What person would be a good example of a BwO, if such an example exists? I'm trying to better grasp this concept.

>Work on yourself
>Meet new people
>Take responsibility
I've never met a person in my life worth giving the time of day.

I'm under no denial about my own poor company but it doesn't change the fact I have next to no interest in people and meeting new ones doesn't change that. People are, by and large, boring faggots.

i'm all for this but frogs have been on this site longer than you, if we can't have them does that mean no reaction images at all? why even bother posting on an image board no costanza?

>There are people in the current year who think sanity can be determined by consensus or society.
If you trust someone else's thoughts over your own, you've already lost.

>He thinks if he looks hard enough he'll find a solid answer on why or how to live
Nothing but a cope for cowards who can't bear to look at reality and accept the absurdity of existence. Camus was another coping faggot too. There is nothing out there for you, nothing will help, life will always be a nonsensical chaotic whirlwind and you will always hate it, you will always feel lost and anxious and alone. You won't enjoy the struggle, there will be no respite, nothing and no one will save you.

>the existence of a creator does not fall under the purview of philosophy
>belief in a creator is childish
>belief in a creator precludes critical thinking about the world of the believer

belief in a creator is as if not more valid than the rejection of a creator, seeing as believing in ex nihilo creation requires one to disregard the fundamental laws of physics.
