/lit/ - Literature

bugs.. easy on the carrots

>>9804285
I read outside in the sun

like this

>>9804298

But then it looks like a pseudo intellectual affectation made doubly pathetic by my ugliness

Yeah I'm just going to go outside oh wait I'm in the middle of fucking nowhere better drive all the way to the bar and sit and drink for the entire day maybe that will attract a girl

>>9804338
hm. seems there's more going on than just how to read outside then.

>>9804285
You don't have to sacrifice sex for reading. What gave you that idea? Even if you did, so what? It's just sex.

>>9804285
"But we must now follow those who advise us, being men, to think of human things, and, being mortal, of mortal things, but must, so far as we can, make ourselves immortal, and strain every nerve to live in accordance with the best thing in us; for even if it be small in bulk, much more does it in power and worth surpass everything."

>>9804285
Stop projecting your personal failures with literature and women on everyone else. Get over it and grow up.

I like to read in my backyard so I can enjoy the warmth of the sun while remaining outside the line of sight of my peers

>>9804285
I read outside, masturbate furiously and fuck whenever I can.

>>9804367
What is that from? Reminds me of Sallust:

>All human beings who want to be superior to the other animals ought to struggle with every resource not to be like cattle passing silently through life. It is natural for the cattle to hang their heads and obey their stomachs, but all our strength is situated in our mind as well as our body: we use the mind more for control, the body for servitude; the one we have in common with the gods, the other with the beasts. And so I think it is more upright to seek glory with our inner resources than with our physical strength and, since life is itself brief, to make the memory of our lives as long as possible. I say this because the glory of wealth and physical beauty is fluid and fragile; but virtue is held brilliant and eternal.

>>9804285
>How do you sit inside reading when it's sunny outside and the Chads are fucking Staceys while your youth is leaving you and you feel pathetic for kidding yourself about literature or studying compensating for anything?

By enjoying the fact that I'm not a dumb frogposter.

What is there to do outside?

Honest question.

>>9804285
/r9k/ is not good for your mental health.

>>9804487
Book X, chapter 7, Nicomachean Ethics

>>9804285
I go out and read there and look at qts from afar and smile at them from time to time.

>>9804285
Classical transitional post of someone moving from /r9k/ to /pol/. You just haven't found your scapegaot yet.

I'm sunburned and my dick is sore.

>>9804518
Hi stacy :) want to look at my bookshelf?

>>9804507
Sweet, looking forward to reaching that in a few months.

Thanks!

>>9804285
Because there's no mosquitoes inside. Also gusts of wind keep flipping my pages over.

I usually sit in my garage, or I'll stand outside once the sun has passed behind it to create shade.

>>9804285
I read outside

As for the rest of the stuff I've made myself socially retarded through porn and the physical, psychological, and isolationist effects of smoking a lot of marijuana over the years

>>9804285
Lol.
I have a Stacey who reads inside with me and we fuck in between.

>>9804285
Reading a lot and having plenty of sex aren't mutually exclusive. If you're concerned about wasting daylight then read in the evening.

>>9804285
Because I'm working on becoming a Wizard, anon.

How do you find friends with a monitored mobile device?

Rly made me thnk

>>9804285

I have regular sex, I read a lot, I have a good amount of friends (I should have more), I'm somewhat attractive, I look extremely young for my age and ensure it stays that way by running and eating right and using retinol, and I still feel pathetic. Going out and cumming in pussy doesn't help that much

>>9804715
This is the only thing that matters, anon. A chad will be a gladly turn himself into a slave while we will transcend into something quite powerful.

>>9804285
Each only does as he can. Observe the chad, his gainsome features instill gregarity from birth, he attracts and is attracted -- this is nature. Now, you do not sit in the sun alongside his lot, why? All things have their causes. Were you to examine your own abilities and history you would find patently clear how you came to A from B and vice versa. Being that you're on 4chan it is likely that you are not attractive, neither charming, nor interesting, not conditioned to be social, and generally an indolent pale pustule of a person. You are where you belong, and thus, of course, cannot be anywhere else.

>>9804498
Soak up all that tasty vitamin d bruh

This dude is a fixture here and I assure you he also posts on /r9k/

>>9804285
Be honest anon, do you even actually want to fuck a Stacey?

