I ended up interviewing Rollo Tomassi, despite not being very familiar with his work. I never read any of his books, so this 'pill' debate stuff goes a little over my head.

I was wondering what questions you guys would like to ask Rollo Tomassi. I may have another opportunity to put the questions to him tonight.

I know that 'red pill' and 'blue pill' come as analogies based on the movie The Matrix. Is Rollo Tomassi the father figure of this kind of concept (AFTER The Matrix, of course) or does something else pre-date his work in relation to these ideas? (Again, other than The Matrix)

He describes the ‘red pill’ as a description and the ‘black pill’ as a prescription. He explains that the ‘red pill’ is all about ‘intersectional dynamics; understanding the evolutionary psychology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, sociology, psychology, politics and many other sub-fields’. In other words, 'a praxeology of intersectional dynamics, understanding men’s nature and women’s nature'.

​

I also asked Rollo about the 'black pill' stuff. He describes that people who follow the ‘black pill’ mentality are destructive and misunderstand what ‘being content’ means.

I personally believe that the 'black pill' thing is extremely damaging. I see a lot of guys trying to force that ideology on people, truly believing that the only way for a man to attract women is 'looks, bro, LOOKS!!!' and if you 'don't have looks', then 'it's over'. It always puzzled me, because that's hardly advice, hardly helpful and not even actionable. It's just defeatist, and scientifically incorrect. (According to Dr David Buss)

​

I wrote some basics about the 'red pill' according to Rollo Tomassi in a blog post, and how he feels about the 'black pill' too. Would you add or change anything?

How has it impacted your life?

Note for the admin. Excuse my 'low effort'. My wife has brain cancer and we have a young family, so I'm not exactly aiming to spend 2 hours writing up something I am still in the noob phase of learning.
