I saw a couple of posts about philosophy, physical fitness, etc...
There are two ways to approach philosophy. One is a mental exercise to see if you can use logic and reason to discern truth and error. The other is to answer the question "What should a man do?"
The first approach is pointless and futile.
The second approach is something every adult man needs to struggle with. We are all philosophers, because we need to know what to do.
The answer to the second approach is pretty simply. Do those things that will bring the greatest benefit to yourself and society at large.
Namely:
* Physical strength
* Material wealth
* Family
* Relationships
Let me explain, and show you the counterfeits.
Physical strength means being physically strong enough to live comfortably. If you struggle with back pain and weakness, it means you cannot afford the luxury of being able to help others let alone become self-sufficient. Thus, you need to focus on building up your strength.
The counterfeit is the people who take this to an unhealthy extreme. You don't need to spend hours in the gym each day and bulk up on protein powder. You don't need to inject steroids into your body.
Being able to do things like run a certain distance, work for several hours at a time, lift heavy things, do basic calisthenics like pushups and pullups is sufficient. Of all the techniques to building physical strength, none compare with isometric calisthenics. It's a technique that has been known since the 60s where you push your body against static forces for short periods of time. For instance, you flex you stomach for 20 seconds, and then relax for a minute and do it again 3 times. But besides this, just doing physical labor is most important. Getting outside and moving around, digging holes, carrying heavy things, pushing wheelbarrows, etc...
Material wealth is also important. What is wealth? Things you want and need, that's it. You don't need money. You need the things that people typically use money to buy. But you can obtain these things other ways. I'm not going to say much more on this except that you can't measure wealth in dollars.
Every man has a strong urge to reproduce. Doing things the right way leads a man to pair off with a woman and take her as her own. Together they form a family and bear children then raise those children to become responsible adults. Doing things the wrong way leads to all sorts of problems. "No success can compensate for failure in the home", meaning, it doesn't matter how physically strong or materially wealthy you are, if you failed at forming a family it will all seem pointless.
Finally, building relationships with other men is also important. True friends will stand behind you, and you will stand behind them. You will trust each other and learn to rely on each other and together you will be much stronger than you would be alone. There are counterfeits and fakes in this world too, and it's important you learn how to weed them out. There's also fake popularity contests like elections and appointments and such that seem to carry power but really don't.
The jew would have us weak, poor, single, and lonely. They know that if we pursue any one of these realms, even to the exclusion of the others, we would become an unstoppable force for good in this world. Bear that in mind.
