His thesis is predicated on the acquisition and mastery of space, but he hates the suburbs because they're as constricting as a lawless city. In fact a lawless city is better because it doesn't hide from evil. He embraces the "pervert" of his name by seeking to know evil as just another flavor of natural passion.

Chimp in state of nature never JO, but in captivity he does, wat does this mean? In a state of nature he's too busy, to put plainly. He is concerned with mastering space: solving problem of life in and under trees, mastering what tools he can, mastering social relations in jockeying for power and status

Meanders about, namedroppping philosophers and misrepresenting their ideas a good bit. Some anecdotal lore about them about "why" they believed what they believed, but doing so in a way that misses the point e.g. Neitzsche never reading anyone else because he wanted his thoughts to be his own or whatever, which fails to mention that even if this were true, it would've been after he read Notes from Underground and had already been one-shot by Dostoevsky which is far less Übermensche than BAP seems to know or concedes in the context of this screed.

And it is kind of just a screed. Maybe humorous internet lingo, or grug lack of filler words from time to time. Huberman rejection of modern science, while still embracing some parts of the agnost-spiritual aspects of self-betterment without "the man." It's optimistic, rather than pessimistic which I think is what makes BAP a unique voice on the internet compared to RW doomers like Tate, Peterson, etc. To BAP, the world is your oyster if you "wake up, sheeple," but it's just a different strain of the same slop, very much a time capsule back into 2017.

His book as anti-domestication, virility, for this reason I find any mention of Neitzsche as a guiding star hilarious and self-effacing – he's the most cucked person of the 19th century.

Saddam Hussein was transsexual in his soul.

Uniquely BAPic sentence, I guess.

Argues that nothing about history can be trusted, that theres an unknowable % chance that all history before some early Christianic period has been revised, by the Jews or the Christians, etc. to retrofit antiquity

I found suggestion of Fomenko, that the Crusades and the Trojan War were really the same event, to be so disorienting that I had to act out in a very vehement and stern way that day later. At the lounge, when the bouncer asked me if "I was on drugs" ...and I pushed his forehead away from me in a gesture of majesty and power. I was soundly beaten up by his goons in the alley.

Dude is like an E1 caricature, like this is just a CT bit:

Imagine a Mitt Romney, but different...a Romney who actually was capable of acting like he looks, and was worthy of his looks. Imagine a younger Romney who rouses the nation to a new war, against India, through power of charisma and speech alone.

Asking the real questions like:

If it is possible to ejaculate without touching yourself, is it possible to will yourself to death just the same, without doing anything?

Even a broken clock... :

the greatest president was Polk [no explanation]

.

They fear men of power within the country more than they do the foreign army

Talking about anti-suburbs:

women must be excluded from such groups [which encourage violence, so this is a sensible proscription at the object level] and rather encouraged to have their own.

I actually think I agree with everything from that ^ excerpt through to 77 taken in isolation. Run of the mill "lift weights, praise god(s) [like, the sun, pagan-style], eat well, get sunlight, strive for ambition" stuff that just seems unfortunately co-opted by a certain Type of Guy (misogynist. Not a nazi nor a fascist, but not a "safe" person either). He refers to his bespoke Leviathan bogey man with the same air of mystery as Q breadcrumbs lol
