Was my dad disappointed with how I turned out? Does he blame himself? Does my mom wish she had someone else sometimes? Did my siblings deserve someone better as a brother? Were the people I considered my friends growing up really my friends or did I just confuse them laughing at me and them laughing with me? Did I really even have any potential to waste? Does my supervisor secretly hate dealing with me? Do my coworkers really say that stuff about me when I'm not around? Why do people look at me and do a weird half smile sometimes? Do my subordinates resent having me as their supervisor? Does it chafe when I have to exert authority over someone? Have I just not met the right person yet or am I actually much less attractive than I believe? Why doesn't anyone ever say anything? Is it my overthinking that leads to self-doubt or would I make these decisions anyway if I never thought about it? Why can't I ever do better? Is this really all I'm capable of? How many people have I let down without knowing? How many people have I burdened? Would the people closest to me have been better off if I was never there? Have I ever made a single person happy? Have I ever been happy?

A lot of the pleasure in something like a realist 19th-centruy novel is similar to the pleasure of wandering aimlessly about a mazy green JRPG town and reading all lines of whimsical dialogue assigned to the different NPCs, discovering the odd folks tucked away in the hard-to-reach nooks of the map, charting the short-cut from the ruined shrine to the haunted pumpkin patch. I'm in no rush.

Yknow, I keep wondering how meaningful if my existence if I'm truly terrible at everything I do.
I look like an ogre with goblin arms and a wide frame despite my short height. A consistent lisp that hinders my overall speech. Thinning hair, perhaps soon to be balding. Obviously lonely and unlikeable. Unskilled and unfit to work in a decent place.
It begs the question, what purpose do I serve in anyone's life, let alone my own? Am I destined to end up being one of those depressed construction workers that have long given up on their ambitions? It sorely pains me to see I've grown to become nothing but a heap of unfortunate features and traits alike.
Even the thought of ending my life feels too much of an unnecessary measurement.

People say that scholarship about "icky" schools of thought like fascism, monarchism and the counter-enlightenment are crippled due to their histories exclusively being written by people who are completely unable and unwilling to think historically and contextually about them, who would much rather prefer writing grand tales of Good and Evil instead, but the opposite is probably even worse. I was looking for a history of anarchism but they are literally all written by anarchist activists or people who are engaged in activist scholarship. It's like if the only available books about national socialism would be those of David Irving. The absolute state of academia.

Skills can be learned, and you're obviously very intelligent, so that shouldn't be a problem.
You seem very honest. I feel like I can trust you and you don't mean any harm.
Your physique doesn't dictate that people can't love you deeply.

Carl Jung said
"There is no single, definitive way for the individual... if you want to go on your individual way, it is the way you make for yourself, which is never prescribed, which you do not know in advance, and which simply comes into being of itself when you put one foot in front of the other.
If you always do the next thing that needs to be done, you will go most safely and sure-footedly along the path prescribed by your unconscious.
Then it is naturally no help at all to speculate about how you ought to live."

Truth is, almost all people are like that. In the past, people weren't all individually successful but they would make groups with frens and progress together (not as equals of course. There must be hierarchy). This is what they took from us and what we must recreate. I'm not sure how, but it's the right direction. Leftists know this and actively work to suppress it. From Sally Gearhart Wikipedia page:
>Gearhart does not base this radical proposal on the idea that men are innately violent or oppressive, but rather on the "real danger is in the phenomenon of male-bonding, that commitment of groups of men to each other whether in an army, a gang, a service club, a lodge, a monastic order, a corporation, or a competitive sport." Gearhart identifies the self-perpetuating, male-exclusive reinforcement of power within these groups as corrosive to female-led social change.

I think the initial phase of writing a book is exciting, and that's it.
I like to plan all kinds of things to write about, and then write a little bit about each of those things.
I really like to write small little things. Usually anything between one line up to 10 pages if I feel really inspired.
I think I will just keep writing small little things and then compile them into a book comprised of such small little stories and observations, poems, and a little bit of everything. Maybe I'll stitch some of it together later to a bigger more coherent whole.
It's really those inspired moments that I enjoy, not writing a book in and of itself.

