Gun hunt.
>In 1588, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, having become kampaku or "imperial regent", ordered a new sword hunt; Hideyoshi, like Oda, sought to solidify separations in the class structure, denying commoners weapons while allowing them to the nobility, the samurai class. In addition, Toyotomi's sword hunt, like Oda's, was intended to prevent peasant uprisings

I don't want to see anyone in my family. There are things that can't be said that I can't not say anymore. There can't be any balance between us, I can't turn away anymore, I can't put them first anymore. We are not close. There is very much they have ignored. The one of them I think I should see is my grandad. He wants to see me. I'm used to doting on him, effectively. Giving him what he wants. He wants to talk sports. I do not want to talk sports. I can not talk to him about what would need to be talked about. He spent most of my formative years tending to his wife, who had dementia. He doesn't know me. I don't want to fill him in. I can't not fill him in if I'm gonna see him. He lives nearby. I expect he'll come around eventually. I'm not sure what to say.

>>20127235
>Man, acting in conformity with his organisation, has recourse to endless expedients in order to grasp the Universe as a whole: these expedients in all their endless complexity are simply a group of concepts; and in our pride at having thus attained to a concept of the world in its entirety, we lose sight of our true position, forgetting that after all we have grasped nothing but the concept, and that consequently we are simply taking pleasure in the instrument of our own making, while all the time we remain further removed than ever from the reality of the world. But the man who can find no lasting delight in the phantasms of this illusion, at last, becomes conscious that his own mind rebels against its tyranny. He recognises the unreality of this barren illusion and feels impelled to turn to reality and to approach it by means of feeling. Then the question arises: how is this to be done, seeing that reality conceived of as a whole can only be made intelligible to the intellect, and cannot be brought into relation with feeling? It can only be done by recognising that the essence of reality consists of infinite multiplicity. This inexhaustible multiplicity, incessantly renewed and renewing, can only be apprehended by feeling, as the one ever-present though ever-varying element. This variability is the essence of the real; the unreal, or that which is imagined, alone being invariable and immutable. Nothing but what is variable can be real. To be real-to live-what is it but to be born, to grow, to bloom, to wither and to die? Without death as a necessary concomitant, there is no possibility of life: that alone has no end which has no beginning; but nothing real can be without beginning, only abstract ideas.

What's on my mind? The world-historical significance of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. People tend to view it as a regional affair between two countries, or perhaps as tripartite relation between Russia, Ukraine, and NATO. In truth it sends shockwaves throughout the world. Specifically it amplifies the uncertainty and supply chain disruptions of the globalized economic order already reeling from climate and pandemic induced shocks. It may very well spell the overturning of the current world order. Many contributing factors have been eroding the international capitalist globalized economic system. By disrupting grain and fertilizer exports the Ukrainian war could inject a massive dose of political instability throughout the world and lead to even further spiraling and instability. The complexities boggle the mind because everything in a globalized world is a network of relationships spanning every country in the world and susceptible to all kinds of factors.

We are seeing how globalism is not a robust, anti-fragile system, only a cost-effective one in good times when there is international stability assured by a hegemonic world-power. In this case that power was the United States, but it is no longer able to ensure that stability. The ensuing fragmentation threatens capitalism as we know it.

Just stay healthy and avoid the bottom 3 things and you'll be fine.

The point is not that people from different societies are incompatible, it has nothing to do with /pol/. We're talking about a subset of people who have a philia for another culture, yet that philia becomes a negative thing for them since they believe the problems in their life are caused not by themselves but by the society they live in. I know because I was one of those guys, and I see it in others too. I gave up on making friends at home, and I thought my society was the problem, but after learning Japanese and failing to make Japanese friends, I realized the problem was with me. I realized there are fucked up things about their society, like how they (and Korea too) have something like cancel culture where someone who is targeted online gets relentlessly bullied and often commit suicide. I realized working in Asia would also probably suck ass.


So when you ask, "What growth?", the answer is, "Personal growth". If you can't make friends and be happy at home, you won't be popular or happy in Asia. To normal, healthy people, this is obvious, but a lot of weeaboos get socially isolated and develop strange ways of thinking. This is what I'm talking about with my post. If you can't relate to it or understand, that's good. It means this isn't a problem for you. For others, it is.

progressivism. marx viewed religion as part of a culture of dominance from an earlier mode of production and therefore worthless. marx was not a spiritual man I think it's fair to say.

charity is not a leftist thing.
to the extent that tax-funded charity is a leftist thing....... it's absurd to necessarily lump these together, that you can only be for social welfare if you are also a progressive.
fuck, charity is barely if even marxist.

they "failed to realize the reality of their predicament". in other words: the fact that they were happy to live modestly with Christ was throwing a spanner in the wheels of the prophesied revolution, to come any moment now. they broke the narrative completely, basically. and what does a marxist do then? he forces his will with violence, to the best of his ability.

