That you are yourself always responsible for how you act and how you cope with things in your life. That also goes for what you do and don't do with your it.

Marx, Darwin and Freud were all correct.

i don't want to be stabbed against my will, unironically
this thought got me out of a pretty deep hole

voting should be a right that has to be earned via exam.

That most people are full of shit because morality begins with the most basic principle, "do my actions have victims?" yet they are still carnists. The meat industry creates suffering that in one year dwarfs all the human misfortunes in history, look at those PETA gore videos.

Dwelling on this for too long will make you blackpilled though because who wants to live in a world where 99% of people are, by any reasonable standard, mustache-twirling villains worse than slavers or whatever. Morality to most people is affectation, they lie to others and themselves because it's easy. I literally refuse to even entertain any carnoid nigger's arguments about anything that involves morality ever.

>morality begins with the most basic principle, "do my actions have victims?"
The fact that we kill insects for pleasure disproves this. The most basic axiom of morality is “what will lead to preferable experience?” And killing people leads to bad experiences for you, whereas the best way to deal with ants is to get enjoyment out of killing them. Similarly, some animals are most valued for their meats, and so they should be eaten. But other animals, like dogs, are better as companions and don’t taste as good and so that’s why we don’t kill them.

The reason why you’re a vegan and I’m not is because the animal industry causes you to suffer but not me. The suffering of the animals is only an indirect cause.

>>15928867
Even if you'll switch from meat, you will still kill and torture plants.

>>15928963
>The fact that we kill insects for pleasure disproves this.

also i'm not actually a vegan anymore and agree that it's mainly just the industrial aspect, but given that industrial animal torture is here to stay until luxury gay space communism, eating industrial meat is evil

>>15928988
Plant argument immediately destroys vegan ideology.

Medics are the group of people who get the most unearned respect and they should go under an immense scrutiny.

>>15928988
>insects are likely incapable of suffering
it wouldn’t matter if they were. The reason it’s so easy to mess with them is because they can’t retaliate. I can torture an ant and be will never hurt me. No one will stop me, either. It’s not illegal. And since this ant has no value to me in any other way, there’s nothing wrong with it.

Why should suffering matter if it’s not your suffering? I’d like to see you attempt to make a coherent argument

The Jews are the chosen people and Israel belongs to them, they need to rebuild the Third Temple of Jerusalem in order to bring the second coming of the Messiah. Judaism is the strongest religion because it showcases God’s strength and ability to cause destruction to the land in the Torah. Christianity is a cheapening of Judaism, they turned the religion of one of forgiveness, when the Jews were about being exclusive, Christianity was about being inclusive and turning the other cheek and sacrificing God’s son Jesus who is also God, which makes no sense whatsoever. Christianity is a death cult whereas Judaism focuses and having children and traditional gender roles, Christianity is inferior to Judaism. Islam is superior to Christianity because it is a warrior religion in which Muhammed spread religion by conquest and by the sword. The way the world is is spiritually ordained by a higher force, and people must transcend the scientific and metaphysical hierarchy in order to by engaged with God. Survival of the fittest is prescriptive of how society should be. Freud was right and children have sexuality and experience sexual pleasure, Jung was right that there is a shadow and an anime. That every person is contrasexual. Life is about transcending the hierarchy, but also about going within. Intersectional feminism is cancer. Marx was right about alienation, but there is no rationalistic solution via his method of historical materialism. Neoplatonism, Gnosticism and Kabbalah correctly describe the penentheism of God. To reach higher spiritual plains. Nietzsche’s concept of Aristocracy and Dionysian aesthetics is spot on, and resentment and petty vengeance is for the weak, compassion is not a virtue, charity is good if it makes one feel powerful. Power is good. Hollywood sells American Propoganda and exports The Pseudo-American Dream to India and the Asia, but its ideology is an illusory joke, the ideology of love at first sight and romance, and finding the perfect job and the worshipping Hero Archetype. All of that is illusory American nonsense that refuses to a introspect and to force its viewers to introspect. Capitalism has created false wantrepreneurs, selling nothing to people, digital marketing is overrated, Silicone Valley is under an ideological delusion that technology will save the world and democratise society. Democracy is poison. It is rule of the mob. Rule of the dumb. Group think is evil. Individuality and individual evil is better than group evil.

