interesting perspective.

I am not very enthusiastic about academia difficulties. I imagine it like animal farm. When the rule of the farmer collapses we get pigs lording above us, and pigs arent any better.

This post-academia future you envision is something that honestly scares me, especially in absence of a system that can supplant it and is better.
Absence of a system? The system that replaces it are digital oracles. Synthetic Gods. AI. And skilled polymaths that can master them. The credentialed academic class has been exposed, just as the priest class in past civilizations has been.

for now all we are getting are underqualified ecelebs relative to the role they perform, they administer us and many of us are more qualified than they are. We are getting shit elites, shit propagandists, shit-tier propaganda.

And for now the situation did not yet produce anything that can be considered an improvement over academia.

Welcome to the Bronze Age Collapse 2.0
I hope there isnt a collapse, because my schizo instincts are good but I have limits.

Like, when there was convid, my schizo mental retardation allowed me to have stocked food, ways to receive false certificates, connections, be able to hide for 2+ years, plans to disappear from the public.

My schizo mental retardation saved my ass but I cannot predict everything an I cannot survive everything. So if society collapses, my schizo retardation will not be enough, I already know it. I cannot do the survivalist coping BS, I know I need a community to survive, what if I get ill? I will need competent doctors, not tards who disbelieve academia and give me protein powders and rat poison.

The masculinity fad is mostly performed by ugly people. Hence we came to call it "postmodern masculinity" or "MAGA-masculinity" or theres judith butler who calls it "performative".

If you're male, anything you do is going to be masculine one way or another so you might as well take good care of yourself and max the things that benefit you. Your "best you" is your best self.

The "performative" stuff are the jesters and the copes.

I think masculinity 101 is godfather movie. Basically you do what a feminist may call "emotional labor". Now, I dont mean that we gotta be mafia thugs or anything, but the mafia thug has a dayjob to do: emotional labor daily, involve himself in family affairs, be always present and work his logic thru intricate emotional situations.

Basically masculine = guy thats going to be mastering emotions all the time. Is what I think it is. Theres oher aspects, like you can be accepted by other men, you can retain a level of separation between you and collective so that you determine a sense of self and define who you are and what your going to do.

In any case, this is pretty much true, its "traditional masculinity" simple as.

postmodern maga masculinity (name given to them), is more like: lets be highschoolers, lets be swindled by the fad, lets grunt and perform the logic of false opposite for the vibe and the mood.

Its about the vibe, and the mood. And posture on social media, constant status alignment.