That’s my mistake. I misread it twice I guess. I see now that you said it is not, not it is.

I still think you’re projecting a lot and you’ve entered territory that wasn’t in the question. I still don’t see why these people should do anything because of a vague notion of “personal growth” but regardless, I said “weaboo”. I didn’t say “specifically weaboos who fit this failed at home” thing that you’ve presented. We’re actually talking about two different people. So take a person that is otherwise normal and even succesful, but is maybe a weaboo because they just love anime or they’re attracted to Japanese women. What is so embarrassing about that?

Wait a second. Aliens could exist but God doesn't? So whenever you can't explain something you admit you don't know yet you also claim it's not God? How can you claim it's not necessary for God to exist if you can't explain the cause? How can you know it mustn't be created by God if you don't understand the requirements? Please answer using reason and honesty and continue your proof that God doesn't exist (atheism) and your second claim that God isn't necessary.
>Matter doesn’t stop being there if your senses fool you or they’re impaired in some way.

Of course, but she doesn't have any reasons to leave me because I make her happy. I never had the need to feel "secure" I always assumed she'll be with me forever. I imagine if I ever told her something as ridiculous as "I want to feel secure" she'd think less of me because I'm the one keeping the family secure. Even thinking it at all is unnatural.

I just want you to know, I truly despise you. You consistently show up here, you repeat yourself all day, then ramble on pointless tangents to seem smart to the amateur writers here. You are literally incapable of critiquing writing beyond the aesthetics and style; that's because your brain completely lacks any nuance or reading comprehension, you are a developmentally delayed autistic child. You keep disregarding any hint of true authenticity or authorial intention since you're just dishonest. I'm so tired of reading these petty bullshit statements you consistently throw around to assert status, all you've done is give vague advice like avoiding intensifiers or adverbs, like you're some kind of prophetical fucking genius and pretending your rudimentary know-how is useful beyond creative writing-101. I've looked at your attempts at writing, it makes complete sense why you act so jilted. You are a hack. You will never make it as an author. Empty appearances without any substance; you are truly a dumb fucking mongoloid with nothing to say beyond copying prose from other authors.

I feel like I reached a milestone with Plato that's one of several required to really grasp him, and it's what I'd call "grasping Socratic ignorance". Humans live in a fundamental state of ignorance on every philosophical issue, and not only that but most of us also don't realize how ignorant we are, and also fight to stay ignorant because we'd rather "win the debate" than yield and sacrifice our ego. Nothing about argument has changed in the 2500 years since these dialogues were written - most of Socrates' interlocutors do not actually care about finding the answer. And it's in this state of ignorance that we live: not knowing, and not caring to know. To proceed with dialectic, we must accept that humans are flawed beings, and yet also our best chance at finding some form of truth, since just as the strongest weapons are determined through centuries of war, so too are the strongest ideas determined through centuries of argument. I think Plato had some faith in this idea that the greatest answers would emerge by process over elimination over time, but also believed debate could be incredibly beneficial to two people in day-to-day life so long as they are both acting in good faith (which is sadly rare). And this is the setting for the dialogues.

Simone de Beauvoir on Simone Weil
>[Simone Weil] was taking the same examinations at the Sorbonne as I. She intrigued me because of her great reputation for intelligence and her bizarre clothes….A great famine had just begun to devastate China, and I was told that on hearing the news she had wept; these tears commanded my respect even more than her philosophical talents. I envied her for having a heart which could beat right across the world. One day I managed to approach her. I don’t remember how the conversation began; she declared in no uncertain terms that one thing alone mattered in today’s world: the Revolution that would feed all the people on earth. I retorted, no less peremptorily, that the problem was not to make men happy, but to find a meaning for their existence. She looked me up and down: ‘It’s easy to see that you’ve never gone hungry,’ she said. Our relationship stopped there.

