How do I decide what to do after college if years of suicidal depression have beaten every hope and dream out of my body? I have no drive, no motivation to achieve anything. Some degree of comfort is all I much value anymore. I have some hobbies but I'm not dedicated to them to a degree that would give my life some structure or direction (ie, "I want to be a novelist so I will focus on writing", "I want to be really fucking strong so I'll dedicate myself to lifting", etc). I have no friends or gf or anything like that. University is the only thing providing me with any kind of structure and I'm scared about losing it. I'd rather not become a neet, at least not without trying to live first.

Should I just try to get a decent job and give living a go? I've already tried foreign travel which did help a lot with finally lifting myself out of depression (I mean I'm still melancholy and lonely but I don't think about killing myself all the time anymore) but it didn't exactly inspire a new sort of outlook or anything.

Today I waited too long before masturbating. It felt uncomfortable to go for a piss and have a dribble of pre-cum come out of my flaccid penis.

I'm hungry now.

Perhaps im an NPC. Masturbation and food are on my mind way too often to be healthy. Is considering ones status as an NPC a sign that im not an NPC or just a sign that im an above average intelligence NPC.

>Yes, they saw me; they punished me. It was another, their father, who drank the gall and the vinegar; it was not I. They struck me with the reed; it was another, Simon, who bore the cross on his shoulder. I was another upon Whom they placed the crown of thorns. But I was rejoicing in the height over all the wealth of the archons and the offspring of their error, of their empty glory. And I was laughing at their ignorance.

The "it was not I" is very important. It is naive to assume the principle of non-Duality merely as a mutually passive reflection. Should one project himself onto another in bad faith, the other should not likewise reflect IN bad faith but reflect THE bad faith. In "death" one shows the other's evil not by merely reflecting it but by reflecting both one's Self and the other's accusing him, his rejection of the initial accusation, as per the principle, as well as his rejection of their mutual reflection, thus "dying", which the other rejects, as per the principle, letting him "die". The second Heh, as it were.

I downgraded my smart phone to a burner phone a week ago and honestly I haven't looked back once. I find myself feeling somewhat more liberated and in the moment when out and about. When I had a smartphone and I looked at my phone even just to check time I would automatically load up the Facebook messages and definitely trigger a disappointed response in my brain, now that option isn't there and its great. I certainly feel less anxious too in social environments. I would recommend anons, keep the internet to your home time - you were fine without it before smartphones came in.

Will probably lose my job from failing a drug-test; can't pay my mom my half of the rent this month, and less than two weeks to go. Earlier I needed to shit and went in to the shared bathroom I share with her, but I can't sit on the seat after she used it, so I ask through her door if she needs the bathroom, and hearing 'no, go ahead', tell her I'm gonna take a shower, but in reality I run the bath and shit into my hand and drop it into the toilet. I brought my electric hair clipper in with me to trim the fuzzy parts at the back of my neck, and so after shitting and cleaning inside my asshole I do this, and put the trimmer down on my towel, and wash my hands and face, then I make sure I've gotten all the feces out around the lip of my anus, and in fingering myself and feeling the hot water splash my rising cock I can't help but begin fingering my prostate, wishing I had taken my dildo in with me from the box hidden in my closet. I lament the absence of him, and turn off the running water, satisfied with my clean asshole, but then I notice the phallic shape of the hair trimmer, and without thought bring the water back, squat down, and already goopy from saliva and anal liquid, and rock hard, fuck my ass with the hair trimmer and jack off. It hurts - it's hard plastic with edges and a big on/off switch that digs into me, but I'm already seconds from coming so I persist, spitting in my hand and cranking on my dick, and the pain somehow makes it better, and I picture myself in a men's room in some strange city downtown and a man I don't know is fucking me like this in the stall, amid the sounds of pissing and shitting and blowing and sucking and snorting of ketamine and cocaine, and I cum weakly into the bathroom floor mat and pull the now bloody hair trimmer out of my ass, and wash my dick and butthole off, and the trimmer, and then I towel off, and hope I wasn't too loud, and go back to my room, and now I'm posting this. My mom makes more money than I do, but she's old and I feel guilty about living with her in my early 30s.

