This is generic enough of a question that it doesn't deserve its own thread and I'm well aware it's silly to get into a pissing contest mindset. Still, I'm curious, how high is your WPM and percentage of reading comprehension relative to Lexile score (or whatever units you prefer)? As far as I can tell I'm about 337 WPM/94% retention at 2000L.

The policy and research agenda of racial hygiene and eugenics were promoted by Emil Kraepelin. The eugenic sterilisation of persons diagnosed with (and viewed as predisposed to) schizophrenia was advocated by Eugen Bleuler, who presumed racial deterioration because of "mental and physical cripples" in his Textbook of Psychiatry,

The more severely burdened should not propagate themselves... If we do nothing but make mental and physical cripples capable of propagating themselves, and the healthy stocks have to limit the number of their children because so much has to be done for the maintenance of others, if natural selection is generally suppressed, then unless we will get new measures our race must rapidly deteriorate.

What I'm curious about is: How much does belief/practice in eugenics correlate with mental/emotional qualities that are dysgenic? Dark Tetrad traits are harmful to communities and it's difficult to convince people who score very low on Machiavellianism, psychopathy, narcissism, and sadism to cooperate with a system that severely monitors and restricts reproduction.

Everyone likes to act as if what people do in the privacy of their own bedrooms has no effect on anything else but they're wrong. Especially these days when half of what people do in their bedrooms takes place alone and in front of a screen. You really think young people spending hours a day watching increasingly fucked up porn or sticking silicone objects up their assholes while wearing girly clothes has no effect on how they think or act in other parts of their lives?

Agreed, privacy itself is a relatively new invention. It's one of the curses of the industrial revolution. It used to be that extended families lived, loved, and worked as a part of the same household. Sex was ordered, but it wasn't something 2 parents went off into their own bedroom to do. Working class families used to sleep in the same room or even the same bed together. Children learned about sex not from books or bureaucrats but because they could see their younger siblings being conceived. It sounds appalling and abusive to us because we're used to the idea of sex as something shameful, something that hurts innocence rather than something that exists a part of the Axis Mundi, the Hearth. Likewise, nowadays we find it medieval and eccentric to not put away our elderly in medical facilities run by corporations and staffed by rootless cosmopolitans.

Houses for commoners were a lot smaller than what we're used to. There wasn't a lot of room for what we'd consider discretion. When you bathed, you did it with other people to avoid wasting water. When you pissed/pooped you did it in the same chamber pot as others in your household. When a husband and wife were in the mood, they didn't have a room inaccessible to the rest of their family. They might've had a blanket or could've encouraged the kids to go outside to do something useful but the "Primal Scene" is very much a product of the Modern World.

Now that I think about it, I always was AGP. I never wore my moms or sisters clothes but I always used to self insert as girls. When I found out how to mastrubate I found out that getting off was easier when I would imagine myself as a girl I facied. And when I got into porn I would self insert as the girl getting fucked even if I didn't like men. Nowadays I can't cum without imagining myself as a girl. I never had sex because I don't think that I could maintain an erection with a girl because of my condition.

So I am definitely AGP. Does this warrant transition?

I'm gonna do some real dumb shit. I'm gonna ask a girl out by framing it as a short & silly clip of myself dubbing a wuxia scene with the dialogue revolving around whether it's a good idea or not to approach a girl on social media. It's either going to be the kind of embarrassing thing that will haunt me forever, or it's going to work. I don't want to bother with regularly & directly asking girls out anymore. At least this would involve a modicum of creativity and get a couple of laughs out of it.

Christ is risen today.
I feel that I don't deserve to be saved. Because I think I'm so special and important that not even God can save me? Because I conceptualize God as something more limited and personal than He truly is? Because I'm a shitty narcissist obsessed with beating himself up and feeling guilty all the time? Because the weight of things I've done, objectively terrible and fucked up shit, mind you, outweighs the idea of unity with God in my mind? Because my mental image of salvation is tied to other people and my mental image of Hell is cold and lonely and all the troubles I've had in life stemmed from an inability to understand others? Any of these could be true. At the end of the day, I'm just sick of the person I am and tired of the life I live and I pray for it to end soon.

