I finally fucking understood why I have such a big problem reading English books. It's because I exclusively browse English sites on the internet, and because of the massive amount of information condensed in one place, my brain learned to just skim past all that info without trying to understand any of it. It's not an attention span problem. I could read French just fine despite not having read any books in forever.
Just to give you an idea, it took me a whole week to get through The Road, but only two weeks for Notre-Dame de Paris despite the latter being over 4 times longer, having an archaic vocabulary, and some long non-plot related sections.

I don't know what to do with this summer.
I think I'm gonna have conflict with my roommate. We never really worked out who does what. It's kind of a weird arrangement. He needs to get a job. Man I can't think. I've been mostly staying in bed for two days. I want to go see my family. I don't really know what to make of the friends I have now. I'm very far from being comfortable with life, which is kind of OK in a way, it comes and goes. I think there are systems in your head that are always evolving in some direction, and the ups and downs are a part of the evolution. Or maybe in your heart. I think my heart is mostly sealed. I feel like there is a kind of spirituality for me that is consistently growing surer, but much of that is quite divorced from life. I feel quite mechanical when interacting with real life, and being, as the bard put it, "hiding in my room, safe within my womb" doesn't really do much good I don't think. I don't know, things have had a way of coming together. As I said, it's an evolution. But for now, I'm getting a little bit stir-crazy having basically stayed inside for two days. I did go for a walk today but it started raining pretty heavily, so I cut it short. Now my plan is to go to bed in an hour. I imagine I will spend it on the internet. I could go for another walk, the rain stopped. That's probably the best thing I can do. It can happen that you kind of teach yourself helplessness. But with how my head has been- it's just, like, you have to make some kind of choice. I thought it would be best to hide within my room. I gotta get out tomorrow though.

Yeah there are good things happening.

They built this little shopping area near my living quarters, with high end shops and bars, I am impoverished, but I've taken to coming here once a week or so, ordering a drink, reading and walking around. What I've found is thay alcohol, sunlight and being around people is extremely good for one's health and disposition, even if you don't interact with anyone directly. I feel better every time I do it, and less misanthropic. The experience has convinced me that misanthropy boils down to projected self hatred. I enjoy watching people mill about, I smile when I see them.

I also am considering taking up alcoholism. Seems like a power move.

After years of trying to come with an answer for what I want, I've come up with absolutely fucking nothing. I have read on many different philosophies trying to find something that would fit me but every single philosophical idea I've put my mind across is just very flawed in one way or another. The closest I thought I arrived at the truth was when I was reading upon nondualism, with traditions like Advaita Vedanta, Taoism and Zen. Unfortunately, they did not seem to fit me at all. I guess the thing that attracted me the most was the idea of everything being Brahman, Tao, Buddha or whatever you want to call it. But what displeased me was the fact that they still tried to enforce certain ethics on you that you must follow. Don't get me wrong, I think these ethics are still important in their own right, but for me, I just hate being told what to do. Like I want to love everything I want, do whatever the fuck I want, care for whatever I want to care about and believe whatever I wanna believe in. A lot of people call that hedonism but I don't think I can call myself a hedonist either since I can't prioritize pleasure all the time for certain reasons. I am not agnostic, nor an atheist, nor religious, nor deist etc. Like I think that these things co-exist in a very strange manner. Like there's Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Zeus or whatever if you believe in them personally, or that you'll be sent to Hyperborea or Agartha in the afterlife if you so desire. Honestly, I don't know what the fuck can I call myself at this point. What even am I anymore?

One time I was hanging out with a buddy at his house and he invited two mutual female acquaintances over.

I have a fantasy where I fuck a female booktuber so good and take her to the edge of orgasm, keeping her there for several minutes, eyes rolled to the back of her head, and say I will only let her come if she denounces books and declares all reading to be nonsense and a waste of time, and in her unthinking ecstasy she does this, whereupon I give her the release she craves. She wakes up and I am gone. There is a note on the table:
>Passion échangée contre plaisir
Over the next few days she begins to feel like Roquentin in Nausea. The crochet sweater looks wrong, etc. She weighs the black penguin classic against the summer evening.

