Brihadaranyaka Upanishad

>If a man knows "I am brahman" in this way, he becomes this whole world. Not even the gods are able to prevent it, for he becomes their very self (atman). So when a man venerates another deity, thinking, "He is one, and I am another," he does not under-stand. As livestock is for men, so is he for the gods. As having a lot of livestock is useful to a man, so each man proves useful to the gods. The loss of even a single head of livestock is painful; how much more if many are lost. The gods, therefore, are not pleased at the prospect of men coming to understand this.

I had to move to another city when I was 8. The realization that some things were out of my control broke something inside of me. All of my other problems can trace back their origin to this event.

it's annoying how /lit/ tends to attract the worst losers on 4chan. can't you go shit up an orange board dude.

The alternative version of myself that I was supposed to become has died and left behind a stinking corpse in the form of a rainforest of expired and rotting vegetables in my fridge

>>22735547
Grass is always greener. I didn't get married for exactly this reason and I feel like a dirty old man sex tourist. I want to say I wonder what being loved is like but honestly every relationship I've ever had with a woman was just endless bickering with some cunt.

I hate the Vtuber/anime/child/cute voice.

I think a big problem on 4chan nowadays is that this is the only remaining website that is a popular, accessible forum with minimal censorship so people feel the need to just talk about random shit as an act of freedom. They don't really talk about the actual board topics that much. This is partly because the whole Internet is a discourse machine now but also because 4chan is unique in even allowing this kind of expression. These threads for example are the most popular on this board and have little to do with literature

>>22735563
I want to know what its like to just come home and chill guilt-free and not listen to retarded banalities. Idk I always knew I wanted a family and am glad with my decision but my life isnt really my own and my interests dont matter. I just want some time to read and some fucking passion. I miss my early 20s and my old dogshit relationship. To get older is to become less and less romantic until practicality swallows you whole.

have you ever known someone who committed suicide? if so, how did your opinion of them change after their death?
i'm struggling to parse an old friend's suicide. it's a weird way to go out. could use some anonymous and diverse opinions

>>22735584
I wonder how many people lurk on /lit/ everyday? any mods with stats care to share? do you thinks demons lurk on here? post even? possess even? kekekek

>>22735527
how old are you? you could still change your life but 9 years is crazy lmao

>>22735584
i just post on 4chan cuz it's the only place that doesn't require an account. literature is possibly the only true joy of my life, except maybe a really good flow state coding session, so i post on this board, but if i found other sites that don't require accounts i'd probably go there. i used to post on slashdot when they let you post as anonymous coward without an account. once they added the account requirement to post even anonymously, i dropped it. that was, sadly, many many years ago.

>>22735586
Not suicide but one of my best friends relapsed and left his wife to live in a squallerly drug house with prostitutes for two years or so before dying in a car accident. He was an awesome and very caring guy who just made bad decisions and had ptsd and serious anger problems from being molested as a kid. Theres no reason to harbor resentment for your friend, man. He did what he did. It was a shitty thing to do but he obviously felt it was necessary for some reason or other.

Today I was sitting on the park bench reading litrpgs on my kindle, when an old man came and sat next to me. He glanced at my kindle and asked me about what I was reading very kindly and enthusiastically. I was too embarrassed to say a litrpg, so I muttered something very quietly and then ignored him. He laughed then continued sitting there for a few minutes before getting up and leaving. Now I feel bad. How would you Anons deal with a situation like this?

They wouldn't have to. They could work with you on them during session time to help make the strategies habitual. I can't help but think that you aren't that bad off since you have had the attention span to stick with this conversation across a sea of distracting posts from other anons about completely other subjects. Clearly you are capable of caring enough to latch on to something spanning more than a couple of hours. You may just enjoy arguing with people online more than you want to do better in your personal life but that is not a symptom of ADHD.
>Because I'm a dropout with no skills, I can only get either shitty, under-the-table jobs (very common here) or shitty, "proper" jobs that still manage to disregard most labor laws.
Sounds like you may need to relocate by any means necessary. Again not a symptom of ADHD. Your problems seem to consistently veer away from your "illness" if I'm being honest with you anon.

that beat is so sick. putting that mellow jazz guitar riff over that farty monophonic synth line is so simple but so perfect. for the longest time i thought that guitar was like an organ or sth until i heard the chopped and screwed version where you can hear it's a guitar. i tried to look up the samples, but they don't seem to be listed anywhere.

