One of my favorite movies is the Matrix. That comes as no surprise as it is widely known as a great movie and a pioneer in the concept of how people perceive their worlds. And as we all know, its concept of blue pill/red pill is arguably the backbone of this website and other mansophere based sites. But there is one particular scene that I absolutely love in that movie, and try to remind myself of it often:
“There Is No Spoon”
Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That’s impossible. Instead… only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Spoon boy: There is no spoon.
Neo: There is no spoon?
Spoon boy: Then you’ll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.
It is the basic premise of the entire movie. Once you realize that the limitations you believe exist are only in your mind, then you can do anything because those limitations actually do not exist. Now obviously you cannot defy the laws of physics by flying or have 100% success by pulling threesomes cold on a nightly basis (or in this case, actually bending a spoon with your mind). But its amazing what you can actually do if you take yourself out of the mindset that “x” is not possible.
Application To Women
I am hardly pioneering any new thoughts or creating any new ideas. I can just relate my own experience as I had many limiting beliefs before. Lots of them have been shattered in the past few years alone, as I spent more time in the red pill world. Such as that one night stands are pure luck. Wrong. They are a result of some luck, but also developing a systematic approach to reach this goal involving hours of practice, logistics, screening and so forth.
I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with some fellow ROK writers. For example, McQueen was met with hesitation about his 4 bangs in 30 hours article. Some thought it was bullshit. Three years ago I would not think that was possible absent celebrity status. But if you meet the guy, he operates in a totally different reality. I can never sustain that type of energy and being a lawyer does not surround you with hot drunk women like his job does. When you actually see his attitude in play in that kind of setting, you quickly go from skeptical to impressed.
I can definitively credit my last Vegas success partly to Emmanuel’s unrivaled aggressiveness in kissing a girl quickly upon meeting. Having seen him do it many times before, at that moment in Vegas I went for it within seconds of meeting the girl. It worked. Again, something I did not previously think was possible, much less successful. Now I do it a lot more often.
One cool thing you can try at home — next time you are on a date with a girl just don’t answer some of her questions. Literally don’t respond to a question you don’t want to, be silent and then start a new conversational thread. You’ll be amazed that more than half the time she won’t even inquire as to why you never answered her.
Application To Life
I am still being exposed to these applications of the no spoon reality. I have a friend who went from unable to keeping any job to being on the verge of becoming a multimillionaire. In college I saw a tiny thin guy rendering a massive man immobile with a self-defense move. Basically things you see in movies and do not think is possible. But it happens everyday.
A very educated guess would be that most of you reading this site have had several realities shattered in the past. Every time I see something with my own eyes that I previously thought was “impossible” I get a huge rush. I’m very excited to have my realities continue to be shattered in the future.

Are most transexuals male to female?
Why do you want to know?
creative genius often comes with a price …. some mental instability or sexual hang up etc… it always strikes me as strange that these mind blowing people that go to the edge of philosophy, which literally leaves its mark on the world for decades, can’t get their own house in order…. such is the paradox of genius…. don’t allow it to lessen their message….
I love how we can count on Carson D to make some slightly unpleasant comment in every goddamn discussion thread.
Keep up the good work, lol.
Pretty funny. And it’s true.

Brilliant. Also reinforces the rule of 2/3rds in the Sixteen Commandments.
First line of Schopenhauer’s “World as Will and Idea”: the world is my idea.
Good article. Thanks.
One of my favorite movies is the Matrix
Of course it is, it’s one of those tweenage nerd films that appeals to losers.So much better to dream and live a Walter Mitty life than to face reality and fail.Your omega status is encoded in your DNA and you are preordained to be an omega. Just accept your fate, find yourself a chubby 3 and work in the anthill cubicle to support her.
It’s my second favorite movie actually, next to Shallow Hal. Who doesn’t love a good chubby 3?
It was good entertainment in its time. Same with Blade Runner and Fight Club. Only movies, not lifestyles.
Spoon boy: Then you’ll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself. lol
The old show Kung Fu had more profound lines haha
“a pioneer in the concept of how people perceive their worlds”
I wouldn’t exactly say it was a pioneer, so much as a very successful attempt to package metaphysics in bullet-time wrapping paper. Most of the central concepts, such as Plato’s Cave, have been around for a very long time, but are articulated poorly, if at all, in the public mind.
For example, “Ghost in the Shell”, despite being a cartoon, has some excellent philosophical moments which surpass the Matrix (and inspired it), but these are talking-head scenes (literally, in one case), and they carry no tension, and go on for much too long. Spoon Boy, on the other hand, delivers the metaphysical dosage without derailing the scene’s momentum.
Props for mentioning GITS.
“Props for mentioning GITS.”
Seconding that.
Quoting from the Bible and making it look deep is philosophical for you? Ghost has great scifi, but its philosophy is non-existent, just makes you think it is deep when it has nothing there. A bit like how most idiots were confused by inception.
Great Article
One of my favorite lines to really mess with a girl’s head.
“You are just a figment of my imagination.”
Reverse solipsism. Niiiiiiice.
McQueen’s story was bullshit.
Yup. I can buy that McQueen parties hard and lives a different lifestyle, but the body does not support shooting multiple loads an hour after being so drunk you mistook a plant in a hotel lobby for a urinal.
A little BetaBitch such as yourself would make a stupidass statement.
Let me guess…you’ve been with 3 girls in your life?
It’s called conditioning and tolerance son.
Regardless of your doubt I’ll continue to bang multiple girls in the same day and you can live vicariously through me.
Now go play some video games and leave the commenting to adult men.
not sure if self-conscience or feeding the trolls
I don’t doubt McQueens story at all. I’ve had marathon orgy’s on drugs and alcohol that last all night. The problem I had with the story is… why bother even writing it? If the only purpose was to boast then that’s pretty pathetic. Now let it go.
McQueer is full of shite. This kid has virgin written all over him. If he did by chance have sex it was with some skank Ho that he paid $3 to. That’s all the money his mommy gives him
I love it!
Do whatever you want to women in a party atmosphere, let them tell you no.
My personal favourite of all time. The Matrix bewilders me every time I watch it.
How? How would it bewilder you even once. Seriously. What part of that film could you honestly say is bewilder-worthy. There are some cool scenes. There are some crap scenes. There are some good SFX. Some crap SFX. Some primary school philosophy. Some kindergarden sci-fi.
I just don’t get bewilderment. Wait, were you a mormon before and this is the only film you’ve ever watched?
LSD will do that. It will shatter your reality. Or taking a trip to India. Or fucking a hot young indian girl with a tight young pussy. These things all tend to be reality-shattering.

If any of you faggots are from Europe, why are you pussies just sitting on your asses and allowing all these goddamn Muslims to invade your country? Just the other day, 3 muslims walked up to a white Swedish girl and asked her if she was Swedish and when she said yes, they punched her and said “Fuck you this is our country now”.
You white men are such pathetic cowardly little pussies. You deserve to have your countries stolen by Muslims for being such weak little pussy ass beta males. You fucking make me sick.

Big gov’ and corporations have hiked up loan debts and mortgages, then took away the jobs and replaced them with low paying ones, enslaving the ‘beneficiaries’.
T
Lord have mercy.
And then people wonder why women have lost respect for men.
Gov and Corp, the dynamic duo, take away dignity and freedom from men and their wives and children, through the most subtle mechanisms: laws, propaganda, constantly shifting social status, access to resources and education. And the list goes fuckin’ on. Men don’t fight back.