After an unusually long absence, she posts a video to her channel: “Taking some time off.” In bed that night she’s going through comments, when her heart stops. There, among the messages
>Passion échangée contre plaisir

She clicks on the profile. Messages me. “Who are you?” “Why do I feel this way?” “What did you do to me?” “Please, help me!!”

There's a guy I've been talking to daily from morning to night for the last 5 full years. We have the same taste in music, games, anime, girls, mostly the same political and social views, the same race, a history of loose cooperation between our countries. I am currently learning his language and dialect, for reasons unrelated to our relationship, and when I get good enough I plan to actively talk to him in it and to have him help me know his dialect better. Saying the exact same thing at the exact same time is something that happens to us almost everyday, and is what inspired me to make this post. We're also almost the same age.

Been thinking of killing myself again. Loneliness is killing me. I went home to visit my family and just being around other people in a casual way, where I could pop in on my sister or my dad or someone and start talking about how my day went and they would actually listen, felt so warm. I never realized how warm it was until I moved out and started living by myself. Working my shitty McJob I can't quit because I have no experience or certifications in anything else. Alone in towns and cities that other people somehow manage to find each other in. My empty apartment where no human warmth exists to stave off the cold even though the AC is broken in the summertime. I'm about to move overseas in a week or so but rather than being excited I'm filled with dread and anxiety. Whatever could go wrong with the move has gone wrong and I have no one to turn to for comfort or simply for an extra helping hand. At night the anxieties of the present and the regrets of the past swirl together as I lie awake. In the daytime I rarely go out when I'm not at work. I have some irrational anxiety in public and nothing will dislodge it. Seems like I can't live with myself and I can't let anyone into my life either. The things I care about are things almost no one else cares about and though I'm sure it's possible to build a relationship with someone despite such differences the manner in which one would go about such a thing is a mystery to me. Had relationships of a sort in the past, coworkers, peers from work, maybe friends by some definition, but nothing lasts. The music stops. Eventually they realize I'm not who they thought I was. I feel a lot of guilt over these failed relationships, like I was burdening these people and they didn't realize it until the end. The part of me that gets lonely and the part of me that feels this guilt are opposed but remain present in me, ensuring that no matter if I am alone or with others I feel pain.
Frequently I fantasize about running away from people. Can't handle them, can't handle being around them, can't handle being one myself. I could get in my car and drive north and go far into the Canadian wilderness. And there I could starve to death in the cold. Part of me believes I would shed my human form, which I was never meant to have in the first place, and become a bird or a tree or a boulder. Something simpler, more my speed. The empty landscapes and barren wilderness of the far north and south are beautiful to me and I irrationally believe I could find rest there, alone beyond the reach of civilization and society.
I've been attracted to Buddhism and Advaita at times because they promise the annihilation of the self, but they don't mean it in the way I desire it. I am a Christian, but in a warped way. I can't seem to believe that I deserve salvation even though no one really deserves it anyway. Outer darkness seems more fitting a place for me. As long as I'm there alone, anyway.

I rather dislike engineers; especially so since I am studying to be one myself. A race of artless, dull, and materialistic people with no proclivities towards any of the finer, more intellectual pursuits in life. This is neglecting to mention the fact that they are hopelessly lost in any social situation all the while having a massive ego, and the coup-de-grace of the matter is that hygiene is a mere suggestion to these people.

it's over, like, for real this time. i caved. i surrendered. call me french now, because i admit defeat. yeah, i just bought it off amazon now out of pure convenience instead of trying to go the long way around, i'm not even ashamed to say it anymore. jeff bezos won.

