They ruined the library sauna the last time they rioted and it wasn't back in order for 2 weeks.
Honestly don't know whether I'll continue my gold membership if it happens again

I recently wrote a novel called "The Man On Edge". It's about a man-made man who's on edge. The story follows his last moments with his daughter before the final edge.
No one wants it.
What should I do with it?

What's the redpilled way to learn mathematics?

I want to learn math, but all math textbooks and teachers online are the most boring pieces of human trash.

I was thinking that maybe I should learn history of math instead and even if is not a proper optimal way of learning math, maybe reading about the development of math and learning how it evolved will give me a more interesting approach to learn math than listening some boomer talk about some dumb shit I don't give a fuck.

I don't care if it would take me longer to learn this way math.

I'm trying to become a polymath today, to make my dream come true.

However I can't enjoy to be with others, they don't have any desire to self improve.
I don't talk with my family because of diferent IQ range (I'm 130 IQ and they're just average spics) and they can't even understand basic shit like the purpose of having some savings for an emergency.

I've tried to learn a shit ton of topics to be ready to talk about any topic, because when I was a kid I suffered because I couldn't talk about nothing, but I've discovered people don't have nothing interesting to say.

I'm sure I will get to my dream, and I think I'm on track to reach it by 40, even by 35 I could start acomplishing it.

But I've lost interest on everything.
I don't play games, don't watch films, don't like anime, don't watch TV.

Only real entertainment I have is to study the theory of diferent art forms and watch some political youtubers.
I'm slowly losing interest into such youtubers and only use youtube to listen the same music I enjoy (I don't like to listen to newer music).

The more I focus on my dream, the less enjoyment I have on what others consider entertainment and whenever I try to watch a movie or play a game I feel my time would be better used in studying for my dream.

I don't complain, since I feel I'm improving and making small steps towards my dream.

But I feel I can't enjoy be with others, I feel I'm diferent to them and I'm just like another specie and they're another type of human.

However I feel alone and would love to have a single friend to talk about self improvement and talking about long life dreams I have and he could have.

I feel alone.

My oneitis got engaged two months ago to her childhood friend (a good friend of mine whom she wasn't dating previously) and neither of them ever told me. I literally caught her slipping up in conversation about being engaged and then had to confront her AND him when she deliberately avoided my questions. I don't think I'm angry. I think I feel really, really hollow and empty inside. I find it hard to talk to either of them right now. I wish I could graduate already so I could move cross country and make up excuses to stop talking to them, but running away is such a quitter cop-out coping mechanism, but facing the truth hurts so much, too.
Luckily, I'm using this as psychic fuel for my books and I've written some very good scenes, so at least something good has come out of it so far. Maybe if this keeps up I'll finish my third book before I leave college.

Lit, need books about leaving echo chamber, i am tired of being unobjective

books about disillusion, disgust with everything around you, having a fragmented identity, being a nobody, depression about the fact that you can't meet fictional characters, and the desire to abolish reality?

>Every time I get engrossed in a book my nymphomaniac gf makes me put it down and eat her ass
it's very distracting and as someone who likes to read I find that I just don't have the time anymore. My life has devolved into meaningless sex, work and sleep with little time for anything else.

How should I carve out time for literature? books for this feel?

>try to write a short story
>get blocked
>can't finish it
>read it
>"this is trash, how could i write something so shitty?"
>erase it
>don't write anything in weeks due to my lack of talent
>repeat