I can't seem to enjoy any creative content anymore. I don't know how to locate media that might like. I don't use algorithmic recommendations, so I go through this cycle of imagining the old crap I used to enjoy was really good, going back to it, finding it not that great, and then waiting a couple years so that the cloudiness of time makes it seem somewhat promising once again. In the meantime I go back to scrolling my twitter timeline and looking up obscure nootropics.and reading wikipedia articles about various drugs and receptor proteins.
I'm still wondering whether or not I should go back to being a barfly and smoking with cigarettes. Maybe wrangle me a 6 with only one or two kids. I'll wear one of those "I'm not the step dad. I'm the dad that stepped up" shirts ironically and then unironically and then ironically again.
Why don't I ever feel really pulled in by anything? I see people who are super passionate about niche interests and I'm like "nigga how u did that??"
But at the same time I know that they probably just don't spend 12 hrs a day on their computer and so they have time to lavish careful, loving attention on their interests.
Sometimes I wonder if I'm really such a genius that I just overcomplicate everything to the point that I am functionally retarded, but nah I know I'm only above average, which isn't saying much.

I want to write a very clever response about how you need to stop seeking enjoyment outside of yourself and instead just be in the moment and do the things you haven't been doing but you know you should, in order to have a squeaky clean conscience, and how that will somehow help you enjoy the moment and unlock new paths before you that will present themselves in something that you didn't expect, maybe in something generic you've seen or done many times before, but is now presenting itself in a new light because you've opened yourself in a new alignment to receive deeper more meaningful messages that are drawn in parallel to the path you're on.

Time is the image of eternity. Being is not the fixity of heaven's eternal instant but the transcendental unfolding of world-becoming - self-apperception - Geist's reflective contemplation in the unity of the multiplicity of instants - Becoming as the sequence of the only existent actualities enjoined in this double contemplation which unites the highest atemporal principle of intellection and the basest atemporal principle of Be. In the Incarnation is bound the objectivity of subjectivity as the principle of self-unfolding and the subjectivity of objectivity as the object of the will of Geist.

I visited him last week to check on him and it was obvious he was making an effort to seem OK. Later he went on a rant about relationships, women and how being alone was the best thing ever.
I could pretty much write down everything he said, put some nice leather cover and publish it as Compendium of Cope.
I don't feel bad about him, shit happens, but this made me realize that I don't really know him. A guy I've known since elementary school felt the need to keep face in with me instead of opening up.

There is this letter that people often quote when talking about WW2 where I'm from, written by a woman who requested the piano of a jewish family who got locked in the ghetto, because after that happened there was supposedly a distribution of previously jewish-owned goods and objects among the non-jewish populace and one way to do that was to write a letter of request. People usually quote it as proof of how corrupt people were, as proof of a moral nadir in society, but frankly I can't really say that I feel that large of a difference between this and communists expropriating goods from the previous elites and the kulaks after the war ended. I'm supposed to find the former abhorrent and the latter as some sort of grand and laudable attempt at social equalization, some form of just retribution on the exploiters by the exploited, but is discrimination by the victors against the vanquished based on class that much more moral than discrimination based on ethnicity and class? Especially considering how ethnically charged communism and anti-communism was immediately after the war. Redistributing goods from the exploitative jewish bourgeoisie probably would have had just as significant an effect on reducing social inequality as the latter did...way I see it, I'm supposed to find the former bad because it was an attempt at redistribution by those who ultimately lost the war, and the latter laudable because it was an attempt at redistribution by those who won the war, done at the expense of the losers. In a logical world I'd either have to consider both equally bad since they both expropriated goods by force, or laud both as significant attempts at reducing social inequality. But not this schizophrenic retardation where taking things away by force is good when the victors do it, and bad when the losers do it.

