This is a requested video from Rui, who wants me to address the topic,
00:00:12.000
how are we supposed to be virtuous men in the whole field of relations between the sexes,
00:00:20.000
given the sheer instability, the sheer schizophrenia to the present sexual marketplace?
00:00:33.000
How are we supposed to uphold God's law when it seems like every choice leads to some sort of violation?
00:00:47.000
Now, I'd like to start this video by looking at the bigger picture of what's going on in our civilization.
00:00:58.000
And I would say it is, inarguably, an extremely effeminate society.
00:01:12.000
There is very little yang in this civilization.
00:01:19.000
Any time you show any yang, any time you show any activity,
00:01:31.000
You have just a little bit too much to drink before you drive.
00:01:46.000
You state your bold opinion at work in a polite and civil manner,
00:01:56.000
You see, virtue is the mean between two extremes.
00:02:05.000
Between the extremely active and the extremely passive.
00:02:15.000
The young men that race their cars dangerously fast,
00:02:20.000
or will get into a fist fight over absolutely nothing,
00:02:23.000
or will do any other number of foolhardy things.
00:02:38.000
That it's, oh, the consequences aren't worth it.
00:02:48.000
Courage is when you are willing to take a risk.
00:03:04.000
That it's almost never the right time to fight.
00:03:08.000
But when it is time to fight, you are willing to go.
00:03:28.000
well, just keep buying those video games and comic books,
00:03:34.000
Nobody is going to punish you for being a coward in today's society.
00:03:41.000
Now this effeminacy affects the characters of the men and women out there.
00:03:51.000
Okay, the very nature of our social environment,
00:04:12.000
They want you to be walking around stoop-shouldered,
00:04:21.000
Now for women, this effeminacy takes a different term.
00:04:43.000
See, a woman that is actively trying to be a woman
00:04:57.000
She is not going to throw it away at every single chad that walks into the room.
00:05:10.000
Instead, because these women are so passive with their emotions,
00:05:26.000
If you screw up and go too far into the active masculinity,
00:05:37.000
And furthermore, given that women are so incredibly loose,
00:05:54.000
So how do you hold to God's law with this situation?
00:06:13.000
Well first, a little bit of context of what exactly is God's law.
00:06:17.000
Because we all know the churches that celebrate the virgin cuck boys,
00:06:23.000
who are not virgin through any great effort of will.
00:06:28.000
They're virgins because they have no other choice.
00:06:39.000
Potentially dangerous men that can show the restraint.
00:06:47.000
It's easier to become a saint having been an ex-sinner
00:06:52.000
than it is to become a saint if you've never sinned out of weakness.
00:07:02.000
Take this modern crop of atheists that we have.
00:07:10.000
because he's always debating these people for some reason.
00:07:34.000
that actually goes and experiences life to that extent,
00:07:50.000
they really just use it as a cover-up for their moral cowardice,
00:08:00.000
to tell them that they're smarter than everybody else.
00:08:02.000
And that, oh, they don't need to be an alpha chad,
00:08:12.000
like that character in C.S. Lewis's Screwtape Letters,
00:08:42.000
Literally anything is better than weakness and cowardice and passivity.
00:08:51.000
You know, maybe if we lived in a different society,
00:08:55.000
where they were a little bit too active, perhaps,
00:09:05.000
But right now, in this passive, effeminate society,
00:09:40.000
if you look at the society that this came out of,
00:09:46.000
fornication literally means hiring prostitutes.
00:10:01.000
was doing it because he was spending money on prostitutes.
00:10:07.000
And I don't think I need to make a big argument
00:10:22.000
that takes advantage of the loose moors of the civilization
00:10:26.000
to rack up as many notches on his bedpost as he can get,
00:10:33.000
that manages to get women around him all the time
00:10:36.000
because he takes them out for dinner and has a fast car.
00:11:10.000
It was the fact that they were born into wealth.
00:11:30.000
And I don't think that's what you're worried about.
00:11:32.000
I don't think that's what most of you guys are worried about.
00:12:01.000
allowed themselves to get led around by the dick.
00:12:11.000
and sometimes they did bad things because of this.
00:12:16.000
There's a third factor to consider in all of this,
00:12:44.000
While there's no specific biblical prohibitions on men sleeping around,
00:12:48.000
there is justice that the fathers can seek out,
00:12:51.000
but these days the fathers are giving the daughters birth control
00:12:55.000
Fathers don't care if you turn their daughters into sluts.
00:13:22.000
Part of developing into a man is that you need to understand women.
00:13:50.000
it's like trying to learn hunting from a manual.
00:14:00.000
but you actually need to get out there into the wilderness
00:14:18.000
with them being inflamed by the pornographied society that we have,
00:14:46.000
You need to go learn a little bit of hunting first-hand.
00:14:49.000
You need to see how these creatures behave in the wild.
00:14:52.000
You need to figure out what they are at their very core.
00:14:57.000
Because women are something very, very different from us.
00:15:01.000
They are so different you can't even really put it into words.
00:15:04.000
Mencken wrote entire books trying to explain it.
00:15:12.000
And yet, it's the sort of thing that you can't explain to somebody
00:15:16.000
And the only way you understand it is you go out there
00:15:22.000
Now, if you want, you could be like Wentworth in my novel,
00:15:49.000
but he intentionally shot the tree next to the deer.
00:16:15.000
a rifle ricochet off a tree is far more evidence than
00:16:20.000
Don't you know the guy that convinces himself he's good with women
00:16:35.000
I can't tell you what you should do specifically.
00:16:40.000
Part of virtue is coming to understand all of these things,
00:16:59.000
And going straight north will slam you into some rocks.
00:17:04.000
At the end of the day, what you need to do is get good.
00:17:28.000
Because you've been living in this passive delusion.
