I've completed my screenplay and it's without a doubt my magnum opus. I've written over 300,000 words of prose across several unpublished novels and this is distillation, I feel, of all that labor in a taut and marketable work. My mom, a journalist and editor loved it, my dad, a media executive and former screenwriter himself has basically had no comments other than pointing out influences he recognized. I'm pretty pissed at the lack of feedback and feel like he thinks it is shit. Nevertheless it will probably still get sold and made because, you know, we're Hollywood Jews.

Circular reasoning is usually regarded as invalid and a bad argument, but when you dig down to the very bottom of any worldview, circular reasoning is inevitable. Whether you are the most hardline materialist atheist or you believe in any kind of religion, at some point, you cannot escape circular reasoning in your assumptions for how you view the world.

Can't stop thinking about it. It's been sitting in the back of my mind all semester. I try to make friends and connections at college, they can think I'm cool and I can act charming all I like, none of them know how scripted my speech is.
Can't stop thinking about her. That one girl who got past it. She knows I'm insecure. She knows how inexperienced with girls I am. The last time I saw her was the most awkward interaction in my past five years of life. We have our own unique language. The way we speak to each other couldn't be found anywhere else on earth. I pride myself on being able to understand people's feelings even when they speak few words, but she always puzzles me. What's going on in that little, endearing mind?
College girls are a lot easier to read. Their goals are nearly identical. They talk the same, giggle by the book, body language candid and natural.
When's the last time I could live so thoughtlessly, not self-conscious, moment to moment? My jokes and jabs are planned minutes in advance, my confidence calculated, all to sell a person that isn't real.
Ever since I met her one summer...

>after two days she texts me "hi anon i think i have a crush on you"

Bear with me because I'm an autist with no experience with women, but is this likely a prank of some sort? No girl would just outright say "I have a crush on you" without ever meeting said person, right? And I'm not exactly attractive / a huge catch either. Idk, something about this feels fishy but maybe more enlightened anons could give advice

To make it /lit/ related, i also recently ordered Derrida's Speech and Phenomena. Already read Of Grammatology and Writing and Difference, and excited to see how he gets his start with Husserl (of his works I've only read Logical Investigations, which was a great intro to phenomenology). Also reading Bolano's By Night in Chile, which if it ends strongly might be my favorite of his (next to Savage Detectives ofc)

Incel and blackpilled terminology has completely proliferated the normiesphere by this point. I went down a rabbit hole of contemporary dating gurus on youtube, the type that would be PUA 5-7 years ago, and they are all using blackpilled terminology. Most of their videos are compilations of tiktoks of girls cheating on guys with their opinions interjected between them.

The thing is they are not Incels, they are high T low IQ normies more concerned with not getting burned by women than being perma-virgins. But what I don't understand is why they still fuck with women at all if they are truly as bad as they are made out to be. They will spend 15 minutes discussing how dangerous women are but then still seek them out. It is like they have absorbed all the terminology and rhetoric but haven't actually come to terms with what they are supposedly saying.

Its just a weird fucking state of affairs where advice for men is either doomsaying or whitewashing. The two loudest voices regarding women online are that they are either angels or demons.

I have a half-baked theory on why it proliferated so much.

1. Sub-cultures are sort of like mushrooms, they need a dark undisturbed place out the light to grow. The internet has greatly reduced the amount of places like that in the world. At one point it was enough for some kids from a shitty town in a fly over state to tune their guitars differently. Now, when the slightest bit of novelty is harvested as soon as it rears its head, so it took something extremely unpalatable to most people to create a space where something could gestate to maturation before being co-opted.

2.Blame aside, everyone knows there has been a significant shift in how courtship is done in the last 10 years. This provide a language to articulate what so many people had felt. Which is why, despite the scorn heaped upon it, normies have haven't been able to drop it and have done their best to sanitize what they can for popular consumption.

