Are people typically capable of changing their fundamental nature, are there any good books on this?

There is no such thing as "fundamental nature" you can change anything about you if you try hard enough.

you can but it's a stupid and overwhelmingly difficult thing to do. Much better to accept yourself for who you are and learn how to be comfortable with it. Not in the "I'm a lazy person so I won't do my HW way" but in the "I'm a shameless contrarian and I like being negative and some people will like me for it some won't" kind of way

There is no fundamental nature. Best way to change is to recognise this. Check out Hume or Asvagosha. Who is the braphogg?

To date, short of tramautic events like car accidents or physical damage to the brain; the only known phenomenon reliably known to induce significant and permanent change in peoples personalities is the usage of psychedelics. Some of the more recent books on psychedelic research cover this.

untrue. your genetics and biology, the actual material makeup of your physical body, while not determining you to one fate, does narrow your options signifcantly to only a few things. If your father or mother were a certain way, chances are you WILL inherit some of that nature and there isnt much you can do to change that entirely. The same goes for things like illnesses as well, obviously.

>>11426561

there is no "one fundamental nature" for everyone but everyone's way of being and ultimately entire life is dictated by a huge amount of material and historical forces outside of their control and that cannot be combated in any real way.

determinism is the truth. get over your teenage idealism. embrace it

[Anonymous No.11426979]

>>11426561
Of course there is a fundamental nature, if only basic reactions shared by all humans such as hunger, thirst, anger, etc...

[Anonymous No.11426984]

Absolutely, but you have to destroy your current flawed personality and rebuild a new one. This takes time, a cognitive behavioral therapist, and perhaps some drugs and the willingness to go through hell and back again.

[Anonymous No.11426987]

the marxist idea of structure--->superstructure also applies to human beings, if the structure is biology and the superstructure is personality

all things are found already

[Anonymous No.11427001]

think of a spaceship orbiting a black hole. the black hole is your personality or life and the forces implied, and the spaceship is you. the spaceship will never be able to escape the black hole going at the same speed or slower. the only way to escape is to radically change speed. in your case, your environment and experiences.

take this very seriously. it is your one life. you dont get another one. if time is flat like we think it is than your life doesnt even end, it's always there. it is worth it to do whatever it takes, to radically change speeds in order to get away from the black hole. if that means going to an entirely different city, country, whatever. do it. if it means starting a workour regiment, do it. if it means forcing yourself to socialize more, do it. if it means undergoing some kind of mission or struggle you feel is keeping you from feeling alive, do it.

No half measures. no excuses. No wasting time. Do whatever it takes. "Life" is the most important thing in life. its the only thing that matters

A strong experience will do it. Psychedelics can sometimes be a way to do this, but not often it seems from personal experience.

Religion can also do this for some people. I would imagine getting this shift in yourself without drugs or religion would have to be a constant battle of doings things you wouldnt do. You would just have to do it long enough for it to become part of you, like a monk

Nope. Spiritual experiences can be influencial but psychedelics aren't the only means of inducing them. People change all the time through persistent daily effort. A community of like minded people is helpful here

Okay, so go out and buy hundreds of dollars worth of makeup, learn how to airbrush, learn how to take flattering photos, and probably pay a few women to help you put it all together.
After all this time and money, you will be a cute girl. In pictures, at least- even Sneaky looks like a man in a dress in person.

There's enough videos of Latinos flaying each other alive and hacking women to pieces with an axe (women who by the way were previously recorded carving the throat of some bound, gagged anonymous victim.) Another one biting the dust thanks to the system they embraced a long fucking time ago with their "Drug dealers are the modern day Robin Hoods," propaganda doesn't bother me in the slightest. They chose this life, the same way Americans chose dull, saccharine, Ozzie and Harriet conformity. We embrace peace and quiet, they embrace blood and guts, high stakes adventures that don't always pay off. Now they're upset because oh, the ruthless dealers have seized control nation wide and nobody can escape their influence and those who resist are put to the sword/machete/AR-15? Fuck 'em.

How can I at once want to fuck the absolute life out of a woman while simultaneously seeing her as a vapid husk of a human being?

From a scientific perspective it is possible to "Reprogram" yourself by repeating the desired behavioral trait until it becomes second nature.

Of course since the undesirable one was there first it's always possible to relapse.

The thing is that it only works if you genuinely want it too, which means no, you can't retrain thots into liking your incel ass.
