One of the most vexing things a lot of Red Pill aware men encounter when they interact with women today is the expectation that women are coequally as rational agents as men. We were taught from the earliest ages by our blank-slate equalist teachers that boys and girls are all the same, having coequal potential for coequal successes in life (as they define them), then primarily focusing on the ‘correct’, female way of educating both sexes. This education isn’t limited to just the classroom; the Village uses many ways (media, pop culture, religion, etc.) to deliver what is fundamentally the same message – boys and girls, men and women, are essentially, effectively, the same with respect to their potentials. Now, that’s the message not the practice. Even when they are forced to recognize definitive differences they simply dismiss them by saying “We’re more alike than different” in the presumption that this should be enough to refocus and reinforce their blank-slate belief set.
So when men and women consider differences in gender, differences in double standards, inequalities in gender-specific issues and pretty much any empirical debate about these and other differences, men presume that the women they are ‘debating’ with are also looking for earnest, equitable answers beginning from the same coequal state of mutual interest. This is almost never the case.
The pretense that’s been embedded into men from the earliest years of their Blue Pill conditioning is since men and women are coequal agents they should both be interested in finding an objective truth together. But the frustration in this ‘debate’ comes from the simple fact that our differences are actually much more significant than the dismissals of equalists would want them to be. The roots of this deliberate misunderstanding are twofold: First, the innate solipsistic self-interest of women, and second, women’s predisposition to interpret information using the Emotional (versus Rational) interpretive processes.
When men and women debate intersexual issues of contention men opt for their innately preferred Rational interpretive process; we look for factual evidence to support a premise. Women opt for the Emotional process and then consider evidence. This difference in processing is where a lot of personal and ideological obstacles come into play between men and women. Our educational priorities of both men and women prioritizes the importance of emotion and its expression before a consideration of the Rational process. We teach boys/men to sublimate their natural proclivity towards reason by replacing it with the Emotional process. Thus, we’ve seen the push to encourage men to get in touch with their feelings or their feminine sides since the late 60s.
As I mentioned last week, women prioritize context (how a conversation makes them feel) in communication while men prioritize content (the information of the conversation); these differences are part of our biological/neurological evolved inheritances. This is where the misunderstanding starts between the sexes; however, calling this a ‘misunderstanding’ is a bit of a misnomer.
I’m sure a lot of readers think this is a longwinded way of saying women’s emotions blind them to the facts that men present to them when they debate. While this is true in a sense, this is shortsighted because, in the interests of simplifying things, most guys will just blow off the dynamics that build up this (often deliberate) miscommunication. Women don’t like the way a Rational-prioritized conversation makes them feel. Often the reality is unflattering to their solipsistically defined egos – but the communication feels wrong because women’s presumption is that men should just know to acknowledge their feelings in that debate (all communication really). On the female side the presumption is that men and women, being blank-slate equals, already know to prioritize the Emotional process, while on the male side men presume women will prioritize the Rational process because, again, we’re all the same, right?
This presuming that one sex sees the same way as the other is endemic in our time. I had a reader pose me with a similar example:
I had a conversation with my LTR at dinner tonight where I did a thought exercise with her. I asked her to imagine what it would be like if people visually saw different colors when they looked at various objects but had consistent names for those colors in their own minds. For example, person A sees what person B calls Blue, but it looks like what would be called green if person A could peer into person B’s mind. The point was we can’t know what colors actually look like from an individual subjective perspective. Although I tried several times to walk through this, she couldn’t comprehend what I was trying to explain. I then realized that this exercise involved imagining a first person conscious experience from multiple perspectives. This test could be a proxy test for (women’s) solipsism.
This thought experiment is a good way to illustrate solipsism in women, but it’s an even better example of the default presumptions men and women have of each other in other areas. As it stands today, in our feminine-primary social order, the Blue Pill conditions us to default to cognitive models that are defined by the female experience. Thus, whatever best satisfies a female-primary purpose is always considered the correct purpose. The way women think, the way women prioritize their Emotional interpretive process, is the right way for men to think – and the mutual presumption is that men already do (or should) think and process stimuli like women do. Anything else, anything that would recognize a difference in men from women, always feels wrong.
This default presumption of a female-correct way of interpreting and experiencing the world isn’t limited to our differences in communication. This misalignment of interpretive differences also extends to the false presumption that men and women approach the concept of love from a mutually understood perspective. Men love idealistically, women love opportunistically, yet men’s presumption is that both men and women approach love from the Disneyesque idealism they believe women are capable of. Men too believe that women see the same colors they do and have the same names for those colors. In this case those colors are the concepts and approaches women have towards love. I may write a new essay outlining this dynamic soon, but I’ve already written many prior posts on this experiential difference.
