The Teleology of Andrew Tate
It was inevitable.
Bottom-Line Up-Front
It’s not Andrew Tate’s fault he’s so successful. The rise of Andrew Tate was not caused by Andrew Tate. The rise of Andrew Tate was catalyzed by the feminization of men and masculinization of women.
The Pendulum
Have you ever seen a pendulum before?
One thing that we know about pendulums is that they swing back and forth.
What else do they do? They swing back and forth.
Back and forth, back and forth, the pendulum swings.
What else swings back and forth, back and forth, just like a pendulum?
Pendulums In Real Life
Politics is an example of a pendulum. Bush → Clinton → Bush → Obama → Trump → Biden → Trump vs. Michelle Obama.
Management is another example of a pendulum. We oscillate between phases of exerting a lot of control over employees to empowering employees back to controlling them.
Culture is another example of a pendulum. We oscillate between phases of exerting a lot of control over citizens to empowering citizen back to controlling them.
But what does all of this have to do with the notorious rise of Andrew Tate’s popularity?
Simple: the rise of Andrew Tate was not caused by Andrew Tate. The rise of Andrew Tate was catalyzed by the feminization of men and masculinization of women.
This is a Pendulum
The pendulum swings.
The rise of men embracing the female energy causes the equal and opposite reaction; the rise of men embracing the male energy.
That’s all that Andrew Tate represents. He’s not good, he’s not bad, he’s the result of a pendulum swinging.
One thing that we know about pendulums is that they swing back and forth.
What else do they do? They swing back and forth.
Back and forth, back and forth, the pendulum swings.
That’s it, that’s all.
So don’t get mad at the pendulum. The pendulum swings. That’s it. The pendulum just SWINGS.
Denouement
Comte believed that the future was moving inexorably towards a certain point; he called that telos and the study of history moving to a certain point is called teleology.
I think it’s obvious where we’re headed. We’re already transhuman. We’re already integrated with AI. We’re already trying to transcend our meat bodies by uploading our consciousness to a computer; it’s like achieving both choices offered to Achilles.
Advanced Level
The apocalypse has already occurred. It occurred not because of famine or nuclear war. The apocalypse happened when humans ceased to be the sole reason of things and the machines took on a reason of their own.
