Many men out there are unfamiliar with "The Classics" - by this I mean the books that form the solid bedrock of western civilization. Books written by men and for men. Books that help unlock the cardinal virtues.

Were talking about a true education - the Trivium and Quadrivium. Plato. Socrates. The great intellectual works of western culture.

Some of you may have been familiar with the poster "GBFM" (Da Great Books for Men) who posted on a few MGTOW-ish sites over the years, like DalRock's forum. I will quote the eccentric warrior-poet:

Do not fail to Honor your Fathers by neglecting to live for the Classical, Epic Honor that so many of them not only Lived for, but Died For.

Do not turn away from the vast Gifts they bequeathed you with–THE GREAT BOOKS AND CLASSICS.

Begin today, begin today, all ye fanboyz mashing buttonz in your single-mom’s basements, all you PUA artsitsz trying to get your occkas wet in sterile bungholez and sterilized ginaholez made sterile by the fed’s before and morning after pillz. Begin today, all my fatherless, ritalin-addicted, gold-farming sons and READ the GREAT BOOKS FOR MEN.

Learn of the HONOR of your FATHERS form Achilles and Moses on down. The tiny-cckcoaaks white-knighting Churchians will scowl and stamp their feet and scream at you that Jesus cam to Abolish the Law, while Jesus himself stated that He came to Fulfill it.

When you were a child ye partook in childish things–in mashing buttons in your meaningless videogamez.

But now that you are a Man, it is time to Man Up, which does not mean marrying a babebrnekified beenrnakified butethxted, desouled, single monz, but reading THE GREAT BOOKS FOR MEN.

Begin today my firendz. BEGIINZ TODAYZ.

I propose that a renaissance in the Great Books and Classics is needed so as to re-instill a more traditional Code of Honor which will enrich the lives of men, women, and children, and liberate us all from the debt-financed debauchery, deconstruction, and debasement.

Many people wonder just what books should be read. There are many lists available. One is here, for example:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._John%27s_College_(Annapolis/Santa_Fe)#Reading_list#Reading_list)

Or here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Books_of_the_Western_World

These lists should get you started. I recommend starting with the ancients and working your way forwards - the St. John's curriculum for the first three years is quite solid.

All of these books can be found free online - which makes it almost inexcusable to not read them. Stop paying for Netflix and read something that will actually improve your life. Chew on some deep thoughts.

Epicurus, Seneca, Plato - all of them are great MGTOW fodder. Try reading Boethius's 'The Consolation of Philosophy' - it's a treasure.

Again, I urge you - Read the classics! You'll wonder why this isn't taught in school anymore. You might even feel a bit cheated. Some of the greatest works of all time are just collecting dust... Dust them off and pick them up!
