The distilled expertise of the 20th century is: Experts know better than me, they know more than my neighbors, they’re smarter than my ancestors.
We even need an expert to tell us how to interact with the sun, must have SPF50 and limit exposure to 2 hours per week or disaster will result! Our ancestors must have been dying of skin cancer left and right. Such foolish savages.
Low men accept this reality as their own.
Low men who think of themselves as high men, they pretend that burying the bad emotions that arise from being taught lifeless propaganda is how strong men should behave. Be stoic! Just carry on.
Ancestral Filters
Our ancestors fought against obstacles like Mongol hordes, Viking raiders, diseases that killed off 90% of the population, they survived massive floods and magnetic reversals that shifted the continents around.
Yet your ancestors won every time. How do we know this?
Because you’re here — your ancestors fathered children, those children had children, and eventually one of them gave birth to you.
Living a Lie
Those who aspire to be high men, men of character and passion and creativity and vitality, they see this schlerotic state as something to be overcome. Laughed at. Given no power.
Because accepting the state of the world for what it is would be living a lie. It would be denying that which makes us men.
Men see obstacles to their goals and they overcome them, through elevated actions of free will. Higher men overcome themselves and then they create, they repair, they build, they do.
Overcoming
The cult of expertise can be overcome, no matter how large and impossible the odds may seem. Why? And how?
Because we are the children of the survivors, the ones who won against impossible challenge after impossible challenge.
We honor their memory and name when we face the future with an open embrace, with joy at a new challenge to overcome.
We overcome lifeless propaganda the same way our ancestors overcame floods and famines and arrows, by doing. By acting. By not calculating the odds because they’re irrelevant.
