Episode 52 - Hacking Your Health: From Smart Drugs to Tantric Triumphs - Jonathan Roseland

In this conversation, Kevin Davis interviews Jonathan Roseland, a biohacker and nootropics enthusiast. They discuss various topics related to biohacking, including technology, brain training, and the use of nootropics. Jonathan shares his personal journey into biohacking and how it has transformed his life. He also provides recommendations for specific biohacking practices, such as red light therapy and adaptogenic herbs. 

The conversation concludes with Jonathan offering suggestions for a 50-year-old individual looking to optimize their physical, emotional, and mental well-being. In this conversation, the based biohacker discusses various topics related to nootropics, eye health, and the state of manhood. He introduces Paracetam, a smart drug that improves focus, energy, and memory. He recommends racetams and adaptogens as effective nootropics. 

The conversation also covers the use of nicotine as a smart drug and the importance of eye health, including the use of blue light blockers and mitochondrial eye drops. The based biohacker also touches on the benefits of tantric techniques and concludes by highlighting why he believes it is the best time to be a man.

• Paracetam is a smart drug that improves focus, energy, and memory.
• Racetams and adaptogens are effective nootropics for cognitive enhancement.
• Nicotine can be used as a smart drug for creativity, but caution should be exercised due to its addictive nature.
• Blue light blockers and mitochondrial eye drops can help improve eye health.
• Tantric techniques can enhance intimacy and provide a full-body orgasm experience.
• Despite the challenges of modern society, it is the best time to be a man due to the freedom to architect one's own life and the availability of knowledge and tools for personal transformation.

Welcome to maxed out man helping you
0:06
become the man you were made to be hey guys this is Kevin Davis from the
0:11
max out man podcast this is episode number 52 I'm here today with Jonathan Rosland who is an adventuring
0:17
philosopher pumpish pontificator writer K selected biohacker tantrick husband
0:23
rack andour I don't know if that's the right way to say that and smart drug dealer so Jonathan and I connected a
0:29
little bit ago I'm super excited to have him here talking about biohacking and neut tropics and a ton of different
0:35
stuff make sure you stick around towards the end of the podcast because Jonathan has some great information uh and some
0:41
thoughts on kind of why now is the best time to be a man which is you know exactly why we're here so hey Jonathan
0:47
thanks so much for joining me man I appreciate it sure thing sure thing I was today just uh listening to a bunch
0:55
of your different podcasts and the uh the uh diie the diversity Equity
1:02
inclusion guy he didn't quite sell me he didn't quite sell me whatever he was whatever he was selling I kind of picked
1:08
up on the I kind of picked up on the belonging part of that you know the the belonging part of it seemed seemed to
1:14
resonate with me but yeah that was a that was an interesting thing for me and I think I said in the podcast these a
1:19
lot of these conversations I mean just like you we're sitting here talking about biohacking and and the like you're
1:25
in the Balkans I'm in the middle of Montana in rural Montana so like we're
1:30
we're you know these are great conversations to have and learn from each other I think but uh yeah so thanks
1:35
thanks for coming why don't you give us kind of your background I always like to set the stage with these podcasts on who
1:41
it is we're talking to so that then we you know not from a credibility standpoint just from a basic interest
1:47
standpoint sure so about biohacking this is something that I have
1:54
been traveling down the path of obsession towards the Palace of wisdom
2:03
for about 12 years now and what first
2:09
really grabbed my attention with this was a gray
2:17
Maserati and it it was in the movie Limitless with Bradley Cooper do you
2:24
remember that movie I do remember that movie I watched it again not too long ago I'm basically obsessed with any movie I don't typically watch many
2:31
movies after like 2010 so I go back and watch all these watch all these older movies and I that Limitless may have
2:38
been more recent than that but anyway black uh gray Maserati and that gray
2:44
Maserati I used to drive that car uh a long long time ago I got myself
2:52
into kind of this insane situation with a startup company with this I got
3:00
involved with the entertainment business and I met this kind of crazy guy and
3:06
then he met this older finer who had
3:12
multiple personality disassociative disorder and so he was very wealthy and
3:20
unhinged which made for a really crazy uh little episode of my of my life and
3:30
we ended up purchasing a brand new gray Maserati Grand Turismo with a red
3:37
leather seats oh that was a sexy car yeah with and that was uh that was my
3:43
car for a little while and then this whole company melted down and I ended up
Biohacking and Nootropics
3:51
living back at Mom's house and someone my sister showed me the trailer of the
3:59
Limitless movie which features that car and I said okay I I I must watch this
4:07
movie and in the movie he takes this clear pill
4:13
nzt48 and it just unlocks every recess of his
4:20
mind and his memory and his cognitive capabilities and he experiences this
4:28
rapid trans transformation and I watched that movie and I said there has got to
4:34
be some there's got to be something out there the pharmaceutical world that
4:41
approaches that and I have to find it and since then I've
4:49
experimented uh yeah that was about 12 years ago so I've experimented very
4:55
thoroughly with over 200 different smart drug drugs and neut tropics and it's
5:03
taken me on uh on a pretty wild Odyssey of becoming a digital Nomad and living
5:13
in six or seven different countries now and it's toen me also through this uh
5:23
ideological philosophical Journey as well of uh of kind of being kind of a a
5:31
scumbag uh promiscuous kind of guy an agnostic and atheist uh to eventually
5:38
now uh and now I'm a family man and a Christian and the the uh all the
5:46
biohacking things that I've done all of those smart drugs and a bunch of other things that I've experimented with have
5:55
uh drawn me to uh a to to a place in life that that I feel like I'm really
6:02
well aligned with my uh deep uh principles and with the way that I live
6:08
my life on a daytoday basis and so that's why I call myself the internet's
6:15
smart drug dealer uh because I think it is one of these things that can have a
6:22
multi multiplicative uh effect of giving us the the the power and the motivation
6:30
and the focus that we need to become the men that we are called to
6:38
be that's awesome so you I mean you went so through that journey of doing um
6:44
learning how to do biohacking that actually now is that like um you know because different people talk about neut
6:50
tropics and psychedelics and those kind of things that kind of open their mind and lead them towards you know more
6:56
Enlightenment and some of those kind I'm a Christian as well so I'm not like I'm I tend to lean away from the what I call
7:02
the woowoo but they talk about you know psychedelics and those kind of things is that kind of part of that journey and
7:08
how that went okay I did psychedelics Once in a
7:16
ceremony in the Andes mountains and it was a an experience that I don't regret
7:25
there was uh it was an interesting cultural experience but it resulted in
7:32
zero helpful epiphanies for me there was a little bit of a pretty geometric
7:40
hallucinatory light show that It produced on the back of my
7:45
eyelids but um yeah things like uh things like meditation and reading good
7:53
books and some uh transformative uh meditation techniques
8:00
that I've used have been uh yeah there's been there's been no comparison so I'm
8:06
actually I'm not that big of a fan of
8:12
