It's about being content with the hierarchy (in a general sense). If you overvalue yourself you will not be happy, humbly accept the verdict that is bestowed upon you in relation to your contribution to society. Whether you are great or not is to be determined by the people around you, not yourself.

>>17730112
Out of curiosity, what clues have led you to believe you're destined for greatness? I guess you must be a great writer if you posted here. A fun exercise for you might be to read great works, but write them better.

>>17730207
I already faced a few fucked up things in my childhood and yet still have the courage to achieve what i want. And i do that.

I read it. I know about this book and im surprised that it wasn't first response.
>>17730217
Yeah i definetely will.
>>17730224
All people put each other down, especially the ones who achieved a lot. I dont care what people tell me, except a few people who i believe and trust. But your advice is good. Humbleness is good. Im humble with good people. I respond to good people with kindness.

Im looking at my career path and opportunities that i have. The ideas that i have. And symbols in my childhood that showed me that there is no way im going to live a regular 9-5 life.

>>17730283
They don't put you down. Our societies are constructed in a manner that they will elevate you in relation to how useful you are to other people. Being great in this context largely means being useful. If you don't get that there will be a lot of bitterness and envy in your future.

You should read books with successful main characters who remain humble.. like les mis? That way, when you will at least not be an asshole when you are off doing great things.

>>17730283
You might have read Crime & Punishment, but I don't think you understand it if you still think you are destined for greatness. Reread it.

>>17730318
Greatness is an abstract term, and I don't think it can be reduced to plain "usefulness".

>>17730112

>Im looking at my career path and opportunities that i have. The ideas that i have. And symbols in my childhood that showed me that there is no way im going to live a regular 9-5 life.
Already responded. I just have that eerie feeling since early childhood that i will do something big. Always was disconnected from everyone and alone with that feeling. I am highly ambitious and extremely cold blooded when it comes down to relationships with people. I just feel like that. And i, hopefully, will, do it for the better.

>>17730112
Yes.

if you're destined for greatness you go to fucking work, or before it study the last bits you need to do it efficiently. anything you read is incidental. successful people don't read. they may have read a few random classics but that's it. or they do it modestly at bedtime for 20 minutes. and this >>17730129 or anything else that you make your personal bible and draw strength and purpose from

also fuck off from image boards. they're a fast place for answers like this, so use them only for that. it's no use being destined for greatness if you get stuck in one of the many loops that can prevent it

>>17730614
you told me the absolute truth. sometimes i do lose focus for stupid shit like that. i just wanted to read something important because currently i have time for that.

>>17730485
The Khan or Hitler were 'great' in the sense of nihilistic historical significance, you propably don't want that. The alternative is excelling in virtues or hierarchies that are promoted by society because they are useful. Sophie Scholl was great even though her existence was of little significance before her death, reason being that she embodied principles that are of great value to society. That's greatness proper and anything celebrated by society originates in its perceived usefulness.

this have bits of true but is ultimately a lie. the worst of all is that society celebrate completely random things. not the most useful, but if they see greatness in that usefulness. there is an evasive notion in greatness that useful just cant adhere.

>>17730815
Greatness as a qualitative statement has to relate to usefulness. It's the only way we are capable of thinking, good = what's in our interest. The transcendent good is society inducing behaviours that are good/necessary for society while in a material sense catastrophic for the individual (like martyrdom). These are our highest ideals because they represent the complete suspension of individual interest for others. The greatest person here again is just someone who gives everything to you. That's our concept of morality - usefulness.

>>17730896
one part of my post was about how, even if greatness is related to usefulness, usefulness is random in itself so you can be a failure looking for "usefulness". i mean, is not so illuminating as it seems.

also, you are putting martyrdom as suspension of individual interest and the origin of it greatness. but i think the greatness is because you cant do it and you know you cant do it. sometimes because you dont have the balls to do it, and you know it, and then it become greatness. that is the elusive part you dont see or want to force in the usefulness molde. we need that strange envy so usefulness can become greatness.

I wanted to write that as well when I saw how the guy wrote.

