  • Episode 566: The primary lie (you can't always get what you want)
    Oct 31 2025

    The primary lie is responsible for the vast majority of relationship dysfunction and the attendant relationship dysfunction industries, namely: the belief that you can have any relationship with anyone. It turns out you can only have certain relationships with certain people. However, people remain willfully blinded by their hope and their attraction. The truth is Mick was right: you can't always get what you want.

  • Episode 565: As little as possible (why men need to do the bare minimum)
    Oct 27 2025

    Women often complain online about men doing “the bare minimum” when planning and executing dates. In today's episode, I present a number of arguments why it may – in fact – be in men's best interests to do as little as possible, especially early in the courtship process. Besides enabling men to establish sustainable reinforcement protocols, doing as little as possible helps men separate the women who really like them from the women who simply want to use them for their own purposes. This is why men need to do the bare minimum.

  • Episode 564: Garden tools (how to capture male attention)
    Oct 24 2025

    In today's episode, I'll be discussing garden tools – but not the horticultural type. The fact is that hoeish behavior persists on the population level because it works. Women who behave this way know how to capture male attention and resources. That said, while it may not be possible to turn a hoe into a housewife, you can – in fact – turn a housewife into a hoe.

  • Episode 563: The prison planet (the nature of existence)
    Oct 20 2025

    In honor of my father's 75th birthday, I'm going to talk about one of his favorite concepts: the prison planet. Once you accept the fundamental premise of this model, a great deal of human suffering – past and present – begins to make sense. People exist in various degrees of unfreedom, and no one quite remembers how this happened. By understanding the nature of existence, we can make better choices with respect to our time on the inside.

  • Episode 562: Bait your hook (how will you be used?)
    Oct 17 2025

    If you're fishing for relationships, you have to bait your hook – because fish don't bite steel. Of course, this runs the risk of being exploited for your bait. However, you can significantly reduce the likelihood of this occurring with a little common sense. Just remember that you can't dictate what fish are supposed to like. Bait your hook appropriately and you'll never be at a loss for food. The only question you have to ask yourself is: how will you be used?

  • Episode 561: The spark (dating for feels)
    Oct 13 2025

    Many young people are in search of the spark: a certain quickening of the blood that supposedly indicates that they've found “the one.” However, dating for feels generally only makes any sense if certain conditions are met. Assuming the spark is a kind of signal detection software for your unconscious love template, following this feeling only “works” if you had a good model to begin with. Otherwise, you may need to move in the opposite direction.

  • Episode 560: Dread (understanding evil)
    Oct 10 2025

    The mission of this channel is to reduce unnecessary human suffering, and one way to do this is through a proper understanding of evil. One underappreciated source of evil is dread: the deeply unnerving uncertainty that attends awareness of our mortality. Attempts to both avoid dread and foreclose on it create a good deal of misery in the world. However, alternatives exist that can make life less hellacious.

  • Episode 559: She can cry (how to deal with an emotional woman)
    Oct 6 2025

    The sight of a crying woman can be a source of great distress for a man, which can motivate him to do all kinds of things he wouldn't ordinarily do in order to “make her feel better.” However, in most cases, there is typically nothing to be done. She can cry, and she is entitled to her feelings. This is dealing with an emotional woman.
