The basics

Your brain isn't on your side.

Your brain isn't on team you and will happily throw you under the buss pandering to the shame-cave.

Fuck your piece of shit brain.

This line of reasoning questions the fundamental nature of individual minds, and the nature of free will itself. As MGTOW, we recognize that "feelings" will arise unsolicited in your mind, and often require your "conscious" intervention to prevent these feelings from fucking you over.

It is known.

But what about our so called "conscious" thoughts? Exactly where did these thoughts originate? Upon closer examination we trace our thoughts to our memories and the knowledge or wisdom we extract from these memories, but the actual process of specifically how we arrived at these conclusions remains opaque to us. After all, it's not as if we are just going through our day and decide, "Ya know... in 5 minutes I'm going to put 2 & 2 together and arrive at some insight." Rather, these realizations appear to simply arise in consciousness through a thought process which we cannot examine in real time, and had limited influence in constructing in the first place.

Where's the "free will" in any of that?

Your mind, like every other aspect of your body, is the result of evolutionary competition across deep time. Evolutionary success is defined by which mechanisms led to reproductive success, as opposed to success of the individual. It's the reason your mind is telling you to pursue young, attractive and fertile females, and the reason that the wall takes older females out of the reproductive dance.

It's all about access to fresh, young eggs.

Evolution is a numbers game and will favor anything that increases the odds of passing on useful traits to viable offspring... even if it kills the hosts.

So fuck your scumbag brain... goddamn traitor.

The trick is fooling your species-serving brain to serve up thoughts and feelings which benefit your own individual well being, instead the reproductive agenda.

The devil is in the details of course, and will vary widely from person to person, but the principles remain consistent. Since it's either very difficult or outright impossible to "hack" how your mind processes the dominant instincts like food, water and shelter, we first look to pick the low hanging fruit.

Our reproductive instincts fall into this category of secondary traits. Unlike food, water and shelter, sexual access isn't necessary for survival of the individual, and only really benefits the species.

Most of us will experience the drive to reproduction in a powerful way, so how can we reprogram our minds to mitigate the most destructive aspects of this instinct?

Let's look at a less intimidating mind hack first, before tackling the big stuff.

If you want to create a more productive and structured approach to your daily life begin with the small stuff... the smallest details are more readily accessible to us and create the foundation for how we approach the bigger issues.

An example of this would be, how do you begin your day? What sort of precedence are you setting for the rest of the day from the moment you arise? Even the smallest of your morning rituals will create an expectation for your subscious mind which will influence how you choose to approach the more complex stuff later on.

When you wake... make your fucking bed.

This simple act will create an expectation of productivity and order for subsequent choices you make later on. Once this tiny act becomes a routine habit, it will be effortless and allow you to move on to the bigger stuff.

So let's move on to a bigger instinct hack.

Most men, myself included, have a nurturing instinct to provide and protect our young. Maybe you don't have kids yourself because frankly nowadays it's insanely suicidal to do so, or maybe you do have kids, but our gynocentric society only allows you a narrow window of time to actually nurture them. (That's me)

How can you possibly hack your turncoat brain to fill this nurturing void?

I have been volunteering at the children's hospital for many years on the cancer ward performing music for patients right in the room with them. It's very satisfying, albeit heartbreaking, and serves up a fresh dose of response hormones my primitive goddamn brain interprets as serving my desire to nurture the young.

I do the same thing for retirement communities for the elderly.

Both of these activities are essentially producing a hormonal response that is in concert with the expectations of my hindbrain and satisfying these instinctive desires in a non-destructive way.

In fact, it's positively constructive.

Look for opportunities to compound these hacks as well.

Want to see an unadulterated lovefest unspoiled by reproductive agendas? Take your 3 year old to a retirement home sometime.

I have been a performing musician for decades. I really just enjoy the act of playing, audience or not, but the element of a live audience adds dimensions to the experience that practice does not possess.

I have a grown son and a young daughter, and both of them have been on stage with me many times during performances. This combination of a live audience, plus my offspring, plus creating art in real time creates a synergy of experience which is greater than the sum of it's parts.

When you hear people talk about actualizing your life, this is what they are referring to. It will be unique for each of you, based on many factors of course. Nobody can tell you how to actualize your life... only you have the details needed to figure that out. But the basic idea is to try and identify patterns in how your brain serves up it's preprogrammed expectations and find ways to satisfy these innate desires that don't involve ritual suicide.

So start small, and grow into actualization from there.

Make your goddamn bed tomorrow morning, then go about your day with that mindset.

Free your mind.