He's not at all appearing to be any sort of charismatic, honestly: if not for the provocative topic I doubt one of his threads would've gained much traction.
You can actually measure your people-drawing ability quite well on this site by seeing if you can get people to reply to discussions or rather boring seeming thread, if your replies are kek or lmfao, threads bumped and screencaps: stuff like that etc.
Not putting in the effort to spell I's properly in the English language seems pretty dumb to me. Someone who's actually ambitious and convinced of themself to such a degree would always be bothered by seeming not genuine or seeming fallable, likle to make mistakes, because of not writing properly, in the sense of: why should I give you my money, my time, my attention if you can't be bothered to give me yours.

I would say that someone ambitious and feeling destined would never claim to be destined but rather announce their goals and make concrete plans: "I am destined I feel it," doesn't have the same effect, I find, as "I will do x by time y, and it will be the best thing; and if I fail I shall fucking die."
Maybe just me.
This kid seems pretty Schizoid, it's not a god complex; having little exposure to the outside world turns you to the refuges of fate, or even grander, destiny--which this reminds me of. I remember a patient from ages ago who had something similar going on with him.

>>17730896
>The transcendent good is society
What did Uncle Nietzsche have to say about that?
>To the teachers of selfiessness. - A person's virtues are called good with respect to their presumed effects not on him but on us and society - the praise of virtues has always been far from 'selfless', far from 'unegoistic'! For otherwise one would have had to recognize that the virtues (such as diligence, obedience, chastity, piety, justice) are mostly harmful to their possessors, being drives which dominate them all too violently and covetously and in no way let reason keep them in balance with the other drives. When you have a virtue - areal, complete virtue (and not just a small drive towards some virtue) - you are its victim! But the neighbour praises your virtue precisely on that account! One praises the diligent even if he should harm his vision or the originality and freshness of his spirit; one honours and feels sorry for the youth who has 'worked himself to death' because one thinks: 'For society as a whole the loss of even the best individual is merely a small sacrifice! Too bad that the sacrifice is necessary! It would surely be much worse though if the individual had thought otherwise and considered his own preservation and development more important than his work in the service of society!And so one feels sorry for this youth, not for his own sake but
because a devoted tool, ruthless towards itself - a so-called 'good man' - has been lost to society through his death.

You're just describing extraordinary usefulness. Individually we can't imagine people doing things that are so removed from their material self-interest and you shouldn't be motivated by the psychological need to induce envy in others. That's not the path to greatness, it's all about subduing your ego. If you would ask people who are the greatest men who ever lived you would get answers like Jesus, Buddha, Ghandi or MLK. It's clear what these people have in common, sacrifice of the self. This is the highest ideal and where the judgement of greatness is to be found.
What you imagine is largely found in wordly hierarchies. People want to be Elon Musk or whatever. They want the talents that would bestow a high social status on them but these people are not great in an ideal sense. They usually just have useful talents.

Read books on alchemy. Specifically Evola's "introduction to magic". I'd also recommend Machiavelli as a guide to all your future actions in life.
Ignore all the slave moralists ITT who base their self-worth on good boy points. The first thing you should be doing if you truly want to be great and self-differentiated is coming up with an income stream that isn't dependent on the opinions of other people, one that will keep a roof over your head. Once you've done that you're free to take risks other people cant and have opinions other people cant, and that alone will make you a more charismatic and magnetic personality.

Sophie Scholl wasn't against society in a fundamental way. She embodied the highest virtue of all societies and would've been a saint thousands of years ago as well. We always celebrate the same thing - give me everything demand nothing. The particulars aren't even that relevant - I disagree with this because I consider it immoral, no I would not want to escape judgement if it meant I had to lie - execute me if you have to. Then without a single sign of fear to the chopping block. That's admirable even if it only relates peripherally to an accepted view of reality. That this comes from a little girl just destroys us, it's superhuman. And the regime that executes such a person has to be despised for it no matter your political convictions.

