I'm 33. I live with my mom. I've done absolutely nothing with my life. I have no friends. I have no hobbies. I have no interests. I've no skills. I've no money. I've no thoughts but these, which have been circling the drain of my life for over a decade purely through some strange inertia. Every day I...the word must be obsess, even though I am disinterested in the stuff...I obsess over what I've not done, what I should do, and most of all why. And I never make any progress, and I exhaust myself in this way, and I never make any progress. I've started to lose my hair. I've been getting fat. My penis doesn't work well, and my mind even less so. I remember being told and even believing how superior I was when I was younger. Lately I've been having strange dreams where nightmares meld with pornography, the guns of robbers morphing into giant penises, warm summer rain suddenly revealing itself as odorous urine, the terror of trying to wrench my arm free from something only to pull it out of a young girl's ass along with a handful of her intestines. It's odd how my mind only ever go in a circle but also manage to get worse. I don't prayer for redemption or death anymore, though I used to, now I just hope for dreamless sleep.

I heard you guys have problems to find motivation to read?

What has worked for me the last week:
>first determine how much i want to read every day (not time, but chapters or pages)
>wake up very early, like 5 am
>first thing I do is start reading
>do 20 pushups after every chapter (you can do more or less depending how fit you are); today I read 10 chapters, so I had to do 200 pushups total
I read 1.5 - 2 hours in the morning. So when the day really starts, I already read a lot and did some workout.

This is surprisingly fun, doesn't feel like chore at all. Maybe it will help you as well, wanted to share.

>live in New England town
>just went to my local library 5 hours ago
>they didn't have a single work by Lovecraft
>no Henry James
>no Emerson
>one Thoreau book
>one Hawthorne (Scarlet Letter)

>five copies of How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi
>three copies of White Fragility

Do you know what is worse, way worse. People who read and are still retards, I have mates who have read 20ish books, but they only ever read 'Penguin Books' this and 'Times book of the year' that. They read sludge. Dumb-dumb sludge.
They are mid-wit brainlets, which are far worse than normal, plain, dumb-dumb, no-read, brainlets.

On the other hand, I have a lot of friends who think they are political mastermind experts, but you can tell they have never picked up a book. Their ideas are skin deep. If you challenge their thinking with anything high-tier than some youtube video logic, they crumble immediately.

The change of the age will be wrought by forces unseen. It is closer than you think.

Modern art and philosophy compares to the cynical dribbling of a disgruntled old man, and the renaissance and enlightenment like the zealous dreams of a young boy. The next 'era' is reset.
