[9of12] BIG DICK SYNDROME (Season 1 Recap)

gumption.ink

Ok ok…we might have invented this syndrome…but…you know exactly what we are talking about. Boys grow up older, trying to prove that they have bigger dicks, and doing a lot of stupid things because of that. It is a big part of how the world still operates, and we believe it is a huge part of our shadow as men that we need to own up to. But it’s not all bad, and so today’s summary has a bunch of dudes trying to figure that testosterone thing out. Enjoy the rush!

📖 CHAPTER 9: THE HIGHWAY

Maskat takes matters into his own hands, chooses his friends, and is pretty high on power, money, and drugs. Yup, a bit of a twister here.

In Search of Gumption
Chapter 9. The Highway
The sounds of boots came rushing to pull the gigantic ship to dock in the pitch-black hour right before dusk. “Ok offboard now, everything in the container!” Said a deeply commanding masculine voice. Sounds of boxes sliding down and being carried somewhere in the darkness continued for about thirty minutes or so as the boots seemed to go back and forth. T…

🎤 S1EP09: INNOCENT MANIFESTATIONS OF TESTOSTERONE w/ Anonymous. (Crowd Favorite)

Our anonymous guest shares his own adventures with resisting convention and authority in order to carve his own path. He has had to confront the institutions of education, family, and the law and through these experiences, he forged a philosophy conflict: when it has a purpose, and when it’s fruitless.

In this episode we cover:

  • Our guest’s experiences and adventures through his life

  • Psychedelics and its role in the altering of perception

  • A look at the current state of affairs, and the impact of greed and unchecked power on our world

How can we break free from what binds us in purposeful, life-affirming ways? What makes conflict virtuous?

Sit back, pour your favorite beverage, and join us for this very important and candid conversation!

🧐 Listener’s Commentary by Paul Kist

I wanted to share some reflections on this episode. It’s a dynamic one, as it goes into some of the biological roots of conflict between individuals, and the driving force behind corrupt patriarchal systems that are eating at the fabric of our humanity. Testosterone one powerhouse of a hormone. It creates drive, and when harnessed for good, can lead to the accomplishment of wonderful things, not the least of which is the creation of life itself. Left out of balance and without purpose, and we find ourselves being driven to exert power for its own sake; a battle of dicks if you will.

In Search of Gumption
Ep09. Listeners Commentary

But of course, none of us can break free from the walls that have contained us without entering into some sort of conflict. Our guest shares with the Gumpcast audience his experiences with breaking out of the family, educational, and even societal structures, and he is absolute…

🧐 Writer’s Commentary | BREAK FREE by Omar Shaker

Well…there comes a certain point in our lives where we have to be our own selves. The pressure our parents apply to confine and pin us down to their dreams makes their suggested path the one with least resistance. However, I believe that finding our own way is the only thing that will make us find our own private versions of the holy grail. It is what Carl Jung calls the process of Individuation.

Break Free!
Dudes and Dudettes, we have reached the most critical chapter in part 1. Chapter 9 | The Highway is when Maskat is confronted with what every man has to do at some point during his journey: Break free from his parents/parent-figures in order to find his truths and his own individual path to the “Holy Grail…
