Your life is the sum of the choices you make. Whether you've chose to invest your time wisely is up to you. And yes, you have a choice in everything you do. You are not a victim of anything unless you allow yourself to become one. The world doesn't owe you anything. This concept is something that poor and stupid people will never get through their mushy, dense heads. As smart people (coincidentally wealthy people) have come to know, time is money. Time is the most valuable co

The trap that most people will fall into is waiting; they wait for others or the world for that matter, to do things for them. Hopelessly waiting for their lives to start. The average normbreed will wait out their entire lives until they are 60 for their 'actual life' to begin. They will go to school (K-12) only to spend another 4+ in post-secondary where they will achieve absolutely nothing by the time they are in their mid-Twenties. But wait...there is more. After spending

Right at this moment I am doing one of my favorite past-times here in Florida: Sipping on a cold beer in the condo lanai; watching senior citizens try to strike a ball from the 9th tee box in my backyard. It's fucking hilarious. Truly the best free entertainment one can get. I am here for a month until the new year. Here for a month of pause and reflect. I will be writing on the shitty weather days here, but mainly I will be enjoying the sun, the cheap beer and the joys of no

Losers are everywhere today. Pathetic inferior individuals, who at every turn in their life seek to waste their finite and valuable time here on earth trying to get successful people to fall into the trap mindset of the 9-5; commute until you die and live paycheck-to-paycheck, wondering why they are still not wealthy even though they are making 50k +> a year in their cubicle pen. These same plebs will then waste their time by emailing people like me, or leaving fake reviews o

Every now and then we get an amazing message-in-a-bottle here on the Red Island. Instead of hate-mail, I for once received a contact from a person, a man, who understands what is going on in the world. Best-selling author, Piero San Giorgio, contacted me after having read a particular article I wrote titled, The Endless Summer Effect: A Modern Woman's Delusion. An article that concisely explains female hypergamy and puts it all into perspective in an intelligent way. From thi

It is almost virtually impossible to have a horrible time in paradise. I can literally lose all my money and still not be bothered by it because a) I intended on losing it regardless; as I am aware of odds, statistics, etc. B) winning in Vegas is a bonus and you shouldn't bank on winning anything. You are there to blow money like your wad and have a good fucking time while all the normies suffer back home. With that said, the one thing that WILL piss me off, and almost ruin m

We have covered a variation of this topic before on The Red Island in a post titled All Jobs Suck: Why ‘Dream Jobs’ Don’t Exist. What I would like to touch on today is what the average normie feels about their job, why they hate it vs. why the unfulfilled budding entrepreneur/intelligent individual hates their job. Why Normies Hate Their Cube Job Getting a CJ (cubical job) is like getting a bad blowjob: your expectations were too high, the pay-off is sub-par; you could have

If there ever were such a thing called Suicide Fuel it would be the 8-hour a day, 40hr work week; along with mid-level managers and the psychopathic bosses that seem to plague this fossilized part of our modern economy that still exists for some reason. We live in a tech-driven, online world now; there is no need to be stuck in an office or at a job for 8 hours a day, 40 hours or more a week. It’s stupid, inhumane and a waste of your energy and time. There is no need for it i

Have you ever thought about how some people can become incredibly wealthy while the rest of society just falls flat on their face, not knowing how it’s done? There isn’t a conspiracy when it comes to wealth and making money. What really separates the poor from the rich is something called discipline. Most people you see walking around have no idea, no clue, no plan; they just let life ‘happen’ to them. They let life rape them, without lube; a willing masochistic that breeds

I ask of you to think of the last time you went on vacation, to perhaps a tropical destination or climate that is unlike the concrete jungle in which you inhabit, each and every day of your existence. Ask yourself, why you have come to this place, why have you sacrificed 2 weeks’ vacation out of the four you are entitled to at your place of work? Be honest with the reasons why your vacation experience is one of joy, happiness, serenity, and rejuvenation. We all want a place t

One thing that people, more specifically millennials today, need to get through their thick, entitled heads is that you will never find your “dream job”. It is a unicorn, a NAJALT(Not All Jobs Are Like That) of sorts. Yes, ALL jobs are like that. They all suck. They suck hard. That is why it is called a “job”. A “job” implies a chore; something that you don’t want to do but have to in order to get paid or receive reparation for. For instance, why is it called a “handjob” or “

One of the main reasons why Wayne Gretsky was so great—and he even said this too—was because he never went where the puck was, but where he thought it was going to be. Wayne didn’t follow the herd; he followed his own shadow on the ice. Wayne did Wayne. He played HIS OWN game within the Game. Wayne Gretsky is a perfect example of how to become great at life, and at anything you do within its confines. When it comes down to it, there are three things out there, that if you do

Having self-awareness will ultimately prevent you from being influenced by society into becoming a normie. What this all boils down to, is whether the individual has the courage to, or the compunction to—the balls even—abandon tribalism and acceptance from the herd as the main reason for making their life decisions. Instead, the self-aware individual will use self-respect, empirical evidence, and reality as the fundamentals to base their decision-making off of. You have to un

The song Where Have All the Cowboys Gone by Paula Cole should be the unofficial anthem of the modern feminist and women alike today. Usually bemoaned, mainly, by women who are hitting The Wall, or who are about to. The whining is reaching fever pitch these days as more and more men are leaving CorporateLand and are ghosting society in plain sight. More men each and every day are waking up, realizing what a sham the modern day rat-race is, and why a minimalist lifestyle and a

The real issue that we here, on the Red Island, take with normies, dude-bro’s, and basic-bitches is that all the information is out there ( on this new, mysterious thing called the 'internet'), on how NOT to fuck up. There are books, articles, economic formulas, experts, authors who don't just write and publish their findings for fun and "something to do". Yet, the average person would rather watch Dancing with the Stars, buy their new iPhone, work themselves to death for no

The third shift, dog shift, or the graveyard is one of the best gigs you can get. Moon marauding is not for normies, however. Studies have shown that those who are natural born ‘night owls,’ or who prefer being up when everyone else is dreaming, are the highly intelligent and more creative of our species. There are tremendous amounts of benefits to working the overnight vs. a regular 9-5 cubicle slave job. There are, however, always a few drawbacks. These drawbacks are very m

Depending on your level of sleeplessness (or you don’t watch regular TV anymore), you may or may not be aware of the Trivago Guy, the slightly creased, sad-eyed star of a series of ads for the Germany-based booking site. In the commercials, Trivago Guy explains how the site can help you "find the ideal hotel for the best price," though he's far from your average spokesperson. From his overall lack of grooming – mussed hair, slight scruff and a crinkled wardrobe that looks lik

From 1999 to 2012 the percentage of Americans on antidepressants increased from 6.8% to 13%, according to a report published this week by the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). Why is that? We can only assume until the next data report that the trend is continuing to move in an upward direction. Today, I would like to address the problem we have as a society in its current form. Our problem is that our economic health is becoming matched with our physical hea