why do anons delete their posts and make me question my sanity?

i am severely, dangerously underweight. i'm 5'11 and weigh 96lbs (43.5kg). i look like frail dying tree. some kind of pale spaghetti apparition.
i need to stop doing drugs. i don't like the idea that i could be physically overpowered by most random people on the street. even your average woman can likely best me in physical combat. a good running tackle from a plump—or even just healthy-weight, 5'5" —that would be lights out for me. bones shattered.
i don't like meeting people too much because this shit is embarrassing. absolutely ridiculous bodily configuration that i've cultivated here.
i'd like to thank the CIA for storing this post forever, i wanna thank my mom for making this all possible, i want to thank the future enjoyers of stalking random people across vast stretches of time, and lastly i'd like to thank you, anon, for reading today's entry of my diary desu

I'm only entertaining the thought of having ADHD out of desperation. I just want to understand why I feel so different from others. Is it just a lack of grit? Maybe my parents should have hit me when I was a kid? Do I just need to get laid? Should I throw everything away and experience real hardship?

I barely spoke to anyone at all when I was 18/19. It was very common for me to go 3 weeks without talking to a single person. That would be interrupted by only a brief exchange. I think it permanently affected the way I talk. It's been several years since then and I still talk funny.

I genuinely could use some talking through on this.
Of all the countries and peoples on earth, Croatia and Croats must make me the most angry. Yet I'm not a Serb; I have no ancestry from the Balkans period. I'm an American, who never left North America, whose ancestry is almost exclusively from the British Isles and France.
For the past year I haven't been able to read about Croatia in the '90s without my blood pressure rising; one time I got tunnel vision and my ears popped.
It certainly isn't from ignorance or lack of knowledge; I'm sure most people haven't even heard how it was Croats who bombed the Statue of Liberty on June 3rd, 1980, and hijacked a plane while bombing Grand Central Terminal, killing a NYPD officer on September 11th, 1976,
https://youtu.be/eqLU0QTrir0?t=1748 (29:08)
https://nypost.com/2017/09/28/the-true-story-of-a-cops-forgotten-911-death-from-1976/
So I certainly have reason to detest the Croatian state and Croatian nationalism, but why does it elicit such stronger emotions than other abhorrent nations and peoples? The only other countries that elicit even a semblance of this reaction for me are China and Israel, yet they really aren't even close. I can actually hold constructive conversations with Israelis. If I had to guess why, it would be because many people know of the crimes of China and Israel, and are actively opposing them, whereas Croatia's crimes are unknown and forgotten. But is that seriously it? My reaction to Croatia and Croats is akin to the evolutionary reactions of people to fangs, spiders, and snakes. Can an added layer of escaped accountability really be the only difference?
I was born amidst a Croatian offensive against Krajina Serb civilians, although I admittedly was not conceived during any noteworthy offensive. I sometimes wonder if I'm the reincarnation of a Krajina Serb civilian, brutalized and murdered by HV criminals, and the trauma of it lasted into my current life. I mean, what other answers are there? The more I learn about Croatia, the angrier it makes me; is it beyond the realm of possibility that I'm unlocking sentiments and memories, or opening wounds from a previous life?

Have you guys ever thought about how humans suck at making beautiful things compared to nature? You can take almost any animal, any plant, any forest, and it will look prettier or cooler than 99% of man-made architecture or art. Even after humans cut down all the primeval forests, the ones that grew back in their place are already pretty enough after a few hundred years to deeply inspire and move us.

Idk man. I'm not a theist but how do you even explain that? Literally anything created by nature just looks good, even if it's a threat to us.

I have ADHD. My reality reforms itself every ~15 seconds based on my pure total utilization on short accessible memory as opposed to with a long stored form. I know that from today, today as in the object, case in point, and point in case that the end is indifferent. I strangle and grip this idea or thought periodically, well enough that it was capable of burning into my long term memories, or core memories as you will, and this thought or feeling I call it due to lack of mental capacity to properly order that/this train of thought will be my character and or self before I die until I do die and it is reduced into 'nothingness',

>>22736168
and in these moments leading to my death, these thoughts will affect my interpretation of my lifetime, meaning in my last moments I will believe no time passed from this initial prospect to my last, my death. How do I rid this fear?

