NEET wisdom:

'Main deficiency of active people. Active men are usually lacking in higher activity--I mean individual activity. They are active as officials, businessmen, scholars, that is, as generic beings, but not as quite particular, single and unique men. In this respect they are lazy.
It is the misfortune of active men that their activity is almost always a bit irrational. For example, one must not inquire of the money-gathering banker what the purpose for his restless activity is: it is irrational. Active people roll like a stone, conforming to the stupidity of mechanics.
Today as always, men fall into two groups: slaves and free men. Whoever does not have two-thirds of his day for himself, is a slave, whatever he may be: a statesman, a businessman, an official, or a scholar'.

Being honest? Reading up on how to make a viable business.
Currently have 4 viable ideas, and I am reading about how to implement them.
I know I know, can’t “redeem” as a neet since I am “self learning” but who cares.
We neets are free to pursue whatever we want thanks to our free time, while wagie can’t. Wagie comes home tired and fall sleep and goes back to work and cycle continue without a way out because he is too tired.
If we have so much free time compare to wagie, shouldn’t our life outcome be differnt than of a wagie? Shouldn’t we be able to creative and make business etc thanks to our free time?
That’s my thinking process anyway >>46233879
Sure, being tired saps at your creativity and you can’t do anything. We neets shouldn’t be like that either. We should be more creative with our time.
Even do things that are hard, not enjoyable if it can be rewarding at the end.

unironically, reality.
there was a girl in the same elementary school with me who had an arranged marriage with a late 50s guy during 6th grade. 1 year later she got pregnant. from what i heard from her parents, both she and her baby almost died during the birth. after that painful birth, she was no longer the cheerful girl everyone used to know. her family is very poor and her parents literally sold their daughter to get some gibs. it's not that i'm against arranged marriage. also you can breed as much as you want if the population is close to extinction.
just a question:
would you rather have an arranged marriage of your daughter to biden or a guy in his early 20s?

Humans were fundamentally not meant to be happy.
I am finally a neet, i dont have to do anything and yet the depression crept back.
Even if you are unhappy while trying to get what you want once you have it you will become less happy again after time.
maybe im just coping because my life is still sad and bad, but I can only conclude that humans cannot be happy if they are not struggling.
If you arent fighting you might aswell be dead.

start actually reading philosophy earlier, starting with plato and aristotle
additionally, research topics or arguments properly instead of lazily defaulting to whatever feels "right"
more cardio, at least one hour of calisthenics/walking/stretching a day
address health problems as soon as they appear, particularly dental. in fact employ preventive maintenance of your body
don't be afraid to take risks, particularly financial ones
actually, start budgeting early, make some kinda yearly budget spreadsheet, this is to manage finances and ensure some security. when money runs out because you've been mismanaging it as a neet things get hard
try out work, but don't be afraid to just walk out the door if the job doesn't suit. work history can be faked and made up ultimately doesn't matter, job searching is a bullshit test.
don't be afraid to take medication for depression/mental problems, seek available help early, get on public waiting lists if available
don't just neglect problems, most likely they will come back to bite you in the ass but most importantly you may have a cleaner conscience
stop being suicidal, its actually just a waste of time. you are too much of a pussy and too attached to this material reality to do it. just deal with your dumb problems and try to make it through life with minimal complications, some quality of life and minimal suffering

I've tried getting into philosophy for years, but I'm just a Skeptic like Pyrrho. When I found Plato, I never had that "a-ha!" moment everyone else has. Instead it was like he just used induction to make arbitrary concepts (Aristotle especially does this a lot), and then pretend these flawed constructs have universality and can be used exactly like Mathematical axioms. In that sense Enlightenment philosophy is a big upgrade because they cut out bullshit like "There are 3 types of horse", but it still feels misguided.

I think my brain is naturally clocked into believing, "Experience is the only possible way of knowing". Which seems like a massive issue for philosophy. True Skeptics aren't lazy, they're just rare. Hume was labeled a villain because no one could believe he genuinely viewed Philosophy like that. And yet Hume makes perfect sense to me, whereas Descartes feels bizarre.

