Has being red/blackpilled made your life better or worse?

Feels like its only made mine worse if i'm being honest. i see normies out everywhere who seem to be enjoying themselves, even though through my eyes they're both riddled with shortcomings. where's the good in that?

kinda wish i could go back to being a carefree 15 yr old just hanging out with the boys, waiting for a chance to smash my crush after we go pool hopping in the summer srs

Red pilled after I heard Juanita Broderick testify to congress and only the republicans let her talk.
Black pilled after it seems that Trump raped a bunch of kids.

Blackpilled, making me realize how important lifting/looking good will get you tremendously further in life
Redpilled to avoid the moronic globohomo plague fabricated on society

Overall I'd say better, you have the tools/knowledge in your shed on what aspects to put your time/attention to on giving you a better life

worse as now the immediate first thought is redpill.

The reality is that much of that won't make sense until you're in the position of the alpha and you're looking at the situation from the lenses that benefits you
Otherwise it's going to be an uphill battle

With that being said, you should focus on the benefits that come as you slowly increase your inner game, fitness, finances and social circle

i don't regret learning it but wish i learned it at a later age, even learning it at my current age would be fine. I learned it when I was 15 lmao, kind of experienced the matrix early on because I was an obese kid and experienced how fake people were after I lost weight. Learned about how fake love is at that age so I didn't experience the 'you'll never be 15 in love thing'.

that's just one aspect but also watched liveleak when i was young and knew how fuked the world was.

IDK, was looking into conspiracies 15 years ago that people called crazy...now it's basically mainstream.

Seems like the elite are getting ready to wipe out the masses, or are prepping bunkers to go hide from something they CAN'T stop. Conspiracy sites warned about a lot of stuff happening now way back when, but the speed seems to have hastened, like the elite know an asteroid is gonna wipe us out and there's no stopping it or something.

I'm goldpilled

High fibre healthy diet, meditation, positive social vibes, don't take my anger or negative emotion out on others

The blackpill is just a background understanding of evolutionary biology. A pretty basic one, too, I'm sure scientists know many more things

Better at this point in life, but I gradually learned most of these things throughout life, as opposed to all at one time as a young person on the internet.

Ignorance really is bliss for as long as you can hang on to it. I feel bad for young dudes who end up wasting time focusing on things that don't actually matter in the end.

I guess better. You only notice this stuff when something goes wrong you need to fight to avoid bad outcomes.

Plus, a lot of the damage of naΓ―ve oversights do not show up in the short term.

not really, scientists are some of the most bluepilled people alive. Most scientists study one specific part of one specific field and it consumes them. They don't reflect on things like this

It's not all true, you can poke holes in the pill theories all day.

The danger comes when unsociable young men with minimal reference experiences expose themselves to these ideas, and blindly accept them as facts.

A lot of real life is like sales, especially when dealing with women, and if this knowledge is making you a less effective salesman then you done goofed.
Never take it personal, even when it is.

Imagine yourself on your deathbed looking back at your life and the experiences you had and then imagine how few fukks you'd give about all the dumb sh*t that you have no control over.

Seriously, who cares about what percentage you fall into.

How much vagina have you explored? That's what brings real happiness.

It's helped me understand the context of how a lot of things play out, both in my personal life and on the larger geopolitical stage. And I'm grateful/happy for being redpilled - I know far, far too many bluepilled men whose lives get ruined simply for being bluepilled.


With that said - I seriously wish I could go back to being bluepilled when it came to athletes and sports teams. It's a weird dichotomy in my mind - I accept that nearly every actor & musician is liberal/globalist/kneeler, and yet I'm still able to enjoy their products by and large. But apparently at a lower-than-conscious level, I hold athletes to a different standard. Like I can no longer enjoy any pro-sports, team sports or olympic sports anymore, with the exception of MMA and boxing. I think it's because athleticism & sports is meant to be the antithesis of leftist ideology. It's meant to be a realm that rewards merit and effort. And yet there they are kneeling. And not only kneeling, but doing so while selectively ignoring the single biggest true social justice event of our lifetime, the ethnic cleansing by China with their use of concentration camps.

But will Lebron say anything about China? Nope - it'd be the last thing he'd ever do. Same with the pink haired soccer lady, the mental health gymnast, and all of the NFL teams.


I haven't had an interest in any sports (again other than UFC & some boxing) since the George Floyd protests, and I miss that blue-pilled interest so much. Oh well

Like any form of knowledge, it all depends on how you use it. For me, it's helped me come to terms with the fact that as a guy who isn't genetically blessed, I have to be exceptional to live the good life. As such, it helped motivate me to get me to where I am today, which I wouldn't have attained if I was like most losers who genuinely think a 5'7 dude without a god-like face/jawline making sub-6 figures has "someone out there waiting for them - everyone does".

That said, I generally don't take most things at face value and it's the same thing with red pill stuff. There's a lot of truths to it, but it isn't gospel either. It'd also be nice to sometimes not see the ****tiness of life/people and think everything is fixable by getting rid of white people/Donald Trump like most idiots these days genuinely believe I'm not even white, btw (literally the misc's 2nd least favorite race). Just hate reverse racism.
