It's hard to deny the fact that the world has become louder. With our cars, planes, phones, music, it's hard to get away from it all. Even I find myself cursing the sky and everyone in it for ruining my silence with their Beoing 787 Dreamliners. Combine that noise with the average day to day hustle and bustle of the city and it's sure to drive anyone mad eventually. What are the negative effects of this noise pollution? In contrast, what are the benefits of silence and stillness? Why is it needed? What has it done for me? Join me in the episode while I discuss all these things.

Side note: It's ironic that this episode contains random hisses and clicks from my microphone. I know it's annoying but please bear with it until I can fix the problem. Thank you. 

Postpone your despair is a message of hope. It's a simple reminder that no matter the suffering you are currently enduring, things will get better. It's important to understand that the media uses despair as tool to keep you afraid and blind. The more afraid you are, the more easy you are to control. Keep your eyes open and notice the ones who want you in a constant state of despair, a constant state of submissiveness. 

In the life of a service member, it is easy to become a slave to our anger, sorrow, and depression. With countless people above us and below us, we often feel victimized by the very system we volunteered to serve. The truth is that you do not have to feel this way. You do not have to be dragged around by your emotional impulses. You are human and these emotions are normal, sometimes necessary. It's what you choose to react to that is the key. Let me introduce you to Stoic Philosophy and start becoming a more resilient, well integrated service member immediately.

This episode is for everyone, not just service members.

Have you not felt it? The universe calling you to your adventure? How much longer will you refuse it? How much longer will you delay life itself?

Join me as I discuss what it means to be called to adventure and what forms it may take. This episode was inspired by a conversation I had last night with one of my friends who is also being called.

Sexual Impulse Control is not about becoming an incel. It's about properly harnessing your sexual energy and its benefits. Throughout this episode I will speak about the Pros and Cons of sexual impulse control, both physically and mentally. Also, I will be talking about the negative effects of porn and how it's doing much more harm then good. A quote from Friedrich Nietzche inspired me to do this episode...

"The reabsorption of semen by the blood is the strongest nourishment and, perhaps more than any other factor, it prompts the stimulus of power, the unrest of all forces toward the overcoming of resistances, the thirst for contradiction and resistance. The feeling of power has so far mountain highest in abstinent priests and hermits."

Striving for greatness is an honorable venture. At some point in time, we were caught to believe that this pursuit is invalid. That it was "prideful", or a waste of time. I fundamentally believe that the drive for greatness essential for all. In this episode I will talk about reaching greatness as a process, rather than an over night phenomena.

Back-Building isn't a just a philosophy, it's a way of life. We are those who refuse to crumble under the burden of existence. We are physically and mentally ready. We are under no illusions that life is suffering. We expect this suffering and use it as fuel. In a world of weakness, we choose strength.

"The burden of life is a heavy burden to bear, so build a strong back."

I believe that modern members of society use sympathy as a drug. We use sympathy to avoid responsibility. We use it distract ourselves from the real problem. Most importantly, sympathy has been monetized. With all these factors at play, sympathy is losing it's value. The point of this episode is to remind you that not all your problems require the sympathy of others. Yet in contrast, I discuss appropriate times for sympathy and why it's important.
