It’s likely readers here have been following my twitter threads about the Anthony Bourdain suicide and I’ve been discussing the particulars about his death on Pat Campbell’s show and the Red Man Group for almost 2 weeks now. As readers know I’ve personally dealt with two suicides under circumstances like this and I’ve picked apart dozens more over the years I’ve been writing. I’ve got a pretty good idea why old Beta guys off themselves.
But the Beta part is only one aspect of the story. Anthony being a ‘paper alpha’ is certainly an aspect too, but the more I dig into the background of the “love of his life”, Asia Argento, the more the puzzle pieces fit together. This bitch was a piece of work. If you watched the Red Man Group last Saturday I explained why I don’t think she was a BPD case (borderline personality disorder), but after reading this thread I’m beginning to change my mind:
Wow. @PC1170
All of this just lifted from Asia’s IG feed. WTF?!https://t.co/bE6nj8rZTI
— Rollo Tomassi (@RationalMale) June 18, 2018
So, she’s a witch. A literal witch, and all of her ‘sisterhood’ are witches are too. You can digest that however you feel is necessary, but this is a 42 year old woman who practices literal witchcraft – which is an extension of feminism with a pagan spiritual woo woo magical thinking whipped into the mix. I really need to do a more expansive post on Chick Crack soon.
But, even this isn’t what I want to confront you with. What I want to raise your awareness to is something I’ve never really had an occasion to explore until now; Anthony Bourdain was a very big fish.
Anthony Bourdain (AB) was a long term, life-long, Beta. He was every bit of what I call a ‘terminal Beta‘. Yes, he had the Bad Boy thing working for him and if you want to get a more complete idea about his past Black Label Logic has a great piece on his blog you really ought to read. But, with respect to Bourdain’s understanding of intersexual dynamics he was very much a Beta.
People immediately gave me shit for naming him such. That was expected. He’s Anthony-fucking-Bourdain and I’m just some “half-assed self-published Red Pill writer, what the fuck do I know, right?” Well, I knew enough to recognize the profile of a Contextual Alpha who’d been plugged into his Blue Pill conditioning for 61 years and the huge mark he put on himself by being so publicly co-dependent on the idea of the soul mate myth. Anthony had been through 2 wives. The most recent one cheated on him with her MMA fighter / personal trainer he no doubt was paying to “train” his soon-to-be ex wife. I have no doubt AB would’ve attempted to lock down Asia Argento because this is what overly possessive, perpetually mate guarding Beta men do when a woman approaches his “dream girl” ideal. His social media was rife with declarations about how happy he was to have finally met his ‘kindred spirit’ soul mate (and self-avowed Wiccan) Asia Argento. AB sincerely believed his ship had come in. The woman who would finally complete him (this time) was at last in his life.
In every Instagram image, every Tweet, AB was gushing about how he’d never been happier as he cuddled with Asia like a boy who loves his mother. Intermixed with these images were many others with him in classic possessive-Beta encroaching posture – interposing arms like an affectionate headlock, while she looked away wistfully, or directly at the camera with the look of a woman who knows the Beta she’s with is deadweight to her Hypergamy.
Big Fish and the Cookie Lady
There is a larger dynamic at play in all this, one I probably could add an addendum to in my second book, Preventive Medicine. An aging Beta male, and particularly one with a notable amount of money, success, fame or status is a big fish for a necessitous woman. A woman who’s long practiced in using her sexual agency to its best advantage with men knows a prime target in an older man who’s never unplugged himself from his Blue Pill conditioning. Bourdain was one such big fish, and his Blue Pill conditioning, his eager white knighting and immediate deference to the feminine, his soul mate idealism would’ve been instantly recognizable to a 42 year old woman long accustomed to being the center of orbit for many a prior Beta.
I don’t want to call it an epidemic, but there is a set of women who look for aging men with resources to befriend and pretend they have a genuine interest in. Men with even moderate means and a Blue Pill conditioned idealism that ‘love springs eternal’ are prime targets for women who can read and assess that man’s state from years of practice. A woman who shows interest in a man who’s been starved for affection, sex and a real connection with a woman (married or not) will seem like more than an oasis in the desert. She’ll appeal to his romantic, idealistic Beta soul; a last chance at ‘true happiness’, a true miracle, as he enters his old age.