Because i dont get matches on tinder and its raining here since last year

>>9805208
>Soak up all that tasty vitamin d bruh
I take a pill for that.

>>9805116
>tfw no pale pustule person qt to breed genetically doomed children with

>>9804285
Just take your book to a quiet park and get some exercise and reading in at the same time. Can't help with the fucking girls part since i've given up on females ever being attracted to me and don't even try.

>>9805116
But why though? Why have people like this not been eradicated from the gene pool?

>>9805227
>paying for what you can get free
I mean, it's your money.

>How do you sit inside reading when it's sunny outside and the Chads are fucking Staceys while your youth is leaving you and you feel pathetic for kidding yourself about literature or studying compensating for anything?

because i'm too ugly to have sex or a romantic relationship.

but even if i could, i would still read sometimes. i mean people aren't literally fucking 24/7, they have time to do other things.

but in principle you are correct. i know that literature, intellectual pursuits are just a shallow consolation. i would rather be illiterate if it meant i could have sex/relationships with girls i'm attracted to.

>>9805243
Some degree of randomness is necessary in offspring, thus some failures are inevitable but this also allows better adaptability against the future. If our progeny were precisely like us it would not permit mutability necessary to ensure prolonged survival. They are a sort of genetically collateral damage if you will, they must exist. There is also a cautionary worth to such lives, a constant example of who not to be across society.

>>9804285
There's always tomorrow, until there isn't. At which point, all problems solved.

>>9805243
a couple reasons. for one, genetics aren't all clear cut. it's possible for two tall people to have a short offspring, for example. the offspring is more *likely* to be tall, but an individual offspring may be short. similarly, it's possible for genetically fit people to have a genetically unfit offspring -- neither of my parents are that ugly, but i am. genetic variation.

plus, sometimes two very ugly people get together and have children. this was more likely to happen in the past -- these days, even ugly women can get pumped and dumped by chad a couple times in their lives, so they are less likely to settle down with a similarly ugly man. it would be better for all involved if they simply refused to reproduce, but not all people behave responsibly.

if you need to work for something it's not free

Go have sex then stupid. Jeez. We live in the age of empty promises and free casual sex at every corner.

How to have sex you ask? Lie.
"Of course babe, this is more than just a hookup"

Fuck her, she's doing the same to you and several other men.

Then go home and read while your dick sleeps.
When it's hungry again, go on the hunt.

>>9805329
>it's easy I just don't want to that's why I don't

The greatest secret you'll ever learn about women is they're all meh. Every model, pornstar, celebrity, and generally gorgeous girl you see walking around is just a skinnyfat ordinary bitch underneath, always with a handful of suboptimal traits like wonky hips or some misshapen shit somewhere. There are one or two in a hundred thousand who have really really lucky genetics and like picture-perfect pornstar bodies without any wonky shit, but even they are just boring.

Once you fuck a truly beautiful woman and have that moment of "..that's it?", it's a massive deprogramming experience. You realise that you've been chasing after the status and associations of it, the assumptions you have about it based on your desires, without ever realising what it really is: mediocre.

If young men had the opportunity to fuck a thousand gorgeous women of their choosing during their 16th year of life, and then after that they had to go back to being schlubs and trying to get laid the old-fashioned way, 90% of men would become semi-asexual, hold out for a high quality woman in the personality and values department, and only have minimal standards for beauty (5-6/10 and nonfat, max). Because they'd realise it's really just not that big a deal.

I've had fuckloads of sex, both meaningful and meaningless, with all sorts of attractive women. Sexwise, I'd rather have a really fun kinky 5 or 6/10 who is really engaged, good chemistry, really grabs you by the dick and hits all the right notes in terms of your fetishes and preferences, than a dozen 10/10s. There's just nothing like finally fucking a 10/10, with a body so perfect it seems like you should care more about it than you actually do, and then losing interest ten minutes into it because she's a dead fish and they all look like the same average-ass Fatfolds McGillicuddy when they're naked anyway.

So much of beautiful women is the stage effect of makeup and clothing. ESPECIALLY if you're looking at pictures of them. Pictures are like meta-makeup, Instagram shit lets girls tweak themselves until it's an ideal angle that hides all blemishes and creases etc., before even adding filters or fucking with the lighting.

