I have done more critical thinking and inner reflection work in the past 2 months than over the rest of my life combined.
I have suffered greatly in my life. I am deeply dissatisfied with my lifestyle. And that is due to very incorrect assumptions I’ve held for a very long time.
2025 is my year of transformation. Possibly the biggest transformation in my entire life. I have managed to change my inner dialogue a lot, and I have adopted the necessary habits to achieve my life goals. But that isn’t enough. Within me, I often encounter resistance, and conflict. I often find myself whether I should sacrifice my feelings and happiness for practical purposes, or if I am being a fool for making decisions that are impractical to my goals.
After a lot of introspection, I managed to deconstruct many flaws in my way of thinking. These fallacies are common to many people.
And so, I have made the decision to write a philosophical manifesto.
Title: The Selfish Manifesto
These are the topics I will cover in the document:
- The lie of Common Truth – how society lies to you into believing others have the truth, and the problem with institutions defining truth, and the fallacy of appeal to popularity
- The lie of Oppression – how society instills in you a mindset that you are oppressed, and that you need to navigate the world through the lens of an oppressed individual who needs to either join a woke ideology, or to serve your masters
- The lie of Ideology – how society promotes distractions, fake solutions, fake cooperations, and fake ideas to pretend there is an ideology out there that will serve the “greater good” (Feminism, Wokeness, LGBTQ rights, Socialism, Capitalism, Marxism, and even low hanging fruit ideologies like Right Wing, Christianity, etc(
- The lie of Selfishness – how society demonizes the concept of selfishness, when in reality it rewards the most selfish individuals and smashes the least selfish ones
- The lie of Morality – how society twists notions of morality according to its corrupt needs, and how you shouldn’t fall for conformist moral systems
- How to take the Truth – how to discover the truth for yourself without relying on reading books written by others (yes I know it sounds self refusting but this point is anything but that), and stop seeking truth and validation from experts, and mainstream opinion
- How to take your freedom – how to accept that you have freedom, how to apply freedom into your own life, how to make tough decisions in order to maximize your freedom
- How to take your happiness – how to learn to be happy on your own, without relying on ANYONE to serve you, laugh with you, love you
- How to love yourself – how to accept your looks, your personality, essentially how to become such a narcissist that you give love to yourself
This is going to be the most anti-ideological, anti-conformist, antiwoke document ever written. And it is going to be very antithetical both to common spiritual teachings and to practical, stage orange self help concepts.
I will invite the reader to stop bending over backwards trying to receive validation and rewards from society.
I will refute the notion that “the Ego is the biggest Devil” and all of that terrible advice that spiritual teachers like Leo like to promote. The idea of hating your ego and trying to kill it, eliminate it, “transcend it”, is preposterous. If you live your life trying to diminish your ego, that is a path to guaranteed suffering.
I will present a healthy, timeless perspective on Selfish Egoism.
The document will be short. Between 50 to 100 A5 pages long. No bullshit. No stalling. No philosophical mumbo-jumbo. No counter-arguments, not bending over backwards to justify every little point I make.
I’m very excited about this project. After so much introspection, I believe I have some interesting universal truths to write here. And this is no exaggeration. These aren’t some weird ideology I am promoting. These principles should serve any individual, in any era, in any context. These are the most encompassing principles anyone could hope for. And they will serve me (and whoever reads this) to guide a powerful, authentic life.
The primary audience for this document, however, will be young men. I don’t expect some woke feminist Hollywood celebrity reading this with any amount of charitability or good faith. I am very aware this document will be perceived by many people as some toxic manosphere blackpill rant, or even as some cringe right wing Ayn Rand philosophy. This document will be very triggering for people who are married to their woke religion.
I’m very excited for this project. I predict I will have the document ready in 4-6 months. Maybe less. I will publish it here for free as PDF.