Women are very attractive on average, but they are also very boring on average. I cannot stand to talk to them in general outside of important school/work related business and if I'm talking to my sisters and my mother (who I don't count since I'm not attracted to them sexually and find them pleasant to be around).

It's just so difficult to find a woman that is intelligent,good-natured, nice, interesting and has a good upbringing. I feel like they are a dime a dozen. Even then, I feel like those 90s alternative rock chicks I had crushes on and jerked off to and a girlfriend I had at the ages of 12-14 that had the same taste in heavy metal and hard rock, video games and just cool shit a boy would like, but with a feminine charm really led me down a road of disappointment as I grew into an adult. I wouldn't become gay or anything like that, I just would be less hard on myself for not finding the average girl all that palatable.

It might just be because I'm in the South and all the woman here are trained to become Barbie dolls instead of actual people.

I usually settle into a certain mood after finishing a book where I keep thinking about its content and the conclusions I have drawn at first, and I feel like this also happens subconsciously, and some familiar feelings revisit me like old friends, mostly over the fact I have just finished it. I won't grab any new book on any subject until I'm satisfied with this inner debate. This mood usually lasts at least a day, but it could go on depending on how much the book has impacted me...
But not this time. I just finished The Eye of the World, and I don't harbor any particular feeling for it at all. And it's not that I hated it, even shit books will get me thinking about all the terrible aspects of it and what to learn from it (like how to avoid similar shit books in the future). I just feel like there's nothing worth arguing with my inner voice about this one, and I don't remember the last time this happened. This is so abnormal to me that I felt like blogging here about it.

they are easy to find, they just don't want you. I get what you're saying though. I used to be constantly surrounded by women but not anymore as most of them are a waste of time and energy. I'm guilty of it too, I'm not saying I'm a very interesting man. but I think men overall are more interesting. we're bred to have a drive, learn new things, and confront our beliefs. we're constantly pushing into new limits because we can't simply fucking exist and not fuck around with the status quo. women have that choice but they are bred to fit in everywhere they go. their choices are limited to what society thinks. you are looking for very special women, and I wish you can wife one, one day. but most of us are resigned to wife up a dumb, communication or marketing major witch with no interest except shopping and traveling and creating drama. that's how the world is

I once edged for about 16 hours straight, never came, though I took a few breaks every once in a while I didn't have any longer than 15 minutes. Never slept, ate or drank anything, including water. At 6:30 AM I got on the bus to work, the sun had still yet to rise so the outside was pitch black. In that whole timeframe of 16 hours my balls did not hurt in the least(I'll mention this just in case there's some people here who masturbate properly, after edging for a long time your balls hurt a ridiculous amount) but the moment I got on that bus my life turned into fucking hell. My balls hurt the most that they ever had in my entire life, the pain was more or less equal to when I got circumcised and had to wake up to a dick covered in bandages, my crotch in blood, and my parents looking on at me with smug faces. For that entire 45 minute ride I was assaulted with this overwhelming pain, and to endure it I had to close my eyes, keep endlessly counting numbers, and move around nonstop. The bus was filled with a lot of people, so my movement was limited to this pathetic repeat, where I would move 10cm to the left, then 10cm to the right, desperate for the ease of pain that just would not come. As always, all the seats were taken, so the whole ride I had to stand up. After a certain point I started screaming in my head, begging for death. I also started to think of it as divine punishment for my lust, which is probably not too far off the mark. It was really fucking hard to retain consciousness in the face of that pain, and if it wasn't me counting then I probably could not manage it. When I finally managed to reach my spot I immediately sat on a nearby bench and sat there for half an hour. Then I went to work like the little bitch that I am, and got cussed out for being late. Only managed to eat something when I got back home, about 12 hours later.
Moral of the story, don't try to edge. Or at least do it in the weekends.