The really awesome womanizing only comes after you go through this k-hole of realizing they're shit. Womanizing is so much more fun when you see everything between a 4 and a 10 as fuckable and can just burn through them looking for particularly fun ones. You're no longer secretly pining after the hotties you're statistically unlikely to get. And with this strategy, you'll get MORE hotties because you'll be subconsciously caring less, which is attractive (because it's confusing) to them.

>>9804285

My youth has already left me. All I have is literature. Funnily enough I happen to like it still.

>>9805208
>Be honest anon, do you even actually want to fuck a Stacey?
This too. You might want to lay a hot bimbo one or twice for the novelty and experience of it but if you made your life all about them like other guys do you'd feel intellectually stultified and bored having to actually talk to them regularly. They may be hot but they have the personalities of coma patients.

Because I'm 2 years away from being a wizard and I haven't cared for years.

I'm so tired of you angsty summerfags shitting up this board, can't wait til you go back to your daycare.

>>9804368
Not op but go fuck yourself, you degenerate normie

>>9805083
Because you're a pretentious faggot

>>9806175
This

>>9806202
This guy gets it. It's so much better to have a girl that's genuinely into you than one that thinks she's better than you. Especially since many beautiful girls are used to having sex done to them and are not interesting in bed.

>>9806347

>>9805243
We're about to be

Nobody in this place will breed

>>9804487
and yet,

you and I are both sitting on 4chan.

>>9806441

Is that supposed to be me? Because I've been working out since I was 12 and am 170 lbs of pure muscle lol.

I like how people make staying inside sound depressing. Must not live in a place where outside is a hellscape. I'd stay inside all summer if I could rather than melt and sweat.

Simulation and dissumalation. Did Bacon really write Midsummer Nights dream? I would tear you a new one bitch. *lights up another ciggerette

>You realise that you've been chasing after the status and associations of it

What if I want good genes for my children so that they'll have it as good as the beautiful people?

>>9806202
Some people can't have such standards such as wanting a 6/10 girl. I think the majority of men, myself included, will be happy to be even with a 4/10. I got lucky once and had a 3 year relationship with a 7/10, but only had an obese, boring 3/10 after her and even she left me after 2 weeks. It's tough.

>>9807602

At a certain point you just have to give up and realize that being the victim of natural selection isn't that bad when viewed from the perspective of humanity as a whole. At least the death of our genes will lead to less suffering in the world.

Rage and resentment are too costly. Acceptance lets you focus on the achievable things that make you happy

>>9809286
Middling rage, yes. Righteous all consuming fury, no. The truest certainty of failure is capitulation.

>>9809234
You sound like a friend of mine, but he actually got girlfriend at 26 so, you aren't doomed anon.

>>9809234
>>developed an overbite after my wisdom teeth came in and now it looks like I have a receding chin
Cant you get that fixed?

>>9809296
Rage begets a more intense rage. It's how you get people like Elliot Rodgers. Acceptance doesn't preclude self-improvement, it just detaches your happiness from circumstances that you can't control.

>>9809303
You sort of need money for that

I don't really want a girlfriend or kids.

>>9809319
You want to die alone?

>>9806400

I'm pretty far from pretentious much like you are pretty far from losing your virginity

>>9809341

>>9809410
Blood relations isn't the only way to have people in your life.

>>9804285
I read in bed with my girlfriend

>>9809447
It's the only way to have young people who are capable of caring for you no matter what. Friends often die before you, or are often too demented to mourn your death.

>>9809447

Blood relations are much more likely to want to stay in your life. If not your kids, then your grandkids. It's just that most grandparents seem to be fucking morons and don't try at all to see their grandchildren until they're a year or two from death's door (e.g. my grandparents)

>>9809458
Dying is scary. Give your grandparents the attention they want.

>>9804285
There's a really good poem by Atanas Dalchev that very much sums up what you said, but I never ever took it as a bad thing per se.

If you can't into Bulgarian, here's the official German version
Die Bücher
Übersetztung von Uwe Grüning

Dies Buch liegt immer vor mir aufgeschlagen –
Tag kommt und Dunkel fällt.
Ich bin allein: nicht kenne ich die Menschen,
nicht kenne ich die Welt.

Zugvögel nahn und fliehen wiederum.
Ein Tag bricht an, und einer will entgleiten.
Ich blättre müde meine Tage um
wie diese Seiten.

