The world is so wonderful and terrible at the same time. It includes evil, injustice, pain, cruelty, and frustration, but also beauty, kindness, friendship, dedication, courage, inspiration, human closeness and warmth, justice, generosity, fairness, knowledge, responsibility, and depth.

One time when I was about 14 I agreed to go to a movie with this girl I'd been talking to online. It sounds impossible but somehow being a complete sperg I didn't realise that it was obviously a date. She was very unfortunate looking - like she had some sort of big birthmark across her face and something wrong with her teeth, but we had similar interests which is why we had been talking. We got to the movie and a couple we knew saw us there and it suddenly hit me that this was a date and I felt so embarrassed to be there. We both went home after that and then I never talked to her again.

I remember she smelled really strongly of vicks vapor rub and now whenever I smell that stuff I get flashbacks to that memory and cringe internally.

The problem is you can't even talk to them. Most cases they won't even tell you how they really feel. It can be that I'm too cynic, but I can't understand the affective obligation parents have with their children and vice-versa. Why can't a parent say that he loves your brother more than you or that you are not the most amazing kid in the world? In the shit hole that I live most children are accidents. I've never met a kid who's been planned beforehand. And even when the parents admit they still pretend it was a blessing - oh, your mother had to abandon highschool and I had to beg in the streets to feed you, but we love you. Give me a break...

Rich Europeans flocked to Venice from the 16th to 18th centuries, mostly for the carnival. Masks were legally allowed to be worn for 4 months out of the year and once venice industry/trade declined they shifted themselves into becoming a party destination for rich euros looking for debauchery without being judged. By the time of the republic's collapse from Napoleon in the late 18th century, he defined the city as the "drawing room of europe".
I think the mask obsession comes from here. Also, venice's government was a super secretive paranoid police state with an endless amount of council and committed double checking each other, along with boxes placed throughout the city where citizens can submit plots against the republic to the "council of ten" who had complete control to investigate, try, and execute anybody they want.
I'm sure this resonates with elites in all societies

Im so fucking tired of every discussion devolving into a strawman argument and character assassination. Its almost as if no one has the actual means to argue their points effectively. Its an extremely pathetic and petty way to converse and leads to the stagnation in flow of ideas. A willing obfuscation of truth for the sake of "winning" discussions. "Bad because youre x stereotype" or "bad because youre bias" or "bad because your conception of the world is limited". Everyone seems to think their ideas are right while at the same time are unwilling to actually test Not only that but they are willing to bring others down and destroy them if need be because all who oppose are wrong. Im not targeting this towards some specific group either it seems true for the majority of discussion. Even scientific.

one summer when I was like 8 years old or so, my mother used to baby sit a few of her friend's kids; one of them was a preteen girl that I was apparently attracted to
I say apparently because I never paid much attention to her until I had this dream; I usually played toy soldiers with her younger brother who I remember being a bit of a prick. Anyways, in the dream we were all outside with water guns and water balloons. At some point, she began changing clothes and even though I wasn't supposed to be looking, I did, and behold, she had a cock and balls. I was so shocked that I woke up immediately. Interactions between us were never the same, not that I interacted much with her before. But when I grew older, I found myself having a fascination with girls having male members; not transvestites mind you, as I still hold a somewhat bigoted view of mental health, but this idea that a cock and balls on a girl was somehow more beautiful than that of a vagina.

