Woah thats so fucking deep dude *hits blunt*
Wake up sheeple
I ponder my existence not like those other commoners *spit*

Nice man I like the overwrought sarcasm approach to cynicism too

>>13048109
man, you are as far as you can get from Instagram.

Am I missing something? This is fundamentally true, it just seems most of you see it only as a symbol and can't actually experience it. Or maybe it's just a rudimentary thing for you. It's amazing to me.

>>13048203
this

yes

>>13048109
okay this is epic

You can circle jerk about retarded shit that will get you nowhere or you can have sex incel

>>13048109
Upboated.


It makes me very angri that so few people wonder about life.
Like, in my opinion, if you aren't interested in the world, you can't be an intelligent person. No matter how much you know or how "educated" you are.

These are my two cents.

I bet the person who made this image went on to watch Marvel's Avengers: Endgame, while clapping loudly

say you explore that deeper understanding for our purpose...how long before you are hungry, oh you need food? oh you need money? oh you need to wage cuck? oh you're tired, well have some entertainment...wait what's our purpose for being her.. oh I'm hungry

fuck off pseud and get a fucking job

>>13048109
That's the tea bro

I'm reblogging this right now.

>>13048109
good post

>>13048109
Do you read books as well or just Eoteric Exposal's feed on twitter ?

These are the kinds of people who unironically like facebook pages like "I Fucking Love Science"

>>13048371

>Neil DeGrasse Tyson
>Chemistry Memes
>Trust Me, Im An Engineer

>>13048203
It is true, and it is profound. People simply get caught in
>>13048285
cycles. But what
>>13048285
is failing to acknowledge is that you can appreciate the splendor of reality AND live at the same time. If you're wagecucking at minimum wage tier, do something like overnight security so you have plenty of free time to read/write/draw/think. If you're in higher education, be engaged and fruitful with your education.
If you're going to school so you can power through a bullshit degree plan you tolerate so you can get a bullshit career at a bullshit company so you have financial security and material possessions its natural you'll be unfulfilled and bitter.

One of the coolest people i know spent time teaching english in china, currently living in mexico for the past 2 years, just living on the beach and teaching yoga. A very pure soul. Its fortunate for her that she walks in the protection of the Lord, she is not cautious.

"In today’s society the common people, generally speaking, seem to
have lost any conception of freedom beyond the kind that comes with days
off from work."

-Theodore Kaczynski, "Technological Slavery"

>>13048109
yeah, let's say everyone agrees with that quote? where are the ones that are "hardly wondering what we're actually doing on this planet"? can someone point me to a person who will read that quote and say "that's me, I'm not wondering and I don't give a shit, new episode of GoT is in a few days" or should I volunteer

>inb4 someone replies with "that's me"

>>13048109
will you guys ever grow out of the "people are" phase?

who cares what our purpose is here. we’re just here, we’ll never know why, we’ll die with more questions and no answers. that’s the nature of
existing.

Everybody wonders, not much like to talk about it, because that's a subject without answers and it shows to people that the control they think they have over their lives is just an illusion, rare are those who like to face that truth.

>>13048285
>He can't walk and think at the same time
you have no jurisdiction to comment on the intelligence of others.

>>13048771
Negative forces like you are only relevant for the perpetuation of your opposites.

>>13048109
So many people in this thread only disagree with this because they are using it as a symbol (appearance) to vent their frustration (resentment) towards normies. Change the symbol (appearance) being represented and people will subsequently change their opinion on its material. The most powerful use of this idea (tool) is the realization that when you control the symbol (appearance) you also control the interpretation of its material.

>>13048903
once you see terminus there is no longer appearance

there will come a time when man will be able to stroll through the galaxy on a celestial walkway, simply because that is what transcending the universe is like

>>13048903
interesting. Source/further reading cf. your terminology?

>>13048919
>once you see terminus there is no longer appearance
but isn't seeing this end the same as representing this end (the end being another appearance)? There is even appearance in material.

>>13048109
THIS IS SO SAD

>>13048972
Baudrillard's work contains the killswitch to the ideas inherent within society.

>>13048109
The animals are to be led (more so "influenced") by those willing to take risks. Do not try to "enlighten" anyone, don't try to "help," "teach," or "convince" anyone of anything. The only dialectic that matters in this temporal and material world is that of action. There's no need to discuss what is to happen, only to do it. Fuck off with trying to sound "deep" when all you do is post image macros online. The same can invariably be said to me, but at least I'm not posturing to make a point for external validation from other "intellectuals"

>>13049084
Isn't "discussing" an action? If i discuss about discussing what am i doing? isn't that acting???????!!?????????????????!!????????????????????!!?????????!!???????????!!!??????????!!????????!!????