That's what the term originally applies to but there was a whole sociological interest in it around 1900, basically the idea that small pressurized groups of men with high levels of solidarity are major engines of culture creation, revolution, idea change in history, etc. Something magical about the group that makes itself into a supra-individual individual outside and beyond the "mass." Somehow they take something or some things the mass can't see and refine it collaboratively into a whole new, emergently complex thing.

I never thought about the blackpill as something related to dating specifically, more like having lost all hope in life and the world.
I was consistently seeking long term relationships because I hated the idea of casual sex and I always turned down stuff that I knew wouldn't lead to some kind of commitment on both parts. Understanding that, I got burned in several ways through these relationship and on the last few dates I had with random girls I realized that it wasn't worth it anymore. I think my idea of sex and romance and the idea of sex and romance that today's people have is not remotely similar. So I just quit dating and decided that it's better for me to stay celibate.
I don't really like the crazy state of women right now and it really bums me that if you're a straight white male you're supposed to be ashamed of it, but aside of that I don't believe that women are the devil or they owe me sex. I think they're just broken people like most people today. So I don't want sex, I don't want to have a relationship, I don't believe having a proper family is feasible in this era. I just closed that chapter. Sometimes I get horny or I miss having a romantic moment with my girlfriend but I miss it like I miss playing with my band or other things that belong to the past.

>The thing is they are not Incels, they are high T low IQ normies more concerned with not getting burned by women than being perma-virgins. But what I don't understand is why they still fuck with women at all if they are truly as bad as they are made out to be. They will spend 15 minutes discussing how dangerous women are but then still seek them out. It is like they have absorbed all the terminology and rhetoric but haven't actually come to terms with what they are supposedly saying.

This is literally the most common form of machoism in the world. This is peak "normie". It's not that hard to understand. They have no respect for the average woman, but still think with their dick.

lol well where to begin, youve ranted about your life story a hundred times, you're extremely bitter about everyone in your life who didn't play along and stroke your ego for being a degenerate retard and everyone in your life who ever told you "no", and you quite frequently butt into random threads and start throwing around the most asinine childish takes and rhetoric imaginable that embarrasses even other people who might not disagree with you, and most importantly, you OBSESSIVELY have something to prove to make up for all of this, to convince yourself you are right no matter what, that everyone who ever told you "no" in your life was wrong, you even go as far as putting on your tripcode and trying to discuss or shit on literature that you yourself admit you have never read and dont even know the basic premise of, just so you can seem not only more well read than you actually are, but also cool and "above it" all at the some time.

I wonder why it is that for some people a sense of self comes quite naturally. Is it because they've gone through more difficulties and obstacles in life, while I was either sheltered from these, or only ever sought to imitate the values of the ones I looked up to? I feel like my sense of self is mostly just artistic ambition propped up by vanity, but frustratingly this evaporates during hard times, particularly in early mornings, when my dreams are identified in my mind as delusions that I have neither the persistence nor talent to fulfill.
Sometimes I think it would be better to abandon making things altogether and just live in the way that we are programmed to liveㅡsocial life, significant other, stable income, family—but I also feel like this would be the biggest surrender on my part. I know I am capable of making something worthwhile if I apply myself. I just don't know if I can get my mind to march under a single banner, in service of this goal.

I sat down to continue editing my novel today but got an emergency phone call and had to step out to deal with that for a few hours.
During the time I was out, I realized something pretty big.
The only thing I actually care about is writing and exploring fictional words. If I'm not doing those things, I feel empty like there's some part of me that's missing.
I think it's because I don't really matter to anyone IRL, and only ever really matter at all when I'm doing those things.

I've been trying to connect a series of threads in my mind and it's not working particularly well. I don't know if I'm retarded, or if this shit doesn't go together and I'm just starting a schizophrenic slide into eventual oblivion, but I'm starting to get really worried.

Basically, I'm trying to formulate a way to explain how the rise of the internet, the decreasing civility in politics, the erosion in privacy, the insanity of the economy, the failure of the American education system, the degrading social fabric of our societal interactions, etc etc etc, are all connected, and at the base of it all is a insistence on standardized tests and algorithms, but I can't explain exactly how.

