>As anyone who has struggled with a diet knows, willpower won’t work in the long run. And failures of inhibition are too often confused for a moral failing. We blame willpower failings for weight gain, even though it’s genetics and our calorie-laden environments conspiring against out waistlines. We blame addicts for not restraining their urges, even though their addiction has a biological hold on their brain.

This article is basically promoting the idea of "external locus of control," a fitting a ideology for liberals to organize their lives around. Essentially, your entire life and happiness are the result of external factors instead of internal control.

This explains a wide range of liberal behaviors such as African American crime (A good boy who dindu nothing is possessed by external demons) or liberal opposition to free speech (the sound waves impacting your ear drum will cause deep unhappiness).

Brave New World

Weight is not genetic. Its more accurate when described as inherited. Fatasses often pump their kids with shit food and make their innocent kids fat, then those kids have to lose the weight. Also some people can technically have shit metabolism but still CICO and the first law of thermodynamics reign supreme

Those with willpower wouldn't struggle with the fucking diet either.

It's naive not to recognize the external things that influence your life and try to maximize the best odds for your kids. You live in the US, if you were born here then you were very lucky. There's a lot of you can do with internal control but thinking that is the only factor is just as stupid as stupid as thinking it's not a factor.

Not reading the article, but willpower (relying on your innate ability to "just do it") is bad. Discipline is what you want.

You need good information to build discipline. Figure out good habits, practice then through the years, and you'll be way more effective than willpowerfags.

I read the article. The point these people are trying to make is people who do well in life put themselves in situations where their willpower does not need to be tested. Essentially if you're not exposing yourself to temptations, you are exerting all the self control you need to get ahead.

I outlined how they're different mate

Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times and good times create weak men, which once again plunges the world into hard times.
The weaker the men the harder the times they'll create. The more you try to artificially lengthen the good times, the weaker the men living in it are going to be.

>even though it’s genetics and our calorie-laden environments conspiring against out waistlines

The devil made me do it.

OMG this is so important!!!!

like i'm constantly fat-shamed at work by my white male coworkers (and this skinny white bitch, like ugh! us women gotta stick together girl!) so it's sooo refreshing to see the science is settled after all!!

That's specifically (Your) definition though, is it not ?

Moron, just shut your weak-chinned mouth. Willpower is a huge component in self- discipline.

>put themselves in situations where their willpower does not need to be tested
rather rich coming from those who have spent virtually their entire lives inside one institution or another, up to their eyeballs in debt with absolutely nothing to show for it, functionally illiterate at best in many cases, hence the current state of public discourse

well, ive always been a little bit shaky on weather or not Jow Forums was right and that these people are pure evil incarnate but im 100% certain that is true for anyone who actually believes this and pedals this

And self discipline is a huge component of will power, these are interchangeable as far as I can tell.

Agreed

Also in that quote, saying anybody who struggled with a diet knows willpower won’t work in the long run is 100% bullshit. You can struggle with a diet on and off, even for years, but that doesn’t mean it will never be successful. One of the attempts will work eventually because willpower will eventually work. Unless you’re a miserable fatty until you die but those people never seriously diet anyways.

lmao fucking kikes

I don't think right-wingers necessarily refuse to recognise external influences, just place less weight on their influence and importance relative to inner-control. I personally would prefer to blame myself instead of the things around me. Inner-control is the thing we have control over and is what helps us reach greater heights, morally, physically, mentally, etc. Blaming actions on surroundings doesn't help you, all it does is make you feel better about it not being your fault.

“Powers are for the weak” comes to mind. These people are smoking their own dope and buying the shit they’re peddling

Why would anyone do this shit ?

Strong men are globalists' greatest enemies, because strong men may become leaders and lead resistance against them.
Therefore all the war on masculinity, LGBT agenda, sissification of men etc...
The best and by far the most masculine thing you can do is to work on your willpower and then you'll be capable of greater things.
Notice how EVERYTHING around us (especially the omnipresent pornography) is made to destroy our willpower.

jfc. They point out a simple truth. The best way to resist temptation is not to be in an environment where you will be tempted.

That's why your wife doesn't want you to have a hot secretary.

That's why you shouldn't buy sweets if you are on a diet.

It's a very old concept, and it's Lindy af.

Being a redpilled psychology student is literal suffering.

Fat people don’t teach their children good eating habits because they don’t know anything about good eating habits

>Constant self-indulgence does not make you happy.
It makes you empty and perpetually longing for...something to fill the emptiness, maybe just one more purchase, one more material object...one more piece of ass, one more hit of dope...but whatever you do just KNOW being disciplined and healthy is bad bad BAD!!

"Hoarding" is wrong. Unless it's money.

>I don't think right-wingers necessarily refuse to recognise external influences, just place less weight on their influence and importance relative to inner-control.
I think they find the ability for someone to change their surroundings more important than the power of those surroundings. So they don't think that external influences are irrelevant, they think that it's more useful to ignore those influences and change things than it is to sit and do nothing.

So for example if someone was being force-fed by their family members, a left-winger would suggest the person try to ask nicely for them to stop (which wouldn't work if they were doing it out of malice) while a right-winger would suggest the person buy their own food and make their own meals. The left-winger tries to work with the person within the constraints of the environment, the right-winger tries to rise above or change the environment.

Sure, but I've got common connotations behind my back. Dunno why it's so hard to understand. Self Improvement General would get what I'm talking about.

Guess I need to figure a way to word it differently for people who haven't already done a bunch of thinking about self discipline.

I believe it's backfiring. They're about 10 years too early for it to be effective. They also ramped it up too fast for it to not be noticeable.

Satire is different from b8

When enough people call it a religion. Do your part.

Isn't the idea in psychology that willpower isn't a fixed trait, but a skill you can practice and improve? It's essential so we don't overindulge and kill ourselves.

The leftists are not long for this world

Of course. They want you as sedated and complacent as possible

It certainly plays a role. But yes it's not the driving factor.

Shut up, Bong. Here's an English lesson:

Will = active. You can accomplish things through "pure force of will" overcoming x. Will POWER.

Self-discipline: passive. Control, restraint, discrimination.

They're quite different.

Will power, the will power needed to not engage in addictive behaviour, therefore a lack of action, seems you just bin BTFO'd my fren

Based Singapore, don't lose your autonomy or you will regret it.

You require discipline to be able to commit to a schedule or maintain standards.

You need willpower to run through a hail of bullets when you're exhausted and you need to drag your friend out of the line of fire, or lift a Kia off somebody.
