I was hungover too. In the morning my father and I visited my dying grandmother in the nursing home. He bought her a breakfast from McDonald's: I watched her eat her breakfast and watched as she in fits of loud groaning choking coughed back up the bits of food she was eating. I simply sat there and stared, and stared simply at all of the other dying shuffling old people dying and shuffling.

It makes you wonder after you've left of the stirrings in your own soul, how cruel and audacious all ambition is when right before you in the midst of it all is your own dying grandmother.

>“The frightening demon Alavaka was informed by a servant that Buddha had dared it to sit down on his throne. The demon became greatly enraged and asked: “Who is this Buddha that has dared to enter my dwelling?” But before this question could be answered, two other demons (friends of Alavaka), came passing through the sky to give him the inquired information. “Know you not Buddha, the lord of the world?” “Whoever he might be,” shouted Alavaka “I will drive him from my dwelling!” – They said with pity: “You are like a calf, just born, near a mighty bull; like a tiny elephant, near the king of the tribe; like an old jackal, near a strong lion; what can you do?”
>The demon Alavaka rose from his seat and raged: “Now we shall see whose power is the greater.” He struck with his foot upon the mountain, which sent forth sparks like a red hot iron bar struck by the sledge hammer of a smith. “I am the demon Alavaka,” he called out again and again “I am I!” Without delay the demon went to his dwelling and endeavored to drive Buddha away by a violent storm, but Buddha calmly remained sitting on the throne. After this, showers were poured down of glowing sand, weapons, charcoal and rocks; but Buddha remained unmoved. He then assumed a fearful form, but Buddha kept a straight face. He then threw his giant spear, but it was equally impotent. The demon was surprised, and looked to see what was the cause;
>'it was the kindness of Buddha, and kindness must be overcome by kindness, and not by anger.'
>So he quietly asked the sage to retire from his dwelling; and immediately Buddha arose and departed from the place. Seeing this, the demon thought, “I have been contending with Buddha a whole night without producing any effect, and now at a single word he retires.” By this his heart was softened. But he again thought it would be better to see whether he went away from anger or from a spirit of disobedience, and called him back. Buddha came. Thrice this was repeated, the sage returning when called after he had been allowed so many times to depart, as he knew the intention of Alavaka. When a child cries its mother gives what it cries for in order to pacify it; and as Buddha knew that if the demon were angry he would not have a heart to hear truth, he yielded to his command, that he might become tranquillised by obedience and kindness.
>Alavaka was conquered. He asked Buddha to open the treasure of his wisdom; and when he heard him speak, he adopted his teaching, and from that time he would go from city to city and from house to house, proclaiming everywhere the kindness of Buddha and the truth of the teaching.”
Isn't this story charming?

This is the most laughable and pretentious post I've seen in a long time. Anon here is some advice, you shouldn't care about whether people think you're smart or not. Instead of reading books because you so desperately want to impress others with your probable lacking intellect just read books you actually enjoy. This way you'll read way more too as you'll want to pick up the book instead of forcing yourself to do it because some other phony told you it was good.

Years pass and yet it feels like you could reach back through the decades to live your childhood yet again. Frozen memories like a sea of glass that fragments the more y,ou concentrate. Adulthood is not what they promised -- your peers are either still children, blind to the realities of the world; or soulless automatons with all the joy sapped from their gaze.

You gaze into the stars and feel time slipping away from you. Sizable portions of your life sunk into meaningless minutia; you wonder when your peak years are going to come... They promised that being a young adult would be full of fun and experiences, but it just feels empty and without sincerity. It's as if the magic the world held as a child died; taken away to some distant farm and put down for it's capital crime of naivete.

You've forgiven your parents. Eyes open to the realities of the world you see them for the fallible beings they are; triumphs and failures blending to create a sort of admiration. Is being an adult realizing how much of society is playacting and niceties? You don't know, but you do know that those warm, glowing emotions you see people laugh with; glowing embers enjoying eachother's warmth; you know they don't exist for you. You've been doomed since your formative years to be different from them. By genetics or will of god you don't know, but the end result is redundant.

You will always be apart from the masses and it terrifies you. 'What if I wanted normalcy?' you wonder. What if I wouldn't have chosen this?

As has become a recurring lesson, nothing answers.

Something has changed in me recently. Kind of like the premise of the movie Falling Down but less edgy and overtly violent. A twist in my persona, a turn towards a chippy, antagonistic mindset.