psychedelics as a transformative tool they uh Joe Rogan did a tremendous job
8:20
of popularizing psychedelics but there's I
8:26
I looked after after I did my iasa TR I I looked more deeply into the science on
8:33
it and psychedelics do hack your personality um and not just when you are
8:41
on the psychedelics what they do uh and this was according to uh study out of
8:47
Barcelona is they they increase the personality trait of openness which is
8:55
sort of a good thing of being open to new things and people and experiences
9:02
but what they also do is they decrease uh risk aversion pretty
9:10
dramatically in your personality and that's even after you go off of them and
9:16
so to me that kind of seems like a bad combination of D of increasing openness
9:24
and risk-taking but then decreasing risk assessment
9:29
capability so psychedelics are really far from the list of things that I
9:36
recommend to people when they're looking at the the huge array of
9:42
transformational tools that are out there yeah I'm not sure that I would recommend someone being super open to
9:47
new experiences with that with very little risk aversion that's a good way to end up with no parachute jumping out
9:52
of an airplane just to see what happens yeah yeah um so
9:59
can you just take a step back and just Define what biohacking is that's you
10:05
know people are using as a bu term I've heard you know a bunch of different people are talk talking about it
10:11
including uh Rogan a little bit but he doesn't actually use that phrase very often um he talks a lot about neut
10:17
tropics and obviously he has his own sets and all that kind of stuff but can you give us just I don't really even
10:23
understand the concept of biohacking so can you kind of give us that and talk as long as you want I would you know give
10:28
me the full give me the full monty on that sure so the definition that Dave
10:36
asy gave it is that a hacker is someone that seeks to control whatever system
10:44
they are dealing with typically a technological computer system but it can
10:49
also be a social system so a biohacker
10:55
seeks to control the the Myriad layers of their
11:02
biology and there's a bunch of different tools that are used for this so there's
11:10
the things that are kind of obvious which is a diet and exercise and most of
11:20
your listeners are probably already well on their way towards uh diet
11:26
optimization and optimiz ing uh a way in which they are disciplining their body
11:35
and that is of course a a major hack for
11:40
for brain power for neuroplasticity for the capacity of the mind to make new
11:46
connections so that you can acquire uh new skills better and of course exercise
11:52
is also a major longevity hack and I know that you have been uh a passionate
12:00
weightlifter for decades and decades and decades and that that shows in your
12:06
physique and in your uh what what people would perceive as like as like your age
12:12
you look pretty good for 51 I think you said yeah yeah just turn 51 so so
12:18
there's those things that are more obvious diet exercise uh trying to
12:24
mitigate the toxins that you are that that you are consuming and then there's
12:31
a then there's a whole array of tools that are that are On The Fringe that are
12:37
not like in the mainstream and so that would be all the
12:43
different Tech that is out there and I've experimented with quite a bit of
12:48
the tech and some of it is pretty gimmicky but some of it really does make
12:55
a pretty big difference people are seeing my room glowing red and that is
13:03
from the Red Light lamp that we use and
13:08
red light therapy devices are an incredible that they're they're an
13:14
incredible therapy tool because they feed the
13:20
ATP energy generation process in your mitochondria they feed that a little bit
13:27
of extra fuel so doing uh 10 or 20
13:33
minutes of red light therapy a day just feeds your body a little bit more so
13:39
that there at that fundamental energy generation level your body can do more
13:45
of what it is supposed to do so we use this one as a lamp in the evenings
13:54
because the red light doesn't interrupt our circadian Rhythm so it results in it
14:00
results in just a whole lot better sleep to use it as a lamp and then I have
14:08
another device that I use that will wrap around my body that one's called the
Biohacking Technologies
14:13
flexi beam and actually all of these things I'm going to have on a page on my
14:20
website it's going to be Limitless mindset.com back slash maxed out yeah so
14:26
okay yeah people can find all that stuff there um but yeah so I use another red light therapy device and I will I'll use
14:35
it on my body after a workout for
14:40
Recovery I will use it on my hands because I'm an IT nerd so I'm using my
14:47
hands all day long and so I'll use it on my hands to keep carpal tunnel at Bay um
14:55
anytime I got like a little little bit of pain thing or a little bit of niggling something going on in my body I
15:03
will I will use it there and then red light as you've probably heard of you
15:09
use it on your balls you you sit on the red light therapy device and you give
15:16
your balls anywhere between a couple minutes to maybe up to about 10 minutes
15:22
because you don't want them to get too hot of red light therapy and this is
15:27
going to boost testosterone along with along with a lot
15:32
of guys report that it's like a it's like a sex hack that um in that like
15:37
increases pleasure I haven't found that quite so much but yeah that's like uh
15:44
that's an application of red light therapy so is that one is that would that one be you know there's there's the
15:50
kind of the the guys that sun their perineum and those kind of things and get that UVA UVB directly from the Sun
15:57
is that is that an equivalent or it's a completely different wavelength um of red light my wife just
16:04
just she uses like what looks like do you remember the The Man in the Iron Mask she has a mask one that that
16:11
literally just glows red that she uses for collagen production and wrinkle reduction and all and on her neck and
16:17
stuff like that so uh I don't think she'll let me use that for the other purpose that would be but yeah you have
16:23
to clean it got to clean it real thoroughly but I'm curious about what they not you know are there particular
16:30
wavelengths I have an IR sauna that I use down in my basement that is both heat related and IR but I don't know if
16:36
it's the right wavelength or or not so the red light therapy devices
16:42
feed you the wavelengths that you get also from the Sun so if you could if if
16:51
you could suntan that part of the body every day for 10 minutes then you'd be getting
16:59
probably about the same effect but yeah there's uh there's there's there's four
17:06
uh primary uh therapeutic red light therapy frequencies which the major
17:13
devices all carry and the the thing that's nice about red light therapy is
17:19
that it is that the clinical science that's been done has been done primarily
17:25
on these four wavelengths and so if you are using those four wavelengths then
17:32
you can then then you can expect that you're going to respond in a way somewhat similar to the subjects in the
17:39
clinical trials whereas when you're talking about supplements or pharmaceutical
17:45
interventions it's a little bit of a question mark as to whether you are
17:54
getting the exact same form or the same quality of of supplement that was used
18:02
in those clinical in those clinical trials so when you're when you're
18:07
dealing with someone that's totally unacquainted to biohacking when you're dealing with someone who is kind of a
18:14
Normy and they kind of just do what their doctor recommends and they're super skeptical of everything else the
18:22
red light therapy has really unassailable scientific evidence and uh
18:29
I really like it too because as I uh delve into the uh PubMed studies and the
18:37
research on different anti-aging supplements what I see really consistently is that is that red light
18:44
therapy has effects and mechanisms or Downstream mechanisms that are often
