All of us have had ideas artificially programmed into our psyche, some of them positive like the instilling of an effective work ethic or the teachings of rationalism and being objective in the situations we find ourselves in. Other ideas are negative and incredibly harmful, like the dependence on pussy or taking advantage of man’s ability for self sacrifice. Many men find themselves immersed in the MGTOW community because it presents a whole new world waiting to be discovered. It makes each man a pioneer of his own life, gives him the tools to explore his uncharted territories and find what has been hidden from him.

Understanding the sexual dynamic is just the first red pill, but we can go farther than that. If we were blind to such an obvious and natural set of rules, what else were we blind to? “Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.” Strip away everything that society, your friends and your family have programmed into you to get to your true self.

Let’s first examine the idea of companionship. There are many men in the community who are perfectly happy with the company of themselves, but there are a great deal who struggle with loneliness and have a need for companionship. If this is you, examine what your idea of companionship is. If you understand the sexual marketplace, then you would know that you aren’t being loved for who you are, but instead for what you provide. This provision could be monetary, like the infamous beta bux vs alpha fucks dynamic shows. It could also be based on status, based on your career, your renown or your looks. You are just a collection of statistics in the eyes of women. At first you will experience the red pill rage when this idea clashes with the romanticism you’ve been force fed your whole life, but don’t be angry. Mother Nature is a bitch and she gives us tough love, but it’s just a reproductive strategy. You have to detach your ego from the equation and not take it personally, it’s just nature. If I was a woman, I’m sure I would be operating under the same rules, constantly throwing out shit tests and looking for the best mate and being just an all around bitch. I count my blessings every day that I’m not a woman.

A man’s goals is projected on to him by his surroundings. It’s up to you to overcome both your biological urges and societal pressures to chase pussy, wasting your energy, time and money in the process. Going MGTOW doesn’t necessarily mean going celibate, but women shouldn’t be in your top priorities. If you can overcome that great biological urge, literally anything is possible. You will have transcended from a simple animal following its nature to something else entirely, in complete control and a master of your own nature. Once you overcome that urge to chase, you’ll watch in amusement as you see the entire world around you operate on that simple premise. Then, you’ll be awestruck when you realize how much more there is to do, how much more there is to think about, all of the territory that is relatively unexplored because everyone else’s focus is on jumping through those hoops to get access to the holy vagina. With this great power comes great responsibility. Don’t shame the men still chasing, it requires a perfect mix of self awareness and bad experiences to overcome that instinct. All we can hope for is that they can find peace before making the serious mistakes we have seen time and time again.

Another concept that has been distorted in modern times is the idea of friendship. Women conflate masculine brotherhood with homosexuality, and this has entered into the gynocentric mainstream consciousness. A true bond you make with a man, which is incredibly rare nowadays, will last longer than any bond you could make with a woman. That’s why they hate the idea of it so much, because women go through friends like a red pilled man goes through thots. Real friendship is a true diamond in the rough, but thanks to technology your options are greater than ever. One of my two childhood friends lives a few minutes away from me, but we hang out in person less than you would think. Instead, we hang out on Discord and basically do everything we would have done in person over the internet. Anything that can’t be done we meet up for, but you can have awesome friendships digitally now. Reimagine what friendship means to you, not what is portrayed to you. Instead of spending a bunch of money and organizing the logistics of everything, I can make my own drinks, upload a movie to Google drive with a dummy account and share it, watch Youtube videos and just chill out and play video games. The beauty is that I can do this with people I never would have otherwise, like a dude I met who’s in Australia. It’s hilarious to hear women and white knights shame this new form of camaraderie when you look at what their idea of friendship is. Next time you find yourself in a bar or a club, make an effort to look at what the groups of women and the groups of men are doing. I’ve done this the last several times and the groups of women are almost entirely on their phones, isolated from each other and living in their digital personas. The groups of men aren’t enjoying each other’s company, instead glancing at the women every few seconds and obviously uncomfortable to be around their so called friends. The only men who seemed to be having a good time were those huddled together in the corners of the bars, away from distractions and free to have a good time. Shaming is a sign of insecurity, so as a general rule of thumb you should investigate whatever women and white knights are shaming because it might be worthwhile. No amount of shaming can restructure the social order, but it can prevent men from connecting with each other out of fear of social stigma.

The next idea that is widely programmed into people and has drastic consequences on their lives is the idea of wealth. Once you’re fully MGTOW, you are an independent man and can do whatever the fuck you want with your own money, but let’s first look at what wealth really is. I’m sure all of you can relate when I say that MGTOW knowledge is priceless. Richer men than you or I would have paid millions of dollars to learn about MGTOW before they lost their lives in a soul-sucking career and their money in a joyless marriage or a hateful divorce. With this example, intangible things like MGTOW knowledge can have more value than the fastest cars, the biggest houses or the hottest women. It then makes sense to diversify your portfolio by pursuing different types of wealth. Give me a good computer, a comfortable bed, a decent car and a stable internet connection and I’m perfectly content with that physical wealth, able to pursue the more important and longer lasting forms of wealth found in knowledge and wisdom. The beautiful thing about MGTOW is that you can still have those fancy toys because you’ll be saving so much money compared to your less fortunate peers who are being drained by a wife and kids, but you don’t have to chase those things unless you’ve stripped away society’s idea of wealth and found that you still want that item. Just remember this golden rule: if it floats, flies, or fucks, rent it.

The standard for what constitutes as valuable knowledge has fallen so far that it’s a miracle the cities aren’t on fire. If learning about Leonardo Dicaprio’s newest girlfriend is more relevant to your life than reading a book that could change how you approach the world, you need to get off Youtube and go to your nearest library and treat your brain to a day out. If the majority of people only read fake news and celerbity gossip, while also being afraid to explore controversial and challenging ideas, they really are empty vessels floating through life, consuming and fucking until they die. Their standard of knowledge is nonexistant, and are perfectly content existing in a state of limbo for the rest of their lives. If you rely on the general consensus for what to dedicate your mind to, you will be a husk of a man who never got close to reaching his true potential. Take a critical look at your diet of information. Just like your body, you must feed your brain with a healthy, balanced diet of information to cultivate a sharp and reasoned mind. Too much analytical information and you risk losing touch with your sense of humor and fun, too much mindless information and you risk stagnating. Try to learn a new thing every day, or at least put yourself in situations to learn things by going outside of your comfort zone and reading what you don’t normally read or listening to ideas you don’t normally listen to.

The values of our modern societies have been turned upside down. At the risk of sounding too preachy, I’m not going to talk about the over-sexualization or promotion of degeneracy. Instead, look at how flimsy all those traditional values were that we’ve lost in the last hundred years. If people can so easily throw them away, did they ever really believe in them to begin with? To live by a code, to have standards and to judge everything against those standards takes a dedication that most people lack. Anything that takes a modicum of effort cannot endure when its endurance depends on the lowest common denominator. All of the values and norms that have been instilled into you came from hypocrites who don’t follow their own rules, or don’t have any at all. If your goal is to slay as much pussy as possible, then you have to abandon some values. If your goal is to make as much money as possible, you have to abandon some values. If you want to live a simple, honest life, you can keep your values intact. When you allow other people or outside forces put you in positions you don’t want to be in, your values will suffer, just as all the men who committed atrocities against their fellow man in the history of warfare.