I've been carrying out this small experiment which consists of testing out people's inner selves with impromptu & improvised fart jokes, puns, spoonerisms, so-called ''juvenile humor'' in general, and by god has it been a highly effective filter. It's like a barrage of critical hits to somebody's façades and pretences, and it's fascinating to witness a fag's psyche unraveling under pressure. You can visibly notice them going into panic mode and trying their damnedest to get out of this oh so embarrassing situation as quickly as possible. There's a deeper fear involved, but i'm not exactly sure of what it really springs from. Maybe it's extra sensitivity against forces of chaos. Maybe it just shows that the world is more vast, more unpredictable than you might think.
The best instances are when they try to assert their superiority over a mere retard by referencing a bunch of factually incorrect bullshit about literature or anything they might deem fancy, then the retarded one proceeds to school them. I am not a fan of the 'midwit' buzzword, but man, these psychological battles really cemented its validity. It's either:
>bro you're like old now, why are you still making these kinds of jokes
or
>dude just talk about memes instead, it'd be significantly better (this was genuinely uttered by a man)
Turing test for 'beige' people. Observe a human being's reaction to some good old fartistry and you will know a lot about his character. Plus, it's a healthy creative exercise, requires more activity from your brain than just blurting random quotes for a cheap, often insincere laugh. These escapades are another good reason for not killing myself.

Feeling cooped up in the house.
I needed to clear my head: a walk around the local sports fields. Mid afternoon. Mostly deserted. I waited until there were no people around, only a guy laying down under trees on the other side of the sports field.
At the park bench, camouflaged by the surrounding grove of trees, I removed my t-shirt and shorts (no underwear).
I really just wanted the diversionary thrill of stripping off briefly, for my own benefit.
But I slicked my penis with spit, stood up from the bench and suddenly squirted three volleys of cum. Like splashes of water on the dirt.
I looked around and no-one had seen me.
Very occasionally I have a similar urge. Once I dared myself to walk the entire perimeter of the three sports fields and adjacent main road, naked, at about 5am in summer. I left my clothes and keys on the bench mentioned above so I had to make it all the way back to get my clothes and keys.

Depends if she finds you attractive/funny or not. Do you think we became almost 8 billions on the planet by keeping distances? There's nothing wrong with being infatuated over someone as long as you show some respect to the people around you. Just don't be a simp and if in doubt, ask her directly.

I'm in motion to move on. It's been six months since she dumped me after five years together and I told her my final (unwarranted by her) goodbyes a few days ago. There's no regret, no hard feelings that I feel, just lingering love and apprehension for the future without her that has yet to come.
I wasn't willing to do it at first but the weight on my heart has been lifted a little bit more today. I'm grateful good people came into my life and pushed me closer to the edge because otherwise I would have believed for years that she'll come back one day, like in the stories we read on the net.
She responded and wrote something along "I'm happy that you're moving on. I didn't know how to respond before (when I told her I still loved her a month ago) and it was on the back of my mind. I'd still be here if you ever need to talk. Goodbye." and to that, I just felt acceptance along with an underlying touch of disappointment. The tight knot is truly unraveling now and I can only wait to process it. I know I'm not alone though, not like in the beginning. I built back some confidence I didn't know was destroyed by giving and receiving an inordinate amount of hugs in the past months, even with covid. I get why people say the only cure to a broken heart is time and love now.

I never get why Redditors talk about cosmic meaning as if it actually makes much sense to care about.

Almost all of the cosmos, being nothing more than an enormous quantity of utterly dead matter, seems to me to be completely irrelevant to the meaning of my
life.

Even so, why does the fact that the universe is so big mean anything? If Earth and its inhabitants miraculously became a million times larger while the rest of the cosmos remained as it was, or if everything else in the cosmos became a million times smaller
while Earth and its inhabitants remained the same size, I would not feel that my life had therefore become a million times more meaningful, or in fact any more meaningful at all.

Religion is incredibly restrictive to free thought. Ever since I became a Christian I find myself interpreting everything through the lens of Christianity. Politics, culture, history, art, philosophy, science, morals, even mathematics -- all are viewed in reference to the Church and her teachings. On the one hand this could be considered a good thing because it's good to have a systematic, hollistic view of life. On the other hand it feels totally claustroophobic to be boxed in by these stringent categories and rules of thought, always in fear of entering into heterodoxy or believing something which can't be reconciled with the faith.