Both of my parents were born into a doomsday cult and expected the world to end before I became an adult. It's very hard to become independent and self driven coming from a background like that where everything is decided for you in advance, it would be very easy to just let someone else tell you what to do. Experience proves that to be an unwise choice, especially when that person who believes themselves to be infallible. My parents caused me a lot of pain that they will never admit to and it's hard to talk about these things because it's such a different experience from what people are used to.

>For one thing, each eye is like three eyes squeezed into one. The three parts all look at the same point in space, much as our two separate eyes focus on the same scene. We use our two eyes to locate an object in space. Mantis shrimps can work out the distance to objects they’re looking at using a single eye.
>Two eye parts, at the top and bottom of the eye, are probably involved in this distance vision. The third part is built from parallel rows of facets that run around the middle of the eye like a belt. Usually there are six rows, though a few species have only two. This part of the eye is called the “midband,” and it supports many special abilities.
>Further, most mantis shrimps see ultraviolet light – part of the electromagnetic spectrum that causes sunburn in you or me and that is invisible to our eyes. Mantis shrimps not only sense this light, but with their specialized midbands they even see separate colors of it.
>This feature is on top of another set of color detectors that see the same visible light we’re used to – but in eight color channels as opposed to the three primary colors we see. Imagine trying to build a TV that looks right to a mantis shrimp. Besides the red, green, and blue colors that your TV uses to create a vivid picture, it would require pixels for violet, indigo, blue-green, orange and a deeper red than we can see.
>And the midband can do even more. It can detect the polarization of light – where all the waves vibrate in the same plane. Our eyes cannot see this property of light. Mantis shrimps image things using it.
>So putting together all its visual talents, when a mantis shrimp sees a fish, it’s in patterns of ultraviolet colors, eight primary regular colors and polarized light. Their eyes gather all this information and pass it on to the animal’s brain, so it can decide what to attack, when to attack it, how far away it is, and what it looks like in a dozen different ways. It’s hard for a human to even imagine the visual world of a mantis shrimp.

I just had to share this shit. It's the actual liner notes for a Nancy Sinatra LP, from 1966. The one with "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" on it:

'How should I sing this?'

'Like a 16-year-old girl who's been dating a 40-year-old man, but it's all over now.'
She looks good, dresses good, lives good, eats, drinks, loves, breathes, dances, sings, cries good. Five-foot-three and tiger eyes. A mouth made for lollipops or kisses, stingers or melting smiles. Ninety-five pounds of affection. She's been there already. Barely in her twenties, she looks younger. That look, like Lolita Humbert, like Daisy Clover. The power to exalt, or to destroy, wanting only the former, but unafraid to invoke the latter if the time comes. The eyes that see through, know more, look longer. Unafraid to pull on the boots again, toss off a burnt out thing with a casual 'So long, babe,' and get.

A young, fragile, living thing, on its own in a wondrous-wicked-woundup-wasted-wild-worried-wisedup-warmbodied world. On her own. Earning her daily crepes and Cokes by singing the facts of love. Her voice tells as much as her songs. No faked up grandeur, her voice is like it is: a little tired, little put down, a lot loving. No one is born sophisticated. It's a place you have to crawl to, crawling out of hayseed country, over miles of unsanded pavement, past Trouble, past corners and forks with no auto club signs to point you, till you get there and you wake up wiser.

She's arrived. She sings you about the long crawl. And makes you have to listen.

Sculptors have tools that allow them to chip, mend, change and refine an unmoulded canvas into an image of their visions. Artists are always so critical of themselves, but once they get into a zone of concentration, they can work without tire for hours. The artist will forever try to strive to recreate what they see in their mind, sometimes taking hours, days, weeks even years to try to achieve their perfect concept. Their masterpiece. Before a masterpiece can be achieved however, the artist must go through rigorous failure. This failure tests their fortitude into achieving what they deeply desire, another attempt at something greater than previous, something for an audience to awe at with wonder on how the level of detail and intricacy can be achieved. It has a permanence that will hopefully outlast the artist when received.

>Your ability to reject all pussy except for hers is the test of your love.

This right here is some bullshit herd mentality.

Love is absolutely, UNEQUIVOCALLY not about self-denial. If you construe the strength of your relationship on the basis of negation or self-denial you are either going to turn into a self-deluding loser or you are going to realize you have been fucking miserable in however many years it takes you to accept to yourself that you are unhappy.

Love is not about self-denial, love is more like the accumulation of shared experience with someone that you share some fundamental viewpoints/characteristics with. If you are a really top tier human being who can't stand people in general this basically means shacking up with someone you can "reasonably tolerate".

