It's not really cryptic at all. Very simple.

Let me give you a small example of this.
Majority of people online are more able to freely express themselves because of no social consequences attach to these situations. If every man acted in this manner they would be the 'alpha' in most social settings, but most people won't be themselves because of anxiety, insecurity and whatnot.
>be what I expect you to be

We are domestic soft kitties that depend of the system to survive, that is why we wageslave to death instead of living from nature in the era of technology. In my case, It worked. I got a lot more time for me due to tec doing big part of the work, I also have some internet small stream of income and I don't feel alienated at all.

- don't go to college, you can get a job in IT without a college degree if you can prove you have skills. and you do

Your physical health and your ability to focus are the most important things that you have, so your daily life should be oriented toward learning about and maintaining them; when you lose either, your life becomes immeasurably worse.

Also, always be in shape. Your health should be a priority in life. Cardio makes you feel great, lifting does as well and makes people look up to you.

So hit the gym and don't do meme exercises you found on youtube. Do basic compounds: squats, bench, OHP, deadlifts WITH GOOD FORM. Don't ego lift, no-one gives a shit about your weight but they'll laugh when you can't sit down without back pain at 30. Also do facepulls and warmups. Muscle is 20% weight lifting and 80% diet intake. You aren't a hardgainer you just aren't eating enough.

I'm 40 and I have a few
1) Know how everybody always tells you to own up to your mistakes? The red pill is you should always do this in your own mind so you can learn but almost never admit your mistakes to others as they will use your admission against you.
2) Don't hesitate when making plans since while you are fucking around, everybody else is executing and the opportunity may be lost forever.
3) If you publicly support someone, never back out when the going gets tough. You look weak and will have earned an enemy in the process.
4) Never mix business relationships with social acquaintances. No girlfriend, family, friend partnerships. Ever. They will get uppity and resent you.
5) Never talk freely about how much money you make or have.
6) Never neglect paperwork or mundane trivia like taxes, bills, etc. They won't go away despite you ignoring them.
7) Sometimes you have to politely listen to somebody else's bullshit. Suffer fools gladly.
8) Never give your last of anything away.
9) If you live in a city that elects politicians "of color", move somewhere else.
10) Don't gossip.
11) If you're around somebody and they start getting into some illegal shit, get the fuck out of there. Don't rat them out but don't hang around either.

That should do you.

Cast your net far and wide and find the most competent compatible person you can sucker into your scheme. If you think about it, what's the chances the most competent person is likely to be somebody already in your circle? Not really likely since you only know so many people. My suggestion is ask people in your network for suggestions. They'll be unlikely to offer somebody up that'll embarrass them and if it doesn't work out, it shouldn't impact the primary connection anyway.

Oh god, this is me right now. Wish I'd taken this advice.

I run an online business, makes about $8k/mo net. Just started really succeeding late 2018 after being breakeven for year.

My gf has been out of work, she asked if she could run my business and give me a break for a while. I agreed, I had been working on it for nearly 15mo straight.
That was 3 months ago. After paying her out, paying my rent/bills and savings for taxes, I am hemorrhaging $500-1000 every month.
I asked if I could pay her less, she freaked out. When I said maybe it was time to stop this arrangement and go get a job, she said she'd leave me for good.

So basically I'm fucked and have to start another profitable business ASAP so I don't chew through my tiny bit of savings.

Let me make an important distinction here. I can think of a few Y-Combinator success stories where the founders were college co-matriculants. Dropbox being a good example where the co-founders met at MIT. What I'm referring to is your brother or your homie you met in third grade or your girlfriend, etc. When two people meet in a high pressure, high achievement environment like an Ivy league university, this is in fact not at all what I am talking about as anybody there has been highly vetted and is almost guaranteed to succeed at anything and you'd be a fool to snub them. If this is you, you have my blessing. I hope you see the difference.

If you are unmotivated or weak-willed, where you end every day thinking "Fuck's sake, another failed day, tomorrow is the day I change everything", don't have the hubris of thinking that you can afford to go without external help, pressure, or even coercion. Enlist your family and/or friends to help you achieve your goals, join clubs related to your goals, find the person in your course who has the best grades and ask to study with them.

Don't lie to yourself.

If you suffer from anxiety, keep an anxiety log where you subject your anxious thoughts to rational scrutiny.

For the love of God, use Anki.

Also, Peterson might be meme-tier when it comes to politics and philosophy, but in terms of self-help advice born of his clinical psychology experience, he's said some of the most useful shit I've heard:

- When you make a schedule, don't make it some sort of idealistic, herculean schedule — no, you won't go from spending 16 hours a day on imagesboards, vidya, and YouTube to spending 16 hours a day studying. Make a schedule with a day that you can realistically achieve and enjoy, with a balance of exertion and rest, responsibility and recreation: one hour's study, one hour's gaming, or whatever. And if you only achieve 20 or 30% of your schedule, don't knock yourself — that's a damn sight better than 0%.

- Value your time and money over the long term. If you do something for ten minutes a day, you're doing it for over sixty hours a year. If you spend five dollars a day on something, you're spending nearly $2,000 a year on it.

- Don't compare yourself to where someone else is today — you don't know what they've been through —, compare yourself to where you were yesterday.