I'm losing my mind and losing sleep over this. I can see the connections, I can damn near taste them, but I can't get anyone around me to understand it.

There's so much shit going wrong worldwide right now, I'm focusing on the American side of it, and it all seems to have through-lines, but I'm unable to paint these incredibly nuanced issues together.

I think I'm losing my mind.

I feel so trapped by my own decisions and I don't know what to do now. I thought I was somewhat prepared and knew what I was getting into, but things came out wildy different. And even though I seem to have come out on top (for now), the life I'm living now is in some ways just not what I expected or wanted.

And it's far too costly, not just monetarily, but emotionally for me to go back. I would be breaking promises. And yet I am miserable inside. I don't know how I'm going to do 5-10 years living like this, the thought scares rather than excites me.

Seriously, when did my life get so complicated? There is so many moving parts now, other people involved, when years earlier I was some chump living in a basement worried about making ends meet, but I was free to do whatever I want, whenever I want. Now I have money but can't relax, can't sleep, can't find time to enjoy it.

I want to die but I don't want to abandon my responsibilities. I know this is what adulthood and life is about, but holy shit, how do people cope living like this for decades? Video games and books aren't cutting it anymore, they just seem like more work to do and chores to complete. Is alcohol truly the final coping mechanism?

I used to think well-off people comitting suicide was a ridiculous notion because they have money to manage problems, can pay for therapy, medication, etc. but now it makes sense. The weight of their lives must be upon them, and adding more moving parts doesn't reduce the friction. Everything is just so artificial, so delicate, man was not to live like this in nature.

I am this close to fucking snapping and just letting everything crash, at least I won't be there to witness it. May God have mercy on this one-way ticket to hell.

Has this sentiment been refuted? I'm trying to deal with a son that has no interest in doing anything besides sitting in his room and reading. He claims that, besides his ideological position in pic rel, the "banality and foolishness" of his life and person is "beyond question", that he is "beside himself", that his ideal society is that of the ancient Greek city state and that anything less than this is not worth any serious engagement, and so on. But the surprising thing is that, by his own admission, these sentiments are "complete self-indulgent nonsense" and that he's really just putting on airs. Then he goes on and says that he is "without any base to stand on", that "words fail me, I cannot say it", that he is "too pure" for my "vulgar, pragmatic judgements" of his obvious neuroses, and that if my psychological analysis of him is correct it would only serve to "further debase" him as being nothing more than the embodiment of a base, stupid, oppressive psychology that is nothing more than a "vulgar machine of flesh and blood" and so on. He is genuinely mentally ill, I don't know what to do.

In a few months I plan to quit my corporate engineering office job. I went to college for a degree to get the job, I have since paid off all my student debt to do so. I no longer wish to work there, not that it has done me wrong. It's a step in the direction of living my life kneeling at the highest good I can imagine and devoting myself to it. I will be using the extra time to volunteer in my community, as well as get even more involved in a field that I absolutely love and I believe is among that highest good. Money is no concern, I plan to be making >$20k/year down from my current $75k/year. I am 24, I don't have much in savings, but spending anymore time in this job that prevents me from devoting myself to that highest good is suffering. I plan to struggle, I plan to have to sell my belongings to get by. Living that way is a consequence of doing what I see as the most important thing I can, as such I will suffer it because I must.

I am starting to understand the mid-life crisis.
You are born (in theory) with the complete tree of possibilities in front of you. Every day you live and every decision you make lops off branches and narrows the possibilities of the way the rest of your life will go.
After a few decades of this many men find themselves stuck with only domesticated paths ahead of them. The mid-life crisis is a rebellion against this realization—a rebellion which, true to form, manifests in domesticated acts like buying a sports car.

The environment itself absolutely matters. In a city you necessarily have less control over your surroundings. Activities that involve effecting control over your surroundings are almost exclusively "right-wing": farming, raising livestock, using heavy machinery, woodworking, shooting, etc. When you live in a city these activities simply aren't available to you, so you turn to more domesticated activities such as cooking, socializing, hiking (by going to rural areas), gaming, media consumption, recreational drug use, etc. This absolutely reflects in the population.

