Believing you are redpilled is ironically the biggest blue pill you can have.
Instead of searching for the actual truth, you have a set of beliefs others told you how the world works.
Books can help, but its your own journey man. But if you want the biggest "bluepill" just do exactly what others do around you.

maybe psychiatric medication and mainstream media but it won't help completely.

porn might help, and weed and reddit and cartoons. maybe play some fortnite and watch female game streamers and grow a beard and get a nintendo switch and drink craft beer and read some steven pinker and listen to sam harris podcast and get a 'curvy' gf that does rollerderby.

See this is the problem with the fucking internet. It promotes these inherently unrewarding parasocial interactions between people with nothing in common but a pathology, whether that's incels or enabling people to act like children well into their adulthood. It's just a delusion. There aren't 'pills', just opinions. If you truly don't wanna hold your opinions anymore, it's as simple as changing them. The real answer here is to read and consume media produced by people who challenge your current worldview in a productive way that you can engage with. In other words, read everything. Read Plato's collected works, then Aristotle, then Augustine, then Aquinas, then Kierkegaard, then Marx, and everybody else. Read literature and engage with its complexity, not with any single interpretation. Talk to real people, laugh at things, write, pick up a form of physical creative expression (music, painting, woodworking, etc.). Exercise, too. Do as much as you possibly can to engage with the best parts of your humanity. Don't live jealously or self-critically.

I'm assuming that by 'redpilled' you're talking /pol/ shit, and not just the run-of-the-mill disillusionment that comes with gaining a philosophical hermeneutic that tells you just how fucked everything is. If you are talking about the latter, then no, there really isn't a way to come back from that without giving up and living ignorantly. You'll make peace with it if you live long enough.

Try to swallow the "reality" pill, it's one step beyond the redpill, when you know that you are like one tiny little ant floating in a tiny little ball in space and nothing whatever you do matters then suddenly everything gets better, you stop to see yourself and people in terms of "us vs them", any political stance lose any power over your persona and suddenly you are free to make you own thoughts and your own way without the fear of being "wrong", words like "aryan", "sub saharan african", "semitic" and the inherent tribalism haplogroups can bring lose any meaning, you start to think and see people in terms of Logical-Mathematical intelligence and the Fitness (Biology) they display and the benefits this can bring, overall it looks like whatever you do works with reality instead of trying to work with preconceived ideals, and life gets easier and therefore way more better.

I did the psychiatric thing. Now I'm subjected to what seems to be a crippling egotism and a slowed mind; however, the thoughts of societal taint and destruction are still persistent. Marijuana acted as a determining factor of my psychosis. For once I saw the means by which society truly operated; the medications helped to bring me down either from thinking more acutely or from not thinking properly at all. I suspect the former, of course, since medications are an enforcement of bio-power in the world organism.

I wish I could smoke weed. I wish I could play videogames and watch cartoons. Pornography helps me to forget sometimes and allows me to become further entrenched in the machine. It, after all, co-opts ones sexuality and causes one to become weak in mind and spirit. But the further I go along the more I realize and become more attentive to my own weakness. I know there must be more to live for. I know there has to be a way out. But it's still hard to find.

Why, because that would be pleasant?

There can also be great relief in forgoing wishful thinking and stopping to think about existence as some friendly and orderly thing in which humans can live happy and meaningful lives and just resign to thinking of yourself as a meatpuppet with consciousness as a thermostat in charge of not letting the suffering get too bad until you die. Life can become almost agreeable if you're not constantly demanding it to be more than it is. Just feed yourself and learn to sleep well and try not to be too bored during your waking hours.

No! There has to be more. There is always more literature and philosophy to read, always more people to talk to, always new places to see and experience. The world, though filled with hate and vitriol, is also filled with love, beauty, and wonderful art. But I have to concede on one point--the idea to not demand, to understand that life is fleeting and to stake out a little piece of ground which one can escape from any pain, and to make it as beautiful a place as possibly can be.

The mathematical-logical viewpoint is itself a bluepill. For Pythagoras numbers had a spiritual value. The Romans never knew algebra, they had other means of building bridges, cathedrals, and aqueducts. Jewish science aims at the destruction of the Aryan world and has culminated in construction of the atomic bomb.

So I guess, yes. If you want to be bluepilled, study math.

Sure, learn to be content with as little as possible. That's fine. But the idea that a man can live without any novelty or anything worthwhile to do is absurd. Even if all you've staked out in life is a patch of wood in an apartment building and a gaming PC, you're still craving new things in the form of videogames--you can't play the same ones forever. And besides that, you'll never surpass a base level of suffering if all you do is play vidya, browse 4chan and wageslave your way to the grave. There are other experiences worth having that'll also induce suffering, much more suffering, but you get more happiness in turn. It's part of what makes us human.

I don't have a job or play vidya and still feel like I could fill my time with stuff that is interesting enough to keep me content for at least a few centuries. Even the internet and books and music often seems like too much novelty, I take regular breaks from them to just live without media for a bit and experience physical reality. I think it would be better to learn to sit quietly under a tree or walk around and be content with that than getting caught up in an arms race between your reward system and the video game industry and depend on that for your well-being.

>There are other experiences worth having that'll also induce suffering, much more suffering, but you get more happiness in turn. It's part of what makes us human.
I think most of these are actually not worth the trouble and based on tricks and social coercion because they serve the system but not the individual. A lot of the things generally deemed worth having are trash.

Which things? If we're talking about interacting with others and enjoying experiences with them then of course not; we need social interaction to live. Of course it's "social coercion" because you're necessarily inculcating yourself into becoming one with the hive mind, to some extent. But what if the people you interact with also hold the same values as you, and have become disillusioned as OP perhaps had? Then that is, of course, a person you'll want to spend some time with.
