I'm sorry anon but reading Kerouac motivated me to get /fit/, make money and use women, and I'm sure that if you don't spend more than 5 hours a day on this shithole site, in couple years time you'll make that progression too

>>12743477
I told my friend about a girl I had a crush on; he then asked me why I didn’t ask her out, and I became immediately depressed. It wasn’t becuase I knew I didn’t have a chance with her, but becuase the thought of asking a girl to be my gf had not even approached my consciousness in years. That’s how fucked I am

Yeah.

>>12743363
If you follow it, you will be happy. People underrate this part of Stoicism and think like it is a crisis-only philosophy.

Does anyone have a picture similar to OP's but instead it's some guy standing outside the tent bending over and you see his crack?

I have a gf though

I had 3 long term gfs totalling something like 10 years, i dont know why you guys want one, women are completely overrated

I used to think Stoicism was a CHAD mentality of being an alpha. Then after meeting a few people that fit the description, I realized these are the most insufferable people in real life. Seriously, stoicism is one step away from objectivism retardation.

This.
If you want something soft to touch, just buy satin sheets and a self-heating bed mat. Once you do that, you'll realize all relationships are overrated.

>>12743724
b-but the self-heating bed mat won't have a cute asshole for me to lick after a long day of reading

Wow the landscape outside of that tent must look beutifull when you gaze outside of the tent, to observe the morning that awoke you. Does anyone know where this was taken? Thinking of ireland, but thats just associacion.

>>12743384
You're grossly romanticizing.

>>12743835
I'm not a sage and I didn't achieve eudaimonia, but I would say I'm much happier than I was before learning about the Stoics.

God, it feels good to have a /lit/ gf. We read Deleuze and Kawabata together and fuck like rabbits when we aren't discussing Ernesto Neto's installations in France. Why don't you boys step the fuck up?

>>12743921
If you so desire.

>>12743921
Sounds like you've repressed some things.

>>12743894
You mean something that is a depiction of nature can get more beutifull that nature? That might be true, however the depiction will always be depiction. A depicted landscape con not be experienced in the same way as the original/inspiration can be. You can only wander trough it in your mind, not in person. I am not primarily in the beuty of nature, I am intereste in the nature of nature. That might sound cringy but hey.

>>12743914
break it down for me. how do I into lucid dreaming?
I've had a few before, but they were accidental. How does one make it intentional?

>>12743933

Congratulations, mate. I hope you two are happy together.

It's over isn't it? God I hate myself. Why was I born low-key autist?

>>12743939
>the nature of nature
Well, that's literally everywhere.
Also, artists put thought into their work. The processes that create mountain ranges and shit put literally zero thought into it and express nothing by way of it. A great landscape painter creates a landscape that is better designed, with more thought and feeling behind it, than Nature itself can ever do. It's nature AND humanity, whereas the "real deal" is merely nature.

>>12744021
She’s already having a train run on her

dream journals, dream checks, mantras in bed

>>12744021
just come up with funny descriptions of made-up events that supposedly happened to you. you can keep up the texting "interesting" and practice your imagination, prose-writing etc. tell her that you otherwise wouldn't talk about such banal things to her and that it's the reason why you weren't texting her that much till now.

>>12744040
Yeah right

>>12744037
I know, she apologized for it afterwards but it still stung. What should I do though?
>>12744048
idk, I dont really feel like lying to her

This is your brain on atheism. Might as well lock yourself in a black box forever anon, if all non-human creation is so vulgar and meaningless

>>12744086
maybe /r9k/ was right, maybe women can't love like men do

>tfw my tulpa gf cucked me

Not even joking

>>12743451
>Your inability to fuck women is a sign that God has forgotten you
Your inceldom is just a sign from God that you should dedicate your life to Him and renounce the flesh, it is a gift if only you choose to see it that way

That’s why you need a trap gf

>tfw I don’t know how can I tell her the truth without looking like a lunatic and hurting her in the process

>>12744021
Break up with her before she breaks up with you, that way you're the winner

>>12744161
Well, clearly you care more about her and your reputation more than you care about God, so...

