Why haven’t you killed yourself yet, then?

>>19778911
make me, faggot

>>19778917
Don’t need to. Everyone you have ever loved or cared about already has forsaken you for being a massive loser-faggot, so at this moment, I’m really the only person affirming your existence until I get bored and forget about you, just like everyone else you have ever known.

that's not true at all. stop projecting.
and why are you so hurt about benatar? that shit is almost obvious for anyone with a functioning brain

Pic related. I felt like I had finally found the missing ingredient, that I could decompose my lofty grand goals five years from now into a direct line. That if I just had intensive focus and worked hard then I would achieve that goal and I felt a coarse of excitement fill every part of me as I realized that I had to ration my willpower, that I needed to put everything in a row, that I was allowed to think big. I became more and more excited as I got closer and closer to the source, turning five year plans into one year plans, something I could do in 1 year distilled into six months, into a month, and finally the one thing - the one thing I could do right now... and that was the moment of truth. This fucking grifter told you all these nice pie in the sky theoretical, but didn't actually tell you how the fuck to figure out what that one thing you should do. It was literally the equivalent of
>lol, just stop worrying about it bro
And that's when I realized that there is no literature which will ever help you figure out what must be done. The only way to learn in this world is to grope aimlessly in the dark and hope that you have the feedback and the self-awareness to infer lessons from repeat failures.
Fuck Gerry Keller the One Big Grifter

The idea that performing the deed will yield the intended result belongs to the life and world that you suck.

How did he pass the book through such a tight hole without rolling it up and inexorably compromising it structurally? I have a feeling that this image was edited

>>19779165
Dumbass. SHE gave the book to HIM. You always have to assume that the girl is the clueless whore, don't you?

>>19779165
No, it's the other way around, the girl is reading Hegel when suddenly a weirdo sticks his hand in and steals the book (but is unable to escape with his loot due to the excessive tightness of the hole, which you correctly notice).

It all makes sense now!

Source is Emergence by Shindol.
Warning: very NSFW and very depressing too, especially if you love women.

>>19779259
>if you love women.
Nobody here does that.

>>19779274
I love women.
I read Emergence and got very upset, but I think this sort of material is necessary first because it elicits sympathy for sex workers and second to raise awareness about the urgency with which we need to work towards implementing protections so they don’t have to suffer through similar abuse IRL.

>>19779215
It’s a tiny paperback. He rolled it up.

>>19779274
No, those are loud autists and frustrated memers. The normal people aren’t hardcore misogynists

>>19778900
The first eogist?

>>19779301
Ending capitalism would do wonders for these ends

>>19779394
I don’t see the relation.
Besides, sex workers were treated horribly in pre-capitalist societies too.

>>19779274
Been here nearly every day since 2004, and I love women to the same degree that I love people in general, which is to say mostly. I certainly don't hate people based on intrinsic qualities regardless of any negative correlations, measured or observed. The wave of dickless fuckups that started in 2010 and plateaued in 2016 isn't as big as you think, they're just very loud.

says the retard who read some other retards thoughts about it lol. guess when you're anti-natalist your whole life is just pointless contradictions.

Crime and Punishment

Somehow it finally clicked that I was deceiving myself through my intellect, and that I am simply an animal. I am now finally happy btw. Not through the book alone, but it helped a lot.

Sex for money, sex as “making a living” is bad.
Sex, promiscuity even, isn’t that bad in and of itself.

Brothers Karamazov. The Zosima chapters had a deep effect on me
>>19778882
Anti-natalism is a dumb philosophy, often held by depressed teens unable to see the beauty of the world.

>>19779428
please don't call the whores "sex workers" it's a gay euphemism that ruins the meaning of language.

A-are you ok anon?

Is it? I don't remember Saki squatting like this. I think it's one of his other works

what if pic related actually happened to you anons

>And that's when I realized that there is no literature which will ever help you figure out what must be done
there is, it's called Torah

>The only way to learn in this world is to grope aimlessly in the dark and hope that you have the feedback and the self-awareness to infer lessons from repeat failures
You can do that, with some luck maybe you will find Judaism is right, or you could trust the jewish sages, the rabbis, and do what they say, watch yaron reuven lectures for example and you will learn every day what to do

>>19780033
Uhhh I think you should read it again dude. Dostoevsky wasn’t trying to say humans are animals. At least read a critique of it. It’s got a very Christian message.

>>19779433
Damn you must be a nigger huh