Don't be so mellow-dramatic. Every society on earth throws up a couple sexy young women as virgin sacrifices for their ideals. If the NAZIs had won you'd be repeating a bit about some pure self-sacrificing little German girl who got abused by a Jewish pimp in order to provide for her grandmother.
Its a hackneyed trope to aspire people towards being self sacrificing worker ants, no different than the white feather movement in Britain. I for one am not going to let an idealistic piece of pussy determine my moral compass or relationship with society.
>The particulars aren't even that relevant - I disagree with this because I consider it immoral, no I would not want to escape judgement if it meant I had to lie - execute me if you have to.
You're dumb man. Nobody who is executed is thrown up as a martyr, and more likely than not under one of these regimes you'd be framed up as some sort of pervy sex freak, not a heroic dissident who distributed fliers. Your family would be pressured into testifying against you, and the last memories you'd have of the society you cucked for would be a jeering mob waving banners and rehashing everything they dislike about you while you are put in chains and shipped off to die in some forced labour camp.

>>17731737
No because the ideal is total usefulness. Negate all your individual interest and put your body and mind in total service of me(society). This is what we call greatness.
Obviously people get confused and you will get the label in a colloquial form and often also the social benefits when you are at the top of a hierarchy in general. That's one of the reasons people treat celebrities almost as religious figures.

>>17731826
You don't get it. I'm not talking about particular societies but society in general. The nature of morality here never changes and holds true across all cultures. You can be objectively moral which is why all these systems look so similar. And don't be vulgar about Sophie Scholl, it's disgusting.

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

You sound exactly like Eliott Rodgers. Read his manifesto. It's uncanny. You're actually a known stereotype but don't interact with other people frequently enough to have ever been called out on it.

Like most schizoids you'll try to come up with excuses for your symptoms. Hopefully you at least won't end up shooting up a bunch of people as the rift between your fantastical perspective and that of the outside world widens past a tipping point (which is when schizoids turn schizophrenic and lose control of their perception entirely).

>>17737390
>>17738449
You're being punished for your hubris, not by god, but by reality. Most hubris lead to self destruction.

Delusion of grandeur are especially ironic because they will lead you to be demoralized from the get go, since a part of your mind (your actual consciousness typically) knows full well you're highly unlikely to reach your absurd expectations.

So you paradoxically end up a bigger loser than everyone around you because your perfectionism leads you to become a neglectful daydreamer or downright chronic procrastinator.

I can view objectively and the steps I had taken had lad ground work that was bear fruits but at an important step the wind blew and the path changed. My work isn't undone but I'm paralyzed to stall any longer to correct.

If your 'greatness' was being a successful plumber then sure, I did react impertinently to your post.

At the risk of sounding snubbish I don't think you should use 'greatness' to describe humble, realistic goals. Getting a degree, a fun good paying job, and a family is a great objective but not a grandiose one.

However the fact that you're not even revealing that objective, even on an anonymous mongolian basket weaving forum, is a dead giveaway that you're insecure, anon.

It's clear your reaction to my obscurity is unchecked vindictiveness because I'm not giving you what you want: extra ammo to build more false assumptions on half truths—placing your cynicism in a reductive breakdown of my words. Your own insecurity is apparent in that you seem in complete rejection of the idea that a person could be making progress towards some form of greatness and that even my complaints are delusional. We're talking in concepts and yet you resent the fact I don't use factual examples so you can either reduce the goal or reduce the steps as either too realistic or too unrealistic using yourself as a measure where your clearly common faculties are some sort of authority.

I will Hex this thread because it is stale and there is nothing to say.

Back to my thread after a day. So many people assumed that i am crazy and started acting like psychologists. Why do you guys feel offended when someone is not afraid to speak about himself? Why you put other people down with “schizo” “elliot roger” “autist” etc. This is what ive been talking about at the start of the thread. Its fine tho. Im used to it. Same thing happened when my friend roasted me for wanting to get into stocks in 2018 and now i have a mil. He stopped talking with me when i showed him bank account and a screenshot of his message. His message was “lol you wont do shit and will go broke fucking retard”. And things like that happen to me all the fucking time. Instead of trying to put others down learn dignity, learn kindness, put your fucking ego aside and be approachable instead of acting like your daddy Jung.

>>17743139
>Why do you guys feel offended when someone is not afraid to speak about himself?

No one is. That's just your own projection. It's a good thing that you can at least expose that side of yourself to anonymous voices on the internet.

You're not the first loon with delusions of grandeur, there are millions in your shoes, almost completely cut off from contacts outside their immediate family.

