I’ve been meaning to do a post about this for a while now, and given the present ideological schism in the Manosphere (still searching for a better term) I thought reposting this would be relevant to the discussion. This is from an old Purple Pill Debate thread on Reddit. I was made aware of it by Rian Stone about a year ago and I’ve returned to it often enough in commentary and Tweets that I felt it deserved a post and a discussion of its own here.
Now, I understand that the definitions of what constitutes a red pill understanding versus a blue pill outlook are always going to be subjective to the individual guy. The “red pill” and the “blue pill” have become so distorted recently that as terms, as loose brands, they’ve become effectively meaningless. Anyone who reads my work or has heard me opine about these terms already grasps what my own interpretations are. However, far too many disingenuous actors have entered this community of late and all have an interest in shifting those definitions to cater to their pet ideology. In fact, converting the Red Pill to be interpreted as an ideology rather than a praxeology (or a heuristic if you prefer) founded in an objective understanding of intersexual dynamics has been their primary goal.
All this redefining has done is (deliberately) confuse the purpose of understanding gender interrelations by inserting ideology into the mix. Often this is an effort at reprioritizing how interpreting intersexual dynamics ought to discussed. Most often it’s a conflict of the ‘correct’ way of approaching the interpreting of observable facts & data. So moralists believe in one goal for the interpretation while objectivists see another. The result is we talk past one another. Then one disavows the other, goes off to broadcast what he thinks is truth – according to their origination premise – and builds a brand based on that redefinition of “the red pill” according to them.
You’ll get a better understanding here (emphasis my own):
__________________________________________________________
Red Pill and Blue Pill people end up talking past each other because they cannot even agree on what they should be debating about. The sets of values they hold are completely disjointed. They cannot even agree on what a “debate” is, and what the goals of a “debate” are.
Red Pill people generally bring the following assumptions to a debate:
- They believe that there is exactly one reality, and that truth is what accurately describes that reality. The better a statement describes reality, the more true it is. They are factual absolutists.
- They believe that whether something is “good” or “bad” is a matter of opinion, and that all systems of morality are things societies invented to get a result, and it is therefore pointless to argue about whether something is “evil” or not, instead of about what effect it has. They are moral relativists.
- They believe that the goal of a debate is to establish what the facts are, and how this knowledge can be used to control outcomes. They argue about what is true.
- They believe that debates are a cooperative process between two or more people who have the shared goal of achieving a more accurate picture of absolute reality, and that, while people may stick vehemently to their positions, they can also reverse them on a dime if new information comes to light, because the only real attachment is to the truth. They believe debates occur between theories, not people. Thus questioning someone’s character is off-limits, because it is irrelevant.
Blue Pill people generally bring the following assumptions to a debate:
- They believe that reality is subjective, and what is “true” is simply a matter of who you ask. What is called “truth” is simply a codification of someone’s perspective, and it is therefore pointless to argue about what is “true“. They are factual relativists.
- They believe that there is exactly one set of moral laws, which human beings have gradually discovered in a historical climb towards ethical perfection (or degeneration). Certain people are ethically better or worse based not only on what they do, but also on what they believe. They believe that different ethical systems exist, but they can be ranked from ethically worst to ethically best based on a sort of meta-ethics whereby they can be tested for degree of compliance with the one absolute set of ethics that underlies reality. They are moral absolutists.
- They believe that the goal of debate is to establish what is morally better, and what everyone should do. They argue about what is right.
- They believe that debates are a competitive process between two people, who each have the goal of establishing their views about right and wrong by attaining a state of moral ascendancy over the other person. They believe that anyone who changes their views is revealing a flaw in their moral character (because their previous views were not morally correct), and must thereafter relinquish the moral high ground and submit their actions to the moral judgement of others (usually the person who won the debate). They believe debates occur between people, not ideas, for the precise purpose of establishing who should be allowed to set standards for the behavior of others (because they are morally superior). Thus, questioning someone’s character is not only relevant, it’s the whole point.
This is why Blue Pill adherents think “those Red Pill guys” are “misogynists” or bad people. Because they cannot imagine an analysis that does not occur for the purposes of judgement, much less one that doesn’t include any idea about what people “should” do.
This is why the Red Pill insists that the Blue Pill are willfully blind. Because, to them, anyone who doesn’t admit the truth must be unable to perceive it. They cannot imagine anyone not caring what the truth is.