>>15929036
you’re just valuing the material world over the spiritual

I eat meat because training my body is my one passion in life and I must nourish it with the most bioavailably complete proteins and amino acids. Plant proteins are inferior for muscle building and recovery. And yes, my passions take precedence over the lives of other creatures. I only coexist peacefully with society for the mutual social contract which allows me to pursue my passions. I have no such covenant with animals.

>>15929036

The free choice to turn the other cheek, to be humble, to be merciful -- this is an expression of power, when it is not forced upon us, but desired as an individual -- to subordinate pleasure to your will, realised as love for all beings.

>>15928513
The further we drift away from tradition -- proper familial relations and religiosity, in particular -- the more psychologically and socially miserable and disordered we become. This is why Heidegger said, "Only a god can save us."

Also lol at the vegan who cares about morals of meat industry. This is the same faggot who is typing on keyboards and wearing clothes made by tiny Chinese/ Indian slave hands. It’s a clown world we’re living in and you’re bozo.

>>15929120
what’s so good about having free will if you can’t even stop yourself from being lazy and procrastinating? No one is perfect. Why is that? Why freely choose what you know is bad for you? Doesn’t sound like freedom to me.

Thinking that you can influence state policy in some way is a pure delusion. Even if all people were absolutely equal, then in a country of million voters you'd have almost no chance to changes some decision by your vote. That isn't even relevant because IRL <1% of people have >99% of all power, so your power is even more minuscule.

>>15929135
Er, free will exists not because it would be good for it to exist, but because it exists.

>>15929141
If you want to influence state power you have to demonstrate your value to the nation/state by founding a major business that moves the needle on gdp, then people will listen to the shit you say. if you're just some guy with a bachelors that works at starbucks, legit why do you think you should have more than a miniscule impact on policy?

>>15929180
The question is why a capitalist should have more say than anyone else just because he moves the needle on gdp.

>>15929092
Based. Are you a dualist?

Because it shows he has exceptional managerial skill and an understanding of international trade and relations, and has personally improved the material conditions of the country. I for one welcome Eric Schmidt's work on creating a new elite American tech school.

>Because it shows he has exceptional managerial skill and an understanding of international trade and relations, and has personally improved the material conditions of the country.

It really doesn't. It just shows that he had the capital to start a business and consumers buy his products/services, that's it. 80% of succeeding in the market is luck, and the rest is capital you borrowed from your already rich family.

>>15928513

>>15929323
Good goy.

>>15929323
But that's not why you work those "extra" 100 hours. All hours beyond justifying your own exact paycheck, is work you do to make someone else rich.

>>15929315
There are many ways to raise capital, most of it absolutely does not come from "angel investors". You are stupid, but luckily you will have no say in the management of our civilization, so what you believe doesn't matter. Enjoy wasting you life being a resentful bug!

>>15929335
There is no "justified paycheck".

>>15929323
>yes, goy, the past was terrible! Now, get in your cagie, wagie!

>>15929335

You think peasants didn't spend any time working to make someone else rich? You guys are truly trash. "I can't compete in the modern world, someone make me a serf again so I don't have to think!"

>>15929198
He has that power because he has that power. It's a tautology, but it is more wise than asking "why".

>>15929341
>There are many ways to raise capital

No there's not. Either you borrow it from someone, or you already had it before you thought about starting a business, usually from a rich family.

>luckily you will have no say in the management of our civilization

Yeah because the people currently in charge are doing such a great job lol.

>>15929362
Since we're all meritocratic monarchists here its not really our place to question the order of things. What are you a fucking marxist?

>>15929356
>You think peasants didn't spend any time working to make someone else rich?

