Women

I have quite a different standpoint on women from most. I don’t believe that seducing or marrying women is an incredible accomplishment. I can see your face, already you’re surprised. Why would any rational male not see women as an accomplishment in his life? Let me answer: I am more motivated to carve a place for myself in the history books as somebody immensely powerful and influential. On my journey I have realized being romantic with women doesn’t help me. In the past women aligned themselves with their man’s goals and supported him until completion. Many men throughout history have talked about how their wives were the reasons they were able to reach their lofty goals goals. However, feminism has ensured that those days are past. Women are now raised to have their own goals that are more important than the goals of their man. This, neither good or bad, recent development has forced men like me to re-prioritize. Unlike my ancestors I can not expect to find a woman who will want to be on my “team” like the men of the past were had. My life is a ship headed one direction and one direction only. I am the captain. Anybody who enters my life may be part of my crew if they desire. Either the woman will help my ship run smoothly or she can get off at the next stop.

Another point that draws me away from women is the fact that everybody does the same exact things. My most recent date was to the aquarium. While there I observed the other couples as if they were the exhibits. They acted so cute, holding one another’s hands, wrapping their arms around their women at certain exhibits. We’re all doing the same exact thing just as men and women have been for thousands of years. My father did with my mother what I’m doing with my date now. Just as his father before him and my grandfather’s father before him. This process shows why a man is remembered for his actions and never for the woman he “achieved.” Look at the men who achieved great things, nobody remembers their significant other/s. Alexander the Great, John D. Rockefeller, and Henry Ford are all remembered for their actions and not their wives. Even Casanova was remembered for his writings on seduction and not an individual woman. To be more recent, can anybody tell me what Mark Cuban’s wife’s first name is? Carlos Slim Helu’s? Even Melinda Gates will not go down in history while Bill Gates will. The greats won’t be remembered for seducing and marrying a woman because non-great men can do that. For you to be alive every one of your male ancestors had to seduce a woman. That is hundreds of men! Men are always, and always will be, remembered for what they have done. If any man wants to be remembered in history he has to realize that. So masterminds, keep your priorities straight: dominating your world comes first, and women come second.

Solitude vs. Loneliness

In today’s age we often hear about how technology has fragmented human relations and people feel more “alone” and “lonely” than ever before. I don’t I accept this paradigm. If anything the human race is more connected than it has ever been in history. I can talk to my cousin in Iowa from Dallas, Texas in five seconds. Also, technology only has as much utility as a person gives it. Facebook, Instagram and Twitter can only replace a social life if a person allows it to. Instead, I assert that people today are more alone then ever for a two reasons.

One, the reputation of being alone is increasingly negative and increasingly saturated into our culture, therefore on our minds more than ever. Those who are alone are painted as lame, ostracized, ridiculous. Of course underlying this argument is the idea that all people are more entertaining than you are yourself so you must depend on them for “lifeblood,” but we’ll deal with that later. Pop culture ridicules those who are alone on a consistent basis. In today’s day in age, when people are alone for any amount of time they panic and “must find somebody to converse with.” Watch people, it is interesting to observe those who are suddenly abandoned by a social acquaintance to fend for themselves in the social world. God forbid they are spotted alone, then they’ll be perceived as a low value human being, just like in popular literature. Upon realizing their “loneliness” they panic and approach the nearest person so they no longer have to be alone. People need to realize that being alone for a day is not a bad thing. Being alone for days at a time is a bad thing, but in today’s kindergarten world people are scared to be alone for any more than 5 seconds. With the increased amount of “loneliness awareness” in our society it is no wonder people are always alone. Maybe there is some self-fulfilling prophecy involved.

The second reason people are more lonely than ever before is because society no longer values solitude. To seek solitude means to be alone which, according to society, “logically” means solitude is terrible. Solitude is perceived as a terrible nightmare because it requires one to be alone. However, solitude is really being with oneself. By observing ourselves and our actions solitude is employed as a powerful tool. Taking time in solitude to meditate, think, pray, mentally prepare ones self, read and write is good. The constant pressure to “be with people” is suffocating the self-actualization that comes from solitude. There are many good things that come with being alone. To be alone without being lonely a person should approach being alone with a goal of solitude. I am hardly ever alone; I just seek solitude. If I approached being alone as society does I would be very lonely all the time, but because I search for solitude I am never lonely. I believe that as long as our society does not value solitude people will struggle being alone.