>>12744021
just call each other or vid chat
i told long term long dist gf that any arguments etc will only be had over phone or vid, avoiding endless texting back and forth
do the same for your daily convos if theyre that strained

>>12744026
Sure the nature of nature is everywhere, I was to unprecise there. I meant the nature of the Landsckape or rather that part of nature. Also the nature of nature can be experienced everywhere, but I whould argue that it can be experienced differently and more intense that way. Similar to a religious person for example. They can experience their faith everywhere, yet they choose to go to church, to experience it in e more intense, communal way.
It is also true that the depiction whould be created w/ more thought and emotion put into it. Assuming nature wasn´t created by itself.
You also argue, the painting unites humanity and nature, wheras nature is merely itself.
Here is whet my thought on this is: Man can not be completly objective, especially when producing art. Every thought and emotion that was put into the painting and its creation, was addet to nature. The painting is a filterd experience. Because it is not merely nature, it cant the just like nature. If you want to experience something truly, experiencing the experince of someone else whould just be that.

>>12744172
this one's called "even when I'm straight I'm still gay."

I thought it was a penis at first.

the humanities department

You desire to LIVE "according to Nature"? Oh, you noble Stoics, what fraud of words! Imagine to yourselves a being like Nature, boundlessly extravagant, boundlessly indifferent, without purpose or consideration, without pity or justice, at once fruitful and barren and uncertain: imagine to yourselves INDIFFERENCE as a power—how COULD you live in accordance with such indifference? To live—is not that just endeavouring to be otherwise than this Nature? Is not living valuing, preferring, being unjust, being limited, endeavouring to be different? And granted that your imperative, "living according to Nature," means actually the same as "living according to life"—how could you do DIFFERENTLY? Why should you make a principle out of what you yourselves are, and must be? In reality, however, it is quite otherwise with you: while you pretend to read with rapture the canon of your law in Nature, you want something quite the contrary, you extraordinary stage-players and self-deluders! In your pride you wish to dictate your morals and ideals to Nature, to Nature herself, and to incorporate them therein; you insist that it shall be Nature "according to the Stoa," and would like everything to be made after your own image, as a vast, eternal glorification and generalism of Stoicism! With all your love for truth, you have forced yourselves so long, so persistently, and with such hypnotic rigidity to see Nature FALSELY, that is to say, Stoically, that you are no longer able to see it otherwise—and to crown all, some unfathomable superciliousness gives you the Bedlamite hope that BECAUSE you are able to tyrannize over yourselves—Stoicism is self-tyranny—Nature will also allow herself to be tyrannized over: is not the Stoic a PART of Nature?... But this is an old and everlasting story: what happened in old times with the Stoics still happens today, as soon as ever a philosophy begins to believe in itself. It always creates the world in its own image; it cannot do otherwise; philosophy is this tyrannical impulse itself, the most spiritual Will to Power, the will to "creation of the world," the will to the causa prima.

Besides that. I'm finishing my degree, most of my classes I take online now and the ones on campus are in the tech department. Anybody have any luck with online dating? What about meeting girls across state lines or Canada through the internet?

>>12744126
So you want to add meaning and beuty to the world.. Nothing I would disagree with, It tells me that you value those things. I value truth, which is why I want to experience things as they are, otherwise they are just interpretations or copies, not the original. Not the other guy btw. I whould not say that artificial/man-made beuty cant be as beutifull as natural one, but If I want to observe natural beuty, or even more to fully enjoy it, I want to be fully emerged in it. It beeing the original.

>>12744258

Also, if full immersion is what you want, then a fully immersive VR world (smell, touch, taste, everything) could be wholly superior to the natural world, right?

Also, why does it matter? On this matter you've given me nothing but dogmatism.

>>12744361
A replication of nature. Or Its nature. A VR-Fantasy whould also be created by something else even assuming it whould emulate nature perfectly, it whouldnt be nature. The reason it matters? Are you asking why it matters to me, or why it matters in a philosophical sense?
As ive wrote in my first post in this thread, I whould like to go hiking in a similar area, to experince nature. some anon replied to me that looking at a well painted picture whould be superior. Also why whould one want to emulate nature?

Ouch, that’s not exactly the attitude you had towards me last night.

Or even the attitude a lesbian would have towards a guy (I mean seriously this is the biggest tell yet, you just called me a scrub). Just don’t act like this with anyone else.

same poster from above, just letting you guys know that there are girls out there who DO find shy virgins really cute and prefer them over any other kind of boy. please don't be so down on yourselves, go out and showcase your sweetness to similarly virtuous girls and you'll get a girlfriend without doubt. but you have to actually make an effort to, and talk to us, otherwise we sadly can't help you any further
