I was listening to Episode #1139 of the Joe Rogan Experience with Jordan Peterson yesterday, and after a discussion on hierarchies and free speech, Jordan Peterson went full Red Pill on releationships, sex, and beta bucks/alfa fucks. The interesting details is that both Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan used language and terminology that we use here!
I had suspected for a long time that both Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson have deep knowledge of gender/sexual interactions from a Red Pill view. Red Pill theory convinced me a few months ago, but hearing a Harvard educated psychologist talk about it was refreshing. Kinda makes you wonder how many of these academics have deep insight that they never share due to political corretcness.
Anyways - They start talking about Red Pill theory around 1:32:00. They start talking about “enforced monogamy”, rejection, incels, alfa bucks/beta bucks, sexual marketplace place on college campuses and then dwell into other Red Pill theory.

Consider yourself lucky, a Harvard psychologist is smacking Red Pill truths in your face.

Ive never understood why so many TRP boys dislike JP. I’m redpill in my soul and I vibe with the guy on some things.
Just because the man says some things that you dont fuck with doesn’t mean all his material is waste.
JacobyAhrar 6y ago
JP is Red Pill. He wants to reverse the downfall, here at /TRP people want to enojoy the downfall. Big difference.
Leonidas_79 6y ago
Right. Ironically, being annoyed about someone destroying how things are now is very un-RP.

Having seen much of his material on YouTube, it is the first time that I recall Peterson saying the "H" word. Hypergamy.

OHHH you beat me to posting about this!
Dr Jorden Peterson appeared on Joe Rogan again yesterday.
If you are not familiar with him, he was the professor for psychology at the university of Toronto and publicly opposed the compelled speech bill C16 and he wants everyone to get married.
I don’t see any issues with a lot of his ideas, except the monogamy narrative, so far I have seen him go unchallenged on these ideas and it was great to see Joe ask some hard questions before he moved away from the line of questioning by talking about virtue signalling (a subject he knows Joe will react too, take the bat and change the subject). Really interesting to see someone who is so into marriage wrestle with hypergamy LOL!.

CMajorThe3rd 6y ago
TRP is only about self empowerment and movement towards an idealised self and not an idealised women, so im unsure as to where you felt I went wrong, perhaps take a moment to unpack where monogamy falls into that paradigm?
Cyxana 6y ago
Monogamy would be the end game if ypu consider your children the highest priority and red pill is a great way to become such a man tha you can have children with a good mate as well as for keeping her around for the children and raising them in a two parent household. If you don’t want children then monogamy probably isn’t your end game.

Joe Rogan shat his pants as soon as he heard the word Hypergamy. At this rate there will never be a serious conversation about hypergamy on his podcast unless he somehow grows balls or he has trouble raising his daughters.
Joey_Lopez 6y ago
Do we really need him to bring TRP mainstream? If it gets into the mainstream females are just gonna put up bigger bitch shields to try and scare away red pilled betas. Just like feminists started all this anti street harassment because PUA's were inspiring too many betas to approach.

I love Joe Rogan and he's redpill without knowing it but... He's raising someone else's daughter. The subject might hit home for him in some ways.
Jampak_5000 6y ago
yeah, he also recently talked about a "bit" hes doing about Katlyn Jenner, the premise being, if you live with crazy bitches, maybe you become one.
That wasn't the interesting bit though, what he said was; as he has 3 daughters and a wife, they are stealing his manhood, and said if his manhood was a 10,000 marbles, every day they take 2-3 which seems insignificant, then one day you wakeup and you've lost your masculinity.

ThatOneDrunkUncle 6y ago
He mentioned how that's such a scary subject. I noticed how they beat around the bush for 20 minutes about the topic, then that word was mentioned. He acknowledged it, didn't argue the idea of it, and they moved on. He tries very hard to make his guests controversial while toeing a neutral line so he can avoid the kind of labelling that JP gets. I get the feeling that he's much more RP than he'll admit.
[deleted] 6y ago
He has definitely been self-censoring a lot compared to the early days of the podcast. I think it's mostly to do with the liberal dominated comedy social circles he spends time with in LA.

Idk if I blame him. He can probably get 20-30 million dollars in the next 5 or six years assuming he has 3 or 4 popular specials.

In the early days of the podcast, he often talked about how he never wanted to get married, thought marriage was bullshit, and then eventually gave in to his now wife. He still says marriage is bullshit but did it "because it's important to her".

I agree, and I don't even think its a bad thing or anything like that. Its the reason we love rogan, because of his honesty. Not to say he was openly admitting his envy, but it was apparent in a way, that you could only get from rogan. Most people wouldn't even talk to Bilzarian, if there were in rogans position, let alone indulge him in that way.

All potheads act like that. Never taking a hard side, always looking for another perspective blah blah blah. Doesn't matter if he is if he won't manifest it. APALT (All potheads are like that)
scottbrio 6y ago
Potheads? That's quite a reach and entirely anecdotal. Joe tows the middle line because his guests are on both sides of the political spectrum, and wildly diverse in his beliefs. If he starts to sway too much to one side- his show gets lopsided and he's now another Glen Beck or Sean Hannity.

BillyRedRocks 6y ago
Looking for a perspective is not always wrong or bad. Not having an opinion on anything is bad and a lot of things are in fact black and white. What makes me think all people who smoke weed do this is my observation of potheads and Joe Rogan. Whenever a difficult question comes up they back off, start yapping about perspectives and different side of things and the conversation end there with no resolution or meaningful dialogue.
availableEXCLAMATION 6y ago
I consume weed everyday for past 5 years, am pot head. I’ve heard other people say very similar things about pot heads, even my own father has suggested a very similar idea.
Could you elaborate on what exactly you mean about pot heads being wishy washy about things. Or how they seem to not take hard stances on anything? Why exactly is it bad to not take hard sides on arguments? What does pot have to do with this or how does pot change people to be more susceptible to this. I am legitimately curious about this.
My own brief insight as a pothead on this matter is Pot makes me super sensitive, so sensitive that I don’t want to be wrong about something in an argument. I see this in Joe Rogan, I see the weed making changing his personality, it’s making him timid about his beliefs. He doesn’t want to say something and be proven wrong or made to look foolish. And because of the weed, he is docile with some of his arguments.
Freedomeofchoice 6y ago
Pot tends to make you averse to confrontation when on it, so you tend to to always be passive in that sense. Probably because it is generally harder to concentrate and keep more complex arguments going. So wishy washy is the result to not offend anyone or be wrong.
BillyRedRocks 6y ago

You answered your own question. Being "timid" is no something you generally associate with masculinity. If you're wrong you can change your opinions based on facts but if you never have opinions you can never be right. Being afraid of being wrong = risk aversion = feminine trait. Being wishy washy means not living in reality. In reality you have to make a call, you have to make a judgement and you have to act on it. Sitting on the fence just hurts your ass. I have no idea how pot does this to people but I see it every damn time.

That's in pursuit of power.
In pursuit of truth (i.e. natural law), it is wise to open up and support an objectively true position, it is the moral action, whether you agree or not is irrelevant.
What you pursue of course is entirely your decision. Jordan Peterson is objectively on a moral path - within reasonable boundaries. Without a doubt he knows deeper truths, but the truths he shares, are truths that his audience could be without, had it not been for JP.

Thats the kind of law that lets you survive at the middle levels of dominance hierarchies as you climb up.

Soundmind78 6y ago
Using your own resources to provision for the raising of another man’s progeny is by definition cuckoldry. The fact that the child (or children) was born prior to meeting the mother does not change the fact that your life energy is being spent to further genetics that are not your own. The fact merely specifies the dynamic as ‘proactive cuckoldry.’ Get the Alpha genes first, then lock down Beta provisioning. The fact that he was manipulated or “voluntarily committed” into this state of affairs does not mitigate the reality. Viewed from this perspective one can see that cuckoldry, specifically proactive cuckoldry ( Think 28-32 yo single moms ), is rampant in Western culture.
[deleted]
TheOneWhoDidntCum 6y ago
What does Proactive Cuckoldry mean? does it mean being aware of one's child not being his and provisioning for it as opposed to not knowing ?
Soundmind78 6y ago
Apologies for delayed response, a woman that has a child from her Alpha then seeks provisioning for said child from the Beta. The Beta spends his money/life energy on raising another man's progeny: cuckoldry. The proactive bit means she gets knocked up with the Alpha genes first then seeks provisioning. The alternative would be reactive or 'normal' cuckoldry where she cheats, get knocked up, and bears a child that is not her Beta providers, though their LTR is already established.
[deleted]
yungassed 6y ago
Proactive is when they get the alpha genes first, then find the beta provider. Opposed to the opposite when they marry the beta provider first, then cheat on him and get pregnant with an alpha during the marriage.
Before, most men were alpha with enough abundance enough to not accept a single mothers no matter what. Men died during war, so the ratio of able men to women was greater, so regardless of how one man compared next to another, women were so desperate for a decent provider, they would take nearly any decent man willing to commit. That means being a single mother would not fly since ever man had an abundance of options, with some groups having multiple wifes.
In current days, the ratio of men to women is about even, and since men desire women more in this situation, women have the ability to select now. They can get away with being single mothers and then locking down a provider first.
TheOneWhoDidntCum 6y ago
Most excellent answer thank you for explaining it. To me it seems poor society -> marry beta bucks -> cheat on him rich society -> marry alpha (make baby/get dumped) -> marry beta bucks
yungassed 6y ago
Sorta, but its not necessarily the wealth of a society, but more so the ratio of attractive men compared to attractive women. The only caveat being that wealth is a more attractive quality relative to other traits in poorer places. With woman being able to earn for themselves, money is no longer attractive as it once was unless its on the multimillionaire level. Hell, the person they cheat with might not even be more alpha than the husband, just a situational alpha. Consider a married woman working as a secretary. Her husband is smart and good looking, but the majority of the time she only sees him after women when he is tired, in his pjs and just wants to relax. Oppose that to her boss, who she only sees wearing a, business suit, nice watch and getting respect from everyone in the office. Even if her husband is like that in his own office, she doesn't get to witness it. Add along that she takes orders from her boss, you have the perfect recipe for her to cheat. That is way men of old did not want their women to work, because it would mean her taking orders from another man.
Also note that we are talking about cuckoldry, while although common, only happens to a minority of men (~20-40%). Its just never been so blatant that a man willingly enters such an arrangement. At least before, the woman had to lie about it and the man thought all the kids were his (with the majority of kids actually being his). Most people do not cheat (although I am skeptical about this and not sure if it is a pill I am still unable to swallow yet).
Herculius 6y ago
That might be the usual case but it isn't always the case. A woman might get divorced from a from a man with money and shittier genes and leave that man for a man with better genes/(and/or)/money when she gets the opportunity.
However I see your point that regardless of why the woman with a kid is changing partners, Men agreeing to raise another man's kids perpetuates the willingness of women to use various manipulative strategies.

