What Next?

There are three paths I can go down with respect to the next book I write.

NAZI MOON (linked) is now available at least in the US and CANADA and should be available soon in other countries too.

Do you Prefer I next write:

I have been asked to do the relationship book by friends and men in general for years; at least 20 of them. I resisted the impulse* for at least a couple of decades, primarily because, as one of my alter egos/nicknames —given to me by friends in Italy over 20 years ago— said in one of the graphic novels he appears in: “Any man that says he has understood all there is to know about women, is either a liar or insane.” And it’s close enough to the truth in some ways. Nevertheless, I feel that after two divorces, a lot of women in between, and finally a proper Catholic marriage, not to mention 4 children I fathered, I have probably made —and persevered!— and (one hopes), learnt enough that it is probably acceptable to pass on a few pointers to younger men; at least on those issues I feel I have now got enough experience to retroactively note when I did the right thing (regardless of outcome), and when I did the wrong thing (again, regardless of outcome). I mention this, because as I say, there have been a lot of people asking me for this for a long time.

With regard to my non-fiction, each book I have written so far, is really mostly a compilation of my theories and conclusions formed with many years of experience.

The Face on Mars was the result of a lifelong interest in Astronomy from very early childhood. I understood what a light-year was at age four, thanks to an uncle who was, and remains, a total geek to this day. He also sent me a telescope in my early teens, with which I observed the mountains of the moon, and how the moon itself moved. I also saw Haley’s comet with it, from our home in Africa at the time. And to this day the concepts I put forth in that book were then, and for the most part continue to remain today, unique. Some have badly plagiarised aspects of it (hello Graham Hancock) but the overall main issue had not been understood by anyone I am aware of before I saw it. And most remain totally ignorant of it, despite the predictions and theories I made back in 1995, playing out as correct in the intervening time. The update in 2014 also added a new dimension to the reality of my ideas, which is partly expanded on a lot more in my fiction work.

Systema was similarly, a book I wrote after I had personally spend decades in the martial arts world. And I wanted to demystify a LOT of the nonsense that goes with many martial art “concepts” and their related egos, and which —in particular— seemed to have a vortex of “mystic ninjas” concerning the Russian system. Which is an impression many martial artists might have if they have not experience of it firsthand. By merely watching YouTube videos or hearing “fantastic” stories of almost magical ability, they are most likely going to assume it is some woo-woo nonsensical “martial art”. That thought is disabused within minutes of confronting any of the top exponents of it. Unfortunately, as always, along with the really good practitioners, there were also a lot of “mystic ninjas” and some of the practitioners did nothing to demystify the situation, so I did it. I have been doing martial arts since I was a very small child, thanks to my dad, so I had pretty extensive knowledge of it before I put hand-to-keyboard after almost four decades of it.

Reclaiming the Catholic Church was in some ways the “odd man out” because I had a road to Damascus Event in 2013 and the book came out in 2020, that is, only 7 years later. However, I had been reading different books on all the main religions, mysticism, “spiritual” and even New Age stuff, again, since my teens, and literally infiltrating various cults as a hobby, in order to see if anyone had anything that was demonstrably true, real, or worthwhile. I had settled on a basic Zen-Agnosticism, with a clear understanding there must be an intelligence behind creation (the math, astronomy, biology and physics, as well as logic, pretty much confirms it many, many, many times over) but no sense of a God as such that was specifically interested in us mere mortals, much less me specifically. That changed in a radical, unexpected and utterly surprising way, that while “subjective” in the sense that I cannot prove it to anyone else, was absolutely objective and very much so for me. The other part that helped was that because the Catholic Church has ALL of its rules and dogmas written down, it was fairly easy to follow the thread of its history and see the astonishing truth it is founded on. As it was, to see that the current inhabitants of the Vatican are, without putting too fine a point on it, flat out Satanists.

BELIEVE! Instead, published a year before RTCC, was a much smaller work, putting out my new, or updated, basic outline philosophy. For those who have read both books, you will notice that BELIEVE! is not even a fifth of the size of RTCC, at just under 100 pages, and is a lot more open with respect to overall views and concepts. RTCC was the follow up that basically said, “OK, so that’s sort of where I am with respect to religion as a whole (BELIEVE!) now let’s take a look at this one path that I state is the best one I can see so far, and in this book, (RTCC), I went full autist, covering every aspect of Sedevacantism (i.e. the actual, current, only Catholicism left) and demonstrating it in a manner that no one has so far even attempted to refute, much less succeeded. The result is that RTCC is the foundation on which BELIVE! is really sitting on, which is probably why even if a much smaller and less detailed book, BELIEVE! has resulted in now over 100 people converting to Sedevacantist Catholicism (aka simply: Catholicism).

The reason I point all this out, is because in these last two non-fiction books, it becomes obvious that even my overall looser and more generic ideas, as expressed in BELIEVE!, for example, clearly have had a lot of genuinely positive effects on people who read them. And we know it was this that sparked the results, because BELIEVE! came first, and yet, even without all the details (presented in RTCC), it had a serious impact on people’s lives.

I see a LOT of confusion, struggles and heartache among young men today concerning intimate relationships and finding the right woman.

I literally get questions, emails, or messages on the topic to a frequency that is starting to become hard to keep up with. And as anyone that reads my blog knows, I have a rather low opinions of PUAs, and would very much hate to be mistaken for one. That said, I know for a demonstrable fact that my advice benefits these younger men, because they are getting married, having babies, and resolving issues they had for many years of their lives. I have literally had everything from friends, neighbours and even strangers, asking for advice, on an ad hoc basis, to hypnosis sessions with people that were under clinical care as supposedly paranoid schizophrenics under medication that went on to stop the medication (yes with doctor approval and full knowledge of my sessions with them) and go on to have a productive life with a functioning relationship, when prior they were 29 year old virgins. And I have been doing this for at least 15 years, with positive results.

So, perhaps, there is some utility in putting together some of the baseline concepts concerning male-female interactions and so on.

The other options (SF saga continuation) or YA SF books are, respectively, more a divertimento for myself and, a less fun, but I think helpful addition to the current dearth of adventure stories for boys mostly. I am not aware of anything like the Hardy Boys and so on coming along anytime recently, which is why Castalia House is doing well printing old classics. I would not enjoy writing such books as much as my own adult Science Fiction, but it would not be too difficult to do and they should be able to be produced fairly quickly. Although, I am not likely to be acclaimed as a children’s author anytime soon, or even long after I am dust, so the effort might not be worth it.