My own father was one such target for a woman we called the ‘cookie lady’.
My dad passed away from complications of Alzheimer’s/dementia before he was 72, but before his dementia had really become apparent the ‘cookie lady’ had already made a mark of my dad. My father was also what I’ve called a terminal Beta. He never unplugged to his dying day and lived a life based on the old set of books, being a good provider, dutiful, responsible and he was perpetually disappointed by the women in his life never reciprocating with their intimacy and appreciation the ‘rules’ clearly stated should happen. They never loved him in the way he thought women ought to be capable of loving him. Nevertheless, dad always clung to the (noble?) belief that if he saved his pennies and was of the highest service to women that eventually, one day, his efforts and quality would be appreciated by the right woman. He was a good example of the Savior Schema.
The ‘cookie lady’ understood all of this – all of dad’s Blue Pill conditioning, the way he thought the world and women should work, the old social contract investments, his idealism about women, everything – all of it in less than a week. She really wasn’t all that different from my step-mother in that respect, but at this late in the game, at her age, and noticing the subtle hints of cognitive degeneration in dad, the stakes were much higher for her long term security. I should also add that I would include my own mother in this schema; she’s a lovable loon, but she knew a good opportunity for security back in the 60s, so it may be my father had a knack for attracting this type of woman due to his Blue Pill idealism.
The reason we called this woman the ‘cookie lady’ was because she always brought my dad fresh baked cookies when she was trying to play into his Blue Pill end-of-life last ditch hope for happiness. We never knew her real name and if it hadn’t been for my dad getting very upset with us for preventing him from rewriting the ‘cookie lady’ into his will and power of attorney within the first month of her ‘dropping by’ we may very well have been suckered into her scam too.
Respect Your Elders
It was this incident that opened up a whole new understanding of the Red Pill and intersexual dynamics for me. I think it may be important going forward in Red Pill awareness to consider how intersexual dynamics and the Feminine Imperative affect generations of older men. My brother and I had to really watch out for similar scams to take advantage of my dad’s condition and his Blue Pill mindset that was making him a target. It wasn’t until this incident that I did a bit of research to find out how common this scam really is. In a sense it’s one more angle on the ‘stripper effect’ for younger, desperate, men for whom the feigned attention of the stripper, the kino, the deferent concern, is more seductive than her sexuality. It feeds a deeper emptiness. In a young man, in an Incel, just the possibility for that connection can become an obsession. For an older man, who’s been starved of the same (in or out of marriage) for the better part of his life, it seems like a storybook ending all his Blue Pill conditioning told him was possible. And what would a man like that give for on last shot at that idealistic ‘love’?
When Will We Face the Facts about Suicide in Older Men?
The instance of elderly men’s suicide is something not too many people want to talk about. Much of what I’ve read about it throws out a lot of feminist boilerplate about how old masculine ideals are to blame, but as expected, it uses this ‘toxic’ masculinity narrative to cover the uglier truths. Most men are Betas. Most men spend their lives wondering why all the Blue Pill hopes they sincerely believe are possible just don’t happen for them. They blame themselves, or they blame others, but they never really unplug because their existence was centered on the certainty that Blue Pill dreams come true if they can just work on the relationship harder or they made more money or if they’d only met a more perfect ‘soul mate’ in the story that is their life.
Anthony Bourdain fit this profile to the letter. And while it may not have been Asia Argento’s conscious, forethought purpose to gravy-train him, his Blue Pill, Beta, perspective had to have been apparent to her. On some level of consciousness she knew he had the capacity for self-harm as an extension of this. It’s exactly why she pleaded to the paparazzi who photographed her on the streets of Rome with her far more Alpha lover Hugo Clement, not to publish the photos. For all the guilty foreshadowing from Rose McGowan trying to convince the public who adored Bourdain about their “relationship without borders”, the truth is deathly apparent that Bourdain’s idealism believed otherwise.
Asia Argento didn’t kill Anthony Bourdain, but in what she represented to his Blue Pill mind, her actions were the catalyst that prompted his suicide. Yes, he was depressed. Yes, maybe he was on Chantix (we’ll never know now that his body was cremated unceremoniously, without a toxicology screening and against his family’s wishes). Yes, he was a hard drinker, drug addict and had suicidal thoughts before (after his 2nd divorce), but he killed himself 3 days after the pictures of his “soul mate” and Hugo Clement were published.