It's a difficult diet to start but one you do it gets easy. I had some friends over and had a big blow out to get rid of all the shit in my house. I gave away a lot of my food. Lot's of tinned food and did a massive shop. The first couple of shops can be expensive. But it's cheap after that. You feel like shit for a couple of days. Look up advice online and consult your GP. Like any diet it won't be for everyone.
notyourduck 6y ago
It's a great diet but again it's just that a diet. Most people don't do keto for life. That's not me saying dont do it, but think about changes you can make with food that will be lifestyle changes. If you don't change your lifestyle you will end up in the same body.
I tried keto years ago and had really good success but I only stuck with it for a month. I tried again later but had a limit of 60g of carbs which is kinda too high to be keto. That was awhile ago though. I got married, fat, and divorced again so I started working on me again. I have no interest in going full keto, but I've lost 51lbs with cardio and a low carb lifestyle. My previous attempts at keto and low carb gave me insight into carbs effects on appetite, and energy level. I also can spot high carb food with easy now which makes it a lot easier to avoid. So I'm not interested in doing keto again, but I will continue to use the knowledge I gained going keto to build a lifestyle that is sustainable.

BostonPillParty 6y ago
I had one at 23. And I probably got it from one of the most renowned facilities in the entire United States (Men’s Health Boston).
Do your research, explore alternatives, talk to people that I’ve had vasectomies, and meet with multiple urologists. You’ll find one that is willing to listen to you and your rationale. It’s important you do the steps outlined at the beginning of this paragraph because communicating how much time and energy and effort you’ve put into this thought will help the doctor feel at ease about performing this procedure on you. Sucks you have to prove your sane but it’s how I did it and you can too.
Also, this goes without saying, but really think, like block offs few hours to think long and hard about this. Bring up pros and cons. Talk to yourself. Make sure this is for you. If you even remotely want to have kids, don’t do it. Reversal is an expensive, non-guaranteed bitch...my comprise during this deep meditation was that I accepted that I am 100% comfortable adopting orphan children in the future under the age of 4.

I really don't get this argument... You can still freeze a sperm... I think it's not about the doc but laws. For example in my country u can't get vasectomy before turning 35 under any circumstances. Whatever, I'll go to Germany for vas.
BigGut 6y ago
Get another doc - you don’t stop producing sperm, you can still have it extracted - or reverse the procedure. It’s a bullshit tactic by most docs - but guess what, if you want kids you’ll have to fork over 5-10k for the procedure, which you should have anyways before having children. Just my personal opinion
MentORPHEUS Senior Endorsed 6y ago
There used to be a doctor in Australia who specialized in vasectomy reversal back when the technique wasn't well developed. He would fly you and family to AUS, put you up in a nice hotel, provide a few days of tourism, perform the operation, and fly you home, all for less than it cost to get the operation in the US.

Coil222 6y ago
Yes but no guarantee. Also you’re looking at 5-10k to have it reversed, which I think is a great barrier to entry for breeding anyway. If you can’t swing that you’re prob not in a good position to start a family. But until then you won’t get trapped because of a broken condom or a forgotten pill.

Maybe I'm wrong. But, I've been a Rogan fan for a very long time. And the way he carries himself, he's the kind of animal that isn't going to waste his time with a less effective option.
Gel is the less effective option.
I'm almost certain I've heard him say on his podcast that he's in full time replacement therapy. It may be that he wasn't willing to admit it at one point, and hedged his bets by owning up to 'using some gel in the past.'
But I'd bet you $1000 that if you ransacked his shit, you'd find he's doing the injections.
I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I'll be going full-time on that shit myself, without a second glance when the time comes.
Just pointing out that anyone thinking a little dieting and jujitsu will turn them into an animal like Rogan, may need to revise their expectations a little, and account for the performance enhancement that's happening.

the shape of his skull is what hgh dome refers to.
Human growth hormone causes bone to grow when it would normally have halted. It's why any given user's face change so much.

For a long time, Dwyane Wade (legendary NBA player) was accused of doing HGH. If you look at pictures of him in 2006-2009 vs 2012-2014, specifically at his chin and cheeks, you'll see what other users are referring to.

I don't know if I buy this. I've never used HGH but I've lifted for a good 15 years of my life, done muay thai for 5 years, and eat a shit ton of food. Gained a lot of muscle as well. My facial features changed similarly to Rogan's. I was a rail in highschool and now I have a bit of a beer belly and a massive head.

Dont talk about what you know nothing about. Link me a pub.med that shows any correlation between a low carb intake and "kidney stone". This is obviously based on some pseudo-science about high protein putting stress on kidneys, but its blown absurdly out of proportion as it doesnt pose a potential issue unless youre getting like 700-800g of proteins / day or some absurd amount. So dont worry about that.

Carbohydrates are necessary for anaerobic (weightlifting) performance as well as sustaining higher volumes of exercise.
Consider transitioning to a low carb diet once you reach your weight loss goals and once your diet adherence/control is where you want it to be. While carbohydrates added to the diet do make hunger and appetite more difficult to manage, they will improve muscle and strength development more than a ketogenic diet could.

IkWhatUDidLastSummer 6y ago
No, Carbohydrates are much more important for aerobic sports than weight lifting (anaerobic) sports. Thats why you see professional cycle riders consume white pasta, gel bars, high-carb bars etc. The carbs you get from a low carb diet is more than enough, if the body needs carbs it can break proteins into carbs, the body is smart like that if it needs the energy.
raoulduke415 6y ago
You can also do targeted ketosis, where you essentially carb load 30 minutes before you workout, and that raises your blood sugar levels enough to get a workout, and burn all the carbs off without going out of ketosis.

If you feel great on it then stick with it my dude, it being "subpar" does not at all mean you wont get results on it, just potentially slower results (which in your case it sounds like that really doesnt matter). The best diet and routine is always the one you can stick to and enjoy.

Technically speaking the brain is the only organ that needs carbs, the rest can run on fat; the brain needs around 100g carbs / day, so that’d be the reason to eat carbs

PrettyBelowAverage 6y ago
Not necessarily true according to scientific research. Many individuals noticed a neutral or positive benefit in cognitive function from low carb diets.
Just Google "brain function and ketogenic diet". Your system alters and begins using ketones for brain function after prolonged periods of low carb intake (which, by the way, low carb still means you're taking in carbs). If you're attaining it from sources such as Omega-3 Fatty Acids, then it is proven to decrease cognitive decline and diseases related to aging.

Yes, your body can run without carbs, that is not the problem.
The problem is weightlifting performance and muscle development is hindered and sub optimal without carbs, to a degree that in my personal opinion makes the ketogenic diet the worst possible diet option for any weightlifter.
It's excellent for getting a start towards dietary control and weight loss because it really has been shown to kill your appetite, but once your shit is together and your diet is under your control, reintroducing carbs is the smarter and more effective option for anyone looking to build or maintain muscle.

Carbs are not necessary for weightlifting performance outside of high competition ok game day. If I was going to play NCAA football on game day as I did in the past, I would carb load the night before. For most people, you simply don't need carbs and most bodybuilders are stronger than 99% of humans in the world and run low carb diet when in competition. I've dropped 40+ pounds doing keto/low carb and intermittent fasting with the 5-2 diet and I can still squat the same at 245 as I did at 285.
[deleted] 6y ago
This is a completely irrelevant opinion. Yes you get results on a ketogenic diet, but you will not get the same results compared to a diet with carbs in it, both in terms of muscle preservation during a cut and muscle growth during a bulk.
They are not necessary, you dont die without them, but you are still eating a suboptimal diet for any weighlifting or bodybuilding goal.
bullshit.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5769537/
High carb = better results in the gym, and better muscle mass retention in a contest prep. Bodybuilders undergoing contest preps traditionally stick to high carb diets when in competition, low carb is not at all the norm and has been shown time and time again to lead to worse results (for bodybuilders).

What’s your window for IF? 16-8, 20-4, etc?
sevendimes9 6y ago
Longer is better, and once I really get focused and strict it is easier to maintain longer fasting windows. On a low cal fast day, I will go no less than 16 and ideally up to 24 hours. If I am busy, the time will go by faster. Usually it will fall in around 20 hours. I usually only have a 4 hour window of eating, so I can eat my face off of fish, egg whites, and veggies and feel " full" while only getting maybe 250-350 calories in and then have a low/no carb whey protein shake 2-4 hours later to top it off at 500-600 cal for the day. One trick I'll do if I start getting hungry is bcaa powder plus fiber, glucomann or psyllium. You feel full with minimal calories and can get through the day.
skibbidywibbidy 6y ago
I'm doing it very similarly, 4 hour window+keto. This shit really works

Low carb diets provide a sufficient amount of carbs for weight lifting. Mostly, the only time a higher amount of carbs is important is when going into competitions such as fighting, lifting, or other sports. Even then, a ketogenic diet is fine until the days leading up to the event.
Keto doesn't mean no carbs, it is just another low carb diet with intermittent fasting involved.
[deleted] 6y ago
You have no idea what you are talking about and every single thing in your comment is wrong. Ketosis is achieved with extremely low to no carbs, traditionally under 35g per day. Intermittent fasting is not at all involved in a ketogenic diet they are entirely separate (but can be combined) nutritional strategies.
This is entirely dependent on the total volume/frequency/intensity of your weightlifting sessions and cannot at all be said as a blanket statement.
PrettyBelowAverage 6y ago
Listen, I didn't approach your comment saying, "You have no idea what you're talking about and every single thing in your comment is wrong." Even though I disagreed with it mostly. I'm not going to discuss something with someone looking to argue, especially when they approach it in a directly condescending manner. You're not looking to have a discussion, you're looking to be right.
You can look up the scientific articles and educate yourself or keep believing your bullshit. I was wrong about the intermittent fasting being a direct part of it, I'll rephrase that to, "Most people following a ketogenic diet combine it with intermittent fasting due to the autophagy effects amongst other benefits."
You gotta have a baseline of respect with people if you want to have a discussion dude, when you just fly off the handle with unwarranted disrespect it's off-putting and makes you look like a jackass. For most people on the receiving end it immediately shuts their ears off to what you have to say.