They did, but they worked way less in order to do it, and the people they worked for didn't take 80% of their productivity.

>>15928513
people don't know how to talk to each other, that's one reason why they come up with their own theories about "how evil people are" or other bullshit about society so they can distance themselves from the stranger on the street,

I'm not saying people aren't evil, you can find enough justification for that claim, but I'm still a proponent that you should have a healthy relationship to society, so you don't end up making life choices that are based on that frustration,

banal example, you will talk about how it's hard to find a girlfriend/boyfriend in today's times, once you find them, of course the person will be special, because you rigged the game from the start, and congratulations, your relationship is based on your psychotic takes on society,

For truly great men, women were a side meme that they quickly got bored of. Alexander the great and Caesar didn't do what they did for pussy. Pussy is only the goal for lower level plebians. If they didn't have that goal some may be demotivated, but most would find a better purpose in life. Pussy doesn't build empires.

>>15928513
Women should not vote

>>15929462
No I don't think so, but it's fairly clear that exploitation is far more significant under capitalism than under feudalism, given that the average rich guy in that era lived in the manor a short walk from the serf's house and perhaps employed some knights and mercs, whereas Jeff Bezos can buy the Washington Post because they wrote something bad about him and fire 500 people because he feels like it.

>>15929483
If in a future rich people will own galaxies and plebs will just have a couple of planets max, then such a future will be preferable to nowadays.

>>15929498
Except that's not the future Mr. "Capitalism is the wave that lifts all ships".

The future will be half the planet starving to death because labor is replaced by machines, and capitalists and their ideology producers in the media will call all the people dying for racists, nazis and deplorables who deserve their fate.

An average person is not someone worse than half of others and better than another half. Average person is someone worse that square root of population. For example if in some town (or trade, or art) there are 10000 people, then average means being 100th best.

>>15929964
>Science (expecially medicine) and technology are the new religion
Agreed. Especially true about medicine because technology progressed a lot and still progresses, but life expectancy didn't grow that much and is now stopping to grow.

>>15929479
Retard take. Maybe this was true in the past but now women are on average as smart, or even smarter than men. Sure, it could be argued that there are more men with exceptional intelligence than women, to think that all men should vote but all women should not Is moronic. Most people,male or female, shouldn't vote.

>>15929479
Poor should not vote too.

I think the Democrats will push for this if the right continues to be successful on the internet. You can't let the poor vote if they take their marching orders from Qanon instead of CNN.

>>15930231
>Most people,male or female, shouldn't vote.
That would be true only if all the political power came from the popular voting. But in reality power comes from the inner elite dealings and voting has only minor consultative part in that.

Care to explain?

Homosexual relationships are only valid and true between males, there does not exist a woman that is solely committed to other females. I know this from personal experience and analysis of gender relations

Also bisexuality should be illegal and recognized as illegitimate

>>15935271
Homosexual men go though hundreds of partners within a year. AIDS patient zero had 250+ different sexual partners a year.

>>15935295
my point was that only self-claimed homosexual men have actual lust and desire for other members of the opposite sex so the statement "Homosexual men go though hundreds of partners within a year" actually proves my point further. Compared to self-claimed "lesbians" who will have 1 or 2 girlfriends but will usually say something like "I'm not fully gay" when the inevitably find a male they're attracted to.

>>15935336
If you fuck hundreds upon hundreds of partners a year they aren't "relationships".

the difference is one you get to choose and the other is chosen for you. No one is making you wageslave you stupid goy. If you didn't need to CONSUME MORE PRODUCT then you can easily save enough money in 5 years to never work again. Too bad you're retarded.

>>15935495
A relationship is any kind of connection between two or more individuals. There is no definition for the term "relationship" that includes the concept of time so yes, a 10-minute cruising session in a men's bathroom stall is still considered a relationship between two individuals. There are relationships where only sex is exchanged. You might not agree with it but they certainly exist outside the realm of your morality.

