I just had a realization during yoga to share with other beginners struggling to change their mental models. As men we pride ourselves for being logical and thinking correctly and this is why it is painful to let go of conclusions we have been following and are invested in. We can accept so much of what Chase teaches by deciding to "Respect Reality."

We respect gravity by not jumping off cliffs. We respect our need for energy by eating food to fuel our bodies. Nobody complains that people should have had wings and gravity is unfair. No one laments our inability to perform photosynthesis. We just operate under the constraints we are given.

And now It is time to reject romanticism and accept that the reality is that people follow incentives over morals. Customers buy what they believe to be the best and cheapest product over the most ethical product, and judge with their emotions. A woman will choose a man, using her emotions, that she believes will lead her to quick, discrete, and high-quality sex to get good genes. It's all there is to it. Respect reality by giving people incentives to be with you and avoid moralizing to everything. This is just another law of the universe Chase is just teaching us the human version of F=ma.
