Competition Drives us to Excellence
Posted on February 13, 2015
Competition and rivalry is often seen as something evil, especially in Cultural Marxist thought. The reason for this is due to the misconception that in order for someone to excel and prosper someone else has to lose.
However, it is not the victory that drives us forward but rather the struggle to attain it.
And after all, if you have gotten a long way on the journey by that simple fact, wherein lies the evil?
From the outlook of the tribe, the fiercer the competition within the group, the better the entire tribe will fare against other tribes or against the dangers of nature.
Naturally a lot of people want to be sheltered and be the big fish in a small pond. This reasoning, however, is blasphemous, because even if everyone once in a while wishes for an easy victory it is always more beneficial to learn to relish the competition and struggle.
When I have sons I will encourage them to (if not outright fight) at least wrestle and engage in physical competition, instead of giving them the option of a sense of security which will only damage their drive to win and better themselves later on.
Consider this: Being physically defeated by another boy will be humiliating; What is the best course of action? To be sheltered by your parents and society and avoid that transitory bad feeling or to learn the lesson quickly that you have to step up your game?
This can be applied to something perhaps more relevant to younger men right now: Imagine that you have a close friend or brother who has come further in a certain journey, let us take muscular development as an example. What do you do? You train harder, easy as that. And by setting the standard for each other you will then out-rival other groups, that is the reason that you should be with people who have the fire in them to attain glory. Without it you will lower your own standard and be comfortable with less than would be possible otherwise.
I am sure you have heard that you should not compare yourself to others (especially growing up), and right enough, your individual progression is the key. However, even if YOU do not compare yourself to others, you will be compared to others by others. Radical leftism (the reigning political thought in much of Europe) dictates that everyone is equal no matter what. This might feel good for the moment, but deep down inside no one wants to be the weakest or the slowest or the dumbest.
If you learn to harness the primordial desire to be the best and compete against others, you will never lack motivation.
You must also acknowledge that the harder the tribe competes within the tribe, the better it will fare against outsiders.
To take an example I am very grateful for my brother, without him I would not be as glorious as I am right now, and without me he would not be as glorious he is. The reason for that is because we have pushed each other towards excellence since the dawn of our time. And it was never the case that we one day sat down and said to ourselves that we would push each other, but rather it has come from setting the standard for each other and harnessing the natural desire to compete. And even though you might sometimes feel aversion towards each other and wish for someone less formidable to compete with, remember this: He will also be the one who has your back when faced with outward opposition. And then you will be thankful for the strength of each other. With this reasoning it is also easy to realise that the competition in the tribe or between brothers must always be one of increasing one’s performance, in contrast to trying to put each other down. Malice and ill will are the signs of lesser men, whereas the ability to aid each other in the pursuit of excellence is what creates greatness.
Sunday Summary
Posted on February 8, 2015
The past week have been both a glorious one and a blasphemous one.
First of all I have read Jack Donovan’s The Way of Men. Which is a must-read for all men, especially younger men in the Western world, being brought up in a feminized society without a clear road to follow. Also interesting is the concept of tribalism or the gang which basically is an “us vs them”. In Swedish schooling and debate especially, it is common to look down upon feelings of us and them. This is obviously disturbing for a nationalist such as myself. Now keep in mind here that the “us” doesn’t necessarily mean that I dislike or hate anyone. On the contrary I love most things, especially different cultures and their unique histories. What it means is simply that I love my own as well and I stand up for my own, which is nothing but natural. Swedish degeneracy is slowly but steadily crumbling and I’ll be proud to be the one who kicks in the door to let the light shine in on the ignorant and hateful beta leftists that are so hell-bent on ruining our once fair land.
I will also make a video review on the book. If you haven’t visited Donovan’s page it can be found here: http://www.jack-donovan.com/axis/start-here/
Other news this week has obviously included the Islamic State and their deeds of infamy. The really twisted thing here also is that movements against radical Islam such as the Pegida is being labelled as racist and is being opposed by leftists. And the debate climate in Sweden is quite tense at the moment actually, luckily though, more and more people begin to see what absolute scum the beta leftists are. The reason I might come across as a bit upset is because a former member of the opposition party (Sweden Democrats) committed suicide due to severe medial pressure after being outed by a newspaper for writing different opinions (as in views labelled as racist) anonymously on different sites. For more information regarding Swedish madness and lunacy just google “Sweden Yes”. To give just another little example on how retarded the situation in Sweden is, the leader of the second largest party, Anna Kinberg Batra recently said that people who choose to join IS also are victims. This is not a joke, she actually said that. Oh, well I don’t want to spoil this fine Sunday evening further by talking about how far down Sweden has sunk.
As for my training I released this video:
Where I show some of my very humble Olympic Lifting (new record on 120 kg). The technique is far from good but the gym I train in is very good in the regard towards competent lifters. The guy standing in the background in the lift is actually one of the world’s best (also being a strongman and powerlifter), overall really athletic guy (Stefan Ågren).
I have also successfully commenced a squat session, meaning I can now proclaim myself as fully healed. This is very awesome indeed. This means I will set up some sort of schedule for myself for the squats and deadlifts to follow. I will not do another Russian Squat Routine in a long while though!
As for the videos and gaming of the week I made my first Mount and Blade Viking Conquest, which was very well received. As I might have mentioned both once and twice before I am very much in love with that time period and the integrated Northsea region during that time, with the battles of England, the chieftains of Ireland, Viking raids etc (also book recommendation if you are interested in this time is Bernard Cornwell’s book series on Uthred).
I will make another episode of that in the week since it was so well received, I actually did it to gauge the response and see how much I enjoyed making an episode and I genuinely did. If you haven’t seen it yet it is here, including my different tries at different accents!
Other let’s plays that are coming in the week are Shogun Total War 2 and Rome Total War 2 as Alexander’s successors in Baktria.
And as always to everyone who could not care less about me making gaming videos. It is February in Sweden. The whole country is covered in snow, this is a good time to do these kind of videos. During the summer I will make more random videos.
Lastly, I will make a voiceover during next week since that was some time ago.
