Any pill that you come up with that truly focuses on self-development, discipline and self-fulfilment is better than the current set of pills. Blackpill makes sense for people who can handle philosophy, but I think it's dangerous in the hands of someone with nihilistic tendencies.

Blue pill starts off with some common but perfectly acceptable advice. Be the best version of yourself, get a degree, get a good job... etc. But then it falls flat on it's face.

Do A, B, C and X. Y. Z then, as a man, go out and prove your worth by attaining commitment from a human vagina owner and try to make her happy!

Golly, gee that sounds like a GREAT IDEA! (not).

Do the first part. Skip the second part. Really, at that is is MGTOW without a Red Pill rage phase.

But I like you idea of ranking pursuits in terms of how it either helps or hinders your goals and main directives. That's a very disciplined mindset.

I'd expand it beyond just dating. Life is an adventure, and a video game, and you play it however you want. There's no autosave, but if you die, you just start over if you want.

If you approach life as a game/choose-your-won-adventure, much of the stress goes away, because you become extremely laid back. Nothing matters in the end. In 100 years both you and I will be dead, and nothing we did will matter in any way. Give up stupid ideologies and dogma shoved in your head by others. Listening to other people is pretty much on par with discussing the stock market with a dog.

My philosophy is just have fun, have friends if you're into that, become an expert at something, or not, be a womanizer, party into your 90s, scrimp and save every penny, whatever. In the end you're worm food or some smoke from the crematorium.

Nothing matters, and I mean this sincerely as someone who has managed to die a few times medically. Follow whatever philosophy you want, in the end you're still you.

I will say one thing though, when you're young, every decision has a wide ranging effect that can go literally anywhere like a cone beaming from your hands, but the older you get, the narrower that outcome is, it goes from a cone of light to a narrow laser point at the end.

All because it is the totality of every decision you made.

Personally, I went with a life of travel and adventure. But that's me. Some would rather never leave their home town, marry, and have 12 kids. The adventure and the journey is more enjoyable than the destination, but then I'm weird that way.

Some would prefer to overdose on heroin at 25.

I'd recommend doing things that make you happy, because as that wide spectrum cone shrinks to that little dot at the end, where decisions have minimal impact to right the ship, you have your happiness to fall back on if you made that a priority and gave yourself options. Don't invest too much in an ideology. It doesn't matter that much anyway.

However you decide to live your life, live it well.

Enjoy your 20's, but be sure to cultivate a profession
Be cool, get into a little trouble a. Don't drink and drive, that shit can ruin your life b. Be smart about drug use, don't just drop whatever the fuck into your nostrils and don't leave that shit lying around in your car
Don't marry the first person who showed you their pussy - it's just pussy
For God's sake don't get a woman pregnant until you're married and reasonably certain that she's the one

Teen boys take enough pills these days. They don't need more.

Edit: They need strong positive role-models, not pills.

Mimoxs · 2020-07-31T04:09:52+00:00

You say this like society is fully honest to teen girls?

The world lies to kids. You grow up and get smacked in the face with reality and deal with it. It's not any more special or worse bc you're male.

Honestly reading shit like this and realizing that this is the extent of male complaints really makes me wish I could be a guy sometimes.

lilastr · 2020-07-31T04:21:09+00:00

Kudos to you for not polluting your mind as a teen boy with TRP. I’d go crazy if my brother started reading TRP or my sister got into FDS at such age.

Also kudos for not deluding yourself too. And I respect that you take JP seriously. This might work.

GhostTheEternal · 2020-07-31T04:01:24+00:00

You're misunderstanding what the pills are.

Blue pill is a lack of special insight. It's believing that the traditional/mainstream view of society is the correct one and that red pill is wrong.

Red pill is an explanation of the sexual market place, and points out how the mechanisms work and how they can be manipulated. It's not an ideology or a game. It's not there to give you a path through life or to tell you which teachers to follow, it's an understanding of sexual dynamics and you can do what you want with that knowledge. Many male red pillers have found that the knowledge makes them successful with women, so the community talks about how to further that success a lot, but the red pill is fundamentally about understanding the marketplace itself.

Hijacking the pill metaphor to enact a cult-like brainwashing of impressionable and directionless kids is not what this place is about.

tonysoprano6 · 2020-07-31T03:42:31+00:00

so the red pill with "fusion points" ?

xFallacyx69 · 2020-07-31T04:00:21+00:00

Glad you didn’t go full red pill. It’s better to know about it and understand women... just don’t practice it. You’re giving too much attention to terrible women with issues if you do.

SaBahRub · 2020-07-31T04:30:50+00:00

It would be irresponsible as a society to teach nihilism and sociopathy to children. If fathers or other male figures want to teach such a philosophy, they should do it privately and not with tax money, and be legally responsible for it

lemme_tell_you · 2020-07-31T04:56:34+00:00

This is just the redpill but injected with morals. The redpill with extra steps. You couldnt swallow the pill so you dillute it.

yeezywusgood · 2020-07-31T06:04:58+00:00

How about just take no pill? You're young, you got your whole life ahead of you. The red pill is useful in that it gives you a picture of reality with women and the dating scene unfiltered. But people go full retard on it and it evolves into something else.

Prismatic_Symphony · 2020-07-31T06:07:43+00:00

You're young, so there's still much to learn. Be very, very careful regarding Jordan Peterson. In fact, I'd say don't look at him as he interprets various philosophers. Read the philosophers directly, so you can male up your mind about what they say. Talk to older people of different backgrounds to see what lessons you can learn from them. Poor people, rich people. Black, white, etc. Ask not just what they learned about women in their relationships, but also what they learned about themselves.

nemma88 · 2020-07-31T08:53:43+00:00

Another word for it is bubble wrap.

A pill for 'goals' is to vague to really mean anything. How would it cater for all the possible goals?

IMO, we need to teach people to learn and grow from mistakes rather than try and wrap people up to avoid them at all costs - because life isn't a statistical certainty and you can be pouring your whole life into these pills and still fail, still be unfulfilled and still end up in a position you never wanted. All you have at the end is the question why because at least if you never took a pill then you never spent half your life living just to avoid something that happens anyway.

Inability to deal with disappointment or move on from something you don't like seems real issue on the net right now - and the pills are an extension of this. So something bad happened and your future melted - its something that happens to everyone, its how we deal with it that creates who we are.

The only thing that matters is if you are happy.

Purple pill: am I a joke to you?

flamingoinghome · 2020-07-31T10:00:10+00:00

You're 17. You're not "surrounded by women chasing money"; you have no money.

And why exactly are you acting like purchasing pornography is some kind of secret scheme? No one is hiding the fact that you're spending money to see someone do sex stuff. Don't teenage boys also know there's plenty of dirty material out there for free?

Yes, it's fine to live your life with these beliefs. However if you want a fusion pill, or whatever, I guess it's wishful thinking. Though I agree with you.

Just learn from all these sources you've listed. Do what makes sense to you. There isn't a teen pill because teens don't learn (successfully) from teens, they learn from adults. Adults have gone through all the trouble so you can learn from them, and you have the internet now, with more info than you can handle. Wish I had that as a teen, because I was taught absolutely nothing. Learned everything the hard way.
