POST INSPIRED BY THIS CLASSIC VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_zZpABJ_Vw&ab_channel=1M Ever feel like life has a way of sorting people into winners and losers as they age? That’s not just in your head. There’s a concept that Kris likes to call The Great Filter. It’s the stage in life, usually between 25 and 30, where the effort—or lack thereof—that men have put into their development becomes glaringly obvious. If you’ve been coasting, you’ll feel it. But if you’ve been grinding, the rewards can be enormous. Here’s how it works and why it matters for you. What Is the Great Filter? The Great Filter is that crucial phase where men’s life paths start to diverge sharply. At 23, most guys look roughly the same—leaner bodies, decent energy, and youthful looks. But by 25, the cracks start to show. It becomes clear who’s been working on themselves and who hasn’t. By the time you hit 30, the differences are impossible to ignore. Here’s why: 1. Biology Changes: Your body doesn’t bounce back as easily. Poor diet and lack of exercise compound quickly. 2. Lifestyles Diverge: Those who’ve built discipline start reaping the rewards, while others fall victim to bad habits like drinking, overeating, or stagnating. 3. Society Stops Caring: Unlike in school or early adulthood, no one is there to guide you or pick you up. You’re on your own. Why Most Men Fail the Filter Many guys hit 25 and realize they’re slipping, but they don’t know how to course-correct. Here’s what happens: - Neglecting Fitness: By this age, natural leanness fades. The guys who skip the gym start gaining weight, losing muscle, and struggling to maintain a decent physique. - Ignoring Self-Improvement: Skills, knowledge, and earning potential plateau for those who don’t invest in themselves. - Bad Habits Catching Up: Drinking, poor diets, and lack of structure accelerate the decline. The result? By 30, a large percentage of men are overweight, broke, or stuck in dead-end jobs. It’s no wonder that one in two men in many developed countries is either overweight or obese by this point.
