Normies are scared of things that are hard.
Having lots of children? Hard.
Starting your own business? Hard.
Saving and investing? Hard.
Hodling bitcoin? Hard.
Thinking for yourself? Hard.
Working out? Hard.
Eating right? Hard.
Ironically by avoiding things that are βhardβ they end up with the hardest lives.

Exactly, everything requires our effort to achieve it, that is why we have to be strong to fight for our future.
Does two children and a dog count for no,1 ?
No. Thatβs just table stakes. Need to up that. Iβm saying that as a father of 2 with a dog also, but itβs true.
You are right.... If my wife and I were a touch younger....
What is it about modern culture that has pushed people to seek out life on easy mode?
Reliance on government, restriction by government, and proganda from government
Gentle parenting is a psyop to create weak men
βEasy choices hard life, hard choices easy lifeβ
i mean yea. i run sin 3 he marathons. hard. iβm also 40 years old w the diet of a teenager. eating right? hard. canβt win βem all. life is hard homie. all of it.
LIfe is hard because of how we were raised, and the habits we form.
Once we accept a constant state of change, and you develop just one new habit at a time, life becomes easy once you have enough of the new habits internalized!
Being scared of hard things sounds hard, what is the definition of a pre-normie?
it's a vicious cycle.


6/7. Need to start a business but have no idea what I want.
Not everybody is cut out for being an entrepreneur. I do not think this is a must for everyone
This is so true!!! Not all of them maybe, but most of them.

The first one is random af π throw that one outta there
Whatβs random about it?
Because you can avoid having lots of children and have an objectively easier life.
Is dying alone objectively easier?
What are you talking aboutβ¦
Reality
You can have two kids, manage and not die alone. Thatβs just your preference, and your reality. You have a good one
Ah ok so youβre not against kids then, just lots of kids. I get it now.
@HODL holding, thinking, working out. These cost nothing. Anyone can do them if they chose to.
Having kids, eating right. These are not without cost. The things on your list are no all equal.
If you want specific examples;
I could not afford to have more kids and continue to live where I do. For me this is more than difficult it is untenable.
I have traveled to places where the options that people have are eat what is available or donβt eat.
Iβm really only ever talking about Americans in my post
Seems like youβre prioritizing different things than what @HODL is suggesting.
See, theyβre hard.
Fair.
But not everyone here is American and the world is much bigger than the USA.
On brand.
You could argue that this is true for me and children but not for what people eat. Eating βrightβ vs not eating is not really a choice
*For a lot of people
Iβve lived in some terrible places. I understand what youβre saying. Poverty is real. Breaking out of poverty is hard.
Having lots of kids always came with sacrifices. Anyone fertile can have lots of kids, but not everyone will value lots of kids enough to sacrifice whatβs required
None of these are hard if one has conviction.
try telling a normie that!