Durch Jahre lese ich vom fremden Leben
der Fremden, was in Büchern steht;
und meines, keinem hingegeben –
nutzlos und leer – vergeht.

O Liebe, unerkannt und ungeboren
in mir. Ein Dunkel fällt.
Der Bücher wegen habe ich verloren
mein Leben und die Welt.

My attempt at English version- it's not bad, but definitely not good either-
The Books

Before me the book lays open, clear,
N' by day n' night; Ever alone,
Nor with the people familiar,
Neither the world have I known.

The birds flock by and fly away.
While days arise and days set,
My days like the pages do I
Slowly leaf through exhausted

Years gone of foreign lives to read,
Lives of strangers, never thine.
And yours, to nobody of need,
Dull and barren to go by.

To me you could not ever come
Oh, invocation of love.
Because of books what's come undone:
My life and the world thereof.

A Russian grill tried her best, too-
Книгa.

Пepeдo мнoю книгa oткpытoй лeжит
И нoчью, и днeм, a я вce тaк жe oдин,
Бeз людeй, c кoтopыми я нeзнaкoм,
И миpa,кoтopый тaк нeлюбим.

Cтaи птиц пpилeтaют и yлeтaют пpoчь,
Кaк кaждый нoвый дeнь cмeняeт тeмнyю нoчь.
Moи жe дни cлoвнo cтpaницы книг,
Oт их нecпeшнoгo пepeлиcтывaния я пoчти пoгиб.

Пpoшли гoды чyжих жизнeй, o кoтopых читaю,
Жизни нeзнaкoмцeв, кoтopыми мы никoгдa нe cтaнeм.
A дo твoeй жe нeт никoмy нyжды,
Hиктo и нe зaмeтит, кaк ты ee пpoжил.

Кo мнe ты никoгдa нe пpидeшь,
O, вoзглac любви,

>It's just sex.
It's love. You only have to experience it once to know. It is the most beautiful thing. It is the reason for all your pain. Evolution have made you suffer, just to drive you towards it, and when you finally, when you feel it, it is... oh man! It is so beautiful.

How do you know that those who spend all their time chasing physical pleasure aren't compensating for intellectual desolation?

>>9809530
I'm pretty sure it's the other way around.

>>9809544

And I'm pretty sure as well, for all that's worth.

Why exactly is one more likely than the other?

>>9809467

I did. Too bad they were more interested in literally all of my cousins before they were interested in me, and then realized that I was the one that got along best with them. Their loss; also my loss, though not my fault, and hence I feel none of the regret they possibly do.

>>9809557
Physical necessities are a priority to life, only once those are sated can you satisfactorily seek knowledge.

>>9809587
>Physical necessities are a priority to life
Isn't it a shame that there's no guarantee that they'll ever be met? Life fucking sucks

>he thinks you either read or fuck women
heh guess who's doing both of those things RIGHT THIS MOMENT
not me but I'm sure someone is, the two aren't mutually exclusive

>>9809596
They are met for most people: food, shelter, health, sex &c.

>>9809623
There's no guarantee for sex, and that need isn't being met by a large swath of men (as evidenced by sites like /r9k/)

My favorite scene in literature in all time is when Olenin from The Cossacks deeply wishes he was the local churka Chad wooing the native beauty haunting his dreams and sneaking into her house at night

>>9809639
I'm pretty sure they are a minority.

>>9809664
And we can ignore problems that affect minorities?

>>9809672
Yes, absolutely.

>>9809693
So gay rights and the fight for racial equality are non-issues?

>>9809710
Yes, today they are capitalist scams and distractions to real issues.

>>9809710
I also see how you're obviously steering this discussion so you can infest this thread with cancerous neo-liberal ideology so kindly fuck off.

>>9809723

>is drunk
>decided to come on the 4chan literature board over every other board, or website

not hating but what was your thought process

>>9809741
Chads amassed all women since the dawn of time lad. In fact, there's no better time to get laid while being a non-Chad than now, don't let r9k tell you otherwise.

>>9809756
>there's no better time to get laid while being a non-Chad than now

>>9809798
Date midgets

>>9809806
Not making excuses. I've been trying for years. The problem is that women select for height not in comparison to themselves, but in comparison to other men. I don't know if it's an evolved trait relating to feelings of protection, but it's a definitely a thing. It's an even bigger problem now that any woman has a near unlimited amount of men to choose from on her dating apps.

