I don't get the grind mindset at all - look at me! Be like me! Bust ass 24/7, hustle hustle hustle, sleep is for losers, carbs are for losers, relationships that aren't profitable are for losers...... it's all worth it though so you can be on vacation in some exotic place like me!!!........... (and not even be able to put work down for one second to enjoy your fucking drink and be oblivious of the views you worked for) Like who thinks this sounds awesome except 15 year old boys?

Andrew Tate basically crystalized this whole thing... by pretending he was Morpheus from the Matrix.

His solution to 'escape the Matrix'... was to be the most diehard bluepill imaginable.

Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.

That’s literally the target demographic. You answered your own question.

5 years ago I would have agreed with you but I now know several adult men in this sphere...

Some would argue they are still 15yo boys in mindset.

Last I heard, everyone is twelve.

What did carbs ever do to them? Those are necessary macronutrients and a good source of fast energy.

I’m not team low carb but it is the one macronutrient you don’t need. But you feel like shit without them. So

I've been low crab for a while now. Shit's expensive.

Are you kidding me? There's hundreds of young men everywhere that have no idea how to use a laptop or cigars, but love pools and fancy drinks. This is perfect for them.
