Mentor Men, Role Models, etc.

Alexander the Great.

They were marching across the desert. His men were dying of thirst. Someone found a small puddle of a dried up oasis. They brought him the small amount of water in a helmet.

He looked at his men and poured it out on the sand. Then turned around and started walking again.

I admire Elon Musk and everything he's done.

I saw a particularly good interview where he was asked about how he stays motivated and on task to be productive. He almost seemed a little baffled by the question, like he couldn't think in those terms, and the closest he could say is that when something needs to be done it's just automatic that you do it. Like it was inconceivable that he could sit there and not do it.

Bruce Lee. Striking Thoughts is a great book.

Batman, no joke. My father was an aggressive asshole with a temper, a wannabe alpha, but really beta through and through. He'd take everything out on me, and sometimes my mother, but never my sister.

So the good people at DC gave me an alternative, and Batman grew more and more important to me. Not the vigilante part, but the stoic, observant and troubled parts. The part that stuck to his principles, the absolutely unbreakable frame (although I never called it that until I swallowed the pill).

A fictional character is a perfectly valid role model if you lack a real one. And the people at DC know this full well.

Joey Diaz (comedian), dude helped me so much and continues to. I look up to him so much. Dad dies when he was 3, mother when he was 15, fat fuck, coke head, went to prison and is now a great comedian and actor. His podcast is pure RP, "I'm the captain kirk of this enterprise", one of my favorite lines of his.

Patrice Oneal (R.I.P.), another comic, RP forefather... dude was a fat fuck but was funny and got laid. If you read RP you should have watched his stand up by now.

Winston Churchill, many people only saw the great orator, the fiery leader, the man who refused to submit to tyranny; but Churchill suffered from depression, had thoughts on suicide and many suspected had bi polar disorder, but through it all he refused to give into his sick mind, but instead became the leader the British people needed; and found the strength to resist and ultimately prevail against insurmountable odds.

Arnold for physique, John Wayne for brass balls, Clint Eastwood for stoicism and Iow tolerance for dumb shit, and a hint of Don Frye.

Sean Connery, Samuel L. Jackson, Jason Statham, Bruce Willis, the list goes on. These guys play extremely alpha characters in most of their movies, but remember that movie alpha isn't the same as reality alpha. The basic traits are the same (large, muscular, good at fighting, stoic, etc.) but there should always be skepticism.

Driver from the movie Drive.

I take bits and pieces from successful men but the truth is that it is very tough for me to find a role model. I am of indian descent and my background produces the most blue pilled spineless men on the entire planet and that means I have little to no role models to actually look up to.

Jack Nicholson. For whatever reason, this man seems to me like the perfect example of what we, as men, should strive for.

He's not insanely good looking, I'd say he has an average looking face. His built is average, he's been balding ever since he's started doing movies. He's not insanely tall, and by every standard, he's a pretty average guy.

Except for his game. This man has reportedly slept with more women than probably all TRP subscribers combined. He married once, cheated on her (obviously), got a divorced and has been single ever since, banging chicks half his age all this time.

The thing is, he's an intelligent man. And he has a personality- a typical Alpha personality. He's short-tempered, he's whimsical and he doesn't take shit from anyone, ever. On the other hand, he's hard working, focused and totally dedicated to achieving what he wants. He's a self made man and has had a thrilling adventurous life.

Top that with the fact that he didn't think twice before hitting on Jennifer Lawrence, who's about 1/4th his age. He'll never live to rue a lost opportunity.

It's great to use fictional characters and/or celebrities as inspiration, but I'm not sure they make good role models. It's important to have real-world examples in order to know what is realistic.

I have had the good fortune to have an excellent colleague/mentor, around whom I model my professional behavior. He's not perfect, and we've duked it out over the years on a few issues (having one particularly thorny period), but I still count him as my best and most important mentor. I think the key is to remember that we are all human and to forgive our mentors for their inevitable flaws.

Perseverence of Ali, Animosity of Emilianko, Intelligence of Musk, Brilliance of Gates, Aggression of Tyson, Ideals of Nietzsche, Cunningness of Machiavelli. Motivation, Vision and Self-Confidence of Arnold, Minimalism of Lenin, Understanding of Watts (Alan) and any man able to remain logical, calm and composed when faced with death.