You don't have to take those anonymous' word for it. Why don't you go out and start a conversation based on the premise of your OP with people you know, face to face, see if you can convince them that you're destined for greatness.

Also 'tits or gtfo' applies to any threads based on an unlikely personal claim. So, even in the highly unlikely event that we're talking to the next Napoleon, provide proof of your greatness or gtfo, this place isn't your personal blog.

I mean, if that's your first thought, negative one, maybe problem with you? Anyway, it was a good thread. Because there were a few very good points made about me being not humble enough, which is i think might be truth, that's not very Christ-like. And also there were lots of great recommendations, ill start with the greeks of course.

Maybe you are right. I just said what i believe in. I believe in that. That's me. What's funny is i don't say that i am the one. There are lots of people like me, there are even more people who are more successful than me at the moment (and i would love to meet and talk with this people so they will give me legit advice,i came here only for books to further my inspiration and help my path). And literally everybody in this thread can become succesful if they change their mindset, but they never will, because being petty to yourself is hell of a drug, maybe even bigger drug than egomania (which i guess people think i have, there is lots of psychologists now for some reason, maybe they want to play pretend or to jerk off their ego by showing themselves and everyone how good they are with psychoanalysis).

Does it need to be cured? If it pushes him to pursue greatness then what is the problem?

Man im still in this thread. So i think i will give you advice. People shitted on me here but i hope you weren't one of them. Just start with what interests you and what can be monetized. Like for real. If you like fashion, music, just whatever the fuck. After that create a project in your head and on a paper, that will help people in that field, that will legit be useful. After that do everything in your power to give that side project a breath of life. As i said, i got interested in stocks, read a bunch of shit on the internet about that (0 books on economics, 0 books on stocks, just internet). Invested 70% of my savings from my job into that. Made a bunch of money. I will keep that money to start my project. I have the idea for one, and asked a bunch of people about that, everyone claimed it to be an interesting thing. After some time (because i need more money, more knowledge that my jobs actually gives me, more expirience and more connections) i will leave my job and start my project. And i believe, that shit shit might legit, help the world. Basically all you gotta do is to find a source of income where you work for yourself and you are your only boss. That feeling of being near a canyon when you can fall and die will motivate you further. Honestly i enjoy this feeling. It's fucking inspiring.

I agree with you and OP, people's automatic response is to take you down if you have any self respect or personal ambition. People are terrible, don't let them get to you

Why do you hate incels? We are just a bunch of sad lonely people.

While this poem shows a truth, we literally have nothing else to do with our existence. If we want to prove --to ourselves, not to anyone else-- what we're capable of then we may as well try, or not, I mean do whatever you want!

>I think
KEK, you haven't even evolved to I Know yet. Your greatness is nothing compared to mine. The stars bend to the aura which I radiate. My sole purpose on this planet is to show you just how powerful a human can become. Greats, such as myself, don't need to think it. They are it.

It says i feel. Are you dyslexic? Radiate some neurons in yo head.

I don't know, but I think people typically attempt to destroy society

curb your enthusiasm retard. Stop thinking about going to the moon when you haven't figured how to climb a mountain. You're headed for one massive existential wall, possibly an endless mid life crisis if you repress your consciousness like that.

watch Jonathan Bowden speeches on yt

Bhagavad-Gita, Greek epics, Campbell's 'The Power of Myth', Jung, Robert's Napoleon biography

Generally if you feel you are on some path and have an ounce of self-awareness to feel you aren't being completely delusional then take the perennialist-Guenon (pbuh) pill. Jesus wasn't 30 until his purpose truly manifested

>'great' in the sense of nihilistic historical significance
No, they were objectively GREAT. Khan in particular was a strong and ruthless warrior in his own right, but by his mind he conquered almost all of Asia. He was an obscenely powerful person by any metric except altruism and abstinence. "Great" doesn't mean something is nice.

How does one gauge verbal intelligence, and for that matter, what in the hell a g-load?

>>17744126
Honestly I'm starting to agree with OP, so many lit anons are just sad fucks who live only to tear other people down to their level, that was not a bad post but your reply was dogshit, why did you even bother posting it?
