Hardware Issues Versus Skill Issues In Daygame
What is a skill…
to some degree…
if I had to define it for daygame…
I would say it is something you can repeat over and over…
something you can drill down…
practice over and over…
and rehearse until it starts becoming part of you.
Then when you go into the field…
you are able to make adaptations in real time.
Of course…
that requires memory.
That means when you do these drills…
your muscle memory has to kick in.
And this is where the problem starts.
Because when you are very delusional…
I start giving you instructions about what your mistakes are…
but you cannot hear it.
That is already a hardware issue.
Why…
because you are delusional.
You listen to your audio infield…
and you tell me you cannot hear any mistakes.
But the first step is unconscious incompetence.
You are unconsciously unaware of what you are doing wrong.
Then when I point it out to you…
finally…
when I say listen…
if this audio was your cousin…
what do you hear…
that temporarily removes the ego defense distortion.
Your ego is trying to protect you by making you seem better than you really are.
So you are living in a fantasy world.
For a moment…
you can become consciously incompetent.
You can finally see the mistake.
But if you lose your memory again…
then you do not remember what was wrong…
and you go right back to unconscious incompetence.
That is what makes people uncoachable.
They go right back to the starting line like a total loser.
That is the trend I have been seeing.
Why Good Students Are Turning Into Zombies
The question is this…
are there students this year who can still go from conscious incompetence to conscious competence…
and then eventually to unconscious competence where it becomes second nature?
For some reason…
even students who were very good before…
or students who already got laid in the past…
are complete zombies this time around.
It is either money problems…
or the winner and loser effect.
The more you win…
the more testosterone you get.
The more you lose…
the more your whole system starts collapsing.
So yes…
it makes a lot of sense to reduce estrogen…
increase testosterone…
and use legal supplements if they help your hormones.
But sometimes it is too late.
Your hippocampus has already started shrinking from cortisol and stress.
Now you cannot even get from conscious incompetence to conscious competence…
let alone to unconscious competence.
And if you cannot get there…
then the skill never becomes second nature.
Most students never even reach that point anyway…
because their ego gets the better of them.
Cluster B Plus Cluster C Creates A Disaster
A lot of these students have cluster B traits mixed with cluster C traits.
That is the disaster combination.
What is cluster B…
sociopath…
narcissist…
borderline personality disorder…
histrionic show-off personality.
That is cluster B.
Then cluster C is more like…
avoidant personality…
hypersensitivity to criticism…
OCD-like traits…
anxiety…
avoidance.
When a student has both of those patterns together…
that is a very bad sign.
Because now you have someone who is arrogant…
triggered…
fragile…
defensive…
and always running away.
That kind of person is very hard to coach.
And lately…
that is exactly what I have been seeing more of.
The Biggest Sign Is Memory Loss
The biggest sign I keep seeing lately is memory loss.

