Alexander the Great Traveled and conquered nearly half the world in his twenties while leading thousands of men
Today's 20-year-old males: still living at home with their parents playing videogames, rarely venturing outside their town despite the existence of all sorts of modern transportation
What went wrong and how do we fix this epidemic of young men living like neutered failures?
Gabriel Roberts
Society did the neutering.
Males are reacting naturally to a world that condemns their very existence.
Jaxon Barnes
He wasn't just some pleb, he was a prince, son of a powerful king. >rarely venturing outside their town Throughout history most people didn't travel very far.
Gabriel Cox
>forgetting Caesar himself fell to his knees and wept at the foot of a statue of Alexander, lamenting his own lack of accomplishments for his age compared to Alexander
Dylan Jenkins
Alexander descended from Hercules, dumbass. I on the other hand question whether I'm even white.
Owen Garcia
Destroy the internet and all memories of it (even if that means killing everyone who ever used it)
the internet is the end of society.
Without limits and small communities this is just how people turn out.
Henry Carter
How many kids these days are tutored by Leonidas? How many are taught the art of warfare, ride a horse in their preteens? How many these days are raised by kings with limitless resources and connections?
Brody Hill
Also eliminate compulsory schooling, which single handedly creates manchildren by intentionally delaying maturity and adult responsibilities.
Bring back young and/or arranged marriage, which makes men have to grow up as an obligation
Kevin Price
We baby youth until they turn 18. Schooling should end by 14.
Carter Campbell
>Why aren't most people today like this single person from antiquity?
Jason Gutierrez
THIS.
And marriage at 16 should be allowed, and encouraged for anyone who isn't the type to pursue academics

Ya cause knowledge isn't power or anything... How's that GED or whatever the fuck they have in socialist hellhole treating you? Maybe if you study really hard Trump will let you legally migrate here so you can go to a community college.
Asher Parker
also this. Travel is overrated. The isolated community is really what produces great men. Those who can travel anywhere at their convenience don't have the same quality of character as those for which travel was a struggle and a rarity. Again pointed out by the Chesterton excerpt in the thread I referenced.

>>school is knowledge
this hasn't been true for several decades. 99% of it is lies. And anyway, most people aren't disciplined enough to handle too much knowledge. They're better off and happier being simple field workers or serfs
Owen Jenkins
Don't forget history doesn't tell you he only could because he was able to brooker a peace deal with the different groups in the austian hungarian and german regions or he wouldn't have gone anywhere
Thomas Lopez
It's an observable fact that men now days are demonized and cucked. Just remember that it was not in a natural state this happened...but rather socially engineered.
It does not pay to be a man days. Both literally and figuratively.
Dylan Parker
Just because the "well rounded" education you get in highschool is worthless doesn't mean education is too.
PhD's run this planet. Them and financiers, someone needs to keep track of the capital.
Jayden Reed
arranged marriages really aren't the worst thing in the world
so long as the two people are of roughly the same age (no child brides etc) and as long as it's not like absolutely forced
there's obviously a reason this practice persisted throughout so many cultures and societies, two young people, both from successful families that know each other well, and both come from a good genetic line, no genetic diseases, no mental illness, history of substance abuse, etc.
you ensure successful offspring but of course you don't ever want to marry to have successful and healthy children right? all that matters is ROMANCE AND LOVE
Hudson Cooper
He also fucked men in the ass
Mason Howard

Higher education is fine, for those who are actually good enough, which is my point.
The problem is that it's expected for everyone to be a scholar, and suddenly people wonder why people are failing.
I'm primarily talking about high school, which shouldn't exist. People should be able to get specialized training unless they actually are smart and driven to want to prepare for university (as in PhD level, not bullshit undergrad degrees)

So, you want to adopt the Swedish system.
Jeremiah Russell
because the whole world was boko haram tier and he was aristocracy with much less people in the world to compete with
Cameron Price
O noble son of Cletus son of Otis, go in peace. Your whiteness is immaculate and without reproach.
Owen Morgan
>Let me compare a once in a millennia individual to the average person
Okay, OP.
Wyatt Perez
Our education is shit. We dont even have set curriculums.
Nolan Wright
I masturbate to femboy hentai so we're practically the same person.
Ryder Powell
if it didn't come with progressive left indoctrination the Swedish system would probably be great
Evan Stewart
next time bring a defuse kit to the airport
Jacob Jenkins
The average Greek/Macedonian man back then probably farmed for 12 hours a day and then buttfucked a boy before falling asleep. Also, most families lived together for their entire lives.
Charles Ross

His father had already trained the best professional army in the world, hired the best generals and massed the supplies for campaing. He was ready to start the war and intended to do so when he was assassinated. Alexander got everything granted with silver spoon.
Isaac Martin

Zachary Rivera
So manly he had to dominate other men. Makes sense.

you give me some slaves and a army i will take over the beach.thats a promise. thats to the east its not even a long drive

The biggest downfall of man in the current age is the addiction to pleasure and leisure rather than hard work and self improvement.
The difference between Alexander and ourselves, despite the fact that he was the son of a King and had almost every resource available to him, is that he didn't have the luxuries that we have today. In those days, you couldn't spend 12+ hours on the internet looking at loli porn and debating over what race is superior. You either worked or you sat in a palace and watched your servants make you food and shit -- rather boring.
>The internet is the downfall of man No, the internet is not the downfall of man. With the internet, you can learn and research almost every topic available to man. You can learn Mathematics. You can learn how to program and engineer the inner-workings of technology. But yet, you use this platform for leisure (I'm guilty of it myself).
If Alexander were alive today, he would still accomplish great things and put us all to shame. It's the fact that Alexander valued hard work and perseverance rather than being lazy and hanging out with his friends.
The reason you have failed is not on account of outside influences, it's because you value the wrong things and put your mental efforts towards actions that produce no rewards.
Austin Adams
While it may be shit in some places, it isn't in others. Additionally, states set their own public school curriculums, so we DO have them, but only in the general sense.

I can see your point
Lately I've had an urge to work a physical labour job. Preferably on my own and in an idyllic natural environment because I'm a lonely autist that can't interact with people, but that's besides the point. I think I'd be happier if I had some sort of purpose in my life.
As for arranged marriage, well I don't know what women would want to be with me or if I'd be capable of living up to marital expectations, but I'd try.
Gabriel Robinson
Wasn't his father a kang or some shit? It's not like he was a self made man.