Anyway, I’d appreciate your thoughts on the matter, so please feel free to leave comments after you vote, thanks. 

* Vox, on this post, referring to someone else, Taleb, in this case, said something that holds true for most of us. Personally I have always genuinely tried to resist the temptation, and often people have been quite “deflated” when trying to make me their “guru”, when, after being asked something I know little or nothing about or at least I don’t feel qualified to take a stand on, I simply say “I have no idea”. Some were quite insistent nevertheless and I always consciously dissuaded that, as I explained in some detail in my book Systema: The Russian Martial System.

    Ignore your Critics

    While I think this advice may well be positively life-changing, especially for younger men, but men in general, let’s first point out some things that should be obvious to all, but probably aren’t, so bear with me with the disclaimers for a second.

    1. This advice is primarily for men. It certainly does not apply to women in anything to the same degree, and there are lots of reasons for this but let’s look at the main 2.
      • Women are solipsistic by nature, so they hardly ever take on board criticism, valid or invalid.
      • The social interactions relating to men are critical from both men and women, while the social interactions for women tend to be politely suggestive from men, or typically, completely positive gaslighting from other women. See this humours clip to understand.

    As a result, the advice provided here applies to women only rarely.

    2. General common sense (which is exceedingly rare) should prevail. Some criticisms are obviously valid, but these tend to be of the extreme nature pretty much everyone is already aware of, including the perpetrator (don’t rob little old ladies, don’t do drugs, steal, etc. etc. etc.) the advice here is primarily related to more general and widespread life choices, your career, job, relationship/s (of various types) and so on.

    3. I am not your dad. Ultimately you make your own choices and suffer their consequences or gain from their benefits. Ultimately, all responsibility for your actions rests with you. This is ALWAYS the case. Always.

    Ok, now that we got that out the way, let’s get into the meat of this.

    For the most part, men, and moreso the younger ones, have been thoroughly dipped in absolute bullshit narratives from birth.

    Now, don’t go feeling particularly special, everyone on this planet has been lied to massively from birth, about pretty much everything, and the only way you may begin to see some truth here and there is by studying history. Not the prescribed narrative you have been told to believe in primary school, and later all higher education, but rather the real history, as documented at the time. Do your own investigations into things that interest you. One down side of realising you have been lied to is that as soon as enough people begin to figure out the truth about a few things, like say:

    And many, many, many other topics, you invariably get the screeching harpies of complete bafflegarble idiocy, lies, and outright intimidation based on getting you cancelled, fired, and demonised or even physically assaulted and killed. We are referring of course, to absolutely dishonest things like:

    • Antifa in any form
    • Social Justice being about any kind of Justice
    • BLM in any form relating to any kind of Justice
    • Feminism being a good thing
    • Flat Earth
    • Equality being real
    • Diversity being a strength
    • The immigration of “poor war victims” instead of fighting age males by the millions from cultures that are incompatible with the civilised west
    • All cultures and all religions being equivalent in morals, ethics, and civilising value

    And on, and on, and on, of course.

    On top of that, men have now been percolating in the nonsensical invention of radical feminists and cultural marxists: “toxic masculinity”.

    Should you be a normal man, interested in, for example, hunting or exploring remote areas; learning to use weapons or practicing martial arts; studying historical conflicts, human biodiversity and different cultures; noticing the differences between men and women, and cultures and cultures, religions and religions, chastising weak, cowardly, lying men, and teaching your sons honour, courage, and anything from handling woodworking tools to shooting a rifle, you are most likely going to be labelled as some kind of violent monster that hates women, homosexuals, likes to torture animals for fun and is a sociopath. It is, of course, complete nonsense, and accusations that only radicalised feminists, virulently and toxically homosexual men, child predators, and completely dishonest people would throw at you. But then, their numbers are on the rise lately.

    So, let me explain to you, my brothers in arms, first of all WHY your critics are complete fucking idiots to begin with, meaning they absolutely must be not only ignored, but actively shunned and distanced from all aspects of your life, and secondly I will explain WHO your critics tend to be in the vast majority of cases, which will make the need from keeping them out of your life even more obvious.

    Why are they wrong?

    The reasons are almost infinite, but as a general rule:

    1. They are Historically Ignorant

    Now, you may think this has nothing to do with their criticising your “toxic masculinity” or your choice of weird “career” or of becoming a farmer in remote forests far from large cities, and building your own home starting out with only basic tools (but think about things first, eh?), or your personal relationship with your girlfriend, and so on. But it does.

    The recent somewhat humorous meme about men thinking about Ancient Rome on a daily basis is essentially true.

    Consider:

    EVERYTHING you see around you that can be considered a positive factor of civilisation, was essentially created by men willing and able to do violence to defend, protect, and remove enemies in the way of building those very things you appreciate today.

    Indoor Plumbing: Romans.

    System of laws that are still in use today all over the world in diluted and worsened forms: Romans.

    Roads: Romans

    Astonishing works of architecture never before seen: Romans (and Greeks)

    The longest and most functional of human empires in all of human history: Rome. The only other system of “empire” that lasted longer and is still functional —as a remnant— is the real Catholic Church (today remaining true and correct as it has for 2000 years only in actual Catholics (Sedevacantists)). And guess where the Catholic Church sprang forth to conquer the world with its truth, beauty and goodness? Rome.

    Literally, everything you see would not have happened without the Romans civilising pretty much the then known world. Yes by brute force. Yes by imposing rules and laws on the conquered people, yet letting them have autonomy in their own affairs. And whether you like it or not, the fact is that Rome, by civilising most of humanity at the time, opened the door for the next step, which was the even greater civilising effect of Christianity, which, let’s be clear, is and always was, and always will be, Catholicism. All other pretend versions of “Christianity” including the Novus Ordo fake “Catholic Church” are at best Churchianity and in many cases, actually Satanic inversions.

    But even if you step away from Rome, understand that every city you have ever seen or lived in was created by men. Men who fought, and died, against other men, the elements, wild beasts, disease, famine, and natural disasters, in order to impose systems of law, order, food production, animal husbandry, mining, smelting, forging, building, and improving. All while they also did artwork, created places of worship, contemplated the infinite and the divine, raised children, protected their families, and led them to what was best for them, often regardless of personal sacrifice.