Be a fucking human being about it. If you want to fuck other women then tell your wife and accept the consequences of doing so. Or don't fucking tell her. fuck other women and try to get away with it, then have the strength of character to be able to be comfortable living with your decision without souring your marriage or your view of yourself.

Those are your options if you are a healthy, autonomous individual unclouded by resentment.

21 year old kissless virgin. Have had extreme trouble with showing intimacy throughout my life. When I was younger and any interest of girl I had was implied everybody in my family would make a huge deal about it, as if being a normal sexual male was outside my character. I've internalized this and it has ruined me. In high school and college I had the interest of many girls but would never show that I was attracted, instead just feeding my ego telling myself I could get her if I wanted. Sick of this condition, I planned a big trip to stop being a pussy and just do it.
Been traveling around for a few months and have met many great people, I'm good looking and a great conversationalist so naturally in that environment I had the attention of woman. Many times it would be obvious they were waiting for me to make the move but I would freeze up. It feels wrong to show that I'm a sexual being overtly through touch. Again last night this happened and I could tell afterwards she was disappointed. She left this morning and ever since I fell into a serious downward spiral. I just can't seem to do it. I've felt regret like this before but in the moment those memories mean nothing. Anybody here had a similar problem? How do I keep myself from wasting my life?

A a mathematical theorem need have no relation at all to valid knowledge. For example, we can easily prove as a mathematical theorem that a rabbit has two horns:

All animals have two horns.
A rabbit is an animal.
Therefore, a rabbit has two horns.

This is a valid deductive proof, but is the conclusion valid?

Mere deductive proof does not lead to valid knowledge. We must check whether the assumptions are true. In this case the assumptions are false: simply point to an animal which has no horns. However, formal math forbids such commonsense, empirical proofs, based on its central dogma that deductive proofs are “superior”.

Anyway, the postulates of formal mathematics, say set theory, cannot be empirically checked. So formal mathematics is pure metaphysics. The only way to check its assumptions is to rely on authority – and in practice we teach only those postulates approved by Western authority. For example, calculus is done with formal real numbers (and not Indian non-Archimedean arithmetic, or floating point numbers used in computer arithmetic). School geometry is taught using Hilbert’s far-fetched synthetic postulates, not Indo-Egyptian cord geometry.

But I hope one day I can get it published. I hope one day I can get anything published. I'd like to make a living off being a writer but I don't romanticize "being a writer" as a profession. I just want to be able to make a living on it so I can continue writing and hopefully I can connect with people who feel the same way as I do, or just connect with anyone really. I want to make people laugh out loud with my writing and I want to make people tear up with my writing. I really want it to mean something to someone besides just me one day. I can't stand the pretension of things. I can't stand Rupi Kaur's poetry which I just read a whole book of in 30 minutes. It makes me viscerally angry imagining all the good writers out there who had something true, honest, genuine to say about the human experience, written beautifully, all unpublished and unknown but this girl writes poems about having a period, not shaving your armpits, and going through an awkward break up. Millions of dollars made, 77 weeks on the best seller list, unreal. There was nothing sincere or human about anything she wrote. There was nothing that nipped you on the arm like a lovable dog with an iffy temperament. Nothing human at all. Not even artistic expressions. Just statements of personal belief or political belief. I hope to avoid ever doing anything like that. I want to write something that will grip and cuddle and sting and befriend someone out there who understands.

I'm considering walking to the local cigar room. I want to smoke a cigar, read Gravity's Rainbow or continue to work on my second book. Additionally, I'm really considering breaking my sobriety. I'm not really sober in that I still use other drugs, but I haven't had a sip of alcohol in like 1250 days. I feel a bit like a fraud since I've done all types of other drugs since I "got sober." With that said, alcohol is the one that really fucked my life up so it's probably for the best that I don't get back into it.

Anyway, probably still going to cigar room and I likely won't beak my "sobriety" despite its fraudulent nature

Somehow it feels like a cruel joke that women were grieving/regretting transitional mastectomy and going on testosterone years before I started medical transition... and somehow I didn’t know that it was possible. I thought if you were trans, you were trans. And that detransition never really happened. I thought it was impossible, that it would never happen to me. I was so brainwashed.