This is why Blue Pillers keep thinking that Red Pillers are trying to restore the Dark Ages. They cannot imagine any group with shared views not having one moral agenda that they wish everyone to abide by.
This is why Red Pillers think that Blue Pill adherents must be hopelessly bad at understanding human social structures. They cannot imagine anyone not wanting to do things in the most effective possible way.
Here’s an example of this kind of misunderstanding in action:
Here we see an interaction between RP and BP regarding age of consent laws.
- RP’s primary objective to propose an algorithm for making legal judgements about consent or lack of it, which he believes will best serve what the majority of people desire to see these laws do. He looks at the issue as an engineering problem, and he proposes a solution.
- BP’s objective is to establish whether or RP is a bad person. If he can be gotten to agree to a statement which BP thinks of as diagnostic of “evilness”, then the debate can be won, and anything RP says can thereafter be dismissed as originating from an evil person.
- BP says “All this so you can justify getting laid.”. BP thinks RP is trying to “justify” something according a set of moral rules, because to BP, every act has a moral valance, and anyone who wishes to do anything must at least be ready with a moral excuse.
- RP has been arguing, meanwhile, about which metaphors best illustrate human social and mating dynamics. RP does not address the issue of right or wrong at all, and seems to believe BP is engaging with him on factual level.
Thus RP and BP cannot even agree on what the argument is about.
RP thinks right and wrong are a matter of opinion, and BP doesn’t care what the facts are.
__________________________________________________________
I imagine the discussion thread for this post is going to get pretty heated. However, I want to point out that a lot of what I’m seeing in the Manosphere at present is rooted in factual relativists attempting to establish what the “Red Pill” ought to mean to people, and thereby redefining it to suit their goals of couching any objective discussion in moralist terms.
What’s happening is that factual relativists want the Red Pill to be about what’s right or wrong according to their ideological bent. So they will bend over backwards to reinterpret what is actually an objectivist exploration of intersexual dynamics to fit their ‘interpretive headspace’ – or they will simply write off the Red Pill wholesale and say “Those Red Pill guys are just bitter, negative, misogynists” without a hint of their own irony.
Example: The realities of Hypergamy aren’t right or wrong, they simply are. In any of my numerous essays outlining Hypergamy, and for all my attempts to dispel the misconceptions about it, I’ve never once stated that Hypergamy was ‘evil‘ or that women’s nature is evil because of it. It’s simply a reproductive strategy that manifests per the realities of women’s nature and needs.
The factual relativists responds to this in two ways: First, is the nihilistic approach (Black Pill if you must) – Hypergamy conflicts with their personal interests and ideological bent. Thus, Hypergamy, or women’s inability (or choice) to police it for their betterment, or humanity’s betterment are evil. Second, is the approbation approach – “You talk about Hypergamy too much (or at all), it must be because you’re fundamentally a bad, damaged, morally compromised person.”
A debate never really occurs between these headspaces because the goals of the debate are never the same. Now, add to all this that factual relativists are appropriating the ‘red pill’ as their own “Brand of Me” and building revenue streams around their ideological interpretation of its original intent. Any counter argument proffered by factual absolutists is not only a challenge to their ego-investments, it’s also interpreted as an attack on their livelihoods.
In 2015 and again in 2018 I made this point:
It’s my opinion that red pill awareness needs to remain fundamentally apolitical, non-racial and non-religious because the moment the Red Pill is associated with any social or religious movement, you co-brand it with an ideology, and the validity of it will be written off along with any preconceptions associated with that specific ideology.
Furthermore, any co-branding will still be violently disowned by whatever ideology it’s paired with because the Feminine Imperative has already co-opted and trumps the fundaments of that ideology. The fundamental truth is that the manosphere, pro-masculine thought, Red Pill awareness or its issues are an entity of its own.
Unfortunately, this is where we are at today in the modern ‘Manosphere‘. The reason I’m attacked with accusations of enforcing some ideological purity tests for the Red Pill is directly attributable to the mindset of the factual relativists; whose livelihoods are now dependent upon the redefinition of whatever the Hell the “Red Pill” means to them or should mean to those they broadcast it to.
So, I become a ‘Cult Leader‘ because their minds can only think in terms of ideology. Again, the factual relativist never leaves the ideological Frame in which they believe the debate takes place.
@Palmasailor
“The outcome of this shit will be Darwinian!”
The problem being that men are programmed to (at best) not care if women are privileged over them/harass them, and only seek to one-up other men.
Few things your average men enjoys than seeing a woman privileged unjustly over other men — sometimes over himself.
They think it helps their reproductive strategy… of course it’s not conscious it’s wired instincts.
So what is there that could stop the trend? Nothing and nobody.
And social/cultural trends that have no checks indeed tend to grow out of proportion…

