You are mis-associating being a balanced human being (equally feminine and masculine in balance as the situation demands it) with being passive, which is overly feminine, and then referring to that as 'Zen'. As I said, real strength doesn't need to demonstrate itself on a whim because it knows itself. Bullies are some of the most insecure people on planet earth when you get to know them.
Did the bullies in school get girls, yes. Because girls generally mistake that for 'alpha' and these are the same women that can't differentiate between genuine dominant males, and abusive assholes that will treat them like shit and possibly slap em around. That doesn't mean as a grown man you should be following that concept, when you obviously have developed yourself to the point where you have way more to offer than some pseudo-masculinity shield you wear to protect your inner child from getting hurt.
Men deny the feminine aspect of themselves because they fear other men will think of them as weak. But what kinda 'alpha' cares what other men think?
Here's another example of a man that's actually balanced, and thus is able to express emotion/passion without fear in a way that touches people. This is not weak.

Just be yourself.
Bro, spare me this SJW, pseudo-psychoanalysis bullshit. And I'm pretty well-versed in esoteric concepts, which is how I was able to determine that you're biased in favor of a feminine-centric worldview in the first place. The notion that America is too "yang," or contains too much of the fire element (expansion and action) is absurd. It's the exact opposite. We're a nation of cucks that'll do anything to get pussy.
The entire concept of a "pseudo-masculinity shield" is just a softer way of phrasing what the feminists call "toxic masculinity," a shaming term to stop men from engaging and indulging in their natural instincts. Women aren't responding to "bullies" because they're being tricked. They're responding to those men because that's what they're subconsciously, legitimately attracted to.
Man was not meant to "just be yourself." That's bullshit parroted by women. In the sexual marketplace, men are generally the pursuers and women are the seduced -- hence the whole point of DMSI, to turn women into the pursuers. So, of course they say stupid shit like "just be yourself." That's all they have to do to get tons of dick. Nothing. Just exist.
Men don't have that intrinsic worth. We're born as NOTHING. And you'll DIE as nothing if you "just be yourself." We're judged by the weight of our deeds. "Just be yourself" is little more than an empty platitude for men. It means, never improve. Never master yourself or your world. As men, we're to forge ourselves in the flames of expansion and mold ourselves into something great. And that's the issue with "zen," at least in the way you're using it. It's just inaction. It's not even self-mastery. It's not expansion. It's stagnation. And then, you've somehow convinced yourself that you're better than other people for doing absolutely nothing.
Shannon says he's zen. Shannon is an outlier. This man is a real life Professor X -- the single most knowledgeable authority on the subconscious mind in the entire world. Most of us can't compare ourselves to Shannon or even use his idea of zen, because his zen is rooted in ACTION.
What have YOU done, Zero, that qualifies you to educate me on how I should define my masculinity, MY zen? What have you accomplished? What have you achieved? How many women have you banged, compared to those "bullies?"
What has happened in YOUR life that makes you SO SURE that your way is THE way?

Still debating whether to stick with DMSI or BASE. Leaning heavily toward the latter. I know everyone's gonna be like, omg resistance, but I can tell the difference between resistance that's rooted in fear and resistance that's rooted in logic. And THIS is logic.