Rationalism vs. The Rational Process
As a result of pushing the Emotional process as the correct way of interpreting our world the Rational process necessarily gets demonized today. It feels wrong to a social order predicated on the Emotional process, so the truths that the Rational process reveals seem cruel, biased or vindictive when they refute the interpretations of the Emotional process. The importance of Emotion has been elevated above an interpretive process to where it’s now entered a metaphysical realm. This is where the Emotional process becomes Emotionalism. In the light of this, the Rational process is overshadowed and sublimated in importance. But the Rational process is what exposes emotionalism for what it is: Emotion is an evolved, biological interpretive process that serves our species well, but the feelings it generates are biological responses to environmental stimuli, not evidence of some higher consciousness or mythic existential importance that goes beyond anything in the physical realm.
The Rational process throws a cold bucket of truth on lofty emotionalism. As a result, and because emotionalism has been a basis of our social order for millennia now, the Rational process had to be debased in importance.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. – Proverbs 3:5
This scripture is an example of the conflict between emotionalism and the rationalism that popular social consciousness would like to apply to the Rational interpretive process. The Rational process is based in our collective and subjective intelligence. Healthy men and women both have the mental hardware to use the Rational process well, but where we differ is in our gendered mental firmware. When we collectively prefer one process to the other, this is where we decide which gender’s process will define our social order. In order for emotionalism to supersede rationality and ensure its preeminence appeals to the emotional above the rational have to be popularized.
If we could depend on an unbiased, unadulterated form of reason the Rational process would be a superior methodology. But as I stated before, rationalism is dependent on intelligence and that intelligence takes time. In some ways the Rational process is sensitive to both instinct and emotion, in other’s that reasoning is painfully, sometimes fatally slow. The world happens fast and vacillating in the reasoning process might easily kill an individual. Fortunately we have instinct and emotion to carry us through. The Rational process requires time because it requires learning, contemplation, theorizing and any number of high-order thinking processes to be effective. And even then, that effectiveness depends on reasoning’s accuracy. For the past three or four hundred years we’ve increasingly had the luxury to develop our Rational process, but for all the advancements it’s given us, when it comes to intersexual dynamics emotion is still the priority.
An emotional response to a situation is the single greatest barrier to power, a mistake that will cost you a lot more than any temporary satisfaction you might gain by expressing your feelings.
— Robert Greene (@RobertGreene) May 8, 2018
We have placed such importance on emotion at the expense of reason that we’ll risk personal safety in our ‘right’ to express it. No doubt most men are familiar with repressing their emotional responses, but it’s interesting to consider that even with this self-control and even with our innate predilection to process emotion differently than women, men are the ones accused of failing to be ‘in touch with their emotions’. On first glance Robert Greene’s quote here appears to be wisdom (I think it is) – self-control, mastery of one’s emotional state, is a virtue. Yet, in our emotional-primary social order we’ll hear women complain that men are less emotionally available. And this conflict illustrates again that whatever is expedient to the female imperative is what is to be considered ‘correct’ at that moment.
Empiric reason is the foundation of what humanity has made of itself. Setting aside emotionality and considering challenges in a Rational interpretive process is fundamental to understanding the emotional and instinctive process and their advantages and weaknesses. For the record it’s my belief that all of these interpretive processes in union are are necessary elements in the human experience, but my focus on these processes is to lay a foundation for a better understanding of them. It’s easy to get caught up in the demonization of the instinctual and the rational when the emotional is defining what’s bad or good for our collective experiences.
When I wrote Appeals to Reason I was exploring the futility of expecting women to transition into a logical reasoning of why she should logically be with a guy who was more than happy to embody all of the aspects she stated she wants in a man. The manosphere idiom is “no woman was ever reasoned or logicked into bed with a guy”, women don’t follow the Rational process when it comes to interrelating with men. It’s all Instinctual and Emotional, and usually in that order. A man might be able to use his rational facilities to better understand women’s evolved instinctual and emotional responses, and what prompts them, but reason itself isn’t the key to that interrelation.
Appealing to women’s logic and relying on deductive reasoning to sort it out is the calling card of a Beta mind. There is nothing more anti-seductive for women than appealing to her reason. Arousal, attraction, sexual tension, subcommunication of desire, all happen indirectly and below the social surface for women. It’s not that women are incapable of reasoning (hypergamy is one logical bitch) or are crippled by their emotion-based hindbrains, it’s that if you’re asking her how to be more attractive you don’t Get It. It’s in the doing, not the asking.
If you’ve stuck with me to the end of this series I want to say thanks. I really felt that these interpretive processing models needed to be fully outlined as what I’ll get into in the coming months will need this as a basis for it.

