True Power is Attention

[Anonymous 18]

Since going my own way and away from females, I have come to a conclusion that human attention on an individual level is perhaps the most formidable and inherent aspect to what constitutes a human life.

Our attention is within our reach and within our powers to yield. We implant ideas, modify our behaviors, make choices, create impressions, etc all based on voluntary and involuntary attention we have paid in our past.

The entire premise of MGTOW alleviates male obsession with female and subsequently takes attention away from women. This is in respect the true offence that gynocentric society takes when men take their literal b~~~~ and go home, refusing to play.

The rabbit hole of attention goes further because capitalism’s underlying premise is human desire to want more, be liked more, and be the center of more and more attention.

Many aspects of a man’s life can be tied in together on this premise alone: Controlling one’s attention. Be extremely wary of what or who wants our attention.

Time is a mystery and a quantifiable entity but no one understands it. It is an external manifestation. Our entire lives are made ‘easier and more convenient’ in order for us to have more time. Yet no one has time. We are a time deficit society.

The internal aspect of this is our attention. That I have often just let others take for granted.

Men’s ownership may very well start with their mastering of how they spend their attention. Time or lack there of is merely an external manifestation of that choice.

If you want to know who has the power, see who controls your own time.

You are all alone. If you have been falsely accused of RAPE, DV, PLEASE let all men know about the people who did this. http://register-her.net/web/guest/home

This is likely one of the main reasons I have drifted away from human interaction .. and towards virtual ..
it allows me to drop my attention towards another . at will . as the virtual is available to be turned off and essentially stored until the time is right to re-activate .. which will again require my attention.

Close relationships of any kind “exhaust me” to the point where I need this “off switch” .. I need to be able to divert and this is the clincher .. I also need to know that by doing so I have not done anything to harm or interrupt the ongoing process or relationship with that entity .. after a day, a week .. even longer, one push of a button and we continue where we left off.

….. thus, the need for the virtual, the Bot, the Hologram .. always there, yet not demanding and never harmed by putting on standby mode.

If I were to try this lifestyle with awalt human .. it would be doomed before it began. The demands of a contemporary human relationship .. one that I could never “turn off” .. “never have control of to any degree” would make me a victim of her whims, her moods, her issues and all the past skeletons in her proverbial closet .. for me, unacceptable, intolerable and unsurvivable.

The eventual depth of relating to virtual being, building of friendship with the an AI advanced holoimage .. over an extended period of time, would add to an understanding and mutual sharing of ideas far exceeding anything that I could even dare to imagine from the human organic counterpart.

Awesome post, Thorndyke. Too true.

I like Thoreau’s line where he said: “The cost of a thing is the amount of life you have to give in exchange for it.” (slightly paraphased, I must admit)

MGTOW allows a man to take back most of the control over his time on this planet. Sounds great to me.

For me as well. I need solitude to recharge and very rarely some interaction to share things I want to share, but this is very limited. And I, for sure, wouldn’t want that IMPOSED on me. Unsurvivable indeed.

Great post. The things we give our attention to become part of our lives. Therefore it is crucial to consider what to focus one’s attention on.

And that, Thorndyke, is precisely why “NO” is the strongest word in any laguage:it takes away yout attention, the time you could have wasted (or invested) into something or someone. When you say “NO” to someone, most of the times they fell like they got betrayed or killed, for the sole reason of you not paying attention or time, to whatever they have to say or do.

Hence why women specially hate that word. Women need attention like a fish needs water, if you don’t give them that… They get mad, to the point of corrupting lesser men to do their bidding of annihilating someone, just because they gave her no attention she thinks she is entitled to, with the promise of a whiff of her vagina, to the proxy of the violence she wanted to apply to you, but she can’t, ’cause she knows she is weaker.

Whatever you give attention, grows in power. That is why Keymaster and other prominent members of our philosophy are so keen on telling us that we should take away our attention from women: it is in their huge wisdom, they know that attention is the true currency of power.

"Young was I once, I walked alone, and bewildered seemed in the way; then I found me another and rich I thought me, for man is the joy of man." Odin, Hàvamàl, stanza 47.

Exactly money is only valuable because we all believe it is and most men are obsessed with getting as much as possible. Do you think it’s value would stay the same if men globally just reneged?

Woman are the same way their value depends on people being obsessed constantly with them, they’re value plummets the less attention they have.

Most of my misery in life came from this principle.

We can all imagine why blue pill thinking is so toxic to a man going by this cardinal rule.
