The thing is that this delayed gratification is what allowed modern society to appear in the first place. Without delayed gratification you can't have farming or housing. Both of which are vitally important for human survival in most places in the world.
Humans, and probably all life, have a high time preference. We even have sayings about this in the form of "a bird in hand is better than two in the bush." My guess is that this has to do with the future being difficult to predict. It's essentially a balance between how many resources you should use right now vs how much you should invest into the future.

This could also be why some non Aryans undertake things such as partying/alcoholism during their college years: they feel that youth is meant for "enjoyment" and that not doing so means one is "wasting their youth". This could also be why they reproduce early.

After thinking it through, I believe the above behavior is a product of delayed gratification, namely the destruction of original nobility by compulsory education. When they were children, those individuals might have been interested in non adult activities. But because they were not allowed to do those things then, when they were finally given "freedom" in adulthood, their original nobility was destroyed so they became interested in worldly things.

I see. In that case, I have not played any adventure games, but I agree that the game looks interesting.

Back in the Counterculture era, Legend of Zelda was considered an ARPG (action role-playing game). By AVG I refer strictly to the type of gameplay shown/described in the previous post (which is nothing like the gameplay of Zelda games). As I said, these were mostly not ported to the West (whereas the entire Zelda franchise was).

"Do you like AVGs?"
Legend of Zelda is considered an adventure video game, so yes I guess.

"Adventure" can mean different things to different cultures. I myself am a fan of the AVG (adventure video game) genre, for example:

The game features a branching narrative where two different protagonists, one male and one female, provide different perspectives on the story. The game introduced a unique twist to the system by allowing the player to switch between both protagonists at any time during the game, instead of finishing one protagonist's scenario before playing the other. EVE Burst Error often requires the player to have both protagonists co-operate with each other at various points during the game.[4]

Just reading the above description gives me an adventurous feeling! Unfortunately, most AVGs never got ported to the West because Western feedback found them too boring!

Do you like AVGs?

That's not fun, there is no adventure, it's a rush from risking your life. That is all, this isn't impressive and is boring and dangerous. Like three well known cases exist online within the past teb hears of fatal incidents like this
I disagree that it is "boring" or "not adventurous". Westerners like these things precisely for the reason that they are not.

Overly impulsive behavior could be disadvantageous for hunter, as it could end up scaring off the prey.

Sometimes I think that I myself fall prey to instant gratification. For example, m@sturbating gives me a dopamine rush and gives me a peace of mind, whereas doing activism (even if it seems small, such as just posting here) will yield long term "harvests" toward Aryanism. However, I think this is more impulsivity tbh, when I see initiated violence happening all around me, I want it to stop and the perpetrators to be punished at "this moment". However, that is not practically possible, so I end up resorting to coping mechanisms.

Agree with this. This is why I am against traditionalism, which causes people to suppress their true instincts (i.e. sexual repression).

However, those people may still reproduce, just a little later than usual, after they achieve economic stability.

If so, then it should be the case that by removing social restrictions, those who formerly reproduced early would no longer be reproducing early because they now get to do partying/alcoholism instead. This would be in line with our objective of reducing births.

This is why you see the lower classes ("povertymaxxers") breed like rabbits despite lacking the financial means to support their offspring.

"Also, it would seem that early reproduction would get in the way of partying/alcoholism, so I'm not sure why you are attributing a common cause to both."
Some people, who cannot pursue partying/alcoholism due to societal restrictions, end up marrying and reproducing because that is the outlet for their gratification (sexual/reproductive desire) and they cannot contemplate (or simply do not care) about the consequences.

It is possible to enjoy youth without equating enjoyment with those particular activities. Is someone who prefers other activities and hence spends their youth pursuing those activities enjoying youth less?

Also, it would seem that early reproduction would get in the way of partying/alcoholism, so I'm not sure why you are attributing a common cause to both.
