Maybe not all of them... but possibly up to 80 percent could still be.

That's the percentage of Covid deaths that were actually caused by Covid itself according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (up until 31 March 2023).

the superior man feels an urge to mentor the chode.

it is a noble endeavour.

i hope carl did go to the footy and re integrate with society.

reading tweets about masks all day is no way to live

Carl hasn't been to the footy since 1973.

My uncle took my mother and I to Lathlain Park to watch Perth Football Club (nicknamed the Demons) play.

He was a big Perth fan. He died in 1992.

Can't remember who Perth played or if they won or lost.

From memory, it was only the second or third time I'd been to the footy.

50 years ago. And I'm pretty sure I won't be going to the footy ever again.

That was the last place I went to the footy too - Lathlain.

And I also watched the Demons.  They were playing the Falcons (West Perth).

It must have been about 1983.

Some woman behind me spent the entire time yelling "Caaaaaarrrrn coach!"

I think she meant "Come on coach".

Never again.

not at all.

as we climb the narrow road to success, we have an obligation to throw down ropes to try to help others haul themselves up.

unfortunately success barriers and limiting beliefs mean most will reject the assistance.

thats something the superior man cannot control.

but the act of mentoring is , in and of itself, helpful to the superior man .


emotional states are addictive
people who are sulking are getting a pay off from the sulking.

maybe when you were a child you were sulking and mum tried to give you a chocalate ice cream to snap you out of it.

many kids will toss the ice cream on the floor

people want to stay in the emotional state that feels familiar.

is it your mums fault if you are sulking and toss the ice cream back at her
not at all

her act is not driven by arrogance or contempt
it is driven by compassion.

its on YOU to change.
to grow up and stop being a scared and angry child

So your act of mentoring is one of self-interested opportunism to feel superior and is not altruistic.

Paying someone off to snap out of an undesirable emotional state is not an act of compassion - rejection of the payoff signals that the receiver is aware that they're being paid off to repress emotion and that the benefactor is likely attempting to avoid intimacy and authenticity.

its a nod to a great book, all men should read

David Deida, “The Way of the Superior Man” honest book review.

Plot Summary
Masculine Essence. In a way, the Superior Man is someone who generates energy from the Masculine and sends that off into the world — his career, relationships, and purpose. It’s a call to action for men to evolve beyond the macho jerk ideal and the sensitive and caring wimp ideal. The first is all spine and no heart. The second is all heart and no spine. David Deida's Superior Man is the fusing of those two characteristics into a single man.
