The biggest problem with the redpill community is that a lot of them aren’t actually redpilled. They are not seeing reality clearly because they have not fully digested the redpill. Why? Because if you actually believe that you are seeing reality clearly, it should no longer upset you. For example, if you dropped a glass of water on the floor and it shattered, you wouldn’t get mad at the laws of gravity. You’d be upset that you made the mistake of dropping the glass of water and that you have to clean it up. You would be mad at yourself, not the reality that glass is fragile or that gravity exists. You certainly wouldn’t complain that gravity is unfair and it shouldn’t cause glass to break. On the other hand, when people from the redpill community complain that there are “no good women left,” what they’re really saying is that “I’m upset with how difficult it is to incentivize a woman to love me.” They are upset with what they think to be, the nature of women. But if this was their true nature and they firmly believed it, they would not get upset about it. If people from the redpill community were actually seeing reality clearly, they’d accept reality as it is without resentment. Some women are good and some are bad, but they are all imperfect humans. They’d accept that 80% of women are attracted to and competing for the top 20% of men. This is reality. Getting upset at reality is like getting upset that the sun rises from the east and sets in the west. It’s like getting upset that you have to eat to survive. People that see the world clearly don’t get upset at the true nature of things. That would be absurd. The ones that get upset have not accepted reality yet. That is the opposite of being redpilled.

You see reality clearly when you’ve learned to accept reality as it is without resentment.

Does anyone see reality clearly, however?

I think in some ways we do. In other ways, we may be close but there is possibility that we end up being wrong. What do you think?

This reminds me of my favorite quote from the goated best character from Naruto.

I don't think anyone truly has a full grasp on reality. To see reality clearly, one would need access to all available information, something no one ever has.

Even in The Matrix, the red pill reveals the truth about the illusion, but it doesn’t grant complete clarity about reality beyond that system.

To me, being red-pilled means being open to new information and thinking critically to get as close to the truth as possible.

Being blue-pilled is choosing to remain in a comfortable version of reality, avoiding information that might challenge it.

Interestingly, there are no red-pilled individuals who claim to be blue-pilled, but there are many blue-pilled individuals who claim to be red-pilled.

Itachi is great. It’s even more powerful that he specializes in genjutsu which literally distorts your perception of reality. I agree with what you are saying. I don’t think one can ever be redpilled on the true nature of reality. But I think we can have a firm understanding of some realities. For example, we are aware of the reality that contact with fire causes physical pain in normal circumstances. This is accepting reality. The nature of that pain may not be known but the sensation is known through our own experience/perception. You can say that babies are not aware of this reality because they often have to get burned first before they learn.

I suppose we need a clearer definition of what it means to be red-pilled. Is it about being right about something, or is it a mindset/an approach to seeking truth?

Can someone be red-pilled yet still be wrong about reality? And conversely, can someone be blue-pilled yet still be correct about a particular aspect of reality?

My definition of being redpilled is that you have gained awareness of reality after seeing it incorrectly. For example, in the matrix neo learns that the world he is living in is an illusion. The redpill wakes him up to the dystopian world that is actual reality. A modern example would be learning that fiat is the root of most problems in the world today and that inflation isn’t actually good or necessary for growth.

Interesting, so your definition is more of a discovery of the truth, if I understand correctly?

Yeah I guess you can say that. In my post, I’m basically explaining that some of these “redpilled” haven’t discovered the whole truth or haven’t fully accepted that reality. At some point the money printing stops pissing you off as much because you learn to accept it as reality. It’ll never stop.
