Stand up for your self. Have confidence but don't let it make you into an idiot. If you don't know something learn it or find someone that does know it. Treat people well. Don't gossip. Take care of your health. Call out poor behavior of others. There are many ways to ways to control situations without violence. Tell your bros that you love them, because men don't hear it enough.

Why be nice when being funny or good looking are equally acceptable substitutes?

It means figuring stuff out like this on your own.

I could answer you, I could write an essay or give it to you in bullet points, and it wouldn't make a difference.
You would either a) not understand, b) not believe me and try to argue about it, or c) be unwilling or unable to act on the information anyways to form your own knowledge and experience.

If you need to ask this question, just find someone to be told what to do

Good and bad are meaningless statements, therefore, the only way to interpret this sentence correctly is that by being convenient with other people when you are weak, you're the one being ripped off, by being convenient but stronger, you might get something out of it. Like how some famous people scam you with their formations and whatnot...

Else niceness is submission (submission is neither good nor bad since its meaningless) to the convenience of someone else. Everything moral is made so that you don't make those in power mad and jealous.
Women used to be bad for having free sex, because it was at the disadvantage of men in power, thus bad.
In some ways rape is bad because you are denying the claim of a woman to her body and that makes her mad, the same way a homeowner would get mad if you told them "it's my home now"
The social contracts asks that since everyone going apeshit at the same time might be detrimental to all of us, we will survive with a morality. There is no strength involved.

The question is then, as a free man, should you go the shrewd route and promote ideals of morals for everyone but you to follow, or the frontal collision overman that just states his business outright being fearless?

nothing else can be said of meaningless statements like, masculinity, strength, etc...

When guys like peterson ask you to be nice, they mean: "women you should be faithful to me, men, you should be nice and obey me"

Masculinity is a psyop that makes men think they're cool for being work donkeys labouring for 13 hours a day in a mine and not "whining" while the "effeminate" liberal office workers sit in air conditioned rooms and get paid 5x as much.
