SOURCES LIE. There's all this mythos about "sources," but they are just people in D.C., which means they are shittier people than average. Sources will lie to you to get a competitor or rival fired. It only takes two sources to run a story. Would two people lie? Often.
Building a source network means you're going out for lots of dinners and drinks. Very hard to stay in shape when you're breaking news, working sources, and taking late-night calls. Oh and yes, women have it worse, cuz drinking is part of the job and sources get handsy.
The background of doing objective journalism under the best conditions is non-stop flight-or-fight responses - Competing for scoops - Sources playing you (feelings of distrust) - Audience press, as they demand MORE MORE MORE (For most part, news readers are ungrateful dicks.)
Added to the above stressors - Trump Derangement Syndrome. WE MUST STOP TRUMP OR THE WORLD ENDS.https://youtu.be/20qR3egZY_M
When you're under non-stop fight-or-flight stress responses, you do the following - Eat fatty + carbohydrate foods, because INSULIN RESPONSE feels good - Self-medicate with alcohol to "bring you down" - Pop adderall as you're feeling burned out. This body tax must be paid.
Stressed out people make mistakes. People who stay up late make mistakes. People moving at a quick pace make mistakes. Every wonder why salesman speak quickly? It's to rush you into making a decision. Journalists must move quick and compete and it's unrelenting.
Hence when the Covingtongate video landed, journalists were suffering from impaired judgment due to a breakdown of their amygdalas. This is all scientific.https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/amygdala-loss-aversion/ …
Most journalists have never been in peak condition, so they don't realize their bodies are broken down, and because the mind-body dichotomy is false, their own judgment is impaired. See, "Amygdala Activity, Fear, and Anxiety: Modulation by Stress"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2882379/ …
Because I've been in peak condition, I know how a healthy body feels. (This is me at 33 without using any steroids.) And I could feel how the non-stop stress was impacting me. Physiologically, it's more difficult to lift weights when your body is bathing in coritsol.pic.twitter.com/nGJ9FcU2oI
Because I've been super fit, and so-so fit, fat, and everything in between, I knew how media was taking a toll on me. But unlike journalists, I have a background in this stuff. And am able to self-manage.https://www.cernovich.com/how-to-recover-and-relax-reduce-anxiety-sleep-better/ …
Covingtongate-style stories will become MORE common. More Russigate stories will break and be busted as hoaxed. This may seem counter-intuitive. Don't people learn from mistakes? Again, the issue is that the media establishment is exhausted, and now big layoffs are happening.
I am still fresh, unlike my far left wing competitors, because I know how to manage "self-care." I literally wrote the book on mindset, and live the book. In fact, every major blow-up from people on "my side" were in fact mindset failures.https://www.cernovich.com/the-power-of-mindset-review/ …
Speaking of media and stress, have you ever heard the expression, "breathless reporting." Embedded in the language we use are metaphors, what Lakoff called "metaphors we live by." When you feel stressed, control your breathing. Stress goes away.https://www.cernovich.com/wim-hof-breathing-course-review/ …
One mistake people make is that the "de-stress" by vegetating. But as Louie Simmons showed, ACTIVE REST is the far superior recovery. Active rest for stress includes - Wim Hof / ice baths - Far IR saunas - Russian bathshttps://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/31/nyregion/after-124-years-the-russian-and-turkish-baths-are-still-a-hot-spot.html …
Ali Watkins got the scoop! And James Wolfe got the punani!
Time to get a pull up bar in the house
It was a sleazy town, full of sleazy people, and the only thing sleazier than the town and the people were the stories they told themselves... about how noble they all were.
