We are all sickos

Who is a big fan of Michael Moore? And a fan of Ayn Rand? I recently saw "Sicko" and not sure why I've waited so long, probably because I've dealt with similar sob stories and I just didn't want to rehash them again. The movie got me thinking about these two polarizing figures.

We, Americans, are idiots, I'm not writing this because it's the popular opinion, but because of the following. We have many self-starting go-getting individualists who want to realize their own "American dream." I'm all for ambition, drive, dreams, tenacity, winners take all mentality. The problem isn't with smart, intelligent individuals, but lazy ass dumb fucks who think that they too can reach the top. What do I mean by that?

In order to accomplish anything in life, people don't realize they have to put in the hard work, they must have some talent, and plenty of luck. Luck isn't something we can control, we can create opportunities for ourselves, but there simply are too many factors we can't control. There are two factors that we can. Knowing ourselves and dedication. The problem with most people is that they don't realize they are just stupid.

Most people are dumb, and the problem with dumb people isn't that they are dumb, but that they think they are smart. First, they have these grandiose dreams that they can be somebody and they will get somewhere in life. The reality is they will forever be stuck at their miserable lives. So they start on these self-improvement journeys, even though they don't have realistic and realizable goals, which will lead them to several predictable and inevitable results.

The miraculous outcome is portrayed in Forrest Gump. It's a movie for the very simple reason, it's a fantasy. For the majority of people, they hold on to their dreams despite the contradicting evidence. Some even think they have elevated to the position of teachers, thus, they can hustle the former group.

This is how the whole predator-prey relationship is set up in the self-improvement market, and especially in seduction forums. If the problem was limited to these fringe groups, life would be great for the rest of us. The sad reality is that this problem is endemic and pervasive among Americans. We all think we will get to somewhere and be somebody. What we don't realize is that we will never get there because sadly, life is like any NASCAR race, there is one (or a few) winner. The rest has to suffer defeat in order to support that one winner.

Yes, we are sickos. Until we accept that the only way to experience the American dream is during our sleep, we have to wake up and take responsibility for ourselves. We think for ourselves instead of subscribing to this or the latest belief system, buy the latest method, go to more self-improvement seminar,... Stop dreaming, start living, and you know what get girls' juice flowing? When they can take part in our passions, they can see we are man enough, strong enough, and bright enough to do our own things instead of being sicko sheeps trying to live the American dream.