I'm all for transgenderisms. But not that kind. Not the one taking away our oppressive countercultural friends rights. Because, it is a right to. Just not hate speech. Not the divisive, censoring, and dangerous zone of public slander (phobical), or dangerous speech that is discriminatory which should be taken action against, legally, and reprimanded in it's genderist class action libel, and the associated penalties for Absolute Spiritual values at the Absolute Mind level (cf. Hegel, Phenomenology of Mind/Spirit). We are free, but at our roots, we are what we are, born as we are; to become who, that we are who we are as profilable, and that profile does say this or that, and this should be discussed with a medical establishment in oath to do no harm, only observe the biological noumenon as it is. It is easy to profit and cause harm, as a statistical filtration, but it is also likely that what a client tells it's observant host, is receivable valid, true, and there should be legal licensure and permission to maintain this identity, or claim. If someone were to say a wrong pronoun, or slur, against someone, toward's them, this would be hateful speech, but not a licensed hateful action, until further noticing that it is under examination by a legal action contraindicated. It is not the postiori factor that occurs to me, but rather, the hateful speech to examine, that it is, and persists in it's environment. It is not polite nor acceptable to condone this, but it does occur to me that it happens. As we all transition these pronouns, legalizing Spiritual, right, lawful phenomena epistemologically and executorily to the persons who have underwent a process which is NON-NEGOTIABLE, as a solid phenomena we are capable of being this conscious of self-conscious, in manifold diverse ways together or as one in an objective shared reality (emptied of self, factual postiori it's acting upon this reality: converse to subjective content for itself or in itself (i.e. the subjective is not observable at that time, (e.g. the birth of a new citizen without technical means of understanding their right gender)))*. It is not that there is no negotiation. This negotiation is a process of hearing of the words which naturally occur to one, following the lawful path with regularity and consistency, and normalizing contra outlying factors such as, harm prevention to the collective spirit, in order to facilitate Absolute Knowledge, in and of itself, which, now, in the present case, is that one is fully confirmed and able to validate one's gender in a court of Law, negotiated with the non-negotiable intermediary, the analysts or otherwise ARBITRARY.

It has to be in unison, supported, absolutely known. However, contrary my opinion of 41% Hippocratic qua certified non-harm, I do think that it's important to consider what goes wrong in such negative cases, devoid of concrete wisdoms or insights solid as they seem in order to improve outcome.
>Absolute knowledge is a positive element
It's variableness makes it non-absolute, it's non-absoluteness makes it not positive (affirmable and shared knowing, not the negative of direction or volatility).

I'm quite sure they're telling you to do it because they want to avoid doing it themselves.
My advice is that you should contact your superior, or whoever is at the level above the ones asking you to do it.
Contact him over the phone and tell him that you're stuck in an uncomfortable spot, where you're not comfortable with confronting the homeless guys nor your colleagues about it, since they want you to do it for them. That you don't want any trouble with anyone, and that it's easily solved if the stuff gets removed, and if he can help you and maybe do something to have it removed as fast as possible.

I think that's the proper way to handle it.
Then the problem is technically off your shoulders, where it should never have been in the first place.

In the meantime you could make a temporary signs on pieces of cardboard that says 'private property, (x) not allowed' or something and tape it to the sofas.
That way you don't have to directly confront them, if you do it while they're not there.

Now, /v/ is like a bordello of imaginary characters for underaged masturbaters - their mothers have forsaken them and taught them that the only thing real in life is sex because they just ignore them and give them lots and lots of screen time. Every day and in every way they are trained to be submissive to the female form as the only interface or value of "reality" and even simulacra must be in the form of woman, everything must be woman to ensure the value of the product remains in demand.

