Original thread:
looksmax.org
I. The Theological Framework
the post has a subtle inversion of the genesis narrative, you identify the fall not as moral disobedience, but as the awakening of self-consciousness, the rupture between the individual and the totality, this interpretation mirrors strands of gnostic and eastern thought, yet it also finds a strange reflection in the canaanite cult of ba'al hammon, where human and divine power were conceived as locked in cycles of consumption and renewal
In those rites, the self was not annihilated but continually affirmed through sacrifice, through fire, blood, and the repetition of desire, likewise, the blackpill’s obsessive fixation on sexual hierarchy, beauty, and fatalism becomes a kind of digital ba'al worship: the offering of one’s psyche to the god of appearance and power, the ego “the separate self” is not transcended but enthroned
II. The Phoenician Parallel
the post’s critique of “fetishizing one slice of reality” recalls the phoenician genius for abstraction, the reduction of all value into signs and exchange, whether in coinage or alphabet, looksmaxing, at its extreme, turns the body into a marketplace of symbolic capital, each facial angle, bone ratio, or skin quality becomes a negotiable asset in a hierarchy of desirability
thus, the blackpill mind mirrors the phoenician merchant soul, it trades endlessly in appearances, unable to rest in being, its “realism” is not grounded in ontology but in optics, what can be seen, ranked, or quantified, the thread’s author recognizes this when he calls blackpill “ego pretending to be wisdom”, the transformation of spiritual insight into numerical fetish, beauty as currency
III. Against the Idol of Form
when you wrote the “narrow shoulders aren’t a defect” but “a different cognitive wiring,” youre inadvertently recalling the ancient mediterranean conception of the body as cosmological text, in phoenician and hellenistic thought, the body’s proportions reflected divine order, not moral hierarchy, to interpret variation as inferiority is, or as you put it, to “spit on the design.”
in this sense, the post gestures toward a reintegrative theology, akin to early christian universalism or buddhist non-dualism, the vision of a cosmos where difference exists without division, the blackpill, by contrast, imposes a manichean dualism winners and losers, Chads and incels, a metaphysical schism masquerading as realism
IV. The Satanic Inversion
your final claim that “ego disguised as realism” is satanic, should not be read as moralistic but ontological, in the canaanite schema, ba'al was the god who died and resurrected, the emblem of cyclical desire and the illusion of control, to mistake the fragment for the whole, the appearance for the absolute, is precisely to worship ba'al, to serve the lord of division
the looksmax.org logo, which you hint at, can thus be read as an unconscious sigil of this theology, an emblem of self-worship, of the fractured man staring into his own image, the “blackpill” becomes a modern version of carthaginian religion, where the fire of ego consumes the living offering, man sacrificing himself to himself

Blackpill = Satanism
Somewhat AI written, but I engineered the fucking prompt so read it Note that this is less than 10% of the fucking argument Blackpill is Satanism. It worships the ego disguised as realism. Think about the Garden story. Man was with God, unaware of himself, in harmony. Then the snake shows...
