Introspection in the later pickup 'genuine man' line is inspecting your beliefs and leaks — then changing what you do. It is not rumination. Staff line (paraphrase): you cannot Helen Keller your way to this; you have to look.[1]
Method
- After the outing, one page: what you did, what you told yourself, what you will do different.
- Hunt venomous beliefs ('women are X') only insofar as they change behavior. This wiki does not do politics.
- Then go back out. Introspection without the field is a hobby.
Failure mode
Journaling instead of approaching. Or never looking, repeating the same night.
