Kaijus, what's up? It's your boy KatjuKong, aka 2K, emerging from the depths of solitude to bring you some more sigma soul sustenance.

Alright guys, as you can tell, today is different. Well, this comes at the request of a subscriber named Crossfire1816.

He's been asking for this video for some time now. A couple of weeks back, I made a video on how to become a sigma male when you're younger, and I did mention that Sigma males generally have two spirit animals: the lone wolf and the tiger.

One navigates the world, evolves, and improves himself differently from the other. And I also want to give a shout out to Salim Rose Mahdi and Michael Perez.

Thank you very much for the generous donations made to my PayPal account.

So, without further ado, the two Sigma paths: lone wolf versus the tiger. A lot of suspense. The similarities between the lone wolf and the tiger, let's start there.

As you guys all know, they're like Sigma males; we live life on our own terms. They are both independent and self-reliant.

That's why they get respect from others. They don't depend on other people for goods; they don't depend on other people for happiness.

They don't depend on other people to get them what they need in life. They are independent; they are self-reliant.

They prefer their own company, and so preferring their own company is priority number one. If they want to get into social groups, they prefer smaller social groups compared to bigger social groups.

Most of the lone wolves, tigers, and sigma males are introverted, but that doesn't mean that extroverts cannot be sigma males; extroverts can be sigma males as well.

They play on the fringes to survive and thrive.

As you all know, that's what a sigma male does: we play on the fringes, yet we still win. Mysterious and guarded personality: because we are closed, we're not very open.

We're more silent; we keep to ourselves. We act in silence, we act low-key; therefore, people do not know where we're going to be coming from next.

We're mysterious that way, rebellious, and don't seek approval, and hunt primarily through cunning rather than raw power. Now, this lone wolf and a tiger, they hunt primarily through cunning.

They are alone; they cannot rely on raw strength, they cannot rely on their speed they can, but to inch closer to their target, to inch closer to their prey, they use cunning.

They study their targets; they know how the target moves, where the targets hang out.

They make life easier for themselves because if you just act on raw power and strength, you're going to waste a lot of effort.

That's why intelligence is the biggest muscle that the top of the hierarchy people exhibit and have. Silence is a tool. Lone wolves and tigers, they don't roar, they don't howl for no reason, and compared to the alpha male like the lion, the lion roars to establish his territory.

The lone wolf does not howl and does not actually mark; he does not pee and doesn't mark his territory as much as he did when he was part of a pack.

Same with the tiger; the tiger does not roar to establish his territory, the tiger roars for a purpose to intimidate opposition.

Now, apart from the similarities, let's get into the differences. That lone wolf is special because he is genetically a pack animal.

Wolves exist in groups. Now, sigma males who subscribe to the lone wolf mentality believe that sigma males are born because they left the group for their own reasons.

Now, that's the thing: when you're a lone wolf, you started out in a group, but you felt that you needed to leave.

The reason why you left is because you felt different from the rest; you thought differently from the rest. When everyone went this way, you wanted to go the other way.

Usually a temporary phase, and may shift archetype later on. Now, this is very important, because a lone wolf, genetically as I mentioned, is a pack animal.

Therefore, it still remains to be said whether he will remain a lone wolf or potentially come back into a hierarchy.

He may not agree with what his pack at the moment—what his previous pack said—but he may agree to what another pack subscribes to, search for new territory, either as a leader or follower.

This follows what I previously said: when he disbands from his previous hierarchy because he was different from them, he can look for another hierarchy or another group that thinks like him, because there are other groups that do think and act in different ways.

All groups are different; therefore, one group that you came from may think this way—there may be a blue pill group, but that doesn't mean that there are no red pill groups.

If you're red pill, you disband from the blue pill group and You go on to a red pill group, but in that phase of limbo, that is when you are a lone wolf; you're fending for yourself in search of that red pill group.

And when you go to the red pill group, you can either follow them if the alpha of that group is good and sound in his reasoning and you align with what he says, you can easily—it doesn't, you don't mind because you're egalitarian.

You don't really need to be the leader; if the leader of that current group is already good, you're going to follow him.