It could be a million things man. I hope Im not coming off like Im shitting on you for this. Its fully possible that you don't give a shit about what other people do. It doesn't sound like its ADHD though. I still recommend seeking treatment for it, if for nothing else than it might help shed some light on the real issue. Contrary to popular belief, incorrect diagnoses rarely goes unnoticed.

A story I am experimenting with:

"Princess Andromeda, a being shrouded in mystical energies and possessing extraordinary psychic abilities, reigned over a benevolent celestial realm engaged in a relentless battle against an empire of malevolence. It came to pass that this intrepid princess, inspired by courage and determination, made a fateful decision to lead a daring mission to rescue countless souls enslaved by one of the most notorious tyrants in the known galaxies.

The malefactor in question, known as Gula Raptus, could be aptly described as an immense creature resembling a lumbering whale, its enormous maw capable of expanding to cavernous proportions, much like an unhinged anaconda. Its form, a curious amalgamation of a whale, a gargantuan worm, and an extraordinary walrus, exhibited an awe-inspiring spectacle. Gula Raptus, as stated, possessed a mouth of prodigious size, matched by a massive bluish serpentine tongue, curiously hermaphroditic in nature. This impressive organ, equal in length to that of a medium-sized human, held the principal duty of perpetuating Gula Raptus through self-impregnation.

Thus, Gula Raptus utilized its immense, tadpole-sized sperm to impregnate a vast harem of intergalactic slave girls and concubines, bypassing traditional fertilization processes. These peculiar tadpole-like creatures, akin to gargantuan green sperm cells, attached themselves directly to the wombs of the enslaved maidens, experiencing rapid growth and development within. After several weeks of gestation, they would ultimately be birthed by the impregnated slave girls.

Emerging from these unequal unions were miniature clones, bearing a striking resemblance to the walrus-like intergalactic kingpin known as Gula Raptus. However, these clones were not brought into existence within the confines of the mighty kingpin's invincible fortress planet, known as Gula Maximus. Instead, once the slave girls reached the peak of their pregnancies, they were gathered together as a group and transported aboard a vessel from Gula Raptus' fleet to the birthing and nursery moon known as Gula Minor. In this lunar abode, the quasi-surrogate mothers, bound by their enslavement, raised the clonal progeny of Gula Raptus.

Following a mere span of five years, the clonal Gula Raptuses matured under the guidance and tutelage of commanders handpicked by Gula Raptus himself. These commanders initiated them into the necessary arts encompassing war and commerce. However, it was the imposing figure of Gula Raptus who maintained a telepathic connection with his clones, forging an unnerving unity of thought. Thus, their unwavering loyalty to the kingpin remained unblemished, rendering them the most faithful emissaries, both as traders and as warriors, incarnations of their progenitor's desires."

I finally watched the barbie movie and i was expecting something interesting because people told me it was good but I was wrong. It was literally women are awesome, men are dumb idiots and everything is their fault. most cringe moment was america ferrera complaining about being a contemporary woman. the movie simultaneously tries to uplift them while also showcasing everything stereotypically wrong with women at the same time, I couldn't believe how absurd the writing was. like how they claim that the women who start canoodling with the men are simply "infected", basically absolving them of responsibility and personal will.

Does anything matter anymore? Just gave counsel to a friend of mine who wants to dump her boyfriend. She went in the convo acting like she was seeking advice for her relationship but she slowly unraveled that she already took her decision months ago and wanted someone to support it. The worst thing is that I know the guy because he's also a friend. The soon-to-be ex was looking forwards to their career together and their future kids last time he talked to me and all she could talk about on the phone is how she doesn't feel anything for him anymore and wants to fuck other people.

Really tried to save the guy but she clearly wanted out so I gave her my blessings and she was happy in the end. Why even be in a relationship if nothing or no one matters to you? The older I grow the more tired I get of everything that has to do with humans.

Well it was good for her to move on if thats how she felt. Otherwise you would ask why she was stringing him along. Are you a woman? Maybe you want to be with him. If so, go for it. No need to get cynical, though I do get it. Relationships are tough.

I adore watching the intellectual classes of neocons/new atheists/anti-woke grifters/bay area tech retards/intellectual dark web liberals freak the fuck out over Israel's reputation around the world collapsing.

