| The Whitepill (sometimes referred to as the ∅-Pill or Hedonic Null-Set) is a philosophical and ethical framework that blends elements of asceticism (self-discipline and denial of pleasure) with nihilism (the belief that life lacks inherent meaning). It was developed as a counterpoint to the Blackpill, which embraces a more pessimistic and deterministic view of life, particularly focusing on the belief that personal happiness is unattainable due to biological and social factors. Ultimately, the Whitepill offers a framework for achieving personal well-being through the rejection of external desires, societal pressures, and the pursuit of a meaningful life independent of conventional goals. It represents a radical departure from traditional views on happiness, success, and self-fulfillment. The Whitepill has been discussed and developed by various individuals. Notably, SergeantIncel has contributed to its conceptualization, and platforms like Elysian Fields have facilitated discussions on the topic.
