The First 100K 21 Convention Video

The First 100K 21 Convention Video

by on 31. Oct, 2011 in Lifestyle Design, The 21 Convention

I just got word that the newly released speech from The 21 Convention 2011 of London England, “Becoming the Gorilla” by Brad Branson, is going to be going out to some big distribution channels. Big big. Meaning, I suspect very strongly that this will be the first 100,000 view 21 Convention video, within 12 months of release. Perhaps even less time.

The video so far has done well. 2,600 views in 5 days. Not bad. But even so, the view rate should be skyrocketing very soon, and from there, going sky high. It should surpass even the great Doug McGuff 21 Convention video, which is scheduled to hit 50,000+ within 12 months of release — which will also soon be ranking #1 on Youtube for “paleo diet” searches.

Awesome? Yes, very awesome.

In any case, Brad’s speech is pretty bad ass. Check it out by clicking the picture. Thumb it up if you want to see it continue…

This Uncollege Guy is Pretty Good

Good video. Simple, nothing new to TDLers, but a comprehensive refresh and a good speaker for his age.

Peter Schiff: A Real Life Hank Rearden

by on 27. Oct, 2011 in Independent Thinking, Wealth

You could actually say a real life Midas Mulligan/Hank Rearden hybrid, but who’s counting. Peter Schiff is a bad ass and drives at real fundamental issues in the face of the sheeple — defending the remaining producers left in this crumbling country.

I wonder how many people in the crowd even had a murky let alone clear concept of what unalienable rights are — and why they are by lights years upon light years, the most important thing that could be discussed by anyone right now so far as government is concerned.

And I love Peter’s question — what objective % of my own money should I keep?

Notice no one answers with the only correct answer possible: 100.

– Anthony Dream Johnson

ps — I got in touch with Peter Schiffs people a few months ago about speaking at T21C. Got side tracked but shall be interesting to pick the discussion back up.

College Dropouts to Save America

College Dropouts to Save America

by on 27. Oct, 2011 in Lifestyle Design, Wealth

Found this neat article in the New York times. Here’s a quote.

If I were betting on the engines of future job creation, I wouldn’t put my money on college students cramming for tests and writing papers with properly formatted M.L.A.-style citations in order to bolster their résumés for careers in traditional professions and middle-management jobs in large corporate and government bureaucracies.

I’d put my money on the kids who are dropping out of college to start new businesses. If we want to get out of the jobs mess we’re in, we should hope that more will follow in their footsteps.

I mention this because it’s eerily reminiscent of my own life. As many of you know, I dropped out of college Spring 2010 when I failed “how to start a business”, for the second semester, in a row. Adding insult to injury, I had started a business from nothing at age 17, currently ran it at the time, continue to run it years later,…

Paleo Sweet Fries

Paleo Sweet Fries

by on 22. Oct, 2011 in Nutrition

Blasphemy you scream!

No, not so.

I made these last night with my girlfriend. The sweet potatoes were home grown, fresh out of the backyard. Coated in rice flour and a bit of diet sprite. Deep fried in coconut oil for ~8 minutes. Subsequently sprinkled with cinnamon, clove, sugar, and pink sea salt — then dipped in melted butter (typically grass fed but did not have any on hand).

Ideally, I think, grass fed beef tallow would be used to deep fry, the cinnamon would be saigon, and club soda or carbonated water would be used instead of Sprite.

All in all though, probably the best fries I’ve ever had in my life.

Eat my shorts peanut/corn/soybean/canola oil status quo mother fuckers.

Cracking the Code to Online Game

Cracking the Code to Online Game

by on 21. Oct, 2011 in Lifestyle Design, The 21 Convention

New T21C speech release — Tuesday, Thursdays, and sometimes Wednesdays — on online game for men. Meaning, how to meet women via online dating sites. It’s pretty bad ass, and the speaker is even more bad ass, fresh off of delivering a speech the previous day on tactical self-defense and the ins and outs of picking your first handgun.

Watch the speech here ad free or watch it on Youtube (Bravo Pua) to support T21C by watching ads. You can also download the video or Mp3 version for only a few dollars (check the descriptions at either link). This is awesome if you want to watch it offline or listen to it on your Ipod/Cell phone.

If you want to support the speech in other ways you can “like” it on Youtube and favorite it if it is one of your favorite videos.

On a personal note, my good friend Liam Banks has had some pretty…

Common Sense is Uncommon

Common Sense is Uncommon

by on 20. Oct, 2011 in Independent Thinking

There’s an interesting discussion going on under this post. To extract two quotes from Matt (who is a multi-year 21 Convention attendee, and someone I wish I would have spoken more with in person this past year in Orlando),

It was interesting to me that you found this speech so transformational. As someone who as always viewed the core of pickup as communication, and the purpose of that communication as intimate connection, this speech was both superfluous and a bit simplistic.

I was merely commenting here that it was interesting to me that there’s people like Anthony out there who find this information life changing.

There are a number of things going on here that interrelate.

For one, knowing both Matt and Sock to approximately equal degrees, I can say definitively that they do not share a similar sense of life — which is to say, they do not face existence in the same way to any significant degree. Certain fundamentals are…

Extreme Even for Me — Throwing out the Rule of Law? No Thanks

by on 18. Oct, 2011 in Independent Thinking

Your mistake is that you place written law ahead of moral law. As you have written before, the only moral purpose of government at any level is the protection of individual rights. Just as laws that infringe on individual rights are invalid, so too are laws that prohibit government from protecting individual rights. Therefore, the absence of a constitutional amndment authorizing the government to protect abortion rights can and should be disregarded. If the state governments would criminalize abortion, the Federal government should step in and garuntee to uphold abortion rights. Protecting individual rights is ALWAYS the right thing for the government to do regardless of the flaws in the Constitution. A proper Constitution is important, but philosophy is more important than any political device.

This was a comment left anonymously here.

In essence, it’s a subtle acceptance of much of what is wrong in the American States at present. It’s not obvious of course, but it is there none the less,…

The Relationship Talk That Changed My Life

The Relationship Talk That Changed My Life

by on 17. Oct, 2011 in Lifestyle Design, The 21 Convention

As I type this I’m at my girlfriend’s house. Simple as that fact may be, I’m almost speechless, because it is the ultimate testimony to the efficacy of Sock’s speech (link) on interpersonal relationships, and it is a profoundly personal one.

I briefly showed this speech to my girlfriend, and I don’t even think she believes me — that if it were not for this speech, I would not be dating her right now. It really was that pivotal.

But was it the primary cause?

No, the prime mover for manifesting the relationship, qua my own life, was me. This does not undermine the fact however, that the single biggest key to unlocking what I had already built in my own character, was this speech, it’s speaker, and his ideas.

His psychology pertaining to committed, long term, intimate relationships.

~~~

I know this may come as a shock to many of you, and I would like to verify by reviewing his work before stating this more concretely, but this speech…