But if you see that there are other lone wolves that are lost but they have the same mentality as you, you can always gather them up and become the leader of that newly established group.

Now, the thing with the lone wolf compared to the tiger is that a lone wolf, because he is smaller than a tiger, he can only go after smaller prey—rabbits, foxes, um, you name it, deer—maybe that's the maximum that he can go.

So in human form, you as a lone wolf can only attack and hunt after projects, work, etc., that are smaller in magnitude compared to when you are part of a group.

As part of a group, you can take on bigger projects because you're only one person.

Naturally, the projects and things that you take on are smaller; therefore, because you take on smaller projects, you're not as rich or profitable as others who are part of a group, unless you learn how to automate these systems.

If you learn how to automate, you can technically double gang yourself and clone yourself into bots that can work for you in replacement of actual people.

You learn how to automate the tasks, make life easier for you, and therefore maximize and multiply yourself and increase your income.

But as with sigma males, you can agree that wealth isn't the goal; freedom is the goal.

Therefore, a certain amount of wealth that earns us a decent amount of financial freedom to exist the way that we want to, that is the goal that we're reaching.

We're not reaching for a Bugatti, but all sigma males are different. You may be a sigma male and want a Bugatti and freedom at the same time, or like most sigma males, we just want freedom.

We don't really mind the Bugatti; it attracts too much attention to us.

We just want to remain low-key, to be able to do what we want to do without people always constantly looking at us.

So that's the lone wolf. Let's go on to the tiger. The tiger is genetically a solitary animal compared to the wolf.

A wolf is a pack animal; a tiger is born solitary. Now, sigma males who subscribe to the tiger as a spirit animal believe that sigma males are made, not born.

Why? Because humans, we are social creatures; we are not born solitary animals. Therefore, when you're a tiger, you did participate in society, and the reason why a sigma male who subscribes to the tiger spirit animal believes that sigma males are made is because somewhere along the way of his life there was trauma.

He suffered trauma, or there was a certain life event or a certain background in his life that led to him changing his heart and his mind.

Because of this one thing, or a certain cumulative set of things that happened over his life, he eventually lost trust in society and then left altogether.

For him, his opinion is that sigma males are made, not born, because in the beginning, he was part of a hierarchy and he was happy, but external circumstances forced him to believe otherwise.

Usually, a tiger is more capable than a lone wolf to be truly independent. A tiger, of course, is bigger than a lone wolf, more powerful.

Therefore, he is actually more capable as a born solitary animal to exist independently. Tigers, as many of you may not know, actually can form groups temporarily for a specific purpose; they call them streaks.

A group of tigers is called a streak or an ambush. Tigers get together to either mate or hunt larger goals for a specific purpose, after which they temporarily gather for teamwork and then they disperse.

In the animal kingdom, how do they survive? Survival in the animal kingdom is all about territory. The more territory and the more abundance there is in the territory, the more food and water you have, the more shelter and security you have, and the more means of reproducing you have.

This makes sense, of course. Survival is all about territory—establishing your own kingdom, your own empire—and you have to guard it with your life.

You'll notice that tigers are extremely territorial for this very reason. That's why they're solitary; they're big animals, they require a lot of food, they require a lot of sustenance, they require a bigger area in which to roam.

If there are two of them together, it means... however, they tend to be more forgiving if there is an abundance of prey around.

Therefore, if there's an abundance, they do not mind, usually, other tigers hanging around within the territory because there's an abundance; what is there to fight over, but in normal cases, if resources are scarce, tigers are very territorial.

Same with a lone wolf. Wolves in a pack have a territory, and a lone wolf, normally when he disbands from his original pack, has to find his own territory away from the territory of his original pack, because if he hangs out in that territory, they're going to hunt him down and kill him.

So, he has to find his own. A sigma male finds his own and owns it; that is his kingdom.

He protects it. That's the territory that he has to maintain in order to survive in the animal kingdom.

Now, how does this relate to human civilization? Early human civilization was pretty much the same. When they were cavemen, survival was all about territory, and the territory largely determined the food, water, shelter, security, and reproduction—the same thing.