If a man has to think about, be aware of, practice aspects of a thing, he is not that thing. #metoo deserves a hard and harsh pushback. End of story. We are witnessing get another paradigm shift right before our eyes, and super beta faux alpha practitioners will continuously assist to giving oxygen to this Frankenstein monster in the making. Asshats like Harvey can be sorted out via evidence in courts. The problem is the rules are being changed mid game for nefarious purposes. R. Kelly and Louie CK are not the same thing.

Sentient
I thing dpa confuses guys because they lack a solid core. They need to understand themselves fully first, before engaging the Platinum Rule. Get sorted, engage platinum – not the other way around.
How could you understand yourself Blax unless you first accepted your own agency? How would they throw off the yoke?
Society puts up enough guardrails – negative reinforcement – of collectivly detrimental actions. Murder, actual rape, DWI etc.
No Paltinum Dessert for you until you clean your room.
With all these #metoo accusations, especially Freeman, you have to consider the context. Was there some flirtation from the women before the alleged “creepy behavior”? Or was Freeman properly calibrating the situation? I can remember when a girl pulled her dress up to prove to me that she wasn’t wearing panties. But I didn’t pull it up. (She did it on the side. It wasn’t awkward.) If Freeman pulled up a girl’s skirt, did he do it high enough to “show her stuff” or did he just barely raise it to mess with her? Context. Most of these broads are… Read more »

@scribblerg – cool stories, bro. Always amusing when you discover something new that no one else has ever seen such as “wildlife” or “firearms”. Do bear in mind that not everyone has the same collection of mental issues as you, ok? Blaximus #metoo deserves a hard and harsh pushback. End of story. We are witnessing get another paradigm shift right before our eyes, and super beta faux alpha practitioners will continuously assist to giving oxygen to this Frankenstein monster in the making. Did you notice the list of entities that Sentient rolled out the other day, all involved in fundraising… Read more »
“In a way, #MeeToo is just bringing the 1990’s HR ruleset into the entertainment biz.”
Have to agree with this. Watching some tape of Morgan and his playfull interviews, the take away is “captive audience”… Would be no different from a boss and a subordinate. Morgan’s was not Platinum Rule mindset cut lose… Those bitches would be nowhere near him but for the paid gig between them.
At best he is a useful dupe for this shit.
Rollo has an important tweet up about Jordan Peterson:

@ scrib.
Yes. Sounds good.
“Novelist Phil Roth died the other day.”
Yeah. I’m going to miss Tom Wolfe.
You say that as though Phil Roth was just…chopped liver…
Naaaaaaaaah, chopped liver doesn’t annoy me at all.
“Rollo has an important tweet up about Jordan Peterson.” Yeah, I’m not so sure. The author is terribly biased. As in super Leftist faculty member (Lol: “Marxism is a respectable political and philosophical tradition.” Good luck with that.) with a transgender child. Freaking out and “kept up at night” because he doesn’t know what Jordan Peterson might say or what he is actually up to. It’s pretty obvious what Jordan Peterson is up to: to uphold his bias in a Blue Pill fashion to uphold social order in a new world disorder of leftist post-modernism. Vox Day is terribly biased.… Read more »
SJF, agree on JP article, highly biased. JP in context of being a blue pilled canadian is doing well to stand up against the mysandric sanctions they are imposing at educational levels even though his one time advocate and freind doesn’t believe so.There is no secret the feminists have taken over education at almost every level, the media as well will produce anything with the Feminist slant. This is the likely cause of the authors child’s transgender decision and him being canadian progressive,ill equipped to argue for what is right. It is quite possible JP’s wife had a 5min till… Read more »
For all his education JP is a useful tool.
Since someone brought up 80 YO Morgan Freeman’s current dilemma and loss of his various spokesvoice deals (thanks to his terrible troublesome past history of flirting, flattering, sexual innuendo, finger on a skirt?) … Here is another bloke who is not doing too poorly for himself As I sit here watching the NBA WC final on TV, simultaneously listening to Marv Albert, it suddenly hits me how fukced up this 2018 #metoo culture has become. Marvin is 77 now and the following occurred when he was 56. The youngins <30 won't remember these 1997 #metoo moments. "February 11, 1997, 1:30… Read more »

