I owe you guys one

Well guys, I’ve had my come to Jesus moment.

After a month or two of being on and off the twitter-verse, and after a few long and drawn out conversations with a few of you, I’ve come to accept that the challenge of providing good, useful, relationship content to you guys comes at a real price.

Part of the challenge of being one of the few dissenting voices in the relationship space is that you spend a lot of time discussing issues that are at times very near and dear to your heart, and that could have a SIGNIFICANT impact on other people’s lives.

After a few tough circumstances in my personal life, and after a few heavy doses of psychedelics, I start to realize that I have a privileged role in this community/all of your lives, and I would be a complete asshole if I did not wield that power and influence in a way that positively affected your lives. My conscience, for better or worse, has grown, lmfao.

What does that all mean?

Look, I’ve done a lot of soul searching, and I’ve had a lot of “open and honest” discussions with my girlfriend, and the reality is I cannot, in good conscience, lead all of you down the path of degeneracy, because I know how chaotic and how difficult it is at times.

I am a big believer in Karma, and because of that, I feel like leading all of you down that path would ultimately weigh on my soul on my deathbed, because I would have inadvertently created a lot of chaos and trauma in the world when I could have spared you and your partners that in the long run.

Where does that take us?

I think the path here is still uncharted.

I think there is an opportunity to strike a careful balance between teaching you guys how to employ some powerful, fool-proof techniques to seduce people, and arming you with weapons grade filth that will create chaos in the world.

I also think I would be doing all of you a disservice if I wasn’t also guiding you guys away from the ditches that I’ve spent a lot of time swimming in, as well.

Don’t take it from me, take it from Chief Degenerate Officer Dan Bilzerian, the degenerate/pleasure-seeking life is simply NOT the answer:

I KNOW, you’re going to say “easy for you and Dan to say, you’ve lived the life already.”

I get it, it sounds a little condescending, but I can’t, with a conscience waste your time by selling you bullshit that I know genuinely isn’t the answer to life.

Looking out toward the horizon, I think my content will reflect some of these newfound “learnings,” and I will try to walk the almost impossible line of balancing both.

At the end of the day, to maintain a healthy relationship in the long run, you have to be really good at seducing someone, but you must also know how to connect with them on a more human level as well.

If you’re here for the degenerate shit, stick around, that is fundamentally part of who I am and part of my story.

If you’re here for more introspective, psychological, meaningful discourse on healthy relationships, stick around, that’s probably more important than anything else I discuss, and will serve you well in the long run.

In other words, Barracuda has come to Jesus (no, I am not going to church again lmfao), and I am making an active choice to radically disagree with the traditional RP perspectives.

We’re transcending the RP narrative together, and creating a third way, one that ACTUALLY leads to fulfillment in relationships.

Expect the same funny commentary and raw truths you’ve come to appreciate this editorial for, expect realistic advice from someone who has live fast and hard and somehow is now repairing a lot of the trauma his previous life created, and expect a more nuanced opinion than anything else you find online.

My ask for all of you

The success of this thing depends largely on your engagement.

My stories and ideas only fuel this thing so far, so please, drop me a DM, a comment, or an email with questions about topics.

If I notice a specific topic reaches critical mass, it will warrant the creation of content regarding that particular issue.

I want whatever small legacy, whatever small mark, I make on this side of the internet, to be genuine and actually helpful to people, so I will try my best to give all of you open and honest perspectives on a topic that so easily gets co-opted to drive an agenda or to make money.

I don’t really care much for either of those (well, I still need to put a roof over my head, but the intent isn’t to become a millionaire off this), so all you get from me is the unabridged truth.

Thank you for your continued support. The show will begin again in 3…2…
