Here's a controversial and politically incorrect claim: Men value truth more than women.

The masculine and the feminine do not have a symmetrical relationship to truth. Yet the general public assumes the relationship is symmetrical. But remember, nowhere in the universe is it writ that men and women should have equal access to truth. There may be important survival reasons why the masculine orientation has easier access to truth than the feminine. I propose that's the case.

The most important psychological difference between the masculine and feminine is that the feminine prefers to prioritize feelings above truth — to make others feel loved. The masculine prefers the opposite. If you put a woman in a position to tell a child something truthful but hurtful, the woman will look for a way to soften the blow to save the child's feelings, including distortion or lying. This difference in attitude is obviously not arbitrary nor trivial. This tradeoff is necessary for mothering, for raising children. But, notice, this is a bias borne of survival. Survival places the feminine at a natural disadvantage with truth. Of course this is a tradeoff. The feminine gains in other areas, so it's not all bad for them.

Truth is more important to men because men require truth to be effective. Women need effectiveness less since their organic role is to raise children. Raising children requires trading off effectiveness for warmth. Women also require more social enmeshment for survival more than men. Which is why women have higher social skills. Women are more socially intelligent, and warmth and kindness is more effective for social survival. A woman is less able to survive solo than a man. Which is why women are attracted to good providers.

Men require effectiveness in order to be providers. Winning a war for your tribe requires that you prioritize brutal truth over warmth and feelings. There is no room for compassion and empathy in war. Nor in business, which is just war by other means. Business leaders require making brutal, cold, calculated, rational decisions. Business leadership is a masculine game. Not that women cannot play it, but any woman doing it starts to act in a masculine way. Businesswomen are basically men with vaginas. They sacrifice femininity for success and effectiveness. They learn to be cold and ruthless in order to compete. This is most noticeable at the highest business positions where billions and trillions of dollars are at stake. I'm talking about Fortune 500 companies, not small mom-and-pop shops where ruthlessness is not needed. It's easy to remain feminine while running a mom-and-pop shop, not so much if you're running Walmart, Exxon-Mobile, Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, the Pentagon, the CIA, or Syria.

This is why the masculine values truth more than the feminine. The feminine outsources effectiveness to the provider, the man. Women don't need to care about truth as much as men because they have men handle the bloodiest truths for them. But if all women had to wage wars and lead billion dollar corporations, they would care about truth a lot more. Because truth is needed to be effective. Placing feelings over truth makes you ineffective at raw survival. However, it makes you highly effective at human relations and social survival.

In a war, getting to the truth is a matter of life and death and requires torturing people. Which is why men do the warring and the torturing, not the women. If a woman was placed in charge of a war, she would not be ruthless enough to win it. Or, if she became ruthless enough to win it, she would do it by sacrificing her femininity. War turns a woman into a man. Any brutal life-and-death survival situation will turn a woman into a man. Because it's easier to survive that way.

Yes, war requires lots of lying and deception. That should be obvious you if you follow my work. But what's less obvious is that war also demands truth. Without truth you cannot win a war and you cannot succeed in business, because your plans and actions must align with harsh external realities. You must know the objective truth about the battlefield, about your enemies, about the marketplace, about the terrain. If you delude yourself about your competition, your competition will bury you. If you delude yourself about your environment, the environment will swallow you alive like the African jungle, like the turbulent ocean. How many commanders, explorers, generals were swallowed by the Earth, never to be heard from again? A truthful map is life, a fictitious map is death.

One of the reasons why I care about truth so much is not just for its own sake. I've cared about truth from a young age because I knew I needed cold hard truth in order to achieve my ambitious life goals, to pull myself up by my bootstraps, to succeed financially in business. To succeed in boostrapping a business with no one else's capital, where all the risk of failure is borne by you, you must be ruthless in cutting through fantasy. Why did I succeed in gaining financial independence when most people fail? Because I was ruthless with myself about the realities of business. I have no illusions about what evil is necessary to earn big money. I had to be ruthless and brutally honest with myself because I had no one else's money to fail with. I had to select my business projects with zero margin for error. No investor, no sugar-daddy, no man was going to save me if I failed. Nothing leads to business failure as surely as fantasy and delusion. When you have someone else providing for you, even just investors, fantasy is tenable. When you have no one to help you, no resources, and no margin for error — fantasy is your mortal enemy.