18:51
very similar to what you will get from anti-aging supplements that are going to
18:57
cost you 5060 $70 a month whereas a red light therapy device is going to cost
19:04
several hundred and then you can use it every single day for for years uh we have that
19:12
we've had that thing for about five years now and it still works
19:17
perfectly and that's why you wanna that's really probably why you want to buy from a high quality Source because
19:23
if it's you want to make sure that they're actually that it's and there's almost no way to ify this unless you've
19:29
got a spectrometer or something like you know light spectrometer but you by buying from higher quality people you're
19:34
going to get something that they actually can verify the wavelength because that you know that that's where
19:40
the technology comes in right like you don't want to buy some Cheapo thing off of AliExpress and you know you may not get
19:47
the right light right uh White Light wavelength excuse me
19:53
mhm yeah yeah and you want something that's tested for the for the EMF
19:58
that it that it puts that it puts out because if it's yeah if it's like bathing you in emfs while you're doing
20:06
your red light therapy then that's not great so uh yeah so there's this whole
20:13
so uh okay so red light therapy is one of my favorite things and I also really
20:20
like the pmf pulst electromagnetic field therapy and that is these devices that
20:27
you on your body and what they do is essentially they just feed your body
20:36
some more topically topically in specific locations they feed your body a
20:42
little bit more uh some more electrons a little bit more
20:47
electricity and uh for example uh earlier it was last year last year my
20:54
wife developed a dental thing and one of her teeth was really killing her and she
21:03
went and saw the dentist couple times two three times and the dentist gave her
21:12
some painkillers for it and the painkillers were not working she was
21:17
still in a lot of pain and so I turned to my pmf device or this is what
21:26
happened was as soon as she had the problem I gave her the pmf device and it didn't actually work very well and but
21:34
then I I looked through there's a database of frequencies that comes with
21:40
a pmf device I use it's from a company called InfoPath and they had some R
21:46
frequencies that were specifically for dental pain issues and she started using
21:53
those and they assuaged the pain in about 10 15 minutes and uh and she had to hold
22:03
the thing like on her face for it was about two days but it ended up uh it
22:11
ended up assuaging the pain and yeah otherwise she would have really been
22:17
suffering for several days with it so yeah I'm a real big fan of pmf is there
22:24
I mean is there a biome like what's the biological response that I mean what it
22:30
how does that work in other words like you know anecdotally obviously she put it on there at relieve the pain but is
22:36
there some sort of biology that happens from result of the pulse magnetic field
22:42
that's happening yeah so it so so it it feeds
22:48
your body a little bit more electricity in a specific spot so that your body is
22:55
a little bit more empowered to heal itself and then this device like I said
23:03
has a database of a bunch of different frequencies and I I understand this is a little bit into the woo woo
23:11
territory and these different frequencies will these different frequencies work on the entrainment
23:19
principle that when your body is exposed to different frequencies your body will
23:25
get into sync with those with those frequencies this is why like when when
23:31
you're cuddling in bed with your wife at night your uh your hearts put out this
23:39
electromagnetic field and when you're cuddling together your two electromagnetic fields are going to sink
23:46
up are going to sink up and this is this is part of the reason why white cuddling is great why it increases intimacy so
23:53
it's the yeah it's it's an entrainment effect and and I will also
23:59
use this uh sometimes I will attach my pmf device to the back of my to the back
24:05
of my head and then I will beam a uh an
24:11
alpha wave uh Alpha wave beta wave gamma wave Delta wave into the back of my head
24:18
into my Corpus colossum and this will start to this will change this will change my state because something like a
24:25
Delta is like real relaxed and sedating but if I want to read a book like uh
24:32
antifragile or Alis Shrugged then I want to be really focused so I would be using
24:39
something like an alpha wave for that so yeah it's the electricity plus the
24:46
entrainment principle to to simplify the mechanism behind those and that's kind
24:53
of the idea I guess behind those magnetic bracelets and all of that stuff right but all although those likely
24:58
don't have enough I mean are those basically just junk you know with the I've never I've
25:05
never used them but obviously they you know the marketing was there they got pretty popular for a
25:11
while I think those are it's probably a lot of placebo yeah it's probably a lot
25:17
of placebo there and we shouldn't disregard things just because of the
25:23
placebo effect because there are hundreds of thousands of double blind
25:30
clinical studies the the gold standard of science uh totaling tens of millions
25:38
of human participants uh proving proving with the gold standard of science that
25:45
belief is very very powerful that uh belief can uh cure depression cure
25:53
cancer uh fix uh shoddy knees so yeah I
25:58
would say those kinds of things I have not investigated them but I would say they're probably a placebo but perhaps
26:06
not a waste of money yeah for sure uh it's interesting that you say that because we I was so my wife's been
26:13
having a little bit of um back issue she we did a 10k run and just tightness and
26:19
all that but we went we have a friend of ours that's a physical therapist and when we went she did needling and
26:24
needling if you don't know is a little bit like acupuncture but it's far deeper it's directly into the muscle it's into
26:30
the muscle fiber and basically what it does is it causes the muscle to contract and then relax as a result of the of of
26:37
the needle but I asked her I said how did they figure this out and and it was
26:42
basically they were doing injections and I can't remember what exactly the drug was I don't know if it was
26:48
corticosteroids or something like that where they were injecting people um with
26:54
with needles obviously in in order to see whether or not this particular chemical worked and the placebo was just
27:02
water and they figured out that the needle itself was the actual mechanism
27:08
in which that it it it it caused the muscle pain to go away and so you know
27:14
they figured out that the acupuncture needles versus a big huge Lancet type needle uh is much more effective but to
27:21
your point the placebo effect can sometimes be just as good as anything or even better because there's no side
27:27
effect right yeah yeah so if there's if there
27:32
if there's ways that you can yield the placebo uh effect and for for Men We
27:41
tend to be we tend to be rational uh or we we we Aspire we should be we should
27:48
be rational and so my urging to people
27:54
is to when when if they have a health issue that they're trying to address or
27:59
if they're looking to just max themselves out a little bit more the the
28:05
supplements that they that they take and the modalities that they try do research
28:12
on those things uh get into PubMed uh do the reading on those sorts of things
28:19
because the the research that you do will will up the that will up the level
28:25
of belief that you're going to have in in what you're in in in what you're in
28:30
what you're using and you'll you never really know when you're using a drug or
28:35
a supplement how much of the effect is the is the placebo effect but I think
28:41
that you can Hack That by educating yourself a bit more going into it yeah
28:47
