We struggle to understand our true purpose in life, our mission. It happens to the best of us, and it can result […]

This podcast is all about how we avoid the stupidity and nonsense of “New Year’s Resolutions”, and instead focus on building life-affirming, results-building, course-sustaining habits that get us to our chosen destinations. I lay […]

We can hardly be blamed for this, given how absurd the whole thing is. As far as I can tell, that entire scene consists of roided-out meatheads pretending they are natural (or “natty”, as the kids these days […]

Most of you have probably never heard of a guy named Dr. Mike Israetel, who runs a YouTube channel called “Renaissance Perioditization”, or something like that.

In this instalment, our friend analyses the archetypes of the socio-sexual hierarchy by looking at past (and one present) historical figures. The analysis and key lessons he presents below […]
