Tragic Emptiness: Modern Life and Decentralization Solution

The tragic emptiness of modern life stems from the dissolution of community, purpose, and shared values, leading to a widespread feeling of loneliness and lack of belonging.

okay team, today I want to talk about the tragic emptiness of modern life. What it looks like, where it comes from, and what we can do about it. This is one of the most important videos and ideas that I think everyone needs to be thinking about and talking about, because it's getting worse. Community is dissolving, meaning and purpose are dissolving, masculine camaraderie is out the window, romantic love, family, marriages are all collapsing, and even the idea of the American dream of buying a home, of having a small ranch or something, isn't even attainable for my generation anymore. There's been some massive social, economic, and political changes that happened in the past couple of decades, past 100 years, and it's leading to this very broken, inverted, and empty place. Let's talk about it. Welcome back to Wisdom Warriors. I'm Christian. We're diving in today. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. The other day, I was cooking up breakfast, listening to my workout playlist, and a

song I once loved came on, and it's called I Walk Alone. It's a man singing about his quest for greatness, his quest for purpose, and how he is dealing with the loneliness and the aloneness and the emptiness of the modern world. I felt so much compassion for 19-year-old me and all the 19 20-year-olds out there who don't have a place in this world anymore, who don't have a shared community, a shared set of ideals and values. Because of that, they create this coping mechanism where they're spending, you know, three, four hours in the gym and then working on their e-commerce business, chasing this idea of greatness. But ultimately just feeling so damn empty the whole way. I've been there, and the thing is, that feeling of emptiness doesn't just end, you know, with 19 and 20-year-old men finding their place in the world. Even at my age now, I'm 26 now, and I am one of the most blessed human beings.

on Earth, I have a business and a creative purpose that inspires me. I have friends. I have dating options. I have a deep spiritual practice. I have these things, but at the same time, life still feels empty 70% of the time. And yesterday, just the other day, I took myself on a date to the Denver Art Museum. And I was sitting with paintings from the 1700s, looking into the eyes of these men in these idyllic pastures and woodland areas. And I imagined taking one of them out of those paintings and bringing them into the modern city of Denver. And what would they think? They would be impressed at our achievements and technology, no doubt. But they would be depressed if they could walk one day in any of our shoes. Yeah, we have conveniences and comforts aplenty, but the things that really matter, matter to the soul, we severely lack. Do you even know your neighbors? How much of a community do you really have? People who you love deeply, who you would fight and live and die for. How many

people, have you celebrated with? Have you have you grieved with? Do you feel like you know on a deep, personal level? On top of that, do you have comrades? Do you have any sense of shared purpose in this world with other men spaces you are going to master together? Adventures you're taking together? Probably not. We have no sense of adventure, of hunting, or war, or protection with our brethren. We have no more Brotherhood circles. To make matters worse, let's look at religion. There's no religious or spiritual underpinning in society. We no longer study or care for the soul and how that soul can mature and grow into its greatest version. There's no sense of church and like spiritual reverence with your community. All the things that used to give us deep meaning and a sense of belonging and mission in this world have disappeared. So if that 17th-century man came back to walk a day in your shoes, he would feel so devoid inside, so disgusted with the state of our culture, and depressed at this lack of the fundamental human needs. I forgot to even mention things like

family, marriage, land ownership - things that used to comprise the American dream - aren't even really attainable for my generation. The loss of all of these is just creating this radical feeling of emptiness. Like, even having I have great male friendships, right? But the thing is, is like we're not on a shared Mission together. Yeah, I'm going to a concert with some friends later today, like, yeah, we hang out, you know, have a barbecue, we have a great time. I run Brotherhood circles, like, we go deep together, but the next level that we're all looking for is: how can we have a shared purpose again? Like, how can we have a political, economic, cultural project that we're working on together? Maybe it's a compound off in the wilderness, or maybe it's a business project or a political party and order that we're starting, like, or probably all three. But without that, all of our lives are divided. Everyone is off working their own job, raising their own family, pursuing their own personal Destiny, and there's no Collective Destiny anymore, right? And this is the tragic.

emptiness for men all men feel this and sports Gam on the weekends and like concerts with friends and you know raising your tiny little family like these things aren't cutting it and most men feel totally empty so what the hell is causing this massive emptiness this gaping hole in society honestly I think this all boils down to the ideological victory that happened after World War II and that was the victory the widespread victory of capitalism liberalism and material iism and this this Victory swept across the planet stemming from the west and right now anything outside of this worldview is deemed heretical it's it's heretical to be even remotely to the right of the liberal identity of the democratic institution you're just called a fascist now um and it it's placed these blinders on Humanity so that we can't remember what we were and where we came from I want to give you a huge contrast to the modern day and I'm going to present this idea of the clan the clan is probably the most farri extremist entity possible

okay, the clan. The ancient clan of Europe, of, you know, the steppe of the Middle East. These people were generally ethnocentric kin people who rejected and were openly hostile to almost all Outsiders. Even the city-states in Greece were openly hostile to each other and they're of the same blood, right? The clan values honor, excellence, loyalty, and manliness in all of its men. It produces true men to protect its borders and to expand its Mastery of open space. The clan has Frontiers where it's going to expand its dominion and its power and its influence. On top of that, at the center of the clan is a shared set of values, a shared set of traditions and beliefs, and most importantly, a shared religion. And within a religion, within a myth, there is the, the uh, story of the ideal man, the ideal women, and the ideal State. These things are all communicated through the religion and through the myth, and it gives a Guiding Light to all the boys and all the girls and all the young

