Frequently Asked Questions
If your question isn’t listed here, email me at shepardscale@proton.me.
What exactly are orientation-based vetting methods?
They are the only vetting methods that treat reality alignment, and not ideology, enthusiasm, or even skills, as the single non-negotiable filter. Every facet of GCP seeks to measure someone’s alignment with the truth.
How does The Gray Cell Protocols address emotional challenges?
Simple: It doesn’t manage emotions. Instead, GCP removes the people whose emotions are overriding reality and/or serving as their primary decision making factor. Validation addicts, shame-driven liars, people-pleasers, trauma re-enactors, it doesn’t matter. GCP gives you the tools to eject them without drama.
Can I apply these protocols to existing systems?
Yes, but most groups who use the GCP system find that about 80% of what they were doing was dead weight or even actively harming them, regardless of how good their intentions were.
Who can benefit from The Gray Cell Protocols?
Anyone who intends to be part of a serious group longer than two years and doesn’t want to end up in an orange jumpsuit or on a watchlist because someone talked too much, trusted the wrong person, or let “brotherhood” blind them.
Is this training truly anonymous?
Yes. I don’t need to know who you are, where you’re from, or what kind of group you’re in. There is no video, no real names, and no recordings with your voice. You will join all trainings with a pseudonym or number of your choice. Discord server is invite-only and disappears after the cohort.
Will this get me on a list?
The workshop itself is audio/text only. No rosters, no metadata, no photos. You control your own opsec.
Couldn’t I get this from your Substack articles?
No. The articles are the textbook. The workshop is live red-team on your actual material, custom fixes, and tools you can’t get anywhere else.
Do you offer refunds?
Once the Discord server invite is sent, there are no refunds.