It's a massive issue which nobody talks about. If our intuition leads us to different philosophies, who is right? Whose intuition is better?

I'd like to respectfully express my conviction is that philosophy can never be related to actual love, wisdom and love of wisdom at all, it's always a wankery of where life isn't.
It's like people complaining about conspiracy theories or conspiracy theorists - the real deal are in conspiracy practices and conspiracy practitioners.
"Philosophy" is "helpful" against the harms done by same vanity "philosophy" os based on - it's a breeding grounds for cacophony of soulless demons.
Whose intuition is better? The persons' that were living in unwavering satisfaction while other people took philosophy more seriously than it is actually useful for philosophy.

What is your guys experience with long term NEETdom? I started NEETmaxxing a year ago and while I've enjoyed spending all day beating off to anime baddies and avoiding normalfags, I wonder if this happiness is sustainable or just what they call the NEET honeymoon.

I NEETed for over a decade. If I could financially sustain it until the day I died, I would. If you genuinely enjoy being alone and the small pleasures of life then you will be a happy NEET, but you have to be sure that's what you really want and that you aren't just looking for a temporary break from the rat race. It's not for everyone.

So a normal wagie job would likely give you panic attacks, especially one with lots of sensory stimulation (like loud noises or lots of foot traffic). Put something like that.

I've worked on the health system.
We treat people like cattle.
Psycologists are usually immature people that try to fix other people's lives while being dogshit at fixing their own life and mental issues while Psychiatirsts look at you for less than 2 minutes and instantly prescript you meds that are very dangerous coinflips (as they can either work or make you way more of a schizo) since they don't do the bare minimum to diagnose you well before moving onto the next patient.
More context on the psychiatrist, health workers such as doctors work on a 15 min paychech method. You make more money by having each patient for 15 mins than 30 or 45 mins as each 15 min segments pays you less if it's on the same patient. 3 15min appointments with diff patients will net you substantially more money than 45 min with the same patient.

Read the Lieh-Tzu and the Tao Te Ching (make sure it is a good translation though preferably by a Chinese academic or professional)

The main problem is with income. If you don't have one or it's not stable, then it's always lingering in your thoughts and putting a damper on how much fun you can really have.

I forgot about that
I think people who are naturally more free-minded can more easily accept beliefs in Eastern religions. And I think a lot of people who use places like this tend to be more free-minded. I have a feeling that a lot of Chan users in general were probably Asians in a past life (for those who believe in continuation of lives after death/reincarnation) because of their tendencies and interests. People here are into things like visual novels and ball-jointed-dolls which aren't popular or even well-known in western countries.
For the more “Western”-minded people, Confucianism would be a good Eastern philosophy to start with, it’s more focused on how we should conduct our lives in this world and what the natural order of things is such as the relationships between family, rulers and subjects, humans and nature.

Normalfags are like that. You can see them complain about the term ¨normie¨ not wanting to recognize themselves as people who simply follow the life script word for word without 2nd guessing themselves.
They like to think of others using the terms as bitter or close minded but there are people who are actually different and don't have the same shared experiences that make someone a normalfag. Artists who appeal to a niche or use pseudonyms, for example. That's a reason why otaku culture is appealing to me.

I like how they see the world as ¨nature¨ and their views on the ego. I fall asleep reading books and playing visual novels so I try to search for visual mediums about it these days. Not exactly philosophy but this documentary works as an introduction to their way of thinking, NHK documentaries and begin Japanology are good too, some episodes are about literary authors I've read before.

