TL:DR Learn how to use placebo to your advantage.

Placebo

A man understands reality and knows not to lie to himself, however, as RedPill men we must know how to use anything to our advantage.

TheJohnDough what the fuck are you trying to tell me?

What I am saying is that placebo can be used to your advantage if it is used as a mean to end. So again, what the fuck does that mean?

Let me give you an example:

Example 1 of the Right Way to Use Placebo

John decided to start lifting and decides he wants an extra boost. John buys a new pre-workout to help him push through his workouts. Although the pre-workout does NOT do all the things it claims to do, John sees the numbers on his lifts go up and feels energized throughout his workout.

Now you may be thinking: John just fucking played himself...

NO MOTHERFUCKER John used something that is not real and achieved the results he wanted. John was actually able to lift more weight, therefore stimulating more muscle growth. It doesn't matter if the supplement he is taking worked or not because he is getting REAL results.

The Flipside

Now you know placebo can be magical, but you must remember to be very careful and use it sparingly. When placebo is used as the end to the mean it is absolutely destructive.

Here is another example:

Example of Placebo Being Used the WRONG Way

Dan has a naturally smelly body odor. Dan decides to buy a new soap that claims to kill bacteria and make you smell amazing. But again THIS PRODUCT DOES NOT DO WHAT IT ADVERTISES Dan uses the soap and convinces himself that he smells great, although the soap didn't do anything at all. He walks around, everyone knows he smells horrible and tend to stay away from him.

GUESS WHAT?

Dan is a fucking dumbass and smells like shit. It does not matter how much he convinces himself that the soap is making him smell better.

Dan used something fake to get fake results. Dan DID NOT understand how to use Placebo to his advantage and actually played himself.

Know how to use placebo to your advantage. However, use it the wrong way and it WILL be your downfall.

Don't smell like shit, be like John.

edit: This can be applied to many other things in life, feel free to add other examples of how to use this. If you disagree discuss it.
