The Golden One - I Was Wrong - But I Understand Now

00:00:00.500 Hello Laddingtons! I'm checking in from paradise. As you can see I'm checking in

00:00:05.880 with a quick update. I wanted to tell you all that I was wrong in a certain

00:00:10.500 matter. So I'll get straight to the point. Almost two years ago now I decided to

00:00:17.040 cut my hair and I did it to sort of transform myself into being more of a

00:00:23.520 role model. But then after a lot of meditations, contemplation, I decided that

00:00:31.240 that wasn't really my role to have. My role is a bit different and of course I

00:00:39.300 don't regret cutting my hair. I mean it's grown out nicely now and it made me gain

00:00:44.640 some additional perspectives upon my role in the grand scheme of things. So what

00:00:53.460 I realized was that I was a bit arrogant and in my hubris I thought I had reached

00:00:59.340 all of the the people I could reach because I knew then that I was shadow

00:01:03.840 banned on YouTube etc. So I thought I have with my unique appearance I have reached

00:01:10.080 everyone I can reach so therefore I will transform myself into something that

00:01:14.640 perhaps I'm not really as good at being that type of role model. Machiavelli talks

00:01:21.640 about lions and foxes. I was never really good at being a fox so I might as

00:01:26.380 well be a lion, a complete lion instead and focus on doing what I do. And on a

00:01:33.340 personal level if we're talking about gaining attention etc I have gained

00:01:37.600 enough attention to last me more than enough attention to last me a lifetime. So

00:01:43.580 it's not about my personal wishes it's just what I can do, how I can contribute the

00:01:49.880 most to a cause that is larger and more important than myself. So if I say that I

00:01:56.840 have a unique aesthetic with my hair to gain more attention it's to spread a good

00:02:02.660 message. And what I mean with in my arrogance and hubris that I cut my hair

00:02:08.540 again I thought I had reached the the people I could reach but I've learned

00:02:12.800 something now as of late as well that with the decline of places like YouTube

00:02:19.880 Twitter I got my Instagram and Facebook removed you go to different places

00:02:25.420 different platforms where you can recruit a new audience so to speak and in

00:02:31.280 doing so it's better for me to have my unique look. Now second part about being a

00:02:36.320 role model I do of course try my hardest to be a good role model but it's not

00:02:41.120 necessarily true in many cases and in many cases I also wouldn't encourage

00:02:48.620 younger guys to necessarily take my path and then it's more reasonable for me to

00:02:55.280 be a champion or a standard bearer of sorts for a certain idea for a certain cause

00:03:01.700 than to be someone to emulate than to be a strict role model in that sense. So

00:03:10.060 everyone has a different purpose my purpose is to be again a bit more true to

00:03:15.520 myself and in having my my hair I am a bit more true to myself instead of trying to be

00:03:23.400 something I'm not as good at which is then being you know perhaps the more

00:03:29.380 clean-cut representable role model you know we have other guys who can do that

00:03:35.980 who can do it a lot better than I can so I might as well focus on the what I can

00:03:41.840 do. Now to the last point I will talk about archetypes in a coming podcast

00:03:46.600 episode what I can say now is that I have of course an artist within me and I

00:03:52.300 use I create art with my own appearance and now of course I've been sun maxing I've

00:03:57.400 been hitting the gym quite hard I'm in a good shape and when I'm creating this heroic art as a

00:04:05.960 mentioned in my Sun and Steel book review it looks better with the long hair I can

00:04:11.060 create better art with the long hair and it of course goes into you know presenting

00:04:18.900 myself as a standard bearer or a champion of certain ideals so long story short I

00:04:24.980 don't encourage anyone to have long hair I have it myself because that is my unique

00:04:31.340 role I do certain things because it's up to me to do it it doesn't mean that you

00:04:36.860 should do it you have your own role you have your own destiny to fulfill and in

00:04:45.200 most cases you should always of course listen to what I have to say but you

00:04:51.260 should not necessarily unless you want to of course you can do whatever you want

00:04:54.740 with your own hair but I am still recommending for all men to have a nice tidy clean haircut

00:05:02.360 so anyway that was the update now you know why I have decided to save out my hair

00:05:07.980 again thank you for watching XXO BOOM
