Uncompromising Self-Improvement Megathread

As society has gotten more comfortable, it has began imploding.

Decade after decade, the age of mental masculinity has increased until its current point where some men die still as boys.

To improve means to fight against it.

But how?

1.) Health

Stop buying fast food
Eat nothing with added sugar
Stop drinking sodas and juices
Drink water or coffee/tea with no sugar

Buy your foods locally.

Meats, fruits, and vegetables should all be bought from local farmers.

This is for both health and economy.

Our diet, lack of sunlight, and easy lifestyle has led to:

Cancer
Obesity
Heart Disease
Lower testosterone
Lower sperm count

Get more sunlight, exercise, eat healthier, eat less sugar.

A good way to achieve many of these would be to grow your own fruits and vegetables.

Through this you can ensure the avoidance of pesticides and plastics.

You will also get sunlight and exercise as you till the soil, the same as your ancestors did.

2.) Exercise

Get a gym membership or buy equipment

You don't need anything fancy, so don't waste all your money on equipment or expensive gyms.

Machines are not necessary. All you need is an iron bar and some weights.

Even no equipment and just your body weight works fine.

Stick with compound lifts. These are the types of exercises you will do with a barbell.

Squats
Deadlifts
Bench Press
Overhead Press

If you don't have equipment, you can do this with your own body.

Run
Jump
Pull-ups
Push-ups
Air Squats

Supplements are largely unnecessary.

Your goal should be to get your daily protein and calories from real food, not powders.

Fix your posture. Good posture is the sign of a confident man.

Learn to fight.

Every man should know how to defend himself. Nobody respects a weakling and these skills can be used to save your life or the life of those you love.

Boxing
Jiu Jitsu
Wrestling
Muay Thai

Learn to use a weapon.

You don't need to become a sharpshooting expert,

But learn how to hit what you aim at and become confident enough that you can defend your home.

Learn to hunt, like your ancestors.

There is a spiritual connection that man has with animal.

Honor it.

3.) Porn

STOP WATCHING PORN

Porn destroys your mind and your sexual energy.

Learn to sublimate this energy into productive activities.

Lift
Read
Write
Meditate

Porn is a slope into degeneracy. Your addiction will only get worse and the porn more destructive of the soul.

4.) Education

Read
Listen to podcasts
Watch videos that teach skills

Read philosophy and learn masculine skills.

Find material that checks your intellectual temperature.

Read hard material and material that challenges your views.

4a.) List of high-T hobbies:

Chess
Lifting
Sailing
Boxing
Archery
Hunting
Reading
Smithing
Shooting
Metalwork
Martial arts
Woodworking
Mechanical work
Mountain climbing
Learning a language
Learning an instrument

4b.) Philosophy

Read philosophers throughout history. You won't agree with all of them, which is fine.

This will help you find your own values, rather than blindly believing what you are told.

Aristotle
Plato
Confucius
Descartes
Hume
Kant
Locke
Machiavelli
Nietzsche
Rousseau

5.) Appearance

Once you've hardened the body and sharpened the mind, you can focus on your appearance.

Be polite
Speak clearly
Trim or shave your beard
Go to a barber and get a proper haircut
Get a job that improves those around you
Build your connection with your community

The Last Men of Democracy are weak men that will not seek to improve themselves.

Embrace your physical and intellectual masculinity.

Society glitters like gold, but it is fool's gold as a reward for a fool's game.

The only way to achieve true abundance is to forgo comfort.