You will one day grow up and be the person you wanted to be as a young kid, your future self a silhouetted tower overshadowing your past self with grandeur. You might not know who you want to be, or with who, but those things will sort themselves out, you'll see. Remember while growing up that, as many things can go right, many things can go wrong as well. You will grow up not to overshadow your little self but you will darken every part of the sky and descend down to ruin your past like an eagle that dives in for a kill. You will instead grow up dreaming of a future without living in the present at all, every day will be a day you will dream of the future you have not yet achieved, every year will be "the" year, the one where you finally get to where you wanted. Every hour will be another hour lost, no amount of wading will resurface time gone by in the Styx and once ventured too far from the banks the river becomes an ocean.

I suffer from social alienation. Whenever I go out / meet friends, i never enjoy it and rather want to be alone. It makes me feel left out. My girlfriend is the opposite and really enjoys social gatherings, she always finds something to talk about with people. When I observe her when we're out together, it feels so sad seeing her happy in a way that she never could experience with me, being genuinely interested in people. I am afraid of her cheating on me, i feel intensely uncomfortable when she goes out without me because i fear she will meet someone who she likes more than me and enjoys her time more than if she were with me. I have only heard of, not familiarized myself with the concept of emotional cheating, but that's what it feels like to me sometimes. I wish i were comfortable being alone at all times, but when i am, i feel like "missing out". When I'm out, i want to be home and alone again. Sometimes I think I am schizoid, having no interest in other people and whatnot. Maybe I just have the wrong friends, but I have no idea of how to go about finding new ones. And then I would have to abandon my current ones, probably losing my girlfriend in the process. Also my dependance on her is increasing, I used to be independent but now I feel the need to see her / be with her all the time and it makes me sad when she prefers going out with friends to spending an evening in with me.

There are two issues at play. First, in the united states decades of propaganda have pushed the overton window the point where the democratic party is seen as "left wing" despite being center left by world standards. There isn't a real left wing political force in the united states, the furthest left politicians being socdems. Second, the american republican party is highly influenced by christian, particularly evangelical, moral belief. They don't like gay people (though they've softened up a bit on it recently) and they REALLY don't like transexuals. The result is that transexuals are forced to the democratic side because the other side is openly hostile to them.

I'm not sure it's that reactive. I'm not a tranny history expert by any means, but didn't New Left luminaries like Gore Vidal play an outsize role in even introducing the concept of transexuality to the American public? Our left, such as it is, was born of a very different era and from differing circumstances than foreign leftism. I think it's safe to say that a given example of foreign left would have an older intellectual heritage than our own, more Marxist dogma (perhaps even as defined by the USSR) than counterculture and sexual liberation. Consider also that the same circumstances of life that are apparently conducive to self castration could be similarly conducive to buying the leftist line, and that both tranny and normative leftist lifestyles both start from at least similar foundational presuppositions about reality.

As an aside, I'd like to point out that most Republicans are only nominal Christians, and come from the same materialistic liberal intellectual tradition as most Democrats. They'll cuck out completely on so-called social issues within a decade, it's all a sham. Their posturing on such issues is mostly just realpolitik capitalization on the lingering temporary revulsion the proletariat feels toward sexual depravity, you can see that disappearing now thanks to the heightened influence of educational and media institutions, the posturing will go with it. As that's happening, what we call "evangelicalism" is rapidly fracturing and will no longer be a reliable voting base for Republicans, again within a decade maximum. Liberation theology is in all the seminaries now, there's a lot of talk about organizations like the Gospel Coalition being "compromised," and that's happened extremely rapidly, just within the past couple years. You'll see a lot of churches willing to make themselves a feather in the cap of pagan democrats, to avoid becoming culturally outmoded (nevermind that long-ago cucked denominations like Methodists and Lutherans shrank rapidly when they chose to become temples to liberal politicals). Likewise, just as has happened throughout history, you'll see new Dissenters and Seceders who reject the man-centered theology of "woke churches" (they really call themselves that). For these congregations, political alignment with national republicans will no longer be possible with their coming leftward shift, and you'll see a popularization of Christian democracy in the vein of Abraham Kuyper amongst politically-literate American Christians. They'll isolate according to sphere sovereignty, and will engage with culture to a greater degree than before, but from a position of strength, fulfilling the Biblical imperative to contend earnestly for the faith. The withdrawal of the last remnant of Christian influence over American politics, and the evident loss of common grace for the West, will begin a period of governmental persecution of Christians not seen since pre-religio licita Rome.

