Speaker: So i did that little post, reposted that guy at the Alpha Male. Or Alpha Male, because you're following Alpha Males. Which is hilarious by the way.
Speaker: And I got some mixed comments. So let me just set this the record straight. You should have mentors. You should have heroes.
Speaker: You should read books. But the purpose of having mentors and heroes and reading is not to indoctrinate yourself, to assimilate yourself to be a clone of that individual.
Speaker: Every book that you read, you should accept some stuff and go, yeah, I can do something, I can do that, that could improve my life. And you should reject some stuff and go, that's ridiculous.
Speaker: The entire point of reading is to develop your critical thinking skills and to say, you know what, i'm gonna that sounds intriguing, I'm going to give that a shot. That sounds ludicrous, I might give that a shot.
Speaker: And then go out into the world and apply it as best you can in the situation that you are in, which is unique to you and you alone.
Speaker: So I am not hating on
Speaker: the people out there that are the podcast, I'm not going to mention any names, but the podcast people, the people writing books, people encouraging you to do better, to be an alpha male, whatever that actually means, I don't know. think the whole purpose of life is for you to be to know exactly who you are, strengths and weaknesses, and be able to apply your strengths and work on your weaknesses so that it best serves your life and the life of the people that you love.
Speaker: and the people that you work for. If you can incorporate those things and reject some things, then I think you're on the right path. I do find it weird when you have, you know, the Jordan Peterson clones or I don't even know his name, the guy that runs the school thing, right?
Speaker: And wears the nose tape whole time. Are you going to start wearing nose tape? Because that's what he does? Are you all going to turn into little Hulkamaniacs?
Speaker: Like that's where we, that's where you lose the plot. Where you are literally just a clone of the persona that that individual is putting putting out there. I think that's bad.
Speaker: I think the good part is for you to critically go through the thoughts and isaiah ideas presented and find out what's good for you and what's not for you. My thoughts? No, of course.
