Is Ascetism redpilled?

>>129426477
No, its the most blue-pilledthing one can do. Youll have no outside knowledge of anything going on in the world, be absolutely uninformed and left with nothing to base your opinion on but the dirt and trees around you. Its borderlined niggerdom but youll be at peace and kept busy. Hence blue-pilled.

>>129426477
It is the only way to become the ideal man, one who can find peace with nothing. It isn't redpilled because it shuns politics and shuns violence, yet the works of ascetics have been invaluable to men looking to better themselves and rise above personal degeneracy.

Doesn't religion say the answers are within oneself? There are billions of books, you'll only read .00000000000000000000000000000001% of them.

Depends on what the answer is. Select sages in both Eastern and Abrahamic traditions have shunned degeneracy, taken up meditation and contemplation, and found peace. However, their answers to life's questions, though logical in their own time and place, have little consistency from person to person, being filtered through their own tradition, and have proven archaic where transcendental matters are concerned, failing to rise to the problems posed by a universe that we have begun to see as more material. However, if one thing is certain across all traditions, it is that inner peace is attainable through cleansing yourself of all egoism, through and through.

No. Buddha tried it, which led him to "The Middle Way". Doing things to such extremes is never good.

Hermit is fine, but eat and bath ffs

That's the fucking point with within oneself, that it's not within someone else to be transferred to you.

>>129426477
Yes.

>>129428081
Nobody ever completely formulated their religion independent of their tradition, a product of countless minds and countless years of study and contemplation, if that's what you're asking. That's not how knowledge works.

>>129428363
ffs just kys

>>129426665
That's... a very stringent view on asceticism. I don't think many anons are up for living in the mud without food or any modern comforts to speak of. Asceticism is just denying one's self pleasure for a higher purpose.

>>129428537
lol wut, the hell do you want me to tell you.

>>129426665
Try living alone and meditating for a week. It's hard as fuck.

A de-emphasis on material wealth can be good.
Going hermit is kinda pointless, if you aren't doing anything with it.
Starving yourself, wallowing in filth, self torture, etcetera, is retarded. What kind of religion would encourage you to destroy yourself to no other apparent end?
