What is the GratusPill?
The GratusPill is a hypothetical 'knowledge pill' that is ingrained in one's daily behavior and thinking pattern. This 'Pill' can be translated to a cluster of pills that consists of other essential pills that are needed for having a happy purposeful life being a male in this degenerate day and age.
''I was born poor, I have lived poor, I wish to die poor.'' - Pope Pius X
The GratusPill has been created trough almost a decade of real life experiences, both tragic and wholesome. It consists of the following pills:
Spiritual
CatholicismPill ✝️ - God and family is one of the most important things in life. Practicing Catholicism should be done daily. This can be done several ways. Here are some examples: read the Holy Bible, pray the Rosary, pray for the souls in Purgatory, go to Mass etc.
Mindset
HumanPsychologyPill 👨🔬- Intersexual dynamics are key in communicating with the other gender. Once you know how the male and female brain works, you will have less stress and more success in communicating with the opposite gender. Especially in this day and age where men act like women, and women act like men, its good to know how this behavior came to fruiting and how to act during communication.
Redpill 🩸- Knowledge about how the world and certain processes REALLY work. As people go through their lives, much of what they learn about how the world works has been artificially created by indoctrination 'services' like Hollywood and Universities. It turns out that most times it isn't true at all. Society creates a fictional reality about what it means to be human. We learn about romance through Hollywood movies, yet it doesn't happen in real life that way. The RedPill can apply to a variety of topics, like dating, politics and masculinity.
Nofap 🖥️ - Movement that focuses on not masturbating while watching porn. The benefits of this pill outweigh the others. There are many psychological- and physical benefits so I will just list the most important ones.
- Makes you more confident
- Motivation increases
- Energy increases
- Talking to women becomes easy
DavidGogginsPill 🏃 - Retired Navy Seal and Ultra Triathlete/Marathoner, who used to weigh close to 300lbs. He talks about the savage mindset which leads to struggle and eventually self improvement. I recommend reading the book of David Goggins called: 'Can't Hurt Me'. In his book he talks about his troubled youth, how he struggled with his obesity and, most importantly, the 40% rule. The 40% rule states that the moment we think we can't do something anymore, we are still at just 40%. This can apply to anything in life, and is a great motivation to keep on going and achieve greatness.
ElliotHulsePill 🕵️♂️- Redpill and Catholicism advice mixed together on his YouTube Channel. Through Elliot, I discovered that I had a mental illness, and improved my mental health ever since. Elliot currently lives in a ranch with his family, and mostly focuses on reading, praying and lifting. His goal is to make men masculine again. A big part of that, in both his and my eyes, is by being a traditional Catholic. Examples of masculine traits in traditional Catholicism are: responsibility, humility and discipline.
PatrickBatemanPill 🪓 - Based on the 2000 movie called: 'American Psycho'. Even though Patrick Bateman, played by Christian Bale, is a sick person , both mentally and during his real life acts, society ignores his twisted behavior and praises some of his characteristics like dominance, looks, status. Society, depicted in the movie as a hypothetical company, doesn't even acknowledge him as the person which he truly is. This can also apply in real life, which should Red Pill viewers on not letting society depict their lifestyle since it's not always for the better.
Fitness
IronPill 🏋️♂️- Lifting weights has tremendous physical and psychological benefits for males. Some benefits are:
- Getting physically stronger
- You will be more attractive
- Better sleep
- Improved hearth health
MartialArtsPill 🤼 - The ability to defend family, Christians and other innocent people is mandatory in my eyes being a male. Also, martial arts are a great way for children to learn to defend themselves properly, learn discipline and honor and communicate with other children. It also will improve physical and mental health and self confidence.
Cultural and general knowledge
Book/HistoryPill 📙- History happens in cycles. You can learn allot from this by reading books from before Christ, the Roman Empire etc., to after Christ like Augustines, Aquinas, Pope Pius X etc.
Financial
FIREPill 💰- Search Reddit/FIRE. Learn how to be financial independent and retire early. Can be used to spend more time with family, give them a better life and have more time to focus on Catholicism.
FrugalPill 🩹- In the end you only need a little to be happy. I used to make allot of money and had nice stuff like a new sports car with extra turbo and other gadgets. But this period was the worst time of my life. At the end of the day, only your faith in Christ, family and the ability to pay the bills and save/invest some money will make most people happy.