it's just an example of a spiritual or mind phenomena abstractly cognizable from it's own view. This humanity concrete happens to be selfish, but part of a system of hosts, a.e. time. It's a temporal manifestation of the evolved word or archetypal word or some kind of agreement and essentially pure Spiritual phenomena, deconstructed from it's meaningless implementation (the particles in matter of all which do emerge as conscious and able to take masterful action, and which are true to their word, giving origin, direction to individuals as they make these agreements, which is the capital profit at once, and the benefit either, and for non-harmful activity, though, this is impossible in Hegel's dialectic to make unrighteousness out of such, such that even criminals will perchance find virtue in miscellaneous elements at random, because that's a normal distribution. Now here, I point to index of topology, which is, in this case, matter, concrete, shared, real, biological or psychological, and phrenic in nature, rooted in it's orientation about the world Absolute, or Spirit with Absolute Knowledge, in Godliness with Self-Knowing to examine the truth, until we are firm in it, reforming our ignorance into Enlightenment with respect to facilitation of such, indifferent and absolved in our solemnity at Communion Absolutely as One through it's wholesomeness, making a thing to go before the Father as Revealed (Absolute Consciousness), The course of the birds and bees (position of rite of sex/intercourse/pleasure, wrongdoing and reality) (cf. his philosophical analysis of Zeus which implies a psychoanalysis), so here, one is able to root at these phrenics Absolutely facilitating this advancement, because, e.g., we are neither Mind or Body in our Higher Sense that is wise, we a Spirits collective with such powers bestowed and begat from the Universe (God the Light in Determination/Flesh/Formality of our Descent into the world (a quantum root? pi approximate roots, or even polynomial? what about just integers?))), in order to alert in communication amongst ourselves, that which we know.

A virus is an application of analys to the phenomenology of these mind phenomena, at the individual level, instead of collective spirit.
A virus is not absolutely known, because it's partial to affairs. It could be an expression of the self, thus 'knowable.' A virus, which has infected at all areas of living, such as a humanity condition would be such an Absolute thing, if there were one. Thanks, (I'm working on Feynman technique as well here)

I don't really like hot pockets, but some times I eat them. They remind me of my first job at a distribution warehouse for medical grade glass products, working the graveyard shift. We weren't allowed to leave the building for anything but to smoke at night, I was told because someone had died in a car accident on their way to get lunch at the usual time around one in the morning. They had microwaves in the cafeteria, so I would pick up a box of hot pockets on the way to work and just eat those. I'd have just about enough time for a smoke out back after I was done. In hindsight, it was a pretty good job. At least compared to the gulags I ended up in, one right after another afterwards. It was even in a nice place. Situated in a mountain top industrial part surrounded by nothing by dense forest. Its connection to the world an interstate highway that ran straight through the valley below. I guess this is why hot pockets give me a nostalgic feeling even though I don't really like them. I wonder if one day I'll be nostalgic for insect protein patties for similar reasons.

Last night I had a dream where I was in my bed trying to sleep then I heard laughing and noise from the living room, I got irritated and went to see what's going on and found someone wrapped in a blanket like a mummy with his feet on the TV buttons, it was a big CRT TV, and for some reason I knew this was my younger brother (I actually live alone), so I started thinking how do I get him back to his bed then looked back and he is gone (and somehow the room quitly changed to my old family home's living room without realizing it), I was surprised he's gone but I thought he might've woke up and went back to his bed, I decided to go downstairs and then I saw this woman with a wrinkled face gray from the lower forehead to her chin run at me so fast, I had this strange adrenaline rush that you get from stretching but x100 times more intense, she ran and her neck landed right between my hands so I choked her and beat her ass and fucked her.

I have been having this kind of rush in my dreams often, it's really weird because it is right when I realize that it's a dream (nightmare) and I start thinking: this is scarier than anything I have experienced but it's just a dream, so I have to act against this intense fear by being as violent as I can.

>If you’re struggling to describe a face or a landscape, try this: close your eyes and describe what your mind’s eye sees. The mind’s eye is a tool. And so is the mind’s ear – which as we’ll see is the conductor, the musical director, of your prose.

>[Great artists] are gifted with an exceptional inner ear, which means that their prose is almost wholly free of ‘false quantities’ (in the non-technical sense): free of rhymes, chimes, repetitions, toe-stubs, letdowns, free of anything, in short, that makes the careful reader pause without profit.