>>13048203
No, just narrow-minded twunks can't fathom anything beyond fedoras and hot pockets. It is an excellent thing to contemplate though (the image in op)

>>13049084
>but at least I'm not posturing to make a point for external validation from other "intellectuals"
Then why did you post this? Don't tell me you were trying to "enlighten" us? "help," "teach," or "convince" us of something?

>>13049168
You can be like that if you want, but you know that's not what I'm talking about. Debating about whether or not I should shoot you is an action, but much different than me simply and actually shooting you.

>>13049206
No, because op made me upset. I should have abstained but I slipped. Forgive me

We live in a society...

>>13049208
Ok following your exemple, You said "The only dialectic that matters in this temporal and material world is that of action" and then "There's no need to discuss what is to happen" if we discuss about shooting me before doing it, i might convince you to renounce. The first action "discussing" led to a different outcome, so how discussing doesn't matter?

>>13049265
Because persuasion isn't necessarily tied to truth. If you're a sophist, you might be able to convince me to not act in a truthful way. The only way to find truth is through action for material shit, discussion for metaphysical.

>>13048203
It's not trendy to sincerely care about anything. Those types of people are too easy to mock, and I have to get my frustration out somewhere.

>>13049307
I want to add that actions have an end. The end here is what truth is tied to. So, if something I would do is beneficial, that can only be found out by judging the end of that potential action, which requires actual action. Many things sound great on paper or in books, but if it's tied to the material it must be put into action for it to matter.
So in OP's image, saying people don't care about meaning is fine and all, but if that's your only contribution towards finding meaning for yourself or others is empty.

>>13048771
>that’s the nature of existing.
but how do you really know that? XDDD

>wondering about this

>I ponder my existence not like those other commoners *spit*
Commoners are a miserable form of existence. All thoughts dwelling on them are wasted. Compare yourself with great figures instead.
>Did they see this?
>What was Hegel's mind like?

>>13048109
nobody asked you

>>13050546
nobody asked you either

"Am I here?"

Because my parents had sex once and my Father couldn't figure out a Condom.

What exactly is wrong with the "work-eat-entertaniment-sleep" cycle? Do you masturbate, sleep, go on facebook and sleep again? What is your 'cycle'?

>>13048167
It’s a banal statement that assumes way too much. It’s a child’s thought, a music lyric.

The sarcasm is justified, not overwrought at all. And I don’t sense any inherent cynicism

>>13051007
I’m going to give you an inflated ego huh ;3

Why*

OH MY UNMOVED MOVER, I PICKLE RICKING LOVE READING!!! START WITH LE GREEKS!!!!!!

its like you enjoy getting cucked by literally everything from every angle. the only way to uncuck yourself in this era is to become a NEET. the NEET is the bull. i am the bull.

Is there a book about a r*tard rebelling ontologically against sleeping, eating and working?

>>13051424
biography of steve jobs

>>13051411
Holy... I want more

>>13051424
eating and sleeping are biological functions
wagecucking is unnatural as it gets, the literal antithesis of poopoo peepee. which is *chuckles* quite ironic, as wagecucking is SHIT

>>13051459
Wagecucking isn't always working. I've heard about many wagecucks who pretend to be busy.

>>13051007

You think we both aren’t doing a little bit of this on purpose?

There isn't one. There, saved you the trouble of reading all those books.

>>13051553
Not me :3

>>13048109
stupid image. most people think about this and have some kind of existential crisis when they're like 13 and inevitably come to the conclusion that there's no fucking way for us to know and move on to find meaning in other places. in fact the person who made this image might just be a 13 year old.

Shit people are actually genuine sometimes :3

I don’t know man, honestly who gives a fuck. Women come on the Chan all the time. I honestly don’t know why trips aren’t enforced like /biz/ kind of. It leads to some obvious flaws like you lose who you really are.

For this I’m thankful that she exists I suppose. She has, and she knows she has. She only posts when I’m posting. And that’s a defense mechanism because we get banned sometimes.

So I only post when she does.

>>13051687
I’ve heard of this. True love

>>13051687
best of luck to you my man, though it sounds like she has already fallen for you. Lucky man!