for sure and are there so so you have the technology side that's mainly the red red light em or pmf that you talked
28:53
about are there other Technologies you know we're still kind of in that bio hack 101 uh explanation but are there
29:00
other technologies that you recommend um are those kind of the two main ones that are mostly accessible to the average
29:07
Joe sure I'll share one of my favorites that's actually really
29:13
affordable is a dual endb back brain training and so this is a little game
29:23
that you can play on your smartphone and it's the one brain training task that is
29:31
demonstrated to have transfer effects to your working memory and your executive
29:41
control capacities in life in in general uh
29:46
there's a lot of different brain training apps out there bunch of games out there I've experimented with uh with
29:52
several of them and a lot of them just make you better at the game itself but
30:00
dual endb back is the one that has transfer effects and it will it will
30:08
also or at least uh a scientist that had done a lot of research on this who I
30:14
interviewed twice his claim was that doing dual endb back training for about
30:21
a month would actually increase your IQ and I have certainly noticed when I
30:28
it's it's a task where basically you have uh a little grid on a screen and
30:35
you have a little block that jumps around the screen into random positions
30:42
and in each position it gives you a it'll give you a little audio cue like
30:48
it'll say two seven nine eight a random audio CU and then you need to remember
30:58
when it was one position back from where it was and also remember what the audio
31:05
Q was and you mark it when it's a a a spatial match or an auditory match and
31:14
when you get to a higher when you get to 80 90% accuracy it takes you to the next
31:20
level from Dual from endb back two to endb back three to end back
31:25
four and thereby what it's doing essentially is upgrading the ram of your
31:32
conscious mind it's exercising your conscious mind to hold on to more to
31:39
hold on to and process more information um at any given moment and so I've
31:47
noticed with that that when I'm doing that brain training real consistently
31:52
when I'm working on like a web development task and I've got like 10
31:57
different browser tabs open and I am trying to find the right piece of syntax
32:04
to put someplace I will be remembering exactly where I'm putting things and what I'm
32:10
doing and I won't have to refer back to my project management uh flowchart on it
32:16
and so it yeah it makes me better at that focus and then dual endb back also
32:23
makes you it makes you a little bit more icy emotional it makes you more like level emotionally
32:31
um because it it has this effect where the it diminishes like emotional
32:38
impulsivity so when I'm using that like when there's some little thing with my
32:44
wife or whatever or someone else that like upsets me I I have just a bit more
Dual N-Back Brain Training
32:50
of a reserve of like objectivity and impartiality to where I'm not gonna like
32:57
say and do something real rash so yeah so so dual endb back is yeah that's been
33:05
a big hack for me in like the web development department and also in the
33:13
relationships Department oh that is interesting yeah that's um my my family accuses me first of all they accuse me
33:19
of being a robot but they accuse me I for some
33:24
reason have the ability to pull I have like my own card catalog in my brain and
33:30
so for whatever reason God given kind of memory level to where I can pull out
33:35
these card catalog entries pretty rapidly so it'd be interesting for me
33:41
which means I have tons of random facts that I can just remember um and so I
33:47
just have an excellent memory but not photographic or anything like that but it would be interesting to try the Dual inback stuff and see whether or not I
33:54
can actually improve that and or have better recall more efficient recall or
33:59
anything like that yeah it might because the the way
34:06
long-term memory work you have long-term and short-term memory and so your your
34:12
short-term day-to-day memories these things get transferred into long-term
34:18
memory when we are sleeping and so this is why yeah this is why sleep hacks things like the red light are really
34:25
important and memory goes through this consolidation
34:31
reconsolidation process it the memory gets drawn back into our working
34:36
conscious memory and and then is brought back into our long-term memory and so
34:44
the Dual endb back sh there okay I have not seen science on this but I would
34:53
hypothesize that it would help some with semantic episodic recall because it does
35:01
optimize the working memory and the executive control so yeah you should uh
35:07
try it for about 20 days it's it's not a thing like meditation that you have to
35:14
do for months and months and months for it to really benefit you if you in the
35:20
uh science that's done on it they had people doing about 10 15 minutes of dual
35:27
back training for 20 days or for a month and that produced
35:33
measurable gains in cognitive abilities that were sustained with like a minimum
35:42
of ongoing of ongoing training so yeah it's one of those things that can like
35:48
upgrade your mind with a minimum of effort compared with uh all the other
35:54
personal development transformational modalities out there yeah there's no you know very that's very little uh doesn't
36:01
take very much it seems like it's something it's you know that's kind of how musculature Works um it actually
36:06
takes very little effort to maintain once you can lift a certain amount it takes very little effort to actually be
36:13
able to continue to lift that amount um there's different studies that are that are out there with that but it sounds
36:18
sounds very similar um so you do a lot of you know you just said over 200 uh
36:25
you remind me a little bit of Tim Ferris right Tim Ferris is a big one on self um
36:31
self-experimentation I guess so I'm sure that he's someone that you uh I don't know how you feel about his his
36:37
methodologies and what he does but you know beyond the technology side of things you you do a lot and let me just
36:45
here's the disclaimer for this episode right we're not Physicians we've not recommending anything in specific that
36:51
you go by and take you know you you should use your own judgment and don't
36:56
hold us accountable basically use at your own risk right but you know are how does the biohacking work from a chemical
37:03
standpoint I if you got you know nicotine and New neut Tropics and all of these different things but can you and
37:09
then I'll ask you a very specific question about that but can you kind of run through some of that stuff for us sure so the neut tropics are usually
37:19
boosting neurotransmitters typically a cetto Coline that's the that's the mechanism
37:27
by which most of them by which most of them work which gives us more which
37:34
gives us more Focus which gives us more motivation which gives us a greater
37:40
problem solving capacity so yeah I would say the assetto coine pathway is the one
37:48
many of them use some of them will work on dopamine and that can be that can be
37:56
kind of interesting because boosting your dopamine is really a way of
38:02
upleveling the motivation that you have there's a very popular smart drug it's
38:09
called modafanil have you heard of that one by chance no okay it's the military grade smart
38:18
drug they give it to there there was some studies famously done with uh F-117
38:24
Stealth fighter pilots a along with uh along with combat helicopter pilots and
38:32
you can imagine like a combat helicopter pilot they they can't exactly like put
38:37
the helicopter in autopilot they have to be like alert and in control of the
38:44
helicopter for 10 15 16 17 hours on a
38:50
mission and so they would give them modafanil and modafanil was originally
38:55
developed as an anti-ars drug and so it'll make you so
39:01
it essentially makes us just really awake and it it will give you a lot of
39:08
