How To Become Dangerously Competent - Bedros Keuilian (4K)

What does man up mean to you?

Uh, man up just simply means to me to human up, as in human up to your highest potential. I think as humans, we're not all created equally. In other words, many of us, 95% of us, maybe even greater, operate as human animals. Impulsive, instinctive, reactive, selfish. Necessary for survival. However, consciousness dictates that we evolve to our highest self, that we become selfless, that we become servants, and that there is no user's manual that teaches Chris how to go from human animal to human being. Being, consciousness, radiance, connected to source or creator, right? And so man up, I manned up my way, which is why that was the title of my book. Manned up my way to becoming a better human, less emotional, more responsive, less reactive, and that led to becoming a better leader, better entrepreneur, better husband, better father. Led to overcoming many of my childhood traumas, sexual abuse, physical abuse. Um, but I can tell you that when you man up to your higher self, or human up to your higher self, uh, it's a gift. It's a gift. And we all start as human animals, because I believe that is our number one purpose we have to first develop and work through to then find our true purpose to serve humanity.

I'm feeling the word ascend here, you know? To-

Transcend.

Yeah. To become better than your base instincts.

Mm-hmm.

To transcend and include in, uh, Wilburian language. Yeah, it's, uh, I think an awful lot about how at the mercy of the confused chemical signals of our body we are.

Yeah.

You know? The- the reason that we do many things is because of the paths of least resistance or societal norms, or what we learned when we were a kid, or the way that we dealt with past traumas, or that thing that we want right now.

Yeah.

And that, to me, doesn't feel like liberation. That feels like slavery.

It is. It- it is modern day slavery. Uh, and I do believe that the opposition, you know, news media, big pharma, military industrial complex, food industry, the government certainly, controlled by all those elements, uh, have a oppressive benefit. They have a- they have a reason to oppress humanity and keep them as human animals, as dependent and needy and reactive and emotional as possible, because that is how you then manipulate and get control and compliance.

Hm, so I had this conversation with Eric Weinstein a couple of months ago about the objective of modern media is not to convince you of any one narrative, but to make belief in all narratives be less certain. And I- I don't disagree. I think that fire hosing as a, uh, tool is very useful in making people uncertain about the future.

Yeah.

What I couldn't get to, and Eric couldn't either, was what is the end goal usefulness of that? Because I don't just see people being, uh, pliable, complicit, compliant citizens. I have seen as many, if not more people use their new distrust in mainstream media and pharma companies and so on and so forth. I've seen as many people use that as the activation energy to become almost rebels as I have people roll over backward and say, "Please, Mr. Big Government, just tell me what to do." So, I was skeptical, at least a little skeptical that this strategy is either achieving the outcomes that they meant or is actually coordinated because it doesn't seem to be making a pliable populous as far as I can see. Do you get where I'm coming from here?