This, however, is basically pointless since all the steps are laid out for the viewer.

This leads me to ask: what deranges people to go to such lengths for some media-invented "culture war"? By creating a narrative of a "culture war", does the media complex itself play out acts of legally-endorsed violence upon the general populace for the creation of capital gain?

My native language teacher in high school held a special course. In this course the main objective was to read the book magic mountain by Thomas Mann and analyse it by using the material he provided during the classes. He started us off with Goethe, then he gave us pieces of Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, Freud and even some William Blake. He also went through some post modernist socialist who had categorized people by the roles they take in modern society into "players", "travellers" etc.

As a young Jockey I just superficially read through these without getting any deeper meaning out of these and in the middle of the course I quit as I had not read further than 100 pages into the book.

After this something had changed in me and I grew intrest in these authors and that summer read a few books by them. I am now certain that the high school teacher who had 4 doctorated and still teached at high school was part of some masonic cult or something. I think that the unifying element with all those authors was that they were some sort of geniuses who had "figured it out".

It is my lifes one big regret that I lost the course material and I've always though how much more of a man I could have been had I gone through with it. I still think what other authors he would have introduced to me in the rest of the course.

He found a new beach. This one was calmer. It allowed him to dawdle on the sand and enjoy the day, never demanding him to swim. He felt it pulling him, but never pressuring him. He decided to abandon the first beach gracefully. Maybe she would accept his decision if he claimed his new beach required it. The new beach, surely, was righter. He began swimming in his new ocean, sometimes for an embarrassingly brief time, sometimes for a satisfying amount. The ocean cooed and hugged him with warm water and assured him everything was alright with her. The truth is, the boy moved to a rather dirty beach. There was trash strewn around and the sand was blackened. It lacked a lifeguard, but the boy didn't want one; he felt he could keep himself safe and help his new beach improve at the same time. He swam often, made sand castles, and imagined he had sea creature friends. He felt at peace with this ocean. One day, just a month after he first started swimming there, he declared the beach his favorite spot; his most loved. The ocean caressed him more, but eventually issues surfaced. Trash littered about, dirt invaded the sand, and the waves became choppier. For months he tried to calm the waves and clean up his new beach. Every day he would trudge in and walk for hours on the sand, just trying to help. The ocean began crashing waves on him. He was strong and withstood the blows, but the levels rose until he could only inhale water. He felt things start to drown as her beach became more and more corrupted and sharp. Everything he did to soothe her only made the waves splash harder. His heart ached with pain and he wanted to leave, but he couldn't. He felt attached. He felt responsibility to the beach he once loved. He chose to drown, taking hit after hit, and endured the pain of her abuse. She threw his love back in his face, first laughing at him, later with harsh violence. One day, she threw him up to the pier. He watched as her beach was absorbed and she ceased to exist, and he ran away with all his power. The ocean was now a terrible thing to him.

How does one explain the threat of a man with unrestricted access to time loops? I've come to use this as my go-to example.

Consider the present time, from the moment I woke up. I logged into my computer, checked my email and bank accounts, then whittled away the day in mediocrity.

Now what if you were "along for the ride" that whole time, as it were? To see as I see. Passwords. Contacts. Financial assets (or lack thereof). And, probably most importantly, the subjects that fascinate me.

You would then return to your own body, at the very second I would've woken up, but you made off with a haul without having to lift a finger.

Instead of a shade of a man with no ambition, you could have seen things as the Pope.
Or a man stranded in the desert.
Or a child in Africa.
Or a survivor of a downed plane.

The loops don't care who you see yourself as next. All they do care about is you hauling your own ass to help those people. After all, you have all the time in the world to spare, and all the tools within your reach.

The threat is present when the loops expect you to try anything.
You can't drive? Learn.
You can't speak their language? Learn.
You can't reach them without breaking laws? Learn.

