Eh, I still live by the Golden Rule for the most part. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt until their behavior and words remove all doubt and thus the benefit. I try to give respect when I get respect, be square and generous with all, all of that. Part of the reason I became MGTOW was because I never could, in good conscience, be that dickhead disrespectful asshole that women want. That ain't the way I'm wired. I didn't want to be some inhuman totem or statue and behave like I have no emotions. I don't take any shit and I try to avoid dishing it out myself, though. I've got a mean streak like a motherfucker and my temper is pretty bad. It takes a lot to ignite the fuse but once it's started burning, it's like a fuckin' powder keg. When I do get angry, which is seldom, I great really fuckin' angry.
I try to remain rational yet still maintain a healthy sort of respect for people. I temper my optimism with rationality. I respect most women too but not the way I do men. I respect women the way you'd respect a coiled cobra. AKA I don't want to get fuckin' bit so I give 'em a wide berth and avoid unnecessary interactions with them. Sure, a man can fuck you up, but he can't usually ruin your life completely, at least not with the viciousness and speed exhibited by women. Most men in-general are pretty level headed. I've defused quite a few situations with a lot of men who were straight up pissed off with me, angry, irrational, ready to snap. Once you relate to them it's really not hard to defuse those kind of situations.
Do no harm but take no shit. Speak softly but carry a big stick. That's basically my philosophy.

Right on man. Sounds like a fine way to live. I'm still working on bringing more positivity into my life. Stoicism has been pretty damned helpful to me along with meditation.

Have to disagree. Love is the last thing you wanna attract, romantic ones or not.
Love always comes with expectation. You think your parents love you? Try to become a drug trafficker and see their reaction. They invest so much love in you that they expect you to behave in a certain way.
Same way goes for romantic love. It is no secret most men and women cannot differentiate between control and love. The husband who get shouted at by his wife every day for being home late or not eat enough of her cooked food think that is love, whereas a third party sees nothing more than a nasty bitch who cannot control her temper and expectation.
Ultimately, most modern world placed their happiness on others, which will prove to be their biggest down fall. Be yourself is good, but the end game is not to be treated better from others. That is blue-pill territory. The ultimate goal is freedom and peace.
I admire your positivity

Love is energy

The Red pill is about living the the matrix, not about a color. It’s about awakening so you don’t really need anything else. The other pills or no pill sound like the Power Rangers to me that’s a bit childish.
[–]NiceIce1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (9 children) | Copy Link
Great except for the last line: "The more love you will attract".
It will be the "plus-sized" (obese) mindless thots.
[–]Rayzond 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
I'm pretty sure it means love as in a feeling, not manifesting essentially as a woman that loves you, but as a background feeling that is always there.
[–]NiceIce1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
I'm just saying it sounds like an ancient curse, like, "May you live in interesting times". Sounds innocuous, but can have a much darker meaning.

Hey rainbow 'no pillers', riddle me this: What is the self? What is happiness? What is love and whats the mechanism that attracts love?
[–]crshdurmomlstngt2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
Look at DMT....15 minutes of soaring with a small chance of addiction.
[–]crshdurmomlstngt1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Frankly, I am not an expert on drugs, but smoking some high level, sativa heavy weed while being in that happy place with good music, might be as close to bliss as a guy could find.
I am out of that game for a while, but I have friends :)
[–]Ludakrit 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
There is no self. Happiness is a temporarily pleasurable state. Love is a chemical reaction in the brain composed of Phenylethylamine, Dopamine, and Norepinephrine.
[–]ColdStoryBro0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Happiness is a temporarily pleasurable state
Agreed. Chasing love in all likeliness leads to the opposite. Happiness and grief are as natural as the tides. It's better to deal with their existence than to drown or wash up.
[–]105HummelPorn-1 points0 points1 point 7 years ago (11 children) | Copy Link
The self is what you know to be true, despite internal and external denial.
Happiness is acceptance of these truths, and acting upon them.
Love and the mechanism that attracts it is finding someone who accepts the same truths you do.
[–]ColdStoryBro1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (10 children) | Copy Link
self is what you know to be true
What you know to be true changes based on new information you receive or based on conclusions you make from assembled pieces. The self is constantly changing so what holds a fixed self as it interacts with nature and what value can a fixed self have even if it could exist? What I know to be true isn't sufficient to understand my existence. A prison of my own knowledge will not discover new pastures.
Happiness is acceptance of these truths
Truth often hurts because it is uncomfortable. The human animal is not designed for truth, it is design to maximize survival. If happiness is acceptance of the same truth you have constructed earlier, it will easily fall apart when facing mistakes. Is happiness even necessary in the bigger picture?
Love and the mechanism that attracts it is finding someone
You thirst for a love needs another person to indulge you in the same thoughts that you are already drunk on. All while not properly even explaining why love should even be required.
-Sound like this Bjork pill seems to be a "I don't like thinking about the complexities of my environment so I'll just have a bumper sticker philosophy and delude myself into feeling like I've achieved"

