I read that Unz article and realized it wasn't just me; something was always off with Mathis. Ran out of gas trying to read some of his articles and stopped trying
Fascinating how Miles Mathis remind me of an iq 150 gamma friend I have. Said friend wants to 'win' every conversation we have, turning simple sharing of my love for a tool into an annoying debate. Miles Mathis wrote :
October 15: OK, I'm back from the orc pit. It was hopeless over there, since no one was lucid enough
to realize when they were beaten.
For him everything seems to be about winning, much more important than learning it seems. Even when Vox didn't attack him but said enough that Mathis would perceive him as attacking.
I suspect that is one important gamma aspect that caused Vox to know he would return more certainly than the sun rises tomorrow.
Its seems hard work to preserve illusion bubbles.
It also fits my experience when accidentally touching peoples other illusion bubbles. Aggresion and vitriol erupts like a vulcano.
Also funny how Miles fail to realize that him posting a picture with his mother just tells the rest of us no woman can stand him for long except his mother. Sad.
I don't buy he cannot change that behavior, but of course we cannot change it for him. If he realize he is fine as he is being a beautiful soul of God, and want to relate better to other people, he will change quite naturally. However it does seem to be very rare for Gammas to come to that realization.

Wow. I just went and read both Ron and Miles articles. I don't even know where to begin with this one...
Not being a follower of Mile's work, are any of the links he gives even decent? I've read Unz over the years, enough to trust that the man believes what he says. Miles comes off as having a chance at being dead right, but more likely being a crazy nutter. And, since I trust Unz more to being with, I lean towards the latter.
Not that you can't have both of them be true or work with both to find truth, but this isn't a good look for starting with Miles.
If one scrolls to the bottom of https://mileswmathis.com/updates.html and scrolls gently up, appreciating his portrait work and reading the essay titles & synopses, the artist will introduce himself.
Something will be of interest, different for everyone - the Dunblane Shooting happened when I was a teenager & was in the UK news for years. It's a guest writer using Miles' method with notes from Miles, so it has that /pol/ anon legitimacy that I like. But if you aren't British, you won't care about that essay. Maybe Karl Marx, Hitler, or one of the US President Assassinations?
Never before has one man been so insulted and outraged by such a huge compliment about his production. Or, the committee doth protest too much, methinks.
It’s a great example of the predictive power of the SSH, but the SSH is always this predictive. There’s a reason why I embraced it so quickly. Social precognition in the right circumstances.
A “truth teller” unintentionally proving reality by railing against against it is approaching irony overload.
It amazes me that most pundits are so gamma in nature, but in their entertaining way, they hide it well. I listen to a sports talk radio show, which is a New York show on WFAN. It starts at 6AM when I get into my car to go to work every morning. It’s called “Boomer and Gio Live”.
Boomer (Esiason) is without a doubt an alpha. As a former NFL quarterback, he is way more analytical, less emotional, more rational, but also less entertaining than his partner Gio, who rants, raves, and bashes any sports figure that he gamma rages over. Gio also does really good impersonations, which I imagine might be a gamma trait, especially if they are imitating people in mockingly way.
The dynamic was very interesting to listen to when they first became partners. I could sort of tell they were like oil and water. Boomer had many on air conversations with Gio about how he needs to act in order to raise his status. Over time, Boomer challenged Gio to play golf, bicycle ride, and to come out of his gamma shell by challenging him to be more open minded and less “doom and gloom”. Boomer took Gio under his wing and befriended him by inviting him to things after work such as golf outings, sporting events, dinners, bicycle fundraisers and generally made him part of his entourage.
Since the on air relationship of the Alpha and the Gamma started, Gio has lost significant weight, has become an avid golfer, is still entertaining, and is generally more agreeable. Boomer is the same.
For those not from the area, Gio replaced a guy named Craig Carton, who later did time for running a Ponzi scheme, being sentenced to 3½ years for securities and wire fraud. If you are curious what Carton is like, he is currently the host of Breakfast Ball on FS1 where one of his two co-hosts is Mark Schlereth, a three-time Super Bowl champion at guard.
Anyway, I'm not sure if I would describe Carton as a Gamma; he is more like the annoying little brother than anything else. I think he is higher on the SSH than Gio; what do you think?
Carton is either alpha or sigma. Look at his wife.
Either way, he is a ticket taker. He was pushing too much Trump and then he got tossed in jail. Gets out, refuses to talk politics except to endorse Chris Christie against Trump. Now he has his own show and probably makes more than the advertisers pay.