YL: ““women’s studies” a legitimate science or social activism built around feminist ideology?” The primary purpose is to give jobs to incompetent people in universities. WS is also used for social activism. “The word “ideology” may have a negative connotation, but it is quite clear that both TRP reddit and Rollo’s The Rational Male are HIGHLY ideological.” As soon as Rollo tried to provide support from “science” (evo-psychobabblology), TRP acquired an ideological frame.

“men clearly have never been interested in their partner having a mind”
Clearly, a mind in a woman isn’t necessary for short term mating, but for LTRs, it’s essential for many men.

Well, a meeting of the minds is one of the main principles of contracts. And if you’re talking about a marketplace, then contracts are part of the game.
“ Each of the sexes has developed what was mostly in demand from the other sex, men clearly have never been interested in their partner having a mind — just like women have never been interested in “honesty” if honesty is to mean something beyond a deceptive dress of honesty + disposition to take their orders and be of material/economic use to them and their family (“He should love not only me, but also my family” translated for you).” Careful there.

@Rollo Excellent article which spells out the dangers of ideology versus praxeology, and absolutism versus relativism. The starting point on my journey into an RP mindset has to begin with this epithet on truth from Marcus Aurelius, stoic philosopher and ‘the last of the five good Emperors’ of the Roman Empire: ‘Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.’ So, on the face of it, truth, as espoused by Marcus Aurelius, appears to be ‘relative’ — but this is too simple a conclusion to reach.

Many thanks for your thoughts and extract and link to @Rollo’s article, which I have now read with interest:
https://therationalmale.com/2012/03/29/hb10/
I have definitely been on the wrong end of the looks versus scale dynamic in the past with two LTRs:
(1) Ex-wife: HB5 versus SE8 — her looks diminished over time because she let herself go to seed, while her strident feminism only got worse. 😔
(2) Babushka: HB6 versus SE3 — she was completely in the territory of self-sabotage and self-destruction, which I failed to spot to my detriment.

Intelligence and Character aren’t the same things.
Unless a person is at least 2 standard deviations above normal intelligence, which is generally held to be the “genius” threshold, any close, ongoing and cooperative association is difficult and frustrating, for the both of us.
But I am not a good reference model.
What a lot of you guys mean by “intelligent” is really “feminine”.
So I popped by 21Con today to scope out a ticket for Poland… And lo and behold could not find any links on the site?
How can this be? And Bobby Dino has stopped begging for dates in Warsaw.
Odd coincidence…