Disclaimer: I am NOT trying to put philosophy in a good light or anything, this is simply words of caution for those who are prone to depression and also pathologically seek superficial profundity in all aspects of existence

I used to be a "light nihilist" (read: I was brought up with the notion that life is meaningless and morality don't reals, but I never cared anything about it and didn't really pay the "meaning" question any time). In my teens I started getting christian, like most teenagers, but unlike most teenagers I got almost obsessive. Nihilism perished from the realm of "possible" quite soon. Existentialism followed shortly after. Evolution evaporated (creationism). Determinism withered easily once my intellect had taken full control of my mind.

The last "battle" for my sanity was the ultimate "Is there ANY sort of meaninglessness to life" question. And fair to say: reason lost to sanity once more.

A few months post this realization added ontop of years of those other realizations I found myself in good company, able to think about the future again. I escaped the frozen brick of existence. I tried to desperately fool myself back into "irresponsible" blissful knowledge. I tried to convince myself that nothing was worth it. But I realized it was just a futile biological reflex trying to justify my whims.

I went from being a suicidal, retiring, sullen and ignorant person to a friendly, ambitious and, intelligent person whose entire existence is pleasurable due to these intellectual realizations.

Some will shrug and say "euphoria", but this is happiness brought on my truth. Some have an ability to be optimists and cheerful and not are. I am not one of them. So if you start to feel nauseas or anxious whilst reading existential philosophy/thinking too much: keep going. It might be worth it.

For everyone else: carry on, but force your realizations on others, some better off for it.

I think about this quote a lot

We are forced to conclude that our scientists are incapable of any but the emptiest platitudes when they stray from their specialities. It makes one think back on the collection of mediocrities accumulated by Einstein when he spoke of God, the state, peace, and the meaning of life. It is clear that Einstein, extraordinary mathematical genius that he was, was no Pascal; he knew nothing of political or human reality, or, in fact, anything at all outside his mathematical research. The banality of Einstein's remarks in matters outside his speciality is as astonishing as his genius within it... Even J. Robert Oppenheimer, who seems receptive to a general culture, is not outside this judgement. His political and social declarations, for example, scarcely go beyond the level of those of the man in the street. And the opinions of the scientists quoted by L'Express are not even on the level of Einstein or Oppenheimer...Particularly disquieting is the gap between the enormous power they wield and their critical ability, which must be estimated as null.

Even down to seemingly insignificant things like having to space out and THINK when you're walking somewhere or waiting in line or waiting on public transit or driving. Now everybody infinite distractions any time they want them, you can pull your phone out to kill time even for 30 seconds since it takes no time to "get into" checking your email or social media feed. And even when you're driving you can half listen to a podcast or audiobook or music.

There's no time to just be off the grid and a free agent inside your own head. That's when all the best thoughts happen, when you have that critical series of thoughts that inspire you to write a book or investigate a topic. It's how people become different, when all the material they process throughout the day just has to ferment or bounce against itself inside their head in ways that can't be reduced to generic types. Emergent complexity and creativity must come from daydreaming and spacing out at least half the time. Act of Creation by Koestler talks about this I think.

All that is lost. Reminds me also of Ted's "oversocialization." How often are people just free agents, connected to society by rituals and gestures they have to know to fit in, but otherwise having 80% processing power left over to be whatever else they happen to be, free-floating and rearranging?

None, everyone is 100% focused on going through the motions. A weird combination.

Posting here because the Mary Beard thread got deleted :/

The Beard vs. Boris debate is unwatchable. Obviously Ms. Beard was on the correct side when she said that Rome has done more to influence the West than Ancient Greece. But the arguments she made for it were completely idiotic. She cited the writings of some random prostitute to show how liberated women were in Rome compared to Greece. Then she kept going on about feminism and the Grecian disregard of women, compared to Roman chivalry. As if the Romans were not massively patriarchal as well lmao.
Yes, I get it. She's a female historian and wants to bring women's stories to light as well. But to argue like she did is so stupid. And her Latin pronunciation is atrocious.