Described as a “modern lesser genius” by the world’s smartest man and “rises all the way to pure evil” in the view of the senior editor at Tor Books.
Laying it on kind of thick, aren't you? It leaves the question. Who's the world's smartest man?
Just the facts, man. The other "lesser genius" identified by Langan is Martin van Creveld, who I can confirm is one of the very few geniuses I've ever known.
Van Creveld's book Pussycats attests to this both in how novel and insightful it is on the problems affecting Western Men, Youth, Military, and Society.
There was never any chance. And no, I skimmed the first eight, didn't even look at the additional pages except to confirm that it was, indeed, increased to 13.
Well, to be fair to Miles Mathis, it's not like Miles showed up out of the blue at someone else's website and then tried to take over the comments section by making everything about him. Unz did, basically, throw an egg at him, and specifically him.
The whole thing is made worse because Unz's criticism of Mathis is not very good.
"When you know who and what you are, it doesn’t bother you very much when others recognize it too. If you find yourself getting offended when others happen to notice obvious and undeniable truths about you, that’s a warning sign that you might be deceiving yourself about a few things"
It is only an imposter who gets offended when discovered for his manipulative behavior, making others do things for him. Gaslighting the targets into submission is usually the next course of action because the secret king must win at all cost.

Remind me of the leftist wall of text compared to actual memes.

" Miles comes off as having a chance at being dead right, but more likely being a crazy nutter."
Yes.
Fair. But coming as someone who will follow AC down some rabbit holes... seems out there.
If one *must* pick between connected normie Jewish money-man, and independent off-beat heritage American hermit-genius, go with the latter.
Otherwise, why not both?
Vox do you play poker at all? I think you'd be a menace at the table with reads like this.
No, I don't gamble.
Never before has one man been so insulted and outraged by such a huge compliment about his production. Or, the committee doth protest too much, methinks.
The MilMath Committee thing is a neg.
Compliment: your output is exceptional, you really do the work of twenty people.
Neg: your output is exceptional, your committee must have, what, twenty people producing it?
And the response to this neg is what it is.
When people say SSH is bro science, we say 'yes, we trust bros with gains more than a corrupt coinflip.'
The late first millenium AD Veneto chair is supposed to protect the head and neck. It’s by design!

Laying it on kind of thick, aren't you? It leaves the question. Who's the world's smartest man?
"Who's the world's smartest man?"
Per the tests, and his work, Christopher Langan (that we know of).
Just the facts, man. The other "lesser genius" identified by Langan is Martin van Creveld, who I can confirm is one of the very few geniuses I've ever known.
Van Creveld's book Pussycats attests to this both in how novel and insightful it is on the problems affecting Western Men, Youth, Military, and Society.
When he talks about the world's smartest man, he is referring to Christopher Langan.
DELTA: Here is the complete dossier I’ve compiled on Ron Unz. What do you have next for me?
That made me laugh harder than it should
"I have literally never, ever, had more faith in an future event taking place in my entire life."
What would you think if he responded with otherwise', Simulation Theory confirmed?
And did you read all 13 pages?
There was never any chance. And no, I skimmed the first eight, didn't even look at the additional pages except to confirm that it was, indeed, increased to 13.
Well, to be fair to Miles Mathis, it's not like Miles showed up out of the blue at someone else's website and then tried to take over the comments section by making everything about him. Unz did, basically, throw an egg at him, and specifically him.
The whole thing is made worse because Unz's criticism of Mathis is not very good.
13 pages pages to accomplish what two simple words, fuck and off, would have accomplished.
They'll both be there all week.
Enjoy the roast beef!
If Unz is also a Gamma, even funnier.
The response part is one of the best distilled explanations of the SSH you’ll find.
"When you know who and what you are, it doesn’t bother you very much when others recognize it too. If you find yourself getting offended when others happen to notice obvious and undeniable truths about you, that’s a warning sign that you might be deceiving yourself about a few things"
It is only an imposter who gets offended when discovered for his manipulative behavior, making others do things for him. Gaslighting the targets into submission is usually the next course of action because the secret king must win at all cost.
