Certain items highlight a Sigma Male's preference for practicality, durability, and a style that strays from the mainstream, reflecting his unique personality and primarily minimalist approach to life.

Here is part one in a series of suggestions for men's apparel, accessories and consumer items (some of which may be considered passé or obsolete), but will resonate with minimalists and individuality-focused Sigma Males.

Sigmas value the personal touch and the intentional pace of writing, allowing for deeper reflection and creativity unmediated by screens.

3. Classic Aviator Sunglasses: While fashion trends lean towards modern eyewear designs, a classic pair of retro aviator sunglasses enhance your direct sunlight vision. They offer a distinctive look and set you apart from the crowd while providing UV protection. Although newer, trendier frames come and go, classic aviator sunglasses remain a practical choice with their timeless design and excellent sun protection. They embody a rugged individualism that aligns with the Sigma's disregard for fleeting fashion trends.

2020 is Hindsight by Skip Pulley This journal is posted in reverse order, on the dates each post was written. The final entry is the first to appear; the first entry is the last one to be read. Feel free to discuss these journal entries in the comments using your own thoughts in your own words. Don't just post a link with no context. Posting links and memes as response is lazy apologist conformity. If you can't find a way to make your point, then you probably don't have one.

20,000 people die of cancer every day. That's 8,000,000 deaths every year including 500,000 Americans. At the turn of the 20th century, 1 person out of 20 got cancer. In the 1940's, it was 1 out of 16. In the 1970's it was 1 out of every 10. Today, 1 out of every 3 people gets cancer. 1 million Americans are diagnosed with cancer every year. Each patent then feeds into a "system" which employs hundreds of thousands of people and generates billions of dollars for the medical and pharmaceutical industries. The so-called cancer "treatment" apparatus is so large and expensive that it requires new patients on a continual basis so that it won't collapse. Simply put, Cancer is big business. Cancer is one of the biggest businesses on earth. The average cancer patent spends at least 50,000 dollars on "treatment".

Always Never Forever - the Preface; Nothing is Real

the Preface Nothing is real Purchase on Amazon Writers do not become  writers, they simply realize one day that they are writers. I realized it in 1989, at age 16. I began my writing career as a freelance contributor. I wrote live music reviews and creative nonfiction, mostly narrative essays. At the time, all my literary idols were transcendentalists.

Human beings are designed to be self-reliant and autonomous, thereby able to form true community. Like most philosophical movements, transcendentalism is a big word that describes a simple idea. Humans have knowledge about themselves and their univer...
