| Your children have yet to be born. | |
| To align yourself with your parents at the expense of your future is to choose death over life, decay over growth, failure over birth. | |
| It is to choose a cemetery over a kicking crib. | |
| It is to choose lowering into the earth rather than hurling into the sky. | |
| Bye. | |
| Thank you. | |
| It is to choose wrinkles over rosy cheeks. | |
| It is to choose that whose choices are passed over those whose choices are yet to begin. | |
| And that regret of avoidance of taking that which is familiar rather than that which is new is the fundamental question, the fundamental question. | |
| Everybody, oh, sexual market value, sexual market value. | |
| Okay, let's talk about sexual market value. | |
| It's the most fundamental question you need to ask about dating. | |
| Most fundamental question. | |
| And I would appreciate some tips. | |
| I know I'm spitting straight fire here, but this is going to blow your mind because this is an encapsulation of what I've been doing for 20 years. | |
| Do my parents add to my sexual market value? | |
| That's the brutal, hard, deep, powerful, and essential question you must ask yourself. | |
| Do my parents, does my family of origin add to my sexual market value? | |
| Now, by sexual market value, I'm not just talking about sex, of course, right? | |
| I'm talking about dating, engagement, marriage, children, and so on. | |
| Do my parents add to my sexual market value? | |
| Are they a plus or a minus for quality people? | |
| Because if they add to your dating market value for trashy people, you're just dicing with death. | |
| Do your parents add to your sexual market value? | |
| In other words, are your parents someone, are your parents people that other strangers with no history and no ties and no bonds? | |
| Are your parents people that a virtuous stranger would be thrilled to know? | |
| Seriously. | |
| Bye. | |
| Thank you. | |
| You got to ask that question. | |
| You have to ask this question. | |
| And it has concentric rings. | |
| Concentric rings. | |
| Do my parents add value to a quality person with no history with them? | |
| do my parents add value to a quality person a moral person who has no history with them do my parents add value other than accidental history and unchosen bonds right Thank you. | |
| Thank you. | |
| Are they government workers or are they in the free market? | |
| That's the first question. | |
| Second question. | |
| What about my extended family? | |
| What about my siblings? | |
| Do my brothers and or sisters add value to my sexual market value? | |
| Do they? | |
| Do they treat you with good humor, with respect? | |
| Are they wise? | |
| Do they care? | |
| Would they be great aunts and uncles? | |
| If you're a man, do your siblings add value for you in the dating market? | |
| Would your siblings, because your siblings are going to be around longer than your parents in your life, right? | |
| So, let's say you're 25. Let's say you've got siblings in the 20s. | |
| Well, your parents are 25, your parents are probably 55 or whatever, so they've got another 30 years. | |
| Siblings have another 60 years. | |
| Siblings will be around twice as long as the parents. | |
| So you say, okay, if I met my siblings at a party and didn't know anything about them, would I want to see them again? | |
| That's your date, people. | |
| That's your girlfriend, your fiancé! | |
| That's how they see it, because that's what it is for them. | |
| If you had no history, do they add value? | |
| No history, no unity, no, well, we grew up together, no, well, they've been around forever, no habit, no nothing. | |
| Can you empathize with people who don't already empathize with your parents? | |
| Do your parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins? | |
| Are they people that other people of quality with no history will be happy to know? | |
| Do you follow? | |
| Shit, I've had this on my desktop for like a month to talk about. | |
| People are going to come into your life with no history, but the people you are bound with and to that you never chose. | |
| doesn't mean they don't have value, but they're coming in blind with no history. | |
| None. | |
| Are the people in your life a genuine plus to the people who've never had those people in their lives? | |
| Yes. | |
| Are the people in their lives a genuine plus to the people who've never had those people in their lives? | |
| Super deep, important question. | |
| What about your friends? | |
| Quality, moral, wonderful woman comes into your life. | |
| She sees your family. | |
| of origin, your parents, your siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins, and your friends. | |
| Are they a plus and a bonus for someone to get to know who has no history history? | |
| Have you held on to those friendships long past their expiration dates? | |
| Well, you know, we hung out a lot when we were teenagers and didn't really have any choice and we kind of came up together. | |
| Okay? | |
| Have you hung on to it too long? | |
| Has it become a ceiling or a cap? | |
| If you become more successful, do your friends become more resentful? | |
| Are they growing with you? | |
| Are they challenging you? | |
| Do you inspire each other to greatness, to better? | |
| Because if you're listening to this message, man, greatness is circling you like an angelic vulture. | |
| You have the potential. | |
| That's why you're listening. | |
| You have the potential. |
