 Welcome back to the 21 convention 2017 10-year anniversary live event in Orlando, Florida Our next speaker is a very good friend of mine He's not just a friend. He's a veteran alumni speaker one of the most veteran at this entire event He has taken it upon himself to actually be the ambassador for the new speakers in this event. We have so many of So your next speaker is Socrates and He has actually followed this event since well, so he's followed me since before the inception We used to argue and stuff with each other back in the day on internet forums and got into it here and there But he's followed this convention since the beginning and he has been instrumental in Bringing it to where it is today and where it will go in the future as you guys will find out on Saturday So again, his name is Socrates. He's a manningupsmart.com and he's an excellent friend of myself and the 21 convention itself Come on stage buddy Really appreciate it. Thank you very much I'm Socrates and I help people understand and navigate the sexual marketplace. I Do that by using a cross-disciplinary approach of combining anthropology history sociology and then Psychology to influence how and why we make decisions the way we do Professionally, I'm an architect and part of my Education training development and professional responsibilities is leading and orchestrating cross professional disciplinary teams civil engineers structural mechanical electrical plumbing all together to create visions and structures for clients in often very harsh natural and social environments I Leveraged that background and those transferable skills To my influence with clients and individuals dealing in dating environments their Relationships of their marriages to understand their position within the sexual marketplace and what they can expect from that Many of my critics cannot speak to about many of the things I'll profess within Relationships particularly in today's age and there's a number of reasons for that Many is because they have no ability to do so Okay, right or wrong. They just lack the fundamental ability The other is like myself may have had gross concerns about today's sexual marketplace and the sexual political nature of our culture The threats are real. They're a concern Okay, and in many ways, I understand people not wanting to engage in relationships particularly long-term where there is such a threat exposure Ultimately, I think your destination is going to be chosen and driven by your values All right, and so it's why I'm willing to stand up here and profess many of the things that I do Today we're gonna be this this week in this convention We're gonna be talking a lot about red pill awareness red pill culture and many people don't know and understand it in many ways It's a euphemism based on the cultural movie the Matrix in which a hero was given an opportunity a free choice and A rational choice to choose to view the world as it is Rather than the way he perceived it to be the blue pill the alternative choice was that he was to remain ignorant He would be unaware of the realities around him Okay, and he would be able to live his life in a fantasy world Okay The issue with the red pill choice is that you're making a choice of viewing the world as it is as opposed to the world That could be or the way you believe it should be In many ways the philosophy is kind of summed up here So with a Russian proverb it's better to be slapped with the truth than kissed with a lie And it's a fairly simple straightforward approach everybody kind of thinks okay, we do this until it becomes a sense of reality Nobody likes, you know trying to swallow a jagged truth and in many ways This will be the first start Nature will win It's a simple statement Your consequentiality is debatable I'm kind of reminded of Robert Frost's thought that he was able to surmise everything he knew about life in three simple words Life goes on Okay, you'll hear it saying in a number of ways Rollo, I think written a blog post, you know famously saying nature doesn't care and it doesn't Okay, these are harsh realities. This is a harsh truth to accept. We're all due to a grave There's no doubt about this. The only promise in life is that you're gonna die The question is is what do you do in the interim and that becomes a defining element of your life, you know The summation of the entire time. What did you do? What did you accomplish? What did you stand for? How did that drive your life and these are gonna be some of the things we discussed within You know today's events in particularly mine There's an elephant in the room when we talk about red pill community for a community So Fascinated with swallowing truths and having others face that what is the reality that they're not facing or addressing? And it's a concerning one. It's one of the reasons why while I'm aware of it I don't fully embrace a lot of it because I don't like how they're viewing the format and it simply is this Biology commands you to have children your humanity should command you to raise them That is very much going to be a red pill for the red pill community. It is something. They're not going to want to swallow It's something each of you are going to have to look at and evaluate in your own life Do you take the red pill and embrace and prepare for that? Or do you take the blue pill and live the life you want to believe? The life that this doesn't matter that you're not obligated as a biological species to do the following the reality is You can address that in a number of ways in fear Anxieties you're not prepared or you can sit down and say look I know I'm gonna be facing this and Work at it bit by bit What I see a lot of times are people that are avoiding responsibilities accountability Okay, for any number of reasons it's going to be challenging. It's going to be very very demanding It's going to be incredibly difficult in its own right Add that to these cultural and social impositions that we place on culture today and you sit down and say I understand Why you wouldn't? The problem though is that when we get wrapped up into the narcissism and now We don't really get anywhere. It's short-term thinking It's short-term processing for long-term ramifications and there's tremendous dangers here for the individuals for society at Anna Hall Ultimately individually you're gonna have to have an individual response. It'll be up to you Ultimately your sex drive is just the beginning of your biological imperative Your entirely in biological imperatives are there to make sure that the species able to survive and reproduce Your sex drive your desire to have sex is just the starting point for all this It's not the end result if you don't go through that process You're not gonna end up being whole You're gonna live a stunted human existence You can build a wall of facts between you and this reality and God knows I had gone through that process You can see that with a lot of presentations I've had done previously where I was very concerned about today's cultural marketplace I was very concerned about my ability to be a father to be a man. What does that mean? How do I deal with that? But I was actively pursuing and investigating those things you can build a wall of facts between you and reality The problem is biology doesn't care that doesn't change biology life will go on Nature will win and nature doesn't care It compels you to reproduce it compels you to become a father to become a parent and that is an essential element of our humanity Nature also the hordes of barren womb the same way it abhors masculine impotency Your choice to be so struck or so in fear of your biological imperatives is willful impotence and that's a choice you make It is important to reflect upon these sort of things and to realize what you're doing and unfortunately culturally We've scared ourselves limp and Unfortunately a pharmaceutical