Probing the Matrix

Inside the matrix….

“If anyone tells you that a certain person speaks ill of you, do not make excuses about what is said of you but answer, “He was ignorant of my other faults, else he would not have mentioned these alone.”
― Epictetus

Rollo has become a sounding board for me as I sort out TheMartix.    What has been most encouraging in the exploration of self, has been how Rollo says, this will happen, and it does……   Rollo, I swear is Morpheus……

For instance, Angela and I went though an extinction burst.  Just like he predicted…

She uttered the words “You perfect for me”, but she just didn’t get the tingles…. Just like he said…….

On April 7th, he released Build a Better Beta, in it he finishes with….

Game has evolved into much more than just a set of replicable behaviors for PUAs to ply their craft and get laid. Somewhere along the way a man wondered why these behavior provoked the responses they do in women. What were the core elements that these behaviors and attitudes were operating on in women? Game is still about getting laid, but it’s progressed beyond just the practical. Game is really a catch-all term now for lack of a better one. It’s moved on to the theory, the principle and the psychology that makes us better Men, and makes women knowable. It’s very important that the vision you have of being a “better Man” originates with YOU, not with the idealisms of a plugged in moralist or women so fearful of your new awareness that they’ll make concerted efforts to supplant it with what makes you a better servant of their insecure imperative. Resist the idea of becoming a better Beta in girl-world and focus on being that Alpha Man as you define it. –RationalMale

Where am I going…well yesterday, the 8th of April, I suddenly had many hits on my “Art of the Pick Up”.    I was curious why, I have had my little corner of the Internets and not too many people have been interested, most of them with positive input.   Which is what I expected.   So I dug around a little bit and uncovered that Jesse, of the Love Manifesto,  had posted the following on twitter….

The art of picking a girl up? What do you think? boxsterpaul.wordpress.com/2013/04/04/art…

Wow that’s nice, I would be interested in his opinion too.

@jesse_leake the word pickup expresses a lack of value or seeing something as disposable or consumable. We pick up milk and candy wrappers.

MelMariner is pretty sensitive view of my wording, but looking at Urban Dictionary, my definition is reasonable, ok…  but what is interesting she probably didn’t read the article.  She denigrates the term to the worst possible.    In other words she is guilting my work….

@melodymariner ok semantics aside….

Jesse, bless  his soul gives a little defense….

@jesse_leake if that precious jewel isn’t for you then you put her back carefully for the heart that she will belong #manofcharacter

Wow, has she read the post yet?  I doubt it, just making assumptions about who I am and what the post was about.  But the more interesting view is this is typical from the fem-centric world.  Again shaming me, as if I just don’t care, yet through all this I feel, I am the one that was handled indifferently….

@melodymariner sure. But I think his term pick up simply reflects current terminology not his attitude

— Jesse (@jesse_leake) April 8, 2013

Jesse is right see definition, he apparently has read the post…….  if she has a better phrase I might be interested in hearing it.  But this is how TheMatrix does battle, guilt and shame, no real discussion.  Of course it is twitter, but clearly they aren’t discussing the salient points of my post, like Jesse would have liked.

@jesse_leake 25-32 yr old? he is old enough to be her father #gross and he compared her looks to last girlfriend #tacky women as consumables

Awesome, now we have fully engaged her, and she goes after the “target”, nothing of substance… Given my Rollo readings, I can only think projection of her own fears………

Some of my insight on the Modern Liberal mindset, and if I can be so bold the feminist mindset is the following…..

EVAN SAYET: There’s a brilliant book out there called The Clos­ing of the American Mind by Professor Allan Bloom. Professor Bloom was trying to figure out in the 1980s why his students were suddenly so stupid, and what he came to was the realization, the recog­nition, that they’d been raised to believe that indis­criminateness is a moral imperative because its opposite is the evil of having discriminated. I para­phrase this in my own works: “In order to eliminate discrimination, the Modern Liberal has opted to become utterly indiscriminate.”

That is the fulcrum of her debate, I have discriminated, it is the ultimate evil.  I have vocalized my opinion of the world in discriminate terms, I find attractive women attractive, most of the time, they are younger.   Now to flip the argument, what concern is it of hers?   Does Mariner feel the same way about “How unrequited love can torture your soul for ever” ? (H/T Heartiste)  I am guessing she sides with the women in the article, does she think it “Tacky”?

The crux of this post though is more about my reaction.   When I first saw her post I went weak, I thought I should try to clarify myself, differentiate myself from PUA community.   Again Rollo with Nice Like Me, I stand corrected.   Thinking about it in terms of TheMatrix.  I understood TheMatrix as Rollo has described it.    Now I realize this is what I need to wrap my mind around, this is what I am up against, this TheMatrix being probed and not liking it.  Again Rollo writes signal,  women and many men will take offense as I become a better man, the Man that originates within me….
