Henry Grey Earls talks about the recent Manosphere splash guy — Clavicular (Youtube)
Earls argues that the influencer Clavicular (Braden Peters) represents more than just a self-help creator; he embodies Friedrich Nietzsche’s warnings about nihilism in the modern age.
That makes sense to me. Earls’ comments about the absence of a higher meaning suggest that Clavvicular focuses solely on obsessive self-optimization (looksmaxxing) rather than on internal transformation. When people start to become disposable in the pursuit of maximum self-indulgence, it creates a harsh and unpleasant society overall. In this context, empathy is seen as a critical weakness, regarded as the least attractive trait to possess, and is therefore avoided at all costs.
“You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
