The Viable Alternative

We have a dilemma going on…

In this day and age, due to the advances made in technology or changes in thinking, we’re witnessing a number of societal changes that have adversely affected men, namely in the West, that include:

If you follow the “Manosphere” which is a collection of websites, blogs, YouTube channels, social media pages and profiles and online forums that deal with masculinity and men’s issues, you may have noticed that one of the hot topics of discussion of the day is the “high value man.”

I had originally wanted to write this two years ago, but I didn’t actually write this until well over a year later in August 2022, and after finishing it, it sat for another seven months before I decided to make this public. Posts like these tend to be very polarizing and so I’ve tended to be more discerning as to what I post because arguing with people on social media just takes up a lot of your time. Nonetheless, I feel that now this needs to be shared.

If you haven’t heard about Andrew Tate, let me briefly give a summary. He’s a biracial, British-American (or American British), former kickboxing champ, multi-millionaire entrepreneur, international playboy that was the most Googled man in the planet back in 2022 for his incendiary, polarizing remarks about women, dating, relationships, men, “the Matrix,” politics, religion and current affairs.

This past Monday I did my first MDMA session.  Now before I share my experience, I must disclose that MDMA IS ILLEGAL IN THE UNITED STATES although I believe it’s now in stage 4 of clinical trials by the FDA and is slated to be legalized for trauma treatment by earliest, next year.  Also, I’m not a doctor nor a therapist.  This post is not meant to be medical advice.  I encourage anyone reading this not to take my word for it, but do their own research.  I also do not condone frivolous use of this substance as it is not a toy.  If you do decide to try it, seek the assistance of an appropriate professional.

In the early morning of June 21, 2022, I finished a trip with my first heroic dose of psilocybin mushrooms. I started around 8:50ish PM EST and it wound down at 1:30 AM, so it was around 5 hours. Due to prior experiences with the plant, listening to the accounts of others who’ve used it for healing purposes, sitting with my uncomfortable feelings in the sauna, and having learned how to use the tools of Emotional Welcoming and Revealing taught by a company called Fearless, I was able to make the best of this trip and have my best experience yet, though it was quite intense and at times I wasn’t sure my body could take all the emotional and spiritual processing.

Yeah, I know, it’s been a long time, but if you will, follow me down this lane…

You’re a dude who’s insecure about your height because people have been poking fun at it for most of your life, and that has had a negative impact on your self esteem which in turn has had a negative impact on your dating life, career, and your social life. You feel like a victim and blame all your mishaps, failures and shortcomings on your height.

The other day, I was listening to an interview with NY Times Bestselling author, Tucker Max, in which he talked about his journey of healing and personal development.

I was 25 years old, had graduated college about a year and a half earlier, and was working a 9 to 5 at IBM as an associate consultant.

I remember it clear as day (although it was at night).
