>What does it mean to be a man in this modern world?To have control over one's passions and to be driven towards a noble goal, ignoring pain, pleasure, comfort and pride in pursuit of the achievement of said noble goal. To develop one's mind and body in line with the moral goal.
I was a dumb, scared, autist from 18-25. I got a job teaching physics and maths a-level (inb4 teachers are retards who couldn't make in industry or academia, yeah I have heard it all before). My main ambition at the moment is to apply for officer training as a engineering edcutaion officer in the Army or the Royal Navy. I do pull ups and lift weights every day to prepare for the selection process. I'm not tough but I have made significant progress compared to what I was a couple of years ago.
Improve your 'hegemonikon' (directing mind) and live in harmony and in congruence with the 'holon'/kosmos/nature. Read the Enchiridion or Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Most of what you need to know about being a man in in Meditations.
