1. Ego Is the Enemy - Ryan Holiday

2. sidebar from /r/theredpill

3. The Millionaire Fastlane: Crack the Code to Wealth and Live Rich for a Lifetime

Book number 3 has probably the most 'click baity' and the most douchey title of all times. It sounds like one of those self help books or one of those get rich fast schemas but in fact, it's an eye opener and it encourages hard work.

TRP has a horrible reputation. What did the sidebar help/teach you?

[nilved]

Can you elaborate on what you would recommend re: #2?

[legodt]

Is #2 a joke? I sincerely hope it is. Such a hateful ideology has no place on Hacker News

[ohgh1ieD]

You know there are always 3 different perspectives, mine, yours and the truth.

It's not a joke, one hasn't to take all for granted in that sub and 90% of those people are pathetic but there is some truth in the sidebar.

What the redpill tries to teach people, is to take control over their lives.

Don't focus on woman but on your dreams, if one can manage to take control over those things, woman will come naturally.

[legodt]

There are so many things wrong with your post. Women are NOT objects to be acquired as some sort of sick goal or prize for being a productive society member. Women do not exert a control over men from which they must be freed. In fact, patriarchal society most often (and visibly) keeps women out of control and away from success and the kind of sick thinking you demonstrated above and is exalted by red pill communities actually perpetuates the oppression of women. I'm going to repeat this because you clearly lack an understanding of this fundamental concept: WOMEN ARE NOT OBJECTS

[ohgh1ieD]

It seems like you just had that text saved somewhere and you didn't know when and how to use that phrase.

Well I'm sorry this isn't the right moment for that.

I never said that I treat them like objects, in fact I value woman even more since the red pill.

I just don't focus on woman but on myself.

[legodt]

How does your last paragraph not degrade women as goal based objects. This is disgusting and I can not believe you are feigning ignorance to the meaning of the words you posted.

[ohgh1ieD]

Slow down, I didn't post anything from the Redpill, I just mentioned it, you can't determine my personality, my mindset or my opinions in just one post.

Pretty sad this got flagged. Honestly, I would flag the Bible before it. I think I understand your reasoning. While I don't agree with it, it's no worse than Ayn Rand or Timothy Ferris.

[brudgers]

I don't think the books were the cause.

[ohgh1ieD]

Could you explain that further please ?

I began reading the sidebar as per parent's recommendation and I see a lot of valid points in it. Also your post reinforces some points the author(s) mention in the sidebar. You should read it

+1 to number 3. It's been a life changer for me. I'm working on these principles now.
