Remember to swallow with a pinch of salt

Swallow with a pinch of salt

When you discover The Red Pill you will want to devour as much material as you can as it resonates so well with how you think the world should be; it just makes sense.

What’s important is how you deal with all the information you are consuming.

You need to realise that no one, including the endorsed contributors, has all the answers and is able to provide the best information for your specific circumstance. You need to take everything you read here with a pinch of salt.

It could be that up to half of the content provided here at TRP is completely redundant to you because of who you are as a person and what makes you content, and that’s alright.

Read everything then read some more, be skeptical of the source, critically evaluate ideas that are new to you and prepare to have your ideas critically evaluated. Cherry pick the articles you pay attention to from the main sub and realise that the advice you get from r/asktrp is from someone that has known you for one paragraph.

Develop your own composition of The Red Pill; no one knows what you need more than you.

Be critical about everything you hear, decide whether it makes sense without your emotions. Regardless of the source, it needs to fit both according to your experience and according to logic.

That said, don't take this as license to think whatever you want, that's the worst way you could go with this.

Very good, thats reasonable, and obvious, I can agree with that

Maybe it's obvious, but not everyone does it.

But most of all, be critical of yourself. Are you making the right decision, or are you just hamstering your way from self-improvement?

The problem with the overly critical mindset is that it's a setup for male hamstering. TRP is a model, and like all models it has caveats and conditions, specific instances where a slightly different approach is optimal.

What one shouldn't walk away with is the idea that uncomfortable ideas can simply be ignored. A man who understands TRP but behaves beta will still produce beta results. TRP concepts are the ones that are applicable most of the time.

Yeah.

I am a Christian and do not use Red Pill in order to hook up with women because I believe that sex does not make you a man. What I do believe makes you a man is constantly improving yourself and striving to become the best person that you can be, including expanding your knowledge and physical fitness. I really wish that more people would open their mind to what the core of Red Pill really is and not just lookat extreme examples, very similar to extremist feminists.

Funny, "similar to extremist feminists" is what I always say about Christians.

In fact what's really funny is that every feminist who comes here talks about how she loves the "self improvement" aspects of TRP exactly the same way that you do.

There are a million places that will tell you to go lift and work on your career that aren't TRP, yet for some reason you're here.

The difference between TRP and other sources is TRP cuts through the dishonest Christianist / Feminist moralizing that holds so many people back from doing those things.

I just see through the aspects that I don't agree with. I don't look down on anyone for spinning plates or whatever, I just choose to not do it myself.

I guess I'm just here because I've believed in the values and core beliefs centering around hard work, and I find a lot of identity in working hard. Have to keep extremely busy now that high school is out for the summer to be happy, for the first 16/17 years of my life I was very Blue Pill in every sense of the term, fat, lazy, beta etc.

I choose to browse TRP over other sources because I would rather expand my knowledge and be involved in a place that doesn't completely just say what I want to be said for self validation.

I'd be happy to talk about 'dishonest Christian moralizing' if you want! Just going to the gym for a few hours.

There is a lot of feminizing of the church occuring. Massive waves of idiots repeating television assisted mass-produced PC garbage.

It's not deliberately and overtly subversive, it just leaves a larger margin for ignornance by tolerating Beta cults and double speaking for their maitenance (they're like women and require such). These "Mens groups" that propagating a "bible study guide" written by feminist influnce.

It happens, I could even detail how it is demonic but that require a tl;dr including some greek and latin.

Great post.

Another thing I'd like to say is that remember to adapt the advice given here according to your needs. This is especially true if you come from a non-western culture. Most of the people here are americans and naturally the adviceis from an american perspective. I'm from India, and if i followed the advice given word by word i'd probably be beaten up for sexual harrasment.

Mods, sticky this in the sidebar please.

I think the cultural difference is not what you might think. Not less or more than; just different.

Indian culture has patches for hypergamy in nuanced situations that western culture doesn't overtly provide for.

The result is that all women are cared for at some point or another by a man who becomes obligated to suppress her hypergamy.

The result is that there are more old women around to keep traditions alive. This provides a monumental opposition to feminism establishing roots in the metaconciousness of the people.

Simply by the inertial mental weight of 4x the population of America combines with older traditions and and an extensive repetoire of handling nuanced vectors of hypergamous approach, India will resist feminism more strongly than the west. Alongside later adoption, you will find yourself betwixt cultural extremes and the intense friction it produces.

In the middle of all that it will be harder to distinguish between fallout, hypergamy and traditionalism.

None of that will change the nature of hypergamy or the relevence of the description of what works. You need all the more to study the principles and write your own rites of game.

Ex. "Agree and Amplify" is a principle. Your culture has no bearing on the fact that this works even if something prohibits a particular expression.

Your culture is an agreement between men made over women and between women made over men.

The prohibition of speech is a request by women made to white knights. Forgiving the local mockery of western exploitation of these tendancies as natural social mechanisms, or in other words, don't let TRP fnord you into circle jerking and out of achieving greater perspective; we must realize this as a method of preserving the functionality of AFBB.

In that, Betas are repressed. This is an internalized self-oppression. It's like a pressurized glass jar that works. Don't knock it or it will blow up in everyone's face.

Once fall off the bar of competency, Western culture lets you run your mouth and prove your ignorance. This rattles and blows a lot of jars but the ones that work are made of tougher stuff.

This is product of feminism and social decay it is also a "cause" but it is not the root cause. You do have this to look forward to. Prepare your children because if you tolerate this then they will be next.

tl;dr - This natural censorship preserves social stability. All the principles work but "culture" forces you to be more subtle. You still have to do and say the same thing but there are higher standards for "being clever."

Hinduism and Indian culture history fascinate me for my own reasons and I'd be more than happy to discuss nuance of approach and thresh out with you what is what and what to expect vs. what is actually "exclusively" western culture.

True story! I started with TRP by generally being more aggressive than I already was. After a couple of months of trying to give off an asshole vibe, I realized that me being nice is what most people consider to be an "asshole." This is all a spectrum. People have different personality, so taking someone's advice verbatim could do more harm than good.

I'm an asshole too, being more of an asshole drives them away, which is OK because I discovered that actually, I hate people.

Your "be reasonable" advice will only be heard by people who are already reasonable. Therefore this thread has no value. No matter who reads it they think they are already reasonable.

Whoa, why all this hate? I think this is a valid point. Sometimes it's really easy to get sucked into this mindset, but I try to remember that not all of these examples or principles apply to me in the way they're described here. Well said, OP

A pinch of salt and a drop of "essential" oil. Can't go wrong.