Lings who are growing up into what they can be, and what they should be, and where to aim the arrow of their longing, all of these things happen within a clan. Almost every Clan across the world has these elements. Now, for good or bad, like whether you agree or disagree morally with the clan model, you got to understand that people have evolved to live within a tribe, within a clan. Forever, this is how, this is where humans feel most fulfilled, you know, and happy is with a kindred tribe of people. And without that, by actively attacking the values and the principles that lead to life, you are creating emptiness. When we are not citizens of a whole of something we believe in, life will be empty. I got a radical question for you: do you know any man who'd be willing to die for his community and for his values? Probably not. If you go back a thousand or 2,000 years, almost every man would be willing to die for his tribe and for his God. This discrepancy is very revealing about the problem in the

modern West meaning is the problem, and it's one of the most paradoxical problems we can ever face as a species. Cuz here's the thing, if you have something you are willing to die for, life is beautiful, but you're also a danger to society because this creates fanatical groups. And this is basically how Humanity has existed forever, these Clans who have their own unique culture, who are opposed to outside cultures, okay? And this is the essence of human nature, is this like Waring US versus them, basically. But the moment you pacify that, you eliminate shared group bonds and shared group identity, you create this widespread capitalist consumerist Democratic Society, yeah? Like we have less violence, but we also don't believe in anything. We have no unifying shared idea or Mission, and without these things, there's not going to be new organic culture, true community, and true masculine camaraderie and bonding. Now I'm not saying we need to go back to all these Waring Clans, but we need to start

thinking in terms of red tribalism and decentralizing if we want to solve the problem of modernity. I'm going to have many more videos coming out about this subject. I was talking to my dad about these problems the other day and discussing how most of the young men we know are lost, that my generation is never going to be able to buy a house or have that old American dream, and that people are tragically lonely right now. What can we do about it? We were talking and I really think the world's going to change rapidly. You see, change is the result of strife and necessity. Those are the words of Heraclitus, a famous philosopher, and I really buy into them. In the fact that personal change happens when the pain gets high enough and collective change happens when it's absolutely unne necessity, and that necessity point is coming, so be ready for it. And that change I see happening in a sense of decentralization and red tribalization, people in my generation

aren't going to buy houses by themselves. They're going to buy compounds. And this is already what I want to do and most of my friends want to do. Is like, we all want compounds. But this is going to pose interesting and challenging problems that we get to solve. I am an idealist, I admit it, and a lot of people reject my ideas because they haven't seen it work before in the past. But in the past, there hasn't been a great enough need and a great enough opportunity that we have today in this new space of decentralization. There's this opportunity for the decentralization of law, the decentralization of money, of information, of, you know, technology with the internet. And this is creating an opportunity where people can get out of cities and go try their own civilizational projects. And this is really the solution I see to the problem. We can either have go to a globalist one world order or decentralized civilizational projects. But these civilizational projects are going to require leaders, first and foremost. Leaders need to figure out three things.

and it's going to sound kind of cultish, but this is just the reality of building culture. You need to figure out what is your shared value system, or ideally what is your religion, of that Community. What is the vision of that Community? What is the myth? The second thing you need to figure out is what is your Frontier. You need a frontier, whether that's like creating resources, a business project, whether that's a farming project, you know, you need some or an ideological project that you're doing on YouTube, or you know, crypto or something like. You need a project that is demanding high responsibility of everyone that is joining your tribe, okay? And this is kind like think about it like a business. So you need a religious Foundation, a business foundation, and then you need a political Foundation of how this is going to be organized and how you bring in people to this order. And this is why it sounds like a cult, but honestly, if you're going to try a civilizational project, you need to figure out what is at the center of.

civilization, and that is a religion, that is an economic or Frontier project, and that is also a um um a political structure of some kind. So, and that's the cool thing about decentralization is you can try your own blend of cultish activities um, but if you're not a leader, what can you do about the current situation here? I mean you're all leaders in your own right, but number one is develop your character, and character growth is easy because we live in the most like dark and depressing times in so many ways. So you have this opportunity to refine yourself, and in refining yourself, you're going to build build your value as a person, and this is going to help you build your tribe. And that's step number two, is build your tribe in any way you can, meaning like going out to build your Social Capital, becoming known in your community, meeting women, meeting men, like using social media as a tool as well to build your Social Capital, which is your relational wealth. I have a whole course

on this in the new men's Academy. If you're interested, there's a link below to learn more about that. But yeah, we went really deep into that but ultimately build your character, build your personal value so that you can build your social value. And a lot of people, when there's uncertain times coming, they look to building their wealth, building their resources. But the most resilient resource that you can build is your social, your social resource, your Social Capital because this is the it's the strong community that actually makes it through hard times, not strong people by themselves. So and then in some way when you're building yourself and you're building this community, join this cause in any way you can, whether that's in decentralization, whether that's on YouTube talking about political philosophy. Like we need a lot more of that, we need people on YouTube sharing the message and getting this retribalization, decentralization message out there. So making videos, learning how to farm, learning how to build community, like learning, you know, natural building, there's so many different