Making and consuming are fundamentally different activities and require a different mindset and environment. Given the lessened control over your surroundings in a city, you are less free to make than you would be in a more rural area, hence many urbanites bias towards consumption for leisure.
If you don't understand what I mean by >you are less free to make, then think about this example: you want to make dining room chairs as a hobby. It's not an equipment-intensive activity, just normal woodworking which means you need a few power tools, the license to use them when you please, and a space that can get covered with sawdust without being too much of a pain to clean up. How does one do this in an urban environment? At the very least you need a spacious garage and neighbors who won't call the authorities.

USA is already "at war" with China by fucking up surrounding nations and arming/training/funding(one or all) terrorists to murder Chinese and blow up Chinese-built infrastructure in said nations(African nations part of Belt&Road are also targets). Or you get a Myanmar situation where it actually just devolves into a Civil War(an outcome they're trying to cause in Thailand right now). If there's any real hot war it's probably going to be a limited engagement focused on blowing Chinese infrastructure up because conflicts between the US and China are purely about the US' inability to compete economically without using force.

I've never been attracted to men like I have with women.

Despite this I think I'm anxious about the possibility that I will be attracted to men. I suspect it's just mild social anxiety, some kind of suppression (I have no experience inner or outer to suppress) or a love for my best friends and other men in a brotherly way which I'm afraid of.

Relationships are so much work but I really want one, I'd have to be lover and educator, always bigger. I was with an older woman once and it's very, very nice to be able to surrender yourself as a male but in my experience most untaken older women are very much men and very often crazy(except for the widows I suppose).

in a similar situation anon. the girl is 19 as well but the differences are that I pursued her initially and she has started to reciprocate. a couple of nights ago she brought her boyfriend around and at the end of the night I began to feel a numb shame. mainly it is because her actions point to being the type to drop the guy (eventually) and if I were to replace him I would stand at the same dilemma you do. my obsessive artistic work has prevented me from having any lasting relationships in the past and I'm not sure I trust myself in this instance. if I continue down this trajectory I will just cause pain across the board. despite this, it is an amazing feeling to find someone worth loving and so rare it may justify the pain.

Ive been depressed for 10 years now. It runs in the family and it doesnt seem to go away.

I just dont feel like i could ever get a gf/wife, a career or have kids. I used to dream about having these things, but now they just fill me with dread.

I find myself in the void realm of intuitive childhood confusion again. I left my mask at the door and allowed whatever my child wished to commence, for his super-indulgence to replace my mind. And now it rings hollow. I have no fetish, I have no consistent need, I simply attempt to understand obsessive thought through continuous repetition of self-immolating behaviors. I find myself again turning toward the same realization, that externals need not rule one's life, that one is not bound by the past or that one must repeat. I have wasted another week on defectiveness coping behaviors... I am an amputee at thirteen, a craven shell at thirty. I have accepted time and time again that I must remain unwavering in my judgment, yet another cycle has come and gone, and I am left in the same state from which it began.
The object of obsession is nothing more than negative emotion which demands some prioritized action on my part; it is nothing more than some task undone which has been formed through external experience, then converted symbolically and dopaminergically into illusory emotional reasoning.

Wow some of y'all are really sad. Take it easy on yourself seriously. Nothing really matters anyways.

"It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness. That is life."

Yesterday I think I finally cauterized the pain. I didn't rage against myself or the world, I walked home and simply let the feelings of impotence and misfortune pass through me.

cuando hablamos de lo que sentios en la comun trascendencia de la vida configural nos detenemos a menudo a pensar en la miniedades del dia a dia, pero al detenerse sobre nuestro cabales y sacar el cerebro de nuestro propio ego, podemos ver nuestra propia insignificancia y a la vez la gran trascendencia de lo que somos, una dicotomia del placer de vivir, a la que las civilizaciones de la historia llamaron y apuntaron bajo distintos nombres, pero todas coincidieron bajo el mismo concepto de propia liberacion.
