I am the General in this discussion.
Politics, ha! Capitalism ha! The legislature, the executive, the intelligence agency, meh. The real power lies in the Military. A code, respect, honor, loyalty, courage, and work ethic. Not the hedonists, not the cowards, not the rich, it is those who seek Roman and Greek glory, those who are soldiers not because they have to be, but because they chose to be great. Now I never served in the armed forces, but I chose to be an athlete, to work hard, to value these qualities over raw intelligence and the education to avoid it, I've committed to fight club esque choices on the person or the quality of my character. Not a racist, I judge you by meeting the above criteria not on looks like Hitler. It is a universal truth fortune favors this Gladiator persona over the others.
The difference Alexander of Macedonia versus Dondald Trump and Xerxes or Genghis Khan is that Alexander was Great in that he didn't ask his men to do anything that he wouldn't risk himself and he lived by a code of chivalry regarding who he was as a King, and he didn't have to at all, in fact he was so well educated that his school of philosophy was uncommon for elites in his possession, to have courage on the battlefield when you don't have to is the very content of your character MLK spoke of. As a man, man to man, these are truly the most powerful types of men that women with self-respect seek, especially as a father, as a leader. This is the way.
It is an untold secret that the reason these are the types that get ahead in life, is because it's not natural, naturally we are the basal, the animal, to hide behind a kilt even as a man - it's difficult to chose to be a man.
A better way to define morality is simply saying in English, 'bros before hoes vs hoes before bros is as deep a conflict of good and evil as peace in thekde east' to which monetary value is the very test of, because if youre a joker instead of hyperserious that takes advantage of the money system has no wealth in the end because he has no honor. That is the basis of all religion, it has not nothing to do with females, it has to do with a sadist mentality being rooted out and separating men from not men. Life has nothing to do with the Romantic, or romance as many people fail to see the truth of the bro code embedded in why they fail to find love, because it's not even about romance it's about being seen by other men as an alpha male, really doesn't even matter what she thinks if you're alienated by the what Vin Diesel refers to as the Brotherhood, even gangs operate under the same universal law. You don't even have to be the weasel who takes advantage of power, you could be not so evil like Tommy Wisseau the classic hopeless romantic who fails to realize his marital position has less to do with romance and more to do with being a leader. Because I guarantee you as a Martial mindset a code of honor exists in which Tommy Wisseau's friend values him as a leader more than he values things like a love affair or a friendship that isn't rooted in admiration like we see in the room.
Captain Sinbad is a terrific example, what he talks about is right on he knows what's up, ranging anywhere from nofap, to the porn industry as the root of all evil, even to finding out about masculinity or how to be masculine.
We punish ourselves by masturbating, by sinning in thought we set ourselves up for failure in critical moments later on. I believe earlier I used this quote
"4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. 3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”
5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:
‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’
and,
‘In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”
7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not [a]tempt the Lord your God.’ ”
8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”
10 Then Jesus said to him, [b]“Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”
11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him."
This is the most powerful quote not just in Christianity, but all religion.
Imagine an cliff with no bottom, and when you're in a position to act on a fantasy that you know is highly immoral (I've been there SEVERAL times) you're going out on the edge of that cliff, make the wrong choice and you fall forever.
"You have proven you can rule yourself, now you must learn to rule others"
Animal slaughter represents the hierarchical consumption of indenturing those who fell from grace. Evolved life feeds on lower forms of life.
"Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things. ... Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you."
I religiously disagree with veganism and vegetarianism, for one it's a proven fact that without meat we don't gain as many nutrients as with it. In fact it was the introduction of livestock that made humans so much more intelligent than apes.
Despite all these bible quotes, I'm actually an atheist but with a similar mentality of an olden days warrior code Knight. I know that nothing is made and everything is eventual, Murphy's law states that what we see is the only possible outcome of simple geometric principles applies to geometry in how I understand physics so extraordinarily (anyone who knows me knows that I know things I don't share that surpass General Relativity in scale). Yet I recognize that, in order to be human, I must treat morality as seriously as if there was an intelligent designer of whom choice is paramount to living a great life, as opposed to suffering by giving into hedonism and being truly alone and dishonest.
From a psychological perspective I believe that even the school of rigid scientific thought on the matter of personality is based upon morality. It doesn't matter how smart you are, good always defeats evil.
I hope part 2 in Denis Villeneuve s two part feature encapsulates what I've said here during his rendition of that scene where Feyd challenges The One, even representing it in the psychological dicotomy of the two combatants employed in the coreography somehow. It was believed by Gurney even, and never imagined that Paul could take someone like Feyd 1 on 1.
Before you start in on my past behavior realize that what I've just said speaks specifically to my own flaws in logic, and my actions in life don't at all reflect what I do on KMC, in fact they're the opposite because I identify my demons specifically, I know they exist and I've made them very apparent online.
Freudian psychology, despite what I seem on the surface it is a mistake to attempt to use my weaknesses against me - because they define my strengths and I am insidiously strong-willed in regards to the matter. The definition of insidious is more dangerous than they seem. Or in my case, unexpectedly capable in situations involving interpersonal awareness. I have emotional Spidey sense, a sensitivity in delicate situations.
