Imagine what would happen if you went to the gym to feel intense discomfort instead of pleasure. So much time would not be wasted.

LOOKS? BEHAVIOR? WEALTH? ENERGY? WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS? There was a moment when China started cheaply replicating expensive items. First, they did it with smartphones, then with other electronics and equipment. Later, they started creating replica cars and sport motorcycles. Once, I was walking and saw a parked Chinese bike that looked exactly like a liter-class Japanese sportbike. I was impressed. I thought, what a beast. Then the owner came out, started it, and rode away. And it was laughable. Everything about it was a joke — the sound, how it moved, everything. But it looked exactly like the real deal. So what was the problem? The problem was that looks are only a part of a bigger picture. When we meet someone, we subconsciously assign them a rating, which influences how we interact with them. Other people do the same with us. So what are we signaling? What actually matters for this rating? What matters evolutionarily for survival is capability. Are you strong? Are you smart? Can you defend yourself and attack your enemies? Can you acquire the resources you need? Can you dominate and influence the environment? That is what matters. Looks are only one part of this mix of signals. This is why manipulating looks, while it may achieve some desired signals, is fake and builds a house on sand. In the same way, our behavior signals a lot. Do we feel comfortable in our own body? Are we curious? Brave? Or afraid? Can we be ourselves, or do we submit to appear friendly? Can we dare to lead others? Are we afraid of conflict? There are many factors that signal our mental and physical state. You can try to fake them. You can memorize what to say, how to stand, and what to wear. But all of these are just indicators that naturally emerge from an effective mindset and a healthy body. If you try to mimic them, you will end up being laughable, like the Chinese bike. When you look at women, you like some and dislike others. Why does this happen? Because you instinctively seek a healthy mother for your children. Now imagine her undergoing surgical procedures to “enhance” her appearance to signal better reproductive fitness. Genetically, she is the same person. She only fakes the visuals to deceive you. All weak traits will still be passed on to the child. It is fake. When you try to fake indicators, you do the same thing. When you are actually healthy, strong, smart, effective, and free, you are a good fit for the environment, and you will signal it naturally. That is what you should be working on. When you work on faking indicators instead, you sabotage your life. And what is interesting is that, in the modern world, there is often not a big difference in time and resources required to get the actual Japanese sportbike versus a “cheap” clone. The energy you spend faking indicators would bring far greater returns if invested in real progress. My advice is simple: be real, pursue real progress, become great, and never waste time and energy on anything fake. And whoever like cheap replicas are free to be such. — Warrior's Path

If you meet a wolf in the woods, the moment you become scared and start defending yourself is the moment you signal to the wolf that you are afraid and can be attacked.

It is nature. It is evolution. Some species chase pleasure. Some pursue progress, purpose, and greatness. Some will go extinct, but others will evolve and rise. You are choosing your destiny.

"If you write something smart, people will ignore it. But if you pretend a wealthy or famous person said it, they start paying attention and liking it suddenly." — Elon Musk

“Discipline is king, motivation fades.” There is a deeper problem that discipline lovers don’t seem to understand. The army can force soldiers to train and do whatever it wants, but that won’t make them great generals. It is not really about discipline, habits, routines, efficiency, or talent. You can have all of these and still live a mediocre life. It is about obsession with your purpose. When it becomes the most important thing in the world for you, you will find the incentives, energy, emotions, motivation, habits, and everything else required to achieve it. Reaching a destination is not about transport or logistics — it is about how intensely you want it. You will always find a way to get there. That is why, instead of obsessing over routines and systems, you should think deeply and decide what the purpose of your life is. What is the one thing you are ready to devote your life to? Once you decide, jump into the river that flows in that direction. You will figure everything out along the way. — Warrior's Path

Why do you want to enjoy anything?

All the people who claim to have a high IQ post the dumbest things imaginable. It seems that IQ has become more of an ego indicator than a measure of intelligence.

If you understand money and investing, these are the types of assets you want to avoid buying. Remember: buying at the bottom, selling at the top. Do these look like the bottom or the top?

The dumbest thing a man can do is to buy a super expensive luxurious watch.

When a dummy sees something, he has dumb thoughts. When a smart person sees something, he has smart thoughts. There are 99 dummies for each smart person in the world right now. This is why, if you start presenting yourself and your ideas to people, you will receive 99 dumb comments for each smart one. Be prepared for that ration. It doesn't describe you. It just is how the world works. Each time you state something good and ignore the 99 meaningless opinions, you attract that one smart person. Do it for long enough and you will build a community of smart like-minded people.

Your prosperity is hiding behind your your fear, anger, pride, and resentment. Have you looked past these, you would live a dream.

Sheep could learn a lot from wolves. But they will never even think about them. Because wolves are evil.

You have been deceived and that is why you are poor. They psyoped you to price things in fiat currencies: USD, GBP, or any other official currency of your country, but all these are worthless. This is why you believe real estate grows in value. This is why you believe gold grows in value. People who understand money price things in the hardest money available, which is currently Bitcoin. This is the price of gold in Bitcoin. You would be rich already if you understood this.

You can send any amount of value to anyone anytime virtually for free using Bitcoin, but there are people saying it has no utility. Stupidity has no limits 🤦🏻‍♂️

The information is available freely. You can study how the brains of the smartest people in the world operate and learn from them. This is an unimaginable luxury. Watch this podcast and learn, without trying to judge or become defensive. Andrew Tate x Jack Neel Podcast (2026)

Most people are mediocre and don't pursue any goals, not because they're afraid to fail, but because they're afraid to win.

It was always about exploitation. The smart were always deceiving the dumb to exploit them. And in the past people couldn't do anything about it, as it was heavily enforced. But today, anyone can opt out. All the information and tools are freely available. Today, if you are not free, you choose to be exploited willingly.

There are people who desperately hate everything new, good, and effective. Because they're so lazy, unintelligent, and fearful, that they always cling to old safe stuff they'reused to. I know guys who hated computers, the Internet, digital filmmaking, online business, social networks, Bitcoin, and now AI. And everyday I meet more and more people every day trying to prove to themselves that the best technologies are a scam and a waste, because they were too lazy and afraid to learn and use them. Don't be a dummy and open your eyes. The world is progressing lightning fast and if you don't embrace the progress, you will be wiped into irellevance as the dinosaurs were.

As a man, the moment you start complaining, sharing your worries and doubts, and showing your weaknesses is the beginning of your fall — with anyone. Why do you need to share it? Everyone has bad moments and doubts, but why the need to talk about them? Children share them to get help. But no one can help you. Only you can. And only you can be strong. This is the path you have chosen and only you can walk it. You are the leader. You don’t need empathy or pity from others. Everyone needs to be heard and helped because they are weak. But you are strong. You just need to accept everything. Things are the way they are. But you can handle it!