>>9809798
>>9809831
Is 5'6" really considered short for a man? I'm 5'7.5", am I really that fucked?

>>9809850
I guess it depends where you live. I live in a part of the US where everyone is of Dutch and Germany descent, so even women are like 5'8"

>>9809856
>women are like 5'8"
hnnnnng

>>9809880
I went to school with a girl who was like 6'2 when she was 15. Northern European genes are something special.

>>9809884
Did she ever pin anyone down and brahp in their face?

Huh? No. Beautiful women often look beautiful naked and without makeup, too.

>>9810011
Yeah, I've wanted to kill myself since I was in 3rd grade, so about 8-9 years old I guess.

What thw fuck is up with this thread? I thought /lit/ was full of arrogant patricians that believed themseleves superior to plebs, which if it's the case i don't understand how you guys are not pulling women since some of them dig the whole arrogant vibe.

Also, why do you care what plebs think of you for reading outside, are you a fucking pseud?

Knowledge is also a necessity, since without it you can't satisfy your physical needs. I still don't see how them being a priority means it is less likely people pursue them to excess as a compensation for intellectual barrenness rather than the other way around.

Also, you're point is null. By that logic cars exist to consume fuel rather than to transport people.

Physical necessities are only different means to various ends. Knowledge and it's acquisition is both a means to other things and an end in of itself.

im 6'4, fucking a 6 foot slavic girl who is a 10/10, im not a chad but im not...whatever the fuck some of you people are here either.

>>9809856
Which part of the US?

Where are these Chads you speak of? I have never known one in my life. In high school there were the athletes who acted Chad-ish and were always seen around the known slut girls. They never scored with any girl I actually liked, to my knowledge, so I didn't see them as anything special. I knew plenty of beautiful girls in college, and the only thing distinguishing their boyfriends from the average was wealth. Not any particular behaviour or personality.

>Womanizing is so much more fun when you see everything between a 4 and a 10 as fuckable and can just burn through them looking for particularly fun ones.
You're delusioned beyond words, you're objectively going against your own true wishes if you want to fuck anything below at least a 7, let alone a goddamn 4. I'd rather masturbate than fuck anything that's ugly, or even average to me, and that's what I'll do for the rest of my life because I'm ugly myself.
>boo hoo I fucked a lot of hot girls but it's not good
It's obvious you got bored from all that sex and are trying to rationalize it, but you look like an absolute retard, and I'm astonished that even three other people agree with you.

I bet you also think you're so courageous for facing the nothingness that supposedly awaits us after death, am I right?

>>9813172
Not the 'real world' because the subjective activity of peoples and nations is also real, and of course very useful and true; but the product of such activities isn't 'objective', only sensible things are 'objective', not even mathematics deal with the objective in the true sense of the word.
Subjective activity doesn't equal to something being arbitrary or merely imaginary, moral systems are a epistemological and spiritual necessity, but they don't exist as thing-in-themselves, to say they are purely objective is misleading and simply absurd.

>sunny

Sun makes me sick until afternoon, when it gets colder. If it is sunny outside I have even more reasons to shut myself in my condo, reading as much as possible.

Breezy early mornings and chill nights: these 2 scenarios are perfect in those days in which no one is around at these hours. in these cases I can't justify myself staying in my house.

If I'm walking outside I'll usually read philosophy or poetry. My modus operandi is always the same: sit down, read something (usually one to two paragraphs if it's philosophy, one poem if it is poetry), close the book, walk 5 minutes (thinking about what I've read), as I'm walking I reread what I've read earlier, keep walking for 5 minutes (now putting what I've read in context), sit down, if everything is clear read again 5 minutes (and the cycle continues). I do this until I decide to go back home, once this happens I stop reading new passages and instead I think, focus and contemplate what I've read earlier until I get back home, checking on the text every time is needed as I'm walking.

I've recently (I've done so since I was 12, though) read and understood books as hard as Spinoza's Ethics and Husserl's Logical Investigations. Usually it is doable as long as the pages pf the book are enough for you to takes notes.
For example I could read Kant outside only after having synthetized most of his concepts in tables and summaries.