I appreciate you owning up to that and your response, seriously..
The research you posted seemed overall inconclusive in the majority of areas and still needing research, I'm not at all dogging it or disagreeing, I just don't feel convinced that because anaerobic performance is slightly lowered that a ketogenic diet is bad for weight lifting. I said originally that a ketogenic diet provides what is necessary for building muscle, but I will add that I do agree that it is at a reduced speed compared to having a higher carb intake. As a matter of fact, if you are purely trying to build muscle it is considered better to start the keto once you have obtained the muscle as it can help maintain the lean muscle mass while removing fat.
I guess my question is, why do people still make gains when doing the ketogenic diet? I'm not talking random people, I'm talking about powerlifters and athletes. From my understanding based on what I have read, your body adjusts to having low carbs and begins using fat and protein for the same functions. You just have to have sufficient intake of fats and proteins.
I absolutely agree that carbohydrates are the fastest and most efficient source of energy for lifting, but I've noticed certain physiques are typically attained when having low carb diets. Also, I originally said that before performances, athletes typically do intake carbs because of them being the best for performance, I do not disagree with you on that, I just disagree that they are necessary in excess of what is considered 'low carb' to obtain muscle mass. It is just at a slower rate AFAIK.
Hope I got my point across better, as I can now see I left a lot of gaps to be filled in on my original response to your comment.

I don't like telling someone they're completely wrong, but you are. A keto diet is achieved by having restricted carb intake between 20-70g/day.

PrettyBelowAverage 6y ago
Most meats have no carbs AFAIK (example, ribeye steak has no carbs). There are a few other things I'm sure, but that's mostly what encompasses a 'no carb' diet, typically referred to as a 'carnivore diet'.
Jordan Peterson is actually doing a no carb diet due to previous health conditions and his health is the best it has been in decades, you can check it out on his daughter's blog by Googling, "Jordan Peterson diet" or searching, "Jordan Peterson Carnivore Diet" on YouTube if you'd prefer to hear him speak on it.
SomeSaltyShit 6y ago

PrettyBelowAverage 6y ago
Which ones?
That low carb diets are sufficient for building muscle? Unless you're mincing my words as "Keto is better or just as good as a diet with higher carbs for building muscle," what I said was correct.
That Keto doesn't necessarily mean no carbs, just low carbs? That is correct, 20-70g/day of carbs depending on activity level will keep one in ketosis.
That pretty much the only time carbs should be considered a necessity is before performance in a sport/competition? That is correct according to most high level athlete trainers, like Dr. Galpin.
I corrected what I said that ketogenic diets and intermittent fasting go hand in hand in another comment, saying that most individuals on a ketogenic diet follow some form of an IF schedule, which is anecdotal, but that is fine.
Go ahead, I would love to correct myself if something that I said was wrong, seriously. Don't just tell me to research more if you're not going to provide any basis of what needs to be researched brotha.

under 50g of carbs is definitely not enough carbs for any kind of weightlifting.... please don't spread shit advice; keto is essentially limiting carbs to <20. Keto is not even close to IF. there is no IF with keto diets.
PrettyBelowAverage 6y ago
I heavily disagree with what you had to say, and what I had to say isn't at all shit advice.
Your body shifts to using the fats as the source of energy. There is plenty of research out there if you would like to educate yourself. To maintain ketosis, from what I understand, it is no more than 30g of carbs a day for someone who is not active and no more than 40g of carbs a day for someone who is active (works out).
The majority of people on a ketogenic diet follow some sort of intermittent fasting schedule, myself included. You can't reliably say that under 50g of carbs is 'definitely' not enough carbs for any kind of weightlifting when people lift weights and see amazing results on the ketogenic diet.
Powerlifter1 6y ago
if I had more time I would dissect your argument, but you wont listen so ill keep it short. From the studies I've read people have been able to maintain ketosis with 50-70g in certain situations. Now with regards to people who are active, keto will substantially lower your test levels.
"One study, published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology [3], found that when carbs were reduced to 30% of total energy intake, testosterone significantly reduced; as did it’s ratio to cortisol. Bear in mind that keto diets suggest a carb level of as little as 5% and you can see the potentially damaging effect on T levels. Similar results were found in a study of Olympic athletes too [4]. The research found that cortisol levels significantly increased as the athletes became carb-depleted. The inclusion of a carb-based drink during physical activity was found to blunt the stress hormone effect. Likewise, a Life Sciences study found that high-carb diets boosted testosterone levels by 36% in comparison to a low-carb diet [5]. Not only that but their cortisol levels were lower too meaning they had created a much more hormonally stable, anabolic environment."
I can clearly and confidently say with my own experience and training a plethora of athletes, <50g of carbs is not enough to consistently make hypertrophy gains/strength gains. Sure, it works for some, but for the majority of people, carbs are much more beneficial for strength athletes. Literally every single scientific journal proves this, there's no argument there.
PrettyBelowAverage 6y ago
I never said that carbs aren't more beneficial, I said that a ketogenic diet can be sufficient for gaining muscle. I absolutely agree that carbs are more beneficial.
I just disagree with the blanket statement that under 50g of carbs is definitely not enough for any kind of weightlifting.
The overall information regarding the keto diet and anaerobic activity performance, testosterone, etc. is relatively inconclusive - too many conflicting studies. As far as a longevity diet for maintaining current muscle mass and increasing autophagy, the ketogenic diet seems to be pretty solid.
Also, AFAIK, there are supplements that can counteract the cortisol increase. I haven't researched these as much, though. People who have increases in those levels typically don't consume enough vegetables/get enough fiber and their gut flora gets thrown off from what I have read.
Appreciate you taking the time to send information my way. If you don't mind me asking, what do your macros look like?
Powerlifter1 6y ago
My macro breakdown is 275p/440c/120f on training days. off days 275p/300c/80-90f. on refeed/carb load days ill bring carbs to 600-800g. these also vary if im training for a meet.
Listen, i think keto based diets are great for weightloss but for strict focus on strength/hypertrophy there are much more effective choices. most people are not capable of long term commitment to keto either way

I wouldn’t say enforced monogamy is against red pill. It’s necessary for civilization. If women are conditioned strongly enough, the odds of cheating go way down.

FTFY.
A community based on life long monogamy will piss all over a polygamous society. Empires get built. Men bring home the spoils of war, the women get to wear bling and their men get laid.
Nobody gets close to fucking over a society based on fraternal polyamory. How could they? Their soldiers can die knowing that their wives are not widows and that their children are not fatherless. Great for survival but shit for doing more than survive.
We are now in a society based on serial monogamy and polygamy can torch that. It's not just men that 'it's your turn' applies to. Give the women enough turns and at some point the polygamists have some attraction. 'Help me' shouts Jane as the Neanderthal carries her off. 'Not my circus' replies Tarzan.
magnificent18 6y ago
Its because of the children he doesn't like it.
In polygamous society the one who is affected are the children.
It's funny how nature fucked up. The whole goal of hypergamy is to produce the potential of successful humans yet the environment also plays a huge part in children development, which gets fucked up in a polygamous society.
Having 1 dad and mom is optimal for the child to be successful which is why monogamy was established thousands of years ago into culture/society and has worked. Having a single mother raise a child, especially male can result in a feminine man.
However!!!!! The biological inclinations have not died away and women are internally batting with themselves to whether they should follow society vs being hypergamy. Hence AF/BB. Why it's common for a women to cheat with a higher status guy.
And then you have the women who don't care about what people think about them (Amber rose, Blac Chyna) are the ones who fuck around and do things considered "bad" in society, when in reality they are acting normal.
They see a guy on the rise and they are attracted to him and bounce around.
RaughKee 6y ago
In a tribal setting long term monogamy wasn't as necessary because the tribe was the family and children were the future of the tribe. Monogamy was a later adaptation to agriculture and land ownership where paternity became more of an issue due to inheritance. It looks very much like we are moving to a new, yet to be defined paradigm where monogamy is most definitely broken, the government and courts have stepped in to enforce financial support but no one has figured out how to give children the emotional and developmental support that a nuclear family or tribal family could provide.
magnificent18 6y ago
Very interesting!
So is Peterson right or wrong about polygamous being bad for children? I wonder if they did tests to prove this.
Going away from only children, it's still bad for dudes who couldn't get some and resulted in violence within society.
Think to yourself: Now I have to take care of some dudes kid, that doesn't even look like and may not respect me when he grows up, fuck that. My individualism / pride is what causes me to say fuck that shit. I'd rather get a woman on my own and have my own kid. Yeah humans are sociable and work together but individualistic when it comes to sexual competition. Back in the day when there were no consequences, shit I'd start doing some evil things to get what I want (aka violent societies) unless I go monk.
Going back: We all know today just because a girl picks that guy he isn't truly alpha. Just desirable to her. I know so many dudes today that have girlfriends but are skinny af. Most of them are just facially attractive but that's it.
Any built dude could physically take any of these guys down, back in the day.
So is it some subconscious biological inclination that's saying "mate with him" even though he isn't true alpha, is it society setting standards or is the environment of social media inflating the ego of a woman thinking she can always do better?
You can be smart, buff, confident, got game, but average looking and still be undesirable over a dude with really good looks.
The frail good looking guy can easily get the initial attraction going to get within a relationship. People project on good looking people which makes them desirable. And in today's society it's all about first glance.
Only places where personality shine are in group settings, schools, or places where one continuously sees the person over and over. Very limited. Essentially clubs are a no go to find someone if you are average looking.