    Literally pretty much EVERYTHING you see around you was invented, created, improved and built by men. While there are certainly exceptions and some women here and there have contributed positive things to civilisation, you will find even the best among them were aware of the fact that it was essentially men who had the objective perspectives of logic, reason, and factual appreciation of reality to make the necessary choices and actions that improved life for all. Florence Nightingale and her statements concerning women in general comes to mind.

    So, when so random effeminate male, or bitter, entitled, spoilt, pointless female criticises you, realise, that in the first place, they literally know NOTHING of how the world came to be so pleasant and easy that they can sit on their ever-expanding arse and pontificate about thing that they never had the intellect to even understand, never mind philosophise about or create.

    They are cargo-cultists. What is a cargo cultist? It originates from groups of tribes in the Pacific Islands that assumed that cargo (material goods, shipping containers full of new and wonderful stuff they had never seen before) would come if they pleased the gods in various rituals. In modern usage, this means something slightly different. The retards criticising you and your life choices are generally morons that haven’t got a clue about how to perform the most basic of tasks, like changing a car tire, or knowing what a spark plug is, and so on. They take all of these things for granted, as if moving vehicles (with their spark plugs, and tires and rotary wings and so on, and on, and on) are just a normal fact of nature. Apples grow on trees, and international flights and iPads just sprout naturally from the ground. And female Grrrrll power makes them work even better.

    This complete ignorance and detachment from history translates into a complete detachment from reality. The same retards are bound to think that a woman can compete in sports at the same level of a man, that mutilating your genitals changes your sex, that shoving people from different cultures, religions and backgrounds together by force results in anything other than eventual war between them, and so on and so forth. So, their opinions, are invariably completely ignorant and detached from reality. And have as much value, generally speaking, as the farts of drug-addled gnats.

    2. They are Stupid

    You can’t get away from it. They are simply not very intelligent. They are unable to observe reality and make effective, logical, reasoned, conclusions that match reality. Ignorance, even engrained through indoctrination, can be remedied, albeit far less easily than most people assume, but the absolute absence of historical context, constant lies spread by all mass media in its multitude of forms and so on, can make the best of us ignorant.

    That, however, is less excusable when you become old enough to make your way in the world. If you have any kind of functioning brain, you should be able to notice reality around you; and where it is intentionally being subverted and lied about to you in a consistent and ridiculous manner. In short, only a complete fucking idiot believes that a man can become a woman by genital mutilation, or vice versa, or that wanting to rape little children is just “another form of sexuality”, or that men and women are equal (or that any two human beings are, for that matter, including twins). Now, it is fair to say that one can be confused about a great many things, and not necessarily be an idiot, and I will give a few brief examples below to give a general sense, but anyone of middle age that still believes the absurd versions of the narrative described immediately above, is, without question, a moron. And why on Earth would you ever take life advice from a moron?

    If you are confused about a topic, study it. Look into it. On the surface, feminism sounds like a good thing, right? I mean, I thought so too at about age 13, way back in say 1982 or so. Because, on the surface, what did we initially get told feminism was about? Well, equality before the law. And who would want to argue that, right? I mean would you not want everyone to be treated the same before the law? Sounds good right? Except it’s not.

    And let’s leave aside for a moment the reality of who the luminaries of feminism were, and what they actually wanted to achieve and what their motives were. Let’s just skip right over that little portal to Hell and instead just focus on the supposedly “good” aspects of it, like that whole “equality before the law” thing.

    It’s actually fucking evil, and a perversion of justice. Roman Law (the original one, from Ancient Rome, now very diluted) knew this. Anglo-Saxon law, and eventually American “law”, being a gradual and increasing descent into hell, have steadily moved away from the fact that the law, if it is to be just, should NOT apply equally to everyone. Is it fair to judge someone that has an IQ of 75 by the same standards as someone that has an IQ of 150? Is it fair to judge someone that is biologically less emotionally stable because of how hormones work in their body than someone who is biologically more stable hormonally? If you are honest, while you may well (and justifiably) become fearful at the prospect of just how do you act fairly to everyone, the reality is that each individual circumstance, as much as possible, should be somewhat allowed for.

    Personally, for example, I have no real problem with women generally receiving lighter sentences for most violent crimes against adults. Take the example of say Charlize Theron. Her mother shot and killed her father supposedly because of the physical abuse she was subjected to by her husband, and imminent threat in that specific instance. Was it all real? I have no clue. Apparently she was found not guilty of murder because the situation was clearly one of self-defence. And if so, good for her. It seems a pretty clear cut case, and I have zero problem with the lady in question being perfectly free. But even if there was some question of it, in general, I too would tend to favour the woman’s account of things. It is —for the very same reasons that women did not build empires— generally, not usual for a woman to resort to deadly force as a “go to” response. Of course exceptions exist, the specific of each case need to be looked at etc etc. But as a general rule, what I am saying is that, while we know that women receive much lighter sentences than men for violent crimes, I don’t really have a problem with it. The exception for me is when women harm children, particularly their own. In those instances, the penalty, as far as I am concerned, should absolutely be equal, and when they kill children, the penalty should absolutely be death.

    Why don’t I have problem with the lighter sentences for women? For the same reason I don’t have a problem with lighter sentences for children. On average, they are less emotionally capable than adult males.

    Or to put it bluntly: Should a woman (in general, on average) receive a lighter sentence for, say, a shooting that results in a death?

    Yes. I think in general that is probably ok. Why? Because in general, women will also have less access to legally owned firearms. The training that I personally would like to have in place for people to own firearms would be far above present requirements. (Note I said training, not bureaucracy and paperwork). BUT, if and when that training is done and regularly kept up with, I literally would have zero problem with people (citizens of the country only, regardless of country) going about and being armed in their day to day life. Despite anti-gun people screaming till they are blue in the face, the statistics on this are absolutely clear. Where concealed carry of firearms is legal, violent crime drops dramatically. It’s not what they tell you or want you to know, but historical statistics on this are unequivocal.

    Despite the fact that the rules as I would like them are NOT in place anywhere, it remains the case that in those societies where being armed is permissible, most women choose to not go through the process. And many are indeed, scared of guns in se. As they might be of a chainsaw too. And that’s perfectly normal. I also strongly agree with men using chainsaws and not women, unless absolutely necessary. None of this is rocket science, but can you see how that translates in making all the rules the same for everyone, unjust? Roman law applies principle as a generality, but looks at each individual case on its own merits, and because of it, is an eminently better legal system than any of the ones currently in place in the English speaking world for sure, and probably the rest of the planet too. So, once again, an echo of Rome, but also, of the inability of the ignorant giving you crappy advice to think things through based on what’s in front of their own eyes at any given point.