@ajax Marv Albert is a fascinating example, a harbinger of the metoo era. The bottom line is he did pay a price — but it was just a 12-month suspended sentence. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and battery charges, while the sodomy charge was dropped. NBC did fire him but brought him back after two years. And does anyone still care? The main difference I can see is that he was a one-of-a-kind revolutionary talent in his particular high-profile profession. He was a hero to NY sports fans from the minute he picked up a radio microphone at a… Read more »
Harvey Weinstein, Marv Albert and Phillip Roth all share a similarity around the tribal identity thing. Louis CK (though mix-breed) too.
@O.B.I.T.
Interesting point. Perhaps re-emphasizing the necessity for a man to maximize his unique talent(s) within his various tribes?
In the corporate world, this advice is often referred to as “make yourself indispensable to your employer.”
Perhaps with Marv Albert the equivalent term is: Too good to fail.
Maybe circa 1990’s it was: Marv Albert = too tribal to fail
So many lols

I blacked out kissing him so it doesn’t count 💋 aka he drugged me.
But Sentient, “the future is female!”. I read it on a sign ina picture on da Intertubes, must be true.
Doubly so with true genius girls like LIzzy Holmes running medical research…
Holmes may be a fraud through and through but the voice thing? Most people use different voices for different situations — that’s a social skill, not really fraud in the Rachel Dolezal sense. But once the media turns on you, nothing is too trivial to pick away at.
I’ve always said that a woman’s voice and manner of speech is a crucial vetting point for me. If she can do a convincing baritone when the time is right, hey that’s a good thing!
… And as far as the “tribal” thing (in the negative way Wild Man brings it up), I just want to say Thank God for the occasional non-Jewish pervs like Battali, Cosby and Kevin Spacey. I’m in the odd situation of being unidentifiable as a Jew, so I hear a lot of trash-talk about Jews. Unfortunately, to some extent the stereotypes are self-inflicted. Someday someone with the insight of a Rollo or Scott Alexander will look into this pervy-Jew phenomenon. They seem not like fellow tribesmen to me but people from a distant planet — I’m really at a loss… Read more »

@Rollo
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. – Proverbs 3:5
“This scripture is an example of the conflict between emotionalism and the rationalism”
No it’s not. You’re interpreting ‘heart’ as the seat of only emotions, and ‘understanding’ as being a rational process, which is not the meaning of these words according to dictionaries of the original language, but an anachronistic interpretation.
@Rollo: “If we could depend on an unbiased, unadulterated form of reason the Rational process would be a superior methodology.”
No it would not. This has been known in mathematics since the days of Kurt Goedel. Furthermore, multiple philosophers have addressed the impossibility of lack of bias, or more properly formulated, the impossibility to logically reduce assumptions.
The beauty of course is that rational thinking has shown us the limits of rational thinking.
Paul – your comment – “Furthermore, multiple philosophers have addressed the impossibility of lack of bias, or more properly formulated, the impossibility to logically reduce assumptions.” Yes – it’s the postmodernist claim that everything is relative. Which appears (from every angle, every vantage – haha!) to be true (as long as you not be so dumb as to fail to seek out appreciation of alternative perspectives). The singular vantage melts into the multitude (perhaps the infinitude) of vantages. And the logic of this (as you are pointing out) as to why this melting is defacto? Well – it’s because the… Read more »
@Wildman Just because postmodern philosophers make some valid arguments against rationalism doesn’t mean that we have to drink the postmodern bathwater that all positions are equal. Throwing out Rationalism doesn’t require abandoning research and tech. Postmodernism is useful for bringing us down to earth and making us look harder at our methods and claims. I tend to view all “scientific” claims with extreme skepticism where no human eyes saw the alleged events in question because 1) there’s a whoooole lotta confidence that comes from being able to interact with physical laws real-time and control the experimental parameters in the lab… Read more »
