What if I told you that you as a modern man have become more weak, more fragile, less

effective, less competent, because modern society and modern culture has encouraged you to

forget this one skill that every single man throughout human history

has known is incredibly valuable and important. And what if I told you that modern culture and

society in many ways has been shaped to disincentivize you from developing this skill. The truth, as I can see it, is that

modern men have become so complacent, so lost because they've been missing this valuable skill.

And this skill without it makes us more fragile, makes us more receptive to control and to

manipulation, less receptive to standing up for ourselves.

It causes you to want to ignore your own values, your own ethics, your own morals, or to be able

to stand up to those who are causing a disruption to the values and the ethics and the morals

of a culture and of a society. The simple skill that I'm talking about

is your ability to mobilize, your ability to kinetically mobilize yourself and the people and specifically

the men around you towards something meaningful, something purposeful, and something that's going to create change.

The truth that we know about the human species and about the human race in many ways

is that it is in some parts a story about men mobilizing towards creating change. Men mobilizing towards creating new tools,

new structures, new architectures, new forms of cities, new, you know, mobilizing towards new

forms of political outcomes, men mobilizing to gather together to think about how life as a human being could be,

mobilizing together to battle out ideas. But this ability to mobilize as a man has become lost.

Most men can't mobilize themselves to get the fuck off of their couch for long enough to go and

clean up their kitchen or go to the gym or do a workout or go to work or mobilize themselves to

building a family or a product or a service or mobilize the men around them enough to gather

so that men aren't so lost and alone and isolated.
