All those steps to self improvement are because we care. And there won't always be a SEA to run to, this new paradigm is just getting started.
There was a time when men were feared. The only reason the Spartans trained and developed their martial culture was so that they could quell any uprising by their helots, implying the masters still had some fear of their slaves. Todays man doesn't inspire this same worry. The men people are "afraid" of today are not intimidating in the same sense; the hopped-up druggie or school-shooter incel doesn't represent the same internal threat as a Spartacus. And there's no external thread like Attila or Chinggis Khan. Men's individual power has been erased as they've been incorporated as drones into post-industrial civilization. What I'm wondering is if there's some synthesis between the men of old and the modern age.
