서구 남성성의 쇠퇴와 새로운 개척의 필요성

### 남성성의 위기: 국경 없는 세상
* 🌎 중세 농민보다 더 많은 시간을 일하고 더 적은 임금을 받으며 집을 살 수 없는 상황에 직면한 젊은 세대는 **삶의 목적과 방향성을 잃고 어려움을 겪고 있습니다.**
* 🏡 사유지 소유권은 사고의 폭을 넓히고 시민 의식을 함양한다는 점에서 건강한 공화국을 위해 매우 중요하지만, **사유지 소유권의 상실은 전 세계적으로 지역 사회의 해체**를 초래하고 있습니다.
* 🏛 종교에 따른 자치와 미덕에 대한 참여는 집단의 결속력과 신뢰감을 형성하지만, **공유된 가치의 쇠퇴**는 문화적 정체성의 상실을 초래하고 있습니다.
* 🎮 정복할 외부 영역이 없는 상황에서 남성들은 **비디오 게임이나 자기계발에 마지막 남은 영역**으로 눈을 돌리고 있지만, 통일된 집단적 비전 없이는 자기계발 추구가 헛된 것으로 느껴질 수 있습니다.
* 🏞 열린 공간을 지배하는 프론티어는 **건강한 남성성을 개발하는 데 필수적**이며 과학, 예술, 비즈니스 등 다양한 영역에서 나타날 수 있습니다.
* 🔥 "정말 번성했던 모든 문화는 **물리적 공간의 확장**과 함께 **지적 또는 비즈니스 영역의 확장**을 보았습니다."
* 🌟 프론티어는 최고의 비전, 책임감, 집단 응집력을 요구하며 남성성이 번성하는 곳이기 때문에 **건강한 공화국과 건강한 남성을 만들기 위한 해답은 프론티어를 찾고 추구하는 데** 있습니다.

경제적, 사회적, 문화적 요인으로 인한 젊은 남성의 목적 상실은 시민 의식과 남성성 결여로 이어집니다.

the world is on fire, and young men are look maxing or playing video games, or they're just tapping out. What is going on? Well, you see, we have a whole generation of young men with nothing left to live for. Okay, they work more hours than medieval peasants, are paid less. They're on track to never being able to buy a house. Houses, homes, family homes 30 minutes outside of Denver are like a million doll. On top of that, 80% of my generation of young men aren't in relationships. Marriage rates are steeply declining. There's no more Community, there's no more God, there's no more shared sense of religious purpose or purpose otherwise. There's no unifying Vision or aim for the West. We're just drifting in this sea of nihilism, and this is a really bad deal. You see, when men have nothing left to live for, and more specifically nothing left to fight for, what do they do? They're going to check out, they're going to go through the motions of Life, play video games, eat shitty food.

drugs on the weekend and watch sports or as a reaction to that the self-improvement space opens up which is really the Last Frontier available to them to men which is themselves but again this takes on the same kind of vein and selfish undertones because they have no unifying purpose that brings them together and makes them feel like they're a citizen of something larger and when this idea of citizenship collapses so does a healthy Republic and healthy masculinity and in this video I want to talk about the founding father's conception of a healthy Republic specifically Thomas Jefferson's conception of a healthy Republic and how healthy republics and healthy masculinity have existed in place like ancient Greece in Rome during the Enlightenment during times of flourishing in humanity and what can we learn from history about this welcome back to wisdom Warriors I'm Christian we're diving in today so Thomas Jefferson and many of our founding fathers were wise figures that studied the classics they studied history and they determine that a healthy Republic exists on three Foundation stones and

that is private land ownership participation in self-governance, and virtue under God. These three things are indispensable in individuals if the Republic is going to thrive, and I find this very fascinating because these are not like WID sweeping party legislations. These are about the individual, and I totally agree with this. If we want a healthy Nation, if we want Healthy Communities, we need healthy men and women, right? And to make strong men and women again, you need to have them be a citizen, a participant in the whole. This is the essential piece that Thomas Jefferson understood. The first first one is private land ownership, okay? When you own the land, when you own let's say a couple acres in a community, and you know that your children's children are probably going to live there, how do you take care of that piece of land? You're probably going to want to see it Thrive. You're going to really take care of your house. On top of that, you're going to take care of your neighbors because you

