The pride of the Black Pill is to think that you can live off of statistics from people who hate you. People are not made in the image of statistics. Statistics cannot be fruitful and multiply, except by infection. Corruption cannot grow except off of good flesh left to rot.
Denethor thought he could trust the Palantir, and it guided him to the sinful self-deletion of despair.
Since I have been a spectator to this spiral (several times), I can corroborate that it makes a man impotent.
One man I witnessed ingested this pill: He used to date, but then he convinced himself that he was too short to get a date (the statistics said so!). Now, he finds himself alone and unwed, compared to his brother, who is shorter than him and married.
I think you confuse learned helplessness and constantly reinforced helplessness. There's no pulling yourself up by your emotional bootstraps when you have no boots.
They are precisely the same thing downstream; constant reinforcement is the most powerful method of learning for living things.
Very good point on bootstraps. The absence of working boots, very prominently for Generation Z in particular, is a deliberate subjugation methodology utilized by our adversaries on the Left. For this reason, the Company actively and specifically addresses this through employment and business programs through our partnerships.
We must hit every front. There is no place where our young men and women are not under horrendous, continual onslaught.
A dreadful suite of tasks and responsibilities to turn this tide.
The path to learned helplessness is to repeatedly get psyched up -- and then do nothing. Outrage media is thus the bane of the political Right. Calmer contemplation of the evils of the day are a better choice for avoiding depression.

Well said. Content from the Adversary is putrefying to success.

We are fully committed to this sacred purpose.

The Left can watch outrage media on a regular basis without being defanged because the Left takes the antidote to the Black Pill: the Yellow Pill. https://rulesforreactionaries.substack.com/p/take-the-yellow-pill
