I've encountered a number of Red Pillers but they all lacked compelling arguments. I never really bought into the ideology. But, in the past couple days, I've come across a guy who calls himself "the rational male." The self aggrandizing name made me wary, but I started reading some of his stuff anyways.
For the first time, I'm starting to believe in red pill philosophy. I've never bought into the Race IQ stuff some red pill thinkers espouse-I think that stuff is garbage- but the gender stuff makes sense to me. At least, partly. The article that drew me in was about women's solipsistic mindset and I have seen real life examples of what he's talking about, women talking about their own experiences instead of using objective data. I can't say women don't use objective data or men don't draw on personal experiences in debates and arguments. It just seems like he might be on to something.
I know everybody who bought into the red pill and now regrets it probably felt that way at some point. And I know I'm the target audience for this sort of stuff-22, male, lonely. I couldn't find any debates on his website, which makes me a bit uneasy, but I can relate much of what he said to my own experiences. I constantly think about the nature of reality and what is and isn't real.
On one hand, I don't know why the mind of a red-piller would be more infallible and more rational than the mind of anybody else. Why hurt, pain, and rejection (which I understand often pushes people towards the red pill) would give somebody better insight into how the world actually is. On the other, I can't help but wonder if they're right. I'm just feeling very stuck and part of me is worried that I'm getting sucked into something very dark, and that beliefs I think are abhorrent now are beliefs I will start espousing in the future, and whether this will destroy my life but part of me also wonders if TRP has answers to questions I've asked myself before.
Thoughts?