Now, humans were different; humans used their intelligence and teamwork to make tools, to build walls, and to cooperate in terms of coming up with a survival strategy—how to hunt down the mammoth, how to build the wall, how to make fire.

Humans were weaker compared to the other animals that surrounded them, but they used their intelligence and they used their communication to gather as a team.

Humans are pack animals. Now, if you are a loner, given that humans are pack animals, if you're a loner, if you're a lone wolf or a tiger, how do you survive?

You are competing with others for the same resources alone.

Now, many sigma males, they say, "Oh, we're not competing, we're not competing, we're all egalitarian." Yeah, how do you survive?

How do you make a living? It's easy to say one thing when you're living with your parents.

It's easy to say something when you're relying on the government. It's easy to say something when you're relying on another person to buy you food, to pay for your bills, to pay for your housing.

But when you have to do everything yourself, how do you survive?

You have to compete. So how do you do that if you're alone? Let's get into it. With human civilization, when they evolved, the abundance of food, the abundance of water, the abundance of shelter meant that the tribe grew.

And when the tribe grows, a certain number of hunters can provide enough food for everybody else.

That doesn't mean that everyone else has to go hunt; it means it frees up enough time for others to develop their other interests.

And if you're not so good at hunting, what do you do? You develop specializations.

You had the luxury of time to actually work on your own skills. So, specializations—as I said—hunters and warriors were the most valued at the time because they brought in the bacon, they brought in the food, they fought wars with other tribes, they dictated the strength and the survival power of that current tribe.

That's why hunters and warriors were valued. Kings and chieftains were usually hunters and warriors previously, but not everyone was cut out to hunt or fight.

As I have previously mentioned, they had to find a way to be useful. If you were not useful, you were cut out from the tribe and became an outcast.

You don't provide any good to them; all you're doing is sucking out the resources like a leech but not giving anything out.

So, in order to be useful, they had to dig deep down into themselves and then they used their unique gifts and skills to provide value to the society and the tribe that they were in now this is a term called comparative advantage in economics; it means that comparative advantage compared to another person: you could be more skilled at, let's say, blacksmithing.

You know the tools, you have the strength to hammer down that sheet of metal over and over again compared to Bobby Joe. Bobby Joe is not as good as you; therefore, you have more comparative advantage.

It takes you less time, takes you less effort, and it costs you less money to provide that service.

Therefore, you are the best person to be the blacksmith of the tribe. That's why these things called specializations came up.

One person became the blacksmith; David over there, seeing that he cannot compete with the blacksmith, became the fisherman, and then the other guy became the butcher, and then the other guy became the farmer.

Now, this is the brief evolution of value. How did money come about? Now, you, as a blacksmith, you had swords, the other guy, as a farmer, he had wheat.

Now, at first, it developed out of the gift economy and debts.

As a blacksmith, I give you horseshoes for free. You use the horseshoes to put on your horse, and the horse drags the tills the land, gives you wheat, and then somewhere along the way, because of debt, out of a feeling of goodwill, you give me barley in return.

The hunters, they give us the meat for us to survive and continue with our specialization. The warriors protect the tribe; that's their specialization.

They protect the tribe from other tribes in order for us to continue living on and expanding our civilization, our tribe. Now, the thing is with the gift economy.

When you're a farmer, you have extra wheat on the side that, if you don't spend, will just go to waste. What happens to that wheat?

You use it to barter and to trade with others, use it as an exchange of goods. You see, the other guy he has 10 cows, and the cow is provided with too much milk that his family can sustain themselves on two buckets of milk, but he produces five buckets of milk.

What happens to the three buckets of milk? It can either go to waste or you can say, "I can see you have three buckets of milk, I have extra wheat here, would you want to do an exchange, my wheat for your milk?

That's why barter and trade came into effect. Now, not everyone wanted what you offered. What happens if you wanted the milk but he didn't want your wheat?

Then it came into representative money. You deposit your wheat and then they will give you, like, a clay tablet describing how much money or currency you have, how much credit you have, with which you can give to the guy who has the milk.

So the clay tablet, he can use it to go back to the merchant and purchase anything that he wants that is stored in that house.

So that's how representative... how I understood how representative money works, like it's not exactly money, it's just a proxy money.
