I found it very interesting. One of the reason I appreciate TPM is because it teaches and integrates the cynical point of view, while going beyond that (being an eagle). Whereas a lot of paradigms such as the red pill are stuck at the cynical stage.
Hello guys,
So I came around these "developmental stages" of naive, cynical and post-cynical regarding power dynamics:

Yes, that pretty much aligns with TPM's approach, and very similar to what's described in the "enlightened cynicism" article.
And you pretty much hit the nail in the head with most of the paradigms that include the cynic and "darker" side to stay stuck in that cynical worldview -red pill included-.
Thank you for sharing this, Alex.