I also like that they see the world as nature and humans as a part of nature, Taoism especially emphasizes being truly one’s self based on one’s own nature rather than trying to be something they’re not, that humans should be in tune with their individual natures. I think Taoism is good because it says that the way that everybody should be is in harmony with nature, which from what I have learned about Taoism includes behaving according to one’s individual temperament and nature, rather than advocating for or trying to enforce a specific way of being that may be in conflict with some people’s individual beliefs and temperaments
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pu_(Taoism)

What you sent also reminds me of why I believe a lot of Chan users were Asian in a past life, because a lot of peoples individual temperament/nature is very different than average Western behaviors, and a lot of people’s natural likes like visual novels, dietary preferences, certain geographical regions, and spiritual and philosophical beliefs and beliefs of ideal social behaviors could be imprints from past lives. I know that a lot of people might not believe in this, but it makes sense to me since I grew up in with that religious belief, and I also notice some of those things in myself and others. I also notice that some of my friends are similar. I even have a friend who as a kid people said he looks like this one Korean celebrity and he was always into Korean things as he got older. I have another friend who went to Japan and didn’t like it there but got along super well with Koreans in Korea and the funny thing is I also thought this other friend looks like a different race version of this Korean celebrity I know of.
In a Chinese fantasy drama I watched (Legend Of The White Snake) there was actually a scene where a girl thinks that a doctor is lying about being the reincarnation of someone else and she mentions that he doesn’t look like the person she claims he’s lying about being the reincarnation of. I know a lot of Western people here will disagree with me but I grew up having these beliefs and am very interested in spirituality these days since it is one of the only things I am interested in anymore

my partner (obligatory all NEETs must be kiss-less virgin part) is a taoist yet works while im a buddhist but jobless for at least 6 years (the irony in "life is suffering" but i let someone else do all the suffering is not lost on me) is really funny to me. i dont believe im a chan-user because i was asian in a past life but more because im asian in THIS life and i can see what caused my bloodline to jump to this country instead of the previous/homeland you could say im particularly spiritual but im also not /jp/ original epic bloodline but plenty of people from my country will try hard to fit in in japan, if it makes any difference. genuinely just makes me laugh over how much westerners try to put every "asian trait" into one bag and shake it up and decide what kind of person they're going to be. to think in 1951 before i was born my bloodline already existed in japan but i was just too late to be born there makes me laugh.

I guess that's why they used wood for the street interview. I have a vivid memory of a teacher asking a question to the class and threatening us with homework if nobody could answer her. I never felt the need to stand out or raise my hand until then. There was a small silence before and after my answer.
>genuinely just makes me laugh over how much westerners try to put every "asian trait" into one bag and shake it up and decide what kind of person they're going to be.
It's not like we are not aware of this, I think It's safe to assume people on this board are aware of the dangers of being a weeb. I'm personally more fascinated with collectivist nations as a whole. It's a ¨take what you want and leave the rest¨ thing for me. The documentary I linked is also black and white but that goes without saying. I like Taoism, reading Zhuangzi helps me with overthinking.

>im also not /jp/ original epic bloodline but plenty of people from my country will try hard to fit in in japan
>I think I ended up letting being fascinated by Taoism affect how I perceive Asian people
Being raised in a collectivist culture vs being raised in the west (individualistic) helps to explain this type of pro-social behavior better imo. It's always good to demystify things like that (not like race doesn't have anything to do with it but that's another dangerous topic).
When I watch Japanese youtube videos, the things they say and take for granted surprise me sometimes, like men calling things ¨cute¨ often and not being judged for it. Falling in line, not being too abrasive and not standing out is more rewarded by society there but they are still humans, look at this short

no hate to people who do the asian trait shuffle, since it got quoted twice, i just enjoy my identity as a weeb without getting it mixed into my personality too much. the farthest i'll personally go is to say i want to live in japan because i can more easily get merch and go to events. people can enjoy the cultures and ways of life they don't personally experience, just like how i really find interest in people who live rural or off the grid since ive been a city dweller my whole life, but obviously its not who i am, i just picture myself thriving in their situations. i can see where thats mirrored in your guys perception of spirituality (and i respect it)

I speculate I may have been a Chinese Taoist in a past life, when I was a child I had very vivid dreams about China, and I created a persona called "Xian" where I pretended to be Chinese. I had no idea what the word meant as a child. China and Taoism evokes very strong feelings in me with no apparent cause, as well as the rest of East Asia.