If you are very forgetful…
and you cannot even remember 20 minutes of what to do…
that is bad.
I remember when I was doing Mental Trauma Cure…
we had protocols in place to help people remove trauma.
One student who was 21 years old could not even remember a single thing after like 10 minutes.
It was like the hippocampus part of his brain was just shut down.
I know this is not a positive message…
but the more you go through the loser effect…
the more your hippocampus shrinks.
Then your short term memory cannot turn into long term memory.
That means the drills become useless.
That means the skill work becomes useless.
And people do not wanna hear me use the word zombie…
but it is more like a decaying zombie to a point of no return.
Even good students are getting so decayed…
that when you try to teach them something…
it does not stick.
That is not good.
The Economy Is Creating Hardware Problems
Look at world events.
Look at Japan.
Lots of stress…
stagnation…
economic pressure…
low birth rate.
I know I repeat myself on this stuff…
but I want you to really understand it.
I keep harping on these ideas because they matter.
And no…
these ideas are not good for marketing.
That is not my intention here.
I am just telling you exactly as it is.
When you go out there…
you are gonna feel like a pressure cooker.
You have no money.
You are broke.
You are stressed.
You feel trapped.
I am not saying my audience are poor sewer rats in some literal way…
but I have been seeing a lot of poor behavior lately from people who clearly have no money.
When you look at Japan…
people are very poor…
very stressed…
and the birth rate collapses.
The same thing is happening in China.
Now Canada is becoming the new Japan.
The birth rate is going down…
people are living paycheck to paycheck…
and I heard that about 50% of them barely have $200 to their name.
So now you have to ask…
is this just a hardware issue…
or is the whole environment forcing you to lose?
In the United States…
they are not at that same level yet…
but they will catch up eventually.
In Western countries…
people can float themselves through debt and credit cards for a while…
so it hides how bad things really are.
But the point is that world events and money problems can absolutely affect your daygame.
Why Tactics Do Not Matter When The Brain Is Fried
I know this is not what people want to hear.
I could talk about tactics…
game techniques…
all the little tricks all day.
Maybe that is what I switch to later…
because even if I peel the onion and explain the deeper reason…
a lot of people still do not care.
One of the biggest realizations I have had is this…
when people turn MGTOW…
or become total losers…
not just losers…
but avoidant total losers…
they lose memory…
they lose motivation…
they always run away…
and they have no tenacity.
I have students who are right on the edge of breaking through…
and then they do not.
I ban them for a week.
I banned one student for two weeks.
He comes back…
and he is still root rotting.
It is like a plant that got overwatered…
then bacteria starts spreading everywhere.
That is what it looks like.
That is why I only ban one week at a time now.
Not longer.
If a student does not wanna learn from mistakes…
and insists on acting like a zombie…
then longer bans do not help.
Students Are Now Lying Through Their Teeth
Besides losing memory…
another thing I have noticed lately is that students are lying.
I have seen so many students lie about weight loss.
They have a protocol to lose weight…
but they cannot stop eating throughout the day.
Then they look at me in the face and swear to God…
swear on their mother’s life…
that they are not doing it.
You know they are lying through their teeth.
Other students lie about infields.
They say…
oh…
I got the infield…
I just forgot to record it.
Really…
unless you recorded it…
it does not count.
That means you never went out.
I have seen students make medical excuses too…
just to lie their way out of trouble.
That is where they are at now.
That is how low-functioning they have become.
And I never used to see this level of lying from them before.
That is why I keep saying…
something is seriously wrong.
Hardware Issues Mean Skill Cannot Even Stick
One thing people do not realize is that if you make enough approaches…
talk slow enough…
get her opening up more…
dress a little better…
stop hunching…
stop squaring off…
and stop playing a numbers game…
you can actually do very well.
That builds attraction.
That gets results.
But these people are so low-functioning that they cannot even hold onto the skill.
So when I say this is a hardware issue…
what I mean is that it is not just a software problem.
It is not just something you can rationalize your way out of.
It is not just some concept you hear once and now suddenly you have it.
Because if you do not have memory…
and your cortisol and the world events have wiped out your memory…
then how can you have skills?
I teach skill maxing through drills.
But how can you remember the drills…
if your hippocampus is not letting your short term memory go into long term memory?
That is the real problem.
And that is why so many people stay stuck.
Maybe I Need To Stop Talking About Skills And Start Talking About Game Again
Maybe if worse gets to worse…
I might have to change my focus.
Instead of talking so much about skills…
maybe I need to talk about game again.
Because when you really look at game for most people…
it is just looks… money… status… plus game.
There is no social skills.
There is no social calibration.
There is no emotional control.
It is just looks… money… status… plus game.
So maybe I should start talking more about gaming topics again…
because pickup artists are still the ones approaching.
They are still the ones who care about some kind of tactical edge.
That is why I even put it to a vote on the community section.
I said…
do you want more infields where I show hybrid openers…
different variations…
maybe a rejection proof course on how to open without getting rejected right away?
It would not even have to be expensive.
And what happened?
Across both of my YouTube channels…
one person voted yes.
One fucking person.
That tells you everything.
They Say They Want Infields… But They Do Not Actually Care
This is what people do.
They say…
make more infields, John.
Get a bigger audience.
Then people will buy more stuff.
But that is not what is happening.
They are deregulated.
Their nervous system is deregulated.
They turned MGTOW.
They are not going to approach.
Then I realized something…
instead of focusing on the people who need unquit day game approach again…
instead of focusing on the low self esteem people…
the cluster B…
the cluster C…
the runners…
the avoidant poor people who keep freezing…
why not focus on the people who are still interested in game?
That might be the better move.
Because on YouTube…
maybe instead of peeling the onion and trying to make everybody understand deeper concepts…
maybe I just need to use game as the hook.
If you are fishing…
metaphorically speaking…
you go where the fish are.
I do have videos on gaming topics already.
So maybe that is the course of action.
Not because it is the deepest thing…
but because at least some people still care.
The People I Tried To Help Still Did Nothing
This is what disappoints me the most.
I posted so much stuff to help people.
I made unquit day game approach again.
I made advice videos on bad weather.
I made videos on food cost.
I made videos trying to help people survive this era.
And the deregulated people still did nothing.
Because when somebody has a deregulated nervous system…
they do not act.
They freeze.
They are like an opossum.
When an opossum gets frightened…
it opens its mouth…
plays dead…
and does nothing.
That is exactly what is happening with these people.
The pressure cooker economy hits them…
they freeze…
they stare at you like you are crazy…
and then they do nothing.
But no…
you are crazy because you are poor…
acting like a window shopper…
and then pretending you care when you do not do shit.
That is the reality.
Maybe I Should Stop Trying To Build An Army
I thought…
why not build an army?
Why not get people in with something smaller…
then move them into Inner Circle Basics?
That was the idea.
But people do not even understand that.
They cannot even get the first part right.
Look…
if you cannot even get a date…
you still have a lot of work to do.
Especially when people talk like they expect to get laid right away.
It is like talking about a black belt…
when you cannot even get the yellow belt.
Yellow belt is just getting the first two dates.
Orange is changing venue once.
Green is changing venue twice.
Blue is changing venue three times.
Brown is pulling.
Black belt is getting laid.
And every year…
it resets.
This is a skill based game.
Whatever belt you are at…
you still have to learn new skills.
That is the truth.
I Am Looking For Tenacity… Not Fragility

This year has been a crappy year.
I am disappointed in people.
I really am.
Because I keep seeing the same pattern.
Students get close to a breakthrough…
then they run away.
They procrastinate.
They stall.
They have zero tenacity.
I am looking for tenacious people.
I am not looking for stubborn people with a one track mind who never change.
I am not looking for people with no memory.
I am not looking for people who are living paycheck to paycheck…
acting fragile…
and then expecting miracles.
That is not who I want in my funnel.
That is why I built Inner Circle Basics in the first place.
But what I am really looking for now…
is more Elite Bundle Resurrection students.
I want students with actual physical memory.
Students without hardware issues.
Students who can remember…
adapt…
and follow through.
If you have total hardware issues…
if you cannot remember shit…
if you cannot adapt…
if you cannot stop procrastinating…
then honestly…
fuck off.
I am done venting.

P.S, I’m not calling my audience a sewer rat. I’m just saying.. in general, don’t be a sewer rat. I’ve been trying to invest in myself and learn new skills too. Invest in yourself is my best advice. You get all the steps to win. Even if you find it harder to adapt to.
