Psychology has no conscience, it will give you the opposite thing depending upon who is paying whom. I do not agree with all the things Redpill believe but I do believe they subscribe to a psychology that more correctly aligns with experienced reality.

| “The Secret” Law of attraction – your thinking has huge influence on the way you’re perceived and received | Your looks, status/wealth, and the image you project are what influence the way you’re perceived and received |

Emotions are points of weakness ripe for manipulation |