I've had a horrible cold for the past week. It's not strep or covid, just the common cold. My throat burns, I cough tons, have felt a bit feverish at times, and my voice is fucked. On top of all that, I am taking drugs and various other treatments, such as tea, around the clock to treat it, which is a burden. An hour ago, I just induced vomiting to treat a Tylenol OD. I have been doing my best to keep track of when I took my dose, but I got lost inside my head after writing down 1:30, and after re-examining the sheet, I wasn't sure that I took it. I thought and thought and was quite certain I hadn't taken it, so I decided I would take one pill instead of two. Plus, I haven't been taking much Tylenol today. By the way, Tylenol works far better than Aleve or Motrin for this illness, so I really wanted to make sure I took it. Honestly, the highlight of my days is taking Tylenol. So then, I took the one Tylenol pill to be safe. The inability to remembering if I took those two pills early eats me. I go through the motions of opening the bottle and pouring out the pills, and I remember dispensing the pills differently. Instead of dumping them out into the cap, which is a finnicky process. I had dumped them into my palm, providing greater control. At this moment, I realize I OD'ed. Obviously, this isn't a serious OD. I'm a tall and fat guy; plus, I took a high dose of Accutane a few years ago and had no liver issues. But still, I am an anxious man, so I went to talk to my mom. She said not to worry about it. I tried not to, but I could feel my stomach knotting, very likely placebo, and five minutes later, I had to talk to her again. I was going to try to vomit, and so I did. I didn't get much out and didn't find any intact pills. It was most certainly completed within 30 minutes of taking the first two pills and within 15 minutes of the third pill. Surprisingly, my throat doesn't hurt too bad, and I think I might be on the upswing today. Nevertheless, I am still left with a longing to take Tylenol. But my mom, a nurse in academia (aka not practicing), said I should wait 24 hours, potentially meaning that tomorrow will be a painful day. I'm left wondering, does my size have any bearing on my ability to tolerate a higher dose? I was taking a bit too much earlier in the week (two pills every 6 hours), but today, I had gone ten-and-a-half hours without a dose. Did I vomit soon enough? Will I have gotten any positive effect from the Tylenol to carry me through the day tomorrow? What the fuck am I doing with my life; this is so fucking stupid.

If you perceive of yourself as a loser then that's all you will ever be. You think of yourself as a loser because that's how you believe other people view you - and you may be right, but you don't need to let others define you. If you convince yourself you're a loser then you are precluding any opportunity for future happiness. You don't need to delude yourself but you need to understand that appearances are exactly that - appearances. You don't need to care about other people's perceptions. You certainly don't need to care about how you assume other's receive you. You can change negative self perception but it starts with recognising that you are in control of how you perceive yourself.

I think there's something very telling about the choice of the word 'cope'. What else are we meant to do but cope?

>However, co-activation of both sympathetic and parasympathetic branches can be observed (Paton et al., 2005), and MDMA also increases levels of the hormone oxytocin (Dumont et al., 2009, Wolff, 2005), which increases activity in the vagal nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system (Hashimoto et al., 2012, Norman et al., 2011). Higher activity in the vagus nerve has been connected to the same phenomena observed under MDMA administration, i.e. positive social emotions, desire to socialize, and reduced responses to negative social stimuli (Porges, 2007).

It’s getting to me. All the anger, all the envy, all the resentment. I open social media and 90% of content I see is just self-victimization and despair. No one has a positive vision of the future, no one is happy with the present and no one respects the past. I value compassion and modesty but it’s hard not to be influenced by the vitriol that I’m exposed to every day. It just makes me so unhappy. Most people today are relentless in complaining about the world and hating other groups of people but couldn’t ever offer you a better system or way of life that remedies our problems today. They feel valid for complaining and whining all the time.

Bleeding from the Earth Priest's Staves.
Though bruised, broken, bandaged,
He still waits, bracing for impact.
Supplications to the Outer Darkness
At the frayed periphery of the circled tents.
That ancient, Helio-borne magick
Shall freeze how his heart lays forever.

Shall take up the mantle of the unmanned God.

I am weak-willed, stopped enjoying the things I'm doing. It brought me to this state of trying to optimize, get my work done as quickly as possible. Finish a book in X days by reading Y number of pages at the speed of Z pages per hour. But I never do. I don't keep to my schedules yet I also can't relax. My body reacts negatively to it which stresses me out more about not getting shit done.

It's autism and it will kill me. All joy is lost by me imposing deadlines on myself that are more about getting work done than understanding it.

I have a hard time believing in anything at all in terms of ethical & moral grounds. I have a hard time thinking thoughts that aren't caused by depression or about me planning on what to do next. I cannot think of things, only of their ends so the next thing may start as soon and as productively as possible. I lost the ability to consider. I don't write in my diary anymore.