Yes, that's where some of my thinking on this was formed. If you look objectively at our behavior as a species, we are not monogamous biologically and can only be monogamous if we use our higher mind to override our more primal instincts. This made sense in our more natural environment, the advent of technology has changed our environment and we have to create the appropriate social structures to be congruent with our new reality.

"Just bang chicks all day" is the most heard opinion on TRP because most people on TRP are in that phase where they want that. But it's not the only RP advice to follow.
666mafioso 6y ago
Honestly I went through that phase and during that said phase I fully bought into that and saw it as something that would satisfy me throughout the rest of my life (as with all phases). But it didn’t satisfy. It was almost the carrot on the stick and it was definitely beneficial to get my foot through the door and kicking down my naiveties. But after awhile... it just becomes the same old no matter how different the women was. Like RP teaches AWALT. So no matter what different costume this woman came in she was in fact just fulfilling her role as another woman in my life. I moved onto the phase of self-imposed asceticism and discipline and I haven’t looked back since. I still enjoy flings from time to time and I have a LTR who I am not ashamed to say I truly love but nothing beats the grounded feeling of pushing yourself to limits in fields of venture beyond what I thought was possible before. It’s like a battle I fight every day and ending in my bed a winner non dependent of any situation or circumstance outside of my control.

Good written comment and I agree with you 100 percent. But know that that phase made you who you are now. Without that phase, you could still be chasing oneitis or doing other beta shit.
iamnotfromtexas90 6y ago
Thank you.
I get those guys.
But those guys need to realize there is nothing as fulfilling than getting married to a great wife who wants to be a traditional great housemom, raising a family,and then growing a legacy with grandchildren.
(Yes, that does mean she's a virgin or at least had no more than 2 healthy LTRs in her life. Any more and it's not possible to be a "great wife" but that's another post entirely. And yes, she's a unicorn, but authentic traditional religious observance helps tremendously if she's not faking it--though not a guarantee as we've all seen in this sub.)
Few great men with grandchildren think on their death bed, I wish I didn't have any kids and just fucked thots all day.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that option, but successfully pulling off a strong, happy family--however you define it--is the greatest way to 'win' at life when you arrive at the finish line.

Listen to this all of you clever as fuck young dudes that got snipped without saving swimmers. I am going to be an ancestor and you are not.

For sure, but reading through most pinned posts monogamy is a no no. He also believes in finding your other half and intertwining your lives together and working with each other to have a happy life. Red Pill is more about working on yourself and having relationships at a distance.
Personally I think this subreddit is too full of bitter divorced people that an honest discussion about monogamy is ultimately useless.
assholeofthesky 6y ago
that put the nail on the fucking head, too many divorced dudes who married some psycho cunt who stole their money/life/friends and now they blame it on the females hah.
clearly men have lives need to be taking care of and once they do, they get the poontang
Polishrifle 6y ago
That's originally what this sub was about and where most of the hate came from. There are no unicorns, this is true, but that is not to say that you cannot find someone that could provide value to your life. Vetting someone like that has to be vigorous though; That's definitely part of the conclusion I've come to from TRP.
assholeofthesky 6y ago
exactly, there is no unicorn but in reality you can piece yourself together so you don't get shafted or taken advantage of as clearly there are women out there who aim to get pregnant with some dude and then fuck some other alpha once she's had that kid( and therefore leave billy beta with all the bills)
I think vetting is possible but at the same time you can't confirm everything about a chick and there's nothing stopping hypergamy especially when it's natural, it's only fair right?
womans_algorithm 6y ago
So you essentially have a monogamous FWB, you live your life, she lives hers. You can have a closer relationship than that.
UPURS145 6y ago
Yes it isn't the only RP advice to follow and those are the parts I follow. I went through that phase of wanting to fuck every girl I saw and honestly I can say that I could still do that if I wanted to. I have the confidence and ability to do that unlike before where I was just a pussy when it came to women. However I have grown past the phase of wanting to plate women and enjoy being with one person who loves me for who I am. I think that mentality came from my father who always looked down on me for not being the "player" that he was when he was younger. I honestly think that I was coming at that ideal from a weak place. I have grown from that view and am a much confident and content individual.
lastdumra 6y ago
I think this idea that wanting to fuck a lot of women comes from a place of weakness is wrong.
I believe every man has to go through that phase successfully to become a confident man. That does not mean you have to want to do it all your life, but the people who get bored of that lifestyle don't value enough what those experiences gave them.
Human development is full of these cases. For example, there are a lot of things that you need to do as a teenager that you don't want to repeat as an adult, yet you are happy you did back then.
There is no need to look down on that lifestyle, even if you don't want to practice it anymore. You enjoyed it and it was useful for your development. It might have come from ignorance and immaturity, but that's how you grow, by experiencing shit, not by convincing you don't need experiences to mature.
UPURS145 6y ago
I don't look down on that lifestyle at all. Its people's choice at the end of the day, but for me it was not something good for myself. For others that's their decision and I respect how they want to live if that's how they find contentment.

He's in the "bargaining" state of red pill acceptance. Knows it all but hasn't accepted it as immutable
womans_algorithm 6y ago
Monogamy is not necessary blue pill, and having women just for sex is not necessary red pill.
People need to understand that you don't have to bang plates all life to be red pill. Yes, it's preferable, because western women are generally low quality, but it doesn't make it a go-to path to follow. TRP is a lot more than that, certainly not exclusive to it.

diogenes_dookie 6y ago
Just heard this. Most mainstream discussion I have heard of Hypergamy and RP theory yet. Was surprised when Peterson mentioned the word, Rogan immediately knew.
Gabberjacky 6y ago
Having watched between 1:30:00 and 2hr mark, it's painfully clear to me that Rogan and JP are operating on vastly different intellectual levels. Not surprising, given that one is a podcast host and the other is an Ivy League trained psychologist with both practical clinical experience and academic accolades. At numerous points in the talk I found myself wanting to scream at Rogan "you dense motherfucker, let JP make his damn point!"... At least Rogan seemed like he legitimately wanted to have a constructive conversation rather than a so-what-you're-saying-is style witch hunt, and his frustrating ocassional derailing of the discussion with ridiculous hypotheticals seemed to come from geniune inability to fully grok JP's argument rather than malice.
That said, I'm grateful to Rogan for giving JP this platform to express his views and there are moments when Rogan is silent long enough for JP to drop some truly thought-provoking facts and arguments. Will definitely have to watch this in it's entirety at some point.
From a red pill perspective, what I took away from this talk is as follows: Enforced hypergamy would be ideal on a civilizational level, even if it restricted maximal sexual success for the ultra-competitive men JP mentioned who would dominate in a more polyamorous mileu. It's unlikely that we'll get back to the old-school patriarchal enforced monogamy model now that the radical feminist and sexual liberation (AKA unrestricted hypergamy) cats are out of the bag, so the best we can hope for is leveraging RP type knowledge of sexual dybamics to gradually shift the rules of the sexual marketplace so as to reign in the worst excesses of hypergamy.
Now I'm aware that many in the RP community are of the enjoy-the-decline school of thought. Personally, I plan on having children and could not morally justify that decision if I did not simultaneously strive to improve the condition of the world I would be bringing them into. Like JP mentions, the best conditions in which to raise successful children is without a doubt a stable, caring traditional nuclear family. These are the conditions I plan to create for my children as best I can within the limits of the current sexual and social environment. As much as some cynical red pillers might mock this approach, human civilization progresses only through the birthing and raising of future generations, the figurative passing of the baton. To me nihilism and hedonism are not viable options.
All that being said, of course I'm not advocating that we go out preaching the gospel of RP (rule #1) or laying pearls before swine. Get your own house in order (or your bed, as JP would say) before you try to change the world. But don't become so jaded by staring into the abyss of human malice and frailty that you forget that you CAN change the world, if only in your own small way.
washington_breadstix 6y ago
That's the one thing I cannot stand about Joe Rogan's podcast. He thinks he's automatically in the same intellectual league as every one of his guests and tries to add too much "Joe" to the conversation when it should be all about the guest educating Rogan and the listeners.
MMDT 6y ago
I think Patrice o Neal is the best guru for that. Since he's not necessarily about pick up game, more about how to be happy with women in the long run

