Something I’m deeply concerned about is the rapid deterioration of the modern brain.
For those of you who have ever spent 12 hours a day engaged in arduous physical labour, with no phone in sight, you can attest to the level of profundity and quality of thought your mind is able to naturally conjure with relatively little effort. Crystal clarity and laser precision, the most brilliant ideas bubble to the surface of your conscious mind with ease.
~ this was the natural state of man for thousands of years ~
We are getting dumber.
Primarily at fault are the three following causes.
1) attention spans
I needn’t go into how TikTok and social media is absolutely skullfucking our ability to concentrate upon a singular object, conditioning our minds to occupy our focus only toward that which is immediately stimulating and abundant in dopamine.
You must train yourself out of this, or entropy and the path of least resistance will eat your brain alive. Read books. Paper books. Train yourself to re-develop the attention span you once had, and then surpass it.
2) we are distracted and occupied
Remember when people posted their Spotify wrapped? I couldn’t believe some of the numbers people were logging. I frequently saw people post “You listened to (number above 65,000 minutes)”
That’s 3 hours per day. That is neurosis. That is somebody so deathly afraid of confronting their own thoughts that they feel it necessary to drown out all possibility of a thought ever occurring.
What are you focused on? What are you trying to achieve? Do you even have goals? Are they sincere, in which you genuinely pursue them on a daily basis with a fervent and resolute determination? How much BULLSHIT are you clogging your mind with? Honestly.
I’ve said this over and over again:
Silence is where genius resides.
Your BEST thoughts and ideas will come to you in the shower, while driving, while going for a walk. GO FOR MORE WALKS. WITHOUT MUSIC. You will be blown away at what “you” can come up with when you give your brain a chance to breathe, rather than drowning out your thoughts at every opportunity with music, the latest podcast, whatever.
Organise your thoughts. Write down the good ones or else you WILL lose them. Your mind can only hold onto so much at any one time. Journaling is not gay. Reflection develops consciousness and self-awareness. Start now.
3) if you don’t use it, you lose it
It is my recommendation that you use your brain whenever possible, rather than technology. Do not use a calculator to solve equations you can do in your head. Actively train memory recall. Commit phone numbers to memory. Songs. Poems. Anything. Just train your ability to store information - it’s a muscle and can be improved immensely.
Develop your vocabulary. Compose artworks. Read poems from centuries ago, they feel like they come from an alien world, written in a foreign language. Look at Harvard entrance exams of early 1900s. We are dead fucking stupid compared to the standards we once held.
It’s not all bad though.
Look at the bright side: it’s never been easier to stand out. A developed mind, ripe in the cultivation of all its faculties, has never been this impressive.
Get to work.
Resist having a lazy brain. TRAIN IT. IN ALL WAYS.

People struggle to get the life they want because they look down on the simple, plain, "boring" things.
They can't eat the same nutritious meals every day, they can't stick to the same tough workouts for many years, they can't commit to their investments, or their spouse, or their goals, they can't sit down and read a book, or learn a foreign language, or self-reflect and work out their problems, they prefer to outsource their thinking, they trust (then blame) the government, the media, the "experts," they take no responsibility for where they are in life, because that's so much easier to believe that nothing is your fault.

Casual sex is psyop.
This may seem controversial, but I told my 16-year-old little brother that he should avoid having sex at all costs.
Sexual promiscuity leads to psychological trauma, divorce, and objectification of women.
Here are 5 reasons you should stop having casual sex right now:
1. Staying in the wrong relationship
I admitted to my little brother that sex blinded my judgment and decision making in the past.
After orgasm, levels of vasopressin rise in men, and levels of oxytocin rise in women. These are the "attachment hormones".
Constantly feeling attached to someone via sex makes it easy to overlook red flags in your relationship.
Get to know a person's values, worldview, and habits before you even consider engaging in sex with them.
2. Psychological trauma
The American Psychological Association conducted a study where 82.6% of college students engaging in hook-up culture reported negative mental and emotional consequences including embarrassment, loss of respect, and difficulties with maintaining steady relationships.
And, those were just the ones who were being honest.
We should teach the younger generation to take sex more seriously.
3. Diminishing returns of spiritual and physical satisfaction
I was at a networking event and overheard this guy saying “Sex with hot women gets boring. Now, I have to fake orgasms during sex, then go in the shower and masturbate afterward.”
This guy was also kind of a geek and admitted to watching pornography at least once a day.
His mind became so numb to sexual stimulation that he couldn't even orgasm during intercourse with a woman.
Sexual stimulation can be like a drug. You always need more to get the same high.
4. Unwanted sexual encounters
The American Psychological Association also conducted a survey where people reported that 77.8% of unwanted sexual encounters took place in the context of hookups.
Casual sex with people you don’t know or trust makes it more likely for you to be pressured, tricked, or forced into sex, even if it’s done in a non-physical way.
With an activity as consequential as sex - make sure you trust the person with your life.
5. Objectification of women
Objectification of women is when you put your desire for sex over the condition of a woman's heart.
If you’re willing to have sex with a woman without committing to protect and provide for that woman physically and spiritually, you've objectified her.
I believe objectification of women is one of the primary forces driving tragedies like sex trafficking and child pornography.
To men who value getting off more than they value the condition of a woman's heart: If you wouldn't want a man to do that to your daughter, stop doing it to women.
Before I wrap up, I know I’m going to get a ton of hate from sexually promiscuous women pushing the idea of “sexual liberation”.
And, even more hate from Red Pill Pick Up Artist dudes selling dating advice or promoting pornography.
But, I challenge both groups to look around at society and honesty ask themselves one question:
With rising rates of mental health disorders, sex trafficking, and the explosion of the gender identity crisis, do you honestly think your ideals are helping society? Or are they adding to the problem?
I understand that I’ll be called an overly religious prude.
I understand that coming from a 20-something-year-old dude - these opinions are unpopular…
But, I’m sharing this message because I’ve experienced the soul torment that comes from not taking sex seriously. I believe that not taking sex seriously will lead to soul tournament either in this life or after this life.
And, I’ve also experienced the freedom from reserving sex for where it belongs: In the confines of marriage under the eyes of God.
Now, I’m NOT saying that sexual desire doesn’t exist.
I am a man. With raging testosterone.
God designed our bodies and hormones to drive us to be fruitful and multiply.
And, he made women perfect, of our own flesh and blood, in the image of God. We are supposed to desire women and sex.
And, I believe holy sexual desire for women honors God and serves women.
But, we are not meant to put our sexual desire over our values and convictions. Or, over the spiritual safety of our women.