$400, gone, just like that now. all because someone brought a switch to the office and we had a little game night apparently you know, we played smash brothers. i played smash brothers once, on a much older console, i kinda remembered how it worked. oh yeah, sure, i can participate. i get absolutely btfo. no, no, this won't do! and then there's going to be more office parties like this? no, no, i gotta get my game up. i gotta get good, i gotta practice.

so i thought, hey, i have a pretty strong computer, i can emulate a switch, find a copy of smash brothers, and just practice with the controller i use for pc games sometimes. NOPE. turns out nintendo cracked down on yuzu, the switch emulator i was already familiar with and i know runs on my machine (and don't give me the ryujinx bull crap). shoot what do i do

spent time hunting for yuzu.exe. well turns out i had an older copy of yuzu in a diff computer, sweet, i can just use that. okay, progress. now to find the switch game file for smash brothers. uh oh, turns out the crackdown affected rom sites, none had a copy. okay, time for torrents. fitgirl.

ah, >fitgirl. i've heard things about >fitgirl repacks before, but never used one before. okay, this will be the right. spent time waiting for the torrent, spent time launching it. huh okay, fitgirl repacks have yuzu baked in. kinda cool, okay, but i didn't need to hunt for my earlier yuzu. waiting a while for it to load... and it turns out it loads openGL by default instead of vulcan which loads instantly. ugh.

reloaded. game is... functional? let's do a test battle. LAGGY FPS. literally unplayable. cannot practice with this. OH and i STILL have to unlock the main character i have to practice? good lord. i'm so done. c'est fini. a-m-a-z-o-n dot com, overnight mail -nintendo switch oled smash brothers pack-. sigh, whatever man. you win today, jeff bezos. but i will win the office soon enough when i come back and start smashin instead of getting smashed. i hate video games so much

I never feel like myself. I always have a sense that my own words are contrived. I am saying this or that to produce a certain kind of reaction. It never comes naturally from within myself.
Others drift through life so easily, every word carries this sense of easy natural confidence: I belong here, I have a right to exist, and my words are fact.
I wish I knew what that's like. Everywhere I feel ridiculous and out of place. Everywhere and everyone seems to be always signaling to me the opposite: "you don't belong here, you look ridiculous, we can tell you don't belong we can tell you are not one of us and you will never be". What hurts me more is the assumption that I am too stupid to pick up these small smirking glances. Every glance hits me like a bullet as I register each and every glance instantly. How does an average person walk through a grocery store and tune out the fact that hundreds of eyeballs are staring you down?

Reincarnation, with cycles going in to hell-worlds and heavens but with the heaven-world not being the goal, does not make sense. Well, to be honest, I am operating on an assumption that existence is meaningful, which a karmatic order seems to imply to me. That might be some kind of an anthropomorphism of the Absolute, but the thing is the Absolute cause me to be this way, to be something that thinks in this manner. Nothing which is not absolute caused this all to be, so whatever is causing it to be what it is is absolute, since it exists at all. This could be where buddhists take a different kind of turn, and refuse this step of logic, while they do recognize an order of things which is immutable. I am operating on the assumption that reality is what it is for a reason, so that from a buddhist point of view, the goal of existence would be the end of suffering. A buddhist should, I think, agree with the logic of this, seeing as how from their perspective that is effectively the only thing there is to do: to try to make suffering cease. That is the universal of universals, if you will, the only possible real aim. This fits with abrahamic religion, where peace is knowing God, the Absolute, without which nothing can be achieved. What I came to say was this: it seems to me that if reality is meaningful, which it seems to be since there is something particularly meaningful to do with it (try to make suffering end), and if reality is what it is by design (here the buddhists might reject this language, but they accept all the effects of this claimed Cause) then cyclical rebirths *where you don't remember what happened in previous lives* seems pointless. The purpose of suffering is to know God. So what would be the purpose of spending 10.000 years in a hell-world only to be reborn a human again and remember nothing? It doesn't make any sense. So my conclusion is, at this time (and my conclusions have a way of changing) that the karmic order is linear, not circular. This is your one chance to be human. My argument is that there hasn't been any learning carried down from previous existences except possibly the pre-knowledge of Gods Oneness, the otherness and comfort of that which imposes the order. Said the Buddha:

“There is, monks, an unborn, unbecome, unmade, unconditioned. If, monks there were not that unborn, unbecome, unmade, unconditioned, you could not know an escape here from the born, become, made, and conditioned. But because there is an unborn, unbecome, unmade, unconditioned, therefore you do know an escape from the born, become, made, and conditioned.”

