Hello, Laddingtons.
I'm checking in from Paradise.
As you can see, I'm checking in with a quick update.
I wanted to tell you all that I was wrong in a certain matter.
So, I'll get straight to the point.
Almost two years ago now, I decided to cut my hair and I did it to sort of transform myself into being more of a role model.
But then, after a lot of meditations, contemplation, I decided that that wasn't really my role to have.
My role is a bit different.
And of course, I don't regret cutting my hair.
I mean, it's grown out nicely now, and it made me gain some additional perspectives upon my role in the grand scheme of things.
So, what I realized was that I was a bit arrogant, and in my hubris, I thought I had reached all of the people I could reach because I knew then that I was shadow banned on YouTube, etc.
So, I thought I have with my unique appearance, I have reached everyone I can reach, so therefore, I will transform myself into something that perhaps I'm not really as good at being that type of role model.
Machiavelli talks about lions and foxes.
I was never really good at being a fox, so I might as well be a lion, a complete lion instead, and focus on doing what I do.
And on a personal level, if we're talking about gaining attention, etc., I have gained enough attention to last me more than enough attention to last me a lifetime.
So, it's not about my personal wishes, it's just what I can do, how I can contribute the most to a cause that is larger and more important than myself.
So, if I say that I have a unique aesthetic with my hair to gain more attention, it's to spread a good message.
And what I mean with in my arrogance and hubris that I cut my hair again, I thought I had reached the people I could reach, but I've learned something now as of late as well.
That with the decline of places like YouTube, Twitter, I got my Instagram and Facebook removed.
You go to different places, different platforms where you can recruit a new audience, so to speak.
And in doing so, it's better for me to have my unique look.
Now, second part about being a role model: I do, of course, try my hardest to be a good role model, but it's not necessarily true in many cases.
And in many cases, I also wouldn't encourage younger guys to necessarily take my path.
And then it's more reasonable for me to be a champion or a standard bearer of sorts for a certain idea for a certain cause, than to be someone to emulate, than to be a strict role model in that sense.
So, everyone has a different purpose.
My purpose is to be again a bit more true to myself, and in having my hair, I am a bit more true to myself instead of trying to be something I'm not as good at, which is then being you know, perhaps the more clean-cut, represent presentable role model.
You know, we have other guys who can do that, who can do it a lot better than I can, so I might as well focus on what I can do.
Now, to the last point, I will talk about archetypes in a coming podcast episode.
What I can say now is that I have, of course, an artist within me, and I use I create art with my own appearance.
And now, of course, I've been sun maxing, I've been hitting the gym quite hard.
I'm in a good shape and when I'm creating this heroic art as I mentioned in my Sun and Still book review, it looks better with the long hair.
I can create better art with the long hair and it of course goes into you know presenting myself as a standard bearer or a champion of certain ideals.
So long story short I don't encourage anyone to have long hair.
I have it myself because that is my unique role.
I do certain things because it's up to me to do it.
It doesn't mean that you should do it.
You have your own role, you have your own destiny to fulfill.
And in most cases you should always of course listen to what I have to say but you should not necessarily, unless you want to of course you can do whatever you want with your own hair but I am still recommending for all men to have a nice tidy clean haircut.
So anyway that was the update now you know why I have decided to save out my hair again.
Thank you for watching.