know their kids kids kids are going to be there too right. You take care of whole Community. You have the sense of a stake in the world and citizenship so therefore your time frame of thinking has extended very far. It's and this is the opposite of what happens in a renter Society. I'm just renting this apartment. Everyone else is just renting these apartments and houses. No one's owning houses anymore and when this happens your time frame of thinking shortens because I'm not going to be here in a year. No one else is going to be here in a year. Why would I care to get to know my neighbors? There's no sense of like long-term value so therefore it's very short-term self-absorbed thinking and this is what's happening across the world right now is the the private land is being bought up by conglomerates and it's making everyone else become basically peasants again where there's no more middle class you can't really buy a home if you're making an average

salary. So, everyone's renting things, and then thinking really short term, and it's why Community is disintegrating because no one has private land ownership anymore. And this is actually how the early Roman Republic fell. Is all of a sudden they started importing large amounts of slaves, which destroyed the middle class because there's an overproduction of labor. And then the wealth pump got turned on, basically where the middle class became very poor. They lost ownership of their lands, and then conglomerates came in and bought all the farms and lands from the people, right. And it created this massive inequality where people no longer felt like they were citizens of Rome. They were either peasants, they're very wealthy upper class, right. And when the citizenship, the middle, the middle class falls away, that's when Nations collapse, okay. And this is what we're seeing in America, this is what we're seeing all over the West right now, is the loss of private land ownership. And the first thing to feel like you're a citizen.

part of something is to have a long-term stake in something. I once lived on a community farm, and I didn't give a about the garden, about the farm. Like, I really wanted to participate more, but the problem was, I knew I was transient. I knew that I didn't own a single scrap of that land, so why would I really care about it? And this is what, you know, everyone needs to understand about human psychology. Unless we have a stake in something, there's no value. There's just going to be a tragedy of the commons. The final two points here is participation in self-governance and virtue, or virtue under God. And both of these, I'm going to go into really briefly, so we can actually get to a big segment of this video, which is about Frontiers, but both of these create group cohesion and a shared sense of trust and feeling with one another in a community. And they increase this feeling of citizenship. Participation in self-governance, the founding fathers had

this conception that each local government and state government would have a lot more power than the federal government. The federal government was this overseer to protect the borders of the nation essentially. And in that, if you were in this small town and you felt like your political ideas, your values actually had this ripple effect and this sway through the community, you are much more likely to be engaged and active in your community, help people out, educate, spread ideas, and it created this sense of an involved citizen. We can even go back to ancient Athens to have evidence of this. The aristocratic Elites and the people who could vote would often get together in symposiums. And symposiums were dinner parties where these men would get together to drink wine and discuss philosophy, politics, War, religion, things like that. And it often came down to heated debate. And I always admire the Greek Athenians for their intellectual practice OS and their sense of involvement in their City. They loved their City, they loved Athens, and they wanted to see the best of it.

and many of them were outspoken philosophers. They thought deeply about politics. They thought deeply about war and protecting their borders. They thought deeply about trade and, you know, religion, and God, and virtue, and these things that actually founded a healthy Republic. And their ideas spread through debate, through these symposiums, and it created this really active Citizen. And I think the founding fathers of America had a similar idea when they emphasized participation in small self-governance. The third thing is virtue. And Rome collapsed largely because of the wealth inequality, the disenfranchised lower class, but also because of this discordant loss of group values. You see, when the main religion goes away, all of a sudden, his group sense of cohesion goes away with it because religion historically has always been the center of a tribe, the center of a community. Why is that? Because your worship and your morality, when it's shared, you have a much more familiar and Kindred sense with the people around you. You speak the same language. You're on the same spiritual Quest, per se, as

everyone else, and right now, everyone I see is basically following different religions, whether they know it or not, whether that's scientism, or woke-ISM, or republicanism, or you know, whatever it is. People have their own ideologies, and it's creating, and we're creating, this loss of shared value, and loss of shared language, and loss of cultural identity. So these three things, private land ownership, participation in self-governance, and virtue under a religion of some kind, like a state religion. When these things collapse, cultural cohesion, sense of citizenship, and sense of participation in a larger, all go away. So what happens is you get a very hedonistic, nihilistic, divided populace that only focuses on themselves. There's no more neighbors, there's no more Community, there's nothing greater to fight for. So men just go inward, they go through the motions of their lives. In walks the self-improvement space to all these, frankly, very hurting and very disconnected men who are disconnected from their roots. And it's no wonder that these men, you know, get obsessed about

the gym, and meditation, and studying, and improving themselves. Good for them. Like this is the Last Frontier available to them. And also in this broken World. In order to like maybe have a chance at building a family, of having some kind of financial freedom, of having a good life, you do have to be a self-improver. Like that's just the bottom line. But at the same time, it takes on this selfish undertone. And that brings us to the second part of this video. And that is self-improvement is should be, and you really is the byproduct of the conquest of Frontiers. So let's talk about Frontiers and how it develops healthy masculinity. Frontiers, the is about Mastery of Open Spaces, new spaces to master. And Frontiers appear in many places. They can appear in the Science World, especially during the Enlightenment. You know all these new scientists wanted to go Master the new spaces, wanted to go observe the stars, and do these kind of things. Frontiers can be in the art World. They can be in the business World. They can be

