Eduardo your reading comprehension is sorely lacking if you think Vox Day is part of a manosphere that says be alpha or be nothing.

As to hard times sometimes they can end up your best times. I got both my wife and my current job by being fired and taking a very low paying summer job with a good friend.

Amen, Reverend.

Ask Larry Bird how he got to be so good at basketball and he'll probably say something like "I practiced shooting every day". Bull. Shit. You forgot to mention you were also 6'8", had superior athletic ability from a young age and had elite coaching and teammates. *Then* you practiced shooting ever day. Joe Average cannot take his advice and make a run at the NBA with it.

Likewise for these "pull yourself up by the bootstraps!" and "be alpha!" clowns. Or the guys who say "find out what you want to do at 17 and work 100 hours a week until they make you CEO" types. Or Vox Day, with his 140+ IQ and other advantages. They might be right about certain things, and often are. But it's not going to be replecable.

What hope does a man have if he's not apex alpha? If he didn't figure out what he wanted to do until his late 20s? Or worse, 30s? What if he cannot have children? Or any of the other calamities that befall men? Answer: hope is found in the Lord, in your family and your community. And nowhere else. The biggest mistake the Manosphere ever made was to tell men "if you ain't alpha, you ain't shit". Because a lot of men took a look at themselves, did the math, realized they couldn't be that, and quit. Then we called them losers and slackers, and bid them good riddance. We did those men dirty. And it's time to come clean.

I don't have Vox's IQ. I don't have Milo's charm or Owen's wit. I don't even have Didact's international mobility. My woman and I may not be able to have children, through no fault of our own. But we're not nobodies in God's eye. We will all be judged the same, and I have my work to do just as you have yours. God's plan isn't "be alpha or bust". It's available to all. If only we will remind each other and hold each other up, and do His will, nothing is hopeless. The mountain will move for you. That's why we're here.
