Shannon's Journal Discussion

[Shannon]

Renaissance Man is just another word to define the same thing, Alpha. What is happening is that you don't understand each other because you use different word but you mean the same thing.

And then you disagree because you feel more connected to another word.
Even the word alpha wouldn't need to exist, just man would be enough. But people invented the word just to feel a little above the others.

But anyway -- honestly, I'm perfectly happy with the way AM6 turned out. If anything, AM7 should be the same, just stronger. If we're making radical changes, however, I think we should stop focusing on becoming "alphas," and becoming "Renaissance Men." Imagine how the world would be today if we stopped dedicating our lives to getting laid, fighting with each other over race and crap and instead focused on developing our talents and applying them to the world in a useful way. The money, the women, and the success would follow naturally.

You are defining the AM program but you want to add the name renaissance man above.
Shannon use the word transcendent Alpha, it seems alpha wasn't enough yet again.

Alpha wasn't enough because there are two types of alpha. Those who rely on the ability to demonstrate physical strength and/or intimidation to achieve and maintain alpha and those who achieve alpha by being masters of themselves. The former always fades away over time, and the latter always gains in strength over time. It's worth differentiating.
