      when getting rid of the chip on your shoulder, 1 way is to become the chip. after all, that gets rid of the shoulder... but another way is to realize that “you” ARE the chip. then it’s gone not b/c it’s destroyed but b/c u always know where it is and so will never trip on it.

      e.g. instead of trying to seek justice for a perceived slight by forcing a heroic redemption arc to make up for the previous chapter of embarrassing weakness you can say “ok this story is gonna be a comedy now”

      a lot of good bollywood movies do this well. unlike hollywood movies which fit into specific genres, these movies seem to shift from comedy/tragedy/philosophy/(and musical!). (3 idiots & PK are quite good)

      the “chip” on the shoulder is a token of pride. it’s walking around with a kind of “knock it off if you DARE!” it’s a preparation to be angry that keeps you on constant edge and constantly judging & afraid of being judged

      there’s usually an acknowledgement of this undercurrent of anger. you KNOW and WANT to get rid of the chip but you’re not sure how to do so.

      this is because the chip is a token of PRIDE. it gives you a sense of identity, uniqueness, and value. that’s why it can hide so easily in plain sight. the traitor is your beloved Advisor of so many years!

      the archetypical Nice Guy for example wears the chip of Niceness, striving to become 100% Pure Radiant Joyful Niceness. yet give him a pinch of rejection and watch how he withers and becomes So Angry.

      the chip IS the niceness but he won’t get rid of it b/c he think the chip is the answer to all his problems. like Joy from Inside Out the mistake is to only identify with the Light and the Presentable.

      notice the social aspect of presentability and light. the chip is meant to be displayed for everyone else to see. aside from Nice Guy there’s also Smart Guy, Rich Guy, and yes, walking around with a literal Cock hanging out.

          these “Post Enlightenment” beings will often say sth ultra passive aggressive like “i wanna find the person who insulted me so many years ago b/c that was what made me want to become rich and now i am. i want to thank that person for changing my life”

          a “chip” is a contrived plot device used to justify a specific emotion b/c that emotion is the only energy you know how to use even if it’s doesn’t make sense. like using anger-driven niceness to date or flirt. it’s a creepy feeling.

          to become the chip is to find a way to force everything to work with that energy just like high fructose corn syrup worked its way into all foods. e.g. anger driven flirting requires a Redpill Machine that takes in anger and generates surface level charisma.
