I want to rant. RANT. Raaant. I just want to babble on about something semi-coherently. It feels gratifying. It satisfies me. Don't I deserve some satisfaction? I'll tell you what. It's all coming to a head. The whole world-pattern. Everything. All of it. Politics, economics, culture, technology, art, military, science, literature, it's all pointing in one direction at one thing.

What is that thing? Why can't I make it out? It is blurred and refracted as if distorted by some kind of solar phenomenon, an aurora of flashing confusion.

It's not some technological singularity. It's not extinction either. But it is major, very major, and very very painful. But it may be exactly what the future needs, a growing pain perhaps on the scale of the black death, perhaps, we may hope, less horrific.

But it is coming. In our lifetimes.

I hate women. Every woman I’ve ever met has been blatantly superficial or tried to hide it behind some half-baked facade that they didn’t even really intend on keeping under scrutinization. They disgust me with their abhorrent selfishness. I’ve been unable to have an emotional connection with a woman in years, and I’ve tried, god knows I’ve tried. Please show me the error in my ways I’m tired of hating women but I just can’t stop myself becuase all I see is nothing swimming behind beautiful arabesque masks when I look at them.

Today, the day of all days, is the day after yesterday which is, in itself (en soi, an sich, etc. and e.g. so forth) a day following the one which has on this occasion preceded it. Now that the sequence of days hitherto has been established beyond yes any doubt whatsoever and whosoever eternal life and all that it entails the Son was budding forth with life anew and afresh the fresh prince of the earth indeed, as it were, now that it has been proven beyond any such doubt I hereby proclaim today not just the day of all days but the day before even the day to which today would serve as yesterday yes even that too though, to be sure, one cannot really make heads or tails or headtail of it. Indeed, most notably, the poets who sit 'round their leeching existence most prattle on and on about this day and that with their "sublime...etc." words that are conjured up from "within the breast...HER breast" (John 3:16 KJV) have you ever heard a poet more noxious, more foul than the one you see before you I admit I am not much of an poet but who can make such claims notwithstanding the one to whom he directs himself, eh?

I am really sad at the state of western society. I am very sad that people can't get along. I am very sad that we all choose to curse each other instead of bless each other.

I am very sad that we don't work together more and have togetherness. I am very sad that people feel isolated and that it is the natural way of things

I am sad at continually hearing about people killing themselves and people wanting to kill themselves. I am sad that the only solutions that people consider feasible are within the terms of things that do not work

I am sad that intellectualism is valued and empathy is not. I am sad to know how much sadness there is all around and that nobody seems to know much what to do about it

But, I am happy to know there is hope, there is good, and it rests on each of our shoulders, unironically

You know I tried my hand at a few different books on Buddhism (the history and the practice) and I wasn't really able to separate it from any other religious woo.

I can appreciate the secular aspects of it because the language is a lot clearer, but the woo is still definitely there, and I don't have a lot of patience for metaphor especially when it's intentionally obtuse.

I ended up trying acid and I was out for about 16 hours from start to finish but in the end any sort of revelation I had when "trippin" was just some faggy platitude and I realized that it's the same thing as marijuana but because the intensity is cranked up and the duration is stretched out it's supposed to be significant.

What is wrong with the world today? Increasingly the sentiment in popular opinion is that something's wrong, but as to exactly what, no one can quite say. You may here some crackpot suggestions here and there, political gripes, superstitious hatreds, and perhaps earnest pleas. Still no one knows.

I want to know. I must know. The the world is a sizable place and breaking it all down to the neat jigsaw components you need to proceed is a rigorous task in itself, let alone configuring them properly so you get to the bottom of it.

It's all happening at once. Climate, social, political change, tempests of maneuverings and silently shuffling troop deployments of strategies. It's all staring me down in the face.

It's important to separate ourselves from vanity not because it's self-centered necessarily but because it's impossible to be an impartial observer of yourself.

yup, we would have to be tolerant of intolerance as well. but you are also thinking along the lines that the only way to change someones outlook is by rational discussion alone. if more and more people were empathetic, it would naturally spread, and continue to spread. this is possible if it were done right. eventually everyone addicted to "strife" would be affected, maybe not have their mind changed completely, but they at least might become more tolerable. besides, how is it logical to be anti-harmony when others are enjoying it so much?

we don't all have to agree on everything, but we can still get along. the problem is not that people dont agree on things, its that the disagreements are what they use as an excuse to curse eachother instead of actually move towards finding common ground and accepting each other. with respect, we have much more chance of changing each others minds

We mostly walked around the house having the same conversation over and over on acid. I'm really going to try and put myself in the right position to hopefully (at the very least) break the surface tension on this supposed "higher consciousness", but the more I read from Buddha the more it sounds like an "all-or-nothing" scenario, what with the bodhi tree and all. I will be fasting for the trip itself, we're both survivalists and the trip will be taking place in the woods relatively close to civilization so that we're nannied to some extent.