>>22736267
In the murky depths of time, there existed a figure of unimaginable power - Gula Raptus, the ensnaring monarch of the known realm. A being of five centuries, he possessed clones that were but feeble replicas, doomed to a mere hundred years of existence. Throughout the ages, Gula Raptus, though refraining from causing harm to his enslaved maidens, employed the pretense of terror to ensure their unwavering docility. Yet, in later years, his methods evolved, relying instead on a preponderance of hormones to maintain his hold over them.

In his insidious dominion, he feigned the consumption of these hapless souls, threatening to devour them in one fell swoop. But in all the centuries that had befallen him, not once had he devoured a single slave girl or concubine. However, certain men who dared challenge or invoke his wrath were consumed with a ravenous hunger that could not be sated. Nevertheless, Gula Raptus's sustenance primarily derived from a diet of colossal mud tadpoles, the larvae of the dreadfully monstrous serpentine behemoth reigning in the murky swamps of Gula Maximus - a sluggish species known as Culibarius.

The unorthodox manner in which Gula Raptus impregnated his enslaved maidens and concubines possessed a grotesque peculiarity. Employing a system of pulleys and ropes, he lowered them into his cavernous and salivating maw, their modest coverings cast aside. This prospect alone, especially during the initial encounters, caused the maidens to succumb to faintness even before reaching the depths of his jaws, where they would find themselves submerged up to their waists or midriffs. Once safely nestled within Gula Raptus's maw to his peculiar liking, his colossal blue tongue, akin to the size of these unfortunate women, would release but a singular green tadpole. Propelled through a phallus-like tubular structure, a forceful jet of verdant liquid would propel this worm-like entity, riding atop the intoxicating wave, into the awaiting abyss of their feminine essence. With his tongue sealing their entrance for a brief span of time, the emerald spawn would venture forth, swimming and crawling, often against the back splashing currents, penetrating deep within their wombs. Attached to this fecundative chamber, it toyed with their hormonal balance and beguiled their endorphins, inducing a blissful subservience. Additionally, these maidens would experience weekly paroxysms of unparalleled ecstasy, ensuring their loyalty and contentment. This quasi-factory cycle repeated with each slave girl or concubine until the comparably mature age of forty, at which point they would retire, free to inhabit the realm of Gula Maximus as they saw fit.

>>22736345
I'm not a woman. Yeah, it's probably better for the guy in the long run but that still fucking sucks. The whole thing is iffy. To me if you don't want kids then don't get in a long term relationship with someone who wants kids. No time wasted and the world would become a better place.

First there was only niggers and Mongols and Native Americans on the planet. They killed and raped against each other, strong massacring the weak, the weak trying to gather the largest possible distance from the strong. Anthropophagy: their politics, superstition, their religion.
Somewhere in the Altai, or in Siberia, or in the Himalayas, white people appeared. Isolated in some cold, snowy place somewhere deep inside the highest mountains, they herded their animals, searched for precious metals, invented the wheel, searched for their Gods in the sky.
Nimrod leaved the group and invaded Assyria. He killed masses of nigger warriors, mounted on a chariot tank and enslaved the rest. The first state in history saw it's creation. Nimrod and his white gang ruled their slaves despotically and relentlessly, imposed on them religion and laws.
After a while, Nimrod and his people had completely merged into this mass of niggers and became indistinguishable from them. Semites penetrated this civilized region and conquered the descendants of Ham to establish new Assyrian states. History repeats itself.
The Aryan group descended from the mountains to the region of Iran, where Slavs and Celts split from them to search for a region more septentrional. Iranians and Vedes, still united, split, the Iranians to conquer the Semites, the Vedes to find the Aryavarta.
Two Vede tribes leave the Aryavarta, one to the East to found China, one to the South-West, sailing ships, to found Egypt.
Greeks conquer Semites in the Balkan.
Illyrians and Thracians found their own empires to the North of the Greeks.
Slavs and Celts mingle with the Finnish peoples, thriving in some permanent state of theocratic anarchy.
Semitized Celto-Slavs found Rome, seventh civilization in the order of history.
Finally Germanics came and took everything.

