I read an article today on “what it’s like being a hot girl.”

It got me thinking. What *does* it take to get that girl?

I happen to think it’s a game of chance. Pure chance. If you’re a guy who approaches a girl once a month, you stand a very low chance of ever getting remotely close to what you want.
You need to approach women as often as they get approached.

I think the whole ‘quality’ men idea is only so that some can make tons of money from others’ suffering. Remember: Competition is the domain of males.

The mathematical fact is that there is one male for every female.

It is true that you can raise your mathematical odds of having success by making yourself appear to be “pre-selected” by women (and I’ll explain what that is), but this does not in any way imply “quality.”

The only way to get to “quality” is to be ruthless in your exploration. Again, numbers trump everything else.

It is a mathematical fact that there’s a guy out there for every girl.
This includes the gargantuan plethora of illiterate horny females and equally illiterate horny males that seems to populate the Earth presently.

Consider this the reason why there’s so much unemployment: illiteracy.

I would say the illiterate males might be more dangerous because they have a desire to enter positions of political power and are totally ignorant of their own ignorance.

Mathematical facts:
- Any marginally good-looking girl who ‘advertises herself’ (I will explain what this means) will be approached at least 50 times per day
- Any male who ‘advertises himself’ correctly will be approached more often and have to work less to get laid than a male who does not advertise himself
- For every male there’s a female

* Advertising oneself means doing deliberate things to increase your chances of having sex:
- Posting a photo of yourself looking “hot” (females)
- Wearing outrageous clothing and black fingernails to a nightclub (males)
- Going to a nightclub all dressed up with more make-up than it would take to cover up 9/11 (females)
- Getting “built” and doing everything in one’s power to look like a “hussler” (males)

Fact: By advertising yourself, you expose yourself to greater levels of ridicule.
The amount and intensity of ridicule you experience is directly proportional to the amount and intensity of your advertising.

There’s a natural drive for those who do not advertise themselves to ridicule those who do.

We all have some circuits inside which are “hard-wired.” These circuits manifest themselves in many differing ways. But at an archetypal level, those manifestations can all be traced back to one of many hard-wired circuits. We are oriented toward being deterministic, like dogs, cats, trees, or chimps.

The sole purpose of rationality (recently evolved) is to give us the option of having free will.
However, rationality tends to shape itself around hard-wired desires. This is shown by the phenomenon of “back-rationalization”, where a decision is given a rationale after the decision has already been made.

Here are some of those hard-wired circuits:
- We all seek approval from others; this is the approval-seeking circuitry.
- We all have a built-in desire to mate; this is the reproduction-seeking circuitry.
- We all need to defend the ideology that keeps us on good terms with our tribal leaders and therefore keeps us surviving; this is the ideological-survival circuitry.
- We all want to protect ourselves from uncertainty; this is the risk-aversion circuitry.
There are probably many more.

While it is not possible to *suppress* any of these circuits, it *is* possible to *observe* them as they happen, so as to become *consciously aware* of their effect on your life. Once that is done, it is possible for you to become an *enlightened human*, capable of what many would claim to be “insane” actions because you are no longer governed by these circuits.

It is my theory that humans have been given rationality so as to be able to *abstract* themselves
from the effects of these hard-wired circuits and to therefore be free to exercise their
*creativity*, free from the approval-seeking circuitry, or to exercise *eugenics*, free from reproduction-seeking circuitry, or to exercise *scientific scepticism* when overruling their ideological-survival circuitry, or to exercise *courage* when overruling their risk-aversion circuitry.

It is clear that some people are able to overrule these circuits, by observing, acknowledging their effects, and then cleverly controlling their actions (cognitive behavior influence) so as not to conform with the actions that the circuits would have automatically otherwise performed.

Neo=Neocortex

The function of our “neocortex” (the Matrix “Neo” was referring to this part of the brain) is our
most recently evolved newcomer to our cerebral environment. It is this part which has been given the ability to overrule those built-in circuits. We are able to consciously observe our impulses and to consciously control our actions. This is the reason why we have “free will,” if we choose to exercise it.

When you watch “The Matrix” with the idea that “Neo” is allegorical for the “neocortex”, you
begin to see an amazing set of connnections. Everything in that movie makes sense once you do that.
You see the references to “freedom” or “slavery”, “blue pill” or “red pill”, “determinism” and
“freewill” as nothing more than references back to the functions of the neocortex, namely to
“free us” from our primal unaware selves, from our deterministic hard-wired circuits.

“Wake up, Neo” literally is a call to “wake up” your neocortex.

Once that is done, “your training is now complete.”