“What a lot of you guys mean by “intelligent” is really “feminine”.
Yes.
It’s called: Having proper Girl Game.
This reminds me of the time not so long ago when ideologues called feminists invaded the new atheist movement and took it over, effectively destroying it in the process. This is something that happens in mass movements. If your community is starting to be plagued by ideologues, that is a sure sign it is in danger of foundering. Everyone who finds themselves invested in an idea to any degree should read the classic The True Believer, by eric hoffer.
7817 For the platonic ideal of “True believer” thinking, see Bnonn and Foster’s twitter exchange: Twatter brings out a bad side in many people, those two are just a couple of examples. Foster’s snideness about the term “co-branding is a tell” is itself a tell; isn’t he supposed to lead by example and “meet people where they are”? Unfortunately, their attitudes and smug blindness to fact are way too typical in the Anglosphere churches, where pedestalizing women is extremely common. It’s as if entire sections of the Bible are invisible to them – “Yeah, Jezebel was a bad woman, but… Read more »

Form (including face), fit and figure. And then? They are just girls, right? That is just the starting line. @Blax. SJF is pretty much where I’m at on this. They avoid automatic disqualification but they aren’t my type. If J’s point is I’d smash it anyway even though she’s a moron I have to concede. But I’m not sure I’d push much past how far a… Read more »
Considering about 65% – 70% of all women are overweight, if a girl has a healthy body weight, she has a HB 7 starting point for me, and I add and subtract from that point.
I was curious…

Sorry Sigma… Can’t fudge the scale. Once more…. 10s – 9s who hit personal preference (I.e. hair color, eye color, ass shape etc.) 9s – exist solely on their looks (models, trophy wives, kept women) 8s – “Hollywood Pretty” – very beautiful but not as much as 9s, generally shorter. Compensate with some other skill/talent I.e. actress, singer, dancer, PR, Pharma detail girl, porn etc. 7s – the “smoking hawt” girls you see IRL out and about at the places you go to. 6s – attractive but have something off. I.e. plain face but tight body, beautiful face but bigger… Read more »
In 1950 all the children were well above average:
Which reminds me that it’s worth noting that during the famine the bulk of the fatalities were old men.
i.e. they starved themselves to give the children>women>younger men who would bear continuing responsibility for the care of the women and children a better chance at making it through.
“8s – “Hollywood Pretty” – very beautiful but not as much as 9s, generally shorter. Compensate with some other skill/talent I.e. actress, singer, dancer, PR, [[Pharma detail girl]], porn etc.”
Close to 30 years ago I happened to walk into a meeting of about 300 big pharma drug reps, mostly women. The sheer unbalanced representation of beauty was overwhelming. It is still a vivid memory.

I’ve always been curious about when pua teachers insist that guys go out to club(s)/Field and only game hb8’s-10’s , 19-24 years old – where the absolute fuck is this place located?
So what are all of these dudes online reporting when they say they snl’d a hawt hb9 in Random Club, in Kaskogie Michigan?
@ Rudolph “@Blax. SJF is pretty much where I’m at on this. They avoid automatic disqualification but they aren’t my type. If J’s point is I’d smash it anyway even though she’s a moron I have to concede. But I’m not sure I’d push much past how far a disinterested attitude would get me. I’m not going to say she isn’t attractive but she isn’t what I’d go for. Leo’s women often come up in these sorts of conversations and rating looks discussions and I’m often indifferent to his girls.

Yup. Pfizer was particularly notorious. Who better to get Dr. SJF to reload?
Was with a small business owner and this rep came in and before she got to say a word he said loudly “whatever it is you’re selling, I’M buying”… Lol
Blax
Well to them, because they have very limited experience being around beautiful girls, those are 9s…😂
And they are confused by makeup and clothes… A made up 7 never transmogrifies into a 9… Never.
But smart money is on they are simply full of shit.
“And they are confused by makeup and clothes…
Yes!! Yes!!! Yes!!!
“I’ve always been curious about when pua teachers insist that guys go out to club(s)/Field and only game hb8’s-10’s , 19-24 years old – where the absolute fuck is this place located?” the thing that got me with the pua guys was, if your game is so tight, why the fuck don’t you target super hot super connected super wealthy girls on their birthday of age of majority and become a fucking prince of europe or something lol yareally preferred sleeping on scumbags piss stained couches i guess lol “So what are all of these dudes online reporting when they… Read more »
You don’t see any 9s because they’re all in the sack with Scribbler
@Blax: I think I mentioned this imprinting idea years ago when I joined the site. I have the same experience, but with my first serious “crush”, when I was around 15 or so.
I’d be interested to know if others also had women of their favored type “imprinted” (for example, Sentient likes blondes).
@IAS
Glasses!
(And that was when glasses were uncool and most everyone was wearing contacts)

