Cartoon from 1943 about reason vs emotion

There was actually psychological experiments- which of course today would never happen because they'd be considered barbaric- conducted after WW2 to try and make sense of why Germany which- for the time- was by far the most well educated country in Europe could descend into national socialism and it's vices- the camps, slave labor, war crimes, and so on.

Basically people were told they were conducting experiments to see the effects of electrical currents on learning and after being told what the dial did in terms of the strength of the electrical current- ranging from a mild tingle to potentially lethal dosages- were told that all they really needed to do was administer the correct dosage when told.

Strangely the statistical spread wasn't down the line with intellect. Very intelligent people were just as likely as back country yokels of administering lethal dosages (mind you- the people who were "hooked up" to the experiment and being electrocuted were just actors) provided they were told to do so. Ironically it was the people who most openly disagreed with authority figures- people who today would be branded as anti-social and anti-authority in schools before being hauled in front of a psychiatrist for evaluation and if they were a quack, medication- who were the least likely to administer lethal dosages when ordered to.

And that immediately should tell you one of the biggest reasons not to have kids in this day and age- we've put man on the moon, we can fit an entire library in a computer, we've unraveled the human genome, and we can land fully operational robots on Mars, but for some bizzare reason we've not really taken education out of an era where there was a genuine question as to the value of compulsory education, and the folks who devised the modern system were Prussians.

Which would be like putting Dworkin in charge of male prisons in the US.

People tend to dislike this sub because they either can't take the time to filter language this subreddit doesn't feel as necessary to filter into fluffy PC terms itself, and because they like their own little echo chambers where their views are never challenged, and only reinforced.

Does that happen here as well? Absolutely. I am sort of tempted to write a thread on the "phases" of Red Pill if I can find a way to not make it sound pretentious as all hell but one (or two) of the phases would be, "Mad at women" and "mad at world." People who are new to red pill, people who have had most of their advice regarding women, dating, the whole nine yards, sourced from TV, movies and old people who dated when condoms were still things only sailors wore and medication to control periods was new, and have only just now realized it was all nonsense. Understandably they're going to be mad. Anyone who just got told they'd spent the last X years with a bag on their head is understandably going to be. And every time I see someone chattering off about how all women are sluts, disloyal, whatever, I do kind of have to assume they're not terribly far into this whole "Red Pill" thing.

For one, sluts are common. There's plenty of male sluts too- we're just not talking about it terribly often because it's not really our wheel house. Second, Red Pill isn't just empty truths about how the world works- that's only going half way. The other half is the stuff you can't really write about- finding people who are right for you- both male and female- and learning to sort the poisons from the nectar. Learning to sort your legitimate friends from people who can only claim as much because they genuinely do not like the idea of upsetting someone. Red Pill will take the blinders off you, but what you do from there is entirely on you. If you want to take the "juggalo" route and become a caricature of what you see the world for, that's your call, but kind of like how we expect children to grow out of things, it is kind of an unspoken rule that in Red Pill you do eventually stop using it's methodology to spot women who would make easy pickings, and eventually either put you hand down on the table, or to just leave the casino.

This entire idea that Red Pill spends most of it's time talking about what it knows something about really does bother a lot of people because we won't stand there and tell people what they should make their final destination. Because that, that would be creating an ubermensch. We're not in the business of making ubermensch. The actual goal is MGTOW- and not the basement dwelling stereotype but rather men who do their own thing, and do not need to go out of their way to find women, or base their life around finding women, do not crave the attention and company of women, but should they (or just she) come into their, so much the better. Or at least that's my 2 cents. Red Pill isn't a race or a series of stations or a series of events. There's no sense of failure for only going half way, and at the end of the day you could do a lot worse than being 40, well off, fit, and spending every night with a different woman (or a a consistent woman) in your bed. This lack of rigid structure bothers a lot of people.