Exactly. Look at chimpanzees, for instance. Most groups are relatively docile in relation to each other, but are often the victims of the more pugnacious groups. Some male chimps will form coalitions and work in what appears to be a dominance cult wherein each participates in ritual ass-kickings to prove who is the best. It's because they are prone to violence and the like that they are able to dominate the weaker, more "empathetic" chimps. So while empathy is more conducive to survival, those who are empathetic are most often the victims of those who aren't.

Collapse of liberalism. Goodnight then. That's not devastating enough for what I'm envisioning. The authoritarian resurgence we've been seeing is weak compared to the intensity of the 30s and 40s. The world is not facing so bad a economic crisis. Admittedly that may change. But even something as bad as a ww3 will be different, since the technology is new. Even something as bad as war isn't as bad as it once was.

You won't have you and I charging machine gun emplacements over trenches. It's all surgical these days, air war, missile strikes and commando raids.

The main component of the crisis is ecological. But also psychological and spiritual, perhaps, although I've lost faith in that word.

>That's not devastating enough for what I'm envisioning

What is it that you are envisioning? Liberalism is responsible for the consumerist society and destruction of the earth that you talk of. Technology was promised as an alternative to restraint, in order to grant humans liberation liberalism sought to use technology to override human nature, this technology being provided by the market, culminating in consumerism. . What happens when consumerism ends? Look at what happens when debt isn't repaid we live in a global market, a couple unpaid debts caused a global crash.

>There are scarce few tight knit loving communities in the world

This is again caused by liberalism, liberalism sought to grant liberty by abandoning tradition as societal norms were seen as restrictive. When you have a breakdown in cultural norms that bind communities you have a breakdown in community. There are millions of people in the west who feel the exact same way you do about the state of affairs, a feeling that things are about to 'change' for better or worse.

I believe that the collapse of liberalism will change absolutely everything. It will be one of the biggest and potentially devastating transformations of all time.

What you're calling liberalism is to your thinking a type of doctrine or system. It's not, it's the expression of the natural lapse and drift of collective volition. It happened late in the Roman empire as well, and at other historical pivots.

The catastrophe I am thinking of is mostly ecological in nature, but it also has to do with how technology mediates our lives. We would have technology with or without liberalism and it would still fuck us.

Finding a partner to trust and reciprocate love (and be compatible with) is just as hard on their end as it is on yours. It takes time, patience, getting hurt, and not living in the past. My genuine advice is to not be so blatantly critical and look inward with some self-reflection or even therapy because loathing something that much is not healthy. There are so many things in life that we have to fight and challenge ourselves to achieve, why would getting a partner be any less difficult?

A man creates a sentient being. He then gives it a choice between it's own independence or staying with him. It chooses to leave and come back to him later. The man lives alone for years waiting for his creation to return. It does but finds its father on his deathbed. The being tells him of his life and his father is pleased for him and dies without telling him he was alone this whole time.

What we had was brief and sweet and nearly fucking you on those stairs was one of the high points of my life. I still go that way sometimes just to reminisce. It feels weird. I've jacked off to that moment multiple times. The memories of your breath going from warm to wet to no breath left at all while your legs become wet noodles completely floors me.

>What you're calling liberalism is to your thinking a type of doctrine or system

Liberalism is too broad to be defined as a set system or doctrine, which I never claimed it was. I'm aware of the collapse of the Roman Empire too. Liberalism is a philosophy, that places liberty as the most valuable ideal to uphold.

What I'm saying to you is that that desire to uphold liberty has inadvertently caused many of these ecological problems you are now talking about. We would have technology without liberalism but we would not have consumerism without it, as liberalism relies on technology to provide liberation from cultural restraints for example sexual restraint can be freed via birth control and abortions. Read back over my post.

As for problems with technology you will have to be less vague.

I firmly believe the state should pick no bones about outlawing certain unhealthy practices, such as tobacco use, fast food, and excessively fuel expensive vehicles. We do not live in such an enlightened state. Enlightened authoritarianism is the only political system with tight controls necessary to make the quick swerve we need to avoid ecological catastrophe. It is not inherently evil. It depends all on who you put at the helm. A decadent lout like Trump is surely not the one.

