Am I Too "Black Pilled?"

It’s been mentioned to me both on several podcast appearances as well as privately that I am coming across as very “black pilled” or “pessimistic” lately in my messaging. The first few times I heard this I sort of dismissed it, not feeling that I’m personally pessimistic per se. I’ve always seen myself as having an optimistic flair even in when discussing serious issues. But when I hear it enough from people I respect and trust, I have to take it to heart a bit.

When I take a step back and look at a lot the subjects I’ve been discussing I can see why: vaccine mandates, health apartheid, massive inflation, and the emergence of a dystopian technocratic compliance system that will enslave or impoverish most of us.

Ok, I see how that can sound a bit pessimistic.

It’s funny, because as far as my own personal life goes, I’ve felt nothing but optimistic as of late. I feel happy, healthier and freer than ever before - so why the stark contrast with how I feel about the direction of my own life and the message I’m publicly conveying?

One thing that I’ve tried to stop doing in the last 18-20 months or so has been to stop lying to myself. I did lie to myself somewhat during the emergence of COVID. “Ok, this seems a little crazy but I’m sure it will blow over in a couple weeks” turned into “Ok, well everyone will calm down once they realize this is not at all what it’s been purported to be” quickly turned into “ok…maybe this is here to stay” and later into “ok, time to wake the fuck up and stop pretending everything is fine.” Deep down, I knew I was lying to myself in those early days.

I felt like this meme dog:

In a recent conversation with Brian Nichols on the Brian Nichols Show (look for it next week!), Brian and I discussed how our personal situations living in two cities heavily impacted by the COVID regime (Los Angeles and Philadelphia) likely influences how we’ve seen things unfolding and what’s likely to come, perhaps more so than others who were more insulated from it. I’ve personally lost tremendous income due to dubious COVID policies, so the impact to me isn’t hypothetical or theoretical.

Be that as it may, I don’t intend to come across as pessimistic, or to seem like I’m against anyone resisting, organizing politically, or even “spreading the message.” My main message is to not do those things in lieu of recognizing the potential pitfalls ahead and to improve your own situation: body, mind and spirit.

It’s basically “clean your room” a la Jordan Peterson, just with more luxurious hair and talking like the micro machine man on meth.

I like to think I at least came across slightly more optimistic in a recent interview with Carlos Abelar of Los Libertinos. I really enjoyed this one - Carlos is a legit down to earth homie and it was a refreshing conversation. Check it out and subscribe to Los Libertinos today!