    The same idiocy applies to pretty much all of their assumed ideas about life, the Universe and everything. Because in the main, whatever idiotic idea they think they have, is not even theirs. These people have never had an original thought in their entire existence. They merely absorbed whatever “fashionable” nonsense they have been instructed to believe. And it is so with literally everything in their stupid lives.

    Fifteen years ago, Russell Brand was supposedly this sexy, intellectual “naughty boy” that any woman would (should?) have been grateful to be bedded by, him being constantly described in the press as a “Lothario”. Now he is supposedly a perverse sexual predator that has been hiding his vile practices for years. The reality is that Russell Brand always was a complete fake with respect to being any kind of “intellectual”, he was an entirely manufactured “sensation”, and above all, as I stated way back then, in my opinion, always was a creep, and I am also certain he was sexually inept on every level. I would have bet money on it then and I would do so now too.

    But the same cretinous people that used to “love him” then, will “hate him” now. And not because they finally see through anything at all. Because they never do, and never did before. They simply follow the narrative they are imbibed with. These are not the behaviours of people you can respect for their intelligence, insightful nature, or valid powers of observation. So why on Earth would you listen to their criticisms of you and your life choices?

    And those two are main and general points that apply to over 95% of the morons that spew they idiotic opinions out of their drooling mouths, which is enough to discredit all of their opinions, pretty much, but please keep in mind there are many, many, more valid reasons, that can also apply generally, or more specifically, and it would take a book or ten to list them all in detail. I list only a few here for ease of use:

    • An inability to understand percentages, probabilities, and statistics in general.
    • As a result of their innumeracy, a complete inability to evaluate a scientific paper, a news report, or really any bit of information, including self-observed ones, for objective factual value. In short, they are completely unable to even be aware if a scientific methodology as applied to a study is valid or not. Never mind analyse the results of the study with a critical eye founded in statistical knowledge.
    • An inability to spot obvious logical fallacies.
    • An inability to follow, much less produce, a valid logical syllogism.
    • An inability to foresee obvious problems with a theoretical concept or idea. Even after the problems start showing up en masse.
    • An inability to select for logic over emotions.
    • A complete inability to design, perform, execute and review an actual scientific experiment of any kind. And the total lack of imagination to even consider doing so.

    So, yeah. They are ignorant and they are stupid. Really that is all you need to know to realise you can and should ignore their bullshit ideas about you and/or your loved ones.

    Who are these Critics?

    1. Human Wreckage

    Ever notice who the biggest critics are?

    I have.

    You will never receive as much criticisms from the human equivalent of flotsam.

    The alcoholics. The junkies. The permanently unemployed. The drug addled, pot-smoking, shiftless human shadows that perambulate life in a way that is analogous to the permanently sedated inmates in a mental institute for the criminally insane.

    Those who have made a complete shambles of their own lives somehow find it fit to give you advice on how to live yours. The mothers that failed their children at every turn pretend to tell their daughters how to parent. The fathers that failed completely at fatherhood will criticise their sons mercilessly no matter what they achieve.

    It is always thus.

    These human equivalent of sewer rats, will try to drag everyone down to their level. And this is true across cultures and nations. The ghettos of the Bronx are no different from the council estates of London, or the “case popolari” of Naples. Humans are generally, flawed, weak, greedy, petty-minded, envious creatures, and when one of their numbers tries, or succeeds, in elevating themselves from the surrounding rat-people, these will try to drag him or her back into the sewer.

    Because, ultimately, if that man or woman does escape, does become happier, more successful at life, a better parent, a happier wife, a richer son, then it tells the rat-people what useless beings they are in a way that even their unconscious mind finds difficult to avoid. In fact, the usual response, if that happens and they totally fail at dragging the escapee back, is to then try to claim credit for their success.

    If it were honest, it would be stated more like: “Oh yes, Johnny only became a successful man because of the alcoholic beatings he received from me, the cocaine fuelled orgies he saw me and his mother partake in during swingers parties, my constant adultery and taking my life’s frustrations out on him. I did all that for him. And the ungrateful little bastard won’t even buy me a new house! After all I did for him!”

    So, when you get criticised by someone, look at their own life in that respect.

    • What kind of marriage did they have?
    • What kind of children did they raise?
    • What kind of achievements did they have?
    • How successful at their chosen life paths have they been?
    • What are their biggest failures and biggest achievements?
    • What’s their drug use been like throughout their life?
    • What has their business or careers achieved?
    • Did they provide well for their loved ones?

    And if all of the above is one train smash after another, why would you care one little bit what they think, or what “advice” they are giving out under the guise of “helping” you?

    2. Losers and NPCs

    Not quite as toxic as the human wreckage, these are nevertheless people that while perhaps meaning well, (you might want to think so, but never assume it is the case) have an over-inflated sense of their own ability and/or importance. These are people that either have had some disappointment in life, tried and failed at something, or several somethings, or just plodded along without ever achieving too much and resent it. A bit, or a lot.

    Please do not mistake these people for the genuine, middle-of-the-road people who simply did the best they could, without lamenting their lot too much and just got on with it, but are not by any means captains of industry, or particularly successful at anything specific. Few things are as under-appreciated as the steady, normal people, who nevertheless kept their family together, fed, and relatively happy. I am not talking about these people. I am talking about the father who was never a good enough football player so he tries to live vicariously through his son and makes him go to training daily when his son would much rather take up woodworking, say. It’s the “I could have been Miss County of Whocaresatall!” And by golly, she is going to dress her 5 year old daughter in the latest fashion accessories.

    It’s the parents who, even though they did not divorce, when you announce that you are not going to university, because you really like electronics and have found a job as an apprentice in an electronics repair shop, immediately criticise your choice, because spending 100k on a nose picking degree in business economics gives you the prestige to be a Starbucks barista with a degree! And neither of them knows how to wire a plug, never mind solder a bit of an electronic components.

    In RPG game parlance, if you are born into a family of zero-level NPCs whose life revolved around selling clothing made by hand to the local nobility, and you announce that you are off to be a ranger, learning how to hunt in the woods, even as you study magic in the evening, they will naturally tell you you are crazy; you will get eaten by werewolves, orcs will rape you, and giant wasps will paralyse you and lay eggs in your rectum that will eat you from the inside.