The more someone else handles your survival for you, provides for you, protects you — the less you need to worry about truth. Adults insulate children from truth. Women use men to insulate themselves from truth (generally speaking). And 1st world welfare states insulate people at large from truth. You will never care more about truth than when you live 100% solo. When your survival is 100% your responsibility, when there is no supermarket, no gas station, no restaurant, no restroom, no hospital around the corner — you will get real serious about truth. This explains why citizens of 1st world democracies are some of the most delusional people, spoiled by abundance of social infrastructure. When all you do is live off your daddy's wealth, play video games, scroll through TikTok, and smoke weed with friends, you don't need to care about truth. But if you are trying to build a conscious business from scratch that advances mankind with zero safety-net, truth is your master.

So, anyways, this is the ultimate reason why there have traditionally been more male gurus and enlightened masters. Because what woman is going to leave her newborn children behind to seek enlightenment in a cave? That action is far more suitable for a man than a woman. To prioritize truth over everything and everyone else — is a hell of a thing, and it comes more naturally to men than women. Of course female mystics, yogis, and nuns exist. And there are witches and fortune-tellers. But my general point stands.

These are some deep insights into the nature of men and women that took me over a decade to understand.

Note: Be careful. Just because the masculine has an advantage with truth does not mean most men are truthful. Most humans simply don't care about truth, regardless of their gender or orientation. Caring about truth is very rare quality. Most men are bullshitters.

Note: I am not saying some women cannot care about truth more than men. I am speaking broadly. There will always be exceptional women who value truth more than men, but this is a rarity.

Note: Truth is not a singular thing. There are masculine and feminine versions of it, which complicate this matter and I don't have time to explain here. Women have their own feminine way of doing truth.

Note: Do not use this insight to hate on women. Never use my insights and teachings to grind your axe against womankind. Your bitterness and resentment of women is a corruption. Do not use the things I say to justify some shamelessly self-serving Manosphere, Blackpill, Incel, Redpill, anti-feminist narrative. Truth means understanding women and respecting them for what they are, not what you need them to be. Manosphere narratives about women are NOT truth, they are self-biased group-think. Do not abuse what I teach you.

This lady dishes dirt on Osho's cult, the one featured in the documentary Wild Wild Country. She was inside the cult as a 12 year old girl and got sexually abused. The Osho cult sexually abused many children, which wasn't even mentioned in the Wild Wild Country documentary. Things were much worse than the documentary showed.

This is what happens when liberalism goes too far. "Free love" and such. There are good reasons why mainstream culture is conservative about sex. Because "free love" is a foolish and dangerous notion. Love is never free. In practice "free love" means your 16 year old daughter will be groomed to sleep with 100 men. Unconscious and undeveloped people cannot be trusted with freedom. Which is why conservatism is such a powerful and omnipresent force.

Osho was a fucking devil for creating this kind of community. He was intelligent enough to know better, yet he basked in the material fruits of his corruption.

Many real and accurate insights here.

Warning: It's harsh and difficult information to accept. Don't listen to this if you are already depressed about your mating situation. You need to take action rather than listening to more theory.

Do not get wrapped up thinking about the theory of the sexual marketplace. That will sabotage your results. Go out frequently, socialize, and approach. Worrying about the sexual marketplace does nothing to advance you. You need to understand the realities of the sexual marketplace without ruminating on them. Learn the realities but then go out and socialize as if you knew none of it. The more you socialize the more mates you'll find regardless of how you look or anything else. If you ruminate on the realities of the sexual marketplace you'll just become depressed and unmotivated to take action. Taking action is the most important thing here. Worrying and feeling bad about your situation gets you nowhere. This is extremely counter-intuitive because you will want to feel bad about the unfairness of your situation. You must cut out those lines of thought from your mind and just take action. This will make the difference between success and years of misery.

This fucks with your mind. It shows you how arbitrary human categories of thinking are. That's ultimately why conservatives are so transphobic. The conservative mind cannot stomach its mental categories getting deconstructed. Trans is a deconstruction of masculine/feminine stereotypes which everyone takes for granted. Conservative transphobia is literally denial of metaphysics. Because all conservatives have horseshit metaphysics. Because conservatism is just group-think and unconscious survival.

This is what happens when you just let ego run your life and everyone around you applauds you for being an ego-maniac. Our sick capitalist culture rewards people for being sick public spectacles for profit. The sicker the man, the more clicks, the higher the profits. Capitalism breeds devils.

That's what low development looks like.
