With a prominent member of the manosphere not only moving away from but now shunning his former life, discussion on what the true end game of red pill start to surface. This is a good thing, it's always important to know not only where you are heading but why you are heading there.

In these discussions so far there have been 4 hypothetical pills laid out which represent a pretty good summery of the paths different men generally take:

Blue pill: Ignorance, denial of nature

Red pill: Truth through materialism (muscles, women, money, status)

Black pill: Acceptance of one's powerlessness, withdrawal from materialist society

God pill: Submission to God's will

The first thing you must realize is no matter what pill you chose it is nothing more than a tool set. No pill will give you all the answer you ever needed in life but they will provide a tool set in which you can pull from and build experience.

The second thing that is the core of all of it, you can not reach blue pill ends with any tool set at all because it does not exist

People come into the red pill and expect hand holding. They want someone to tell them the perfect formula to live their life by which is the complete opposite of TRP and when this fails they blame the pill itself that they never really took. They are still trying to reach their same flawed goals but simply trying to use a new tool set to achieve it.

Look no further than right in ASKTRP to observe this dynamic in it's fullest. 99.9% of questions can be summed up as "There's this one girl" and either:

A) This girl is my one-itis and I need to know how to get her

B) I already have this one girl and need to know how to keep her

They are trying to use the red pill tool set to fulfill their fantasies and then turn away from it when it doesn't work instead of doing the true internal work and fixing themselves. They're looking for a pick up artist magic bullet instead of a lifestyle overhaul.

The red pill will not help you create your perfect Disney fantasy land. The answer to most questions is to NEXT the girl in question but they believe by the magic of the red pill they can have any woman they desire or keep any woman they have and didn't bother to read the fine print.

Lifting, agree and amplify, dread, spinning plates, etc. are all just the tools but you need to use them to build out your own life. No man can tell you what that is, you are given the tools and then it's your responsibility to use them appropriately.

Sex and women alone will never fulfill you. You must have a goal. You must have a purpose.

Emotional detachment is one of the hallmarks of an alpha. Alpha itself is a mindset. If there is one thing I really admire about a fellow man, it is never his woman, his wealth, or anything else. It is his sense of emotional detachment to all these pleasures. Game is a great way to achieve this state of channelizing of the search of emotional fulfillment in life to other factors apart from women, while retaining physical fulfillment through sex with women. What could be these other factors which provide emotional fulfillment?

It could be a hobby, a life mission, a red pill tribe, spirituality, or a development of a skill or talent within you that provides inner fulfillment instead. I’d rather suggest looking internally than externally, for I believe every man on this planet has a talent or is gifted in some way or the other, but most of the time men themselves discover or develop their hidden talents. Instead, they seek external emotional fulfillment through interaction with women or relationships, while letting their personal gifts go to waste.

In short, the trick is to develop detachment to emotional fulfillment from sex, while instead seeking it through these internal factors that are in your own hands. No woman can hurt a man with options, so do you think a woman has even a minute chance to hurt a man who is emotionally detached?

The caveat of this is not to push emotional detachment to such a level so as to lose complete interest in women and become an ascetic. Aim for moderation to achieve liberation from emotional fulfillment through women. Sex is necessary, for if it weren’t, nature would not have itself designed male and female bodies with reproductive organs to begin with.

TRP is a sexual strategy. It also has elements that teach you how to enhance your life. It is not a fantasy builder where you get your white picket fence, a wife, 3 kids and a puppy. Using it for this purpose is on you, not the pill itself which clearly warns about this.

Even when men achieve these blue pill goal-states, the ones they’re conditioned to believe they should want for themselves, they find themselves discontent with those states and trapped by the liabilities of them.

It's fine to work towards having women, you are a man. It's in our nature. It's what we are supposed to do. If you don't build a solid foundation of a life, if you make pussy your ruler however you will still find a miserable way. Look at the Pick Up Artist community itself for examples of this. You have a guy like Mystery who has dedicated the better part of his entire life to Pick Up and yet he is pretty openly miserable. You must question your goals and what it is you truly want out of life and no man can answer that for you. That's a journey you must take alone and truly answer for yourself.

In conclusion though it might be tempting to blame the red pill when you fail to reach your happiness through it you must often times take a hard look at yourself and how you're using the tools and how you are building your life. Life is hard. It doesn't get any easier. Sometimes you'll slip into that black pill void and that's okay. It's okay to turn to the God pill as well if you feel like that's where your answers will be. They all can coexist because at the end of the day every pill is just a tool set for you to better build your life towards. The red pill gives you the truths as it has laid out for itself. It's up to you to confirm or deny those truths on your own. It's up to you to decide how you choose to use those truths.