He was regularly frustrated with women on the black phillip show, shouting and ranting - was it for comedic effect? Seems unhealthy to be constantly annoyed.
Herculius 6y ago
He was annoyed at feminists tropes in popular culture and was annoyed when his own women attempted to tame him and take away his desireable manly qualities. But He gave good advice for both men and women to be happy with each other.
And in many interviews it seemed that because he stood his ground in his relationship, he had a loyal and respectful woman.
FinalPrince 6y ago
I used to think like this but it essentially comes down to 'who cares?'
'human civilization progresses only through the birthing and raising of future generations.' Who cares?
Humanity also regresses through the exact same process. Once you're dead you're dead. You're like one step away from the final freeing nihilism, the truth that living a good life now is king, that raising kids is for women and cucks. In nature alphas just create the children. And with protection you don't even need to do that.
Alphas only get involved in child rearing where the inherent disadvantages are minimal due to social structure aka patriarchy. We now exist at the complete opposite end of this deal. As soon as a woman pops out that rugrat with your name on it, you're done. Marriage, religion, law, all the institutions designed to control this shit in the first place have failed and we are rapidly regressing back to a pre-patriarchal state, that is, a fucking free-for-all, only in modern times the legal repercussions persist. All the disadvantages and none of the benefits. Who cares whether such a society persists or not?
monadyne 6y ago
Anybody with a dick can impregnate a female and produce an offspring. It takes a true man to be a father and actually raise a child. One reason for the devastation we see in our various societies is due to the lack of fathers living in homes to raise their children. Look at the African American culture where above 72% of children are born out of wedlock. "Who dat? He my baby-daddy!"
It takes a great deal of personal resources to stick around in a marriage (especially in these hypergamous times), make all the money that children consume in growing up, and to provide teaching and moral guidance for them as they develop into adults.
"Once you're dead you're dead" only applies to people who haven't had children. I am connected in an unbroken line not only back to the earliest hominids, but all the way beyond that to the first single-celled animals that came to life on this planet. In my son, that line of living beings is continued, and through his children and their children, stretches on until... someone breaks the chain and leads a childless life.
My son is an engineer. He works in a laboratory. His team safeguards America's nuclear arsenal. He has Above Top Secret clearance, so he's not permitted to tell me even the slightest detail about what he does. Apropos of this discussion, it gives me a very, very deep sense of pleasure to know that by devoting twenty years of my life to trying to raise my child up properly that he became someone smart, sane and stable enough to be worthy of a position with the highest possible responsibility. That sense of pleasure transcends any temporal pleasures my male ego has provided me with.
So, while some may be content to roast marshmallows as the world burns, others, thankfully, are working at keeping that from happening.

grandmasbroach 6y ago
Enforced monogamy isn't what most people assume it to mean. It isn't like the government or a third party actually enforcing laws about it.
It speaks to societies as a whole. Where monogamy is the preferred way to mate and have offspring. The society or culture is enforcing monogamy through marriage and social pressures. I would say birth control pretty much killed that in the west.
Before, women more or less policed themselves when it came to slutting it up. They knew that a pregnancy without commitment was a death sentence back then. So, they put pressure on themselves to ensure monogamy as it had the best outcome for the woman and the children.
This doesn't even mention the idea of women gatekeeping sec and men gatekeeping commitment. Nowadays, and this is the really odd part to me. Since birth control became accessible to anyone who wanted. Women took away almost all of their bargaining power in relationships. Sex is easier to get than almost anytime in modern history now. If a guy is in a relationship, and this applies more to higher smv type men. If she isn't putting out on a regular basis, he'll just leave and or find it elsewhere.
This has created an odd happenstance where men hold almost all of the power in a relationship, if he chooses to wield it. That's why I say it refers more to high smv men, and even more so to high smv red pill aware men. Betas will be oblivious for the most part, and would have given up that power regardless. Women don't want commitment from them anyways. Those are the left over, she needs to find a stable guy to raise Chad's kids now, type of men. She'd rather have Chad's commitment any day, and is why we have the term alpha widowed.
Anyways, women have lost an immense amount of power on relationships. However, they have gained it legally, and often divorce rape men. This is why you shouldn't marry. You will lose that bargaining power you previously had.
I just think it is funny as hell and beyond ironic that feminism has accidently created a scenario where women have almost zero power in a relationship, if the guy chooses to wield it. Now we have marriage and birth rates diving off a cliff, and women asking where all the good men went.

best podcast in a long long time, peterson is on fire here. joe is very much on edge the whole time, i wonder why....
all the sad sappy losers pay attention, this man could change your life (but don't listen to EVERYTHING he says as gospel)
he clearly points out that monogamy is a good thing for kids, nothing more on the subject and if you don't see this, you're clearly a sperg.
if you intend on having kids, don't be the guy or cuck that gets shafted with a shitty partner for the rest of your childs life. shitty enviroment's piss all over the chance of a decent childhood, yes you may have never had that but it doesn't give you any fucking right to piss all over someone elses.

BurnoutRS 6y ago
Ive had this thought relating to this, utter speculation on my part but I believe the logic its based on is sound. Statisticly speaking If im capable of thinking something it stands to reason there are many others capable of having the same thought. As human beings we really arent all that different from each other when you get past alot of the superficial elements and condense us down to our basic motivations.
Having said this, It occurred to me a while ago that I could effectively RedPill other people without ever mentioning it at all. If I led by example and structured my words very carefully, that gradually, I might pique the curiousity of my peers just enough that they do some digging themselves and end up here. Ive been trying to avoid using terms that are directly linked to TRP however whereas Peterson dropped the H-bomb
Peterson talks alot about the zone of proximal development, lowering the bar so you acchieve realistic goals relative to your current status instead of being a beggar with the goals of a king. His goal is social reform through education. He's had a following for a while now and if he continues to ramp up his content, he may be enacting some sort of plan to gradually introduce these concepts to his audience.
There is a lot of overlap between the process JBP walks people through and the transition we are all making away from our BP selves and towards Self Actualization. Whether or not he is consciously aware of the RedPill (I imagine its more likely than not) I think it could be argued that this is the approach he is taking. Plant the seed of knowledge in peoples minds, those who understand will tend to the life that springs out of it

I listened to him on Jocko a while back for the first time. I think he understands RP but is inherently beta. He is a man of logic but lacks the true nature of an Alpha male. Doesn’t mean he can’t explain the fundamental nature though.

Almost gave up his career to speak the truth, yet you call him beta. He is more alpha than 99.9999% of the people here
monadyne 6y ago
So, Jordan Peterson makes some angry comments about "compelled speech" in some videos, then engages leftists in a few protests about pronouns... and sees that his ideas have traction among people who are desperate for a change in the socio-political landscape. Within eighteen months he translated that into worldwide fame and influence. He's made millions, evidently, though his motivation appears not to be wealth for its own sake but, as he has stated, to help individuals become better able to meet the suffering that life can bring.
Pretty fuckin' Alpha if you ask me, bucko.
redvelvet_oreo 6y ago
Clearly Jordan is man focused on his mission and is doing well and has a following. Sure he is an Alpha in that aspect if you will but he does not strike me to carry the other facets of being an Alpha male. Plenty of successful leaders out there who are entirely beta.
monadyne 6y ago
And what is his mission? To help other people. Perhaps he doesn't better embody the Alpha male as defined here in The Red Pill arena because helping others is not the classic Alpha mission which is to help only one person, i.e., oneself, and Not Give A Fuck about anybody else.
Given that Peterson's raison d'être is quite different from someone whose goal is to maximize his own circumstances, he has gone about fulfilling his mission with intelligence, self-discipline, and near tireless effort. The result of that is that he has utterly dominated the spheres into which he has placed himself to the extent that his message is now worldwide.
There can be more to life than aggrandizing one's own ego. That's why we don't hear a lot of, "Man, Einstein was such a beta cuck! He coulda been out bangin' hotties and makin' mad bank! Instead he wasted his life away working on stupid formulas - what an asshole!"
redvelvet_oreo 6y ago
I can see your cock sticking through your pants.
To achieve any major goal takes the first 3 attributes you desccribed. Your just putting JP on a pedastal. I dont care if you idolize him. We all need role models. I just dont see him as an Alpha male. Understanding the nature and capability of an alpha male and being one is two different things.
Disagree with this as well. This entire subreddit is dedicated to helping others. You can be Dark Triad or you can be Benevolent. The choice is yours.
monadyne 6y ago
To be clear, TRP isn't about helping others, it's about helping men become men in a certain very specific way. That's a different arena from striving to help humanity overcome their weakness and fear in order to combat the suffering and chaos life can dish out.
And by the way, why start with some homo bullshit, like because I point out certain things about Jordan Peterson, that makes me a fag for him? That's a juvenile way to refute someone's arguments. Just put your points out there: if they resonate, they'll rise to the top. That's how honorable men conduct themselves.
monadyne 6y ago
By the way, I never stated that JP was an "Alpha male." What I said was, in effect, that he has exhibited some rather Alpha behavior: he rose to a position of eminence in his chosen field, and then when he got some traction on YouTube, he carpe'd the diem as effectively as anyone ever has. These are evidence of power and mastery, and should be recognized and respected as such.
Granted, JP doesn't exhibit the totality of attributes we associate with Alpha males here, but then again, this is not the arena he has chosen to do battle in.
p.s. The only person I've ever put up on a pedestal is Jimi Hendrix. He's still there.

Those that can, do. Those that can't, teach.
That also applies to Machiavelli.
monadyne 6y ago
Peterson has put hundreds of hours of videos of his amazing lectures online so that people can, for free, perhaps benefit from his insights. And they have so benefitted, in the millions.
In addition to teaching, Jordan Peterson was a practicing clinical psychologist for many, many years, working with clients to help them overcome their fears, weaknesses and prejudices.
And then you come along and have the balls to judge him as someone who "can't do"??? Who do you think has had a more positive, more powerful impact on the world, Jordan Peterson? ...or you?
(Or me, for that matter, but I'm not the one casting aspersions.)
El-Chapo-Dynamite 6y ago
Jordan Peterstein is a goy. He is well aware many of the deviancy involved in the west, emanates from Jewish influence. The thing is, his social circle is Jewish. So from his perspective, it be suicide if he critiqued the Jews.

Came here expecting to see a discussion about TRP on JRE 1139 and was not disappointed :)
Small correction - He taught at Harvard for a brief period as an associate prof from '93 to '98 and has been a full professor at the University of Toronto ever since. Please fact check before posting next time...
AllTheDevilsAreHere_ 6y ago
To say he went "full Red Pill" is an exaggeration. Sure, he mentions concepts like hypergamy in the interview, but the problem with Peterson is that he wants to stuff Red Pill truths within his TradCon and Blue Pill belief systems by any means necessary.
Some of these reactions here remind me of those cringe-worthy questions audience members ask in debates where they're trying to signal how devoted they are to a particular group. If you've ever listened to some of Sam Harris' live shows, there's always one person who asks something along the lines of "What would Hitch think of Donald Drumpf?" only to be followed by a barrage of cheers and applause from the rest of the audience. They ask the question to get validation, not to encourage a discussion.
Peterson is Cypher from The Matrix. He knows that the steak isn't real, but acts in ignorance because of how uncomfortable Red Pill truths are. As soon as he mentions concepts like hypergamy, some of y'all want to get down on your knees and throw your hands in the air as if you're attending one of those Benny Hinn "faith healer" events.
I would encourage all of you to reread "Jordan Peterson is Not Your Friend" if you haven't already done so.