Of course failing and being a failure are much more lit than being a boring winner out of a tv spot.
But it doesn't work if there is no struggle, the dramatic effect consists in there being some uncertainty, that's why noone is interested in people that have given up.

>>9813341
It's time to take the Wagner route: basically you have to develop so much talent that women will actually get addicted to both your art and your personality.
There's no other way.

this is so stupid, like telling a blind person "seeing isn't so great ... some things look pretty ugly anyway"

>>9809234
i sympathize. although, i'm not so bad off -- i'm tall, college grad, have a good job. but i'm still too ugly to ever have a gf or have sex with a girl i'm at all attracted to.

i'm 27 now. it's taken a long time but i'm starting to come to terms with it, and the pain is subsiding. you are right about comparing yourself to humanity at large -- some people have it so much worse. some people are born with terrible deformities and can't walk. imagine that -- being able to walk, for these people, would be incredible. the freedom they'd experience compared to the confinement and helplessness they experience. to them, the difference between me and chad is minuscule. looking at it this way -- i am healthy, mobile, independent, not plagued with pains and illnesses. it could be much, much worse. as badly as i want a gf and sex, and i do want it desperately, thinking how minor this lack is compared to the lacks of others helps.

Unattractive women are just as marginalised as unattractive men, the only difference is that ugly women can still get one night stands and NSA sex because attractive men are much more willing to fuck down than attractive women are. I'd argue that it's more soul-crushing to be an unattractive woman because whereas a self-aware ugly man knows he has no chance with a hottie to begin with, unattractive women are constantly receiving mixed signals by getting fucked one minute and dumped the next, being granted hope of something meaningful (and of course women desire meaningful sex a lot more than men do) and then having it ripped away, so that eventually they realise that all they are to the men who fuck them is another means of getting off.

Women can't help being really picky just as men can't help wanting to spread their seed as much as possible.There's no point being resentful about it, it's just human nature. Grow up and count the blessing you have.

>>9817188
being able to get pumped and dumped by chad, even if he won't be in a relationship with you, is a lot better than being an ugly man who will literally never have sex with an attractive woman. plus, ugly women can get into relationships with men a lot easier than ugly men can; she might never get to date chad, but she can get a passably looking beta type. ugly men are never able to have relationships except with REALLY ugly or very fat women. regular-ugly women can get average looking men to date them still.

I'm hideous and my face looks like a beehive due to severe acne scars. I like to get really drunk on supermarket vodka. My hobbies include lifting weights (I only bench and I do it every day), scaring children, making women cross the street when I look at them and studying American literature. There is absolutely nothing else that I can do or want to do. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

The ideal thing to do with a woman is find one you'd like to spend your life with and mold her into a patrician: show her good music, movies, and get her into literature.

I spent some time with an Instagram model who was fine, but could not hold a conversation that wasn't about herself, had an emotional crisis every week, and literally said that "memes are life." Not worth it.

It's very simple.

Can't pull women if you don't talk to women.

So stagnating in the slavish inertia of my own misery isn't going to get me laid? I'll have to make something of my life?


Nice idea but sounds like a lot of work, anon.

>>9815119
I really like seeing the word purview pop up on other boards for some reason. It has such a nice ring.

>>9818530
Amazing isn't it?

>>9818530
only a very, very small amount of people will be able to get laid due to accomplishments; basically you have to be an outstandingly successful artists, musician, actor, athlete, etc. to be able to compensate for bad looks.

become famous and achieving extremely high social status IS the one way unattractive men can actually get laid, but the probability to achieving that is less than winning the lottery.

>>9818558
You don't need to an actually accomplished person, the girl just need to perceive some value in you.

>>9810112
I tried drowning myself when I was 4. Does that count?

>>9818590
yeah, but if you're unattractive no girl will perceive any value in you; the only exception to this is if a man is very significantly famous and accomplished, like 1 in a million level in some popular field.

>>9818680
No. Try again, this time with handcuffs

fear of missing out is one of the mind's foremost cankers and dwelling on it will never ever make your life better.

good looking rich people with lots of athletic sex partners go on antidepressants, get in bad relationships, get in car accidents, kill themselves, have kids who kill themselves, ETC.

and if everything goes well for them, they'll still get old and die like every other living creature