>>22736396
Verily, Gula Raptus is the most wretched and fearful being that ever lived, for he is the very embodiment of dread and despair, which, like the ancient gods of yore, who sought to mingle with the daughters of men, in a perverse and unnatural lust, whereby they craved the doom of mortal flesh, or the closest union with the same and with their monstrous offspring. With these, it was said, they spoke in secret thoughts, and through them they partook of the curse, as it were, of mortality itself, casting off the bonds of immortality which Jove forbade them to break, under the penalty, not of death, but of endless life with endless woe. In a word, the worst of both worlds. Their only solace, as said, being to lie with a mortal maid, of surpassing and unearthly beauty, and to beget by her a half-mortal, and therefore mortal, copy of themselves. Gula Raptus, in brief, was the prodigious and wayward result of such a union, rebelling against the boundless and cruel pride of his immortal sire and the equally culpable dame who had dared to assume the airs, regardless of how much she feigned to have been deceived or violated by a deathless one, and to bring forth a creature who was doomed, doomed from the womb, to be the tool or the proxy or the clone of a higher being who wished to feel, as closely as possible, with a lower one, thereby giving his son the most inhuman of legacies: the disinheritance from his father's godly grace, power, and eternity. A mere toy of a cross-dressing, sadistic god, who feared to sire a foe, who might usurp, surpass him, and even confine him for evermore. The outcome of this immortal envy or prideful spite and blindness to the feelings of the begotten lesser one was Gula Raptus. How many other such blindly and hopelessly envious and estranged half-divine and half-vampiric beings there were in the cosmos she knew not. But she knew that there was at least one too many: Gula Raptus. Whom she henceforth chose to name in her mind Gula Ghoul.

You realize agriculture was developed in the Middle East? The people there were and are tan skinned, an environmental adaptation, but otherwise have Caucasoid facial bone structure. Whiteness is also an environmental adaptation, etc, etc. And to be sure, what you call mongoloids, are on average more intelligent than whites?

>>22736299
I watched it recently as well. It only deepens my suspicion that critics are braindead. And either just repeat what other critics say, or are deeply in the pocket of Hollywood.
Pretty much every critic wrote about how it was daring and subversive.
Meanwhile the movie is just bland political propaganda.
If there is any message at all it was just solipsistic individualism--wherein the only value that matters is individual empowerment.
"You can do whatever the F you want don't let society's rules get you down. You go girl!"
This is supposed to be radical? Lmao
It's also funny how the film presents itself as being critical of consumerism while being the embodiment of it.
Characters were flat, boring, and the humor ungodly cringy.
The male characters are all depicted as superfluous frat bros with zero depth.
Every movie does this these days, male characters are always depicted as blundering and naive

>>22735490

Of course agriculture arose independently. The Indo-Germanic languages trace common or similar words for herdsmanship, but for farming, no. Perhaps was farming even invented by the non-white tribes.
Yellow people are more intelligent after what measure?
Many of them seem to have been heavily influenced by white people too. 'Arion' means 'pure' in Turk or in Mongol, but they both came from Siberia.

>>22736548
I would like to look like this. "Endearingly attractive" would just sound out of left-field, gay and could describe a twink as well as one of these guys. In fact it would describe every man who doesn't look like a hypermasculine gigachad. Should I maybe just tell him he looks like the composer Aleksandr Scriabin? That's who he reminds me of. Anyway the goofy thing is literally my angle to compliment another man's appearance and I think it is actually even better than having the gigachad-look, because its unique.

The moral of such movies, if it can be called a moral, is the modern mythos of the individual freed from all social convention. Social laws/norms/conventions are depicted as aritifical external impositions over an individual. As basically repressive and so bad, as the will of the individial to do as she desires is the only value.
The film overall reflects how narcistic and paranoiac American culture has become--societal constraints are regarded as nothing more than entrapments from which the individual must escape.
Barbie gets to be whoever she wants to be YASS! You go girl!.
Why? Simply for existing, she deserves to get whatever she wants.
It is hard to imagine a more entitled, thoroughly narcisitic message.
The ending of the film is a re-affirmation of extreme consumeristic individualism where the only value is self-empowerment. The freedom of Barbie to change her name to Barbara and visit a gynecologist is the highest good. Individual self-affirmation, self-esteem is the only imaginable good the stunted and unimagintive Hollywood writer can imagine.

>>22736574
> The people there were and are tan skinned, an environmental adaptation, but otherwise have Caucasoid facial bone structure
Philology refutes this claim.

>>22736595
The accuracy of the description matters less than the implications of looking "goofy" in any context. You are not trying to paint a picture of what this guy looks like for him. He can see himself in a mirror for that. You are trying to complement him no?

