Wu wei (effortless action)
There’s a concept that no one really talks about enough and that is the ancient Chinese concept of “Wu wei”. This concept basically means “effortless action”, and is the practice of not taking any action that is not in accord with the natural course of the universe. I see it as the natural antidote to the blackpill. The point is to not force anything in life. Just let things happen. Especially if there is no foreseeable benefit in exerting oneself.
People like Elon Musk are basically making as much as the average annual income each second. He can do absolutely nothing for the remainder of his life and it’ll still be that way. Even if you are someone who is more competent/knowledgeable than him in every metric at this very moment, it is simply far too much of a gap to close no matter how much you work. We all only have 24 hours in a day. It’s not a matter of whoever has more “virtue”, it’s just how it is.

Many people simply think constant exertion leads to greater results. The reality is that most actions after a certain time elapsed will cause a negative result, the most obvious symptom being burnout. I'm not saying don't do anything, but since most things are predetermined anyway, only exert yourself enough to live the life you desire. Anything more is slavery. Sometimes it’s better to just LDAR (lay down and relax).
After collecting blackpills like Pokemon, I realized that I don’t require much for contentment. Anything that I never really had control over, I try not to put my mind to anymore. That’s why I try to not dabble much into politics and just see it as another form of entertainment. An individual average citizen never calls the shots anyway and is all just yappin into the void for most of us.
Most people “work hard” on other people’s terms. A lot of people “sigma grindset” because their values and ideals aren’t really their own but manufactured by the mainstream narrative. They’re a slave to the narratives of other people. You’re basically traversing the path many others have already explored in the past. And you know what else is like this? Non-virgin women (like your mom).
To fight against the fears of our own mortality, we should only exert effort when it aligns with our own internal moral framework and faith, not cater to the ideals of others. Even if we never end up having all the things we want in life, the most important thing is that we aren’t a slave to the mainstream narrative. By staying true to yourself, you are more likely to traverse uncharted territory, like exploring a virgin woman for the first time. But most people don't and explore ones who already have a past.

Some people still think that the blackpill exists just to torment you, and that it’s a “tool” miserable people use to drag others down with them. But that’s an oversimplification. I see the blackpill as a tool that is supposed to make you reassess your expectations and priorities in life in the most pragmatic sense. It’s supposed to be something that helps relieve any burden of unrealistic expectations you had this whole time. It’s something to help “prune” any inefficiencies in your thinking. The truth is supposed to set you free. When you feel nothing, you simultaneously feel everything.
TL;DR: We shouldn’t exert effort towards things where we have little to no say in the final outcome, and that is the concept of “Wu wei” (effortless action). The opposite of “Wu wei” for example is working under someone and expecting to outearn them when it’s your only source of income. Expecting to be “special” and “irreplaceable” by focusing solely on making money and nothing else means you’re a slave to the mainstream narrative. You’re exploring the same path millions of others have already. I think a major aspect of “effortless action” is only exerting yourself when it aligns with your own ideals and narrative. By doing so, it increases your chances of traversing a path only you have done so before, a “virginal” path.

No one cares about your struggles and the importance of effortlessness
Tennis rivalry analogy For any tenniscels out there or not, I’m sure you’ve at least heard of the Big 3 of tennis, Roger, Nadal and Djokovic. For years, there has been debate about who the “GOAT” of tennis is, specifically between Federer and Djokovic. If you can do basic maths, you would know...

Even if you slay, if you are sub-chad, you are still incel
The vagueness of the term “inceldom” A lot of ppl often see the term “incel” as synonymous with KHHV, but inceldom is actually a lot about mentality rather than a state of being and all it takes to have such mentality is be sub-chad or just be unlucky. The problem with treating “incel” as...