    And some of that may indeed be a possible outcome. But while no one wants to be raped by orcs and become an incubator for giant wasps, the idea of spending your life as a tailor for the nobility makes being eaten by a werewolf more attractive. Besides, if you are only partially chewed you become a werewolf yourself and while not ideal, eh… at least it won’t be boring!

    So, while they may even have your best interests at heart, they simply don’t have any relevant experience really. And, more importantly, they do not have your heart. And heart counts for a lot in life. In fact, as far as I am concerned, without heart, what’s the point?

    So, what now young (or not so young) adventurer?

    1. Generalities

    Of course, the point is not to go off half cocked and oblivious of the dangers, obstacles or other things you may have to face.

    By all means, study and research. Figure things out and have backup plan A, B and C. But also…

    Don’t over-think it either.

    Remember that as Von Clausewitz put it, no plan survives contact with the enemy.

    And in life, that “enemy” is reality. And the ability of your plan to deal with it is a direct relationship with how distant the plan is from observable reality and the happenstances along the way. The more able you are to adapt, and yet continue along your chosen path, the more likely your eventual success.

    Keep in mind that failure is part of life. Falling down happens. You didn’t learn to walk by not falling down. You learnt to walk by continually getting up again. And the advice you may have got at age 8 or 9 months, when you could not speak and did not understand most of language, was mostly just so much babbling. And so is the mouth noises most of your critics make today.

    Notice also, that most of the people who do encourage you, who do say, “You know, I think this and that might be a problem, but man, I think you can do it. And maybe you can figure out how to even avoid this or that, or maybe they are not even things. After all, I didn’t do it that way, so you might be right.” Or who give you constructive criticism designed to help you stay on track and be inspired, are not the losers, not the NPCs and most certainly not the human wreckage. They are people that in whatever capacity have achieved a measure of success. Whether it is financial, emotional, familial, or whatever.

    I never had criticism of me and my ways as I did from the losers at life, and I learnt early on to ignore them. There is also a specific type of critic that is externally successful (they may be rich, or apparently want for nothing) but in reality they absolutely resent your own personal freedom. This can be from your own parents too as well as strangers or even billionaires. I have no clue about Elon Musk’s life, and I am picking him as a random example, and possibly totally unfairly so, but let me put it this way, I would not be in the least surprised if Elon would be envious of my life-long freedom of always having been able to tell whoever I want, to fuck right off, if I felt like it. And I would assume that Elon has a lot more to lose than I do, and as a result, paradoxically, is perhaps a lot less free to do that to the extent I can and have done. So, beware of those critics too.

    2. Specifics

    Most men who grew up in the Western world had half-stunted or actively bad examples of male role models. The easy life made the necessities of manhood less of a requirement and more of a cultural option. One that carried increasingly high levels of discomfort and risk in many cases.

    The changing “morality” (increasing degeneracy and destruction of wholesome ethics, honour, and traditions) also meant that your own fathers were under intellectual assault for most of their lives. My own upbringing, in the relatively savage African wilderness was rare for a Westerner to have. The realities of life and death are almost never impressed upon to Western men. Instead, a barrage of absolute nonsense is forced in their heads with a crowbar-like attachment to narratives intentionally designed to destroy the natural, healthy, heterosexual, European male. That is just an objective fact that becomes obvious if you merely pay attention and notice things as the are, and why they are being driven in that direction, and by whom.

    So:

    1. Study History. Indeed, learn about Rome. And Greece, and the Catholic Church as it really was, and what it really did, not what you have been told about it; look it up. Hundreds of volumes exist of writings by the people that were there in the first couple of hundred years after Jesus. And many more after that. Start at the beginning, not the fake end they tell you is the whole story. It isn’t.

    2. Learn Logic, Mathematics, Statistics and Probability. “Oh it’s hard to study…” Suck it up buttercup. Life is hard. Being a man is hard. Being an educated man is even harder. It’s also a requirement. Stop being a pussy. Get on with it.

    3. Understand the role of being a man and what it entails. Do NOT attempt to do this without having done one and two above first. You will be led astray by a lot of gay wolves in heterosexual sheep’s clothing. I will be making my subsequent blog post about this very topic. And you have plenty to get on with before then, so get on with it.

    4. Understand the role of a woman and what it entails, but above all, understand how a man should relate to a woman and how she should relate to a man. Again, this is a complex topic that has been vilified in every way imaginable for at the very least 70 years. Do not attempt to begin this without first having done the three above points and having read my very next blog post after this one, which will cover this aspect in more detail. Hint: Women are not the enemy.

    5. Understand that religion is pivotal. Not optional. This is a massive topic and of course, rivers of ink and blood have been spilt over it, so I am not going to bother doing more than I already have with my two books, the short one, BELIEVE! and the detailed one Reclaiming the Catholic Church. But be aware that atheism leads to mass murder, and so do many fake religions. Churchianity leads to fakeness and gayness (of the butt-sex kind, not the happy kind). False religions lead to dysfunctional societies, not functional, happy, safe ones that are able to deal with reality head on. Catholicism has been vilified and lied to from the start, and had bad men, in it and all around it, throughout it’s existence, and yet, in keeping with our Lord’s promise, it remains active, and has been the most successful method of creating loving, safe, humane societies full of beauty, humanity, justice and happiness. And this despite the constant lies, attacks and since 1958, total inversion of it by the Satanists currently residing in the Vatican. So, at a minimum, read a bit about it. My books of course save you a lot of time and give plenty of references you can verify by yourself, but it doesn’t need to be my books. Just learn the real history of Christianity from the very early days, as written about by the people that were physically there at the time. Then see if you can still refute catholicism as it really is, not as you have been told it is by pedophile Satanists pretending to be Catholic Clergy.

    And last but also first: I don’t know about you, but personally, I have always believed it is better for me to make mistakes or bad choices as a result of my own bad decisions than by listening to someone else’s bad advice.

    So, go forth man. And conquer life and do the hard things, and do the good things, and ignore the naysayers, the critics, the failures, the alcoholic, drug addled flotsam of life, the NPCs, the envious millionaires and jealous prisoners of their own failures. Build your life, your friends, your family, your community, based on solid foundations, leading a loving wife who respects and cares about you and looks after you as a woman that is happy to be a woman and act as one, even as you take care of her and love her, as a man that is happy to be a man, and acts as one.

      Reality is Quite Different than you Think

      This topic is potentially endless.

      I have blogged about the Maxwell equations. Written about the real history of humanity and antigravity technology. Written about the incredible abilities a trained human can achieve with the correct knowledge. And even created role playing games designed to get you to start thinking in certain ways that will help you in life, regardless of what happens.