I think the bigger lesson here is a wake up call for older men who are still plugged into the Blue Pill Matrix as well as those who’ve become Red Pill aware much later in life. I’m of the opinion that it’s never too late to unplug and live a Red Pill aware life, but I will concede it’s a lot to lay on a guy who’s lived most of his life plugged in. Looking back on decision after decision influenced by a Blue Pill conditioning, influenced by a set of rules you believed others were playing by and then seeing the results of those decisions and wreckage that followed. It’s one thing to be “awakened while married” when you’re in your early 40s, but it’s quite another to realize Red Pill truths when you’re 70 and maybe have another good 10 years to live if you took care of yourself. That’s a rough realization.
In Positive Masculinity I stressed the importance of Red Pill aware men being mentors for boys and younger men and helping to raise them out of the influences of the Feminine Imperative’s Village, but I think it’s going to be important to mentor and protect the interests of older men as they age in a Blue Pill mindset and become Red Pill aware.

So Alpha is about morality now, lol …. interesting (you know – interesting what that indicates about the commentartiat here, but not what it indicates about alpha). Alpha is not about morality per se. Matters of morality (or immorality) are downstream from the alpha mindset (attitude) that governs alpha demeanor, and judgments around ‘moral or not’ bear no contingency whatsoever on alpha, actually. You still don’t see what Corey was doing there in that clip – eh? Wow. Hint: incorporative perspective = alpha: Means alpha dominance is not what you think it is.

@Blax: Interesting story. So many key learning points. There is a big difference being an Alpha VS an arrogant spoilt brat who “didn’t get punched in the mouth enough for being an asshole”. Every man thinks he is an Alpha until he gets punched in face or is cucked by “the luuurve of his life”.

So the Trad-con/Bluepill father will be “cleaning” his pistol/rifle when the boy comes over to date his daughter, but the RP guy will be prominently reading “Positive Masculinity” or “The Rationale Male”. I told my girls that I would not let them date until after their quinceanera. My oldest has had hers, but currently she is more excited school and about getting a drivers license than boys. The degree to which I would coach any of her boyfriends I’m still internally debating.

Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don’t know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use.” ― Ernest Hemingway Maybe you think you gotta defend your smarts or something and you get stuck that way. Lots of that going around… Read more »
@Everyone
If you talk to a fool. There’s a good chance he’s doing the same.

“OK kfg – not getting it . . .” That’s OK. I didn’t expect you to. At least some of the audience will. “Look – attempts at zen-like pronunciations, that are instead a mask for derision, aren’t really zen-like then, are they?” No. What makes them zen is that they aren’t a mask. I am deriding you. If you understood why I wouldn’t need to. I’ll also point out that such methods play a very prominent role in the Classical Western philosophical tradition. Diogenes was playing a blood sport and Plato returned with as good as he got. You are… Read more »
asd – loolcow – no. I know what you guys think (of my comments among other shit). So lolcow doesn’t apply. To tell you the truth I get a lot of laughs here too. Such is life. “you cannot incorporate something that doesn’t wanna be incorporated” That is yes and no. Leading the cow to water and all that. But, yet the ‘cow’ (your word – and apropos) can be incorporated. If you haven’t noticed – we are all cows (in the way you imply)….. and that is good for a lot of laughs all round, and yet even, the… Read more »
“Lots of that going around it would seem.” anon – the point being though, we each haveta sort that out for ourselves, nobody else can really truly know what is what there, about another person, even though there are tells aplenty and all that, ….. ultimately, each person has to figure out for themselves, why they say and do what they say and do. Hyper-personal endeavor – that. I think I know why I am here. Already told you all more than once. Many of you choose to believe otherwise. So be it. Such is life. That be your crap… Read more »
Diogenes, though an important figure with respect to the formation of the school of stoicism, by his own behavior (a consideration worthy of more import, that mere talk, by Diogenes’ own measure) seemed not to understand the nuances of western virtue ethic, as sorted out by contemporaries, the likes of Aristotle for example. So what’s your fucking point? It’s a fucking non-point again (like it always is with you kfg, so in love with your own cynical contrarianism ). Hahaha – now I’m going by the tells there, which are aplenty – and like I said above, I don’t really… Read more »
All attacks fail.
When was the last time you got laid?