Khan Noonein Singh (extremely ambitious, intelligent, strong, and desires power)
Light Yagami (Death Note --> extremely ambitious, intelligent, and desires absolute power).
Spock (ability to conquer his biology as well as his innate intelligence, the former is absolutely slaughtered in the new series, when they introduce an impossible relationship into the mix)

They are both fictional of course, so I'll provide you with some real-world examples below:

Nikola Tesla, Arthur Schopenhauer, Albert Einstein, etc. However, all of these men to some degree were blue-pill as none of them saw female nature as we have the opportunity to do so.

Genghis-Brah · 2014-09-11T05:21:54+00:00

Genghis Khan and Ernest Hemingway. I'm not a fan of fictitious people from TV or movies. That's not real.

Genghis Khan is the definition of winning and showing people who wronged him what sweet revenge is. I will not lie, it would feel great eradicating your enemies gene pool. Good thing we have less of those people these days. Having much more civilized and decent people is much better than having human apes on the loose. The guy also spread his gene pool all the way to Asia and Eastern Europe. I don't think he had pussy problems.

Ernest Hemingway. Guy is a baller too.

4io8 · 2014-09-11T03:52:13+00:00

I know he is fictional but Marlo Stanfield from "The Wire". The fact that its on tv give you the chance to see it rather than just read and imagine. Its way more powerful that way. I dont agree with violence, but the way if approaching things.

The way he is able to judge and build the character of his people.

The minimal communication because he everything he says means so much.

The acceptance of the game. That his life and winnings are temporary.

N-N-DMT · 2014-09-10T20:56:07+00:00

Andrew Carnegie.

mastercheifer · 2014-09-10T21:48:25+00:00

Snake/Big boss. He taught me that a good grunt is worth a thousand words.

[deleted] · 2014-09-10T22:26:46+00:00

My mentor when I was 18. He's a bit of a misanthrope but he swallowed the pill in the 1980's.

His psychological theory of intergender dynamics is definitely competitive with Rollo's in depth and soundness.

Sadly though, he saw the only way to resolve the problems behind the veil with severe MGTOW (he's a hermit); current Red Pill philosophy is giving men a healthier alternative IMHO: learn how to game women and learning how to be men independent from the feminine. Very powerful stuff.

el_Technico · 2014-09-10T23:38:55+00:00

For a role model, Ali ibn abi Taleb.

Quite possibly the greatest man who has ever lived.

Rogerdodger1985 · 2014-09-11T00:25:34+00:00

My dad...he's pretty red pill tbh.

As far as people I don't know Napoleon is a great one. Read a biography of his if you can - guys one bad motherfucker.

Joe Rogan is probably in there somewhere as well (I like how he carries himself and his outlook on life). Listen to his podcast it's pretty good.

[deleted] · 2014-09-11T03:54:41+00:00

For me, its a friend I made last year. He is for all intents and still a kid. But he grew up in a rough area. And he shows a lot of Red Pill/Alpha traits. He doesn't give a fuck about woman, always full of energy, goal focused, and bold as all hell. And he doesn't even read or study red pill or PUA. Its all natural.

1.) Huddie "Leadbelly"Ledbetter.

One of the greatest musicians to have lived, a kick ass guitar player, and a tough as nails dude. Read about him, the guy was fucking OG, and imho, a huge embodiment of masculinity.

2.) Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The samurai who established the third and final Shogunate of Japan that lasted from 1600 to 1868. The man adapted to all the shifting and corrupt alliances of the day, and came out the victor after he crushed his enemies. Read a book on him, or check out James Clavell's Shogun, which is a quasi-history based on the final months leading to Tokugawa establishing the Shogunate.

3.) Peter Steele

One of my biggest role models for alot of what he did. Produced his own albums, ran his own band, and wrote all of Type O Negative's music on his own. Type O helped me out alot in some tough shit, and is one of my biggest musical influences

4.) Patrice O'Neal

For obvious reasons, alot of people could guess why he'd make the list. He inspired me a ton with The Black Phillip Show and his stand up.