Because JBP talks about TRP doesn't mean he is red pill. He's as BP as they come but he's intellectually honest enough to understand and convey red pill truths, most notably hypergamy.
His efforts are to warn western civilization about the unhindered female imperative takeover and the red pill reaction. Unfortunately he's too late. That genie is not going back in the bottle.
When TRP and the mansosphere say, 'enjoy the decline' , they mean the same thing.
ddiogenesofsinope 6y ago
I loved this episode. Like him or hate him Peterson just has an insight into the pysche as a clinical psychologist that not many people get to see.
What helps is that he is intelligent so he can break down the ideas he gets from his practise, and really see what is going on, from the darkest perspective imaginable. He's been to the underworld a few times and we are really lucky he is sharing his insights with the world for free.

What is solution? "enforced monogamy" or free market where alphas fux, beta bux
Right now we have hybrid system where betas buck women(IF they are lucky) that alphas used to fuck in their prime

I think it also compounds with just the sheer magnitude of population and vast capability to communicate and recognize other's positions, social media. If its 2 guys in a tribe of 10 seeding all the women its a lot more stable than 5-20% of the ~2Billion with the relative same access to technology. The former becomes a flashing neon sign to the incel of their ineptness.

No we increasingly have a system where females are free to slut it up with alphas and then have a government enforced beta bux.
JamesSkepp 6y ago
We already had that and it lead us to what we have now. Any time you force someone to do something he/she doesn't want to do, you create a resentment and frustration, which in turn leads to making emotional decisions based on "ill do whatever not to do that again".
Do remember that every time you force a woman to marry, you also fore the guy to marry her. You can't force ONLY women to marry in that system.

Now whether that's islam, a revived christianity or something else is anyone's guess, but it'll likely be a culture with enforced monogamy.
party_dragon 6y ago
However, as cultures progress technologically and in standard of living, they have less children. Even in Israel! I don’t think a billion savages can overpower a few millions of highly advanced peoples... and the gap would only grow bigger over time (with technology developing even faster than population growth).
the_one_tony_stark 6y ago
That would be accurate if countries were barriers of separation between cultures, but as national borders aren't protected in most cases, those billion savages erode democracies.

If people listened to the podcast, enforced monogamy as referred by JP is not the government forcing marriages. It is enforcing the idea and values of monogamous relationships in society. At least that is what I understood it as, I apologize if I misinterpreted it.
Auvergnat 6y ago
Not that different. If the American people were to magically go back to patriarchal values, shaming the unmarried mother, then they will elect representatives who will set the morals in stone in the form of law, starting with getting rid of no-fault divorce. But first, morals of a people don't roll back (zeitgeist) and even if it were to happen (say a country becoming predominantly muslim, as European countries will soon do), it will still be slowly undermined by a feminine imperative trying to impose hypergamy.
OneCovah 6y ago
"the government forcing marriages" is reality. With tax law and common property law, including common law marriage in some states, government encourages if not demands marriage. We take it for granted, and living as an unmarried couple is frowned upon.
The converse is government supplied consorts. Dan Savage in the Maher interview mentioned Handmaiden's Tale, a fictional reversal of reality. Incels might demand government give them women in the same way women demand government give them men.
Gender/sexual equality indeed. Women define equality as themselves having all the power, being "more equal" in the Orwellian sense.
PrettyBelowAverage 6y ago
I agree, the more I think about it, the only way to enforce monogamy through societal standards is the same way that having a job is enforced. You're considered lazy if you don't have one and it is overall detrimental to the individual. I wish I understood more what JP was talking about with this point, because I don't necessarily agree with it, I just relate to the idea of wanting a society that isn't so promiscuous, but maybe that's a BP desire.
It's weird, I used to hate the idea of any girl I wanted to date already having been threw a slew of dicks, but at that time I knew if I were in that position I would do the same or if I could achieve women consistently at the time I would do the same as a man.
Where do you find 'good girls'. I know that is worthy of it's own post in and of itself, but I used to always go to bars and party places and realized all of the women were there for the same reason I was - to get laid - except they were actually successful.. Very successful.
I see girls in my classes that I am attracted to, or girls in hobby-related activities, but I either feel uncomfortable approaching because it feels the same as doing so in a work environment, or I come to find out that they are the party girls I was referencing above.
Do I just learn to deal with it? Or do I push past the uncomfortableness and go for it anyways?

ShuWasHere 6y ago
Well JP's "enforced monogamy" ideas are usually targeted against polygamy or open relationships and not marriage itself. Societies where monogamy is the norm have been more successful overall.
MentORPHEUS Senior Endorsed 6y ago
Are you 100% convinced monogamy as norm is the controlling variable here? Consider the effect of "the Protestant ethic" wherein the same religion that insists on monogamy also teaches that God's judgement of them is unknowable. This led to the emergent belief that material success was a sign or hint of God's approval, motivating them to devote much of their energy to work, and to reinvest the proceeds in their enterprise. Thus you wind up with a successful society that values monogamy, but it's not successful because of the monogamy part.

Jordan Peterson Is Sandman conspiracy
FlamingAmmosexual 6y ago
I listened to this yesterday and wish they would have gone more into it. It seems when Peterson brought up hypergamy Joe quickly changed the subject saying, "these are difficult things to talk about." Yeah and they need to be talked about.
I get what Peterson is saying but he didn't go far enough. He said he didn't want laws or government enforcement for monogamy. He mentioned his son and said if he cheated or left his wife he'd be disappointed and not want that. He'd encourage against that behavior and thinks society should as well. That's great in clearing that up. It's aimed at the wrong gender.
Women are the ones that divorce more. Women cheat as much, if not more depending on which study you read. Women are the ones getting knocked up by the "bad boy" and then using lower market men afterwards as an ATM. They clearly talked about it on the podcast but they danced around the subject as if they were talking about holocaust denial. Women are the ones with the upper hand in this power dynamic. Nobody wants to discuss it as they're too afraid.
Hell OKCupid confirmed it but deleted the study.
Peterson also mentioned hierarchies and we can't let them get unstable. We're there. The dominance hierarchy in marriage is given to the women. The system is correcting itself but feminism and society is trying to keep it to where men are at the bottom because of some conceived oppression.
Here's a great example. MGTOW, incels, and such are avoiding women or getting sexbots. That's the system correcting women going towards a small group of men. Problem? Society is trying to shame and even pass laws to keep these men from doing that. Why? Keep them at the bottom of the hierarchy they are trying to create.
Joe did have a point. Jeff Bezos is good at climbing the hierarchy. He worked hard and has made it to the top. It's also insanely richer than 99.999% of the planet. If we're going to leave that hierarchy alone but meddle with the sexual hierarchy isn't that hypocrisy?
I don't buy Peterson's premise that a small group of men, like those in the manosphere, working hard and having a lot of sexual partners is bad for children. That's not on the men. That's on the women and has been since the sexual revolution.
It's not men or the children's fault if their mom wants to slut around. Women have been encouraged to do this and some men have figured out if they put in the work they can be in be in the top 20% of males these women go after. The MGTOW, incels, and others that have all spawned out of this is like what we see with Occupy Wallstreet and capitalist systems. Some are fair criticisms and some are just crazy.