>For example, when I am reading – this applies to fiction especially but not just to fiction – I partly imagine that what I have on my lap is a provisional draft of something that might have been written by me. So I’m thinking, Mm, I wouldn’t put it quite like that, I’d avoid that repetition, this phrase isn’t precise enough, that word should’ve been tucked in earlier in the sentence, and – again and again – is that rhyme/half-rhyme/alliteration intended or is it unintended? Et cetera.

>Going on being a writer while you are reading becomes second nature and helps train the ear. As for getting the prose to flow smoothly – that’s more mysterious. But certitude of rhythm can be cumulatively acquired. With [great artists], it seems to be innate. So we can marvel at them, but we can’t learn from them.

>Let me assure you that you do have an inner ear – everybody does; and it is a vital instrument (and helpmate), almost as vital as your subconscious. But before you can bond with it, you first have to find it.

>Having established a relationship with your mind’s ear (your aural imagination), you can then go on to cultivate it. I spend a large fraction of my working day saying whole sentences again and again in my head. What I’m doing is probing for dissonances, for false quantities.

For a 500 page book:

~3$ for a cheap binder
~10$ for 500 pages of A4 paper

~75$ to print 500 pages with a personal printer, making it ~88$ all in all
~35$ to print 500 pages with a color laser printer, making it ~48$ all in all
~25$ to print 500 pages with a monochromatic laser printer, making it ~38$ all in all

You can adjust the toner strength to not use as much ink if you can live with not reading pitch black text. Which will probably significantly reduce the cost.

It is what it is, but it's doable.

The quick rundown on Mormonism is that it's a proto-New Age pseudo-Christian cult, founded on the belief in an open canon of scripture, with the Book of Mormon and various other writings joining the Bible as the word of God, a living prophet and quorum of "apostles" as governing body, meetinghouses for liturgical worship as well as temple buildings closed to the public for more confidential ceremonies, and a belief in an eternal cycle of the creation of worlds and the divinization of their inhabitants into new deities as the foundation for the rest of its dogma.
Mormons hold to a dietary code known as the Word of Wisdom, which forbids the use of alcohol, tobacco, tea, and coffee. When serving their form of the Eucharist, they use store-bought bread and tap water. They are heavily discouraged from getting tattoos or wearing revealing clothing due to the belief that the body is a temple and image of the living God, who Mormons believe to have a physical body as well, and who is said to reside near a star named Kolob.
They view the Constitution as divinely inspired and freedom of religion as a divinely-instituted right, as they see America's foundation as an event portending the imminent (relatively speaking) return of Christ, who will rule the new Earth from twin temples in Jerusalem, Israel and Independence, Missouri.
Male Mormons are expected to perform a period of missionary service soon after coming of age, and female Mormons are encouraged to as well, and thus most Mormons speak another language. Mormons generally fund most of the costs of their missionary service themselves. During their missions their activities are severely restricted and they spend nearly every day proselyting door-to-door. The high rate of foreign language knowledge of Mormons combined with their typically clean backgrounds and cultural attitudes toward America makes them excellent candidates for employment in 3-letter agencies.
Mormons place a high value on family as they believe in an eternal cycle of deification: God the Father, in Mormonism, was once a man on another planet or in another universe who became a God and who created the souls of humanity through divine procreation with his spouse, the Heavenly Mother. Mormons are strongly encouraged to marry early and quickly after they complete their missionary service. (1/3)