>>22736595
Obviously anyone would like to look like Pratt and this guy. I mean I would like to look like a fun outgoing guy. I am reasonably attractive myself, maybe just a bit less than my friend, but its a boring attractiveness and thus I don't even have a thing going for me. Not attractive enough to turn heads but completely not endearing.

>>22736606
And yet you provide no evidence.

>>22736607
Oh right but Scriabin is a goofy looking guy with a curled mustache, so if I tell him he reminds me of Scriabin and he looks him up, then he will understand that he looks lively and outgoing. Albeit, this is a James Patterson tier character-description.

>>22736622
One evidence is philology, the other evidence is that nature doesn't produce intermediate forms. If the Levantines are tanned and caucasoid, these characteristics arose from the mixing of blacks with whites.

He's not claiming the Irish are all Jews who also founded Troy and Rome. He's just saying some are Jews and found Rome. He's still wrong, because he splits Goidelic languages from Vedic Sanskrit, but he's not wrong in a way that you're accusing him of doing. He hasn't read those books.

Im sure Scriabin would have rather been called handsome and endearing a million different ways than be called silly in any way. But at this point I can tell you are just latched on to this idea you have and aren't actually looking for advice outside of "how do I insult this guy without him knowing." Its my fault for expecting anything less from some fag posting dating advice on /lit/.

Finns migrated back from America during the last ice age.

Just last week I lost three good friends due to a series of complete miscommunications. The sister of one of the friends is terribly lonely. She works as a model in Bruxelles. Due to her beauty she developed a particular way of interacting with others, especially men. After a string of bad relationships and a total lack of friendships she developed trust issues, which were far more intense than I realized at the time. I pitied her, so I made attempts to invite her to social gatherings: coffee, clubbing, really any kind of environment where she could make a connection with others. For the past three months I messaged her twice or thrice each week. She would come to many of these events and I would talk over her love life and try to give her some advice when and where I though appropriate. Several times I walked her home, especially when she was completely drunk, to make sure she got to bed safe.

Then last week I was sat down by my friends during a movie night, it was a kind of intervention. They said that the messages were completely inappropriate and that I was making the sister feel very comfortable. I explained that I didn’t realize I was making her feel this way and would stop immediately. Shortly after I was blocked by three friends of mine, whom I have known for over four years. I wrote out letters to each of them explaining the situation while asking for forgiveness and asked for an opportunity to have a coffee and talk it over. Only today I’ve heard from a friend of a friend that they won’t even open the letters.

>>22736515

they say that God man man in his image—man's nature is twisted and vile: it is also his nature to know this truth. i can only imagine God must despise his own nature as much as his image does. it seems then, to me, that we were created to torture ourselves—tools for God to suffer via our suffering.

now, you say something like this:
>i mean it's not a bad thing; you've got a kinda <insert name of well-known person with comparable traits> vibe about you.
this scenario is so contrived that i would not feel confident trying it myself. my advice is to simply not give this compliment until you are either close enough with him to feel comfortable acting kinda gay (in a joking way) or when you're drunk and feeling charismatic. either way good luck hopefully you succeed in banging your coworker or whatever i don't remember your post anymore

Well now you're just lying on the internet

>>22737015
I already found my solution

Yeah. Yeah baby. I can feel the tide turning, once again.

Going from occasional alcohol blowout to daily drinking to day drinking is the death spiral. You can be a drunkard for years and survive but once you make that subtle transition it has you forever.

I guess I'm not Catholic anymore, and I really want to have sex, which is what they warned me about, that I'm just irrational, emotional, lustful and selfish and denying Christ.
I was raised very deliberately Catholic, and my father is a very smart man. I was raised on his fringe theories connecting math, physics and theology, I also read/watched the standard Catholic apologetics from a young age (Chesterton, Robert Barron, CS Lewis, EWTN etc)
But then I read Kierkegaard, and when he talks about the leap of faith, how there's no purely rational defense of Christianity, that you just have to take the leap and choose faith on barely any criteria. I just began wondering why I would do that?
Couldn't muslim or another denomination of Christianity ask me to do the same thing? Show me all they have that's a rational defense and then say "well now it's rather mysterious, you just have to trust."
I have zero interest in joining any other denomination or religion for that reason. And then I began looking at Catholicism from an outsiders perspective, if it wasn't a completely implicit part of my childhood to young adulthood, what would I think of it?
I don't know, it just seem to be necessarily true. One can easily imagine a world, complete with a spiritual aspect, wherein Catholicism is just not true. What if that's the case? I'm beginning to think it is.
I wonder how this all seems to someone who was never really consciously religious and practising, probably just silly.