Hahahaha that is really interesting. When I was 18 I randomly had a dream that I was crying on the front balcony of an apartment building in Asia and it was really weird like it was from both perspectives of two people, but there was a guy and the guy asked “why did you keep the baby?” And the girl (I think I saw from the perspective of the girl when she answered also) said something along the lines of “I wanted a chance to be the mother I never had”. There were other things I won’t get into but it ended with me from the perspective of the guy about to get stabbed by someone (not the girl) and I woke up. I noticed since I was a kid that my parents were never fit for each other and I always felt alienated from them and never got along with them fully. But I don’t want to believe in karma because I think it’s cruel
I like Taoism and Confucianism’s concept and explanation of Heaven (as a force or place or both which influences and/or controls events in this world) rewarding and punishing, rather than a force that just completely doesn’t care about how cruelly it can affect people and even affecting children to suffer.
I also remember when I was like 10 one day I just decided I wanted to watch sword art online of all things back when it was new and I really wanted straight bushy bangs like Asian guys back then had. And then watched Nichijou when I was 11. I even tried to learn Japanese but gave up but I still remember memorizing two characters lol
That’s another reason I say that /jp/ type of Chan users might have been Asian or Japanese in a past life because people on here literally learn Japanese so they can have access to more media from Japan, it’s serious to learn an entire new language especially if you’re not immediately connected to the language by your race (in this life) or location

This is exactly how some things are for me with Japan
I read the first chapter of the Higurashi VN recently and it’s one of the most relaxing things I’ve ever read
The backgrounds of nature which are real photographs with a filter over them, the rural mountain setting, and the early 00’s Ryukishi07 art style really make me happy and feel relaxing. And the bgm and actual sound effect of the cicadas humming. It just makes me feel peaceful in a unique way. Same with the scene in the episode of Evangelion where Shinji runs away by himself on the train and wanders around by himself for a bit before coming back home. I like that one because of how my bad family situation as a kid affected me, so I like the idea of just running away and being alone in peace. I’ve had dreams of running away from my house because of various situations since I was a child and moved into it.
I also noticed that my father for some reason knows an unusual amount of things about Korea, he once said they used to make people who were caught riding horses drunk ride on a donkey when traveling instead for a certain amount of time as a punishment so people would know what they did, and he even watched Korean dramas back then before they became big in western countries despite being a super traditional type macho guy. And he even said he liked some K-pop lol
And my Mom liked making nurungji (scorched rice) before she knew that it was actually a dish that people make

This is a thing I’ve heard too even from my Mom
Something like, everything already exists, and you discover certain things when you are searching for something based on a certain kind of feeling or feelings or sensations and perceptions.
Also the characters were so nice too. Satoko’s laugh is adorable like how someone’s own child would make them smile. I love how Rena called things “kyute” too. Higurashi makes me want a slice of life version where nothing bad happens and they’re all just happy. Which makes me think of duality, because knowing that it’s a horror story makes me appreciate the personalities of the characters more in a way that makes me think it would be nice for there to be a happy, slice-of-life version of the story with the same characters.
The Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi spoke about duality (or non-duality) but I personally can’t really comprehend his perspectives of it. But I saw someone on another board write about Taoism saying something like “Why do things exist? Because there are things that don’t exist.” Meaning that the two have to exist together because one can’t exist alone, because there would be nothing to compare them to if they existed alone, like how happiness exists and is known as happiness because sadness also exists which can be compared to happiness. This makes sense to me because everything has to have a “limit” where it becomes defined, I think because otherwise all things would be one connected whole and we wouldn’t be able to define anything. But also Zhuangzi said that “all things are one”. So is that what he meant? Was he perceiving things as a connected whole and I’m perceiving things as individual?

I keep lurking 5chan. Something I've noticed: Japanese people are obsessed with age.
Objectively, the life of a 25 year old salaryman isn't that different from a 55 year old salaryman. In fact, when Japanese people are young they don't even do a lot of "young person things". Even when young people hang out, they don't do drugs, they barely drink, they barely party or go on adventures, they stay quiet and well-mannered. You could essentially "party" like 20 year old Japanese people do as a 60 year-old man, and be totally fine. Why are they scared of growing old?

