A response to The Red Pill's theories regarding the ego that "does things for itself."

This reads like you have been sitting and stewing over that post for two months trying to come up with a response. I didn't like the post when it came out because I agree to an extent to what you have said. I didn't lose weight for women; I lost weight because I was tired of being me and I wanted to be someone else. I sure as hell haven't worked to be smart for women. Not a single woman on earth finds my GPA sexy or attractive. My ACT score occasionally makes woman feel bad about themselves and it's only moderately high. I do want to be a caricature though; I want to be so successful that people find my stories hard to believe. Jay Gatsby, Hank Moody, Christian Troy... Those are the kind of men I aspire to. I see their success and I want it for myself. I don't care if it's seen as an unreachable goal, goals promote progress. I may not get there but I can get close.

Putting aside the machismo, genderized aspects of the rant for now, the thesis of the post is that since the endeavors of all men ultimately revolve around obtaining sex, we should accomplish any and all actions that enhance our ability to be externally validated, where this external validation is realized through sex.

I couldn't proceed past the first part - the idea that all the endeavors of men ultimately revolve around obtaining sex. What about suicide? Or masturbating? Is the ultimate purpose behind art to get the artist laid? Come on.

I don't know why more work needs to be done on this subject than that.
