Ignorance is overcome by knowledge and practice
That is why armed training, warfare practice, and reading war manual is mandatory for men. Weapons and war are not always literal. Weapons are to be understood laterally.
In modern times, we have too many guys who have never held a weapon in their life, have never performed war drills, have not understood the very notion of battles, and so are unaware of the whole notion of weapons, war, and battles.
Life is hard.
If one doesn’t wake up worrying about food, energy, water, shelter, survival, thriving, and reproduction then one needs to worry that something is wrong with life.
Good times and comfort are facades. Life is meant to be a battle to survive, thrive, and reproduce every single day. When you wake up, and if you find that you have enough water reserve, enough financial reserve, enough energy, and food, and have shelter, then know this without any assumption that you are that desert man with the gun, who is still alive because the time hasn’t yet come for the women to eliminate you. The very fact that you are not worried must make you worry. The very fact that you appear to be settled must make you nervous and unsettled. The very fact that you think you are well off must make you worry about the undercurrent of the war.
Because irrespective of the permutations and combinations of problems of life, or even no problems of life, a woman holds the key to escape the desert, and a man’s outside chance of survival is to be the most powerful man in the desert whom she considers worthy enough of the war when that eventually happens, your best bet to be alive is to be war-ready. And if you are alive, and selected by a woman in the desert, then you obviously are the one who is also going to get the reproductive privilege.
