Topic: I'm archiving tons of blog posts about self-improvement and masculinity

I want to print them out and compile a book in a binder of all the self-improvement articles and bits of information I've read over the years. Many of them have been lost due to my own failure to save links, but I'm actively downloading PDFs of a ton of articles. Lots of Mark Manson, Return of Kings, Red Pill stuff.
I was inspired by the film "American Pie Presents: The Book of Love". In the film, a group of teenagers discover in their school's library a compiled book full of information on sex and techniques. The book has been modified countless times over the decades, with each user adding their own content to it.
I like to daydream about having a son and giving him my book, and encouraging him to keep it, modify it how he sees fit, and pass it along to his son. The objective here is to give him an advantage on all the other dudes his age. If he reads and internalizes all this stuff at a young age, then imagine where he'd be at when he's my current age. Dude would be slaying in every aspect of life.
The ironic part is that I'm too much of a beta male bitch to have a son. I can't even get laid. But it's the little things we do that give us some sort of purpose, right?

My problem with family heirlooms like this is that, at some point, you will inevitability have a retard descendent who ruins it somehow and breaks the chain. It may happen many generations after you are gone, but the retard descendent will inevitability appear.
Buy anyway, OP, you should do it anyway. I think that a book telling men they need to be domineering sexists to succeed in life is a good idea.

The problem is that a lot of information will be contradictory, such as "don't smoke" "it's okay to smoke once in a while" etc etc etc. By far the biggest life change I'd do would be getting a vasectomy at 20 if I could do a life redo, however I very much doubt that's in your pile of printouts.

Trying to pass along wisdom and learned experiences to your children is part of parenting already. Giving their children the opportunity to absorb the knowledge they had to learn the hard way is something most parents try to do.
That being said, if my dad gave me his weird creepy sex book I'd throw it the fucking trash.
I don't recall my parents ever teaching me about morality or ethics or dating or whatever. Probably because I was the 3rd child and they decided that I'd learn that by myself anyway.