As society streamlines itself so you never have to interact with another person to get all your goods, services, or even when you spend your leisure time, it is absurd the death grip they are keeping on offices and workspaces.
Work is often the only time a person is ever forced to acknowledge or converse with another person IRL.
Without a social fabric to participate in, the decrease in marriages and starting families, work becomes a hard sell for anything other than raw survival.
Even leisure seems to be eroding, cinema is dead, games are beginning to slump, literature is largely as facade for what could only be termed the Tree-to-Landfill pipeline.

I think we are ripe for a underground Rave culture renaissance. Provided you could even get people out of their houses and not get shutdown immediately. Just some raw chemical fueled group catharsis set to cheaply produced beats without the pretence of meaning anything beyond the dawn. I think that is all we could probably manage right now.

Although, to be honest, predicting any kind of cultural shift that involves IRL participation feels immensely naive at this point. More like wishful thinking that something could solidify amongst all the vapor.

I'm normally a very anxious person, even the most menial of task, if it requires me to leave the house, will cause the smallest bit of anxiety in me, but I'm starting something kinda big tomorrow (for me at least) and I'm really not feeling anxious at all. Sure, I'm getting a few little spikes here and there, but mostly I'm chill for some reason. I've been trying to use logic to kill my anxiety for a little bit, whenever I start to feel anxious about something, I run down the tree of "what's the worst that could happen?" in my head and that usually really helps because to be honest, nothing that bad can come from the shit that I do.

But then she was super seething a out her other friend, also 22 dating a 30 year old guy and making it out like she's being manipulated, groomed or whatever

What the heck? I didn't even think much of it originally desu.

One trick is to think of your future self as a person that exists and has loved ones also, some of which you haven't met yet. If you kill yourself now you will be denying those people the joy of getting to love you, and yourself the joy of getting to love them. If you are unhappy with your current situation you should change it, but not in a way that deletes your potential to bring joy into the world (and consequently into yourself). Another trick is to realize that you are at a point where you are ready to head into the ultimate unknown, death, so why wouldn't you try something less radical, like signing up for school, complete 180ing your career path, or attempting primitive living? There are a million different ways you can live your life and all of them have more reliable information about their consequences than any account about what being dead is like, making them all way easier transitions than suicide, not to mention possibly more rewarding and, like I said before, they don't delete your potential.

It's a good starting point but not the ironclad rule it used to be. If you're in your 30s and dating someone who is still in undergrad, knowing nothing else about the relationship, yeah it comes across as a bit weird. Different "life stages" and all that. If it's an older man and a younger woman, I have a hard time not seeing it as a case of arrested development. But also you should do what you want.

Being this desperate that one would chose to engange in a parasocial relationship with a bot that is spitting almagation of diffreant responses found all across the internet than chose to be alone.
I know what's it like, I haven't got a proper relationship with anyone for decades now; not even parents; and I still would chose to die alone than to die talking to a lie that those bots are.

It's hard to be secular in some of those just from a cultural perspective. There's things like celebrating saint's days instead of birthdays or what days you expect sweets or should expect nobody to sell you meat in some of those, but Catholicism takes on local flavours anyways.

Are you contemplating it?
I'm 'lucky' I'm a mutt myself (If I had to guess 70% Euro, 30% Amerindian) so I had an out of marrying a White woman.
A plus is that a non-white woman didn't get put on a pedestal her entire life. A White non-fat woman just has no idea of life regular people. A brown on however can empathize with a man more so. not even because she's less attractive, brown men would crawl over glass to fuck a 4/10 White woman so they notice that.

Add to it they are more willing to accept a patriarchal household and want more children there is a definite plus to be had by going with one.

