Have you been able to red pill other people? How did you get red pilled?
Share YOUR stories in the comments and maybe we can find a pattern that we can exploit on a mass scale to convert people to seeing reality. Thank you to Susan Kulis for suggesting this idea.
If you were recently red-pilled or are able to red-pill others, please tell us your story. How did it happen and how long did it take? Please keep your stories brief and to the point. Thanks!
Note that the list you help make here is a key resource to help each of us red-pill our friends.
For example, the most successful person I know of had over a 95% success rate: She was their long-time doctor so there was a trust relationship and she answered their questions for an hour or more. So the key may be to red-pill doctors first. If you have a way to red-pill doctors, let me know.
I think my secret plan will red-pill a lot of doctors at the same time.

Thank you to Susan Kulis for suggesting this:
I’ve come to realize that before further attempts to red-pill family, I need to start by setting guidelines for our discussion:
1) We both need to agree to read every word and watch every minute of material the other gives us to review, with an agreed upon total time limit.
2) We both need to agree to consider every source with an open mind and based our analysis on facts, even if the source is hated by society.
3) We both need to agree to consider every possibility, and only dismiss implausible possibilities based on evidence, not based on a blind belief that it couldn’t possibly be true. I explain that priests were able to molest kids for so long because their parents could not consider the possibility that priests would ever do such a thing.
That’s the first step. And if they refuse to do that, it helps shine light that their fundamental problem is not being open minded or open to truly researching the facts.
I just watched a video that has a lot of applications to our difficulty red-pilling friends and family. This video was created by a group of architects and engineers who discovered that the official narrative of how buildings collapsed during 9/11 doesn’t make scientific sense. Once they reviewed the evidence, it was as clear as day to them that the evidence didn’t support the official narrative that, for example, Building 7 collapsed due to office fires, when it was a football field away and wasn’t hit by a plane.
These architects and engineers had difficulty getting colleagues and others to open their eyes and review the evidence objectively. They put together a video with some of their questions, and at the end, they had psychologists explain why Americans have such a hard time looking at evidence about 9/11 and basing their beliefs on science. Here are some highlights:
Some people make their world view their mental home. For those individuals, facts that shift their world view are very threatening: “I read a lengthy article…it was a very well researched article…I felt my stomach churning and I thought maybe I was going to be sick, and I leapt out of my chair and ran out the door and a long walk about the block… and just broke down…I understand now was that what was happening was that my worldview about my government being in some way my protector, almost like a parent, had been dashed, and it was like being cast out in the wilderness I think is the closest way to describe that feeling and I sobbed and I sobbed, felt like the ground had completely disappeared beneath my feet…” Dorothy Lorig, Counseling Psychologist
“9/11 truth challenges the beliefs that our country protects us and keeps us safe, and that America is the good guy. When your beliefs are challenged fear and anxiety are created. In response to that, our psychological defenses kick in and they protect us from these emotions. Denial, which is probably the most primitive psychological defense, is the one most likely to kick in when our beliefs are challenged.” Robert Hopper
“’I refuse to believe that that many Americans would agree to be that Satanically treasonous. Someone would have talked.’ Frances Shure, Counselor and Psychotherapist, recounting one of the reasons she’s heard from someone who refused to consider the evidence. “But these are beliefs. But these beliefs do keep us from looking at the empirical evidence. Whenever we say, ‘I refuse to believe,’ we can be sure that the evidence that is coming our way is not bearable and is conflicting with our world view much too much.”
“A feature of American history that makes us particularly liable to this pride is this notion that’s called exceptionalism, that America is this exceptional nation. And that began from the beginning as this country was formed, the people would say, well, there was so much evil in European countries – so much cheating, so much lying, so much using the people for the ruler’s purposes. But not in America. We have leaders that are free from those sins. So I think this has made 9/11 particularly difficult for Americans.” David Ray Griffin, PhD, Professor of Philosophy, Emeritus, Claremont School of Theology
“Thinking that we’re above such things, that it could happen in other countries but it couldn’t happen here, that’s a lack of humility and that’s excessive pride. And so not being able to see our dark side or our weaknesses is the most dangerous thing.” Robert Griffin, Psychologist
“So we need to understand that questioning is patriotic. Questioning is what we’re supposed to do as citizens. That’s our duty.” Robert Griffin, Psychologist