      On this very blog, you can find posts on how to not just survive clown world (in detail), but take them on and win.

      And I have also written about Christianity, which I think is far more important… if only you really get it. Which apparently, quite a few people did, since, despite me being anything like a “theologian” and having lived most of my life as a Zen-Agnostic somewhat hedonist, over 100 (and counting) people converted to proper Catholicism (Sedevacantism) as a result of reading some of these works. And some are getting married in Church and soon will be making children too.

      But despite all of that, the sheer volume of lies, the scale of the deception, and even worse of the neutering, and in some cases literal castration of everything male, starting with children, and the weakening of the entire human race as a result, is sickening.

      I mean we literally have 100% confirmed pedophiles, with pictures and videos of himself with CHILDREN doing sexual things, being the son of the “president”. That “president” that can’t string a sentence together, is in all likelihood a pedophile himself, and worse, if some of the videos about “allegedly” him that were on that computer, are any indication, and apparently literally shits himself regularly. That guy, who supposedly got more votes, miraculously than Trump. That’s who’s supposedly “running” America.

      And cocaine clown pretending to be president of Country 404, syphoning billions and grinding human beings to meat for the sake of his habit as well as the money that is all going to corrupt Ukis, Americans that all have their sons working for some gas giant there and just happen to be the sons of “president” and senators and so on.

      And trafficked children, for sex, tortured for adrenochrome, and salt for organ transplants, all from the same hellhole. And the world slumbers on.

      The Barons of the feudal age would have charged the ivory towers of their “rulers” and replaced them very swiftly. But today, the bovine pre-eminence of fat, hormonally challenged, intelligence stunted balls of lard pretending to be humans is such that any hint of having to think beyond their next Big Mac, or fizzy soda, or porn, or video game, is an intolerable pain and injustice.

      So, what are the chances that you, yes you, dear reader, that tiny, sliver of consciousness that is still not completely brain-dead, come here, read this and pay attention to one sentence, just one, that is more important than all the others put together if only you would hear it. If only, you would take it on and use it.

      If only.

      Well, I can’t force you. And despite who I was for a long time, today, I would not want to force you to pay attention to it. I do, however, wish that all those who do not pay attention to it, keep well away from me. Please do. It’s unpleasant for both of us otherwise.

      You ready for that one sentence?

      Who am I to listen to, you say? No one. No one important. I have done and seen a lot more than most men ever will. I have travelled a lot, learnt of different cultures all over the world. From the Khoi-San of the Kalahari desert, who tracked for us and taught me how to find food and water in the desert as a child, to the semi-secular muslims of Kazakhstan, which are very pleasant people. To the happy, friendly, and often gullible and ignorant Americans, who, by and large, are simple, nice people, to the English. The Irish, the Scots, the Polish, the Russians, the Latvians, the Bulgarians, and many other people in between, from deepest Africa to the most exclusive gentlemen’s clubs of London. I have trained in karate and Systema until I could teach it and did, over some four decades. I changed countries and careers several times. I married and divorced twice and I am a father several times over.

      I have learnt skills most never learn, and read more books than most people read in a few lifetimes over. I speak and read at least 4 languages and a smattering of others.

      I have written books and planted trees, in case you were a Hemingway fan.

      But in truth, none of that matters all that much. From one man to another I am just a man after all. I have made plenty of big errors and probably will do many more before I die. I try to learn from them, as I can, as everyone does.

      But in all of that, the most important thing I found is one. Easily said in one phrase. But will you hear it? Will you take it on? Will you dig into it? Will you, in short, consider it truly and deeply?

      I hope so. I do. I pray you do.

      Here it is then:

      The most Truth you can ever find will be found in the original Catholic Church, which today only exists as Sedevacantists.

      That’s it. Now go dig. And don’t stop. Because even if you take it on, and even if you study it deep, and even if you become a full blown Catholic. If you keep studying. If you keep working at it instead of just sit on your butt because you think you’re done after baptism, then, my friend, you will find joy, and miracles, and literally a life you could Never have imagined filling your heart so full.

      May God guide you.

        I think Bruce Charlton is a gatekeeper

        I am not yet convinced he is an intentional gatekeeper, like say, Milo Yankmypolus, but he is undoubtedly adding to the level of blackpilling despair.

        I am more liable to put this down to his being the intellectual coward he is, as well as being a gnostic heretic, which, intentional deceiver or not, can only lead to Hellish effects, results, conclusions and beliefs.

        It is the reason I despise cowards perhaps even more than I do actively evil people. The evil are just servants of evil and must be destroyed or they will destroy you. But the cowards… the cowards backstab you and poison the well in order to be eaten last. They pollute the mind of the gullible and young with the lies of fear and teach them cowardice as virtue and courage as “bigotry”. They are the fog-fart beings upon which all evil is founded.

        And Bruce is an intellectual coward. Something I have evidenced before, and his net effect is to create only more despair and fear and weakness in all those who listen to or read his gnostic, heretical nonsense.

        Let’s take a look at his “take” on certain things.

        Here is a screenshot of his latest posts:

        So, out of six posts, we have:

        • 2 posts equating, implying or directly saying that computers/the internet and so on could be/are/would be influenced by or used by demons.
        • One post on psychology that is really quite absurd, don’t take my word for it, go on, read it yourself and let me know how it changed your life.
        • One on the doom and gloom idea that even if we try to fight back against the forces of evil we are only contributing to the overall evil and destruction of all and his completely nihilistic nonsense ends with the panacea that we must only rely on the “spirit” since all battles in meatspace are only adding to the evil. It is possibly his most cowardly post yet and the one I despise most of the ones I have read. Bruce is obviously of the opinion that the Spartans should have just gone quietly into the night, and so too the knights of Malta and everyone who ever picked up a weapon and fought the tyrants and won. Pathetic, disgusting black-pilling coward. It is enough to make me believe he is a gatekeeper and intentionally so, but I know enough to realise that the probability is more on the side of him being your typical, nihilistic British geek. All theory and no balls.
        • One in which he totally cripples the very idea of precognition, which, by the way is a verifiable scientific fact, as the meta study by Honorton and Ferrari has amply demonstrated (I discuss this at length in the book Systema) and which I also have personal experience, as to other people I know, then he carries on in his bumbling, intellectually dishonest and also ignorant way, to get Karma and Destiny similarly wrong and “defined” in the same crippled way he “defined” precognition. It’s not just bad, it’s objectively, demonstrably wrong.
        • Lastly, one in which Earth becomes some giant being that “chooses” to be resurrected and everything is beings… honestly, it’s like the fever dream of a heroin addict, a bunch of utterly gnostic rubbish.

