13 Harsh Psychology Truths - Adam Lane Smith

If you get out of a bad relationship, you should learn evolutionary psychology, about what women actually biologically want from you and about attachment. You should learn those things. Red Pill is, right now, the only place where men can speak these old truths that fathers would have said to their sons, like, "Well, son, let me tell you about women." Red Pill is the only area men can go to hear that now, 'cause we don't have relationships with our fathers or grandfathers or uncles anymore. We don't have male-only spaces. Red Pill is the only area where they can do that. (air whooshing)

You've been everywhere these last few months.

I have, man. My feet are getting tired from running across the internet so much.

Yeah. It's serious. You were on Mikayla's show, and that one crushed it as well.

Oh, man. That one was fun. That one was good too. I, I launched from you onto Mikayla, and I started doing all kinds of other stuff with people, and I started a YouTube channel. I don't even know where I am half the time now.

That's unreal. So the last episode we did was based off a huge tweet thread you had about harsh psychology truths. And I've just scraped a bunch of other ones that I want to go through today.

(laughs)

What is it... What is it that you're drawing on when you pull out the tweets that you put into that thread? Is it professional experience? Is it just stuff that you observe in social interactions? Where are they coming from?

A lot of it's a blend. So I've done a lot of study. I'm specifically a behaviorist myself, with some cognitive pieces. A behaviorist. I focus on the organism, and the organism is always right, according to B. F. Skinner. So if we have a behavior that we're doing, there's a purpose to it. What we have to do is figure out what that purpose is. What is that behavior doing for us? That's what a lot of my tweets are based on, is, "What could this behavior be adapting to, and why was the organism right when they did it?" A lot of people get really mad when they hear that and they realize what their behavior might be doing and what they might be solving with those things. Man, I've had some mad people. I've even had some politicians from other nations jumping in on that tweet thread, talking about how I'm a dangerous lunatic. But you know what? It's helping a lot of people too.

You're a dangerous-

But, uh, it, it pulls from ... What's that?

... dangerous lunatic that was a psychotherapist for how many years?

Yeah. (laughs) Oh, a few. But yeah. I mean, there's a lot of bad therapists. I can't blame them for that, but (laughs) it ... No, it is what it is. I pull from my, uh, that research that I've done, I pull from a lot of practical experience. I treated, uh, I treated inmates up for the death penalty. I treated people, multiple murderers, people with mutilated children, um, plus just people who were in for, ch- like, some political crimes and stuff like that too. You'd be amazed who's, who's in the jail system. I, I've treated families, in-home treatment for people disabled with mental illness. I've treated... Man, I've treated millionaire entrepreneurs. I've treated, uh, homeless people, people addicted to every substance or activity that you can imagine. I've got a lot of experience. So when I'm writing these tweets, it's pulled from research that I've done and experiences that I've had. Are they every, a- every single one of them 100% right in every circumstance, with no exceptions? No. That's not how the internet works. But you know what? I stand by what I write.
