Happy New Year Alpha-Acolytes. After an extended Holiday break I am back in the saddle in Seattle. I trust you all had as wild and exciting new year as I spent with family in the frozen midwest city of Minneapolis, aka little Somalia. Traveler’s tip: There is a treasure trove of exotic girls of East [...]
September 2008, the credit markets freeze up and the world economy enters a tailspin. Here in the states we are stricken with the sharpest economic decline since the great depression. Job creation dries up as companies simultaneously engage in vigorous cost cutting (read headcount reduction). A year later the Fed speaks of green shoots and [...]
This is the first in a multi-part series on the Alpha male and education. It should be obvious to any of us that career success and affluence is important if we define an Alpha male in terms of social dominance, which is the most apt description when arguing from a biological standpoint. Others have defined [...]
Research on birds and other animals that pair for rearing offspring has suggested that the battle of the sexes may be the glue that hold parents together in raising offspring. While one parent may pick up some of the slack for an absent or lazy parent, they don’t fully compensate for the lack. This may [...]
With the National Health Care bill before congress the cost of health care has been on everyone’s minds lately. Despite outspending other nations by orders of magnitude our level of national health is nowhere near as stellar. First our spending: Current estimates put U.S. health care spending at approximately 15.2% of GDP, second only to [...]
Little is more important to our success and accomplishments in life than self-discipline, yet little is more absent from many of the lives I see around me. Like most everyone my own self-discipline, while good, varies over time. I have conditioned myself to feel like I’m wasting time if my activities aren’t contributing to my [...]
I stumbled across this site and was stricken with a near-mortal case of the dry-heaves. This utterly confounds me as it is a complete perversion of the natural order of things. I can only surmise that this submissive male phenomenon has grown out of the rampant incidence of single-motherhood afflicting the nation. According to the [...]
I have often wondered at the dating choices people make. I’ve known a number of men who introduce me to their new girlfriend and all I can think upon meeting her is “Dude, you can do better.” Women too often choose astoundingly low-quality matches as evidenced by the women who date one abusive man after [...]
It’s no secret: residents of developed nations are getting mightily fat. I notice this more with every passing day it seems. It used to be presumed that people would put on weight with age. This age-related weight gain was considered normal, although health experts and nutritionists know that this doesn’t have to be the case. [...]
Despite government assurances the economy continues to falter with further problems for which we have yet to feel the effects. Though the market has rallied substantively off the March lows, most believe it to be a sucker’s rally and I have been using the opportunity to raise cash. I don’t buy the “green shoots” argument [...]