>>15935552
Then by your own logic. Since you have such a low standard for what consists a relationship, Lesbian relationships are valid you fucking retard. You don't even believe this shit either way. This is not your most strongly held belief, it's a faggy fucking hot take designed to get you some (You)s. If a gun were held to your head, and you were asked to proclaim the opposite, you would not hesitate to do so.

>>15935527
Secondly, artificial intelligence should be heavily limited, and not replace blue collar jobs, but only to be used to calculate things like travel trajectories and marketing artificial relationships.
Thirdly, civilization will never expand beyond Earth, and people like Elon Musk are being controlled by current global elite into making sure this is so.
Fourth, it was a mistake for males to give up their forefathers' homesteading knowledge and traditional values in exchange for urbanization, as it has led modern families to be inherently weak, poorly structured and dissolved, men to be inherently ignorant, lost and therefore weak, and women to be misguided, tergiversant and foolish.

"Why should suffering matter if it's not your suffering?"
What is the difference between your suffering and other suffering? The whole goal of compassion, as the basis of morality, is to reduce the principium individuationis as far as you can. To be compassionate to other beings is moral. To include more beings in your sphere of compassion is more moral.

>>15937877
>What is the difference between your suffering and other suffering?
That it is mine.

Consciousness is the mother of all horrors

>>15937911
It is possible to enlarge the scope of your identity beyond your individual human mind and body, and to understand that all suffering is your own.

my penis is small

>>15938133
Then it's purely my choice whether to suffer or not and there is no moral dilemma in that.

>>15938171
The moral dilemma boils down to: should you hurt yourself?

>>15938239
Sure why not? Lots of pleasure to be had in masochism.

>>15938239
Maybe I shouldn't, but in any case that makes it a question of benefit, not of the crime. If I will hit someone or kill him, it's a crime, but if I'll hurt myself or even try to suicide, that's not a crime.

My cock is so dry after cumming in the four girls before her.

Untrue

Men physically peak in their 20's but their overall value increases until they reach senility. Women peak in their teens, retain some vestigal beauty through their mid 30's (into their 50's if they are exceptionally gifted or proactive), and decline soon after. Their intelligence doesn't matter and their constitution is negligble

>>15938451
No, most famous mathematicians reached their peak in 20s (with some extreme examples like Galois before that), and that's the most imaginative area. Of course if you work on less imaginative stuff, you can retain some of the initial value, but even in the best case it's slow decay.

>>15938473
Holy shit, that's a massive cock.

>>15938479

Crystallized intelligence increases as people age, and for men, their value increases in other ways, mainly their ability to accrue capital

It just isn't the same for chicks. Look at any single woman over the age of 40 with money; she has everything because of the men in her life

>>15938451
Woman will not prefer 50 years old man to 25 years old with everything else equal. Of course he can be rich enough to woo her with his money, but that's not a good recipe for happiness. That's especially true if the woman is young.

>Plant proteins are inferior for muscle building and recovery

I'm not really sure how I should answer this question.

>>15928513
...that all of humanity's problems stem from their inherent hate for personal autonomy. Ever since the forming of kingdoms and nation states, humans have increasingly given up as much autonomy as they can to increasingly corrupt power structures of governance. If humans learned to detach themselves from governance and invested time and effort into forming direct autonomous societal structures in which they come together as sentient individuals, most modern problems would disappear and they could finally focus on solving the really essential ones.

In the modern world, the principal moral conflict isn't between morality and immorality, but between morality and amorality. Addiction to comfort is the most dangerous of addiction of all. A close second is the addiction to productivity for its own sake.

It was disgusting, but sad. A person obviously with severe mental pain and confusion. I didn't want them to come anywhere near me, like they were like an unpredictable and dangerous being.

World/ reality is our representation, never given by itself objectively.

We are made to experience life, it can't be avoided and there is no break from this experience. Death is the mere concept of what it would be like to stop experiencing life, similar to the concept of how we can imagine a dream less sleep, but not experience dreamless sleep.

People who have committed unprovoked violence against another person are scum and must be despised by everyone around them until they die.
