It's hard to be fair here, mainly because it seems too easy to punch down. It's easy to call people who fall for the these scams, these scammers, dumb and uninformed, but I can resist the urge and be compassionate about it.
It all comes from a void, an empty space, an unaccomplished goal. The conn artist learns with time, (the good ones at least) to exploit the weaknesses in our humanity. They learn to feed us the red meat we want to hear, the promise of change, the promise of actual happiness.
I would be lying to everyone, to myself even, if I said I’ve not fallen for scammers myself. It’s happened more than once actually, but we all tend to think, me included, that we become immune to the charm as we age, as we grow. But, is this true?
One thing I will say here is that I tend to not write about these “prophets” too much, because it always seems to upset someone. By nature I don’t look for confrontation, and I happen to be convinced people don’t really like being told they need saving from a conn artist.
As a matter of fact, if you want to make an enemy out of someone, an effective shortcut is to attack that person’s prophet. Note that I’m using the word attack, but it’s serving as a dramatic substitute for criticizing.
Why am I talking about this now? Am I trying to upset a fan of the Liver King or Andrew Tate or any other “be healthy, be rich, be a man” prophet?
Not really, I know I can’t change anyone’s mind on these subjects, but I happen to enjoy writing some of my ideas down on this blog. It’s my sincere hope to go back decades from now and read about who I was in my forties. Maybe I’ll look back and I think I still an idiot, or maybe, just maybe, I will look back and think It was the decade when I
woke up.
I will end with this….
If anyone offers a shortcut, a way to pass-go, collect 200, get all the chicks and look like Adonis for a monthly subscription…. It’s guaranteed to be bovine excrement. No need to dig deep, do “the research”, double check the claims, etc.
I don’t need to take dry liver powder to BE A MAN… I think I’m sure of this truth.
But hey… we are all free to try…
MenO
I'm not totally sure what this is about, but I have seen stuff with people boasting about being 'alpha males' that seems to mean eating meat and 'real' milk rather than alternatives. I thought milk was for babies? I don't eat meat and pretty much gave up dairy milk.
There are loads of scams out there. I get so many spam emails trying to sell me miracles. I've managed to avoid losing money to suck scammers so far, but I worry for people who are more vulnerable to it.
you nailed it... basically there are these "alpha male gurus" out there scamming dudes who are a little too naive for their own good.
This whole thing is a rabbit hole... an ugly one at that... if you start looking up these names.
Good to see some liver king content on Hive. 😂
He is talked about on every other corner of the internet.
Im still shocked anyone thought he was natty. His red skin openly shows he is practically overdosing on roids. (blood pressure through the roof) I was shocked to learn he spent $12K a month on HGH though. He got scammed by his anabolic dealer if you ask me!
Also the liver king bought his son a brand new Lamborghini for his 16th birthday. How "primal" of him LOL!
I did approve of liver king promoting grounding and taking breaks from emf/5G. He also warned of the dangers of seed oils, which is likely destroying many people's health.
Oh, and I just found out Tate has been quietly showing occult hand signals in his interviews... go figure.