        Bruce Charlton is your typical British geek, he clearly has been an incel most of his life and retreated in his specialboi ™ idea that he is very smart and has very important ideas to share with the world. Unfortunately his ideas are mostly delusion and as he becomes more despairing and probably lonely, he churns out more gnostic and heretical nonsense that if anyone bothered to try to take seriously could only lead them into the same pit of depression he probably inhabits.

        In short, Bruce Charlton is not promoting anything real that will improve your life, your faith, or, especially, your reasoning ability. He is a fraud and ultimately a negative one.

        Some are liable to say that I criticise everyone and are not sufficiently supportive of those that are “on our side”.

        Let me state the obvious again.

        There is ONE truth. ONE.

        It is the same for you, me and the entire rest of the Universe.

        Yes it’s true that none of us sees it perfectly, but where I see obvious error and deviation from what is absolutely true, I try to correct and help if possible, privately first, less so later and finally publicly when it affects things like the despair and salvation of others. Do I think Bruce Charlton is evil incarnate? No. I assume he’s your typically pedestrian Brit, unsatisfied with life and going about it in his quiet desperation, while sharing it with others in an effort to make himself feel more relevant as a whole, but instead, just spreading despair, nihilism, and heresy. I don’t care about Bruce. I am far more concerned with the people he might influence into taking his gnostic nonsense on board in any way.

        It would be better for anyone to join a boxing gym and focus their energy in becoming a decent practitioner of boxing. And keep in mind I believe boxing over the long term causes a certain extent of brain damage. Even so, I absolutely believe it would be healthier to be a boxer than a follower of Bruce Charlton’s “ideas”. That’s all.

        Nor is it true I attack everyone. There are a lot of enemies so I attack them when and as I can or see fit to do so. I have plenty of people close to me that are positive and good and with which I make plans for the future, and there are also the people I support and give shout-outs to, as, recently, for example, that German politician. But the snakes in the grass, the impostors, the frauds, the nihilists, well, they are the traitors in our trenches and they need to immediately be thrown out into no-man’s land as cover for our sandbags. Or to put it another way, with only one addition: It doesn’t limit itself to pedophiles and child abusers. It applies to all important distinctions of the truth.

          A Fighter’s Absolute Top Weapon: Mindset

          Regardless of your IQ, your reflexes, your physical constitution, your resources and your opportunity relative to your target, all of which are obviously important, there is one thing that absolutely separates the warriors from the LARPers, and the winners from the losers.

          A fighter’s mindset is the absolute foundational bedrock on which everything else that makes him a fighter hinges, and this is even far more important in real life than in set-pieces like a boxing or MMA match which have rules and are set in essentially artificial parameters.

          In real life, there is no referee, the fight is not necessarily directly physical against another human and so on.

          The last 3 years of total war have demonstrated that in order to depopulate you, personally and specifically, weapons of mass effect have been used against you. And if you pay any attention to these things, you will note that the primary weapon used was psychological.

          The constant media bombardment of fear of the deadliest virus ever known to man in all of human history, was relentless. A virus so deadly that it turned out it had a mortality rate lower than the common flu. Nevertheless, it worked. People were scared, especially initially when nothing was known and the fake numbers and fake information coming through was apocalyptic in nature.

          In parallel was run a massive campaign of economic destruction and psychological isolation and terror about your loved ones dying as well as yourself if you did not inject yourself with a genetic serum they SAID was safe and effective, but really was and is murder-juice.

          And of course, they used the state sanctioned force to impose house arrest, business shut-downs, and fines and imprisonment for anyone who did not comply with self-tagging with totally pointless masks and so on.

          You didn’t get the red commie bastards, freaks and totalitarian useful idiots charging your home with machine guns. It wasn’t required. They got you do do everything for them.

          They used MINDSET against you. They affected YOUR mindset. And if your mindset was weaker than theirs you complied. The mixture of psychological warfare, gaslighting and actual physical and economic discomfort was enough to make the majority bend and take the genetic serum as deep as they wanted to shove it in you.

          This was easily predictable on a simple basis: At a minimum, 80% of people will not fight back at all. And in the modern era, I think that number is probably well over 90%, but let’s remain optimistic and say it is 90% “only”.

          That means that 9 out of 10 people will climb into the cattle cars when they are told the concentration camps are really not so bad and it’s for their own good they need to go there.

          Of that remaining 10% very few would actually take up arms even in a real “we’re coming door to door to arrest and jail and forcibly jab all the no-vaxxers”. Historically the number is somewhere between 5% and 1%.

          It is true however, that if/when that level of direct conflict arrives, that 1% or 5% or whatever it is, will get some effective and practical support by much larger number of people and in fact will even be able to double or triple its ranks quickly if they achieve some strategic (morale boosting) victories. At a certain point, the straw breaks the camel’s back and then you will find no one that argues against the tip of the spear. Almost everyone will have magically now become “the good guys” again.

          As an Italian, we have a special understanding of this from WW2. We started out siding with the Germans, but as the Germans began losing, we gradually became pro-Allied powers, and by the time Italy was “liberated” we had made sure to kill Il Duce ourselves, to show what good allies we were. Everyone still remembers the Germans as the evil Nazis, and the Japanese as torturing freaks, but everyone loves the Italians. Well… except the incels, they hate us for stealing all your women and then some.

          But you see my point.

          Now, the beauty of the fighter’s mindset is that regardless of the weapons used against him, physical or psychological, the baseline features of a fighter’s mindset remain unchanged.

          And that mindset is simply this:

          A total devotion to winning the fight by whatever means.

          I can hear the hippies and their “honourable” counterparts saying “well… well… not by ANY means surely!”

          And that is the first hurdle. Every man has a set of morals and ethics, lines he will or will not want to cross and most would be very surprised to find out just how quickly and easily they would cross those lines at a run given certain circumstances. The primary difference between a warrior’s mind and everyone else is self-knowledge.

          I am under no illusions whatever about my ethical limits, as well as all the other limits, physical, intellectual, and so on.

          As the Greeks used to say:

          Man – Know Thyself.

          I literally went to Delphi in Greece, where that statement is said to have originated with the Oracle there. You can see images of that trip in the Image Gallery. And it is the foundational statement I have right from the start in my book on Systema.

