What does /fit/ think of David Goggins and his philosophy?
>>
>>77579188
he's like diogenes
goes to the extremes to show what's possible so that you can aim lower than him and still be a beast
something like that
>>
>>77579188
i think the average normie doesn't realize that he was already an air force tacp and had already been in better shape than 99% of the population before he got fat

same with the running until he broke his legs story, he was already a navy seal at that point he was just roiding in the fleet not prepared for endurance
>>
>>77579192
I've read that his colleagues in the military didn't like him because he was not a team player. It could be bullshit though, who knows.
>>
>>77579223
Apparently they don't like spergs, same as any social group, Jocko talks about how he was such a try hard he'd go running in his jungle boots and eventually someone told him to chill out a bit because he was pushing his team-mates away trying so hard to be John Seal.

Jocko's real name is John btw kek

Goggins is an enigma.
Absolute mental illness yet somehow still completely based.

He makes me wonder if my problem isn't that I'm mentally ill, but that I'm not mentally ill enough.
>>
>>77579191
I see you've heard of Diogenes, but that's as far as your understanding goes
>>
>>77579188
Doesn't he got ruined knees and edema from overtraining?
>>
>>77579404
it's because taking action is cool
most mentally ill guys just chit around and eat hot chip and cry about how they can't lock it
>>
>>77579223
this navy seal i knew in prison said he would fabricate a lot of stories and exxagerate shit. a lot of people didn't like him
>>
>>77579188
Noggins is a fake natty tranny

>>77579188
Imagine someone has a message that motivates you to do better, Now imagine a person that sees you doing better and puts down the message. That's a bully, and they're insecure about something in themself. The trick to destroying bullies egos is convincing them that they are less cool than the thing they are putting down. In most cases it is very easy to waffle stomp a bully's ego, and it feels really good to see the fake confidence leave their eyes.

DYEL Joggins finna get ass cancer PLUS a. fib from his B.S. routines, should stick to running distances under 10k, and lift some damn weights.
>>
>>77579223
People always say this but I've never actually seen anyone accuse him of anything bad. Jocko told a story about how he'd do a six mile run to the range instead of driving which speaks to having an "always on" tryhard mentality that is probably aggravating in a war zone but I don't think he ever really has any dark secrets or giant failures he's covering up desu.
>>
>>77579990
What's the motivating message?

If you're going to run away from your parental responsibilities and childhood psychological issues at least do it professionally?
>>
>>77579188
He sacrificed the time he could spend with his child to be a mindless drone for the US military. He never had any iron will, just an addiction to pain and self hatred, he allowed them to control his life.
>>
>>77579430
As the one profound thing Cameron Hanes said:
>You have to be used up on something. You have to.
Sure, you could have good knees in your coffin, but the price is you don't get to be Goggins.
>>
>>77579990
To be fair, every philosophy and its evangelists need to go through testing, a lot of trash people say good-sounding things, and a lot of good-sounding things are just auditory masturbation. I reckon Goggins holds up.
>>
>>77579415
I once slept in a bears den, have you done that
>>
>>77580155
>He sacrificed the time he could spend with his child to be a mindless drone for the US military
As opposed to righteously continuing his 9-5 as a cocroach stomper
>He never had any iron will, just an addiction to pain and self hatred, he allowed them to control his life.
As opposed to the iron will to watch Netflix 3h per night and go punch his timecard at the ball crushing factory

Inability to think outside extremes is a major feature of autism, if you seek help maybe they can put you in social skills training or something
>>
>>77580192
>seek help
Redditor or woman, call it
>extremes
The whole point of Goggins is extremes, why else are we using a whole thread to talk about him, he's not some middle of the road guy, I'm not interested in talking about how to be more mediocre
>>
>>77579188
He's still running away from the mental asylum
>>
>>77580189
>blah blah cockroach stomper
It would be more dignified than leaving his child
>the remaining bullshit
Projecting
>>
>>77579404
He certainly has some serious demons he's running from. I wonder how he's gonna deal with aging when he's no longer physically capable of doing his thing anymore, specially since his body is probably gonna be completely fucked up.
>>
>>77579188
All runners exist somewhere on the David Spectrum, between David Goggins and David Roche.
>>
>>77579188
This board will say foids this, foids that, yet flip on Goggins due to his family. I hundred percent believe that his ex-wife is crazy and got his daughter against him. He was paying 75k a month in child support to her.
>>
>>77580221
>leaving his child boo hoo
Blah blah blah she was a gains goblin
>>
>>77579188
He can’t outrun his gay thoughts no matter how much he tries
>>
Incredibly useful if you need to reposition yourself, change videos or have to stutter-step across the room to get a tissue because you forgot to bring one.
>>
>>77580314
>He was paying 75k a month in child support to her.
The marriage institution is truly 100% fucked in entire western world, isn't it?
>>
>>77580054
The message is how someone went from a complete piece of shit to becoming someone they're proud of. You're diving into someone's personal life to poke flaws. Wtf have you done in your life? Are you proud of your accomplishments when you look in the mirror?

Yeah, your mom was a bear in the den, alright.

He does seem to have the narcissistic personality that doesn't work with the military

A brownoid is not to be considered in any aspect of my life.

Resonates because I was gonna start cutting myself but decided to lift instead. It's still self-harm to me.

Another roiding influencer trying to sell you shit while pretending they're natty they're a dime a dozen and anyone who cares about their opinions is a retarded NPC

I love staying hard

His ex-wife cleaned his diarrhea-soaked clothing and dressed all of his wounds on his feet for years. She earned every penny and more.

>discipline without reason is autism

in his case he is a businessman who needs to go to extremes so people buy his product. sometimes i wonder how many young guys waste precious years because they run until their toes rot off and they are too tired to do something that gets them forward in life.