Male Mormons are ordained into a sort of lay priesthood at the age of 12, divided into the Aaronic and Melchizedek priesthoods with further sub-offices: deacons, teachers, and priests for the former, elders and high priests for the latter. This priesthood, not to be confused with the priesthood of real Christianity, is seen as the power by which God organized the world and through ordination into it one can tap into its power, gaining the ability to perform blessings and other things. Priesthood offices form a power structure in the church, and only male Mormons are allowed to hold power as they are the only ones allowed to hold the priesthood.
Mormons are expected to pay 10% of everything they earn to the church as tithing. Recently a host of massive investments and monetary holdings of the church was exposed to the public, amounting to between $130 billion and upwards of $250 billion, depending on the value of land and businesses within those holdings. Known as Ensign Peak Holdings, this set of investments may make the mainline LDS church one of the richest organizations in the world. The average ward will give upwards of $100,000 a year in tithing to the church and receive a four-figure sum in return to use as its budget, and members are often asked to clean church buildings as unpaid volunteers. Retired Mormons may be called on new periods of missionary service in which they simply perform the business duties they performed during their careers for the church, such as serving as accountants, architects, and so forth, without compensation.
Typically in their teenage years or early adulthood, Mormons will receive what is known as a patriarchal blessing from the patriarch of their area, a person holding a specific priesthood office outside the usual organizational levels of ward (equivalent to a parish) and stake (roughly equivalent to a diocese). This blessing consists of the patriarch divinely receiving knowledge about the Mormon in question's future as well as the tribe of Israel they are descended from. (2/3)

(3/3) Near the age of 20, Mormons will enter the temple to receive what is known as an 'endowment,' a special rite of initiation into the non-public parts of Mormonism. This rite has undergone changes throughout the years to make it more palatable, but generally celebrants will don special robes, receive "tokens" or secret handshakes and gestures, view a performance of the Garden of Eden story with specific changes to reinforce Mormon doctrine, and participate in a prayer circle. In the past, the ceremony included verbalized and gestural promises to slit one's throat, remove one's heart, and disembowel oneself if one revealed the secrets they were taught; the verbal promises have been removed but the gestures remain as "tokens." Once endowed Mormons wear consecrated inner garments, the so-called magic underwear, for life. Senior members of the church with decades of service may be invited to attend a so-called "second annointing," in which they are promised entry to the highest degree of celestial glory and ordained as future rulers of such, regardless of any further sins they may commit in life, short of murder or similar. Officially, second annointing does not exist and most Mormons are unaware of it.
As regards historical issues still relevant to Mormonism: From 1850 (by official accounts) through its official termination in 1890, Mormons practiced polygamy, and notably Joseph Smith had up to 44 wives, some as young as 14. After the end of official polygamy, splinter groups appeared who continued the practice, notably the FLDS. Until 1978, black Mormons were barred from holding the priesthood as they were seen as descendants of a cursed people from the Book of Mormon. The state of Utah was once a theocracy ruled by Brigham Young, Joseph Smith's successor, and during his tenure some Mormons committed several massacres against natives and travelers, most notably the Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1857. There are rumors that Young employed assassins against his enemies, known as "destroying angels," but the historical records are fragmentary.
Contemporary issues relevant to Mormonism include the numerous historical issues in the Book of Mormon and attempts to rationalize them, conflicting accounts from the early church, conflict with current social issues such as LGBT rights and feminism, doctrinal and philosophical conflicts, sex abuse scandals perpetrated by Mormons and covered up by the church, and declining member participation rates as a result of the Internet, the COVID-19 plague, and aging populations of committed believers.

How would you educate a stereotypical zoomer sibling? He is remarkably lazy and spends nearly all of his free time gaming or scrolling YouTube and TikTok. He expresses desire for things but fails to do any of the necessary work to really do them, let alone succeed at them. He is willing to do certain things, but only if you really ride his ass about it and only after he’s already clearly and publicly failed, which is obviously insufficient for long-term success. I can’t ride his ass forever and his father seems perfectly content with mediocrity or less. So I’m at a loss. My warnings have basically gone unheeded for about 6 months now. I feel a bit of a hypocrite because I’m at a stage in my life where I spend a lot of it in leisure, but I am in my thirties and I really worked very hard to be able to live this way. Still, I do feel hypocritical about it and understand that he sees the leisure and not the work it took to earn the leisure. I just want him to understand that he can have leisure and live life slowly if that’s what he wants but if what he wants is something different than he has to earn it and there’s no way around this. I’m worried he’s going to wake up at 28 as another boy with worthless parents or parent that failed out of school has no career prospects no marriage or dating prospects and spends all his time with digital heroin, a story which is far too common now.