>you can't arrive at it independently
yes you can, in fact even go beyond and see through its mythology to its pure rational essence which is the same as the essence of all other true religions regardless of their particular culturally contingent garbs. The truth itself is rational-- Christianity is just one mythology-- one massive parable-- to aid weak minds that cannot rationally comprehend it.

Krishna is not like Christ. Buddha is not like Christ. Whatever fake pagan nonsense you have in mind is not like Christ

>>22737315
actually, yes-- yes they are in fact.

I got a feeling

I laugh more at the retards on here than in any other activity in my life.

There is just no book that explains the crisis of the 21st century. None. The closest that I've read is Why Liberalism Failed by Patrick Deneen but it's still a limited overview because it's written by a conservative with inherent sympathies to liberalism. There is no overarching book describing the broad issues of the world today and why they exist. They all seem to argue from spectrums within these tensions instead of assessing the nature of these tensions. And I just do not understand why no one has written this book yet. There's no modern equivalent to Nietzsche or Marx or Spengler or Adorno or any of these types of people. It's all just pundits, political scientists and grifters.

I don't really want to drink anymore but I am afraid to stop. I probably wouldn't die but it would definitely hurt. If I could just go to the ER and get some Librium it would be ok, but I don't know if they'll let me have it if I'm not actively exhibiting withdrawal symptoms. And I'm not going to intentionally stop to induce withdrawal

>>22737335
That's because the 21 Century was explained in the 19th Century, just like the 19th Century was explained in the 18th Century. Current writers aren't explaining our Century, but the 22nd and the 23rd Centuries already.

>>22737285
Christ is not the only son of God cited in the Bible, there were many.

>>22737278
I wish. I asked my last gf to choke me once and she cried when my face went red.

>>22737307
Oh boy here we go with The Zeitgeist leftovers

>>22737341
Incredibly unconvinced by what you're saying. So then what are the books that describe the 22nd and 23rd centuries? Who are the great intellectuals? I have not seen any.

NAME SOMEBODY DEAD

>>22737315
If anything Socrates is more like Christ than those poo peoples figures.

>>22737348
Platon
Aristoteles
Heracles

Your mom

What do you think people should do when they feel down about their life and have little hope?

>>22737347
It's more complex than that.
For example when Nietzsche writes about the Last Man it could very well apply to people of today even though he said that the Last Man lives far in the future.
When Marx wrote about the class struggle and the following dictatorship of the proletariat it might also as well applied to the current age. When Gobineau wrote about the final hybrid, 1/3 white, 1/3 black, 1/3 Mexican, who he puts into the year 8000 AD, it might also as well apply to the current era.
And all the other sage writers who predicted the final fall of Faustian culture, like Spengler.
See, it was all written in the books of the 19th Century already, the only thing wrong were the dates.

>>22737365
I see your point about the 19th century writers but you still didn't answer my question. It seems to me that because we still consult writers from the past few centuries to describe things happening today it means that we currently have no vision of the future or structural innovations which would actually prove someone like Fukuyama correct.

Sex is honestly very boring often times. I'm sort of sick of giving women the attention they want, anyway. Our eyes are half their weapons and it's just a ruse to lock us into an already busy life, out of our weak need for companionship and lust. The easiest way to live the freest life is to not lock yourself in, no? Is marriage not just a construct invented by religions, and hasn't existed for as long as it hasn't? I'm sort of happy on my own rn and don't want it to meddle out over time as I age, even though I know I will get older and uglier. Many men are happier with their wives, sure, but so many get divorced or just aren't. I was a mailman for awhile and the amount of child support letters I delivered got to be incredibly depressing. I guess I just don't get it.

The year is 2017. Me and my buddies are drinking kraken in my homeboys fucked up Honda in the baseball field parking lot at 3 AM. We are listening to blonde by Frank Ocean. My buddy is leaning out the door and puking and we're all having a good laugh about it. Nothing bad has really happened to me at this point in my life, or maybe it did but I didn't register it. Things didn't get to me back then. I was too busy drinking bad liquor in parking lots with my best friends to ever be sad. My other buddy has just told me an absolutely disgusting anecdote about his sex life, and I think it's the funniest thing I've ever heard

>>22736414
Okay this picture is funny but I hope it's not real. Hegelianism is fundamentally Marxist and Gnostic? How the fuck is it Marxist if it predates Marx? And Gnostic? What?

