đź’žEROS EVO SNEAK PEEK: My New Thesis Chart Creation (Chart, Details, & Sneak Peek)
Welcome my friend to one of the new editions of the Posimistic Letter! My-name-Elvis and I have the “treat” for you. Get it? it’s almost time for Halloween and- Okay I’ll stop… I HAVE A NEW SYNTHESIS FOR YOU TO INDULGE IN! This time it’s about LOVE 💞
Yes, you can say I’m expecting soon, here’s what the mammograms are looking like so far…
That’s enough baby pics for now haha. Why this idea didn’t pop up in February, the month of love? IDK but I can’t discriminate when the divine downloads come randomly. But by or before Feb 2025, I’ll have my expected delivery date. You can be sure that we’ll have more concrete officially polished V1 ready by then. Just don’t want to keep you waiting because love can strike at any moment. As displayed with the matchmaking methods currently listed on the chart itself.
By the way, here are some screenshots of the chart & its data still in progress…
The core idea this new synthesis conveys is this: There are different types of relationships. You can have multiple friendships but you must know the dynamics of each so you can maximize the joy, fun, & potential of each while successfully avoiding it from deteriorating.
Those relationships being (3 types): Masculine Friends (BROS), Feminine Friends (BESTIES), And your romantic partner (BABE). So the next time someone says “What are we?” you can either say
- We’re Bros!
- We’re Besties!
- You’re my babe!
Sounds pretty ridiculous right? YESSSS! At first read it might but that’s because It’s still not official yet. So in the meantime might as well use these fun labels. Lets make science fun & fun with Gen-Z language haha!
Here are some potential questions you may have about this new synthesis. You can also ask me questions directly on any social media or email at PosimisticHQ@gmail.com.
FAQ
Why is it labeled Bro, Bestie, & Babe? Because they all start with a B. I love choosing terms with alliteration. Just like Suffering, Surviving, Succeeding in Ego Evo. Endo, Ecto, & Exto in Exo Evo. Until I find more professional terms, I’m going to have to keep it at these lol.
What does Eros mean? Eros is a Greek deity and concept that embodies romantic love, sexual desire, and procreation. It represents the passionate, physical, and often intense aspect of love. In Greek mythology, Eros is often depicted as a winged child carrying a bow and arrows. His arrows are said to cause people to fall in love with whoever they are aimed at. While Eros is associated with passionate love, it's not always about romantic love. It can also represent the love between parents and children, or the love of nature. Love in general. That’s why It's the perfect word to show the 3 different types of relationships: masculine friendships (your bros), feminine friendships (your besties), and romantic partner (your babe/GF/BF/Wife/Husband/Lover/etc). …And Eros also starts with an E :P
Does this also work for Gays, LGBTQ, etc? - Yes, while I am a heterosexual man, it is not only for straight people. Because all relationships require a duality of one person being the masculine one & the other being a feminine one.
This synthesis says men can just be friends with women? - Yes, but both parties MUST have the same energy (masculine man & masculine woman = BROS) or (feminine man & feminine woman = BESTIES). If a man with more masculine energy tries to become friends with a feminine energy dominant woman, eventually one of them WILL catch feelings (and become each other’s BABE).
Hope you’re excited about it as I am! Once you fully understand it, you’re friendships will flourish and you’ll be able to develop them into one-of-a-kind relationships. More to come in the future & you will always be the first one to see these discoveries as a loyal subscriber!
🌟đźŽUNMASKING THE EGO: +11 Different Masks We Wear To Hide Our Authenticity (Unmask To Uncover Your Self)
Why wear a Halloween costume this year when we already wear masks every day?
Poetic right? Jokes tho I’m still choosing to wear a costume this year. Even if you don’t go trick or treating, you should still choose a costume you WOULD wear every year in your mind. This may not be scientifically helpful but it is helpful for my inner child to at least mentally play with the seasons in mind. So this year while I'm not going out, I still picked out in my mind what I would wear if I had to go out & had an endless budget for a costume: And that’s Doctor Doom in his suit.