There’s one bartender about whom I asked, “What the hell is she doing tending bar? She could make hundreds of K as a swimsuit model?” Well, she’s too old to do swimsuits, but she’s a stunner, even without much makeup. I’d call her a 9.
@ J “Kendall Jenner only returned to the runway this year after a short hiatus, but she still managed to become the highest-paid model of 2018. That’s all the more impressive when you consider that her salary was counted prior to this past Fashion Month, with a cutoff of June 2018. During that period of time, Jenner raked in $22 million. While that’s only 13 percent of her younger sister Kylie Jenner’s earnings ($166.5 million), calculated by Forbes, it’s almost twice as much as the model in the No. 2 slot: Karlie Kloss. Keep in mind, though, this is all… Read more »

166.5 million huh?
God Bless Fiat Currency.

Kendall Jenner is a “celebrity”… Not a model. It’s A complete joke…
And the amount of money any model makes is irrelevant. We are discussing looks and looks alone.
Put your dog notions of status away.
For her she’s happy she is long gone from Buttfuckaruss or Duluth… On that face and bod.
It happens because ugly people are at war with pretty people.
You should see the goblins pairing up with eachother in south florida while they attend college and how they smugly accuse their more attractive cohorts of “immorality”.

Lol…. Beer Goggles are in fashion this year…
@blax “where the absolute fuck is this place located?” The top clubs in big cities will have a couple of 8s and a few 9s. Second-tier clubs (the ones I mostly go to) have mostly 6s, couple 7s and a few 8s. For example, in the small PUA facebook group I’m in, the members live in places such as Bucharest, Romania, Copenhagen, Denmark, Stockholm Sweden, Oslo, Norway, Montreal, Canada, and NYC. Nobody from Grangeville, Idaho reportly banging scores of 9s unfortunately…. “Top-Paid Models of 2018 According to Forbess” Nah. Wrong person you’re arguing with. You’re gonna have to take that… Read more »
:), Blaximus , all right you got to crack up with the old gal bar picture. Ratings are subjective by guys, generally guys rate girls way higher than they really are. In order to get consensus you have to broaden out the ratings I find 8+ = Here it’s just subjective, your 8 could be my 10, etc. 5-7 = Middle of the pack most non fat ok face average girls go here 4-0 = Something obviously wrong like obese/bad face, etc. I personally have never liked blonds, have had a few chase me hard especially in high school so… Read more »

Well, you have the global scale, on the one hand, and then there’s the local scale, on the other (“that girl is a Kaskogie 9!”). Then there’s also, for some guys, the “hyperlocal scale” — i.e., “in this club, that girl is a 10!” (LOL!)… Read more »
I’ve seen some pretty rough “tens” in my day ,hey at least they got some.

@TantumErgo “she was completely in the territory of self-sabotage and self-destruction, which I failed to spot to my detriment.” That’s about the riskiest mistake to make in relationships with women (and men too). They’ll angrily frustrate every attempt by you to introduce balance, peace, meaning, and direction toward anything good into the relationship/their life. They’ll hate you for doing that. (And since they need to think they want to better their life and good things, they’ll have to imagine you are doing this or that ill-intentioned/bad thing — which is of course very hard to lo and behold for someone… Read more »

“It does however have to control her arms, legs, eyes, persona, poon. Nipples etc.. in a way we find appealing. That’s not intelligence per se. But there is something in the brain doing that.” SEE? Then it’s almost impossible to find women with skills other than that (consider that “persona” means the surface shown to society, in other words, for instance, what we see on their Facebooks is their personas), because that is what men want. I am blaming nobody; just the luck of anyone who, in a market, as niche preferences is very tough, because he isn’t going to… Read more »
