    Hi bros. Some other people on this site have already made threads about their favorite books. I think that my favorite book is All Tomorrows by Nemo Ramjet but toady I want to focus on a different book. I also love Man After Man by Dougal Dixon.

    Man After Man is a book that is truly underappreciated in my humble opinion. It was published in 1990 and is currently out of print. Fortunately, a full, free online version can be found here.

    This book contains some very important lessons for humanity such as:

    – Goal-oriented evolution is a bastardization of actual evolutionary biology. The evolution of human intelligence was not inevitable. It was a highly unlikely event.
    – Goal-oriented evolution is largely Christian in origin, though some hardcore tech geeks also believe in it. Evolution cannot plan ahead and, therefore, did not “try” to create intelligent beings.
    – Nature can easily survive through a mass extinction powerful enough to kill all humans.
    – If we become too dependent on machines, we will lose our connection to the natural world, and, thus, we will die if civilization collapses on us.
    – Genetic engineering could also make us dependent on the machines.
    – The cavemen who lived before civilization were badass and the cavemen that will exist after civilization will be even more badass.
    – Don’t count on space exploration. Only the wealthy elite will be able to afford it. They will leave us on earth to suffer and then spread across the universe like a cancer.
    – Genetic engineering will be used for the most shallow s~~~ ever.

    Overall, Man After Man teaches us that human civilization is not the center of the universe. It emerged through natural selection and random mutation. This means that random chance could one day decide to sweep it away. When this happens, everything that is dependent on civilization (such as feminism) will die but nature will live on and evolution will continue to create new beasts.

    MGTOW: because you can (and should) say anything about a woman as long as she isn't within earshot

    Sounds interesting. Ever read the book Earth Abides? Check it out if you have not, it is fiction, but a very fun read. It was written in 1949.

    Don’t worry about that,we’ll destroy ourselves before

    it ever happens,either that or other life out there

    will do it for us so we don’t pollute the universe.

    Lifes a bitch,but you don't have to marry one!

    Elysium… Great movie. And at the rate we are going, with all our resources used in war instead of space exploration, yea, we are going nowhere fast.

    I can’t think of just one book. What got me to become an avid reader was a science fiction anthology I came across at age eleven. Can’t remember the title, but it was mostly short stories written in the 1950s.

    I had never heard the term “MGTOW” until a friend told I was one. He recommended Men On Strike, by Dr. Helen Smith.

    Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?