I’m 31. I earned a lot of money when I was younger and am currently employed in a sort of sinecure job. I have about 2 or 3 months per year where I have to work, 2 or 3 where I have to do nothing at all, and 2 or 3 and the rest I take phone calls and answer e-mails for the most part.

I don’t know if it’s his impression that my life is just leisure without having had to work for it but I certainly think it could be. It’s difficult for me to tell what I should do if that’s the case. I spend a lot of my free time reading and writing and you know that’s not exactly the same sort of mindless leisure as scrolling TikTok or whatever. I wouldn’t say I’m being productive but I don’t necessarily think I’m wasting time either. Do you know what I mean? He’s unwilling to even read. For example, he asked me to buy several books for him so he could read them. 6 months later he hasn’t read so much as a single chapter. He expressed the other day the desire to one day get a PhD in history and become a historian, which is laughable because he’s not even read a history book. You know, that’s very different from the way I am. I might not work hard right now, but I do things I find worthwhile. So I don’t know if his issue is finding nothing worthwhile and just grasping at straws, just being lazy, or being so distracted by the phone that the time and attention just evaporates. He and others seem to think I’m simply too harsh and have very high expectations for people. I can admit that sometimes this is true, but not in this case.

ESL here as well.
I feel like English is severely limited in its expressiveness. It's generally very hard to translate/transfer the meaning from a Germanic language into English in my opinion, due to how the sentences are structured in Germanic languages with much stricter grammar and the way Germanic languages use compounded root words to a much higher degree, and how it makes room for much more flowing sentences due to how word endings and filler words can be used in various different ways to express the meaning differently.
When I translate something from Danish into English, I feel like I'm reducing the sentence and so much meaning is lost.
If I do a direct translation from English to Danish it sounds like I'm speaking toddler language.
But if do a direct translation from Danish into English, it sounds like I'm old wise nobility.

When I use English I feel like half the language is missing. It's very imprecise and very open to misinterpretation in my experience.
All of this is not even mentioning how retarded English is phonetically, where every word basically has their own rule of how to be pronounced, whereas Germanic languages usually have very strict general pronunciation rules.

What do you think motivated you to work harder when you were your brother's age? Did you not have the option to neet as he currently is, or maybe you had a stronger sense of hope for the future that he lacks? I think your brother's issue is motivation. If he is doing a lot of gaming it probably means he has mental energy and talent to spare, but nowhere to direct it. A man needs a sense of having some stake in the future, a way to advance his status and the belief that the rewards for said status will be worth it. I don't think the prospect of future leisure is enough to get motivated.

I’ve thought about this. I’m not sure. I think to a huge degree I worked hard in the wrong ways, at the wrong things. I didn’t really have much guidance in my life and a lot of expectations fell on me at a pretty young age and sometimes I think that maybe I just didn’t know any other way to be, like it was just momentum. I think also grew up in a time where severe screen addiction wasn’t as possible. I mean, I spent a lot of time online too but not mindlessly scrolling social media. That wasn’t really an option until I had long been an adult. As an adolescent we had, MySpace and Facebook and that was basically it. We did have YouTube and video games but they weren’t like they are today. He games but not that much. Frankly, I don’t have a problem with him gaming or scrolling social media or whatever. It’s rather what bothers me is that he does these things while at the same time failing to do the things he needs to do in order achieve the results he’s expressed desire for. It’s like he thinks these things are just a matter of will without having to you know live out the will. The historian thing is a perfect example. He thinks he can just along the way like choose to be a historian without having to spend a lot of time in history books first. I have no idea why this is. When I was young, I had a really hard time finding things that were worthwhile. I worked my ass off but only on things that I thought they were worth it. I slacked in school, for example, and really worked hard outside of school, and I’m prone to laziness same as anyone else but I never had this disconnect in understanding that things need to be chipped away at for certain results. Understanding that is half the battle. Doing it is the other half. You know? You can understand that and if you don’t do the work then that’s that but you can always turn it around by doing the work, but if you don’t even understand that, then it’s like it’s hopeless. Even the things you want to do will be untenable. I think my parents have spoiled him quite a lot and I think I have to a huge extent too actually. What do you think I should do who it his motivation? He tells me he’s identified a couple of careers that he’s interested in but he still seems unwilling to do what’s necessary or spend much time on them.