Devout Christians are more often genuinely virtuous than their atheist counterparts. Society ought to see a resurgence in Christianity to move us towards a closer knit and virtuous country.

Yet Christianity need not be a necessity in the pursuit of virtue; most people have not deeply reflected on themselves and their character, let alone chosen to actively pursue improvement along philosophical means. I'm not religious, but I think the virtues and wisdom taught in the Bible, by and large, are more of an easy way out for society, allowing them to circumvent that deep self-reflection and need to hold themselves to a higher standard because they believe they MUST be held to a higher standard by a higher being, with more at stake than just their short lives.

Its sort of mentally authoritarian. And as pretentious as it is, I think of it as sort of like an enlightenment: the masses ought to be religious in order to behave better, yet those who reject religion but continue to reflect and improve along a different guideline, such as that of the Stoics, are the higher thinkers and have the potential of being the most virtuous and have the best character of the bunch.

Spics don't really have much tribalism from what I can tell, other than that they consistently vote for Dems but even then there are exceptions (Cubans in general, Puerto Ricans in Florida who helped defeat Bill Nelson and Andrew Gillum last year). In Texas around 40% of spics voted for Trump in 2016 too.

My problem with them is more cultural: their utter mediocrity. I mean, there are now millions more spics than blacks in this country, what have they contributed to our culture? How many of them are in prominent positions in society? It seems like they just idly live by as wageslaves and they're okay with it.

I've volunteered to tutor at inner city L.A. schools as part of a college thing and these schools are 100% Hispanic - the students don't listen to their teachers (who themselves have no idea what they're doing), barely have any ambition, and the 10th and 11th graders I taught barely knew or understood the most basic and rudimentary concepts. In a high school history class for juniors I taught a few lessons in, most had never heard of Mussolini, Stalin, Mao, etc. They didn't know what fascism, socialism, or communism was. I can see why decades of affirmative actions have done practically nothing to change their lifestyles. Worse yet, we are now getting fewer Mexicans and now more Central Americans (Hondurans, Guatemalans, El Salvadoreans), who if anything are a downgrade.

I used to write this off as a West Coast/Sunbelt problem but these people are now infecting southern states like NC and even the fucking agricultural midwest, had no idea there were so many in Iowa till I read about Molly Tibbetts. I agree though, this country is done for.

I find my lack of interest and devotion to my topic of study slightly concerning. I find while most students around me jump at the chance to be involved in side projects I actively avoid them at all costs. I only find this disturbing as I have great sense of guilt over the fact my parents are helping me pay my tuition. I’m hoping that I can right this guilt by helping them support both my brothers as they make their way through college as well, but unfortunately I don’t really see a way of resolving it without involving me breaking down in front of them and asking for their forgiveness.

On a side note, I’ll be looking for a job in a years time, has anyone had any experience with one that required minimal experience that they enjoyed? Something maybe along the lines of customer service, manual labor, apprenticeship, etc. I worked for the forestry department a few years ago and that wasn’t all bad.

>America will be catholic country, deal with it

This isn't really an argument, you just sound upset. But the country was ruled by almost solely Anglo and Irish Scot protestants for its first 150 years or so.

I guess I'm an ex-exconservative now. It feels weird. When I was younger I was into really left wing stuff. Anarcho communism, going to protests, Murray Bookchin, thought I was trans for a few months, anticlericalism. Now... I don't really know who I am politically anymore. The American "left" has gone off-kilter in the last couple of years. Drag kids, open borders, gun confiscation. I didn't sign up for that. The whole movement is liberal to it's core and won't ever make a material difference for the working class. It's depressing really. I'm beginning to see the wisdom of some form of social conservatism, at least, in a non prescriptivist sense. Ala the societies that we see today are the survivors of an evolutionary battle that many previous cultures have succumbed to. The surviving cultures must have some traits that improve their fitness. It is worth trying to understand and emulate fit traits and to discourage unfit traits. Strong families, strong gender roles, economic autarky, a baseline level of militarism or willingness to defend itself, and relatively homogenous ethnic makeup seem like good traits for a sustainable culture.

Serious post: history will view the second half of the 20th century as a necessary detente between prots and catholics to defeat Marxist atheism. Prots decided to use the peace won after the cold war to impose their perverted view of Scripture onto all Americans through the government and persecute fellow Christians.

