believe there is a bubble, though nowhere near as bubbly as the previous one, but I also think housing is still integrated with the real economy enough that it will cause a slight recession, perhaps just a slowdown/stagnation in 2019.  Again, could be wrong, but there's enough powder to cause an recessionary boom.

"And for that reason, I'm out."

In days of yore I would have given a shit. But since society wants to tie real men's hands behind their back and make retribution illegal, I just can't give a shit.

Why I Will No Longer Recognize the Week

One of the main problems with life is that to merely survive takes all (and more) of your youth.  That to just get by you need to work two jobs, double time it to earn yourself a degree, double time it again to pay off the associated debts, and then still double time it a third time to establish yourself in a career.  If you do it right and are frugal along the way, you inevitably "win" where you have the American dream, no debts, and an adequate retirement account.  You are free to live your life and you're lucky if this happens before 40.  If you're not frugal, succumbing to the marketing industry's propaganda to buy expensive cars and houses through debt, you merely damn the remainder of your life to double timing it forever, dying penniless, or perhaps like most boomers - in debt. Thankfully, the majority of my readers are in the previous group where we are either already there, or well on our way, ensuring we do not waste our lives.

But there's a problem with success. For if I am ever to be remembered for anything, it will be my quote "Success is merely the replacement of one group of problems with slightly lesser ones."  And the reason why I will be remembered for that is because THAT IS PRECISELY THE DEFINITION OF SUCCESS.  There is never a world without problems.  You may solve your larger ones first, but then you move onto smaller ones, then smaller ones, and smaller ones after that.  But they never end.  There is no world or life without problems.  And sometimes, the problems are there, but you don't see them because of how you attained success in the past.  Your work ethic blinds you.  Your fear of poverty and starvation prevent you from seeing them.  And in an ironic sense, what helped you attain these rare levels of success, ends up becoming the problem itself.  And in this case, it is your work ethic.  And so I'm here to warn you how your work ethic may come to harm you in your future.

I faced a very minor problem today, but it was "the" most prominent problem I faced.  I desperately would like to write more.  The "problem" is that Asshole Consulting, my youtube channel, and newer forms of alternative media (podcasting mainly) have taking increasingly larger percentages of my time.  This is good news because I'm making more money and they're successful, but now my days are not as open or care free as they once were.  Throw in on top of that I insist on enjoying life via having fun (hiking, motorcycle riding, golfing, adventuring), and there's an ever dwindling pot of time to satisfy the demands of my life. This is alright because I manage my time wisely and have the energy to usually meet all of my own self-imposed demands, but today it was different.  Today there was another factor.

It was just absolutely gorgeous outside.

The real stress over these genuinely 0 world problems came from the fact I haven't written a serious post in a long time.  And if I had enjoyed the day outside hiking, that would postpone the article I was 50% done with into Friday.  Friday's readership/traffic is less than "normal" weekdays, so I would once again fail to meet that deadline.  Yet, at the same time, staying indoors on a perfectly dry 72 degree and sunny day to finish a piece on "Red Pill Penetration Rates" sounded even worse.  Still, work is work and you have to work.  Work before pleasure.  Get your work done.  It is your work that allowed you this lofty choice in the first place.

But then I realized something.

I haven't had fun writing pieces, hitting the gym, going on hikes, doing videos and doing podcasts in about a year.  The original thrill and exhilaration that you're producing a good or a service that people want and the digital freedom that comes with it, only lasts so long.  And while I have total control and domain over my schedule and I answer to no one, trying to hit the gym every day, get three hikes in a week, golf 2, write two quality posts, motorcycle ride one, and bang out 2 podcasts, not to mention a score of consultations for Asshole Consulting becomes very taxing.  And what once was an unbelievable job and an enviable lifestyle, has now become more of a forced time-table chore of hybrid work and fun.

What I ultimately realized is something John Steele said. He said "we have less days ahead of us than behind us."  And while working hard in the past has led to this great life I have today, if I'm not enjoying the days today, then I am wasting what dwindling time I have left.  Yes, all of my freedom today is derived from the fact I do what I should be doing at all times, but if that's the case, then when will I ever enjoy life like I want?