motivation and if you've got if you've got something like a web development task some sort of technical task it'll
39:16
give you a huge reserve of brain power for that but it's a very problematic
39:25
smart drug it's that one is pretty far from what I recommend to people despite
39:32
its popularity because it is a uh I was
39:38
talking with another biohacker and he described it as an anti- empathy drug
39:44
yeah that's the which I mean that would be good in military applications right that's the you know that's that's that's
39:49
much needed in a military operation but in general life that would be great for war yeah right
39:57
but yeah uh on uh when I do modafanil and I do it infrequently these days I I
40:06
think it gives me kind of like a psychopath's mind because I find that
40:13
any social situation that I'm in even even something like talking with the
40:20
cashier at the grocery store I will be like meta analyzing this like chessboard
40:27
in my mind of the interaction and I'll be saying how can I appear normal to
40:35
this to the fellow human being here yeah and I I I think that's kind of what
40:40
Psychopaths go through so uh yeah so something like modafanil is gonna boost
40:46
dopamine and and that could be there's there's people like modafanil got really
40:52
popular in Silicon Valley with these people that are working like 20 hours a
Chemical Biohacking: Nootropics
40:59
day to try to build the newest application that Google will buy for a
41:05
billion dollars um and I'm
41:11
also uh to switch categories there's a category that I am a really big fan of
41:18
which is the adap and so these are an herbal category
41:25
and these are herbs that have a holistic that that I I think as far as like the
41:31
holistic effect this is the best category so something like
41:38
riola is a real classic neut Tropic it's going to wake you up in fact I've used
41:45
it as a coffee alternative a bunch of times it's gonna wake you up it's going
41:50
to give you more energy it's going to brighten your mood in the adaptogens
41:57
category uh there's this there's the uh adaptogenic mushrooms which I'm pleased
42:04
with how popular those have gotten recently is that like the mudwater coffee that they isn't that mushroom
42:10
base I think they have there's a brand out there that talks about for sigmatic yeah something like that
42:16
yeah yeah yeah I'm I'm I'm a big fan of those those those mushrooms will work on
42:24
the immune system in fact um in fact we used a specific U
42:32
uh we got HPV or to be more accurate I got HPV and gave it to her okay and then
42:39
we and then this is a problem you got to deal with right and so if you Google
42:44
like HPV they're gonna tell you there's no cure you're you're screwed for life
42:50
you dirty little [ __ ] you um but I I I went into PubMed and looked deeper into
42:57
the science and there's a particular mushroom called uh kolis versola or
43:04
turkey tail and this mushroom uh had all these clinical studies showing clearance
43:12
of HPV and so we started using we started using that and it's it's really
43:18
not something that we need to worry about anymore so yeah so those mushrooms can be uh those can be great for for
43:27
immunity and then there's some sedating adaptogens like uh like uh Rishi there's
43:35
Rishi panex jining those are probably the best sedating mushrooms so those are
43:41
going to uh relax you after your day of being a maxed out
43:47
man and um and then there's uh maybe my favorite adaptogen which is horny
43:54
goatweed have you tried that one yeah I have actually and I you know I don't know if I did it right I don't know if
43:59
there was um there was you know a a minimum effective dose issue or whatever
44:05
but I it didn't seem to do anything for me so educate me on that maybe I didn't do it right yeah you might not have taken
44:12
enough because it's one of those that you can you can up the dose quite a bit
44:18
higher than what's on the than what's on the packaging because it's a water it's
44:25
water soluble right not fat soluble I think is that that that typically is a differentiator between take as much as
44:31
you want versus take you know be more be more concerned about toxicity yeah with horny goatweed I make
44:39
I make a tea I make it as a tea and with those herbs often you will get more of
44:46
an acute experiential effect from them when you take it as a tea so I make me
44:55
and Mrs rosand uh strong horny goatweed tea before sexy time and I I do think
45:04
that I do think it's had an effect of making uh her orgasms more uh more
45:10
intense and more like more more frequent so it's uh yeah it's it's a pleaser for
45:17
because it's sold it's sold as a libido enhancer experience enhancer right those
45:22
are the those are kind of the the the big things that it that it's kind of purported to do a and it'll boost
45:30
testosterone also so it's something it's something that you can take every day for a little bit of an uptick in
45:38
testosterone and then yeah and then take more when uh on date night interesting
45:45
yeah yeah yeah give that one another try maybe you got bunk stuff cuz with these
45:50
herbs um you want to make sure that your vendor is is providing a COA a
45:57
certificate of analysis with a spectroscopy from an accredited American
46:04
or european lab that is showing that the assay con forms that's showing that it's
46:12
pure stuff because uh yeah if you're just going on Amazon or picking up
46:18
something from the Vitamin Cottage you might get really bunk stuff yeah because
46:24
you're GNA pay I mean you know you're GNA pay quite a bit more for really good stuff right is that kind of the rule of
46:29
thumb uh versus the so the cheap cheaper stuff is not really the can you trust it
46:34
cheaper I'm just trying to get kind of a a generalized idea the the COA is I think the most
46:42
important important thing to look for as a consumer okay yeah so that's super
46:49
important so you got and so those are we're not so what New
46:55
Tropics neut Tropics is kind of the big buzzword now right and and is that there
47:01
I assume there's like a whole subset of New Tropics we talked a little bit about the technology side you talked about um
47:08
some of the military side is there um something that you recommend from a neut Tropic standpoint so basically what I
47:15
and we can break it down like this so I'm a I'm a 50-year old guy I eat pretty good I exercise all the time sleep is
47:22
I'm a six and a half hour guy regardless of if I you know that's just tends to me
47:28
my my maximum uh and I feel good with that I use too much caffeine usually uh
47:35
but you know symptomatically we've got you know as we get to be in my age you've got prostate issues typically
47:41
have you know nearsighted or uh farsightedness your eyes start to go bad
47:46
so kind of what would you recommend for someone like me for getting started kind of down this road whether it be neut
47:53
Tropics or Eye Health or prostate health or any of these biohacking things that might kind of again maximize me
47:59
physically and emotionally and mentally sure so I health I'm gonna
48:06
Circle back to because I've got a bunch of cool hacks there in in the neut
48:14
tropics Department I would love for you to try
48:20
the racetams and the racetams are not quite
48:27
as well known this is a category of they are pharmaceutical molecules they're not
48:34
neutraceuticals but they're a class of pharmaceuticals that has underwent
48:40
pretty impressive scientific study and research the original racetam which is
48:48
the one that I think is the best is petam and this one was developed I think
48:55
in the 1960s and it has undergone five or 600
49:02
human clinical studies including a a including population studies there was a
49:10
there's like a little town in France full of old people and they like gave
49:15
this whole town parasan for 20 years and then did a follow-up analysis of how the
49:23
people were doing and so paracetamol as like a anti- cognitive
49:32
decline uh drug as something to combat Alzheimer's dementia
49:39