My grandmother is the only person I love, but it's only respect, I respect her for who she is. I've been cursed by myself, or from above.

America being uniquely profit-driven doesn't detract from our scientific, technological, artistic, and cultural achievements.

I'm not a WASP myself, but if you think contributing to art, culture, and all the other areas of influence I mentioned are WASP-exclusive obsessions, you're delusional.

Your people are family oriented at the very least, and perhaps the impetus they place on family values over profession is what keeps them lower on the socioeconomic ladder. That is maybe one valid line of reasoning you can use, and I'll concede it's not entirely a bad thing. Otherwise, I stand by my point that you've completely failed to make any meaningful mark on the country despite being roughly 1/5 of the population, and you can't write that off by attacking WASPs.

He thought that even if, instead of an exam, there was a gorilla shaped man preparing to fight him on the other side of those double-doors, he would not feel any less anxious. At least in that case, no one would be expecting him to succeed, weedy armed and pot-bellied as he was. He could simply float through those doors and wait for the impact, in that pleasant way a jump off a bridge would feel.
Instead he trudged numbly into the desk-ridden sports hall. The unearthly, dizzying feeling of the high ceilings and distant walls mitigated by the tunnel-vision of an oncoming panic-attack.

After not talking to my ex-girlfriend since December I foolishly requested to follow her finsta. I'm not sure why I did it. Maybe I longed to see revealing pictures of her again. Maybe I wanted to see if she had posted about me. Somehow she accepted my follow request. It was odd seeing those pictures of her half naked body from the context of never seeing her in person again. She had posted about me which added to my pain. After masturbating to some of the photos I felt disgusted by myself. She was my first time and was afraid I would get too attached and I realized she was right. That chapter of my life cannot be one I keep cycling back into. After the waiting game of her dealing with my follow request I realized it best to unfollow her. Every part of me wants to move on, find someone new. Hopefully it happens for me.

>America being uniquely profit-driven doesn't detract from our scientific, technological, artistic, and cultural achievements.
The fact that american has scientific achievements at all is a testament to america's public secularism, not the unique power of prot society (which isn't unique - just as much scientific advancement has happened in mediterranean catholic countries, and the vatican and the dukes of medieval/renaissance italy are probably singularly responsible for preserving the shared literary and artistic heritages of western civilization when prots were happy to commit rampant iconoclasm in God's name)

>and the fact you're better off here than from wherever your ancestors came from.

>I stand by my point that you've completely failed to make any meaningful mark on the country
Humans are given meaning to their lives by God and abiding by His laws. The western (mostly American, but it's spread to the rest of the secular west) obsession with the accumulation of wealth, baubles, titles and cultural artifacts is probably one of the greater generators of human misery today. The defenders of this way of life slander the social teachings of my church as godless socialism. The worship of greed and avarice as a virtue to be pursued, not a sin to be punished. Abortion on demand to save the careers of feminist ladder climbers

I don't really care if you respond to this or not, I've made my point and I have no interest in the prot parlour game of endless debate that resolves nothing. Western society is collapsing under its own weight and the largest singular moral force is the One True Church - remember that

Today i entered again to uni. I was feeling anxious the past week but not anymore. Everything went fine except for the lunch. The part of the day i dread.
I said to the only friend i really had since day one that i didnt like him and that the better thing to do was to get other friends and part ways. He always needed to be with me and he used to blame me for not being a good enough friend when i didnt answered his calls or when o didnt want to go out with him. I also broke with my girlfriend which studied with me so now i dont have anyfriends to eat with. I had to go to a far away place from uni so i wouldnt have to experience the humillation of being seen eating alone and being labeled as the weird loner. Still i manage to run with some students from higher years that i recognised. Hope they dont noticed me.
Now i went to the center park near my uni to walk and do nothing more. I hope to get new friends quickly. Prefebrably some wich i can eat in uni with and others outside. I felt a little happy when i finished eating and started waliking down the street. I smoked a cigarrete and i had a little moment of bliss.

