Delusional self-belief is required for success against the the greatest odds, though it does not guarantee it, and may broaden the likelihood of increased suffering in the long-run.
This is what I have come to believe in my study of history’s most prevalent men. Greatness is often accompanied by delusional faith in one’s own abilities. The willpower granted through belief that one is in some way divinely inspired or bound by fate in some way can become a self-fulfilling prophecy in the pursuit of glory and greatness.
History teaches us this clearly; Alexander the Great was told by his mother Olympius from an early age that she had cucked Philip of Macedon and that his true father was Zeus, rendering him a Demi-god and invincible on the battle field. I believe this belief, however delusional, was what granted him the agency and confidence to conquer all of Persia without losing a single battle. In a sense this is a form of cope, humans are coping machines for an evolutionary purpose; because having delusional belief in one’s own ability may actually increase the likelihood of attaining success at the highest level, even if only by 0.1% or so.
Hitler was also a cope-master general. His Unwavering belief in his own destiny and ability as a leader may have brought him against impossible odds to the seat of absolute power, however for this exact reason his unrealistic self-assuredness in believing that the Aryan race could never be conquered by an inferior foe, such as the slavs, lead to his ultimate downfall when he decided to open up a war spanning two fronts. Quite how much of a coper Hitler was is demonstrated in his refusal to admit the war was lost until Steiner’s last counteroffensive wasn’t initiated (at which time the red army was already bombarding Berlin and everyone else was aware the outcome of the war had been determined for some time.) In the face of this failure, even some of Hitler’s last words teem with undeniable cope; “my spirit will rise from the grave and the whole world will know that I was right.”
How does this relate to incels you are wondering? It is because this is characteristic of the kind of blue pilled advice that is often given to incels as the pathway to ascension and the reason for their failure. It is often said that if you do not work on improving yourself and making yourself into someone that somebody would want to date then you will never achieve this goal, and this is in fact true, even the most blackpilled among us know that there are at times exceptions to the rules, and in order to become one of these exceptions you must apply copious effort and exertion to have even a 0.1% chance. However, where the problem comes in is in the fact that many incels are reluctant to apply this level of effort due to recognition of the inordinately high probability of humiliation and failure thus they are unfairly branded lazy and fault for their own situation.
I have no doubt that many delusional fools throughout history have been born believing they were bound for glory and greatness only to die facedown in the mud on the day of their battle, regardless of the fact that the very few who made it to the top also had to have this delusional belief, luck is always the true arbiter of success, and faith in one’s ability to succeed only gives one access to this pursuit. Delusion around the prospect of success only increases its likelihood by a fraction of a percent. The world will tell incels that they are at fault for having not tried hard enough to have defied near impossible odds in order to improve their lives, and the world will tell incels that they are lazy for not coping with delusional self-belief and lying to themselves in the process.
No one who does not believe they are bound for greatness is capable of defying the odds in such a way, and for that reason in the eyes of the world asking incels to be delusional about their prospects in order to maximise their chances of success is somehow justified - even though from a purely utilitarian view this is opening the door for far more wasted time and suffering for all those who will fail than it does the fleeting euphoria of the 0.1% who may succeed.
TLDR summary; because delusional self belief will increase your chances by a fraction of a percentage normies will blame you for not coping with it, despite the fact it is more likely to prolong and deepen your suffering through continued failure and rejection.