Avenues you could go, but a lot of people are still looking towards the old world. Towards the like, Oh, I'm going to learn marketing for this big Corporation, and I'm just like, is that going to be really satisfying in the end? I mean, for some people are really well adapted to a sick world, but I'm not, and a lot of my viewers aren't adapted to a sick world. So, in that case, start building skills and adding to the cause. Forward Thinking, forward-looking. Imagine if we had decentralized, you know, nationalistic small communities of like a thousand people in each one. How could you add value to them? How could you add value in terms of gaining resources for them, adding to the technology, or adding to the community in some way? And I really think this is the future coming. All it takes is people, the like. We have so many amazing entrepreneurial, like, deep intellectual people who are motivated, who are vital out there, but most of them are just working for themselves to escape modernity. Like, they're just like

living in Bali, or living in Costa Rica, or traveling as a digital Nomad, and there's going to come this Tipping Point where we realize actually it's not about me, it's about us, okay, and these leaders are going to establish, you know, basically these decentralized communities. It's already happening all over the world. This is already occurring. So, it's like, how can you build your personal value so that you can add to these communities? Also, how can you build your own tribe to join into a bigger one? And also, how could you be a leader of something like this? I really see this as the only way out because you're not going to be able to buy a small family home and raise a family like they once did back in the day. And really, do you want to work a job for a corporation you and your wife your whole lives and barely see your kids? No, like we need compounds for the raising of children. We need compounds that are ideologically and culturally distinct. They are their own thing. This is where organic culture

happens when people are get together around a shared myth, a shared religion, in a sense, a shared value system, and a shared vision of what they could be. When this happens, true organic culture emerges. Again, and right now in the west, we don't have organic culture emerging. We had the dissolution of all culture happening. So, this is why the compound style of living will return. And yeah, this is just my two cents. Honestly, I would love to talk with someone who's really knowledgeable about the decentralization space and how decentralized nationalistic communities could be interconnected with one another all across the world. I see this as the true Great Awakening. Um, I could be totally wrong, but that is my solution to the problem. I hope you enjoyed this. Wisdom Warriors. I'm Christian. If you want to join my men's group and men's Academy to discuss ideas like this further and help you with your character growth and building your tribe, there's a link in the description below. I would love to see you there. If not, if that's

not for you. Check out this video about why the world is on fire and young men are look maxing goes right hand in and with this one. I can't wait to see you at more videos about decentralization ret tribalization and possible solutions here anyways. Thanks for tuning in my friends. Don't forget to live dangerously today. Peace.

The tragic EMPTINESS of modern life

Wisdom Warriors

The modern world is experiencing a dissolution of community, meaning, and purpose, leading to a pervasive feeling of emptiness, especially among young adults.

This sense of emptiness persists into later stages of life, despite having achievements and comforts, due to a severe lack of soulful connections and community.

The societal changes over the past century have contributed to this broken and inverted state of being, highlighting the urgent need to address this issue.

The Modern Male Experience: A Lack of Brotherhood and Purpose

Many men today feel a deep sense of emptiness and lack meaningful connections with others, including a shared sense of purpose.

The loss of traditional values, community, and collective destiny has contributed to this emptiness.

The widespread victory of capitalism, liberalism, and materialism after World War II is seen as a major cause of this societal emptiness for men.

The Significance of Clans in Shaping Human Identity

Clans in ancient Europe and the Middle East were ethnocentric kinship groups that valued honor, loyalty, and expansion.

The shared values and religion within the clan provided a guiding light for its members.

The modern challenge lies in balancing the sense of identity and community from clans with the need for a unifying societal idea and mission.

Embracing Red Tribalism and Decentralization in Response to Modern Challenges

The younger generation is facing a future where traditional dreams like homeownership seem unattainable, leading to a sense of loneliness and disconnection.

The speaker believes that the solution lies in embracing decentralization and forming tribal-like communities with a shared value system, a demanding project, and a clear organizational structure.

This approach, although unconventional, is seen as a response to the changing world and a way to address the pressing needs of the modern era.

Building a Stronger Community through Decentralization

Decentralization allows for a unique blend of cultural, economic, and political activities.

In the current uncertain times, it is important to focus on character development and building social capital to create a strong tribe.

The emphasis should be on contributing to the cause of decentralization, whether through sharing the message, acquiring new skills, or adding value to future small communities.

People are shifting towards a mindset of community over individuality, aiming to build personal value to contribute to decentralized communities.

The focus is on creating tribes and becoming leaders within these interconnected communities, as an alternative to traditional corporate lifestyles.

The vision is to establish ideologically distinct compounds where organic culture can thrive, in response to the dissolution of culture in the western world.
