/lit/ - Literature

What are some good unpozzed poetry sites?

Lemme put it this way, as a summary:

I'm not a voluntarist, I don't believe this reality is one "slice" in the total bandwidth of all possible realities, I don't think this place is one "take" on how things COULD be: I think this world is already every possible world. Pic related is the PERFECT visual illustration of what I'm talking about: what if death has a "duck" aspect and a "rabbit" aspect? Kek.

If it is every possible world, what if death is already the form of every possible deliverance (or at least a special kind? Without it ceasing to be death, to be horrible?

>Is this what it means to create the Pleroma?
Yes. It's very Schopenhaurian I think: take away the craw in your throat, and there's only light (you can tell whose Gnostic and who isn't by the status they afford the World: is it the negation, or realization, of Light? Is creation a limitation of possibility, or an explosion of it in an inert void? These positions all cut across each other every which way: remember that in Zoroastrianism, God's omnipotence CAN be reconciled with God's goodness). Darkness is the absence of Light, and Light is the absence of Darkness.

>will be an entirely new beginning
Let's hope, my friend. I don't need a paradise, just a beginning.

Even after completely ignoring current events (I've been pic related for three years) I still can't see any reason to hope for anything in this world.

Is abstract philosophy reall useful?
I get studying philosophies of life, because they can have a genuine impact on your well-being, but what is the actual point of getting into metaphysics, ontology or phenomenology?
Reading that stuff gives me tunnel vision. I start manipulating abstractions, words and empty concepts. But there's a discrepancy between philosophy and what life actually is.
Reality itself is such a strange thing, why not just go with that? Sure, your specific view could be the right one, but if you're honest with yourself you'll have doubts. Our minds are limited and we're inherently biased, so all your ideas that seem to make sense could also be wrong. I'm not advocating for nihilism, but for a more simple way to relate to things.

This is just my midwit take and I know it's not clever or deep, but it's caused me to become disgruntled with philosophical theories and start reading more fiction and instead of obsessing over existential stuff. I'm wondering if any other anons are in the same case.

I will be leaving this rat race behind soon and never look back. At first I was afraid of having to start a new life and being on my own for the first time but this thread reminded me why I'm doing it. The West is dead. I'll be seeing you brothers

Ultimate redpill is that you can't go back, you can only refine your ideas. Try to avoid becoming a wignat and make sure you read as much as possible. There's no going back, unfortunately. Also avoid letting your uncomfortable reality consumer you. Yes we're living in hell, yes there are people much more intelligent and powerful than you trying to systematically destroy you, your family, your culture, your history, and your way of life- but that doesn't mean you need to live in anger. Enjoy the little things as much as you can and keep your head up, bud.

I have a paperwhite and love it but I want something a big larger. I don't like how "one page" is actually two or three pages on the kindle. What's the best ereader that isn't like $500?

I'm still "redpilled" on some things related to race (that different races with different pros and cons exist) but I left the m'uh huWhite race garbage behind a while ago. I learned a few good bits of truth but /pol/ is more bad than good. It's like 99% unthinkably awful trash and 1% gold.

>Turn your phone off and put it in a drawer unless you ACTUALLY NEED IT FOR SOMETHING SPECIFIC
>Set a daily reading quota. I do like ~25 pages per day, usually in the morning while I drink my coffee
>Uninstall every videogame from your computer and/or unplug all consoles and put them into the cuckdrawer beside your phone
>Go outside for a walk everyday, nighttime is best.
>Cook your own dinner (if you live alone). Stop eating fast food and corndogs
There ya go anon, here's the cure for you "new mental disease".
>But I don't want to do those!
Then rot, faggot. Don't whine about being unhappy and then whine when you don't like the remedy.

I've wake up around 6:30, grab a cup of joe, sit with my dog, and read a book on the ol' kindle. Mornings have been very cozy during the last few months.

Just put it on the other side of your room. That's not a great habit, Anon.

I can look outside my window and see a beautiful oak tree. I can look at the news and see some poor transexual kid dying of aids.

Your attention is a gift you get to give.
