Creating A Masculine Culture

Really everything that I write about has to with masculinity. Whether is attraction, wealth, mindset, health, or even culture most, if not all of it, can be traced back to masculinity. Granted masculinity is a bit of a nebulous term but if you’ve read my writing enough I think you’ll get the gist of what I mean when I speak of it. The state of being a man in full. Not simply having male sex organs or having XY instead of XX chromosomes. Sure, it’s a physical thing but also a mental one and above all else a spiritual one.

It’s one of the most important topics that I address with my writings and one that underlies everything else. Culture is another one that is pivotal to understand how the world around you works and what you see. Creating and maintaining healthy cultures is what healthy families and societies have largely been about. With reproduction and power also goals. Culture is sensitive to change and is something that has to be passed down and protected to be preserved and take root in the next generation.

Something that the Western world failed horribly at. Not just failed as in “Ah man, you didn’t make it.” but in a “What the fuck is wrong with you?” failure type of sense. But that’s a topic for another time. And while understanding where things went wrong is important for understanding playing the blame game is a waste of time. We are where we are and we have to work with what we’ve been given. That’s just a fact of life.

Masculinity & The Primal/Cosmic Order

When I refer to what is good in life I’m referring to the primal/cosmic order, the order that underlies all things. That one that the Creator put into place here. You can get mad at that word and substitute Creator for “universe” or whatever but the principle still stands. The underlying order. The thing that many ancient cultures understood and lived by. The ebb and flow of nature and the universe. What is good and right and what is wrong. Not based on moralism or control but based on reality. A masculine culture is one that is based on the truths that this order reveals to man or that man finds out for himself.

For example regardless of what moralism says strength is good. Why is strength good? Because nature and the universe declare it good. The strong triumph over the weak and therefore nature and the universe has declared strength a virtue and weakness a vice. Therefore a masculine culture will understand this and make it part of the culture. Likewise nature and the universe have declared wisdom good and foolishness bad. For the wise are rewarded and the fool punished when all things even out. Sure there is chance and fate but they are fickle and you are foolish to rely on them.

But what fun would all this be without a little randomness? A masculine culture is one that supports masculinity as well as the primal/cosmic order. Not because I say so or because it sounds nice but because it’s what’s been shown to work and produce the best fruits, produce the best peoples. Now this all might be good theoretically but how do you do this in practice? How do you make a masculine culture yourself?

It Starts With You

There are many patterns that repeat themselves throughout nature and the universe. For example when you learn one skill, like say music, you see that there are patterns and such to all things whether art, science, or whatever else. It holds true for everything from mechanics to fighting to painting and more. Likewise patterns repeat themselves on macro and micro scales. People who make up a nation are like cells that make up a body. Get the wrong cells and the body fails or if the cells get sick or go bad the body will fail.

I’m not a doctor so I don’t know how literal that is but you get the main point. Cultures are made up of families which are made up of people. The first thing that you can do is address yourself. Become the man you were meant to be. Be masculine, be strong, be wise. Become more and greater then link that up with other things. With a family, with community. Strong men make strong families which make strong communities which make strong tribes which make strong nations and so on and so forth. Starting with yourself you impact everything down the line

Help those around you on their journey. Start a site, coach, have a “tribe” of sorts where you hold each other accountable, maybe a gym partner, maybe a group of friends. Iron sharpens iron. Hold others accountable and have them hold you accountable. Don’t shy away from this, it’s some of the most important work that you could possible do. Serve as an example and teach through deed but also through word. Maybe write a book, teach a course, do something to improve yourself and give back to the community around you.

A Masculine Future?

One can wonder and one can hope. But better to put in the work day by day then either wondering or hoping. Create the future that you want by starting with yourself and then working from there. Most are lost in the wilderness and searching for a voice of truth. There are plenty that will be offered to them but that won’t get them anywhere good. Be strong, be wise, be good according to the primal/cosmic order. Create a masculine culture by starting with yourself. Then see what impact you can have.