>>22737373
Well, technically Fukuyama is correct, about the end of history, the end of the history of the West, and it's slow fall into decadence, or may I say, it's fall into decadence in Goliath steps.

Thinking about Laura Palmer.

*Sobbing*
Laura Palmer?

I want money to buy books, and yarn and to be able to afford visa fees and plane tickets and relatively rundown trips to shitholes that are only luxirious only in the that they are not my shithole. I wanted money so that I wouldnt worry about money. About getting the italian cheese from the grocery store, or a higher gamme liner. I wanted money to splurge on clothes and food in gentrified spots.

I think different people are born with a different penchant to greed, and that that disposition is innate but could be nourished by subsequent circumstance but not curbed. A greedy human born to wealth will never be assuaged by their own assets, and the one varying parameter is that they were already born in stretch beyond the finish line so their longings will be juvenile and commonplace. I say so because the pursuit of money is considered a serious quest no matter the protestations of anyone who wants to pretend we don t actualize the moment we generate enough income to engage in a transaction.

hold me now

>>22735490
Someone make a new thread

>>22737474
I would anon and I wouldn't even feel gay about it

I'm so excited to be able to look at porn next month.

>>22737474
wish I could

>>22735586
Yes, a close friend. Maybe be more specific in your questions, it's a tough subject to talk about. I don't think my opinion changed on them post death but I had known they had been planning it for a while and we talked about it and I helped them write their suicide note so it wasn't really a surprise.

>>22737533
>them
>their
You've helped more than one person commit suicide? Fucking monster.

I enjoy reading, but whenever I'm reading fiction I have a little voice in the back of my mind telling me that I should be doing something productive, and not wasting my time on such a low value activity. Is this healthy? How can I fix this?

Whenever I get drunk I literally start going AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I shoukd stop drinking so much

>>22737544
Reading is productive. That voice is an asshole trying to render your work pointless

>>22737540
I didn't want to reveal it was a girl.

Funny how?

>>22737533
what led you to assist with the note? most blame themselves for not seeing the signs before its too late. i don't want to presume anything but it kinda sounds like you were indifferent to the situation

>>22736602
It's about Barbie (the beautiful WASP) stepping down as the eternal feminine ideal and becoming just another woman in a multiracial future. A mortal woman who will die.
It's supposed to groom white women to willingly embrace white genocide as if it were "empowerment".

>>22737613
I don't think "my note is shit" would have been any real deterrent from them doing it. They were set on it at this point and while I wouldn't say I had 'given up', I had accepted their decision. I felt it was better to help them put their family at peace somewhat than for them to leave without ever getting across what they feel to their loved ones. Somewhat I felt like it made them more real and their life more meaningful. I don't know, In the moment i didn't really consider it beyond "they are my friend so I will help them when they ask for help, they are going to do it either way", she already had enough people constantly not accepting her decisions in their life. Yeah, somewhat indifferent but I would frame it as accepting, I had tried, I had been in a similar boat 10 years ago, I know of their suffering and while I do think it can and does get better and I told them this, I still don't know if I would have regretted doing it (I know that's logistically not possible lol). There is a lot I can blame myself for but I think I acted honestly and don't have real regrets. Getting over grief is not easy but ultimately you do simply because you have to. First you have to learn that it's not really honoring your lost friend to punish yourself and dwell in grief, it's narcissistic ego stroking. Anyway, I'll quit the blog.

>>22737640
I didn't really notice any racial element to the movie. I think you're interpretation is a stretch.
I dislike the film but for different reasons

>>22737651
i read you wrong. you sound like a good friend. i hope your friend is in a better place

>>22737609
Nta but I've undergone periods of extreme isolation and had a similar experience. Isolation fucks with your mind.
The details are hard to explain if you haven't experienced it.
I am fairly certain i would unintentionally slur my words by talking very slow. Or the opposite talking too fast. Like I'd blend two words together
You also lose your sense of nuance in terms of tone.
For example speaking in a tone that sounds loud abrasive when to youself it sounds normal

>>22735527
4chan and the internet are evil. Your case is beyond your control so you should restrict your free will which made ypur life this way. Retaliate against electronics you own and then live without them. You'll get used to it after a while.