blue pill won't be the solution here for any of you who think Hey sock, I'm gonna age and as a man I can still produce sperm and have children at 90 and the reality is you're right you can But there are genetic genetic ramifications to it There's an element of sperm decay associated with it and your offspring will bear those risks and bear those medical abnormalities You know that would be nature's way of saying your jizz ain't right Okay, nature doesn't approve And it gets worse if you're taking a lot of this red pill wisdom and yours You know delaying these sort of decisions and you're pushing that decision-making out You're probably not gonna mate and pair with somebody within your own social demographic age You're not gonna be dating, you know somebody who's in their 60s when you're having kids at 60 No, you're gonna you're gonna do the things that are being taught and cultured You know a lot of things we promote here of getting the best value you can get and that's gonna be typically a 15 to 20 plus year span between age groups The problem with that is there heightened medical risks associated with that When you take an old sperm factory and made it up with a new egg warehouse Nature says no, sir Your medical risks for abnormalities are greater than that of a single woman at 40 having her first shot vastly more dangerous and By the way, because men's health are so important this culture. We're advertising that fact. We're letting men know, right? You've heard about this constantly news, right? So these are the forms where we have to be able to talk about men's health men's sexuality men's culture and make each other aware Women hit a biological wall. We're fairly well known about that So do men doesn't happen the same time periods of did on a different arc But it does happen and the ramifications culturally and personally are no less significant Don't think you have your entire life to kick a decision down the road and at the last moment you can change your mind You can But you're running a tremendous risk in doing so and if you're concerned about your genetic legacy What you leave behind what you contribute to humanity? Put your best foot forward think about where there should be taking place and when When are you at your prime because ultimately past your sexual peak? Every day every anniversary you become increasingly in sufficient are insignificant to the point of your death The other one and I happen to really particularly love this slide and it's based on showing human evolution of The three billion years of evolutionary sex and this is just showing 14 million years Hominate evolution has been terribly successful and what I want you to do right now is you understand that we've had a Approximately 200,000 years of just human evolution Think about right now 500,000 Generations behind you of your history and you're the living breathing edge of that humanity that edge of your family lineage That's 500,000 generations deep. I Find that staggering just really almost unfathomable And then if you look at that sort of scale of picture and come to the conclusion Sorry, man. You just can't get it done You can't continue that legacy that lineage Because society got in a way Because culture got in a way because of I don't know what feminism I Understand the threats I understand the risks But at a certain point your obligation is to get over that and to be successful. I guarantee you this line More people there had a difficult more difficult time than we did We can't be lazy and weak about facing the challenges of our day and age We have family history here. You're living proof of it Honor that existence. I also want to recognize that the forces and challenges that we face are very very real I don't want to diminish that by any stretch of imagination just with this presentation I've spoken at length about men's rights about divorce law We will speak at length this week about Relationships the dating environment the cultural environment, which we stand these are very real constructs And if you're going to try to attempt to develop a relationship trying to develop a family My suggestion to you is remember the fable with the three little pigs Do not build your relationship out of the wishful thinking of straw nature and human influence Unconstrained well utterly destroyed Last week or two weeks ago. We had a hurricane come through I guarantee you that hurricane as much damage and how blessers it was Was nothing compared to what going through a divorce proceeding is like how your life is torn up Everything's absolutely in disarray These things are preventable If we look to it we train we do the appropriate Behavioral modifications and we understand the underlying issues going on within relationships and relationship structures When we talk about mating strategies The human animals terribly complex at the base of it We have three different brain structures as we evolved the most primal is is the limbic system the hind brain That's kind of the lizard brain. It's the lizard responses of fight or flight. It's a survival mode You can breed use a mammalian breeding strategy and that's that's completely works Okay, and essentially it's nothing more than fuck spray and split, you know skedaddle Okay, but the quality output is incredibly low the parental that input on that is incredibly low That's a terribly low bar for humanity the secondary challenge is the mammalian complex the midbrain and This is where you're gonna actually sit down and say where we have these pair bonding influences these biological urges to actually mate with Somebody kind of have a longer-term relationship with them stay with them for a period of time and wishful thinking along those lines You can do that too and you're gonna find in the red pill community There's a lot to be said about this and a lot of it's going to be negative Because unconstrained human nature just absolutely runs like there's no rules Okay, and it becomes very very dangerous, and if you're not prepared for that look out You're gonna suffer the consequences of it The third one is actually used in our forebrain the greatest brain We've ever had we're the only creature with that much of a developed brain. That is very human element to us What's really what's makes us human and utilize that knowledge to prepare us to train to develop ourselves in Response to everything we know that should be coming the things that we've seen historically the behavioral patterns and prepare us for the challenges ahead That is gonna be a completely unique human construct. I'm gonna advocate. You'll also have better rewards out of here You'll have a better quality life out of here. You're gonna die happy You're gonna die fulfilled. Why because you're gonna be complete You're gonna be you're gonna do everything your body naturally Biologically command you to do and you're gonna do it with all the preconception of forethought of planning and initiation and execution and You're gonna be surrounded with the net knowledge. You're gonna go to your grave Knowing you completed yourself if we have these biological imperatives How does it play out with sexual criteria? How do we choose? What's driving those factors? Bioelectric drivers are I stated earlier that they're unconstrained Okay, naturally and for men and women They're the same. Okay, you know, it's true for both sexes not just women It's true for both sexes. Okay, and it's a result-oriented system. It doesn't care. It just wants results Okay, which means it says the means and methods of occurring this is discretionary Murder rape cheating cuckoldery all fair game in nature Not civilized doesn't make a human we do it, but it's not What we want to promote it's not what we want to exemplify But if you don't know our base biological nature you can't guard against it You cannot prepare yourself for it and you need to be aware of what these things are