I think Japanese people, and increasingly Westerners, feel an immense "external locus of control". They feel very deeply that their happiness is beyond their control. Youth is the one constant joy they have, so when it ends, they will truly have nothing. It's not age they fear, but their own powerlessness.

And this is easy to criticize, but I understand them. Basically every part of the world is constantly telling us: Accept your fate. Be passive. You cannot change anything. Think about why they have reaction faces on Japanese TV at all times -- you're relieved from the burden of even thinking.

It's just social programming. It's convenient for you, me, and Takeshi to believe we have no free agency even though we really do. Society is not Confucius, it's a Picaresque. Movers and shakers have never worried about their age. In Africa, old age is a blessing.

Normal people don't try to get a diagnosis. It's actually a dumb thing to do if you want to make money compared to getting a decent job. A diagnosis prevents you from doing that if they do background checks. You can get more money than what the goverment can give you working part time depending on where you live.
I receive neetbux but it's not enough to live on my own, having money is nice but I know it will be harder to get a job when I'm forced to work. I already tried and failed to get one when I used to think it would solve my problems like other neets, now I'm just waiting for the inevitable.

therapy only works for those who don't actually have any real problems. they go into it thinking "yeah, this will solve my problem", and then give the testimonial "i was so broken, but this therapist really helped me find my way :)"
a therapist is there to make money, it's their job. they don't care about your issues enough to actually want to help you fix them. their job is to put you through a routine that has worked for those aforementioned people who don't actually have any problem.
this method inevitably fails for people who have actual mental health problems, or even makes things worse, at which point the therapist will try to make an excuse not to continue working with you, either they'll give you some impossible task to complete, or ignore you and state that you failed to engage, all so they can move onto someone who doesn't have any real problem so they can continue gaining a good reputation and make more money.

problem is how do you define "mental illness"? depression could easily be understood as the mind adapting to its environment, meaning people who suffer from depression are really just living shit lives.

You don't have real depression if they worked for you. Your suffering was probably self-imposed or you are more susceptible to them (or placebo).
Meds aren't a good long term (lifelong) solution. I personally stopped taking them because they were making fat and my life wasn't getting better. It works for the ¨I don't want to die but I don't want to live¨ crowd. Before depression memes were common, being depressed was almost synonymous with being suicidal.

and a real depressed person's mind wouldn't budge if you just give them meds, their life's circumstances (real trauma) and the people around them prevent them from thinking positively even if they are feeling good enough to get ouf bed and go outside. real depression doesn't happen ¨just because¨.

It's about scheduling yourself and making your own habits to feel fulfilled instead of having someone else do that for you, the great part is being able to sleep whenever you want.

you're content being a neet because you are aimless. its normal. when you're a young neet you're aimless. when you're an old neet you're just physically ill. the answer is not "getting a job". working to live is miserable, even normies get that. the answer is to become absorbed by a purpose. its very hard to find a purpose when you're young because from childhood you a trained to become a jobseeker. jobseekers are cattle, but not everyone working is a jobseeker.

what's your purpose? don't know? you may never know. most normies' purpose is to raise their children.

I still find pleasure in the simple things some days but every year im less and less happy
I am afraid I know how its gonna end
A slow fall into meaninglessness, every year I care less and less about things and just feel worse and worse
I am currently smoking and drinking and engaging in every other vice in a futile attempt to just feel as I once did even though I know in the long run im just hurting myself more and more
Working is hell and neetdom is limbo

Sucks how most NEET discussions get taken over by self loathing incels and their depression blogposts. Not working has never really bothered me to be honest. There's a dualism between normalniggers who want you to sell your soul to wageslave and conform like them, and incels who are resentful that they can't be like them. A long time ago I went on wizchan, but that got taken over by incels too unfortunately.

not that anon. I'm in a similar situation, Cureently, I'm exercising and planning to get a part time job for the first time and become more of a ¨freeter¨ (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeter)) instead of a full time neet later this year. I also picked up smoking, drinking and other vices but stopped because I decided to prepare for the inevitable and work on my appearance to fit in at work better with normies when I have to deal with them (I'm not a sperg but I never make a good first impression).
I think every neet should try to be grateful and enjoy themselves while they have free time instead of worrying about the future if they can.