However I don't think it's a smart thing to do if you're 100% White like you are. You're setting your child up to be mixed race and all the struggles than come with that. If you really want that I guess you could go for a Mestizo. Castizo children have less a chip on their shoulder about it.

Yeah I don't live in a Shitwestern country I moved to Eastern Europe and 90% of women are tradwifes or striving to become tradwives (even the ones at university say they are saving themselves for marriage). Of course it's not Really Really so but within the boundaries of what is realistically achievable it's not like casual sex doesn't exist here. It's actually quite widespread. But yeah I guess you get the point.
So no trad wife points for non-white women.
I guess if I take a Slav wife it would still be muttification but they're white aren't they? I guess it would be cultural muttification but not if I convert to Orthodoxism. There's also small protestant minorities here.
The country is 97% white ethnostate but there's these gypsies. Look and smell like jeets, act and behave like n*s but they are a closed community. Some of them seem to be quite rich as well (I guess through stealing and selling fake jewelry kek). Some of their women are quite hot though. I guess I could join their tribe by marrying a hot black-skinned gypsie. Should I do it? Currently weighing the pros and cons. I always wanted a jeet wife guess that's the closest I could get.

Obviously you are biased about it because you are Mestizo/Castizo yourself but are there any downsides to it? Or upsides in that given case?

Of course there have to be a few people but not many relative to the population. It’s sort of like finding a needle in a haystack. We don’t have a graduate school so there aren’t even graduate students. Maybe you’re right though. Maybe I just need to put in more effort to find people. I think part of my problem is that I have a high standard for friends that is unrealistic. This might sound hubristic but I feel like I’m pretty successful and a lot of the people I meet are kind of struggling, which is okay, but it makes it hard to connect and have fun. I did meet a guy that was my age and going back to college after like a decade just kind of NEETing and being a loser, and I respected him for that, but it was a weird dynamic because he was my age but he was still pretty immature. He had no money so we couldn’t do a lot unless I paid for him and talking to him felt like talking to a 20 year old. So it was tough. He was a good guy, but it wasn’t easy to be friends.

Idk. I’m not against interracial marriage, but it’s weird to plan out it like this. You have to have the right person regardless of race. If you go for an Indian because she’s an Indian that can be pretty bad.

I don't know if I'll ever find love again. That kind of fiery thing you have as teenagers. My last relationship (a marriage) was wasted on a woman that was, at her core, extremely manipulative and self-serving. I was walking on eggshells all the time and unfortunately internalized a lot of her warped views. I'm still deprogramming that stuff out of my mind - a lot of it being these insane thoughts about patriarchy, misogyny, etc. that bubble up from modern far left circles. She was entrenched in it, and therefore so was I.

But now on the dating scene women are really materialistic. I try to downplay or hide my wealth because I want a genuine connection but most women are looking for security before love. And I can't shake the feeling it'll just lead to me being used again.

It's a reasonable conclusion.
The only question that seems a problem is: why is everything in this reality structured the way it is? Theists would say it implies Intention. Buddhists, it seems to me anyway, would say nothing on the matter, except they would recognize that it is a fact. What conclusion should be drawn from reality being structured? And what is nibbana? I think the goal of other major religions (like Islam, Hinduism, Taoism) is to be at peace with the way things are, with the order of things. I think that is what taoist "non-being" means. There's no longer any "you" to conflict with the way things are. I think this is the basis for what in sufism is called "baqaa", which means "lasting". First there is opening, which is a moment of enlightenment; then there is, God willing, lasting, remaining with God. A person who remains with God lives a saintly life. A person experiencing an opening probably just looks like they're gone in a dream for a moment. It is my *guess* nibbana and baqaa are the same. It has to do with being free of any attachment whatsoever.

It's strange thinking about a loving God contrasted with an impersonal karma, when what is loving about God has everything to do with what karma is. The idea is framed so differently, in theistic religion as an act of love and in buddhism as a hard fact.

