The highly eclectic musings of... An ex-US Navy officer, businesses owner, nomadic digital entrepreneur, and an expat currently living on the southern tip of Phuket island in Thailand. Since 2003, I've written and published over 5,000—often brash and biting—blog posts on every topic imaginable. I could never fit into a single category...or even a dozen of them. "Society & Culture" is the most wide open if I can only pick one. So that's what it is. ...I also do YouTube videos and now, do an audio-only version of suitable ones right here.

POLITICAL RANT: How Much Truth Can You Handle? What's Going on in The World?

POLITICAL RANT: How Much Truth Can You Handle? What's Going on in The World?

This is the third in a series of videos about what a YouTuber newbie learns quickly. So, not as a successful YouTube Magnate, but as a guy just a bit ahead of anyone who's just started or will be starting shortly.

"Newbies: Do You Want To Become A Master Video Creator?"

https://youtu.be/0uysJCZ9EdU

"10 Tips to Becoming a Successful YouTube Channel in Just 10 Weeks!"

https://youtu.be/gkOognouVh4

My channel is 16 years old but I never did much but upload unedited single-file videos over the years, less than 200 of them. That got about 18,000 watch hours from 1/2 million views of 1.6 million impressions. My focus was my blog, FreeTheAnimal.com, 19 years in the maintaining, with over 5,000 posts published.

A bit less than 3 months ago, I decided to take on YouTube in earnest and have published about 70 videos in as many days.

These videos are about the extreme amounts I've learned in the process.

10 Tips to Becoming a Successful YouTube Channel in Just 10 Weeks!

10 Tips to Becoming a Successful YouTube Channel in Just 10 Weeks!

Don't get the wrong idea. I'm a beginner too.

...Even though my YouTube Channel is 16 years old.

But I was never serious about it. Under 200 total videos in that 16 years, under 20,000 total watch hours and 1/2 million views.

Just under 10 weeks ago I decided to get serious and this is a rundown of the many things I've learned in such a short time that has me well on the way to monetization.

See my previous video where I put a bunch of editing tricks into practice.

Seize Life; The Best Life. Where Can You Find It?

Seize Life; The Best Life. Where Can You Find It?

While this one is a bit of a ramble, the theme of it is encapsulated in the title. I'm at times overcome with how good I have it here in this particular niche of Thailand. It gives me a perspective on struggle. Life is a struggle for all and the financial aspect of it is a struggle for most.

What better, then, to find a place you love, where the struggles take on a different character because you may find that you're struggling FOR something and not just to keep getting along, ever breathing. Just breathing.

Demanding Displays of Respect: Is it Harmful to Our Self Esteem?

Demanding Displays of Respect: Is it Harmful to Our Self Esteem?

When you truly respect someone or something as a reflection of values you hold, this is normal, rational, healthy, and uplifting.

But what if respect is demanded toward people, things, ideas, institutions, etc., that you don't particularly value; or worse, run counter to your own values?

Is taking a neutral stance often seen as disrespectful?

Barefoot Walking: More Nerves in Feet than in Genitals? Is it Arousing?

Barefoot Walking: More Nerves in Feet than in Genitals? Is it Arousing?

I've been barefoot walking since 2008, but when my dogs got too old for the 3-mile walks in 2016, I stopped being avid about it. Plus, living here in Thailand offers lots of opportunity to just BE barefoot and when protected, it's generally flip-flops or sandals. I haven't worn regular shoes in nearly 3 years.

It is true, incidentally, that feet have more nerve endings than genitals...

https://www.simardfootclinic.com/feet-facts

...You'll have to watch the video to hear how I characterize that.

And with any luck, some of you will give it a try and struggle through initially, until you adapt. Ultimately, you want to feel good/better and barefooting when possible is one of those lifeways that contributes to that.

The "Sapient Paradox." What Is It? What Does It Mean For You?

The "Sapient Paradox." What Is It? What Does It Mean For You?

Here's A Crazy Idea.

What if our big homo Sapiens brains were worthless for 190,000 of the 200,000 years we've been around, prior to Civilization in the archeological record that begins 10-12,000 years ago. Not only worthless, but at a cost, because big brains require a lot of energy.

Or, did they provide advantages that don't show up in the archeological record?

This is an intro to a post, the link to which will be here once posted.

Curiously, my blog at FreeTheAnimal.com enjoys a 58:42 ratio of male:female readers according to Google analytics—close enough to even—while my YouTube Channel used to be 92:8 and has recently declined in gender demographics to 98:2.

