Dumb statement. You need to replace those things with tools that decrease long-term stress, cutting them out without finding better ways to cope with stress is a mistake. Mediation and exercise are good tools at reducing stress short term and long term, implementing them will make it easier to cut out cheap short term anti-stress techniques like internet, junk food, porn, etc.

if everyone got rid of the toxic people in their lives the world would be filled with various schisms in friend circles and no one would be able to do anything together because there would always be people trying to avoid someone else for some bullshit reason.

you have to grow up and learn to deal with people who you dont like. sorry hun.

Obviously it's not feasible for 'everyone' to do this but it's beneficial for any one individual to do this. If you care about your personal well-being, it's a very helpful step to take, but most people are deluded and are unwilling to make efforts towards improving their well-being.

telling people on 4chan to cut toxic people from their lives is the same as telling people on 4chan to stop going on 4chan or stop being who they are as this is literally the internet mecca for toxicity. Is this a koan?

This isn't a survey thread ya spergs. Those are things you need to do if you want to lead a satisfying and fulfilling life. All you're doing is admitting you're lazy and unwilling to improve. It's weird that you would want to do that.

It's hard for me to take this guy seriously with his hard-boiled demeanor etc. when he can't even cope with the fact that he's Arab and acknowledge it. Instead he wastes hours every day trying to convince people that he's some kind of Greek while he exactly looks like the chef in my favorite Libanese restaurant.

>get rid of toxic people in your life
this is the city mentality, one of overwhelming subconscious evaluations that forces the agency to detach or bind themselves to an ideology. The detached suppose their agency has nothing to do with the toxic person and therefore can have no place in their conscious assessment of themselves, but this is part of a trap in the style of The Ego and it's Owner - Ownership being part of the subject. The bound person is just as guilty for viewing all others not as individuals but as types categorized by whatever the ideology. The cities are our Demiurges in regards to political thought. The institutions require the outsider, but not a Showpenhower, Neetche, or Batelle, nor the new strain that glorifies either the beast or the city and the intuitions.

Any suggestions on books that might give us a why we might want to do these, or not do these? Because even if it improves my frame of reference towards my life, I don't see how that is an end in itself, given that sooner or late my body will fail me and I will suffer.

Seems like you're misunderstanding what he means by 'toxic' and attacking a strawman of your own making. Toxic people are anxious and negative people, and they try to make others feel anxious and negative to justify their world-view. If it's important for you not to feel anxious and think negative things, avoiding these people is important, as they are often unwilling to be helped into be less anxious and negative.

Have you considered that the things he lists are a source of stress in itself?
