Because it's lonely when you're at the top, my friend.

>>12412814
because if you were living the high life and had roasties begging you for cock 24/7, you wouldn't be giving other shit a second thought.

>>12412821
Wrong. Many attractive men have renounced fleshly pursuits in favor of intellectual ones as they are qualitatively superior. And reversely, mainly lonely men, succumb to pornography and self-abuse and amount to nothing.

>he doesn't live surrounded by his loved ones
Being the patriarch of a large extended family is masculinity's final form.

Best men are in broships

Because loneliness gives you time to think

>>12412839
best men come home in a body bag :(

>>12412935
>tfw all your gfs died
wtf

>>12412827
>lonely men succumb to pornography
ouch!

>>12412814
The higher, the fewer.

If a philosopher is lonely it's proof his shit doesn't work.

>>12413104
What a stunning image. Is there any context I should know for it?

>>12412827

>>12413122
it's an artist's depiction of my diary desu

>>12413132
emj always says these outlandish things which turn out to be true if you research them.

>>12413122
I just liked it, but it also shows how easy it is to fall, and how falling from a height is the hardest way to fall. And that is why the higher you go, the fewer you find there...

>>12413136
based

>>12413150
so it's not depicting something specific? but yeah very cool as you said

>>12412814
Just because you're lonely, it doesn't mean you're a great thinker. You're probably just an asshole.

>>12413208
Thanks

Because we find people and their mundane lives boring and meaningless

I can't speak for great thinkers, but the reason I'm lonely is that it's very hard to talk to people who have little to no interest in exploring deep, important questions. Most people are put-off by it or simply don't want to expend the mental and emotional energy in working out a philosophical problem for themselves or in a dialogue. That's why most of my finished writing sits in a lockbox in my closet, only to be shared upon my death.

>>12412814
nobody understands them but the bitches and the drugs

>>12412814
I'm lonely because I'm stupid desu.

>>12412814
Because God is silent.

>>12415757
I have had that problem before. I ended up just talking more about whatever topics came to mind with people. I guess just talk more and more. That's what I've done. I've gained plenty of friends at this point. Maybe more to come. Also just go out to places. It has been said before but it's true. It's better than being lonely and being meh at home.

It's Icarus falling from the sky after going too close to the sun.

>>12413186

that's not icarus. it's phaeton falling from the sun chariot

>doesn't believe in horoscopes
how middle brow

>>12412814
They don't, you're just choosing to focus on the ones that fit your stereotype in order to justify your shitty lifestyle and facilitate your mental masturbation

>>12412821
There're people who aren't popular with girls, but they really don't think much about it except for wishing they had a chance to fuck them. Poor people from illiterate families for example.
They might be virgins but they won't ever hear of r9k. They don't carry the burden of Weltschmerz.

>>12413120
There're different kind of philosophers, there're the ones like Shopenhauer and the ones like Nietzsche...

>>12412827
>projecting this hard

>>12415776
I'm not entirely isolated. I have a small circle of friends and am close with my family. But I've found that most people most of the time prefer chitchat rather than serious conversations. Most people get uncomfortable and defensive when I try to talk about something serious, even if I don't hold a hard or controversial stance on it.

>>12412827
I have a gf yet masturbate to porn almost daily. I would be a faggot not to

>>12412814
If you really want to know yourself it will come at the price of knowing no one else

Have you read 'prince myshkin and hold the relish' by harlen ellison? Actually I suggest listening to Ellison read it himself, as it is intended by the author. You can find it on youtube

social compatibility depends on shared factors. every standard deviation one's iq is above the median diminishes the pool of people in same range. communication between people of very different levels of intellect is hard

>>12417057
kinda true, harder to make bonds for sure

>>12413132
couldn't get into his book, he references "the illuminati" too much

>>12417057
Where did you gain this idea?

The more I read, the more I realize how little I know. Anyone else knows this feel?

Pic related, over 5000 hours in Paint.

>>12412814
its the opposite way around, being lonely allows you great time to think

its funny every time i come to this board most peoples posts have already been written down thousands of time in a better way. not only that but what they think can be explained for them in a book. its ironic on a board called literature

THIS DESU, eventually you just become apathetic and stop caring about friendships with anyone other than the rare occasional high verbal-IQ avid reader, and there's no guarantee you'll meet people like this anyway, I count myself lucky to have some as friends but that has not always been the case.

>>12412814
Because you can focus and think better when you're alone

>>12418016
Well, you're not wrong. But at the same time, who am I to offer someone something to read who neither asked for it, nor expressed much if any interest in learning my thoughts on a certain matter?

>>12418848
I've been able to resist apathy. I now just tread slowly when I broach a serious subject. If it doesn't take, it doesn't take.