[deleted]
the_one_tony_stark 6y ago
Let's look at this argument.
When men work hard and have a lot of sexual partners:
I think this one goes without saying. Energy is a finite resource and energy spent fucking other women is energy not spent on either gaining resources or raising the children. By every metric and study I've seen, children that are raised by a heterosexual two parent household outcompete practically every other child.
I think the process of assigning blame is a low-grade way of looking at it. I think the men that are choosing less good outcomes for their children are responsible for the outcomes of their children. I think cultures where a lot of men make this choice are less likely to be dominant cultures in the future. This means that their kids are more likely to be subservient towards other more dominant cultures in the future. So, it seems to me, yes men that engage in this are responsible for this. I prefer the word responsibility over blame, because I do think people have the freedom to choose this.
Again, I'm not fond of saying who should be blamed. The majority of the women at the time resisted both the birth control pill, feminism and the sexual revolution. Only through making birth control free and free of stigma, pumping culture full of stories about it and educating 30 or so lifelong gender activists per university across the west has the culture shifted to where we currently are. That's not to let women of the hook about mindlessly defending the current state of affairs. But if you look into it, it wasn't women who started this shit; the groups can be closer defined than that.
Are women to blame for lesser outcomes for children? Absolutely. The divorce rate, most of the time initiated by women, which has terrible outcomes for children. The de-stigmatization of single mothers is another, who's children have the worst outcome of any demographic. But I don't think women are to blame singularily for this; men too have stood by and watched this change of culture.
I applaud people judging the current landscape accurately and doing the best they can inside it. The clown world is crazy enough currently that I can't fault either men or women fully for being hedonistic about it. But hedonism is part of the demise of the culture you're part of and it's forfeiting the future of your children. If you accept that, fine. But don't pretend it isn't bad for the children and that both men and women have responsibility for that situation (and as women don't take responsibility usually it'll be up to men to fix it and putting women in their proper place would be part of it).
Lammy8 6y ago
That's too simplistic and only really indulges men whom have children. Those who don't have children bare little to no effect on children in general (the little being the mother's that get fucked, potentially), I dislike the broad phrasing used as it's a real stretch to say the sexual nature of a minority of men absolutely corrupts the upbringing of all children.
Magnum256 6y ago
I think when Peterson says "it's bad for children" he might also mean that it's bad for the children who don't exist yet (or may never exist) due to the nature of a polygamous society. Basically if you want to look at sexual partners being divided roughly by Praeto distribution where 20% of men are having sex with 80% of women then it's likely a large percentage of those 80% of women wouldn't want to have a child with a man who's not exclusive to her, as well as the man not wanting to have a child (and all the responsibility/cost that entails) with a woman he's not fully committed to. There's no denying birth rates are on a decline in North America, Western Europe, Australia, etc. and I have to assume that this is at least partly due to the more casual view we have on sex and broad hedonistic tendencies.
the_one_tony_stark 6y ago
It's not good for a people to be a minority. Therefor, the more people that choose not to have children of a culture, it's bad for the children. They'll be a minority; they'll be marginalized. They'll have fewer people like them.
Lammy8 6y ago
That doesn't make an my any sense at all. There's no causal effect between men who fuck a lot of women and children they've literally nothing to do with whatsoever. Where's the connection? Nature won't allow for a majority of non reproducers.
the_one_tony_stark 6y ago
It's a couple of things that are connected.
The more sexual partners women have had, the less they have the ability to pair bond (more likely to divorce).
http://archive.is/uzsQg
I think it goes without saying at this point, but let me know if you need evidence for this.
Women who miss the boat go on to become old "where have all the good men gone" cat ladies.
That's exactly what I'm saying, whatever culture (and I use culture somewhat interchangably with ethnicity here as they're deeply connected) has a low fertility rate is a culture that will cease to be. As you said; nature won't allow for a majority of non-producers.
Lammy8 6y ago
1) This doesn't equate to men being sluts. This is an issue of women being sluts, no?
2) Evidence points that way, still not the exact fault of male sluts
3) Surely the fact that most children are born to those of lower intelligence/physical prowess negates your point here? The quality of human is lower (alpha traits) but the number absolutely isn't. This I can accept as being bad for society rather than just bad for children, though in modern western society there's no issue with women getting pregnant from an alpha and staying a single parent/settling with another.
the_one_tony_stark 6y ago
You have to understand that I'm speaking of this of the perspective of how it affects an entire culture/society.
Does that mean that women are also choosing to have more casual sex? Of course. Are they responsible for that as well? Of course. But I was examining the part that men had control over. If men didn't, or if men strongly enforced a culture where monogamy is the norm, then the outcomes for children would be better (note: don't do this alone; then you're the one sucker who loses.)
Society is not a singular thing; there are in every western nation now multiple different types of society competing for dominance, so it's not about what's bad for society as a whole, but for any of the discrete mini-societies. The strongest one will persevere and decide the political future in the end.
So when any of these cultures have traits that are worse for their children, they're a competitive disadvantage.
Lammy8 6y ago
1 and 2) That's supposition not actuality, the scale at which that happens has grown though and less people are even bothering with marriage in the first place. Marriage being necessary for successful child raising, is that true? I wouldn't say so, I'd say partnership gives a greater chance, even if that means the parents aren't together. An absent parent altogether is the hindrance.
That's true, though this issue is meant to be covering society as a whole. I imagine there are discrepancies when you start filtering by race, social status, financial status etc. From the top of my head I can think of Judaism promoting the promiscuity of men and the fact that religion has been prominent for millennia. That's probably due to the enforcement/encouragement of making a marriage work with a lot of family closeness.
the_one_tony_stark 6y ago
The evidence does not support this claim. One of the reasons is that living together is much cheaper and that the extra resources tend to be good for development of children (extra time, extra attention, better tools, more chance for extra activities or homework help). Besides, this is just the explanation of why it might give better results, it's supported the studies I've read on this subject, where married parents that aren't in love have better life outcomes for children than separated parents that report having good cooperation (for as much as you can trust self-reporting).
I agree.
Do they? I thought judaism promoted anti casual sex habits. Hole in the blanket and all that, male circumcision. Various anti-casual sex measures. Feel free to correct me. I know a lot about male circumcision, but only very little about judaism.

OneCovah 6y ago
Jordan Peterson attacks leftists for defending all those incel losers when the simple solution for those losers is to "be a man". That's like the rightists who tell poor people to "get a job". Leftist means support the people, and since incels are the people, they are supported by leftists. I'll meet your rightist and raise you a Dan Savage on Overtime May 18, 2018, look it up. He says incels should be able to buy sex without stigma.
And I'll mention that at every age there are more men looking for women than women looking for men. So it IS the women. Women do not have the passion to satisfy all men.
Monogamy is half the solution. Many woman are happy living alone and leave an equal number of men without women. Furthermore, the discussion ignores age. Women are generally attracted to men older than themselves, and leave young men out in the cold.
Pastelitomaracucho 6y ago
Still doen not change the facts. Dudes need to man the fuck up.
May take them ten, fifteen years. Make take them through fire and brimstone in highschool and college, but they need to become men. Then they can cash in.
OneCovah 6y ago
One more time: At every age there are more men looking for women than women looking for men. So it IS the women's fault. Women do not have the passion to satisfy all men. Blaming men for women's weak passion plays into women's hands, gives them power, and is feminist. Women deny they lose passion. They will always demand that men work harder to arouse them as they lose their passion. They blame the men. Women have weak passion and lose what little passion they have. Female passion is rare, fleeting, and precious. Male passion is as cheap as dirt and women literally throw it a way like garbage.
Men cannot win this dishonest game. Red Pill admits this, and says men should leave women who lose passion, which is correct. Biologically, women who know their men will leave them if they lose their passion will sustain their passion longer. But if she feels her man is committed she loses her passion real quick, guaranteed.
Pastelitomaracucho 6y ago
This does not make any sense. Are the men the ones who decide to look for women for agressively than the other way around. Even when generally, there are more women than men in a population. How can the behaviour of men be women's fault?. In other words, scarcity of sex is felt because men are a bunch of thirsty bastards.
I literally cannot wait for you to be +30 and attractive. It's a buyers market out there for us men.
Nor the duty to do it. Its men's responsibility to move on or improve.
If you are not instilling passion in your women, there is a lot you need to improve. If even at your best, you are still not cutting it, you need to move on.
Sexual strategy is amoral. Back to the sidebar.
The market is how it is. Women are the way they are and there is nothing morally wrong with humans being humans. You either adapt to the market or you die. And all the bitching in the world will not shift the market in anyone's favor.
UPURS145 6y ago
The thing is that Jordan also talks about the virtues of monogamy as well as having a family which is not necessarily the ideas that are spread by many of you. Not that I disagree with many of things said on this sub but Jordan Peterson doesn't really believe in all of the Redpill ideology it may seem like it but in most of his talks he mentions on putting time on one person on one relationship. On this sub I see many people talking about balancing plates and being single and never being married. Jordan seems to be a person who is against that view. He also does state that focusing on yourself is also just as important though i.e. fix your room.

c3ntrifuge 6y ago
“Can be thought of” Well I’m assuming anything I say could be misconstrued and thought of whatever the fuck people want to this it is
Counting your macros is simply quantifying food intake, how is accurately gauging your caloric intake a diet?
How is eating sensibly a diet?
Jake_le_Dog 6y ago
You shouldn't have to count your macros, man. You think caveman John counted any fucking macros/calories? Caveman John could get food maybe three, maybe even four times a week if he was lucky. Caveman John didn't fucking eat every day, and most certainly did he not eat multiple times a day. Even if he had weeks of the year where he could eat multiple times a day, he had to endure weeks where he might've not been able to eat anything at all. The capability to survive in times of extreme scarcity prove to be evolutionarily superior. The capability to be able to eat a shit ton of food at once, and be able to reliably process it, and store enough of its energy and minerals/vitamins for later use, also proves to be superior.
For a minimum of 5000 years we have been able to cultivate our own food. Thus the occasions on which our ancestors could eat had increased massively. They probably never had to endure a week without food, as there must have been something to around to eat. The human hadn't suddenly evolved to eat more, nor hadn't he lost his capability to eat less. No obesity issues at the time, strong and able soldiers, etc. So what's going on? Today we have obesity as an actual epidemic?
1 Too much processed shit. The fibers, fats, and some proteins, are removed from the foods when processed to be shelved. To produce sunflower oil, you need to process a shit ton of sunflower seeds. How many of those processed sunflower seeds do you think you could eat in one sitting, without actually fucking dying? - As a side-note: people could preserve foods long before processing; this involved salting foods, fermenting foods, and I'm sure there's more I can't think of.
2 Too frequent eating occasions. You don't need breakfast, motherfucker. You don't need lunch. Hell, you sure as shit don't need dinner either. You can go on for days without food. Or you can opt to sometimes not eat that fucking breakfast. Try not eating for a few days, and see how you stand it. I'll tell you what you'll find: if you don't pussy out because of the "hunger" after two days, you can go on until you feel like it, because that "hunger" was your "macronutrient" addicted ass telling you you're depleting your short-term energy stores. Even that feeling only hits you at the usual times you would eat. If you're not under 8%bf, you sure as hell will not be cannibalizing your musculature or any other of your essential tissues, not until your bodyfat has been ridden of.
You can eat whatever the fuck you want if you can balance the above two points. I challenge you to prove me wrong, macroboy.
Disclaimer: the problem is much more complicated though, but by following these two points you begin on the right route. Just check out how many athletes are beginning to realize the potential of fasting/time restricted feeding. You can count macros if you actually need to, but first get the primary problem fixed, then address surface-level shit like macros. Addendum: Not every fat was created equal{1g fat != 1g fat}
c3ntrifuge 6y ago
Your point is invalid
5,000 years ago was a hell of a lot different that today. Intuitive eating doesn’t work, track your shit.
Jake_le_Dog 6y ago
What was so different as to invalidate my point?
c3ntrifuge 6y ago
Obesity stems from lack of emotional awareness. People eat because it makes them feel good. Quantifying your intake gives you an objective, easy to understand representation of your daily food intake.
Once you have that data, you can adjust your intake accordingly. And you’re right, it does go beyond just intake as processed foods will slowly kill you. Both food quantity and food quality are equally concerning issues.
[deleted]
c3ntrifuge 6y ago
Yes, hence the core to my post was quantifying intake, not determining the type of intake.
If you’re a fat fuck and too dumb to eat sensibly or put 2+2 together and understand the foods required for humans to function optimally, I’ve got bad news for you.
owlsden 6y ago
No, you didn't say counting calories. Counting macros is most certainly determining different types of intake.
c3ntrifuge 6y ago
Are you saying that counting the amount of carbs, fats and proteins you consume in a 24hr period is a diet?
owlsden 6y ago
The act of counting macros by itself - no.
But counting macros with the goal of consuming specific daily amounts is by definition a diet.
Why do you have such a bizarre aversion to a word for which the definition and usage is well established and commonly agreed upon?