Etc but it has a it has a brilliant effect as a smart drug it uh will it's
49:48
one of these things that starts that for most people it starts working right away
49:54
and it makes you more focused and energetic uh it gives you a uh a sense
50:02
of like optimism about whatever you are about whatever you're working on like
50:08
you're really ready to take on the challenge of the of the day when you're on
50:25
where your semantic and episodic long-term memory opens up to you more
50:33
and you'll start to you'll remember you'll start to remember like odd things from childhood or you'll you'll remember
50:42
books that you read in high school or pieces of foreign language vocabulary
50:50
from ages ago and that I've uh there's a
50:56
bunch of different neut Tropics have effects on on memory like uh Jin sing
51:02
has pretty good clinical evidence on memory but in my experience and I've
51:07
talked with hundreds and hundreds of biohackers over the years
51:25
I tell them and and there's a bunch of uh of course with memory there's a bunch of products out there if you go on
51:31
Amazon and you say memory support it's G to give you a bunch of products that are
51:37
like uh that are like a a gin sing and uh and something and something else um
Specific Recommendations for a 50-Year-Old
51:44
but when uh in my experience if you want to upgrade memory you turn to
51:51
paracetamol endb back training and using using pneumonics okay so to get back to
51:58
your to get back to your question if if people want to dive into the neut
52:03
tropics world but they don't want to like they don't want to waste their time I my recommendation is to go with the
52:12
racetam because those are uh they're they're over the course of the science
52:17
done on them they're demonstrated as being being remarkably safe as far as as
52:23
far as Pharmaceuticals go and they tend to work pretty quickly
52:29
they tend to give you more motivation and brain power pretty quickly often
52:35
within uh 30 or 40 minutes of dosing and
Introduction to Nootropics and Paracetam
52:41
with the
52:50
paracetamol it's not as stimulatory but it just it's just just gives you more
52:56
discipline to be doing the things you know you should be doing and not doing the things that you shouldn't be doing
53:02
and then there's another one called anaram that a lot of people respond really well to and then there's one
53:09
called phenol
53:20
paracetamol parasan and doing brain training Gam that were mathematic in
53:27
nature I I noticed an uptick in my scores on that so yeah so I recommend
53:34
the racetams the adaptogens and then one that you've already mentioned a couple
53:39
times which is nicotine and uh and nicotine is a pretty
53:46
nicotine can be a pretty brilliant smart drug I called nicotine the creativity
53:53
drug because an ryed Tolstoy dfki Mark
53:59
Twain the iconic the greatest authors were almost all vicious smokers
Effects of Paracetam on Memory
54:10
and that's because yeah nicotine will just give you uh quite the reserve of
54:16
creativity um but the issue with nicotine is that it is addictive of
54:22
course and so so I of of course don't advise that people smoke or vape uh I
54:29
think vaping is maybe a little bit less a little bit less destructive than
54:35
smoking is but it is still really not very good for us I recommend that in the
54:41
nicotine Department that people use some of the um there's a company in the
54:47
States called Lucy that does a clean nicotine gum product there's another
54:54
company called transcriptions that has an interesting an interesting product
54:59
that combines it with uh methylene blue which will turn your mouth really really
55:04
blue but it'll that really fire up your neurons it's so I recommend that people
55:10
use nicotine but that they do it cyclically that uh in life we're going
55:17
to kind of have these these coasting periods and these sprinting periods and
55:25
right now uh in the beginning of the year probably a lot of guys are getting into a sprinting period where they have
55:34
like they're trying to uh start a new business or write a book or start a new
55:41
company or they want to do a bunch of prepping so that we can survive the
55:46
coming apocalypse so uh so if you're getting into a a sprinting period of
55:53
life and especially if you need some creativity for something do like a 30 60
Recommendations for Nootropics
56:00
or 90day cycle on nicotine and it will
56:05
it will multiply you uh it'll multiply you quite a bit so yeah so uh if people
56:10
want to dive into New Tropics but they don't want to waste their time trying a
56:17
bunch of different products yeah I'd say adaptogens racetams and maybe maybe
56:25
using nicotine if they don't have a addictive kind of personality because
56:30
the what do have they studied the addictive cycle for nicotine I just watched this I just watched this
56:36
documentary on Netflix about Jewel and how they were delivering like two and a half times as much nicotine as that they
56:43
were as a typical cigarette so that's you know they basically and their marketing tactics and all that they
56:49
basically addicted like you know half the population of kids under 18 um but
56:54
is there like I tend to have a little bit of an addictive personality I don't
56:59
drink I don't smoke I don't do any of those things Prim you know one of the reasons because my parents are adap you
57:05
know drug addicts alcoholics and all that but is there kind of this I understand the cycling aspect of it but
57:11
like if you're saying okay 90 days I feel like that 90 days for some people would be like you're fully addicted and
57:17
then have to go cold turkey kind of how does that um cycle look and what what has the study shown about that
Nicotine as a Smart Drug
57:25
sure well the uh the self-awareness is the self-awareness is real important
57:33
there so with me I'm blessed with not an addictive personality so I have no
57:41
problem with doing it for 60 days and then and then going off of it cold
57:46
turkey and if I do a little bit of a tapering strategy I I don't even really
57:52
have a withdrawal from from it but if there yeah for it's probably something
57:58
that you should stay away from um or what some people will do is they'll use
58:05
it very infrequently they'll use it uh once or twice a week
58:12
before before something that they really need creative power for so if you're
58:17
going to do something like uh like a sales presentation then that would be
58:23
like that would be the kind so yeah it would kind of come down to the individuals understanding a little bit
58:30
uh what their what what their kind of personality is and yeah I mean it's not
58:35
it's not like it's not like meth right meth is the whole you know not even like the the ability of meth to get you
58:41
addicted is is pretty high because I guess it has like it's a diminishing effect in after the first hit it's a
58:49
diminishing effect over time so that's why people constantly chase that initial
58:54
hit so it's not like that but it it you know it's definitely the I like the self-awareness aspect of that for
59:00
sure I did meth once and I break danced
59:05
alone in a basement never again never again but then I had no I had no desire yeah after
59:13
after that yeah I'm not I I'm I'm not a an experimental drug kind of guy like
Eye Health and Blue Light Blockers
59:18
I've never I just don't I just don't do them so but I separate that with you
59:23
know in terms of supplements and those kind of things like I I don't really take a lot of them but I'm interested in the science of it and different effects
59:31
and kind of though those kind of aspects of it so this stuff is super interesting sure so you were asking
59:38
about eyesight bio hacks which is that's actually super important because we all
59:46
spend so much of our time these days staring at glowing rectangular screens
59:53
and that is really not good for our eyes and people might be wondering about my
1:00:01
crossed eye and that is not caused by the neut tropics or any of the
1:00:07
biohacking things that I've done that is just the way that I was born and I'm
