Evolutionary bullshit most likely

Why would anyone buy this book, why, why, why?

What have you done OP? Who told you to do this?

Thelf help.

>>12078590
I always wanted to dominate and unleash the animal inside me to live a life health, wealth and freedom and this book happened to look like a good place to start.

>>12078572
>What am I in for?
douchebaggery and fuckstickhood.

Being socially timid [you appreciate and grasp the depth of consciousness in others] and temperamentally meek [you would rather just get along] are very positive traits, as long as they dont lead to a nasty and festering insecurity.

>>12078572
Yet another self-help book.

imo just skip straight to bronze age mindset

>>12078572
Self help is such a joke. You want health? Go to the gym and eat more vegetables. Drink some fucking water and go to bed at a decent hour. You want wealth? Acquire a skill that society values and practice it. There, I just saved you hundreds of dollars you would have wasted on books, tapes, seminars, and apps.

>>12078572
You know the opposite of getting laid?
Yeah, that.

>>12078572
This book changed my life, I'm gaming 10's by phone and earning 25k/month from crypto now.

>>12078572
What even is it? I've heard of it so often but have literally no idea what it's about. I always assumed it was some bottom-of-the-barrel Trump election cash-grab about pepe memes.

>>12078572
>written by a lispy beta who's henpecked by his sand-nigger wife.
You're in for irony.

Shut up faggot.

>>12078597
Read Marcus Aurelius and Epictetus. Stoicism is the only self help that isn't bullshit.

>>12078572
Sounds like chimp mindset. Gorillas are peaceful and primitive in comparison.

>>12078597
the guy who wrote it has a double chin and several failed marriages and all his wives are munters, why would you listen to advice made up by a person who can't do what they're telling you how to do

>>12080394
this made me kek, get rekt OP

>>12080394
>le do as you preach meme
being a bad practitioner doesn't mean you can't be a good theorist. most successful sports coaches are failed players.

>>12079427
>>12078637
He's right but with the addition that you should along with these traits be decisive, willing to take action when necessary, and physically fit.

>>12080408
yeah lad why not just hire people in wheelchairs as running coaches

he isn't a failed player he's someone who's never even stepped on the field

>>12080415
But being fit isn't cute.

>>12080394
>his wives are munters

>>12080428
you cannot think she's attractive

>>12080432
Hormones fuck people's standards.
>>12080428
>people listen to this dude's advice

>>12080432
you cannot say you wouldn't fuck her

>>12080436
I have a gf and even if I didn't club thots are more attractive than her

>>12080432
i definitely do because im not a numb dicked incel only able to get off on the bland, featureless "beauty" you probably think constitutes an ideal form of woman

>>12080440
this entire post screams 30 year old virgin lad

be sure to read it in public, so everyone knows your "power level"

>What am I in for?
>let’s ask jaded anons who haven’t read it. On 4chan.

The Internet makes no sense

>>12078685
Oh shit, thanks anon

>>12080480
the entire thread was bait. 4chan is the gutter.

>>12078572
>Taking advice from a lispy retard with delusions of grandeur.

>>12080454
>You may not like it but this is what peak masculinity looks like

>>12080444
More like fatass roastie from Tumblr.

>>12080492
Oh no, a thread I don't like, this truly is the end of 4chinks.

>>12078957
i looked into it and it's completely generic self-help shit with some reheated horseshit about reason vs emotion and how to talk to yourself in the mirror to be successful. straight-up pixar-level "just believe in yourself" shit except he has some invented terminology so instead of "just believe in yourself" he can write "just adopt an abundance mindset" and that sounds impressive if you're an idiot i guess.

If you're a male those traits make you a darwinian dead end.

>>12080771
The goal of every living being is immortality, breeding is lying to yourself, your offspring is not you, we all failed already since we weren't born in a time meat portal have invented a way to live forever yet, the only way now is hedonism.

>>12080795
The goal of every living thing is reproduction, anything else is just a cope.

>>12080800
Why is that the goal ?

>>12080806
Because that's what your DNA literally dictates you to do.

>>12078637
>the depth of consciousness in others

things that don't exist

>>12080814
And why your DNA dictates you that ?

>>12080831
Are you playing stupid in hopes of appearing smart?

>>12080814
weird how every womans DNA is the reason you're a virgin

>>12080880
>because that's what your dna literally dictates you to do

You are in for a big waste of money.

>>12080893
>And why your DNA dictates you that ?

>>12080771
Actually empathy is clearly advantageous if it helps the group survive. And plenty of studies that positive effects it has on well-being and relationships.

You're also assuming that our living conditions are the same as our distant ancestors. The kind of competition for resources that hunter-gathers engaged in doesn't really exist anymore, except in the most impoverished nations.

>>12080814
Ah yes, the classic pseud argument. Google the naturalistic fallacy.

>>12080800
you haven't thought this through. there are no "goals" in biological evolution, your body has no goal, your genes have no goal, things just happen and nothing that happens is in any way better or worse than anything else that might have happened instead. you can't say of reproduction that it's "good", only that it allows for further reproduction which allows for further reproduction and so on. it's not "better" for a species to spread than to die out, a teeming jungle is not "better" than a wasteland, these are just things that might occur in a meaningless series of physical interactions that allows no basis for any kind of judgement, only measurement. you can't examine human affairs from a physicalist perspective that admits no system of values and simultaneously retain the ability to judge them.

rationalwikiposting is still shitposting, even if done ironically.

I don't think anon is making a case of what we should do, just what humans do

who said i believe in any of it? it's just what any wannabe social darwinist would have to conclude if they actually took their worldview seriously.

>>12080468
>All wearing cargos

What did he mean by this?

>>12080423
Being fit is cute. Being a hunk is handsome.

>>12081132
Please stop being a faggot here.

So, do you dominate or unleash the inner animal?
