I thought I'd share some prose for MGTOW searching for purpose, enjoy:

...

Freedom, in a sense, may be the greatest gift that I never asked for.

... 87. Fettered heart, free spirit - When one firmly fetters one's heart and keeps it prisoner, one can allow one's spirit many liberties: I said this once before But people do not believe it when I say so, unless they know it already.

Nietzsche, Beyond Good And Evil

You lucky MGTOWS... Do you understand the gift we've been given? We children of history...

Feminism (as a consequence of prior forces) laid bare female nature at the dawn of the Information Age. The idol of woman, worshipped by many men (even still), was smashed - illusions were dispelled... And men, with eyes still hurting, have begun to wake up from the fog of noble lies through history.

In this shining moment it is more acceptable than ever before to be an unmarried man (though the inertia of history is slow to change, and there is still a stigma). You don't even need a woman for the logistics of home economics, now, with labor saving devices. You can keep yourself comfortable with less effort than previous generations. Companionship is accessable with numerous online clubs and venues, or physical meeting places.

We live better than kings used to live. Hell, you have free porn on tap - the only limits are your imagination and search skills.

Nobles are we.

Allow me to return to the aforementioned noble lies, of which, we've been disabused:

Men have been told that we must sacrifice for some nebulous "greater good". We, in our paternal instinct, agreed. Thus, the noble lie was spun for the benefit of those who made no sacrifice. Countless bodies piled up through history, and, on the blood of our fathers, humanity stood. This is the vaunted "patriarchy". The vainglory of human sacrifice - male sacrifice - is held as a moral standard for many, even to this day (a "hero's sacrifice", altruism, selflessness to the point of self-erasure).

Glory is meaningless to the dead.

All those calls to action from women and politicians were like priestesses collecting a tithe, which men paid... in so many ways.

The paternal instinct was the dynamo that drove society. We were powered by orgasm, as barbarossaaaa might say.

The hand that rocked the cradle ruled the world by proxy, never getting its own hand dirty. Patriarchy was the slave morality of a breadwinner who obediently gave away his bread. Man has been so conditioned that he may feel moral disgust for disobeying the mother-idol. MGTOW are "evil" according to this traditional ethic.

But let's not forget our uncomfortable freedom; we are, instinctually, fathers - fathers who have been rejected. Men are increasingly unwelcome. Eunuchs and the finest breeding stock are welcomed, but nothing else. Men are generally unwelcome. We are thrust aside, and thrust out to the frontiers and the fringes.

MGTOW are frontiersmen. We are the vanguard of an inevitable social ground shift. We are, perhaps, too early (dreaming of artificial wombs, true equality of opportunity, advanced robotics, the changes to the species, and the shape of things to come). But we are yet too paternal, still; to care which direction humanity, and women, and the children of the future, will go. Our paternal instinct lags behind... This subconscious instinct weighs down our soaring spirits.

"Why do so many MGTOW care about the ways women misbehave?" I ask myself. "Why look on as feminists slay the golden goose? Pointing out the errors and injustices... Like a father might...?"

In the words of Randy Pausch, "if you're screwing up, and no one is saying anything... Then you're in a very dark place. - Your critics are the ones who love you enough to make you better."

The criticism... It is a subtle, unconscious, paternal instinct. We criticise women and their injustices. True schadenfreude is silent laughter; it is dark - it delights in watching the trigger pulled before watching another shoot themselves in the foot. It says nothing. Darker yet - to not care one way or another.

Women have given us our freedom in their exuberance of sexual liberation and political/economic "ascendency" (a stooping from grace which the "women against feminism" have realized too late). They are losing their power by proxy.

Real power is always subtle, like a shadow in the dark. You forget its gravity.

We are midnight men. Be careful not to correct our enemies as they are making mistakes. We are evil by their standards.

Do you understand the great, unintended, fortune which feminists gave men by rejecting us? Do you understand the power of a man who is truly free? This, on the eve of the Information Age! What a mistake women have made! ... And to our benefit.

One free man can alter the course of humanity, imagine if a handful of us MGTOW set our minds to something.

Unfettered by wife and child, a man can reach unparalleled heights: Few men allow themselves purpose, having been trained from birth to serve - selfishness being regarded as immoral.

Are you held back? Have you allowed yourself to claim your own purpose?

Your fate was to be early - too early for the future. Your future is someone else's past, however, given the noneuclidian nature of spacetime. Even ignoring General Relativity, you are the future of history (and vice versa). Do you understand your luck? It is the luck of a lone man on the frontier with a great and terrible future.

The feminists said "patriarchy harms men, too" (Bell Hooks). So be it. We've been cut loose. They don't want us; they don't want us "mansplaining" how they've killed their golden goose, they don't want our "toxic masculinity", they don't want our critical thinking (they want us to "listen and believe", instead), they are tired of our criticism ("slut-shaming", or "fat-shaming" them when they make poor life decisions, like the vigilant paternal watchmen we are). To their credit - they want to be free [of men] to make mistakes - it's how people learn. Let them fail, I say.

We were told to go away, and so we found (and are still finding) our own way.

This freedom was not asked for - men have always been driven out like lone wolves from the pack... But now... We can cut our link to the chains that have bound men to women, and redirect our paternal instincts. It is early. Humanity is changing, though, mark my words.

Fellow biochemists, we know what lies ahead. It's not even unique to the life sciences - humanity is changing in so many ways. "Evolution" hasn't stopped. It's very complex.

... You can't yet change your fundamental composition, and you may be stuck with a paternal instinct, but, perhaps... It was our destiny to be fathers of a different kind.

If you're still searching for purpose, I suggest that you become a founding father of a new history.

It was never your fate to have the traditional lifestyle.

But... One word of caution: all new systems of values are enemies of old systems... You have been given forbidden knowledge of human nature - you've become an enemy of humanity. Whether it is something as innocuous as VR porn, or as taboo as the eugenics of artificial wombs; we are subversives of what it has been to be human. Your freedom has a darkness to it.

You're one lucky bastard. When people envy at your success they'll say you've got the devil's luck, and ask you where you find the time.

Fettered heart, free spirit... To what heights will you soar?
