Introduction

Have your music listening habits gone the same way as your porn habits? Do you frantically hit the "Seek” button on the radio while in the car looking for a more stimulating song, a new song, or just seeking for the thrill of the “high” one gets from constantly experiencing Change?

Can you not workout without headphones? Can you no longer sit on the toilet without the comfort of your phone to be alone in your sad shitting state for five minutes? Can you not leave the dinner table and get back to work without a little sweetness on your lips? Can you only read sound bite written material like Reddit because you lack the focus to read a physical book from the library?

If your attention span goes to squirrel while listening to classical music, then you need this post.

The question of dopamine has been on my mind lately. You must understand that when you are speaking to an average western human being today, you are speaking to an addict. A person whose brain has been fried. There is a look and vibe that they give off if you observe close enough – dead, droopy eyes without light, slumped posture, and a nervousness and restlessness that never plagued the primal savages. They skulk along unknowingly looking to fulfill the next urge. They have chosen the road of few big hits of dopamine at the price of many little ones. Believe me, many little hits is the better way to go. Temperance.

For the modern man there are five main culprits in the War on Dopamine. Avoid these five things aggressively and you actually have a chance of returning to the mental baseline that normal human beings were experiencing for thousands of years before these bizarre times we live in.

The 5 Holes to Synaptic Hell:

• Technology (Internet, phone, TV, video games)

• Fapping

• Music

• Sugar

• Alcohol and drugs (obviously)

But if you are like most of us and grew up with video games, computers, and instant gratification at the click of a few buttons to satisfy any fleeting feeling you desire, know that the neural pathways built up in you are largely hardened. Just like how when a smoker quits smoking but will always still have an urge for a cig no matter how many years they have been clean, you will always be somewhat fucked up. This must be embraced. Do what you can to mitigate the damage moving forward.

Just know that your digestion will never reject donuts like an aborigine’s, your mind will always know 50 frames-per-second commercials and Spongebob, you will never get the same satisfaction over a simple pornographic image as a Roman would. The slower and simpler life will never be a reality you can ever “return to”, because that was never you, even if you spend a few of weeks trying to get away in the woods. You’ll be begging for Cheez-Its soon enough when you return.

Notice how both fapping and music could and should fall under technology. Masturbation habits would be severely mitigated without porn and the Internet, and before the days of downloadable/transferrable music, you actually had to possess the skills to play an instrument to hear music, or the wealth to attend the finest symphonies the world could supply.

Most of the popular music today is little more drug pushing, carefully designed to stimulate, stimulate, stimulate the deepest and most carnal and base areas of a person’s mind. But people resist calling out music for this crime, because of the tiny resemblance of so-called “art” that they may believe it possesses. If you still like the likes of Kanye West… you’ve got some serious unplugging to do. It’s cheap, electronic, soulless crap and you don’t need to be an 80-year-old fart to see that. The problem is that people like it but they don’t know why they like it. It’s because it has got them deep by the Medulla.

What you need to do is this: Resist. Stop aimlessly exposing your subconscious mind to carnal messages and robotic trances. The music today is so powerful it can completely override your mind. Popular music has millions upon millions of views on YouTube because most people are animals. They are proud of it too and will viciously attack you if you try to take away the magic of their happy feelings.

Now I do love technology for all it has given this world – it was the tool of most of our awakenings. But Media and Technology are the greatest hindrance upon the spiritual awakening of mankind. It’s paradoxical because it has made physical life so much easier today.

To live in today’s world successfully requires significant levels of self-control. This virtue alone is what distinguishes the Red Pill man from the slavish-minded person of the Blue Pill.

Conclusion

• Red Pill men can be defined by degree of Self-Control. The irrational masses are driven by compulsions.

• Modern music and its addictive qualities are for many of us the lurking last habit that messes with our dopamine levels, largely unnoticed.

• Control and limit your exposure to Media and Technology because as the tool that provides the easiest avenue to newness, change, and stimulation, it is the main dopamine abuser beyond sugar and drugs, throwing off the Law of Risk and Reward.

Ask yourself with music just as when picking up a cookie: Did I earn this?