Life. The first 3 years were made of crazy love and on the fourth I had depression, I did some shit I am not proud of (flirted and developed feelings for a temp coworker, I told her the moment it became more than a co-worker joke, didn't cheat physically but it still hurt her real good), we made up afterwards but it broke our foundation. We used to joke about getting married : I'd ask her if she wanted to during her shower and her answers which were previously yeses changed to "I don't know" during the fifth year. She finally enrolled into physiotherapist school, grew up and realized she didn't want to be with me anymore.
We tried to make up multiple times, it worked out because we had experience and loved being together but eventually after we were away from each other for a few weeks we fought over stupid things and one day in the spur of a moment she told me she wanted to take a definitive decision. All I could do at that time was to confirm if she was being serious and accept, because I didn't know how to react.

None of our friends knew for about two to three weeks until she broke the dam and opened her heart. Some friends came saying it was probably a shit test and that I was supposed to pursue her whereas some of her friends told me I should let her go. I cut all communications and buried myself, working to exhaustion for months and waiting for something to happen. Nothing happened, maybe it could've but then I missed the window of opportunity to get her back.

That's how we broke up. Many times people have asked me if there was some wisdom I got from this and I still don't know. I think that even if by some miracle we could've been together after the breakup the relationship was already fractured and sooner or later, she'd have left forever. It didn't end on a bad note or some crazy cuck shit, it was just over.

It feels strange to be in the space between cutting ties with friends who you feel aren't any good for you in the long run and trying to find new people. So often I feel compelled to go back to them because it's what's comfortable and I don't have to do any work. But I know that in five years it won't be any good for me to do that.

Not all American protestant churches are like that, just so you know. My childhood friend's church was, but mine was pretty serious and we went to sermons every Sunday morning, and went to choir practice Sunday afternoon. On Wednesdays they also had free dinner, which was usually delicious, and the older churchgoers there are the friendliest people I've met so far in life. It was custom to share a table with people you don't know and chat with them no matter who they are, and they were always nice to me. Public school by contrast was weird by contrast because no one shares a table unless you're friends. American churches are also HUGE on charity, and a major reason why America is the runaway global leader in charitable donations (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_charitable_donation).). If you can't afford food, they will give it to you. If you need a place to stay, they'll help you out. It's not quite -Amish- levels of mutual care, but it's not far off either.

They also don't mind addressing skepticism. I had a several hours long talk with a pastor during a youth trip when I was losing my faith in the religion. His arguments didn't convince me, so I left the church, but that's the only reason. If I were Catholic or in Europe, it still wouldn't make a difference. So I kinda wonder why American zoomers gravitate towards Catholicism. Did they go to church as a kid? Do they genuinely believe Protestantism was a mistake? That's a hefty position to try and defend, I doubt most of them can. Hell, maybe most of their parents aren't even Christian - they're atheists, and that's why their children feel no attachment to Protestantism, so they feel free to just pick and choose any kind of Christianity they like.

at the end of probably our first proper date (I think we'd been to see This is England) we were going home and waiting for the bus, and it was a long wait. we were 16 and 15 years old. it got real quiet. real quiet. after a long time she told me she liked linkin park (similar era to your clip I think, that's why I thought of it) and asked if I did too. I was kinda lukewarm on it I think. The funny thing is that sitting there in all the awkwardness and feelings of inadequacy is still a very good memory. I think if we ever tried again I'd start by joking telling her I like linkin park. Her stop was before mine. Before she got off she told me kind of hurriedly that she loved me. That was the first time, and way, way too soon. Reminding her of this later and watching her squirm was rewarding.

Yes. Many people lack the good faith to have interesting conversations. For me, good faith arises from series of experiences where one sees his/her limitations for directly perceiving and attaining knowledge. You have to be experienced in the fall (into deception) so that when you get out you're less sure and more curious. People who achieve a level of mastery at something are always the most adept because the process towards mastery is exactly like the one described; You have to test your knowledge constantly and face the real results that arise from the trials.