1:00:15
looking forward to in the future when uh
1:00:20
when nerve repair technology gets a little bit better and I might able to fix that but with eyes there's okay
1:00:30
there's a couple of pretty good ey hacks that I've found one is using the blue
1:00:38
light blockers have you have you seen those I had another guest um not too
1:00:44
long ago and he actually uses those every every night he and his wife use them um quite often and that so they
1:00:50
wear them at night they can still be on their phones or watch TV or whatever but by using those really helps with that so
1:00:56
explain explain what those are though yeah so I'll grab
1:01:06
mine yep and so their glasses orange tinted glasses that filter out some of
1:01:14
the blue light that we are getting hit with on our computers and uh of of
1:01:22
course the the advice that you hear here is just just avoid using your tablet or
1:01:29
your smartphone for two three four hours before bed and this is just not
1:01:36
practical advice that very many people are going to follow so I think using
1:01:41
blue blockers in the evening is real smart and it will result in it will
1:01:48
result in better sleep and then let's see there's another product that I
1:01:56
really like for eyesight which is pretty affordable I don't have it right now
1:02:03
it's called a viso and it's mitochondrial ey drops so
1:02:11
it's ey drops that contain the skq1 molecule and the skq1 molecule uh
1:02:19
delivers a targeted mitochondrial antioxidant and so so it targets the M
1:02:27
the mitochondria specifically and then your eyes have the highest con have one
1:02:34
of the highest concentrations of mitochondria in your in your body and
1:02:41
that mitochondria gets worn out with a long day of looking at glowing screens
1:02:48
and so these visomitin ey drops I would use these in the evening
1:02:55
and they would work wonders to relieve eye
1:03:00
strain after a long day of uh it slavery
1:03:06
and then they have uh the uh Roos buildup the uh reactive oxygen species
1:03:13
buildup in our eyes this is something that over time causes cataracts that
Other Eye Health Hacks
1:03:19
causes decline of it causes all sorts of problems and these visite and ey drops
1:03:26
uh address that and they do it very affordably although it's a it's a pro it
1:03:34
was a Russian product so if you want to get it these days you're gonna have to
1:03:41
uh break out an untraceable uh crypto currency wallet and uh I have a website
1:03:48
where where I do actually I need to double check that they can get that to North America America at this time but
1:03:57
yeah those uh that particular product made my eyes a lot happier that's
1:04:03
interesting yeah because as I mean I I've got my um I don't wear them while I'm doing the podcast but these are my
1:04:09
uh TR you know progressives basically for because as you as I've got when I
1:04:14
got about 45 and I've spent the last 25 years on the computer um you know the my
1:04:21
eyes just start to get tired and my vision is just you know it's it's age related but it's also just a matter of
1:04:27
spending too much time on looking at like you said glowing glowing screen so I'm interested in trying whatever I can
1:04:34
to help that it was ironic because my wife made fun of me because my eyes and we're basically the same age she's about
1:04:40
six months younger she made fun of me because my eyes started to go bad and then hers progressed far more quickly in
1:04:47
going you know to less eyesight than mine did of course she'd had lasic and those kind of things but but uh yeah
1:04:54
eyesight is one of those things that it's just it's just annoying when you get a little bit when you start to get into your 40s and 50s and
1:05:01
Beyond let's see one of the adaptogens sassandra has is supposed to have a
1:05:08
positive effect on eyesight I didn't really notice I didn't really notice
1:05:14
much of an effect sassandra is this really lovely herb it's it's beautiful
1:05:20
I'll put a picture of it on my website through the link it's this beautiful herb and then it has this awesome taste
1:05:28
it's called a five flavor taste and then
1:05:33
it's a it's a subtle neut Tropic and it's also a uh libido booster so it yeah
1:05:42
that that's like those adaptogens just do a lot of good things for us that's
1:05:48
great yeah the the libido boosting stuff is interesting because there's so much kind of snake oil out there that that
1:05:55
talks about that you know a lot of our audience is in their 40s 50s and that
1:06:00
kind of thing and for guys you know we we have kind of an easy solution which is trt right testosterone replacement
1:06:08
therapy which is kind of you know a little bit of a Magic Bullet and I don't know if that would be consider it's not really considered a biohack um
1:06:15
necessarily but um you know for women however you know yes they can do some
1:06:22
testosterone boosters but then they get all the fun little things like facial hair and all these different you know
1:06:28
aspects of doing testosterone so the libido boosting thing is is interesting to me to help you know to be kind of
1:06:36
have men help their wives and partners you know with some of that stuff did did you ever get into the
1:06:43
tantric stuff I have a little bit you know I've studied it uh somewhat um not
1:06:49
into not within not deeply in other words I know that you put that in your bio and so the tantric stuff is is
1:06:56
definitely an interesting um you know and that's a whole other podcast but that is a definitely an interesting
1:07:02
aspect of what can be done yeah yeah that's uh I think that's
1:07:08
a pretty awesome technology that we have that we have within us to uh to as as
1:07:17
men to retain a bit more of our male Essence and and Power
1:07:24
and to focus our sexual our sexual energies more and to uh and and to
1:07:33
increase the intimacy in in in relationships so that's so yeah uh
1:07:40
that's something that's uh really enriched our life quite a bit so it's
1:07:47
something that I recommend pretty that I recommend pretty enthusiastically really
1:07:53
really men of of any age but I I do understand that there's with every
1:08:00
relationship has kind of its um the bedroom is the one place where
1:08:06
you don't want to push the comfort zone too much right right open and honest communication that's a big one you know
1:08:12
for sure so so it's it's it's not for it's it's not for it's not for everyone
1:08:20
but for me I really en I I enjoy the uh
1:08:25
the the full body orgasm experience that
1:08:30
uh I think any man can experience with some practice of the tantric techniques
1:08:38
um I I I enjoy having I enjoy like having the option in my head of saying
1:08:45
okay we're going to make love but I'm not going to ejaculate I'm not going to
1:08:51
yeah I'm gonna like my energy I'm going to keep that energy in me so that I can
1:08:57
uh I don't know maybe we're having sexy time during the day and and I I I got work to do or maybe I've got like an
1:09:05
important thing going on the next day and with the with with about 20 days of
Libido Boosting and Tantric Techniques
1:09:12
practicing those tantric techniques men will have that as as as as an option um
1:09:20
which which I think I think that's uh I think that's a really thing it fits in
1:09:25
uh really well with the the rest of all of these kinds of hacks in my view yeah
1:09:32
that's yeah that's definitely something that that um you know whether it's Sean retention or you know tantric and and
1:09:39
all of these different avenues that I think are a little bit taboo we don't talk a lot about them um you know we do
1:09:46
something very similar kind of very simple which is we have a massage table in our in our room and so she I'll do
1:09:53
fullbody 75 minute massages you know and then sometimes what and we joke and we
1:09:59
say you know sometimes she takes advantage of our extra Services as part of that but you know and so but that's
1:10:07
that's kind of that energy flow and and you know that connection and that
1:10:13
