If you figure a way to live without serving a master, any master (money, sex, work, etc.) then let the rest of us know, will you? For you'd be the first person in the history of the world.

You can't break free. That's the biggest illusion. You'll forever be a slave to ideology. It's not as bad as it sounds tho. You should embrace it. Embracing it and being aware of it will make it easier to rebel. When you rebel you'll get yourself a new master and a new ideology, but that's about it. Read Zizek if you want to know more.

You're only truly ever a slave to yourself. You can either embrace it or succumb to it, and thats the essence of free will.

>> No.10611904

>>10610868
A master is someone that forces his will upon you.

If I feel the desire to fuck someone and I proceed to do it, I'm only appeasing myself - the source of the drive - not any master. You can't be a slave to yourself, that's self-contradictory

>How do you break free?
Be humble and understand your place in this reality we have. think about how little you matter in the grand scheme of things, but then consider the amount of change you can bring about when you put your mind to achieving goals or living with integrity. Slavery has always been a mix of mind and matter, you can literally be in a wheelchair like Steven Hawkins and still do so much for your environment. Or you can be an average member of the public, constantly swayed by trends and whatever the news is pushing.
Yes most people are destined to be slaves, but who's responsible for it and who can change that?

Work towards a mutation and consumption model that eventually devours and expands the universe. Don't give existence any room to budge. Inflate like a balloon inside a balloon until the outer balloon pops and you're all that's left to call a universe.

A slave obeys. In this case you obey to your sex drive and animal impulses.

>> No.10612127

>>10612087
There's no slave without a master, and your very own drives cannot be considered a master to you (an outsider exerting influence over your true self). That's some dumb dualism

Everyone obeys impulses. Reason is a tool to navigate the satisfaction of desires, it does not dictate them.
