		<description><![CDATA[&quot;the results of a hard-wired Stockholm Syndrome in women?&quot;

Most &quot;news&quot; media will not mention the fact that the Stockholm Syndrome is limited to women - no men ever confuse who the enemy is, and why they need to be killed. That is why no matter how long men have been held prisoner in times of war - or peace - when given the opportunity they will kill their captor and escape. Woman do not do that - they adapt to see the most bizarre behavior as the norm. 

This is why women will argue with you that the broken nose they were given by an ex was because he loved her. Yes, they really are that screwed up. So I do not doubt anything that he says - but the fact is, it doesn&#039;t matter. He must be destroyed - just like anyone else that shows something people want to hide from or that contradicts their &quot;view&quot; of reality... 

Heck, I can thank that feature of women&#039;s psycology for my life in general. I will date several women at once, they know of the others but they figure they are &quot;special&quot; and come up with reasons that waiting for my call is a better option than going out with someone else. Maybe it is - but I&#039;m not that special - I&#039;m just a horn-dog, but I admit it. I think this Ariel guy could have enjoyed a lot more women, on his terms, without having to pay to feed them if he had just &quot;dated&quot; women like every other guy. Of course, they may not have been the ones he wanted - but be real... He had the same 3 for a decade... Get a life... I get bored with a woman after 3 weeks - and those are ones that aren&#039;t whining and complaining all the time... But hey... Whatever floats your boat.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In discussions where we share ideas and examine them, accuracy is important. A small conceptual mis-step of one degree can after many miles lead one far astray.

Irrational confidence necessarily means confidence that excludes data. It necessarily means deliberately ignoring reality. This type of thinking can not be applied only as required – it is a habit that will infect other habits, until you will be narcissistic in your world view – you will unconsciously avoid trains of thought that lead to a loss of esteem. You won’t be able to think clearly – even when you want to.

It is possible to have confidence without excluding reality. You can know your relative strengths and weaknesses, and know how much more attractive you would be if you were more confident, and you can put on some rational bluster and fake confidence. That does not exclude reality. That is rational confidence. You can rationally know how much your display of confidence in real life affects reality.

Reality respects us to the degree we respect it. Allegiance to truth wins out in the long game.

Narcissists are charming, but can’t hold down relationships as sooner or later their bullshit is uncovered and they are revealed as shallow fakes. And when their masks are seen through they fly into a rage. There is even a name for that that – it’s called “narcissistic rage”.

Narcissism is widely being deliberately taught as a seduction aid. Those advocating dark triad traits are damaged individuals causing social harm; they are harming the future happiness of our friends.

A narcissist will be incapable of thoughts that threaten to damage his self conception, and is capable of great evil. Narcissism is a horrendous and dangerous trait, and is not an aid to your life. It is something to root out from yourself at every possible opportunity.

A healthy ego and reality are good friends.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is a pernicious meme that has taken hold like a dandelion.  The meme is that irrational self confidence will aid your self interest.

It is pernicious because it is a short term solution that it in the long term detrimental.

I don&#039;t want to look around me 15 years from now and see that my friends are all now crack addicted homeless bums.  And so when I can I mention to people &quot;Hey, it&#039;s probably not a good idea to spend all your money on crack&quot;.

And I don&#039;t want to look around 15 years from now and see guys not getting their intimacy needs met.

And so I tell people, hey, it&#039;s probably not a good idea to blind yourself to what women genuinely value in the competitive sexual marketplace.  Work now to build real value - don&#039;t just assume that you already have it.

Everything does not boil down to confidence.  While you can hypnotize yourself to believe that you deserve more than you really do, this is in the long term not in your best interest.

The way self hypnosis, and irrational self confidence works, is this; your brain excludes all information that does not agree with the self hypnotic suggestion.

&quot;I don&#039;t need a big dick to sexually compete.  I&#039;m great just the way I am.&quot;
&quot;I don&#039;t need big muscles to compete, I&#039;m great just the way I am.&quot;
&quot;I don&#039;t need to be a great lover in bed, I&#039;m great just the way I am.&quot;
&quot;I don&#039;t need to make more money than the next guy, I&#039;m great just the way I am.&quot;
&quot;I don&#039;t need to get my own apartment and furnish it tastefully, I&#039;m great just the way I am.&quot;
&quot;I don&#039;t need to get an impressive car, I&#039;m great just the way I am.&quot;
&quot;I don&#039;t need to to dress well, I&#039;m great just the way I am.&quot;
&quot;I don&#039;t need to be a successful entrepreneur, I&#039;m great just the way I am.&quot;
&quot;I don&#039;t need to be tall, I&#039;m great just the way I am.&quot;

Irrational self confidence will leave you blind to what the competition is doing.  You will literally be incapable of knowing what their relative strengths and disadvantages are.  Because any such knowledge would harm your irrational self conception.

That is how the mind works.

You have two main options in life: self hypnosis, or meditation.  You can either exclude parts of the brain from speaking to other parts, and therefore get magical self hypnotic powers, such as being able to make your hand numb, or forget the number six, or make the wall turn blue, or fall asleep on command, or you can unify your mind, and the wall will remain yellow and you will remain cognizant of the mosquito itch and you will be able to do math in your dreams.

The latter option is what you need to succeed long term. 

The former will help you to screen for girls at the club who are down to fuck and get same night lays.

In my last two posts I made the readers aware that we have choices human psychological needs, and in order to be as satisfied in life as possible, you have to take these into account.

I don&#039;t want to see people in the manosphere follow Heartiste and Roosh into becoming the next Mark Minters.

The dark triad traits will with absolute certainty fuck your life up.

You will not be able to experience empathetic joy (psychopathy)

You will not be able to know realistic confidence (narcissism)

You will have boundary issues of not respecting others free will, and see others as nothing but a tool. (machiavelianism)

If you want to lead a happy life, and not wind up a crack addict on the street, don&#039;t choose the path of irrational self confidence.]]></description>