I promise you it's the final realization
There are unknown unknowns. Which means life might reveal to you new things that will change your character. You have a thesis, it meets the antithesis, then forms synthesis. And the cycle continues. You cannot say "i've reached an end and there is nothing more to do."
Come on you know this is just watered down blend of hedonism and some unspecified form of love (probably storge and pragma). The pills are terms that signify understanding of our current reality. It is not sensible in some closed off commune where we don't see the same effects as a modern, technological, globalized and gynocentric world. These pills are independent of many philosophical schools of thought, though they have much intersection in common. So if you are creating a hypothetical world where you only exist with those that agree with you and you only interact with people like you, a no pill option will suffice.
[–]ColdStoryBro0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (5 children) | Copy Link
Love is inside you. Love is just a word, don't get caught up on the semantics.
I don't understand what you mean by that. You're telling me not to argue semantics but you've gotta see that you're being so vague that no one will understand you. Are you talking about erotic love? Are you talking about love for self development? The void gazed love back into you. The void was indifferent when i looked into it, uncaring for my gaze.
[–]ColdStoryBro0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Love can be felt in a chicken sandwich. Love can be felt in the breeze. Love can be felt in the silence of nothing in sheer gratitude for existence. Love can be felt as you're cumming inside your literal lover. Love can be felt as you push further than you've ever gone. Your life can be a nonstop orgy of love. My life is quickly becoming this and even though I have 3 partners I am alone the majority of the time and still feel this insane euphoric love throughout my day in the small and the large alike.
You're describing pleasure. Hence, hedonism. Don't worry its not a bad word - its an old philosophy. But i'm underlining that this has already been discussed many times even in this sub. You're not revealing anything new.
I have an answer for everything
Answers can be sensible or pure nonsense.
[–]ColdStoryBro1 point 7 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
I'm talking about the most intangible feeling in the world (Love)
If you can't describe what you're talking about, then don't open your mouth. Word definitions allow us to make logical classifications and conclusions. There's no point making nonsense threads. Ironically, you haven't read anything about hedonism if you think its extreme.

Can't believe how many guys here are being trolled and upvoted this. Maybe it's some prank from another board. Bjork is a feminist who recently got on the metoo bandwagon and Iceland had an anti toxic masculinity campaign that I think she supported a while back. Every straight male I've come across who listened to her was a beta soyboy with some pretentiousness to them, or strong shutin incel vibes
Upvoting Bjork in MGTOW is like upvoting Eminem on a feminist sub

MGTOW = no pill.

Interesting definition of Blackpill. It would be much more appealing to me if this definition was the case.
Instead it's just redpill + the realisation that some people are too ugly to become attractive. And memes.
[–]DarthSchadenfreude0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Its taken about 2 years or so, but I've managed to eliminate feeling most emotions, including love. That doesn't mean I'm completely passive. I am capable of reacting to threats in a cold-blooded fashion, like a praying mantis.
If you want to feel like love, just consume a large amount of chocolate.

Know your meme.
Expanding Brain, also known as Galaxy Brain, is a multi-panel exploitable image series comparing the brain size of a person relative to other variables. Though the expanding brain is usually implied to showcase intellectual superiority over various objects, it is more often used in an ironic sense to imply the opposite, where objects of derision are implied to be of higher standard than objects that are usually highly regarded.
You can play it straight, but most people reverse it because it's funnier that way.