This epiphany was very important.  For most of our lives merely surviving is what occupies our minds.  And we think that "surviving" or "making it" will be the end of our battle against Maslows hierarchy of needs.  But even when you defeat Maslow, that struggle to survive and "make it" is so engrained, so scorched into your mind it will dictate what you think you should do to be happy, instead of doing what you want to be happy.  Thus your life is one of doing what you "should" do and not what you want to do.

You want to just sit down, chill and relax and play some video games?
No, you SHOULD go to the gym.

You want to just binge on 1960's WWII movies with a roaring fire on?
No, you SHOULD writing the economic treatise.

You want to eat that icecream sundae with sprinkles and whipped cream?
No, you SHOULD eat no carbs or sugars because then you won't be ripped.

And you want to go for a hike when it's beautiful outside?
No, you SHOULD stay in and finish that blog post.

Yes, "should" will get the work done, pay the bills, and put your body in shape, but it won't make life any fun.

The problem is that I am no fool, nor should you be whether you are at this stage in life or are currently en route.  I know the work has to get done.  I know the Assholes need to be consulted.  The books need to be written.  And the podcasts need to be recorded. Besides, I actually do love doing this stuff.  But instead of optimizing these responsibilities into a hard schedule, trying to fit them all into the work week, and abiding by the world's standard 7 day week, I'm going to take a page from myself in 1978 and do things as if I were 3.

However I want to.

Being 3 was great.  There was no concept of "Monday Mornings" or "hot Saturday Nights."  There was no concept of waking up early or going to bed late.  There was no concept of "should" just "want."  When I was 3 I did what I wanted when I wanted to all the time.  Of course, this doesn't meant it will be all play and no work.  I'm fully aware that bills have to be paid and motorcycles need to be maintained.  But "should" is no longer going to be the primary determinant of the remaining 30 years of my life.

If it's a beautiful day outside, the blog posts can wait.  I'm going to go for a hike.
If I'm too tired to hit the gym, I don't need a six pack.  I'm parking my ass at the cafe for the afternoon to write.
And if it strikes me at 1AM to bang out a bunch of videos or podcasts, so be it.  I can sleep till noon.

Admittedly, this new schedule (or complete lack thereof) will likely cut into my overall profit and success in life.  Posting a deep literary piece on Sunday afternoon will not garner the traffic had I posted it on Tuesday morning.  Going for a hike or getting 18 holes of golf in will not chisel my chest had I gone to the gym.  And aimlessly wandering about the American West on my motorcycle will not produce any of the (now) 7 books I wish to write.  But the freedom, lack of worry, and no longer fretting about doing everything I "should" will drastically improve my life enjoyment.

You too must be prepared for when you reach this stage in life.  You must realize when you've "made it" and that doing what you "should do" all the time, will ensure you unnecessarily waste the remainder of your life.  You did not work so hard to liberate your future from the economic demands of food, clothing and shelter to be a slave to "should."  And so I strongly recommend you do what I do and no longer recognize the days of the week.  Just like when we were 3 years old, it doesn't matter if it's Friday or Tuesday or Wednesday or Saturday.  It's just another day in paradise and the work will get done.

In the meantime, here are some pictures from my awesome hike today.  And no, the post on "Red Pill Penetration Rates" did not get done.

The Masculine Geek and Mike Works Online

Cappy's been whoring himself out a bit for different podcasts.  Someday, sometime, I might actually have the freaking time to write one of the score of posts I intend to write.  In the meantime I was on two shows.

First, the maiden voyage of The Masculine Geek Podcast 

and

Mike Works Online where the host, Mike, explores the world of working online an remotely.

Both are worth a tune-in and Mike's show is definitely worth a listen if you want to work remotely and become a digital nomad.

Sarah Silverman Had a Show???

I guess so, because it's been canceled.

But don't worry.  These "comediennes" are like herpes.  They'll always come back.

The national park goers and green people are turning out to be just as debauched as the rest of us.

I am about the most evil right wing libertarian you can find, but it pisses me off when I see litter in our national parks or even the local city park.  But trust you me, just like global warming advocates fly across the world in private jets, these Sierra Club types will shit, piss, and litter in the national parks just like everybody else.
