/lit/ - Literature

I went to what its called, in my country, a "technical school". Its a school with orientation in trades and industry professions, like elctromechanics, electronics, chemistry...

I begin to live when i started to look into philosophy and arts. Thats when i started to feel human. Prior to that, we were just drones being programmed to work in an assembly line.

As chris hedges says something like, they dont want you to study things that make you think, they want you to stay docile.

Im in your same exact place, but i dont know if you did this, I became this way because I wanted to come to a conclusion, with original personal thought, why should i keep living and if i do what im here for. So the last 10 years i was basically the wojak in this image, of course i did other things in daily life, but i ended up finding a resolve to my predicament which im satisfied with, my own frame of reference.

As he said >>22038459 there are many people in this situation because we are existing in this current shitshow, so dont panic and dont anything stupid.

I recommend for you to learn something like comp sci or software engineering, so you are set up. And then, the best you can do is thinking and meditation, trying to reflex on what is your view of the world and life, and to study philosophy as much as you can.

Pussy will not solve anything ( in our situation can actually make everything worst), but if it a big weighf for you, try to get a prostitute and lifet that weight.

Good luck. Everything will be fine.

Best software/sites to keep notes on the books that I’ve read?

Private notes have a word limit for some reason, and I want to write lengthy notes which are well organised.

You should viscerally hate all youtubers.

They live too good of a life, doing too little, and they all hate you.

I wrote a short story, and it's free on kindle for several days. I think it's alright, and if anyone wanted to give it a read, I think you might like it too. And also if you do like it, leaving a positive review really helps me out too. Thanks.

What are some books I can read to help me stop being pic related?

Oh God, I was the only one who had this problem. I used to stay up hours past my bed time because I couldn't stop thinking. I was only able to fall asleep once I learned how to clear my mind via meditation. If I don't use meditation, I'll just stay up all night until I collapse from exhaustion. Sucks dude, but at least its over.

I’m the thinker while walking, and the schooler at home, it sucks

Philosophy is a serious endeavor, the Greeks knew this, which is why the young were discouraged from studying philosophy before they had matured and gained life experience. Classic Education doesn't even include philosophy prior to the student having read the canon of western literature and become well versed in it.

For the last 4 years I have been the embodiment of pic related, and I have know realized it has not brought me much more happiness or fulfillment. I have decided to stop reading Philosophy until I'm well into my thirties. The problem with Philosophy is that it has no end in sight, no resolution to be found. This is both the appeal, but also the problem if you want to live a life of experience and not be stuck in your own head all of the time. You can gain so much more by reading fiction and poetry in your 20s can anything else.

This and also pic related. I don't usually have an inner verbal monologue. The only reason I ever subvocalize my thoughts is to play out an argument in my head (I'm socially anxious and I've used this as a calming ritual). My thinking has gotten so bad sometimes that I skip entire words and phrases mid sentence when having conversations. I dissociate from what I'm saying or writing and run the entire chain of thought to its logical endpoint before I've gotten to articulate myself properly.

How do you break the cycle to actually write something?

>mfw the greatest thinker of our generation posts on /lit/ and will never make it main stream because of this
how do you cope?

My reading habit has eroded so much these past few years that now I just think. I've recently found that many philosophical mini-systems I've arrived at independetly thinking all day already exist, with uncanny semblance to the ones I've invented. How plausible is my theory that if I carry on thinking for a few more years I'll eventually create a groundbreaking new philosophical theory

When writing, I always start out with ideas I would consider great, but the more I write, the more I begin to hate what I do and think that my writing is garbage. Moreover, I have no fun during the writing process. It's just the thought of writing something and imagining an overarching story in my head that intrigues me.
Any way to fix this?

Pic only partly related, not all of these things apply to me.

What philosophy deals with not caring about life and reality, or not liking it in general and just live inside your head instead?

How to I stop being a /thinker/ and become a /writer/? I'm tired of just imagining my world and stories but I'm terrible at bringing them to life