          If you know yourself intimately and profoundly, if you have found yourself repeatedly in situations that went beyond your self-perceived concepts of yourself and yet you overcame them, and you learnt your true limits better, then you will have no hesitation in knowing where your personal “line” is.

          I certainly have no doubts on it. You can place me into pretty much any hypothetical or real situation and a “moral dilemma” is almost certainly never going to even slow me down for a fraction of a second.

          That’s point number one of mindset: Know your ethical lines.

          Point number two: Know your level of combativeness.

          This is to a certain degree inborn, it can be developed, curated, certainly increased and refined, but ultimately, the level of combative response is yet another fundamental thing you need to be very keenly and deeply aware of within yourself. And it does not apply just to physical confrontations. It applies to any situation that requires confrontation. It can be business, a rude guy having some road rage, or whatever. Mine is specific to circumstances and can utterly confuse even people that have known me for decades. Yet it is very simple. I react usually in a fairly de-escalating way with people or situations that are not really immediate threats, unless of course, they tickle my injustice bone, which is something rather rarefied in design and quality, hence quite rare in the modern age, which again, surprises people at odd times. In life-or-death situations or ones that can be such for people dear to me, then, well, some might pity the fools that go there, but I am not one of them. The response will be likely to be nuclear and permanent, regardless of consequences.

          Point number three: Emotional Control.

          If you can’t keep your eyes open the minute someone throws a punch at you, you can’t duck it effectively. If you can’t stay calm when the violence is about to kick off, you get tunnel vision and miss things. If you can’t keep thinking while fighting, you will not see the best opportunities. If you let your emotions control you, your enemies will use them to do so. Emotional control can only be increased by placing yourself in emotionally difficult situations repeatedly. It is, essentially, a desensitising process. And again, it applies to all facets of life. If you are too scared to ask a pretty girl out, you will never get a date with a pretty girl. If you force yourself to ask every pretty girl for a date, over time you will learn to adjust and not get freaked out. And eventually, asking a pretty girl for a date will have the same emotional content as drinking a cup of tea.

          Point number four: Know your triggers.

          Everyone has these, and you need to know precisely where they are, why they are, and be able to be non-reactive to them. Sounds impossible right? Not really. If your level of combativeness is extremely high but your emotional control is low, you will likely end up in jail later, even if you win the fight. Or, you might get the bad guy in front of you, but not his whole crew.

          If on the other hand you have extremely high combativeness and also extremely high emotional control, you will react only when doing so ensures not only that you avoid punishment later, but that you get the bad guy, his crew, his family and acquaintances, and his pets too. And will have the truck with salt delivered just in time over the ashes of his entire genetic line. Having triggers doesn’t mean you have to react to them instantly.

          Point number five: Patience.

          This is a difficult one, and most people that (think) they know me will laugh at the idea I could teach anyone anything about patience. Keep in mind that my last employer had printed two of my sayings and pinned them up on the wall of his office under the label Giuseppe’s Sayings. They were:

          • False modesty is not a virtue, and
          • Patience is an excuse for the witless

          And mostly it is. However, there are things at which my patience will wear out most everyone else. I grew up in a family of hunters, and learnt from a young age that I had a natural talent for waiting in order to get that kill shot, or find that animal, or track it. Then I worked in security and that same skill was honed when investigating people and crimes and frauds. The ability to bide your time when required, so as to get the best of your enemy, is innate in me, and I am not sure if it is genetic (I suspect it is) but as with anything, it can probably be improved upon, that said, I think a predisposition for this, if you have the other attributes too, especially combativeness, makes you a dangerous enemy.

          Point number six: Speed of Variation and Improvisation.

          A real fighter can instantly alter his trajectory if the conditions suddenly change or require it. This is something that has all the above elements in part, and experience and genetics as well as IQ to a certain degree all blended in, but can be dramatically improved by playing out scenarios in your head almost constantly and thinking of alternatives and situational changes. If you also train this way, it improves your ability dramatically. Systema uses many fun such “drills” that have unexpected, unorthodox components in hand to hand training, but you can use the same general attitude in (as usual) all aspects of life. It is a mixture of quick thinking, willingness to act at a moment’s notice, the ability to calculate probabilities on the fly on the basis of the multiple variables of a dynamic situation while being objective about your own abilities. The switch from patient observer to sudden striker in the event of a hunt that changes suddenly, the ability to throw your opponent off guard by doing the unexpected, all can be used in most interactions too. That chubby girl cockblocking you from her hot friend you’d like to get to know better and maybe get together with? Instead of remaining stumped or quiet at her rudely trying to show you up with inappropriate (and often untrue) public statements? Counter-attack instead.

          A simple example from my debauched past need not be as drastic, you can tone it to the situation, but to her “Leave my friend alone, she has a boyfriend and is not interested in you!”

          Instead of looking like a deer in headlights, you could instantly respond with “What? Oh you got it so wrong! I was only trying to speak to your hot friend in order to get close to you! I can tell YOU don’t have a boyfriend, and I’m into getting the plumper lonely ones away from the herd, you know, for the added meat when I axe murder them and cannibalise them. Come here, my soft, dear girl, do you like Chianti?” Anyone listening to this is bound to laugh, especially if they have seen the Hannibal Lecter films or series. And it also neutralises her. Of course it is also a filter for how “woke” her friend is if she freaks out at the “plumper” comment, and so on. In short, you have put the enemy off balance and at the same time undermined their position while still keeping the original target in your sights, though indirectly, for example, by turning to the pretty girl and asking with obviously feigned nonchalance “Does your boyfriend like fillet mignon? No, just you then for dinner?” The triple entendre is baked in (which I only realised long after I wrote this, during a second pass hours later to correct for spelling etc, because it is honestly the kind of sentence that just comes to me, the skill has become unconscious).

          The more dangerous a situation is, the more likely that the fog of war is more, and in those cases, being able to improvise can literally mean life and death.

          The above pretty much defines the mindset. Of course, resources, possibilities and so on are all important, but remember that third worlders with inferior technology by a few levels (in traveller terms), inferior equipment at all levels, and inferior training and opportunities still kicked the crap out of the most powerful military in the world. Twice. (Vietnam and Afghanistan). What they had, was a mindset that squished the American one at fifty paces with merely a glance.

          So. Focus on building up your mindset. The rest will follow.

          Here is a book/game I wrote to help you begin developing it and learning by playing, which is the best way to learn, how to imagine and resolve various scenarios.
