Men do not do well in "captivity". We are happier poor but free than rich but enslaved. As long as it is our choice, we are following our own will, and we are progressing, we are happy. The worst thing you can do for a man psychologically is give him the proverbial fish rather

To get more practical: the cure for depression in men is to formulate a mission, go off into the risky unknown to pursue it, become competent enough at the requisite skills that they can actually progress toward it, and then make the mission grander and grander as their

The men who are still depressed after this are depressed because they know they haven’t gone far enough yet. These men are meant for far more and they know it. They will cure their depression eventually, but only once they are really cooking as top 1% needle movers in the arc of

@minordissent Crazy how a high income and high net worth cured my friend’s depression

@SatoshiDeniz he's talking about me

@minordissent Sometimes it’s less about control and more about the weight of expectations we put on ourselves.

@EthanLagahid It’s not about control it’s about power. The expectations are trying to tell you where you’re capable of getting to. You shouldn’t delete them. But you do need to make them be patient enough to not get in your way. As an analogy, your high expectations expect you to life 1000

@minordissent Depression and stress comes from not acting upon things you know you have control of.

@sheldontrading anxiety comes from trying to control things you can’t control. depression comes from failing to have any control over things that matter. Usually, the former leads to the latter but they are technically separate processes.

@minordissent I bend every woman to my will

@Sauer_Works good start. now bend humanity to your will.

@minordissent Yup. I am in the bottom 15th percentile in agency, life is Hell down here.

@Noir15662 the first, and arguably hardest, step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. Maintain this momentum and you will escape.

@minordissent Well the environment fucking sucks.

@filthycoinfreak correct. your job as a man is to make it suck less.

@minordissent It’s mostly due to lack of exercise and lack of buying Bitcoin daily.

@minordissent Find small ways to take back your power.

@minordissent facts men are wired to build and create when you're stuck in a job where you have zero autonomy or impact, that weighs heavy the moment I could hire my own team and make real decisions, everything shifted control over your environment = control over your mental state

@minordissent Nothing is worse than feeling “stuck” in your own life/reality. Things may change, sometimes even for the better, but there is an underlying “sameness” to everything. Same stories, new faces. It can wear you down.

@minordissent Chimp in state of nature does not jerk off, but in captivity he does, wat does this mean?

@minordissent Fr. And an inability to bend his environment to his will is caused by mental weakness, a byproduct of physical weakness. So men, eat meat and get strong

@minordissent Not necessarily wrong, bad take though. Depression is a collection of feelings and sensations. You have to work on this level to move through it. Willpower has a part to play, among a whole lot of other things as well.

@minordissent Some men go a lifetime without articulating as profound an observation. Bravo.

@minordissent Men are taught their worth is tied to control and success. When life doesn’t obey that script, the internal collapse begins.

@minordissent That’s a crazy accurate statement Sir.

@minordissent This is the best thread ive read from u. Thank you geniunely

@minordissent it's the byproduct of losing momentum from taking action
