How Does The 21 Convention Benefit You?

By Anthony Dream Johnson in The 21 Convention

 

As a direct result of building The 21 Convention, there are a number of people in my life I consider close friends, yet have only met a handful of times my entire life.

 

I spoke with one of those friends last night, and he mentioned something that has not crossed my mind in some time – how do attendees benefit from The 21 Convention?

 

I am so focused on designing and building events that I have never given the question serious thought.

 

I slept on the question last night. I thought, and I formed an answer. It is written below.

I found the PUA Community just after my 17th birthday. Not long after I found it – perhaps days – I experienced the most profound thought and emotion of my life.

 

In it’s entirety, it was nothing short of a lightning bolt going through my mind.

 

Do you know what it was?

 

I’ll tell you what it wasn’t – it wasn’t that I found this body of knowledge and…

HIT Workout Updates

By Anthony Dream Johnson in Exercise

 

Every few months I film one of my workouts, post it online, and discuss the workout as it currently stands.

 

This is one of those posts.

 

To catch those not up to speed on my convictions concerning exercise …

 

  1. Exercise in the exact sense, is a form of physical activity.
  2. Physical activity, in the exact sense, is not exercise.

 

Sound reasonable?

 

It is, however, conventional wisdom dictates the opposite. The underlying, basic premise that is commonly accepted today is that “exercise” is anything – that no exact definition exists, that it is a matter of subjective opinion and not objective fact.

 

Notice the trend? You should, because we see the same phenomenon with

 

  • Food
  • Love
  • Rape
  • Sex
  • Health
  • Fitness
  • Diet

 

and so on.

 

Apparently black and white facts do no exist. “Anything is anything”. Or more precisely, everything is a giant, bland mush of gray nothing.

 

Horse shit.

 

Knowledge exists. Nature exists. Existence exists. And man has the capacity to understand these things through the faculty of his reasoning mind.

 

Exercise is NOT “anything”.

 

Exercise is not “anything that makes…

“It’s Not Popular in Our Culture to be the Leader”

By Anthony Dream Johnson in Lifestyle Design, The 21 Convention

The context Tim is speaking of in this quote is of a true leader — of a man who leads men of independent thought, by voluntary choice, for his own reasons, and for his own sake.

Of a man who refuses to serve or to rule.

This is diametrically opposed to the conventional leaders of today though (who are indeed “popular”) — false leaders who proclaim that they “are their brother’s keepers“.

Men who seek not to conquer nature, but man — every man — by trampling on his personal rights, through the iniation of force, and derivatives there of.

In Defense of “Rape”: The Most Raped Word on Earth

By Anthony Dream Johnson in Independent Thinking

Do you want to know a secret?

I’ll tell you one: rape is one of, if not the most, “raped” terms on earth.

It’s meaning and usage are so far distorted that there isn’t a starting focal point to zoom in on – it was pillaged and plundered of meaning upon inception.

Why should you care? It’s just a stupid word right? … Right? …

Wrong.

To the contrary, the heavily lubricated ease of use it has in our diction, and subsequently, in most judicial systems found around the world – including those found in the American States – is a fountainhead of problems for young men and women alike.

Rape, as…

Marni’s Wrong — Sex, Violence & Fluid Transfers

By Anthony Dream Johnson in Independent Thinking

 
I found this video via a friend’s blog today. In it, Marni from Wing Girl Method, talks about sexual escalation and “talking dirty”.

At about 1:55, she states the following.

“I let him go a lot further than I let any guy go before”

She then goes on to state the following reasons for why she allowed a guy to escalate with her.

  1. He made her feel comfortable
  2. He didn’t make her feel like she was going to be judged
  3. He didn’t make her feel pressured
  4. He made her feel safe and secure

I’m going to play contrarian here, and pick apart the basic premise’s being accepted.

I’m not going to go into a lot of detail. Think of…

How Government Ruins Your Life Part 1 — Nutrition

By Anthony Dream Johnson in Independent Thinking, Nutrition

The purpose of government in the American States — indeed, the proper, and only legitimate purpose of every government on this earth — as inscribed in the Declaration of Independence, is to secure the individual rights of man.

Every man.

Not groups.

Not some men at the exclusion and expense of others.

Not one gender at the expense of another.

Not one race at the expense of another.

Every man on this earth.

~

The general government between the American States — what we call the federal government — was never delegated the power to use it’s voice as a loud speaker  – such function funded today by worthless IOUs, forced upon the people with and then collected by the barrel of a gun – an illegal act in and of itself unless and until an individual has initiated force against another.

As such, it is not only improper for such government to exercise such function, but illegal, both by the nature of the united States Constitution in…

The 4 Elements to Becoming a Stronger Person

By Anthony Dream Johnson in The 21 Convention

  • Element 1: Do your own thinking.
  • Element 2: Drop the ambiguity you see in your own life.
  • Element 3: Be willing to “sacrifice” everything, for something that you are convinced has higher value — live congruently.
  • Element 4: Rise to the challenge of massive uncertainty when it comes your way — do not let fear obstruct your actions.

Addendum: If I were to give this speech again, there are ideas I would change, and more specifically, words. Think of this speech as a picture taken in June of 2010 of my development as a man — not a permanent window into my head as it currently stands.

Lessons from Football

By Anthony Dream Johnson in Independent Thinking

I almost never watch football, but I loved playing it in my youth. It’s what kept me going through those long hours in totalitarian, worker bee, compulsory slave camps called high school — where everything wrong in the world is shoved down your throat, smack in the middle of a free society.

It was that time of day where I got to live free — when I had the opportunity to push myself to my physical limit, run into someone full speed, fall down, get up, and do it again.

I left high school football with two important lessons under my belt.

1. Interposition

It was the spring of my junior year of high school. While still juniors, we were now the “seniors” of the football team since the former seniors were well on their way out of high school.

One still liked to workout with us as a team though, despite his football career being officially over. The coaches did not have a problem…