I don't know the answer. In myself I find that motivation is like an invisible air current that sometimes passes over me and sometimes not, and I can't control when it comes.

AY. You can say what I wrote says that, but it always helps to read more, comprehend better, sharpen your pencils, take notes, etc. Even the same thing multiple times, temporarily.
The world is made of laws, which have no way of expressing themselves as languages, except to do so, whether it's body language or linguistic phenomena. Mind is inherent, so it's with you when you're born and when you die, it should be a universal or authentic self-consciousness.
I don't necessarily agree with Hegel, I agree in so far as it's a language unto itself, with facility to be utilized for a (phenomenological investigations, dialectic induction), which is that that is parametric to sorting a topology out of it's own accord. I'd say, currently, today from my perspective, that I think Hegel should choose his parameters better in the next life, because it's a matter of philosophy or __boolean universal truthiness, which he did make ;his philosophy categorical of, it's a spiritual phenomena, if he could, but this is one way of attacking the thought of reason, the thing itself as if to say ''matter extends into self, and self extends into consciousness, which is both matters, or has principles and rules and laws, but yet does not matter, is not physical except that it contains a universal embodiment compliment of (notion, negativity), this parametric being the idea or suggestion, even that God determines what is Absolute Knowledge.'

In my new application of this, I'd say as an extension, anthropologically, he makes the implication potential, of which is that this, concrete, is it's own separation of thought as well as it's thinker, thinking as temporal phenomena as a fateful activity, determined by the individuation through his dialectic such that we have the peace of mind potential of such nothings that we are not and capable of, Godliness : cf. (God, Phenomena) = Anything, because it abstracted God/The Absolute Spirit, by abstracting phenomena, and by doing so makes concrete of both. (here's a cool link I haven't/never will read probably: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concrete_Mathematics))
digressing on a tangent:
Personally I'd like to research, what I'm now setting up, to think immediately now of, fractals, fractal brains and smoke, mirrors, as well as of approximate distortion and angles that separate objects amongst each other in discontinuity of non-agreeable natures. Which sounds savage, now that I think about it, because it has no agreeableness and reflects specter-scale (cf. infinite, partiality) duty unsigned agreeably or even inmost conflict.

What I personally mean by this in brief, is that we have 1st person mind, 2nd person theology, and 3rd person basedentists. In my personal belief

Well, what can be done? You speak of potential careers, but how will he pursue them? What are his qualifications? School grades, test scores? Is he gainfully employed? If not, when was the last time he was? That ever-widening gap in his resume will swallow him whole.

Is he as smart/talented as you? Are these careers a possibility or a pipedream? Perhaps he's happy being a deadbeat, and you're pushing your 'hot shot career and bitch wife' middle-class neuroses on him, even if it is with the best of intentions.

What I will say to that is that human law is a fiction upheld by violence. Its word is interpreted subjectively.
The law is only there as long as there is a human behind the law, and one in front of it. Someone judging by it, and someone being judged by it. Its application is subjective.
The totality of the world however is much different than what is dictated by the law. In its totality the world is fundamentally pure freedom, and only spirit dictates action. There is only freedom of choice as long as nothing has been chosen. Since, when something is chosen, it is being done actively, directly at the exclusion of the other choices.
Between individuals, true love can only be found in agreement of the way. The way towards whatever is agreed upon basing itself in action.
True love requires the free choice to love in order to be true. So the human law can not lead to true love unless the law is freely and mutually agreed upon through consensus.
Violence is what upholds/affirms law by nature, but only non-aggression and non-violence and mutual agreement can lead to true love.
