A few days ago, I came to the sudden realization that I was wasting my life. I'm 21. I still have time. But my mind is so messed up, and I don't have the medication to help myself. I'm trying to get them somehow (darknet, gimped public healthcare, whatever comes first).
I wish that when I was a teenager someone stepped in to help me. A teacher or lover or anyone. I want to desperately wallow in blaming my parents, but they were both as mentally crippled as I am. What could I expect?
I uninstalled twitter and am trying to log off. I only go on 4chan occasionally now. I'm trying to scrape together the wreckage and salvage some kind of happy life. I'm so tired of living so full of self loathing.

The Whale keeps on making me laugh? Who knew the best american novel was such a comic and comfy thing! I sure didn't. Herman is already better than most, much better; his vocab feels natural rather than thesaurus-tier clunky; and, his insights and symbols between the comedy brings the book to another level. Underrated by the public, and to extent even /lit/ underrates it.

>/lit/ actually think literature has any value
>/lit/ reads
>/lit/ has superiority complex

kek I love how people like you aren't parodies, you couldn't elaborate half a page of actual argument about your absolute baseless, insecure and absurdist sense of 'literary' superiority. Please look inwards with honesty and you may still be saved from mental degradation anon

I imagine philosophers of old would have a similar approach to deciphering memes

How can individualists and egoists even advocate for individualism, or seek to protect the individual from collective society when it is collective society that invented individuality and is the reason why individuals can exercise any degree of self-determination at all?

pic somewhat related.

This is pretty nice with the definitions.

I would have massive fun getting a few people together with some food and books, spending a good full day trying to work out the fullest and most functional glossary.

Good job man
