What advice would you give to your lost, discouraged, somewhat broken, and pessimistic brothers in the western world who have aspirations of doing well in the game?

This is a Northern elephant seal Or rather, this is the beach master. In seal culture, he's known as a Chad because "In this polygynous society, a high-ranking bull can have a harem of 30–100 cows, depending on his size and strength. Most copulations in a breeding colony are done by only a small number of males and the rest may never be able to mate with a female." [Wikipedia](reddit!. This is fairly common reproductive behavior among animals, and even with humans.

For example- did you know that as recently as 8,000 years ago, 1 Male got to pass on his genes for every 17 females that did? "The bottleneck coincides with the Neolithic Revolution, a period of rapid technological innovation that gave rise to agriculture, the domestication of animals, permanent settlements, and a surge in transport technology.

Make yourself into a desirable commodity.

Good luck friends.
