A speaker argues young men aged 16 to 28 should work six days a week, twelve hours a day to build utility and resourcefulness. He says personal value comes from what you can do, not social media self-esteem, and that abundant energy at that age should be traded for skills through repetition and failure.
I'd like to normalize a 6-day-a-week, 12-hour-per-day work week for men between 16 and 28. And despite all the self-worth voodoo that social media and society will tell you, you are valued based on your utility. And when you're young, you have none, but you have a lot of energy. And so trade that energy for experience points and become useful. Many people don't start things because they don't have the capital, they don't have the connections. It's about resourcefulness, not resources. Like, your resourcefulness is the character trait that you need. The resources is what you acquire through resourcefulness. And so if you have energy, you use the resource you have, you use what you've got to trade, to develop experience, to develop proof that you can get good at a skill. And you only get good at a skill by not being good at a skill and repeating it and then failing at each time and then making incremental improvements, which take many, many repetitions until you actually get good.