The way I see things, you're going to die either way, and there's no discernible benefit from dying safe and comfortable. Nobody on their death bed is thinking "ah, well, at least I'm rested" or anything, you know? If you read philosophy and can sell yourself on the idea of virtue, or duty, or any other form of non-theistic sense of meaning, as well as acknowledge my previous statement, you're left without any excuse to not determine a goal and work towards it.

Suicide is certain death, but fist fighting a gorilla is only nearly-certain death, therefor going from suicidal to gorilla fighting is technically an upgrade. So, in a way, I should congratulate you on accidentally eliminating any form of rational fear of death from your life, because it will make your improvement much smoother and easier.

The guy i talked about was an excocain addict that was falling again into drugs but the reason i left him was because he was all what i didnt like in a person. He liked to gossip, he was shallow, he never read nothing, he was very ignorant, he like to critizise everyone, he was loud and obnoxious and he wanted a lot of time from me.
My gf was ignorant, really insecure about me cheating.

Staying up late and writing seems to me more important than anything I have to do, to better myself, to advance my career, anything. Even if it means neglecting the practical affairs that would see me materially happier.

When I sit there doing it it's like my mind is like superheated plasma, I become sovereign of galaxies and space and time my clear and captured ideas. My imagination--usually a hinderance-- becomes a source of energy and I forget myself, rise out and above and away from bitter petty things. It's the only time when I feel that I'm truly free, allowed to range liquidly over everything that comes to mind--and to take a step back from my emotions and let them breathe without them prodding me along.

Then when I'm done and I shut the book, I'm back to being just another guy on the street, stuck with circumstances I'm barely able to control, beholden and subject to structures of power and hierarchies and the screech of cities which the other night were my playthings.

It feels good to dissolve into the backdrop, to become pure thought and image. And then to come here and post on 4chan.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. It sounds like you're saying there's no reason to have principles consistent among different subjects, as in the rules you follow for decision making with regards to politics are different to those for theology as an example. If I'm right, this would mean you believe what constitutes sound logic in one subject is based on a set of principles that, when applied similarly to another subject, fail to hold up, and as such you need multiple sets of principles with independent, potentially conflicting logic for each one. To respond, I would say that properly sound logic is that which applies successfully regardless of subject, and a failure to apply logic to multiple subjects is the failure of the thinker and not logic itself. In other words, inconsistent logic isn't logic, and if you genuinely believe that consistent logic is unnecessary despite being possible, then you just haven't thought about it enough.

I could be misunderstanding, though, and you may just mean something along the lines of "who cares about being consistently logical when my wants/needs can't be justified by that logic" which would just make you an unrepentant, if self aware, hypocrite.

I don't know what to do with my life. I'm so afraid of failure that I'm becoming a failure. I hate it. I don't hate myself and I'm not suicidal. I have friends and ambitions. I'm not missing or suffering from anything. I look in the mirror and see the one person I expect the most from, and that seems to ironically stop me from doing any of it. It sounds ass backwards and I hate it for that, because I don't see any other explanation for this incredibly conflicted feeling I get more and more as I waste my life worrying or distracting myself.

This whole polarity regarding Hbomberguy has really got me thinking. If we as a society have determined that being under 18 is too young to have sex (which in the best circumstances has no long-term consequences such as pregnancy, STDs, PTSD, etc), why are we supposed to just not ask questions when a child says they want to do something as life-spanning as transitioning? Obviously if the money went to helping dysphoric adults, I'd have no issue. They're adults. The decision is then on them.

>> No.12455435

>>12455424
Sex with children is essentially exploitative because it's the adult partner who wants it. There's no necessity for a child to engage in a sexual act so it can only bring a child harm. Children transitioning, on the other hand, is viewed as something that's meant to benefit them in the long run. Now whether it actually benefits them in all cases is controversial at best but ideology prohibits people from pondering this question.