The big problem is: why did the indians believe in reincarnation? It becomes an even bigger problem if you consider that before buddhism, they were theists. What could God possibly mean by sending you to hell for 10k years only to make you forget about it?

One the one hand it's like "well you did the thing so now you're gonna suffer, and once you get out of suffering it's like getting out of prison: you're just dumped on a sidewalk somewhere with nothing" vs "The All Loving God has realized that the best way for you to learn and grow as a person is to go through these struggles.

Logically, the only divider between the two seems to be: does reality being what it is imply a creator? If the question can/should be approached through human logic, I would say undoubtedly the answer is "yes".

The problem with this being that if you have confidence in Buddha, he claimed to have seen his prior lives. Based on his understanding of the afterlife, this reality is strangely horrible, which seems to have been his take.

I want both traditions to be true, but the difference in how they understand the afterlife probably makes that impossible. It is difficult for me to know what to do with that.

There is the further question of: a buddhist might say that everything here is what it is because of karma. For karma and "God" to be meaningfully different, karma has to be defined, and if it were defined it would be a part of reality and not outside it. In a lot of ways the only real difference between theism and buddhism is that theists supplicate to God. I think it would be hard to argue against supplicating to the Absolute. Another signicifant difference is that theism can lead people to believe that they are "Gods chosen", and then they can do all kinds of weird stuff. That's an issue.

this means that it can not function as a Cause, since it is itself subject to terms

>> No.23475821

>>23475810
Another possible difference is that theists can claim divine inspiration. I don't really understand where Buddha explains his teachings to be from. Divine inspiration makes a lot of sense if you consider that God alone is "above" it all, so only God could give you the clean truth about things. Only God would know, and only God could express it with perfection.

I don't know what theories there are of the conditions for the arising of the teaching of the buddha in buddhism. Conspicuous as it is, it seems they think that if the conditions are just right, they themselves will sprout the truth. "Conspicuous" since the question remains why any of this exists as it presumably is.

>> No.23475826

>>23475821
But with this comes the big question: how does a theist know that he has received divine inspiration, that he isn't just a madman? Like with the case of "Gods chosen", you get a lot of madmen.

Why this is a big question is because the teaching itself is necessarily limited in nature, and God, being "above", doesn't really enter into relationships. God is a fact, the Truth. There will be a before and after receiving the teaching, and the teaching itself will be limited in scope. How does the receiving take place, and how is it affirmed to be from God? By miracles? Personally what I've thought for a long time is that there is no reason not to believe it whatsoever, and as a theist by my logic there should be teachings from God, otherwise the moral test of this life is unfair.

More like the fall of rome. A gradual influx of "barbarians" will just change everything. It will be necessary for the reasons I imagine you say what you say, that there aren't enough babies. If you want to know the future of philosophy you should study whatever is going on in Africa, SEA, Latin America and the middle east, where the immigrants will come from. Catholicism and Islam, I guess.

The problem with dadaism is that you can't really argue against it. Buddha would say "AH but have you SEEN the Creator??"

it just leaves this evil vortex in the pit of your stomach. To which the buddhists will say "maybe if you were free from illusions maan!" which is almost a bit like gaslighting I feel. The heart surely loves God, takes solace in Him. Is this illusion? Probably the heart will have to decide.

Endless aimless bullshit, no reason to exist.
Just intoxication every day, it doesnt matter.
I try to do good, but I am stuck aimlessly trying to find a way out.
I feel like I am in the middle of the ocean swimming one direction (lol) but really I might aswell swim in circles like a shark.
Wish there were sharks in these waters, I tried so hard to stay alive do right by others and find my way.
I am still fucking clueless, 10, 15 years of this shit.
I try to get my Bearing strait, but I can barely read the stars. Mesmerizing as they are; I must be on a different planet.

I found a case of rum floating so I crack it open and drowned myself till I passed out.
I washed ashore on a tiny island, it's alright here, I found people and they are nice. Been in a couple fight since but at least we are on a bender together.
As long as I have my case of rum I have all the friends I need.
Rummy rum rum, all the friends indeed.
