Evidently humans have a capacity for higher reasoning greater than that of barnacles and people who never “passed on their genes” (priests, monks, warriors in some circumstances, innovators like you mentioned) were often revered in their respective cultures and understood to have significantly greater value by any metric than typical sexhaving normies
It becomes clear that the modern cultural obsession with sex and its arbitrary associations with social status/belonging/self worth aren’t really fundamental to human biology once you’ve seen stuff like this

Freud wrote in his Eros and Civilization that repressed sexual energy in men is the force that built civilization.
The problem is that, for this to happen, the repression must have an ultimate purpose --- that is: the sexual restraint had the aim of directing the male's energy to attain resources / status / accomplishments etc. before he would be initiated into the family life, by having a wife; or, in the case of priests and monks, the sexual restraint was voluntary, and the condition for the maintenance of their social status.
Incels are not practicing purposeful sexual restraint with an aim at the end. We're just being denied sex without anything to show for it, we're not on the waiting line for having a virgin wife, we're not preparing ourselves to earn our rank, we don't even get status as holy and pure.
Obviously, fucking all day every day like rabbits, as the deadbeat Chads, whores, sluta and other purposeless normies do is not going to build anything except a welfare check.
I don’t think the fact that there’s a biological component to caring about sex is really unique or significant since the same thing applies to caring about your family etc, and that’s undoubtedly something where the significance of it varies among cultures. Being estranged from your parents in feudal Japan would be like being a truecel in the West in 2022, but in Anglo cultures it’s not a big deal at all or something you’d even think about on a daily basis
There are two things there: the sex drive, the genetic in-group preference. Being estranged from family or sex-starved are both bad things anywhere, any time.
I see no reason to believe that modern incels wouldn’t be like everyone else if they lived in a culture that didn’t have a massive pathological obsession with sex (ex: shit like how “you get no bitches” or some variant is daily vocabulary for zoomers is not normal or the standard throughout history).
Indeed. Our culture is hyper-sexualized. Sex is pushed everywhere as if it is the only thing a person should aspire for.
I don't place all my value in life on sex. But I suffer a lack of sex and relationships. Having sex, relationships, a family, etc. are an integral part of a healthy human life. Monks, sadhus, ascetics, and people like Newton and Tesla are the exception that proves the rule. Even Nietzsche and Schopenhauer were in the end embittered by their dejection from the tree of life.
I don't want to have sex and relationships in order to flex that on instagram, or tiktok to "own" the normies. If I had a relationship, I wouldn't even care if others knew about it. I want affection, touch, sex etc. for the sake of it. I'm biologically driven to acquire this. The lack of sex and relationships with foids drives my mind insane, causes me pain (the pain of loneliness is as severe as physical pain).
Hardly anybody is going to be suicidal over not having a gf in a society where the expectation of men having closely interpersonal and emotionally intimate relationships with women doesn’t even exist. And the only logical conclusion from this is that the root of the issue here is cultural, not biological
All societies exist because men breed foids. So, this expectation is always there. Today we're expected to be having hookups all the time, to which I agree is impractical for non-Chads.
I believe most incels were taught to feel the way they do about sex and therefore in a sense have a normie inside their head who is cyberbullying them 24/7, and they don’t even realize that this is the case and assume they just independently adopted these cultural values naturally (which is obviously impossible)
Interesting theory.
I believe the pain of loneliness, touch-starvation and sexual deprivation are real.
Even in the absence of the Normie culture of pushing sex 24/7, men would still feel starved of affection and sexual release.
Please elaborate.