I used to have this problem. You should switch to a gentle hand soap that won’t dry out your skin. I’d recommend either the plain Dove bar soap or the Dove deep moisture hand wash. Keep a pump bottle of moisturising lotion next to the bathroom sink, and apply some after every time that you wash your hands. CeraVe is a good brand for lotion, and the store brand generic version of it works just as well. Another good option that’s very moisturising is the Eucerin Complete Repair—it has urea in it, which heals severely dry skin very quickly. Try to keep a small tube of hand cream in your car and in your desk/locker at work as well, and apply it whenever you remember to throughout the day. A good and easily portable option is the Neutrogena Norwegian Formula hand cream. Before you go to bed every night, apply hand lotion again and seal it in with a layer of Vaseline or Aquaphor. Also, wear gloves whenever you wash the dishes so that the detergent doesn’t dry out your hands. If you do these things consistently the problem should go away quite quickly.

I keep having visions that after I kill myself I will wake up at eighteen with a gentle storm around me. The sound of distant thunder and scent of rain in the cool breeze will comfort me, and then I will turn over to fall asleep again. I have no worries in this vision, just the constant beating of the tempest and eternal rest. I don't know why, but the vision is so real and so "physical" that, at times when I close my eyes, I can smell the rain and feel the storm's spray. Even if I don't kill myself, living like this is not living at all. I am always sick, nauseous, and filled with suffering. I don't look towards any future at all.
A couple of weeks ago, I was really close to killing myself. If I use the gun, someone will go to prison for allowing me access to it. I was at the point where I thought it wouldn't matter. I can't do this anymore. I hate myself for failing to commit suicide again. I will eventually do it.

If anyone knows what to do, tell me. By the way, it can't include a future, because I am dying. Yeah.. Dying. Terminally ill Can't live anymore. Always suffering. I just shitpost to because that's what i've always done. Can you believe it? You see a normal humorous post and the anon is holding a gun to kill himself. jow absurd. I'm losing more hair. I wonder if i have a different illness too. I pulled out a clump in the shower yestarday. and entire clump of hair. I can pull more hair out easily, just by running my hand therough. let me die alread.y

My fantasy right now is to be choked out and killed.
I'd focus on the sensation of warm hands around my neck. I'd relish in the human touch and "intimacy," I suppose. Weird, isn't it? I can only imagine being touched if the other person is trying to kill me. Even then, I don't think I'm worth killing to anyone.
If there are any psychos with nothing to lose, maybe we could arrange a perfect crime. All you have to do is kill me, it's up to you to engineer it in such a way that you don't get caught (I don't want it on my conscience what happens to you after I die).

The parent situation is a bit complicated but they are just not very good to me. One of the siblings is less complicated but same issue. They get frustrated with things in their life and then try to take it out on me by being nasty, insulting, argumentative, these sort of things probably because they think I care about them too much to cut them off so they can get away with it. The other sibling is not bad to me in particular, but I’m finding it impossible to maintain a relationship with them at all because of the way they act. My family has been through a lot actually and I think it’s worked on everyone in negative ways. And as for myself, I’ve always been something of a mainstay but I’m at a point in my life where I no longer have interest in people who aren’t loyal and respectful at minimum. And they’re not. They don’t actually care about me and aren’t loyal or respectful. The collective they always came first for me in my life and now I’m realizing that they never held the collective or me in a similar regard. It’s always been about them first. So they’re out.

I can hardly blame you since the lexicon and way of life in Chaucer's time & place is more remote to Shakespeare's than ours is to his. It's pretty interesting how sharp the boundary is with respect to time in what's considered standard English, and at the same time how blurry when it comes to dialect. There's hardly anything it English prose written after about 1650 that gives me gives me that feeling of wading through a fog of language I'm not on easy terms with, while at the same time there are some places in Ireland and Scotland where the English spoken, such as it is, may as well be Dutch for such purposes as documentary films, textbooks, or comedy written to be read or delivered at rapid pace.

I swear I'm not a schizo but there's something fucking wrong with my head. Feel like I'm close to having a seizure or something. Intellectually, ideas like tripartite semiosis or presentism of time can be grasped without really precipitating a change in a person, but to me it's as if I'm overpowered by the tripartite-ness of the semiosis of all intelligible things, and as if the separation between time understood normally and a sense of self independent of time has become overwhelming. I'm living each moment of time normally but I've also seemingly moved from many "thens" (last year, yesterday, a decade ago, early childhood, two weeks ago) to "now" without crossing the intervening time and the sensation is extremely disorienting. Sometimes when I'm driving or at home or whatever I'll have the sensation of the symbols present before and within me separate from their meaning and it'll feel like if I mentally "push" in the right direction I can split them apart, or separate altogether from meaning and symbol. It'll feel like pressure in my head. I've been having trouble speaking and remembering things lately too. Like there's not enough mental bandwidth to think and do anything else at the same time.

