Question on conscious ignorance

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.

Ok so someone has to say it: Yes, Trump will literally affect my life. He's affecting all of our lives right now as we speak lol

But seriously, I kind of agree with you man. I think the trick to living a good life is about mastering the art of not giving a fuck.

I live my life by a rather simple, yet hard to fully grasp concept.

Who is to know what is good or bad?

That's it. But understanding it takes time.

There is no such thing as good or bad, merely choices that lead to outcomes. Those outcomes can come in 4 varieties.

Temporary Positive

Temporary Negative

Eventual Positive

Eventual Negative.

And there is NO way of knowing which destination your choice will take you. What you consider to be the best thing to ever happen today, could kill you tonight. What you consider to be the worst thing that could ever happen, could end up leading to a cure for cancer.

There is no way to know, so you shouldn't stress over your decisions. Simply make the best choice in the moment to lead towards positive outcomes and if the outcome isn't positive, trust that at some point it will be.

No point in raging at the redlight that holds you forever, as it just might save you from being t-boned and crushed by a diesel at the next intersection is the most basic form but like I said, truly living by this mindset takes effort and time.

I get you, dude. The "Men Getting Triggered Over Women" aspect of "Redpill rage" is really hard to shake off at first. It progresses gradually, instead of a rapturous moment after which life is sunny and happy. Life is laborious, stays laborious, and MGTOW often focuses on getting the most of your labor.

I definitely agree that MGTOW doesn't stop at "questioning relationships". Given the billions of commerce tied up in divorce-culture, the billions of commerce tied up in industrialized feminism, the trillions of commerce tied up in male disposability... We're damned right to question EVERYTHING about our lives. Always remember that there is a profit motive behind any commercial product, and all media is a commercial product.

Also, Biden has dementia, so he'll just continue to rubber-stamp whatever the feminists put in front of him. He's based his entire career on it. Therefore, Trump.