That’s my choice this year. What’s yours?? Mentally choose you one before continuing reading if you want to. If not all good either way — let’s keep reading!
Every day our ego chooses to wear a mask if we interact with the public.
Some masks help us accomplish our goals quicker, protect us from danger, and keep us safe. But the power of each mask has its own set of consequences if we do NOT take them off: Delusion, Inauthenticity, Dissociation, Betrayal, Superficial Relationships, and more.
With great power comes great responsibility. So while you do gain some social advantages from wearing the masks I’ll be outlining below, they can easily backfire in the long term and cause us more harm than gooooood. Try on new masks but take them off at the end of the day.
So here is my list of metaphorical masks the ego likes to wear that I’ve noticed so far. Notice them. Become aware of them. Then make the intentional decision to keep em on or take them off.
This is not my final list nor are these masks official yet. Some of these masks may not even be true or an actual ego mask. This is just my list from the research I’ve compiled last month. I plan on adding these inside a new phase in the Ego Evolution Theory chart. My only problem at the moment is not knowing how to fit these on the 1 page format yet haha.

Additional Potential Masks
These are masks I’ve asked Google Gemini to fetch me some more but I feel like they don’t make the cut just yet & some of the ones I have sound identical to them…
- ISOLATION: Withdraws from social interactions to avoid rejection or conflict.
- DENIAL: Refuses to acknowledge problems or emotions.
- AVOIDANCE: Avoids difficult situations or conversations.
- PASSIVE AGGRESIVE: Indirectly expresses anger or resentment.
- The Chronic Complainer: Focuses on negative aspects to avoid taking responsibility.
- SKEPTICISM: Questions their abilities or worth to avoid failure.
- The Self-Critic: Criticizes themselves harshly to avoid external judgment.
- PERFECTION-ISM: Strives for perfection to avoid feeling inadequate.
- The Critic (could just be DEFLECTION): Judges others to feel superior or in control.
We wear these masks to hide how we truly feel or who we truly are. Because if you just go around showing the world for who you truly are, there could be some consequences that could reduce the life span of your ego. Like being kicked out of circles limiting your access. Not getting hired because of the way you are. Getting fewer relationship matches thus lowering your options for mating.
These masks aren’t bad per se, it’s just very easy for one to start to identify themselves with the mask they wear. Which is what we don’t want. Because then we constrain ourselves the mask’s way of thinking, it’s politics, it’s beliefs, it’s fears, and more. Then we become a shell of who we are and now we’re left with nothing but the mask. When in reality you are a divine source.
Now you are more aware of what your ego will try to do to protect yourself — The real you. The source you.
So which masks does your ego like to wear often? I know my ego likes the “Locked-In” mask the most. It helps me complete tasks when I don’t feel like it. I'm even using it as I write this at my local winery. But let me know yours & what you think of this emerging list. Until the next month I get to spend time with you, have a great Halloween & emerging Autumn season!
ELVIS EVOLUTION THEORIES: New Updates & More
New Additions To Theories & Changes
- New Disclaimer For All Charts: Wherever there is an “*” at the end of a term, it means it's a new discovery/proposed addition from Elvis. - Many people think these charts are just a combination of ALREADY DISCOVERED data, but this is false. Upon assembling these charts I get some new mental connections as well! I haven’t done the best job at labeling those but that changes this month. So whenever you see a term/word/solution with an asterisk at the end, means It’s an original thought/new discovery (at least original in the sense I haven’t found it cited or scattered anywhere on the internet) that I have made.
- Updated the wording to MACROECONOMIC SYSTEM COMPARISON (In Econ Evolution Theory)
- You may have noticed that there hasn’t been a new updated chart for Ego Evolution Theory since January 1st, 2024. The reason why is that I’ve had all these new ideas for new thesis charts & the new changes I was making to it were mostly cosmetic changes.