physical space. Wherever there is space to conquer, new spaces to master, masculinity flourishes, and men tend to band together in brotherhoods. You can think about it as the tribe, and there's all this unknown open territory around the tribe. Men will join hunting bands or War bands to go explore their surrounding areas and master, you know, their natural environment. This open also happens in terms of Conquest. We see every single culture, from the Native Americans to the Huns to the, you know, the Indo-European barbarians, going into new spaces and conquering new lands, and through doing this, they develop, you know, skills as a tribe, they develop internal resources as individuals, and flourishing always occurs where there's a frontier and like something new, some new space to go master. We saw this in ancient Athens after the Athenians defeated the ancient Persians. All of a sudden, their Navy swept across the Mediterranean, and they mastered all of these new spaces. They mastered the Seas, and through acquiring all this expansion, right, they created

the Athenian Golden Age. The same thing happened in Great Britain. Uh, you know, post the Age of Exploration, where all these men wanted to go adventure and master the new spaces, the Open Seas, the new territories, and there was this per period of colonialism and whether that was good or bad. There was this flourishing of culture in England, you know, and earlier than that in Portugal, in in France, and these places where they were expanding and mastering new spaces. And every culture that was really flourishing, we see this expansion of physical space and also the expansion of intellectual or business Frontiers. The idea of a frontier is really important because this is where masculinity thrives. The wilderness is a perfect example to show where masculinity thrives. There's a reason that rights of Passage and men's work or like men's development happened with elder men out in the forest. Boys were taken out there to face the dangers and wildness of open space where they had to learn, you know, self-reliance, industriousness, courage.

the face of danger. Strength in the face of adversity. They had to learn these things before they could come back to the safe Village. And right now in the West, we have lost the Wilderness, per se. So many men have never really been in the wilderness, and they haven't received these pseudo-wildernesses, let's say, of, you know, this like thriving business Frontier or this thriving creative intellectual scientific Frontier. And because there's no Frontiers left to him, there's nowhere to catch the heroic impulse. Most men who have masculinity left in their blood have this heroic impulse towards going into something new, taking a great adventure in their life, and building something in the face of adversity. It's why we love heroic stories and superheroes and all these things growing up as boys is we have these dreams of, Oh, I'm going to be a billionaire. Oh, I'm going to be a Pioneer. I'm going to be an Explorer. I'm going to be an astronaut. I'm going to go into these dangerous open spaces and make a name for myself.

they grow up all of a sudden. These heroic Sparks, I call them, don't have any kindling to take of so no flames are started. And this is the stifling of the modern West right now. The business Frontier, for the most part, has been explored and conquered unless you're very specialized. Same thing with science and Academia. It's like the amount of specialization to get to the fringes of AI technology or space technology is. It takes a very specific type of person. Furthermore, physical space in Frontiers and Wilderness, there are some left like if you go up to Alaska. But the physical Frontier is basically gone as well. And what happens when there's no more open spaces for our young men? Well, they're going to turn to video games where they can actually level up with friends, where there is space to conquer, space to master, and skills to gain. They can have this real sense of progress. Or they turn to something like self-improvement and personal development. You see, when all space externally seems to be conquered, men with masculinity left in.

them will go to the last true Frontier, and that is themselves. And this is a very isolating experience because the development of spirituality, of going to the gym, of reading more, of developing yourself, yes, it's very virtuous, but at the same time, there's this question of like, what is all of this for if there's nothing externally, no motivating unifying purpose for all the self-improvement? It can feel really vain. So that's one of the reasons I'm making this video, is because I sense there's a lot of young men out there who are getting into self-improvement, who are getting obsessed with the gym, and like, kudos for you, keep going, go master that Frontier, that is you. But at the same time, we need some kind of unifying Collective Vision if it's going to be more meaningful, and also if it's going to be less selfish and less vain. I get it if you're not getting girls, like, you know, get into the gym more, or like, learn to approach, do that kind of thing, but at

the same time that feel that still feels so base. And for many men, money and looks are not big enough motivators to become their best self. Like, we need some kind of unifying religion or Collective Vision that we're going towards. We need a new frontier, and this is so important. The last Frontiers I see. I encourage you to comment below what Frontiers you see for you. But the internet is quickly being explored and conquered, but at the same time, there are niches like the one I'm entering now that are available to people who really want to rise up as rising men as Leaders. There are Frontiers available also on the ideological front. You, there's many Frontiers here because there's, there's great thinkers like n like Julius aola, you know, some people that I really, you know, appreciate that barely have any ideological backers. And there's so many backers in the mainstream partisanship of like republican or democrat or right or left. But there's also this huge ideological Frontier where you know leaders are going to need to rise into.

