 Now that the men are weak, most men are weak and beta. How do you get past this? How do you overcome this? How do you be a real man? How do you be a husband and a father? We are such a matriarchal society and we hate the patriarchy so much that we kick men out of the conversation and then that turns into hate and vitriol and that turns into bad family and then more men ousted and we've created mother nature and mother earth. And we're such a matriarchal society that we don't even realize that we've created a single mother, you know, with too many kids and she can't handle it, they're overpopulation, so who's gonna come in and rescue? Well, not God the Father, the government will come in. Don't worry, the government's gonna come in. The barbarians at the door, we are living through what will be a very challenging time. We will see challenging times. And when shit is a fan, reality exposes itself. We're exposing the enemy. We can't take this back until we expose the enemy for what it is and to say no. That has been the biggest challenge. That has been where we've dropped the ball as men is because we're too accepted. We're too tolerant. I'm calling for intolerance for evil. We need to be able to properly identify with the definition what is masculinity. A big part of it is being able to recognize objective standards, boundaries, and expectations. Something about drawing the line. We're seeing ideals torn down. We're saying that there can't be the best of anything. You know, no one wants to say what is good and what is bad. I think men naturally like hierarchy. They want something to be above and something to be, you know, so they have a direction to shoot for. We move away from this kind of hierarchy into this flat, linear, cure orientation. We lose our rooting not only as a civilization but even people as individuals. And it's really hard because everything about the way society is structured right now is geared toward pure orientation. Technology structures us that way. Breakdown in the nuclear family structures us that way. You see it everywhere and you realize how dangerous it is and how important it is for families to be oriented toward each other and maintain and build their own cultures as opposed to letting your kids have everything about who they are be determined by their friends. We're in a point in life where we need men to stand up and do the world things. And we can say that and people also need to do that. Yeah. We have very big monsters out there. We have guys who are actually doing the work to slay them. The weight of the world is too much to carry for one man. No matter how big and strong you are, no matter what battle you're fighting, it's always good to have brothers around you. They make you better. And I've learned that. The tribe of the gym, that important aspect of building a tribe of people who are of like mind, who you can depend on, who hold you accountable, who will call you on your BS. And I don't think that there's enough of that today. I've always liked, I love connecting things and people. Ideas, physical things, people, all this stuff. And this event is the ultimate culmination of that for me. It's really amazing. It's some of the most, it's easily some of the most unique work going on in America, I think. I agree. No one else is talking about it. I call the official tagline for now with 21 Convention is America's last stand for masculinity. I think it is. The event, and it's as a reflection though, the Manisphere really. The event is the event, but the event is the heart of the Manisphere as I see it. But when you listen to these men speak, there's some of the most educated, well-versed, experienced men where you can ask them any question and you're gonna get an amazing answer. Obviously the criticism of these kinds of things is like they're just for pickup artists or whatever, which that hasn't been the case at all this year. Nothing, almost nothing had to do with that at all. It's more about men improving themselves and that's why I've always liked the 21 Convention. With this conference, it definitely fills me with an energy that I have never got anywhere else. What do you do for yourself? Every day you do some self-love and you read a book and you're trying to always be better. Why not do this thing and be around other people who read the book and do the thing? And maybe it'll help you sling and take that aim for the next year. You know, you gotta make the investment, whether it's your time, your money. You know, you come out to something like this and you don't just come out and attend, you come out and you consciously attend. You exchange numbers, you discuss ideas, you put yourself out there. You know, you don't be afraid to jump into a conversation and start talking with these people because people who are coming here just discuss big ideas, important ideas. You're not gonna have that opportunity go into the bar on a Friday night. Not just talking about being masculine, but okay, you've done all the self-development. What are you gonna do with it? At 21 Summit, we're making men alpha again, rebuilding the patriarchy, and making women great again. Change you can believe in.
