Future-Proof

[Spaz]

It's with great interest that I've observed many labelling themselves as either Right or Left.

But how does that future-proof you as a man?

I suggest that politics-linked mindsets be replace by development-linked mindsets, to take away the politics.

Politics are actually antithesis to development, think about that.

A man in SS should be fluid and future-proof, that means, a man must put in efforts to remain relevant in the future.

Don't shackle yourselves with politics (right, left, centrist, libertarian or even the 3rd way).
The external environment is ever changing.

In order for a man to remain relevant, your mindset strategies must be adaptable to the future.

China is rising and they won't care if you're right or left.

Feminism is on the rise and they too won't care.

The world will move on regardless, and it too will not care if you're right leaning or left leaning.

How about you?

Do you still want to shackle yourself with politics of right or left ?

Agreed. As far as politics, I do things that support conservatism in general, but I do not run my mouth about such things. I see nothing to gain. I notice my life is much better the LESS I talk.

And understand just how LITTLE control the individual has over politics anyway.

“But I’m an xyz politics person!” Yeah great. The establishment will do ABC.

That’s like saying, “But I’m so attracted to her!”

She doesn’t care. It only matters if she is attracted to YOU.

I am a conservative (well actually more of a classical liberal which tends to align more with conservatism these days) and I am very vocal (albeit respectful) in voicing my political opinions because I feel we need to encourage more people to stand up to these facist leftists that are pushing for censorship of free speech, restricting the 2nd Amendment, pushing for socialism, open borders and mass uncontrolled immigration.

I believe we can't afford not to be politically active to some degree.

How does being a conservative affect ur mindset, behaviour and skills that u r adopting today, towards an uncertain future?

 

[Xenom0rph]

Being a conservative ( more of a classical liberal) gets me pumped because we really are fighting for the very existence and preservation of American culture - "Americana" - and it's an uphill battle. The leftists control the media and the education system, so they are able to push their ideology on impressionable youths. I don't want to get anymore in depth because I'm sure the mods will lock this thread.

For me personally, I am at my best when I feel outnumbered. I don't cave to pressure, I don't cave when the odds are stacked against me, it only reinforces my will and makes my mind sharper.

 

[Xenom0rph]

While I do agree that the "Left vs Right" paradigm is divisive and that it's perpetuated as a way to distract the public, unfortunately the left has become so far radical that the only way to maintain balance is for moderate citizens like myself to embrace conservatism. Sadly, it is a game that I don't like yet I am forced to participate if I wish to maintain stability in our country. If these leftists get their way the border will be dissolved and we'll all be taxed into poverty.

If I were to collapse Americana into a single word, it would sound more like the American Dream - at least the central ethos of Americana.

The American Dream - that's a powerful tool for development, which has proven to future-proof millions of Americans for decades.

Is it safe to say, that deep down u r actually a proponent for development then ?

Empirically, it is provable that the American Dream is just that.... a dream. It was more realistic decades ago than it is today.

Yes. Decades ago it propelled America to where it is now.

When it was 1st mooted, it future-proofed Americans for decades and but I'm not too sure abt the last decade or so. That's open for debate.

Not really. We can predict people's outcomes based on the zip code they were born. There's no debate to be had.

Predicting outcomes within a demographic area is possible but not definite as the external environment is ever changing.

That model is now outdated.

It's just interpreting statistical data. It doesn't mean any single individual from XXXXX cannot over perform or under-perform their statistical expectations.

That model is now outdated.

No, it's not outdated because you declare it so.

Agreed. As evolution of mankind has proven it.

No, it's not outdated because you declare it so.

It's outdated because the majority of humans don't make rational decisions.

There's 4 quadrants of personality, one of which is an intellectual such as yourself, you'd make rational decisions.

But the rest ?