and actually start to establish themselves so that we can spread this kind of information and education, and start a new culture and a new movement towards something beautiful. So I guess I'm going to leave you not necessarily with a solution, but a question: what is a frontier you and your brothers, your comrades, the high-value individuals you find out here? What is a frontier that you can organize yourself around? By finding a frontier and going into it, you develop your masculinity, but you also become a leader, and leaders and great movements, revolutions, new cultures flourishing happens on Frontiers primarily because Frontiers demand the highest Vision, the highest responsibility, and the highest group cohesion. This feeling of group cohesion, which we all crave, it can only happen when there's an US versus them, when there's this great, you know, external adversary, whether it's ideological, physical, intellectual, when there's this great adversary that we must band together to overcome. It's all I got to say here. I think this is the solution to building a

healthy Republic and healthy men. Again, thanks for watching wisdom Warriors. You know, hit that subscribe button if you want more like this. I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. Peace.

오늘날 젊은 남성들은 경제적 불안정, 인간관계 및 커뮤니티의 쇠퇴로 인해 목적의식 결여에 직면하고 있습니다.

이는 허무주의로 이어져 삶에서 멀어지거나 이기적인 방식으로 자기계발을 추구하게 만듭니다.

토머스 제퍼슨은 사적 토지 소유, 자치, 미덕을 바탕으로 한 건강한 공화국에 대한 개념을 통해 공동체의 번영을 위해 개인이 사회에 적극적으로 참여해야 한다고 강조했습니다.

사유지 소유권 감소가 커뮤니티에 미치는 영향

개인 토지 소유가 감소하면서 단기적인 사고방식과 공동체 붕괴로 이어지고 있습니다.

중산층이 사라지고 소수의 손에 토지가 집중되면서 초기 로마 공화국의 몰락을 연상시키는 엄청난 불평등이 발생하고 있습니다.

이러한 추세는 공동체에 대한 장기적인 이해관계가 줄어들면서 시민권과 소속감을 약화시키고 있습니다.

역사적 정치 이념이 시민 참여에 미치는 영향

작은 정부 권력과 시민 참여의 개념은 정치 참여를 중시했던 고대 아테네로 거슬러 올라갑니다.

미국 건국의 아버지들도 토론과 자치 참여를 통한 아이디어의 확산을 강조했습니다.

종교를 중심으로 한 공유 가치와 문화적 정체성의 상실은 대중의 분열과 쾌락주의로 이어질 수 있습니다.

자기 계발과 개척지 정복의 관계

자기계발은 이기적인 측면이 있긴 하지만 성공적인 삶을 구축하는 데 매우 중요한 요소로 여겨집니다.

과학, 예술, 비즈니스, 물리적 공간 등 영역의 정복은 남성이 새로운 영역을 정복하기 위해 함께 뭉칠 때 남성성이 번성하는 곳입니다.

물리적, 지적 또는 비즈니스 영역의 확장은 성장과 발전의 기회를 제공하므로 남성성이 번성하는 데 매우 중요합니다.

잃어버린 국경이 현대인에게 미치는 영향

오늘날 많은 남성은 실제 야생의 경험이 부족하여 모험과 역경에 대한 영웅적 충동을 상실하고 있습니다.

물리적, 비즈니스적 영역이 대부분 개척된 상황에서 남성들은 정복과 숙달을 위해 비디오 게임과 같은 가상 공간으로 눈을 돌리고 있습니다.

외부 개척지의 부재로 인해 남성들은 자기계발을 마지막 진정한 개척지로 삼고 있지만, 이러한 노력에 의미를 부여할 수 있는 통일된 집단적 비전이 필요합니다.

개인의 영역을 찾는 것의 중요성

많은 남성들이 돈과 외모를 넘어선 통일된 목적이나 비전을 추구하고 있습니다.

이념적이든 개인적이든 새로운 영역을 개척하는 것은 개인의 성장과 리더십 개발에 필수적인 것으로 여겨집니다.

외부의 도전과 적에 맞서는 개념은 집단의 결속력을 키우고 문화와 운동의 발전을 촉진하는 수단으로 강조됩니다.
