>if you're not confident in your actions, you suffer from anxiety
>actions are informed by values
Therefore, you need to be confident in your values in order not to suffer from anxiety.

So, anon, where do you derive your values from? Are they grounded in something solid?

Appealing to things outside yourself to justify values is spooky, but I'm not sure if its possible justify values just from introspection either. Is god necessary to act without anxiety?

Try and hold a conversation with any sincerity here and you'll quickly be alleviated of those misconceptions. 4chan is very much the cultural subconscious of the internet. It used to be comprised of primarily western unconscious etho's. But now, non-western and purely academic leftist ideas have dribbled in.

The result is pure discord, with little in the way of structural cohesion between individuals. Identity politics have consumed 4chan whole.

>There are also some who adopt the term 'unconscious' as a synonym or equivalent of 'subconscious', and this term, taken literally, would seem to refer to an even lower level, but as a matter of fact it only corresponds less closely to reality; if the object of study were really unconscious it is difficult to see how it could be spoken of at all, especially in psychological terms; and besides, what good reason is there, other than mere materialistic and mechanistic prejudice, for assuming that anything unconscious really exists? However that may be, there is another thing worthy of note, and that is the strange illusion which leads psychologists to regard states as being more 'profound' when they are quite simply more inferior; is not this already an indication of the tendency to run counter to spirituality, which alone can be truly profound since it alone touches the principle and the very center of the being? Correspondingly, since the domain of psychology is not extended upward, the 'superconscious' naturally remains as strange to it and as cut off from it as ever. ~ Guénon

Christianity saves you from Hell, not your self. The best of Christianity is becoming yourself through Christ. That would not have saved him.
