I wondered about sending this email out — after all, any association with Bronze Age Pervert (BAP) — the “fascist, steppe barbarian, nudist bodybuilding” leader of Frogtwitter — has tons of risk and very little reward.
But I’m a curious guy, and we explore all sorts of ideas here.
Also: I do not give a shit.
His Twitter account is fascinating and though others may not admit it, they feel the same.
Whether you agree with him or not (and it’s tough to agree with everything he says) he stands out.
You can’t say he’s boring.
Which is why I got his book.
I was interested in what a guy who is known mostly for two things — calling people who frequent wine bars with their girlfriend (such as yours truly) “GAY”, and posting naked images of fit men every Thursday — had to think about the world we live in.
I was pleasantly surprised.
In fact, I was blown away.
His book is a philosophical treatise on the caliber of any great Renaissance writer, and I have no question it will become a reference point in the current zeitgeist shift.
That’s not to say the book, “Bronze Age Mindset” is for most people. It’s not. Though the tone is even, the material is very controversial — pretty much all conventional modes of thinking across the spectrum are attacked.
But it’s an eloquent stream of consciousness, worth checking out for those of you who ponder the big questions.
Here’s an affiliate link where you can net me $2 or something.
At any rate… wanted to share with you one theme from the book I found relevant to you guys.
The idea of space.
That men today are spiritually castrated because men seek space to expand into — and in the modern age, all the domains are already controlled.
There is no true frontier to push onto.
No chance for us to prove ourselves, and master our innate skills.
To return to an unconscious state of nature.
This speaks to me as mostly correct — though it’s obvious BAP is a romantic at heart.
As a man, you need something to move you. A spirit to propel you forward.
This is what women sense in a man that intoxicates them with desire.
“Stability” is an afterthought and “game” is a cheap imitation.
They want a man who conquers the unknown.
Indeed, I would venture this is the thread that ties adventures and artists together.
They both explore what others haven’t seen. The adventurer, the physical / external; the artist, the psychological / internal.
If you’re like most guys today, however, you probably are lacking that spirit.
You’re “going through the emotions” — escaping through porn, drugs, video games, drone work or one of the other myriad escapes provided for us.
I admit to falling down this trap on occasion myself.
It’s a deep conditioning, reinforced everywhere. It’s hard to eliminate.
But eliminate it you must.
Cause here’s the thing…
If you don’t have your energy right, nothing else you do with women will work.
We’ll talk more about that tomorrow.
But if you like my energy, you should work with me: www.patstedman.com/application
It’s the best way to shift your own…