This is nice to see in the open and I credit JP with some insight into cleaning up some cobwebs in my subconscious-- but at the end of the day, his core philosophy is at odds with ours where much of (not all) TRP is oriented towards enjoying the decline and JP is all about reinforcing/reestablishing the hierarchies that have been destabilized by critical theory gone retarded. For instance, how can anyone advocate marriage as a valuable goal for most people when it is rigged top to bottom by the government to enable women to completely destroy a man when she feels like it?
tallwheel 6y ago
I agree with you. JP has a lot of the same ideas as RP, but his conclusions for how men ought to proceed and improve their lives are a bit different. Both focus on improvement, but JP puts too much value on taking on responsibilities whether they are wise decisions to make in today's world or not.
Prison4SideofBeef 6y ago
So TRP is a nihilistic philosophy at its root and JP offers an alternative philosophy that proposes a solution to the decline.
Nothing wrong with either world view.

I don't think he understands the difference between nihilism and giving something a good shake before abandoning it for something better.

He wants to save what needs to die because he is afraid of what is on the other side for himself if it were to die.
one_more_iteration 6y ago
I'm surprised he's getting upvoted at all. If his antithesis to nihilism is supporting JP's position on marriage, that's a pretty far cry from what is standard TRP doctrine.
Besides, a strong man who works for himself can still be a pillar for the community, generate wealth, be a role model, etc... Just because a man doesn't roll the dice on marriage doesn't mean he suddenly values nothing.

Our currency is backed by the cash generation capabilities of our country. As of now we have no problem reaching our ability to make our debt Payments. Your posts reeked of someone who watched a couple conspiracy Finance based YouTube videos and now think fiat currency is the devil.
[deleted] 6y ago
No, if anything I support alternative forms of exchange. Fiat currency is words not flesh, it isn't physically tangible. Your bank account is just numbers like a video game that our collective civilization has everyone playing.
It's not we are simply the aorta of the world's economy. We go down we grab everyone else by the ankle. So the train keeps going. If our currency was backed by our capability we wouldn't be in debt.

You know just enough to be dangerous to the uneducated. I didn't say secured by assets which we probably are, we are secured by cash generation capabilities.

Who is the arbiter of "we"? I have no goal but self-sufficiency and see that as the alternative to standing in front of the tidal wave thats coming. If it never comes I worked for myself and mine my entire life. I seek no fear mongering nor look to enthrall others to any action but the above.
How are we generating a $120 trillion dollar surplus? How have we not ushered in the utopia with that jargon yet? There aren't anymore jobs. We shipped our industries over seas because its cheaper lol. We as a collective, Americans, aren't advancing at a technological rate to somehow flip it around. It's a paper-tiger.

Wouldn’t be surprised if both of them browsed TRP now and then or once upon a time. I remember hearing manosphere type speech from Peterson watching some older videos.
It’s sort of like on social media, when you see people post content you get a sense of who they are, what they think, and what sites they visit. I’m in a meme group and see folks post memes I’ve seen in various reddit subs even some red pill type content.

This dude might be personally redpilled, but he doesn't do shit for the masses, he still refuses to discuss the jewish question.

What is the Jewish question?
MrMelbourne 6y ago
Not going to happen.
One cannot simply, "Name The Jew". To do so would be carreer suicide.

He did criticize MGTOW fairly harshly, and then apologized for the critique at a later date. He recanted his derision, but not so much that he accepted it as a wholly healthy movement. That sequence of events leads me to believe he may have delved deeper into the assortment of men's subs (MRAs, TRP and MGTOW) that grapple with the issues at hand.

Joe Rogan really ask simple, deconstructing questions to Memerson's arguments.
Memerson in my opinion has a problem bridging the concepts of hypergamy/polygamy/incels with having children and providing children with an ideal environment. Not that I find him to be wrong, but the jump from "we are animals modulated by evolution" to "we need cultural norms to enforce monogamy for the children" is too rough.
I truly enjoyed this video.

One rotten apple spoils the barrel.
u/gaylubeoil has a post on JBP and "mainstream conservative values"
Joe is great until the topic is nuanced with a strong emotional wall in front of it. JBP is blue pill because of circumstance thrusting him through his proverbial bog into a blue alpha. Look into Rollo's work on that.
Never meet your heroes.
Edit: But as much as these two are gatekeepers they allude to this and similar communities.

This is a very important time to make a point about individuality. There are many great minds out there who you can learn a lot from but you should never emulate or strive to be exactly like them.
Of course some slack should be given for many of us are desperately lacking in fatherly guidance that we can easily glom on to a figure like Peterson.
Some seem to talk as if "enforced monogamy" would eliminate any chance to go out and fuck lots of girls. Having the greater majority of people be aware of the benefits of monogamy and having a society where, for the most part, children are being raised by nuclear families, is beneficial to our society. However, this is essentially trying to put the rabbit back into the hat.
Todays women are damaged, especially if we consider monogamy to be the working order. A girl who has rode the cock carousel is never going to be the ideal fit in a monogamous relationship like the girl who lost her virginity to the man she married etc.

Yea the chance to finding that pale freckled farm girl with her hair in a braid and a father holding a shotgun are long gone. Fathers are absent at work or in the bottle from their surroundings.

lol alone in my room at 6am ironing my shirt for work and im screaming "Fuck you" to JP for telling men marriage was the answer.
[deleted] 6y ago
It is just blatantly absurd in this day and age. You simply can't put feminism, current legal statures, back in their box once they've been opened. It's like being red pill aware then attempting to revert back. Then you have all these kids down voting me because they haven't taken the time to unravel their internet father figure and who he actually is in relation to the literal world they live in. But you better be making that bed when you're done ironing that shirt boyo.
CMajorThe3rd 6y ago
hahaha this, so much of this. I wasnt expecting to see him as 'ugly' but holy shit im happy to leave my internet father in the belly of a whale for the bullshit he has been telling men about marriage.
I am not fully mad about it though, his ideas lead me to seeking redpill, I remember briefly looking at the sub after a girl I had just started dating 3 years ago asked me if I know about it, my response was 'ohhh stay away from them'.... I thought this because I was getting easy beta pussy only to have that same chick who held me closer than I have ever felt and told me we are the stars together latter cheated on me with an old friend of hers...... turns out AWALT.
Hearing him walk away from the hypergammy issue just pissed me off all over again.
Also, i did make my bed, not because he said I should but because a man must act in abundance.
[deleted] 6y ago
Both JBP and Joe are great stepping stones. They brought me here and this place pushed me forward to others. AWALT will always be there. You don't hate the lion because it kills things.
CMajorThe3rd 6y ago
Not mad at women, mad a faulty men telling other men to be faulty, selling books on how to be faulty and doing talks on the advantages of fault.
He is selling the blue pill with a red wrapper.
Bad_nuggets69 6y ago
I watched the podcast. I remembered GLO post on it and took it with a grain of salt. He skimmed the hypergamy topic without delving in deep since he is too pussy to dig into it and lose face.
Figured it would get posted here eventually.

The last thing Peterson needs right now is some feminist outrage machine 2.0
Bad_nuggets69 6y ago
Strategic move - perhaps.
I love Peterson myself. It supplemented TRP in recent times - even recommended it to my blue bill friends as a “gateway drug”. Still would stand by my criticism.
BurnDownTheMission68 6y ago
Peterson isn’t worried about how he comes across to certain groups like Joe is
Remember that JP came to fame by taking on the fems in Canada for pronoun usage

It's better not to talk about it in public. What don't you guys get about rule #1.

I'm basically making the argument that men need to get off their knees in public spaces. Don't sperg out and plug this reddit but also don't go "It's a dark topic Bucko!"
ThatOneDrunkUncle 6y ago
If every man holds frame, there's no need for TRP and the world is less fucked. Can't really change the status quo, but we can be men
[deleted] 6y ago
I agree its on men and men as a collective, the average not exception, have been the cause.
Hyper_Sonik 6y ago
I value this community and maybe it's in vain but I want to keep it pure. The problem is that once an idea goes mainstream it morphs into something else. The message gets perverted and diluted. Now I hear RP terms being used in public which don't have any contextual relation to the true RP principals. Best example are the terms "alpha/beta". Now every nerd that wins a chess game thinks he's "alpha" and we even have betas calling others betas. I avoid using those terms now because they've lost their context and TRUE meaning. That's the danger of valuable information spreading mainstream. And it's why the number 1 rule of TRP is dont talk about TRP. But insecure men NEED to identify with something, so they look for validation through parroting RP terms.
CMajorThe3rd 6y ago
yeah, women will high jack it and use it for themselves.
the_one_tony_stark 6y ago
The desire to sort out what the hierarchies are like is deeply ingrained in humans, I'd say. Alpha/beta was first applied to wolves and although they've stepped away from using that for wolves, it has gotten into common vernacular and I think it did this before the redpill made it part of the context.
There's no loss from people using the same words inaccurately, just as there's no loss for you from a mcdojo teaching bad martial arts. Valuable information is ONLY valuable in proper context. If people apply it badly, it does not damage your understanding of it.
It does dilute the conversations about it though.
You can't really keep information from spreading when you're discussing it in a public forum. It's an adapt or die situation. This place will meet its heat death like everything else. Hopefully later rather than sooner.
