Nobody was hand-held to enlightenment.
Published 04/02/19 by perrolo [0 Comments]

Many have brilliantly explained what TRP is much better than I could ever do. I always loved the simple analogy of TRP being a toolbox, where you get what you need in a certain point in time.


This analogy is deeper than one could think on the surface. Toolboxes are there for when you need them, once you use the tool you put it back in the box and you put the box in the garage. You only ever see the toolbox when in need.


In some occasions, you need the toolbox but you can't physically have it right there. Don't worry, as this is a metaphor and TRP is a mental model toolbox that you can save in your mind.


Because TRP is a toolbox, you can stay close to the toolbox for others to use, helping keep the tools clean and maintained, ensuring proper use and instructions to newbies. The toolbox isn't a well, so there is no need for you to stay your whole life next to the toolbox and guarding it.


Eventually, you have the mental model toolbox ingrained in you and you don't need to revisit the toolbox as often. This is like foreplay for beginners: whenever you think she's ready, assume she's not and keep going.


Transcending TRP.


When I found TRP in 2014, I was told that ECs and the guys who are at the top of the hierarchy eventually move on from the subreddit. It was common knowledge that after a while, you figure out most of what it is that you needed figuring out and you move on.


Some ECs stay and help the upcoming generation of TRPers, which is why I subscribe to the famous post of respecting the badge.


There will come a point in time where you have used and tried the tools that you wanted, and if you're not staying to help others here, you will need to move on to bigger things in life. While Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs isn't exactly science, it serves the idea that once that you are abundant in pussy, you move on to a higher level of needs.


And this is where I wanted to get at.


What comes after TRP?


Here is where it gets less clear, as you have to go through your own path. Here at TRP others can teach you how to get laid and fit, how to see through the narrative and how to become an independent man, but there comes a point where you need to let go of the hand.


Nobody is hand-held to enlightenment.


You are on your own here, for the most part. This is where building a tribe or network of like-minded people who are in a similar situation falls into place, but it is not where I want to get at.


Where I want to get at, is that here you are alone, but there will be many claiming you are not. You see, I am part of the Manosphere Twitter corner, and believe me when I say that most people who know learn about the Manosphere don't even know that TRP.RED or the subreddit exist.


This is what Illimitable Man was referring to in his famous last article on the monetization of the Manosphere. Some have started to call it the Manuresphere, which is absolutely hilarious if you ask me, I'm suprised nobody in the blue pill came up with it ages ago.


Why will "Twitter Manosphere" claim that you are not alone in TRP transcendence? It could be for many reasons which I don't know, but one of them is to keep you dependant. Dependant on them, their courses and "tribes".


This is not a critique on monetizing TRP, I believe in free markets. There are many machiavellians, dark triads, etc amongst us. Some decide to monetize their knowledge, others don't. I have no hate towards anyone.


When I entered TRP, Dark Enlightenment was sold as the next step. Roosh came up with his Neomasculinity too. A few years after that, it was the Alt Right that was the next step. Some guys came up with Upstream TRP, which I have no clue if it's still going on and I never really understood what it was.


I never bought into any of them, if we're being honest. I believe that there is a next step after TRP, I just don't think many are at that point yet.


The ones who are ready to transcend TRP are, for the most part, not in TRP anymore. Some have become millionaires, others are building empires, companies, influencing in every way imaginable. A small few stay behind and help as ECs and mods.


And I mean it when I say most are not ready to transcend TRP yet, the reason being because many still want to be hand-held.


I have found many of you guys outside of TRP, mostly on Twitter. Guys who are killing it and you would never think they used to participate in TRP. We are all connecting and building our tribe outside of TRP. What we all have in common is that once we needed help, and we looked for it and found it here.


Some are developing their own philosophies. Some are starting startups. Some are running startups. Some are in politics and you will only ever find out they used to be part of TRP if they tell you about it.


Where do I want to get at?


What comes after TRP isn't a substitute for TRP. The toolbox is there, you know go and build something with it. There is a reason why RPS started the tag "building tribes".


Tribes and herds are not the same. A tribe is built by equals, a herd is built around one person, who coincidentally receives economic incentives to keep it that way. Still, not hating on it, it works for some people and that is all that matters.


When you reach the point of thinking you need to transcend TRP, know that it is mostly a lonelier road than TRP in itself. There isn't that much of a blueprint. Here is where your leadership qualities have time to be put to a test and to be honed, as many other skills you have.


Many will try to enchant you with their narrative. They will say TRP is dead or dying, and that it needs to be transcended, only to then offer their purplepill herd solution.


TRP is a step closer towards self-fulfilment and enlightenment. It is not the end of the journey. Beware of those who want to hand hold you further past this point, it is a lonely road after TRP. You can, however team together with others in the same spot, and while you all go in your individual boat, you can go together in a similar direction.
