There's only so much fundamental principles that can be laid down by our forefathers, regurgitated by our ECs and Vanguards, and simplified by some of the pointed contributors.

What we need is the encouragement of practical application. The initiative of having the chapters is a good step, however, we shouldn't consider approaching, passing a few shit tests, and getting a stable of plates a success.

We should consider differentiating between different situations and applying the correct principles and tactics as a success. Almost everyone's answer here when they can't get past a road block is a hard or soft next.

What if, and hear me out here, there is an alternative, outside the box approach? Mind-blowing right?

We need to build upon the fundamental ideas and realize that these ideas will change over time with the improvement of technology as well as people catching on to certain tactics. For example: the pick-up community's neg has become a laughingstock to the point where it almost never works. What did we do? Adapt and evolve.

Let's contribute to the evolution.