relaxation and all of those kind of things so that's that's definitely something worth exploring for sure so
1:10:20
well I want to be respectful of your time and I know you wanted to share with with us um and this would be kind of a
1:10:26
monologue on your part but I know you wanted to share with us something in particular about kind of you know the
1:10:32
state of manhood and and why it's good to be a man right now so if if you're you know feel free to add anything else
1:10:39
in the meantime but I'd love for you to share that with the audience as well sure first I got a question for you
1:10:48
because you have been married quite a bit longer than 28 28 28 years we've
1:10:54
been actually it was 28 years in July so 28 and a half quote unquote okay okay I'm going to Avail
1:11:01
myself of your wisdom on something that's baffling me about about life with
1:11:08
women what is the purpose of white
1:11:15
tablecloths you know I we have white sheets on our bed and we've talked about
1:11:20
why they use and we have vacation rentals um and the purpose of using white versus other colors is that I
1:11:28
think that they're easier to clean because you can always bleach them and so you know they're clean so I don't
1:11:33
know if it's a cleanliness thing that's with our sheets we've talked about doing different colored sheets and all that
1:11:38
but but you know that that's the ease of that's the ease of sheets I don't know about tablecloths in particular uh but
1:11:45
but that'll be my that'll be my guess aha okay okay I've been I've been
1:11:51
here over over Christmas we had a white tablecloth and it just got dirty and then there was then they were perturbed
1:11:59
about the white tablecloth being dirty I was like why do we even have this thing yeah we don't I mean we don't use
1:12:05
tablecloths very often at our house we will on special occasions but honestly one of my favorite my wife's favorite is
1:12:10
like a green so you know we we're not a big white tablecloth family around here green makes more green makes more
1:12:18
sense there was this really woo woo biohacking podcast I was listening to
1:12:23
where they were saying that green is the fertility color that if if a woman is
1:12:29
wearing green and if if you got a lot of green around it's gonna have a fertility
1:12:36
interesting is that how we got the is that how we got the whole green Eminem myth also do you you ever you ever heard
1:12:42
of that so there's this there's like this myth when we were younger where evidently green M&M's are the are the
1:12:50
aphrodesiac M&M so it's there's completely no truth that whatever but maybe it comes maybe it has to do with
1:12:56
the color the color green sure sure we've we've figured it out
1:13:04
Kevin okay yeah so I have got a message about why
1:13:09
224 is the best time to be a man Even though even though it may seem like it
1:13:16
it's kind of an awful time to be a man so I'll grab the
1:13:24
I'll grab the the essay that I did
1:13:30
on this all right the area form digital Realm of the
1:13:38
manosphere is sometimes characterized as a monosphere because thoughtful men have
1:13:45
a lot of complaints about modernity about the appalling state of Western
1:13:50
Civilization the bias and impediments we face in the Contemporary workplace the
1:13:56
dumbing down of society [ __ ] woke culture the leftist politics wrecking
1:14:01
our countries and of course the Fallen state of the modern single woman having been steeped in manosphere content for
1:14:08
at least a decade while living in seven different countries I've reached the surprising conclusion that it's the best
1:14:15
time to be a man and that might sound crazy look at how hard it is to get a
The Best Time to Be a Man
1:14:23
good job keep up with the cost of living meet a nice girl stay healthy and raise a family these days you might say and
1:14:32
you're right but I think that a man philosophically should compare to the
1:14:40
ideal and to the average and in the final calculus lean more towards the
1:14:48
latter than the former if you h ly compare Life as a
1:14:55
modern man in the Roaring train wreck of the 2020s to any other era it becomes
1:15:03
clear that today more than in any other era you have more freedom to architect
1:15:09
the life you want compare and you'll start to liberate yourself from the
1:15:16
victim mindset that the state of society is holding you back if I were a man like
1:15:25
myself in the 1980s or the 1990s maybe I
1:15:30
could have made more money in the booming economy but there was no easyto
1:15:35
find red pill knowledge about women so I probably would have simply married the
1:15:41
prettiest girl willing to sleep with me repeatedly and then she would have probably gotten overweight from eating
1:15:48
the toxic mainstream standard American diet we would have gotten divorced and
1:15:53
then I would have lost a bunch of that money I'd made along with my kids maybe
1:15:58
if I were a man in the 1960s or 70s watching Mankind's greatest leap on
1:16:05
black and white television would have been very special but then I'd get
1:16:10
drafted and go get a hard case of PTSD in Vietnam in the 1970s the economy was
1:16:18
dog [ __ ] and the culture was deeply degenerate this would either ens snared
1:16:24
me or corrupted whatever woman I ended up with what about the 1950s it would have been pretty sweet to
1:16:32
afford a brand new home a new car a dutiful stay-at-home wife and yearly
1:16:38
family vacations on my salary but then my kids would grow up go to college on
1:16:44
my dime and become corrupted by the burining cultural Marxist movements that
1:16:50
I would have not known to warn warned them about what about the 1930s or the
1:16:57
1940s well the Great Depression would have made the modern economy look like
1:17:03
Zurich Switzerland then I would get drafted to go fight in World War II what
1:17:09
about the 1910s or 20s if I managed to
1:17:15
not get my face blown off in a trench in World War I or taken out by the Spanish
1:17:21
Flu well swing dancing to Jazz and the Roaring 20s would have been
1:17:27
Spanky and in any other era yeah maybe
1:17:32
it would have been easier to meet a nice marriageable Maiden but almost
1:17:39
everything else about life sucked you would have had less human and civil
1:17:46
rights options for personal and economic edification were next to non-existent
1:17:53
your work would have been unending backbreaking labor life would have been
1:17:59
in two words tedious and tiresome and you could be forced to go fight and die
1:18:06
in some brutal War you might think that guys in other historical eras had better
1:18:14
sex lives with better women but historically less than 50% of men
1:18:21
actually got the chance to reproduce many men simply never got to have sex
1:18:29
because Kings and Warlords hoarded women in Herms in relatively recent European
1:18:36
Society unless you achieve some success no patriarch would give you his daughter's hand in marriage in any era a
1:18:46
man's life is rif with struggle and Challenge and in their relative absence
1:18:53
we get weak men who make for bad times but only in modernity is that struggle
1:19:01
and challenge overcome with the habitual rejection of com of comfort which will
1:19:10
launch you on an invigorating Odyssey of personal transformation that makes you
1:19:17
happier healthier and Freer in any other era which you are
1:19:24
photoshopping the small poox scars out of in your fantasies you would have had
1:19:30
just as many challenges holding you back from a good life but they would have
1:19:36
almost certainly been things that you were powerless to effect and you would
1:19:43
have been totally bereft of the knowledge and tools that the modern man
1:19:50
has for reclaiming his sovereignty I wouldn't want to have been
1:19:56
born at any other time than 1985 nice yeah that's actually that's
1:20:04
super interesting because it's easy to argue that now we're living in one of the toughest times but honestly it's not
1:20:09
you know not true in the least so that's you know I think that's a great place to land the plane as micro always talks
1:20:16