What gives? In this video, I pick away at some elements.

A short episode under 6 minutes, yet packed with a lot of things to think about in terms of establishing your parameters of relationships with women before you even get into one.

It's all about the context of your life. Young and just starting out, or mature in age and experience, having seen it all.

Drop comments about aspects you'd like me to expand upon, as I don't think I'm done with this topic.

Does Holding Grudges Against Others Hurt You More Than It Hurts Them?

Does Holding Grudges Against Others Hurt You More Than It Hurts Them?

Today I contrast the natural behavior of myself and my family with what I've seen and experienced all my life.

Lots of people seem to like to hold grudges against others, often for inconsequential things in the wide scope of all things.

It's a mystery to me. To me, harboring such disdain, hate even, is self-destructive and is not a healthy form of self-defense or self-protection. Could it be a spiteful form narcissism and unbridled self-importance?

Visceral Chemistry Comes First When Women Size Up Men For Romance. What Comes Next?

This is part 2 of a 2-part series on the elements of attraction first, then the evaluation stage. We're talking chemistry, then laboratory.

The Secret For a Man: How To Get That Initial Positive Visceral Reaction From a Woman

This was something I was informed of, but didn't think much about because I didn't have the problem.

Then, within a short time, I developed it and noticed a tremendous difference. Chicks were not approaching me or behaving towards me as I've enjoyed all my life. Because of the very short timeframe, i was able to form a hypothesis as to the cause and took action immediately.

And to confirm that this secret was precisely the root of the problem, once I fixed the problem, all went back to normal.

21 Topics: CBS Survivor to Tinder Secrets...Mickey & Minnie...Rosary Beads...The Planet...and more

21 Topics: CBS Survivor to Tinder Secrets...Mickey & Minnie...Rosary Beads...The Planet...and more

In this my most complex video edit yet where I use 2 camera angles on the motorcycle drive, I talk about general things on the drive over, then after coffee, I discus:

- CBS' Survivor Star Russell Hantz and how meeting and interviewing him motivated me to do more video (interview here: https://youtu.be/kAAS-q5ipYs )

- Using the word 'toilet' internationally

- It was for the kids

- Tinder secrets

- What are the current signs in global politics pointing to and where did it start?

- Libertarians are a joke - Trump's 2016 win was less than half of the cause for unbridled fury amongst the political establishment

- Mickey and Minnie are toast - Crossing paths with a former "flame" on the walk

- Jordan Peterson and an evolutionary psychologist on sexual selection (predictable)

- Biden's stupidest ever speech and who is running his shit?

- MAGA Republicans are a violent threat to democracy?

- What does the Democrat and Left doubling down signal?

- Doubling down over and over on the stupidest, most fringe shit imaginable

- And what of Western Europe?

- That German Chancellor, and what happened to German men?

- The comeuppance everywhere is palpable

- Media and cable news is not information, it's bias confirmation outlets for fanboys and girls

- Single-issue blogging and video

- Never make a joke about rosary beads

- Save the planet

Tinder Serendipity With The Girls Of Thailand

Tinder Serendipity With The Girls Of Thailand

In this episode I explain how to get better results with dating apps, in particular, referencing my experience in Thailand—very rich noble hunting grounds—where it pays to be gentlemanly with the Thai ladies.

And if you do it right, serendipity can happen...such as in the little bit crazy story of my happenstance encounter last night.

Mentioned in the video, Anthony Colpo. Here's the referenced post with the section on dating apps.

Random observances and laughs about all sorts of things.  By the way, have you noticed that the term Covidiot means exactly the opposite of what it meant in 2020?

The Great Recap of My Week 1 of Easy Freedom From Alcohol (after many failures)

View "My Super Easy No-Alcohol Method" Playlist For All The Videos.

Week 1 is in the can and though it's just a week, what distinguishes it is the absolute ease and downright joy with which I did it. I have tried many times in the past and it was miserable. ALWAYS thinking of ways to justify 'just a bit.' Even after 6 weeks or 2 months. Failure was always the outcome.  I guess when you do it enough times, one day you get all the critical elements to align and it's easy. I had nothing that could be called a craving even though I'm in multiple bars every night. I don't even think about or consider it. It's unthinkable. I've lost nothing at all and gained a great deal in just a week.  There's a companion post to this with 8 delicious-looking food pics at amazing prices, since this started by my total loss of appetite over many months.

This episode in video.

Here are my previous posts, each with a companion video:
