Weekend Interviews

So I had the pleasure of speaking not only with Mark Baxter once again, but also Carl from Black Label Logic. If you’re not familiar with Carl you really ought to (he’s on my blogroll links on the sidebar). Between he and Illimitable Men these men have become Red Pill staples for a couple of years for me now. I wont spoil the interview for you, but Mark is a master of digging through my backlog of posts and hitting me with some unexpected and fresh questions. We get back to red pill 101 covering topics like Buffers and abundance. It’s about two solid hours of great Red Pill fundamentals.

Have a listen here.

Next up, I did an interview with entrepreneur, and fellow 21 Convention speaker, Richard Cooper about 3 weeks ago.

Richard hit me up almost a couple of months prior to this after making a hard Red Pill unplugging himself and made my books the focus of that in one of his YouTube videos. I’ll have to say Richard’s interview style is very personal and I get into some personal background with him here. I generally try to stay on Red Pill point, but Richard likes to dig deep here. Be forewarned, I was coming back from some allergies and using Skype from my laptop for this, so if the audio’s not great, hopefully the content is worth it. After this interview and looking into Richard’s other videos I suggested to Anthony Johnson that he’d be a good inclusion at the 21 Convention and I’m happy to say he’s onboard for this year.

And finally, Anthony from the 21 Convention has remastered the audio from our interview from last week, complete with show notes and links. You can listen here.

Hopefully that’s not too much of my voice for the weekend. For what it’s worth, I’m toying with the idea of starting a YouTube channel myself, but I’m not sure my schedule these days would make it anything more than an occasional thing. But, let me know if you think that might be a good idea.

Also, let me know if you have any questions about anything I cover in these, or feel free to start a discussion thread about any topic from these interviews.

What the novice misses when they refer to ‘ bad boy ‘ are what are the qualities and mechanisms at play with regards to how and why women find these types attractive. Peel back the layers of the onion.

One can embody bad boy without breaking any laws or destroying property, lol,.

Anyone can develop the mindset without the attending negative repercussions usually associated. Women can’t tell any difference. They only hear their emotions and hindbrain spikes.

Guys should never volunteer themselves in service of broken broads,

Years ago I decided that I didn’t want to be around any “Kit: Some assembly required” type women who were looking to be compleeeeted. Because there’s always baggage they ain’t talking about, and there’s always some pieces missing from the kit. It comes down to “how much energy should a man expend in daily relationship maintenance”, and “all you got” is not the right answer.

Who has time to read all the different blogers and writers even thow they are all good. In your interview you stated that a man that goes red pill is actually going mgtow.

Any paradox or irony is such simply because actual conditions contradict expectations or perceptions that do not align with reality.

Men are superior to women only in ways they can serve women better than women can serve themselves. This is the way we and all other sexually dimorphic species are formed.

FR that doesn’t belong in Field Reports: This morning I had my way with women by excluding them from my house. I spent some time practicing shoulder-sight-dry fire, with TRM up on the computer in the background. Then I went out and found a woman and acquired her gathering of eggs. That was also having my way with her. Gathering eggs for me is all I desired of her.

In the link referenced by you: Why An Alpha Female Is The Best Girlfriend You’ll Ever Have By Andrea Wesley. I’d highly suspect a 31 year old freelance writer living in the suburbs of Vancouver, Canada would be an Unreliable Narrator. And Make Shit Up. (For no other reason than: needs a paycheck and wants to put writing skills to work.)

And that Alpha Female fiction story was already written by Gillian Flynn in Gone Girl. I wouldn’t suspect the non-fiction plot story would turn out well.

@SJF And Game is actually social tool making. People with autism have to work continually on developing social skills. Improving their Game. Likely, the same goes for neurotypicals (NTs) as well. Young autists need mentors and friends who know what to do if autistic men are to successfully reproduce. Men especially. I’m unusual in that I’m both autistic AND a natural (to some degree, lol). However, Red Pill understanding would be a major benefit to autistic men in helping them reproduce and become more financially successful. Mentors can help other men develop their own social tools.

“In it’s current form MGTOW is a flawed doctrine.” Can you quote from the doctrine? From the original manifesto: “By instilling masculinity in men, we make men self-reliant, proud, and independent. By instilling femininity in women, we make them nurturing, supporting, and responsible.” Of course that is MGTOW 1.0. In MGTOW 2.0 it is generally held that the environment has changed too much for the original manifesto to be relevant. Men being self-reliant, proud and independent remains, however. At its core MGTOW is simply men maintaining themselves as their own mental point of reference. As a corollary it required self-reliance… Read more »