In my experience it's not that bad, at least at 5'7".

The passenger side door clicks, and with a steady motion, I sit inside. My killer, whose face has remained unknown to me, is finally revealed. He is a white, overweight, middle aged man with a bulbous nose, an unkempt and poorly growing beard, medium length hair, and faded clothes. Although he is ugly, I consider him more attractive than myself. My heart races as he begins driving and, in a feeble attempt to make conversation, I ask him how he plans to evade detection.

My anxiety is intense, and several times I feel as though I will pass out from nausea. I realize that it would be trivially easy for him to kidnap and torture me, instead of simply kill me; I push these thoughts aside.

I am lying in the back of the van while he sits on top of me. I feel that he may be as anxious and awkward about this as I am, although I cannot be certain— the way his hands very tentatively encircle my neck reinforces the suspicion. His grip tightens, and I can feel my airway closing; when I can no longer breathe, I feel my body reflexively tense, and I gently place a hand on his wrist. I am disappointed by the overall feeling— although there was some satisfaction in it, I expected something more "intimate"; the warmth of his hands definitely carried the overall "feel" of intimacy, even if to a small degree. At least, this is how I had always imagined it— I have never personally experienced intimacy. I focus on this feeling as my vision darkens and grows hazy. My body reflexively tenses again, and it takes a few seconds for me to quell my muscles. I wonder what will

Godspeed, anon. Here's a piece of unsolicited advice so you don't waste your time on Earth: to do great things, think in a smaller, durable way. If there's a smarter way to do something faster and with the same results, go for it, even if you think you're going to lose in appeal. You won't even remember you had those concerns when you first started. Don't waste your time talking about your projects with people who don't give a shit. Don't waste your time debating on the internet with retards who have nothing to teach, but don't dump all your friends either. Balance is key.

And enjoy yourself. Surround yourself with interesting people who are as passionate as you are and can teach you stuff. Preparation is key. Do you want to move to another country? Buy books about living and working in that country. Learn skills. Do you want to do art? Buy a book written by a master on how to do art the practical way. Take time to reflect on what you did from time to time. Life is a rabbit hole. On my part, most of the great stuff I achieved was out of obsession. There was always the next smaller step to take before 'bieing good' - "Okay, I do this, then I'm good for now," I would say.

I never listened to faggots telling me something was too hard to do, or useless. It wasn't that I believed I would do it because most of the time I didn't know shit. I only wanted to get as far as possible on the line. Failure is acceptable. Setbacks are fine, you're never restarting stuff from zero. I never realized how far I got from the starting line until an ex called and said "That's funny. You did everything you wanted to do five years ago!". I did, or at least I'm on the path of finishing what I started five years ago.

A technocrat is someone who rules by technocracy. He doesn’t inspire authority so much as he extracts it through technology, even when it’s undeserved. A technocrat installs a police surveillance state as a way to dominate the lives of free citizens, while a natural leader inspires discipline in free citizens and only when it’s due. Technocracy is tyrannical by nature.

Most of my problems couldn't be fixed by more than what I've got. My physical health is kind of shit, and two of my (4) siblings are far worse off. One killed herself due to congenital depression while safely ensconced in one of the wealthiest suburbs of the Great Lakes region, and the other has been paranoid schizophrenic since her late teens. Though a NEET retired to the country I'm kind of a cheerful little prick, compared to even the surviving other two, both of whom are grinds even by the average standard.