My point all along here, is that the underpinnings of the western tradition incorporates everything you have listed there.
Yeah, that’s why you brought up the whole incorporative “Zen” thingie.
lol
“When was the last time you got laid?”
Hahaha! You think that’s an attack?
“Yeah, that’s why you brought up the whole incorporative “Zen” thingie.”
Precisely.
“So what’s your fucking point?”
That thing that just flew over your head. Perhaps some of the audience will get it.
“You got one speed here kfg . . .”
Mere moments ago consistency was a virtue, and so now you have lost yours. Ooooooh, the irony.
No kfg the consistency has not been lost. Wtf you talking about? Maybe it’s the same as the thing that just flew over my head – my insistence that you are capable of refraining from hiding within contempt, …. but you might eventually …… after all your latest foray with respect to hiding within contempt is weaker, and less enigmatic, less abstruse, less obscure ….. less kfg-like, …… less ironic. You are losing, by way of your derisive perspective. By your own measure of ‘cool’.
“How the fuck do you think I know what I just stated there about women, mersonia? Huh? By ‘staying in my room’ – hahaha! WRONG! WRONG! WRONG! Still wrong.”
You don’t know anything about women.
“anon – you don’t get to have it both ways. You are deluding yourself if you think so. Hope that’s not what you are implying by way of your last comment”
I have no earthly idea what you are talking about (but, I haven’t understood you for a while…and that is what I am stating. Not implying, stating outright…your posts are about 80 percent unintelligible-with-occasional-obviously-contrived-big-words).
Asd Is that what ” teh left ” is saying now? I think, especially with his fucked up society is becoming, that kids need protection, but defining ” protection ” and what they need to be protected from? There’s the rub. Don’t allow ” teh left ” to own words and concepts. Kids need protection, their parents/families are the first line of that protection, and the ” system ” ( left or right o or center ) needs to bacdafucup and let people do the work. Who are the protectors really? Killers need killing, but that’s just my opinion. 30-50… Read more »
NC , not ND.
North Dakota doesn’t have cool forests that I’m aware of.
“He opines enigmatically, utilizing circumlocutory colloquialisms, as though ailing from a terminal acute transmundane affliction of logorrhea.” anon – is that a Faulknerism or an anonism? Either way – I see again here, you really do like the words (as do I). I guess I would be more impressed if it was you that authored that phrase though. Nevertheless, it doesn’t really apply. The challenge I presented for this portion of the thread, is to define ‘alpha’ (particularly what Corey Worthington was doing in that clip) in more concise terms than the one I have already provided: “alpha = the… Read more »
@Wild Thing
You shouldn’t confuse alpha with symptoms of an dissociative disorder.
Alpha has everything to do with personal self-regard. Even in the Corey Worthington clip.
Jesus H, man. SMH
Rollo, I think this article is in poor taste. Do any of us really know why AB really committed suicide? He probably could of gotten another woman. Most women only care about money and status, right? Betrayal is a bitter and humbling pill to swallow for a lot of people to handle but it can make us stronger if we endure. I fucking definitely know Asia wasn’t pleading with the pappari to spare the “beta” AB as you say…she was simply trying to save her pathetic ass/reputation. Pissing off the wrong persons in Hollywood can ruin a career for sure.… Read more »
Life is complex and stop trying to simplify everything for your small mind.
” If you can’t see alpha in the Corey Worthington clip, by way of your ‘mother’ blinders, then just tell me, as concisely as possible, in general, what your definition of alpha is then.”
The person in the room that people most want to follow.
To be followed by this misguided group of people? My dear…you got it all wrong, lol.
just to add, especially when shtf. Pointy edge of survival situations in particular.
I have…we don’t know why.
Palmasailor I’m talking about AB’s suicide not his lying, cheating partner. If she the real reason for her pleading then you need help…
alpha = “The person in the room that people most want to follow ….. especially when shtf” Thanks anon. I agree. And superbly concise too! I especially agree that women in particular are going to naturally sense that aspect of the social dynamic (thus my insistence that women undertake a status-sorting operation by way of reading tells, particularly tells about dominance hierarchies). I am attempting to go deeper though. What makes such a man? Is the question I ask myself. And ….. as men do ‘make themselves’, dominance hierarchy-wise, (i.e. – we are not automatons …. the choices I make… Read more »