- This is especially important if you're high in trait neuroticism: when something bad happens in your life, reduce it to its smallest possible domain of consequence. So you got a bad grade and you can feel your mind being tugged by anxious thoughts: you're useless, you should give up, etc. Well ... no, you got a bad grade. Analyse it rationally: what are your study habits? Did you apply the exam technique? What are the particular circumstances of that unhappy event and what can you actually learn from it going forward?

Those are the main things I would try to drum into my 18-year-old self's head.

Having a RP mindset is highly correlated with individuals who weren't success with women in the first place aka the 'nice guys'.

But BP folks don’t reject every single piece of so-called RP advice. Work out, don’t be a doormat, exude confidence and masculinity - this is good advice for men in general, and it’s not proprietary to RP. Most dating advice geared towards men will overlap with RP advice to some extent.

Humans are not black and white and i refuse to fall into a triablistic mentality by labeling myself like a fool just becaue it seems like i lean more towards the blue-pill spectrum doesn't mean im blue-pilled nor does it make me red-pill for indulging in some of their ideologies.

BP exists to mock and criticize the more dogmatic, misogynist, solipsistic aspects of TRP.

Nothing wrong with being the nice guy long as you know your self-worth, your confident and not be pushed around by individuals.

>my own two cents
Don't get addicted to things that everyone claims aren't addicting. I have several friends who are addicted to vidya or weed who claim they don't have a problem when reality proves otherwise. Get a hobby where you're producing something, be it art, a project car, whatever, just make something. A bit of vidya or weed every once in a while is okay, but don't make your life about consumption like (((they))) want you to.

Having said that, movie/Netflix consumption is looked up to in modern society, so if you like movies then you can probably keep watching them (alongside your hobby where you're making something!).

Find a style that works for you and maintain it, don't let your neckbeard and hair go just because you're not seeing anyone that day. But if you want long hair or a thick beard, be sure to maintain it so that you don't look like someone who binges WoW
Don't just wear anime shirts everywhere, actually pay attention to what normies wear and copy the parts of their style that suit you. A stylish person commands attention, even when surrounded by nerds in anime shirts

Don't blindly do things just to please people. In the end they will find something new to shit on you for and you will be miserable. For example my parents shit on me for not owning a home. So I buy a home in an area with good value and good schools and cash out all my stocks to do so since I let them force the "no debt" meme on me. Now they shit on me for not upgrading the house fast enough and not having a family. I hate the area, the schools are no longer rated highly and I missed out on all the market gains these past 2 years. Truly cucked. At least it helped me wake up.

Best place to start: thegmanifesto.com

Go through the old post archives and figure out how to read between the lines.

Remember, No amount of “self improvement” books or red pill advice will get you as far as just fucking living life by your own truths and principles. Let your lucky stars guide you, live for the present, have something you’d be willing to die for.

Learn about the great men of history. Art, war, architecture, religion, math

Rock climbing, surfing, boxing

Life isn’t that hard. Also fuck college.

Surprising no one has brought up biblical teachings yet. The truth is until we go back to a fully patriarchal society the majority of men are destined to fail from the beginning. Women by nature are at odds with what's in the best interest of society. Unless you're this literal alpha male or have sociopathic personality traits succeeding in this society is wayyy harder than it should be.

getting your 8 hours of sleep, night after night, 8 hours may be better if you work out or train with intensity.

>Acknowledge and thank people that help you with things.

Placate the females sense of vanity. I work in medical sales for a living and most of my accounts/clientele are women. Sales drastically improved by commenting on a new hair style or how an outfit was color coordinated with nail polish color. Superficial stuff like that goes a long way for a salesman.

>Drink more water and get enough sunlight if you’re not outdoors enough or at least supplement with vitamin D.

Make a standing desk to work at instead of sitting if you’re stationary or jockying a computer most of the day; IT guys, I’m looking at you.

>Life only gives you the things you’re willing to ask for and put effort into.

Don’t measure your worth as a man by how much sex you’ve had or your proficiency at getting sex. That’s your ape brain giving you good fee fee’s for passing on genetic material and it's only fleeting. Balance the big head with the small head.

1. Always play your own game, if you don't have it better start working on it

3. Between age 28 - 30 your physical state changes and you have to start eating healthy

Redpill knowledge means nothing without life experience. I'm not saying drop inordinate amounts of money to have short lived meme experiences, but get outside and talk to people. Be well rounded but not obsessive with your hobbies, have fun with quality people, brush up on your math and science skills so you can understand the world better. Read eclectically and only what's relevant to you. Find your spiritual center and be mindful of it in your hour to hour life. Literally Bee yourself but "don the mask" and put in effort towards rounding out the rougher edges of your personality.

Forget the blackpill and the state of the world. Ideas about the future are far more important than commentary about the past and present. Is it any coincidence the world is doom and gloom when most people are of a negative mental polarity?

1) If you want to be happy, you have to choose hard things. Don't try to outsmart people and don't try to get away with things.
2) Don't half ass things. If you are going to go to college, make sure that you are all in. You are going to spend the same amount of time with your butt in that chair if you work really hard or if you half ass it. You might as well do a good job.
3) Get married (eventually). Until then always use condoms. I really mean it.

Getting drunk every night and fucking models won't make you happy. It will be fun for awhile, but it will wear off and afterward you will wonder why it didn't make you happy.