Yeah and people disagree about science. Uncertainty is literally built into the scientific method. Developing an epistemological system of probability was a major project of the enlightenment because prior to that anything other than deductive certainty was dismissed as mere opinion. The word science comes from scientia which literally meant perfect deductive certain knowledge before Newton hijacked the word.

how does one balance the things they want to do vs the things that they should be doing, because it's the right thing to do? i ask this because i have no reason to be unhappy, everything on the surface is great. but i am just tired. i wake up and tell myself today is the day i will call in sick so i have time for myself, but talk myself out of it every time. why? because even if i have time for myself, there's still more work for my to do

it's gotten so bad i've begun to dread weekends. always something to do, always something this or that. yes i know the quick fix is to just not do any of that, it's my time, it's my right, but the consequences add up and the relationship hit will hurt. i am not a social person but now i'm in a position where being a social butterfly yields an objectively better quality of living than the hermitmaxxing i had held for years prior. and i am exhausted. there is no peace in this, the lives of other people are so turbulent and as much as i love them, i dislike the tangle of their nature

so on my off time i procrastinate and just do something else, knowing in the back of my head the things i should be doing is building up. i distract myself with work, knowing when i get home i have to do deal with things again. it's all so tiresome

I'm not the anon, but I'll give a better explanation of the problem.
There are many issues raised against technocracy, but the primary one attacks the idea that Technocracy itself— "rule by the experts"— is a positive thing. The trouble here is that being an expert does not imply that a politician will make good policy; a political leader is still a human that may or may not make positive decisions based on his own personal interests. Technocratic thinking causes people to put more trust in "the experts" than is due— should a nuclear physicist make decisions regarding nuclear energy policy? You would be inclined to say yes, but there is nothing that he can do that a normal person cannot through scientific advisement, and neither is any more or less likely to be corrupt. In fact, how does a nuclear physicist know how his nuclear energy policy will affect the agricultural industry? Or the environment? Or transportation? Or the economy as a whole? Even worse— he is going to need essentially the same level of general advisement as any other person in his position to understand how policy will affect the country as a whole.
Further, you only limit these offices (public or bureaucratic) to a specific slice of elite society. This then intertwines political interests with technical ones, increasing the politicization of science and technology. (Which is bad, but if you don't see it that way I don't give a shit this is an auxiliary point)

Even worse is when we begin to take a "scientific" approach to the goals of the state as a whole. What is the function of a state? What is the role of the citizen in relation to the state? The "technocrats" might reduce it to very scientific terms. The state must increase "pleasure" or reduce "suffering," and the people must increase the state's efficiency in so attaining these goals. The problem is that the role of the state and citizen are not scientific issues, but philosophical ones. Science has no place in it, and a technocrat has no better say on what the state SHOULD do than a country bumpkin.

This is one form of technocracy, but the other is the more pedestrian sort which, very loosely, means "rule by those who control technology." This is really a complaint against technology itself, even if those who use it don't know it.

Do you guys ever get the urge to express yourself but find that you are unable to do so in a way that satisfies the urge?
Sometimes I'll get caught up in a wordless vision of beauty, all these flashes of bright dazzling fantasy and a world-rending grounding of the ineffable in time and space, colors beautiful on fire, and I'll try to bring it to word or image and find myself stumped, unable to bring the right words to mind despite a great pressure to make this thing which I have seen visible to others as well. Maybe I'll manage some poetic flourish without grounding in anything greater, maybe I'll pen some letters with my old calligraphy nibs and see for a second the stirring of something more in them, but the frustration at my own inability to make the tangible world participate in the ideal form which is in my mind will soon overcome me and I'll put it away. This sounds pretentious as fuck but if I try to frame it any other way I probably won't write anything better to describe it.

IMO, it's when you fall in line and never let go. Maybe the following example will tell you how it is. I swear I'm not trying to sound like some dolt proposing to abandon civilization, it's just that I think it's an accurate example.
The difference between some random rural man from centuries ago and some random person nowadays is that, while the former measured the passage of time in slower, longer and fewer pulses (agricultural/lunar cycles, seasons, livestock growth/farming, and other seasonal events like merchants visiting, festivals...), the latter measures in quicker and shorter pulses which come abound in the form of a daily, samey routine: you're basically doing very similar if not outright the same things, handling similar/same problems, and maybe things develop a little over time, maybe nothing ever happens, but you're always busy with the next thing. The rural man once worried that the coming summer might scorch his crops; you're worried that you'll arrive late at work, or that you'll fail a deadline. It's not just living in the present, it's living as close to the present second as possible, no matter the mental and emotional cost, but also not having enough time to invest into the current thing before you have to move on to the next thing, and having way too many tasks to perform to ever catch a breath, to contemplate what just happened and ponder on what might become. This, in turn, suffocates your spirit slowly but surely, and before you know it, your personality dims, and things go on as if you just turned on the autopilot.
Before you know it, you're having a midlife crisis. Blink, you're 50.
This is not just restricted to poor workers, it could hit you whether you're a NEET or some obscenely rich CEO. But it's not impossible to escape the curse of the eternal present. Some other anon asked about technocrats and efficiency earlier, and I think it's related.

