The Logos, AKA the article also;

Sum Pathos

Dat Ethos

This isn't some feelgood post on being authentic. I don't do container words, filled with things that make me feel like a man. It's more inline with my posts on power games or his much poorer thought out brother killing puppies AKA psychopathy. This is narcissism, the current epidemic in western society.

The Jist? People create their identities, their emperor, and get in a rage when you show them that he has no clothes. Instead, narcissism applied in a cynical way, similar to what GLO described in another post. Notice you still put in the work, lifting, gaming etc, still have the rational confidence, the difference being that moment when you turn into a blubbering retard as soon as your frame is tested.

It goes against the grain of 'frame isn't something you do, it's who you are', but it's done me a world of good. Taken me a good year to understand why though.

TLDR; Everyone wants to be Don Draper, but he doesn't exist. Instead, people become Dick Whitman, pretending to be Don Draper. Instead, you should try to be John Hamm. You do know this is just a script, right?.

Confusing? Will have to read the whole damned thing then. Also, part of the lessons I have taken from the 21 Convention, with included pictures. Rollo on Day 1, and me, just prior to going on stage and swearing for 50 minutes.