At 20k words, finished drafting the entire plot.
I don't know if it would qualify as YA or not. I use cursewords (less often than Salinger does for ballpark, mainly the main character has a foul mouth because he grew up poorfag) and there's significant sexual tension, although the most inappropriate thing that's happened is the main character checking out the heroine's panties. the target audience is women. But apparently Lev Grossman's Magicians is YA and he had his characters transform into arctic foxes and screw like rabbits, and had a lot of drug use, so mine isn't necessarily disqualified? Only using his as an example because mine will be a very similar genre and demographic, and the characters are a similar age.
Figuring out what genre shit fits into is mind-boggling.
Anyway it's commercial fiction, I think I hit all the bullet points. Love triangle, strong female lead who demonstrates agency and kicks ass, self-insertable world, handsome middle aged man you could picture being into BDSM. My aim is to get the female agents wet so they publish my fucking shit.

My body shall be a temple of science, and my mind even more so. The glorious powers of evokution, manifest as a living and thinking being. Is it not evolutions greatest triumph to weild its own tools for creation, and bend them to its will? Is it not the pinnacle of all life to surpass the mortal coil and rise far beyond the tallest tree, crush the mightiest mountain as if it were nothing? The human tale is the tale of the sentience of evolution, and I will make good on that power bestowed on me. To say that man creates unnatural things is heresy, for what is more natural than for a creature to adapt? Claws of bone replaced with claws of steal and silicon, far more powerful than any animal. A hide of iron impenetrable to a force ten times greater than any dumb beast. Man was not meant to obey rules, but to create them.

I'd encourage anyone who is currently depressed or unhappy to leave this site immediately and not return. I used to be on /lit/ constantly and I've felt much better since I ceased browsing with regularity, I'm not as depressed, I'm getting stuff done, and I generally feel healthier. Any sort of solidarity you feel with the other depressed autists here is not worth the toll on your sanity, go now! If you are lonely and use 4chan for socialization go use things like irc or small forums instead. If you use it as way to alleviate boredom, read a book instead. Or workout. Or go for a walk. Do anything that allows you to _live_, that lets your soul sing and reaffirm your humanity.

Here's a browser plugin you can use to block sites. You can configure the time allowed (I suggest no more than 15 minutes, though you may have to work up to that if you are truly addicted to the web as many are), and you can enable a setting so you have to type a long random string in if you want to make changes--makes you less likely to cheat.

I can only produce writing for authority figures. I don't particularly care what I'm writing about. Everything I've ever written has been written for a specific person whose preferences I learn through feedback. Yet, I love the feeling of writing. The words create all of these incredible feelings inside of me. Just watching them flow out from is enough of a reward. I can't believe that from every position available on Earth I possess one that allows me to translate what I hear inside of my mind into the mind of another. Can you hear me inside your head? Are you skimming this? What do I sound like? It feels like every time I read a sentence it sounds different. The sentence I just wrote sounds different. The sentence I just wrote sounds different. It doesn't come out as fast the second time.

Why do words like God produce such a sense in me? God is an awesome God he reigns from heaven above with wisdom power and love our God is an awesome God. What the fuck did the random deployment of baptist theology do to this ape? I remember the feeling of God so strongly. I remember waking up every day feeling like something was there. And then I stopped believing, and God went away. But then something changed. I didn't need to ground my feelings in anything anymore. Who care why anything makes me feel anything? Now my truth isn't anything but a feeling. What feels true changes with whatever situation I'm in. Now it feels like God is back but I don't believe in the God I once knew. So I just call it the God feeling and it sits inside of me and reactes when I do things that threaten my existence. It grows larger when I affirm my existence. But I like to push and threaten it. Maybe it's always been here. Now that it's come back in full force, part of me misses being suicidal. I just feel okay now. But it was so intense, every day was just pain pain pain but it felt like something. That crushing emptiness. I cherish its return when it returns.

It could happen so fast and my life would just be over. Just shift my right hand down left hand a little bit. The car will drift over the sacred line that line I have to stay in that line. God the light is turning yellow and I have to judge the distance and I'm wondering if the car behind me is angry that I've slowed down while passing that bicyclist because I'm so scared of my brain moving the car in the direction of my eyes that I have to shut down the part that moves the car when I look anywhere but when that part shuts down so does the gas because I can't force myself to accelerate if I'm not in control.

Today I saw the world and it was a large figure flailing itself and part of the flail hit me and I fell down. And on my way down I say all the other people hit by the flail. The farther I fell, the greater a perspective I got. I fell so far that I saw all of him. His tremendous shuttering form flailing and flailing.