Do it. People will also need to educate little boys on cleaning their penises however, and I don't know if society is ready for that. I didn't pull my foreskin back for the first time until I was 13 and the smegma made it painful and almost impossible. I thought I had a disease due to improper education on these matters so I avoided all intimacy even though there were numerous cuties my age that wanted to be with me. As a consequence I didn't lose my virginity until late into my twenties when I finally saw a doctor and showed them my junk and explained what was going on. I still have psychological issues surrounding this as I haven't had anywhere as much relationship experience as most people. If I had been circumcised I wouldn't have had these issues. Not to mention I could have had sex with numerous beautiful women which I rejected because I thought there was something wrong me with. This is a real problem we need to address also.

THAT day of wrath, that dreadful day,
shall heaven and earth in ashes lay,
as David and the Sybil say.
What horror must invade the mind
when the approaching Judge shall find
and sift the deeds of all mankind!
The mighty trumpet's wondrous tone
shall rend each tomb's sepulchral stone
and summon all before the Throne.
Now death and nature with surprise
behold the trembling sinners rise
to meet the Judge's searching eyes.
Then shall with universal dread
the Book of Consciences be read
to judge the lives of all the dead.
For now before the Judge severe
all hidden things must plain appear;
no crime can pass unpunished here.
O what shall I, so guilty plead?
and who for me will intercede?
when even Saints shall comfort need?
O King of dreadful majesty!
grace and mercy You grant free;
as Fount of Kindness, save me!
Recall, dear Jesus, for my sake
you did our suffering nature take
then do not now my soul forsake!
In weariness You sought for me,
and suffering upon the tree!
let not in vain such labor be.
O Judge of justice, hear, I pray,
for pity take my sins away
before the dreadful reckoning day.
Your gracious face, O Lord, I seek;
deep shame and grief are on my cheek;
in sighs and tears my sorrows speak.
You Who did Mary's guilt unbind,
and mercy for the robber find,
have filled with hope my anxious mind.
How worthless are my prayers I know,
yet, Lord forbid that I should go
into the fires of endless woe.
Divorced from the accursed band,
o make me with Your sheep to stand,
as child of grace, at Your right Hand.
When the doomed can no more flee
from the fires of misery
with the chosen call me.
Before You, humbled, Lord, I lie,
my heart like ashes, crushed and dry,
assist me when I die.
Full of tears and full of dread
is that day that wakes the dead,
calling all, with solemn blast
to be judged for all their past.
Lord, have mercy, Jesus blest,
grant them all Your Light and Rest. Amen.

They dominate so many important sectors of your society, yet they are only 2% of your total population. The majority of policy makers, federal reserve chairmen & financiers, media pundits, filmmakers, pawnbrokers, and various political and ideological tastemakers are Jewish. They occupy positions of power & influence far out of proportion to their number. 48% of billionaires are Jewish.

Also, this one Jew, who had a heart of gold (which is very rare), leaked Israel had 200 illegal nukes, and he was later tortured by Mossad because he had converted to Christianity:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordechai_Vanunu

He also validated Jews had a role in killing JFK:

"In July 2004, Vanunu claimed in the London-based Al-Hayat newspaper that the State of Israel was complicit in the assassination of John F. Kennedy. He claimed there were "near-certain indications" that Kennedy was assassinated in response to "pressure he exerted on Israel's then head of government, David Ben-Gurion, to shed light on Dimona's nuclear reactor".[162]"

Mao ordered a general campaign to destroy The Four Olds: Old Customs, Old Culture, Old Habits, and Old Ideas. Massive amount of Buddhist statues, ancient scrolls, porcelains were destroyed.

Finally, Jew are responsible for the abomination called "Critical Theory" and "Frankfurt School", which treats all social constructs as illegitimate use of power and relativizes all knowledge. It tends to promote degeneracy too with the likes of Susan Sontag who glorified Marquis de Sade to the goy whilst while hypocritically embracing Israel and its treatment towards Palestinians.

What's interesting is Jews poisoning European wells was claimed to be an "antisemitic conspiracy", yet they now do that to Palestinians.

How do you find motivation to write when you're depressed? I've taken to going on naked nightwalks lately. Well naked aside from sneakers and an overcoat which I'll take off and wear around my waist if I feel comfortable nobody is around to see me. It's getting to the time of year I'll have to pack it in though. I need to try to take better pictures and upload them to my Tumblr account since I'm going to be trying to get some more exposure from people as I work my way through these books over the next year. I'll get to them eventually though, so I need to get ready for those.

I have no idea if I'm going to get a job soon enough to put food on the table or if I even will. I am currently receiving an income from my family which means I could start my new job after I graduate from school. I need to work for a couple years, and my family hasn't been to visit me in hospital due to financial issues, so it still makes sense to move out to start that new life and life off my work.
