Reading and reflecting upon Seneca’s Dialogues is entirely free. If you want more, you can always read “Epistulae Morales ad Lucilium”, which was essentially his Substack.
Not only are there great translations into any Western language (as Latin strongly shaped all of them), it even has translations into "inspiring mindful marketing blabla" by Ryan Holiday and techbro/biohack-speak by Tim Ferriss! Also some guy translated it into Zen and motorcycles of all things. People seem to like those, though I never understood, why you'd not just want to read the glorious prose in all its moral clarity and immortal beauty.
As for whether he was red-pilled and went all the way no matter the cost? Given that Emperor Nero ordered he kill himself at sword point, he sure did! No shame in losing a power struggle.
remote and passive income are also scams that only work for a tiny fraction. Alas those who tell others how to generate remote or passive income and charge them for it.
As for the article - I agree with the analysis, snd Peterson is an ass, and most self help is scamming with a bunch of obvious generalities. However, there is no such thing as fully red pill. As long as you transact in regime currency, which absolutely everybody has to at some point, you cannot be fully red pill in the sense you describe. I think it is already a lot of redpilling to be self-employed, not watch hollyweird crap and eat a lot of meat.
Self employment is an oxymoron. At least here in OZ. You're buying a job with strings attached to a parasitical central authority that routinely sucks the life out of entrepreneurs. As you say there's no such thing as a free market under fiat. The only option is to build and contribute to a parallel economy.
Good article, however, the red pil includes its own ideology these days. For most people it isn't just the rejection of liberalism ect. They're taking in all sorts of talking points that claim to be 'red pilled'.
“As is customary among the Blacks…”
I almost corpsed reading this line. As for the rest, great, great stuff.
That line kills me
What I am hearing is that we must…
DISINTEGRATE THE SYSTSEM
The only real freedom any of us has is to figure things out for themselves.

This article reminds me of the Ayn Rand quote, “compromise is submission.”
What about the black pill?
It's a cope. I can find you a wife and a house for 200k in an amazing safe neighborhood. You just need to figure out remote income

Why do you hate James Bond so much?
James Bond is the reason why boomers and Gen X are so annoying. They LARP after a fictional character written by an alcoholic
What about John Wayne, is he bad too?
Can’t wait to get this assdrilling cumheaving book

Glad to finally find someone else who consciously recognizes that Woke has its ancient beginnings in the philosophy of Socrates.
