Completely Unamused with Amused Mastery

So I was at the park yesterday, and this 4 year old called me a big poopy face. I was very unamused, a little agitated, and complete irritated that this little girls said that. It's clear that I'm tanned, and there is no poop on my face, let alone on the rest of me.

I agree, no way this 4 year old was even slightly amusing with her crap. So when you find a solution on how to get through this, please pass it onto me as well.

I think this is more appropriate for askTRP, but here you are. Since you likened your question to Risk, I'll use a board game analogy(I'm just too lazy to apply this to Risk and it's complicated rules).

Have you ever played a card game, or a board game with a young child? If not, I'll tell you how it goes.

Let's say you're playing chess. And you're playing against against a 5 year old. You know the rules, you know the game, and you can kick this kid's ass if you want. And you play according to the rules. Then out of nowhere, this kid takes the Queen, jumps to the other side of the board knocks a ton of your pieces off, and declares, "I win".

And the kid wins. It's undeniable. Debate is futile. Are you going to get agitated? You aren't going to argue with a 5 year old, are you? You just need to laugh(amused) at the absurdity of the situation. You know you're the better Chess player but you need to let it go because you're the master in the scenario not the child.

Life(career, pussy politics, courtship, relationships, women, men etc..) is like this scenario. You can let an absurd scenario play out and get angry and frustrated. Or you can recognize the scenario for what it is, laugh at it, and use it to your advantage. Women are the "Child" playing a game of Chess. If you play their game, their way, they're going to win 100% of the time.

You just have to come to terms with the idea that it's not that big of a deal. The "realness" is your frame. When things don't feel real it's because you are residing in a frame not your own. Take care of yourself, make your money(if thats important), foster a culture of self improvement, and don't take children to seriously, because they don't give a fuck.

Best I can do for you. Cheers, read the sidebar if you haven't.

By not taking things nearly as seriously as you do now.

Be amused that there is no point! It's not a game, it's a joke.

I've been traveling cross-ocean on my own for the last six months and often catch myself thinking in this negative nihilistic mindset when I'm out alone hiking for the day. Realizing that everything I've done in my life won't matter to anyone else, can sometimes get the better of you.

However, lately another thought has been popping up in my head everytime i seem to drop into this negative mindset. Just because it not making a single bit of difference in the end in the world, doesn't mean it has no meaning to yourself. It not having an impact on the world allows me to give only the things I care about my full attention, which results in me being a happy motherfcker.

Also, Youtube-channel Kurtzgesacht (In A Nutshell) uploaded a video about positive nihilism if you want to know more.

How can one be amused in this situation when at the end of the day it's just all bullshit?

Were you passive?

If you were to passively watch as things flowed along and didn't attempt to bend the flow then you aren't really in the Game but are just watching.

That would be the introvert's freeze.

You must ask.... "How might I Game this situation?"

If you have Gamed many times before you already have that Rubik's Cube™ kind of mind that is in realtime dreaming up all kinds of things you might do.

Each action you observe will spawn multiple possible options.

You then either act out one option and play your "Trick" in the "Game" or if you aren't in the Game yet you think out ideas.

Amused Mastery is a sort of "brainstorming" of ideas.

What could I do?

How might I bend the outcome to my benefit?

What manipulation might work?

Could I deceive this person?

...all these thoughts run through your head.

Game is fun and Amused Mastery is in the creative mind.

We're all just random rotting meatsacks bumping into other random rotting meatsacks on a tiny planet with an unimpressive sun in a tiny galaxy ridiculously far from the center. Nothing really matters.

That's why all of the bullshit is so funny.

When I was a kid i'd often think of the world from this perspective. If I can see any place on earth through videos or pictures, what is the sense in actually travelling to any of these places?

The benefit of travelling only comes to those who actually travel, not those who theorize what travelling would be like.

You're hyper intellectualizing a facet of communication. In other words, instead of going through your life, experiencing communication, failing or wondering what you could do better, then seeking to improve, you've simply educated yourself on a topic you've never explored at any depth.

So, go out and communicate. Without taking action, learning how to make better actions is mental masturbation. Don't worry, many of us here at TRP are guilty of this.

It feels like I'm supposed to pretend that I don't see this poor excuse of a ruse. It seems more like an insult to intelligence to me.

If you mean shit tests... it's a ruse that catches most men out. The challenge is to not get butt hurt about it, not get insulted or ego hurt about it As such, you FAILED this test. She's looking to weed out egotistical and easily butt hurt men, ie you, sorry to say.

You think you're better than her because you see the game... but you're still playing it. You CARE. You stop having fun because she throws you a dumb little test.

Imagine you meet a hot girl, tell her she's a bit chubby, and she bursts into tears saying "how dare he say that, it's obvious I'm a hot girl, why did he say that to ME???" She looks pretty stupid huh? Even though she saw through your game, she still emotionally reacted.

It's like being forced to play a long, seemingly never ending game Risk when you rather just get to the point and get on with it.

Yes. It's a game designed to weed out the weak from the strong. Just accept that it's what they do. Don't expect to rise about it, try to WIN. And that means having fun with it.

How can one be amused in this situation when at the end of the day it's just all bullshit?

It's not bullshit. It's how weak women select strong partners. And it's extremely easily subverted for your own benefit - learn to do so.

It's mind over matter: don't mind it 'cause it doesn't matter. Amused mastery reminds me of the Comedian from Watchmen, but without the grim psychopathy.

It depends on how serious the girl is trying to be. Laughing off an AWALT eruption can sometimes infuriate them even more.

mushroom_overlord · 2017-07-31T20:11:01+00:00

You want to win the game, play the game the best way you know how. If you want to win Risk you can't just throw the pieces around and say you hate the fakeness. It's the way it is, you can make new strategies but Mastery of the proven strategies gets you places.

The Amused part is actually unnecessary to Mastering... BUT it's an attitude that helps interpersonal relations more than being pissed off all the time.

If you hate the game nobody is forcing you to play it. If you want realness you are going to get it, it's a game of masks. Buy into the Blue Pill, go MGTOW, it's your life. You just can't have your cake and eat it too by expecting lesser strategies to be able to win.

Deep_freeze202 · 2017-07-31T23:51:12+00:00

Well you realize that's it's all bullshit which means you can see past it, this gives you a distinct advantage of being able to direct things the way you want them to go because you understand the game while most of the rest of the population don't even know there's a game being played. Use it to your advantage and amusement, that's why it's called amused mastery.

mytrpname · 2017-07-31T21:08:13+00:00

The amused part comes after mastery.

When you've learned the game well enough to see all the moves and to dominate all actors, you can observe their petty plays and just laugh as you counter with trivial loss on your behalf.

LTR just fucked another man? Jokes on her as I'm the prize and I have a line of vaginas waiting. Next in line.

Ketogainsmongoose · 2017-08-01T05:20:12+00:00

Realize that you're going to be dead in about 60 years. Nothing you will do or say will change that fact.

So you have a free pass to do whatever the hell you want until that time comes. All of the sudden you don't take life seriously anymore, while also having this sense of adventure.

Don't squander it
