Bitter, Ignorant Virgins Unite

by on 19. May, 2011 in Independent Thinking, The 21 Convention

I recently found this article on the “Omega Virgin Revolt” blog, that was a short response to the blog post on The Spearhead in support of The 21 Convention.

I have never seen this blog before, but I am both saddened and disgusted in finding it. From what I can gather, the focus of the blog is a negative — to fight back against “women and manginas”.

This is tantamount to becoming “better men”. Better by whose standards?

I for the record, stand in diametric opposition to these things in the light of a primary focus or purpose for anything.

The Men’s Conference of the Century: The 21 Convention, is about fighting for your own happiness — it is about living for your own sake, not for the sake of living to fight against and for someone or some group outside of yourself.

It is about becoming the ideal man — by your own standards, your own best and highest possible, and no one else’s.

Trivial differences in word choice?

No. In fact, there is no greater difference that can…

You Have 2 Weeks to Start Living

You Have 2 Weeks to Start Living

by on 17. May, 2011 in Curtis Noll, The 21 Convention

August 1st 2008, a few days after The 21 Convention 2008 wrapped up, my best friend Curtis Noll died from a rare type of cancer. He was the greatest hero I have ever known. For all of the inspiration you guys see in The 21 Convention, and in me, you should know that a great part of that inspiration is a parting gift from my friend.

That gift was the achievement of his own life and his own happiness before his time on this earth ended. That gift was the knowledge that I wake up to every day — that Curtis is dead, and never coming back.

Superficially depressing as this sounds, this is quite inspiring to me — inspiring because it is a crystal clear reflection of the fact that time is finite — that life ends for all of us one day, one way or another.

Coming full circle, the achievement of life is not an avoidance of death. It is not a negative, but…

The Anthony Robbins of a Generation Has Arrived, and His Name is Matthew Hussey

The Anthony Robbins of a Generation Has Arrived, and His Name is Matthew Hussey

by on 09. May, 2011 in The 21 Convention

 
No speaker in the history of The 21 Convention has come more recommended to me than Matthew Hussey. From superstars of the PUA community like Adam Lyons and Richard La Ruina, to the CEO of DayGame.com Andy Yosha, to a host of viewers and fans — Matthew Hussey comes in consistently as a speaker I absolutely could not afford to miss having at this event.

I confess, I was at first skeptical. I had never even heard of this guy. But a quick Youtube search for videos of him — resulting in the above find — very quickly made me realize why Matthew had come so highly recommended to me as a speaker for The 21 Convention.

I say this in the deadly serious sense: Matthew Hussey is the Anthony Robbins of the 21st century.

People have said this about me, but I think they are tempted to associate my first name too easily with Anthony Robbins, when in fact I feel I have very little in…

Will The 21 Convention Survive Economic Collapse?

Will The 21 Convention Survive Economic Collapse?

by on 03. May, 2011 in Event Architecture, The 21 Convention, Wealth

TDL Reader: Hey Anthony, would you ever consider writing a blog post about what all you’re doing to prepare for the dollar collapse scenario?

Me: Buy a gun
Buy some ammo
Buy some food
Buy some silver (and gold if you can)
Attend The 21 Convention

TDL Reader: Cool. But, how will your convention survive and thrive if people are too broke to attend?

Me: Your going to be stunned when you see the convention revenue stream from year to year.

TDL Reader: Nah I wouldn’t be stunned. I see the beginnings of an intellectual revolution shaping up…….the silver lining of this economic disaster is that it’s going to give the heroes a chance to step up, stand out and gain a following.

~~~

The chart you see above is the actual revenue stream of The 21 Convention from 2007 to the end of 2010. It does not include expenses — it is of gross revenue only.

It was calculated in dollars only. It does not account for inflation of the fiat US dollar. The 2010 data point includes both…

Drew Baye Super Charged [Video]

Drew Baye Super Charged [Video]

by on 30. Apr, 2011 in Exercise, The 21 Convention

 
Drew Baye’s speeches at The 21 Convention are really good [link]. His interview in The Community Tapes is IMO, even better [link]. This video however, is I think, the best ever produced of him.

It hit me during the filming just how valuable it was. Essentially, this is a video of Drew putting me through a full ‘Big 4 + Neck” workout in the spirit of Body by Science, explaining everything in superb detail for me, and you the viewer.

You then of course get to actually see me go through the workout, which was intense, to say the least (Drew is an outstanding trainer).

In short, it is a hybrid between a knowledge packed seminar style presentation, and an actual workout video, filmed in tandem with the information presented. It’s really cool and I have never seen it elsewhere to this degree and in this much detail.

Drew and I also make some important announcements at the end of this video (about the last 3 minutes if you want to skip…

Defining the Men’s Conference of the Century

Defining the Men’s Conference of the Century

by on 28. Apr, 2011 in The 21 Convention

Quoting my own response to a commenter’s criticism on The Spearhead, of which, The 21 Convention was recently featured on …

“A men’s conference would focus much less on women and much more on how to be a man.”

As the founder and CEO of the only long term men’s conference in the world, I will be the one to tell you that your definition of a “men’s conference” is no better than what you are inaccurately perceiving.

A true men’s conference is an event that aids men in becoming the men they can, and were meant to be — to grow into.

(It does not help them become “real men”, or “better men” — ie, the men feminists want us to be, something akin to sophisticated slaves.)

It helps them bring out and live the ideals they know are possible to them in physical reality. This is what I have stated on the website, in so many words, and I stand by it, as a young man gritting his teeth…

Tweet for the Doctor Who Can Change the World

Tweet for the Doctor Who Can Change the World

by on 24. Apr, 2011 in Miscellaneous, The 21 Convention

I’m really determined to make Doug McGuff’s speech at The 21 Convention 2010 the next “Sugar, the Bitter Truth” video (link). I am determined because I know the video has the potential to break into the hundreds of thousands of views, if not millions.

Doug’s ideas are truly revolutionary, because they are fully contrary to conventional wisdom on every level in this video. Not only are the ideas enough to spark a viewing stampede on Youtube, but Doug is unparalleled in his ability to communicate his ideas, in this field. Really.

His skill for condensing complex ideas down into something the lay veiwer can easily digest is bar none, the best in the world, in this field.

What can you do to support the doctor who can change the world? You can Tweet, a bunch. Specifically, a re-tweet of mine where Tony Robbins is mentioned along with the shortened Youtube URL of Doug’s speech.

Here is the Tweet.

Why this…

The Lounge Lives

The Lounge Lives

by on 22. Apr, 2011 in Independent Thinking, The 21 Convention

The Dream Lounge was where it all started. And I don’t mean this blog. I mean the original The Dream Lounge. Seen a screenshot here.

That was where everything started. That is the physical source of this blog, and of The 21 Convention. It was essentially a small, private forum, of the best young pick up artists I could find. At it’s peak, it was about 25, very active posters, from all over the world.

Members include many speakers of The 21 Convention. Nilatak, Alexander, Orleans, and Heartwork, among others.

The forum was 100% private. Members could and were banned for telling anyone about it. The front page was a dummy page that had something to do with furniture. Membership was granted by multiple references only, from lounge members, after the initial ~15 people were approved for the lounge.

I started this when I was 17.

While it’s history beyond the mentioned is not…
