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.