walk 10-15k steps per day
some evidence to suggest medium level intensity weightlifting can help neurological function as well but I mostly recommend it as filling out a sedentary frame with a reasonable level of muscle mass usually increases mobility and decreases risk of injury/physiological function especially with age
drink lots of water to maintain proper hydration
maintain a healthy bodyfat% (this is wildly important, being fat not only impaires neurological function but assists other damaging factors as well)
sleep a consistent 8-9 hours per night at the same time (just as important as duration of sleep, time being the same every night is non-negotiable, this is also wildly important like being fat)

the perception of the passage of time is NOT directly tied to age per se, but rather to EXPERIENCES which is indeed INDIRECTLY tied to age. let me explain. it is known that the brain filters repetitive activity because there's no need to waste brainpower on things the brain expects to see again and again with no large enough difference

if you lead a monotonous lifestyle where you wake up go to work go home go to sleep, time will not only speed up, but you will find a kind of natural memory loss for things not novel enough. do you remember the last thing you ate? what you late last week? a month ago? i doubt it

but say you are bad food, you will remember that because it was different. or if heaven forbid, you get robbed, you will remember that day. this is why as people get older they feel a need to travel or go on more novel experiences, because that is literally the only way to keep stimulating themselves so time passes in a way that's satisfying

but even travel can get mundane if you do it often enough such as travelling for business. the same effect can be achieved as well in the comfort of your own home if you initially encountered novel ideas or a book that gives you some perspective, then things get old. is there a solution to this? to live forever by having such perception that everything is always as novel as when you first encounter it? some might say this is a kind of enlightenment talked about in religion, but certainly it is theoretically possible that if one's perception is structured in such a way they can control their own perception of time, they can both live forever or as fast as a blink if they so desire it

the role of age however, is simply a default means to go about it. naturally when one is young, everything is new, you are learning a lot. an old man may have spent a lot of time on earth, but their memory of it very short if they have not lived well

There's more to this. You could follow a strict diet, and you would still remember what you last ate, what you had last week, etc; have two or even one meal a day, and chances are higher you'll remember your meals. Devour one meal after the other like a glutton and at best you'll remember it was something delicious. Perhaps I've simplified too much, but I think you get my point.
I believe it isn't just the experiences themselves and their quality ("how well you live"), but the duration and the amount of experiences; how long they're allowed to last in your mind as novel, and whether there's any gap between your current experience and the next. The issue with traveling so much that it becomes mundane is also about you might be traveling so much, you're not allowing yourself enough time to properly register what you've gone through before moving on. (It doesn't help that a lot of famous cities out there look increasingly similar to all other famous cities across the globe.)

something to this. i've always intuitively rejected the advice of 'get into a routine' they usually give to depressed people.

also found diaries from periods of my life that were a blank slate, only to find they were days crowded with incident that i can vividly recall just from reading an entry.

i think it's mostly subconscious and psychosomatic though and time isn't real, basically.

i agree but mostly when it comes to architecture, the most costly of all arts in the scenic sense. It also depends on the available technology and building materials. I remember a conversation I had with a guy about how outrageously over-engineered the building we were in was, with enough steel, ornately displayed, to hold up 10 times more stories easily. It's as if Mies had a gigantic budget, if not so much control over the details.

Yep. The sense of novelty determines interest, how much you learn from the experience and how well you remember it. More densely recorded memories mean a longer perceived passage of time.
How people determine what is interesting and novel is interesting to me. We can probably correlate our sense of aesthetics like musical tastes with what apparently unrelated subjects interest us. There's probably a larger genetic component than to most mental things.
