Yin To The Yang

The problem with constant communication through text messaging, Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest is that failure to participate in these silly little games can actually cost you notches.

Wait, what? Cost you notches?

Yes. Because an 18 year old girl coming off the production line and entering the meat market of university has an ego that has been pumped into the stratosphere.

So you need to adapt. I don’t do Facebook or Twitter or Pinterest but I do text.

Text random stuff at random times is an easy way to make your presence felt in the world of someone who gets 50 likes for each retarded status update she posts.

Mysterious. Brief. Bait for the 21st century.

If she bites, Always Be Closing.

Let’s drink

Bring some DVDs over

Meet me at [XXXX]

If she doesn’t bite,

Vanish.

If you open your mouth often enough during the day or when you’re at the club, this is not fucking complicated.

Spinning multiple plates makes it damn easy to get someone over to yours on a rainy Monday evening.

So stop reading blogs and open your fucking mouth.

They’re Not Working Out For You

When you see gorgeous young women on their way back from the gym all sweaty and looking hot, they’re not working out for you.

You see, competition among women for the alpha males of society has seen many invest heavily in the things that alpha males find attractive – slim, toned bodies and a pleasant, feminine demeanour.

I still don’t think that guys have clicked about how all-encompassing the desire for top-notch men is amongst young women.

They are literally obsessed with it. And the lengths that they will go to in order to raise their status relative to other girls is immense.

Bitching about other girls, back stabbing, cheating on boyfriends and husbands, having affairs with higher-ranked co-workers amongst other things.

Attractive girls are not working out for you. They’re working out for the apex males that make them wet.

Until you are an apex male, you will always be getting scraps.

Therefore, in this day and age you cannot be average.

You must become an apex male. You must rise above everyone else. You must become successful for yourself in every single domain that you can – academically, career-wise, financially, physically and sexually.

Otherwise you’ll never experience the pleasure of a 19 year old hottie feeling insecure because you lift weights 4 times a week and she only goes 3 times a week plus 2 sessions of bikram yoga.

Diminishing Returns From Blogging

Although my writing has improved, I have started to feel diminishing returns from this blog.

I no longer enjoy writing updates here.

The manosphere and the doom-and-gloom of ZeroHedge makes me very worried about the future.

Despite things going well for me personally, I don’t think I’ll update this blog very often.

Aside from occasional essay type posts, which funnily enough draw the least traffic even though they are definitely my best writing so far.

I have other things to do that are better uses of my time.

But I hope that something I’ve written helps some young guy like myself avoid common mistakes.

It only takes one blog post to trigger a mental contagion effect.

I know one Roissy/Heartiste post a few years ago did that for me.

If I had never read that post, I would not be the man I am today.

The South Canterbury Finance Five

A few months ago I wrote about how the people accused of a $1.775 billion dollar fraud related to the taxpayer bailed-out South Canterbury Finance were afraid of their own names and got name suppression.

The five people I will be investigating and writing about as the trial progresses are the following:

1. Lachie McLeod, former CEO of SCF
2. Edward Sullivan
3. Robert White
4. Terry Hutton
5. Graeme Brown

The charges include theft by a person in a special relationship, obtaining by deception, false statements by the promoter of a company and false accounting. They carry maximum penalties of between seven and 10 years in prison on conviction.

It is plausible that they have been very naughty boys.

How?

Well, after South Canterbury Finance got the Crown Deposit Guarantee behind them, they allegedly entered into many risky loan deals that enabled them to shuffle paper around so that related party loans were paid off and the ponzi scheme finance company operation could continue.

I say ponzi scheme, because many finance companies disclosed in their prospectuses that if they did not have investors rolling over their investments and fresh investments coming in, they could not meet their obligations to investors when it came to paying interest quarterly and paying out redeemed debentures.

I find the collapse of South Canterbury Finance fascinating. It seems that innocent old man Allan Hubbard was actually a dodgy bastard. He was taken for a ride by every wide boy south of the Bombay Hills and some in Auckland!

The loan book was to the worst kinds of businesses – hospitality, property development, hotels i.e. real sub-prime crap that the major trading banks wouldn’t touch. Some of the guys lent money by South Canterbury Finance had been involved in major company collapses before.

There have even been outright frauds like Gavin Bennett of DataSouth that have come out of the woodwork following the collapse of SCF and the invocation of the government guarantee.

Essentially, South Canterbury Finance was a Timaru based bunch of provincial hicks who got taken for a ride by the big boys in better suits and with hotter wives and girlfriends.

They tried to play in the big leagues and got burnt so bad that New Zealand taxpayers, most of whom could never afford to invest in anything as a function of low household incomes, got to pick up the tab.

I will be following the trial very closely because this sort of thing disgusts me. Provincial upstarts should not meddle with things they possibly cannot understand. We have a cognitive elite for a reason!

 

 

 

Government Can’t Pick Winners

Billionaire Peter Thiel and the NZ Government are launching a $40 million dollar venture capital fund.

The problem with government-backed venture capital funds is that they offer no better odds than the horse track.

The NZ government has a history of providing grants to politically connected technology entrepreneurs, and then not insisting on a payback when these firms are sold for millions of dollars to primarily US firms.

Taxpayers are already giving money away and not receiving anything in return. Only a handful of high skill technology jobs are created in New Zealand, primarily trading offshore means minimal NZ taxes are paid and the wealth created by the sales is primarily spent on imported luxury goods anyway.

Instead of trying to pick winners, encourage anyone to become a winner.

For all of the anti-business Obama rhetoric I can see how allowing immediate deduction of up to $1 million in capital expenditure and lowering small business tax obligations could be a major boon for the United States.

New Zealand already has a simple and generous business framework to operate in, but if the government wants to encouraged technology startups how about a $50,000 tax credit if you start up a technology business that earns more than NZ$50,000 in the first 12 months.

That’s smarter economic policy. But let’s let the grey-haired retards continue to call the shots and watch our top computer science and engineering grads move to Wall Street or Palo Alto.
