    I remember a couple of years I was fasting and going on a hike with my wife and some friends. I happened to be the only fasting that day, because my wife was on her time of the month and the others were not Muslim. It was summer, so the days were ling and hot.... she asked me why I would do this hike while fasting. I told her, "A little bit of struggle never hurt anyone. It only makes you stronger."

    I'd recommend the book "Blueprint" (Nicholas Christakis; non-fiction). It's a very complex scientific book but it paints a more nuanced picture of human social collectives and hierarchies, and how/when they emerge. "Lord of the Flies" is just one of the more grim potentialities of how we organize in human society. (Although it's undeniable that this case occurs far too often in human society).

    I see this as a spectrum rather than black or white. You need to train yourself to be tough, in whatever way that is expressed, so that when you need it, it is always there. I'm a little disappointed that you don't share the same ideals to your daughter. I believe, in life, everyone needs a degree of toughness to endure any kind of difficulties that may come up. However, I won't go as far as to no show sign of comfort. It's a balance. And the reality is that we don't live in the age of Spartans anymore, we haven't for many many years.

    I understand the sentiment. I would make sure, as much as there is to learn from the Spartans, that there is a warning on the other side; most of their history and culture are gone. It was not essential for their way of life to preserve their ways for the future. The lesson today is to make sure that we are raising warriors instead of soldiers. Warriors innovate, soldiers obey. Soldiers fight from orders, warriors fight from principles. It is a difficult Way.

Ive been trying to be more disciplined and less indulgent, however im having a lot of trouble building a routine again like I had pre covid, gym + fasting for one. Im trying to be patient with myself because I don't expect I can go back to that overnight, at the same time I feel like I take 1 step forward 2 steps back. What do you think? Am muslim and do pray, don't get up for fajr and pray when I wake up which has made it very clear to me that im living a bad life.

    This is the only time I've felt something you said is completely absurd and baseless. 1) Croissant is not a "luxurious" food, it is a fairly plain breakfast bread which you have talked up far too much both here and to your sons. One day your son will achieve enough to receive a croissant, and he will say, "THAT'S IT???!" 2) Sparta was a slave society so please don't use Spartiatae as an example of being mentally tough. They didn't cook their own food, make their own clothes, work their own fields, forge their own swords and armor, stable their own horse, make their own beds, etc. They were outnumbered by the slaves whi waited on them hand-and-foot by as many as 50 to 1. If you study their history more closely you will find that, despite their few inspiring battles that have attained the status of legend, the Spartans had a losing record. Here is a link to a brief synopsis of some of the more famous of their many defeats: www.historyandheadlines.com/is-sparta-overrated-a-list-of-spartan-defeats/
    They lost more battles than they won, and I ask you...where are they now? Conquered is where. Largely because of their extreme overdependence on slavery. What could possibly be more opulent than having a bunch of slaves do all the work you don't want to do? 3) THIS! ISN'T! SPARTA! *offers croissant* if I ever meet your kid I'm gonna give him a fucking croissant. What will you do to stop me? Kick my ass? This isn't Sparta, man...that's assault you would go to jail for a long time. A croissant, or even a thousand croissants, will have no such impact on your kids' development as your anxious fantasy would have you believe. 4) Just curious, what is GSP's take on the croissant?
    I usually find you insightful, but this is sheer nonsense. You say croissant makes a lad soft? Ok...PROVE IT.

    Foraz is at his most ignorant (or should I say uneducated) when he tries to talk about socialism. He genuinely describes Canada as a socialist country. Perhaps someone in the chat can ask him for a definition of socialism... He seems to think that socialism is when you can't get fired from your government job lol

      Agreed. I am for free market capitalism, but if a society is 100% competition based with no safety net, it produces too much wealth gap and the downtrodden, ultimately leading to collapse in the form of revolution or societal depression. My home country South Korea is extremely competitive, and as a result it made economic miracle in the past half century, but the youth are burnt out and hopeless, leading to having the lowest child birth rate in the world. A healthy economy is one where everyone can utilize their unique strengths to contribute to society and themselves, both the competent/ambitious and those that aren't, relatively speaking.

    Come to a capitalist country and you'll see no shortage of under-qualified yet cozily employed (and often over-payed) government employees. It's common, and that's to say nothing of the innumerable employees at private companies who enjoy the same advantages, often given to themselves and often with no oversight. Economic competition is indirect violence; It's whistling past the graveyard to think otherwise. It's the law of the jungle flipped upside down so that the weak-bodied are able to prevail. It's all built on words that people choose to follow. There should be an achievable middle ground, and I don't disagree with the sentiment of the title of the video, although I would contend that having the occasional croissant amidst a life of discipline is a perfectly acceptable way to experience what human culinary creativity has to offer. Otherwise you may as well just be gobbling gruel 24/7.
