Sounds terrible PLUS I might see an interracial couple. I'll pass

The longer you stay plugged in the more in tune with the network you become. Its best to avoid "reality" as much as possible or you will lose this ability. This allows you to make strategic investment decisions that normies and boomers are unable to conceptualize.

I had a similar experience where it was 10pm and raining and I just walked around downtown for like 2 hours, went to an empty garden and then a nearby tennis court, I was equally mindfucked and since it was raining so hard no one could really see/hear me so I just started talking/singing to myself

>>25954608
i go outside and it is mostly as terrible as a last remember.
sometimes though when there is nobody but the bright city lights at night it is serene

>>25955027
Yeah I think part of what made it so great was I didn't see a soul. Just one bum way off in the distance at one point and a stray cat with glowing eyes stared at me. But when I came back is when I realized, holy shit this lifestyle is so bad for you.

>no one could really see/hear me so I just started talking/singing to myself

lmao, I was doing the same thing, it was just echoing down the street. i probably disturbed some bum sleeping somewhere but yeah the simple act of walking outside is mindfucking if you don't do it for a long time.

>>25954608
Wow, i go out for a walk and thinking how fucked everything is.

Happy that I have a remote job and trading crypto all day + shitposting here..

If you do it with a completely empty brain it's pretty nice. Just go somewhere new and stare at things.

I'm not saying go out and interact with normies, just saying that you need to see new environments sometimes I felt like some part of my mind woke up just from doing it once.

There was also a slight danger of getting attacked by a wild jogger so I felt really alert.

>>25955653
Yes we all bit paranoid when seeing normies and there is even a small chance of forced interaction

What is it about being alone that makes it such an incredibly different experience? Maybe this is a bad analogy but it reminds me of these depressed millennials/zoomers trying to "get work done" at starbucks, because they "like the ambiance." For me environments like that feel totally cancerous.

Something about seeing normal people living such unremarkable and mundane lives, it feels intrusive. Some people you just know have no appreciation for aesthetic, and are too demoralized to realize how unnatural their lifestyle is.

From an evolutionary standpoint, it's not hard to justify increased plasticity (and profound experiences) from novelty. I'm guessing people like us fit a very specific genetic profile, probably more tribalistic/higher in-group preference. The same way we have a strong aversion to the intimate presence of strangers, we strongly appreciate the presence of good friends/"our kin." For me anyway, being with a good friend isn't intrusive at all and can enhance the experience. Oxytocin could be one of the main factors here as that modulates empathy, group preference, and probably even aesthetic taste. IQ also certainly plays a part.

I guess that's kind of a deep read on something so simple but I think about it a lot when I hear other people's experiences and how similar they can be

cant go outside here. banned.

>>25954955

>What is it about being alone that makes it such an incredibly different experience?

For me I think it's the peacefulness and how silent the mind was. it was like a meditative experience. When the cat was just staring with the the street lights reflecting off it's eyes I was just stopped there with not one thought in my mind.

If I'm in starbucks around a bunch of caffeinated millenials clacking away at their shitty macbook keyboard that would just be claustrophobic and stressful.

There's a very insidious numbing effect to being indoors in the same environment. I think I realized this is why it feels like time has sped up so much. The hippocampus is not getting stimulated enough with novel environments. Seeing things on a computer screen is not the same thing.

>>25956299
Isn't
>STAY HOME
the reddit basedboy position now, not go outside?

>>25954608
thanks OP, I go out regularly. Let the hikkis think want they want we both know it helps

Reminder to go outside sometimes to refresh the mind.

Erm there is a virus outside
PC plod is hiding in bushes to fine you
people are coughing and spitting on the floor
litter is everywhere
it smells like poo
Shops are shut
parks will get you fined


Why would i go outside again?

>>25956881
>Erm there is a virus outside
almost no risk of dying if you're young

The world's pretty big, you can find some place nice.

>it smells like poo
move out of india

>Why would i go outside again?
Encouraging Hippocampal plasticity and neurogenesis is a pretty good reason to do it. Being stuck in one environment is like being in a cage, which is stressful.

I will once this is over but I got one hand on the buy button and one on the sell

>>25957197
>almost no risk of dying if you're young

You are retarded

>>25954787
I dont get it why do you hate me and my black girlfriend?

>>25954608
It sounds corny but I like to go outside and just look at the stars for a few minutes at like 2 a.m most nights. I will spot some constellations and planets and see how they have moved from the previous night. I usually start thinking about how absurd everything is and how small and insignificant I am.

>>25954608
I left as soon as I saw your post. Just got back after a couple hours wandering. It's super late where I am, and I didn't see anyone except a few cars here and there. Thanks OP, I needed that.