What normalfags call "purpose" is just another version of pleasure seeking. They want kids because they feel good about it. If you're content and not depressed you don't need to feel forced into fulfilling a purpose imposed on you by normalfags (with the actual aim of making you useful to them)

Because that response is merely proving his point, See >>46261934 . People with kids don't like to admit they might have made the wrong life choices. That's why I don't trust them when they say ¨It's worth it¨, that's literal cope to gaslight themselves and others, neet or not.

yeah i know. actually i'm also a citizen of a western european country but i was born and raised in america and got my cock cut up as a newborn because my parents didn't love me enough. the first time i went back to the old country, i was taken aback by how much happier people there seemed. it became abundantly clear to me that i was raised in a culture wrought with mental illness. a lot of it probably comes from the trauma of genital mutilation, but also probably a lot of other stuff.

i've thought about moving there to get on bux. but i am an autistic neet so moving on my own to a new country with no money isn't something i think i can do. also i would probably be called a jew in the toilets for having my cock head exposed.

I'm curious about this reincarnation belief many anons seem to have here, I don't think anyone knows what happens after death but reincarnation sounds like most likely ¨possibility¨ to me.

The idea of reincarnation is appealing for a number of reasons... but the problem with the philosophy is mainly ethical. the caste society which it spawns is a serious issue as caste systems can be outright cruel and justified by some insane logic like "oh the reason why you suffer in this life is because you have done something terrible in the previous"
there's also logical problems like, okay so exactly at what point does the cycle begin and end, and why? we theorise that the material universe is finite, with a beginning (big bang) and an end (heat death) so unless both of these theories are wrong, reincarnation needs a logical explanation for it to fit into this system.

pretty much everything just revolves around girls dude. normalfags wageslave and keep up appearances to make themselves attractive to foids. on the other side, our identities are formed as coping mechanisms for a lack of pussy and teenage love. like we use anime to access ideals of girls and love to compensate for girls we dont get in real life. other people will just cope with booze or weed or just devote themselves to some solitary autistic obsession to distract themselves from the fact that they have never felt the touch of a woman.

so what would i do if i denied my desire for girls? maybe i could become a christcoper. or maybe i could indulge in appreciation of finer feelings through things like art and music since aesthetic judgements of these things are disinterested, as Kant says.

maybe when i get older and my libido declines i will do these things, but i'm a red blooded male in the confidence of my youth so i'm gonna keep coping with anime girls for now.

well, it's objectively true that the darwinistic world of human mating is pretty absurd, unfair and brutal. But it's far from being the worst tragedy which exists in this world. i'm a young lonely guy like you probably and when I'm at a moment where I feel suffering I just think of all the children dying of cancer, people suffering from real chronic illness, disabilities, people dying pointlessly in wars, people being tortured, raped, all sorts of horrible things happening to them that isn't happening to me, and it just makes me think that being "sexually unsuccessful" is far from the worst thing you can experience in life. Is it a cope? yeah, but it's also true. you gotta change your perspective. so you know, don't think about all the nice things that you aren't experiencing (they are most likely an illusion anyway), but focus on the horrible things that you are spared from.

I think life's purpose or meaning is just something that gets you to stop thinking about the purpose or meaning of life. If the unconscious is structured like a language, then a purpose is language that makes living less painful. Living is painful since death is inevitable, which means living is dying. But we can use language to minimize the resistance we put up to the passage of time and our slow march towards death.

this. women are cattle by nature. thousands of years of human history have proven that they are only useful for reproduction. when stupid europeans and americans fall for the feminist movement, women no longer want to marry; instead they become whores (just like what happened in weimar republic). women should be led by men, that's our role in life. by giving women freedom, you basically let the children in adult bodies choose the path that leads to nowhere.
