I think a sort of modern trap for ambitious men is the idea of the optimized man. Cold baths, protein, supplements, fasting, green juice, red light therapy etc…
Not saying any of those things are bad, but over indexing on them feels like compensation for a profound lack of purpose.
The most dangerous man is not the one who endlessly optimizes it’s the one who believes something deeply and is willing to act irrationally in pursuit of it.
I call this behavior “somatic worship.” Definitely putting the wrong thing at the top of the value hierarchy.