Can someone give me some advice about my problems?

I yearn for a creative outlet but I'm not sure what. My heroes are Joyce, Borges, Proust, Kubrick, the Coen brothers, and various comedians. I'm getting very good at digital and social media marketing, I make a living doing it, I nerd out on it a lot, but I would like to do something more creative. And I want to be great at it, I want to move people, I want to create art. I've tried writing fiction on and off. All of my friends have told me at some point that I could do standup comedy/comedy writing, but I don't know if I am funny or they're just fucking stupid.


I've been alternating between Ulysses and In Search of Lost Time for 1.5 years now and have not finished either of them. Every time I start a different book I feel like it's not as good as Joyce/Proust and I get frustrated and put it down and try Joyce/Proust again. The only thing I read entirely through was Ficciones, Nichomachean Ethics and Madame Bovary. I've began and stopped in the middle of over 50 books in the last 2 years, always stopping to go back to Ulysses or ISOLT. The worst part is it completely goes over my head, and I have no literature education aside from 101 and 102 classes in college.

>Enlightened authoritarianism is the only political system with tight controls necessary to make the quick swerve we need to avoid ecological catastrophe.

Unfortunately I think even if America did adopt this it wouldn't be enough to prevent ecological catastrophe. America is far from the only country destroying the earth. For example China is another superpower furthermore a manufacturing superpower that is playing a part in the destruction. People have to buy oxygen in certain parts of China due to the amount of pollution in the air. That would mean America would have to exert power over foreign nations to get them to stop what they are doing. Might be possible for some of the weaker nations, but will be very hard for superpowers such as China.

>It is not inherently evil

Agreed, but absolute power corrupts absolutely. And after centuries of progress towards promoting the idea that liberty is the most important value, how would the general populace ever support something such as authoritarianism? Especially with the historical associations people too frequently make with Nazism.

>Suffice it to say, technology has functioned to isolate us and amplify our personal anxieties and fears. It feeds on mass hysteria and the will to believe. The internet as a medium is a great vortex of chaos.

Agreed. This is one of the reasons Amish are so anti technology. Face to face conversations with strangers are increasingly becoming a thing of the past for many people. People compete on social media for validation, presenting their lives as perfect, which only makes people have wonder why their lives aren't as good.

I do believe that many of these problems would exist without liberalism as people are prone to fight for attention and status, however what solution is there to something like this? Being a Luddite? Banning technology? The only way to improve the situation and to move forward is a change in cultural attitude, an enforcement of cultural ideals which teach people to not place value on such shallow things.

>> No.11918484

It is true that China (and India, and Russia, and Europe collectively) contribute significant pollution. Brazil with its amazon forest is the lungs of the world, scrubbing it clean, eating up CO2 and pumping out fresh oxygen . And profitable logging ventures there have seen much of that lung removed.

China however has felt the effects of pollution an ecological devastation directly. And it is a top down controlled country that has responded to the demands with drastic economic rearrangements.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/12/19/climate/china-carbon-market-climate-change-emissions.html

USA however is being run by conservatives who embrace a libertarian ethic of consume what you will at any cost and strip the earth clean of resources without regard for "externalities". USA is a huge culprit but also a green technology hub. It is both a big part of the problem and a big part of the solution.

>, how would the general populace ever support something such as authoritarianism?

The general population has supported authoritarianism tacitly or otherwise for most of history. In times of great necessity, the people are often willing to relinquish their freedoms for a collective effort in good faith to resolve a crisis. Look at how the USA, capitalist mega-center of the world, responded in the heights of WW2. It banded together voluntarily on a scale that rivaled the coerced cooperation of Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany.

>>11918439
>I do believe that many of these problems would exist without liberalism as people are prone to fight for attention and status

Perhaps liberalism is partly the cause of the web's insidious pull. But the technology would play with us regardless. In some science fiction scenario where the internet was a highly regulated system designed to relay harmonious exchanges and verified information, it would be a far less potent tool. And it would be susceptible to other kinds of corruptions.

Agreed I would actually say that liberalism results in statism due to the necessity for the state to protect peoples individual liberties.
However times have changed from ww2 and also as you mentioned conservatives (who are actually just first wave liberals) don't support this idea of green technology, and also happen to be much more opposed (though not entirely) to statism.

I believe that only an abandonment of consumerism will be able to prevent upcoming ecological disasters that you speak of. If there is a desire it will be met. Authoritarianism in a liberal era is a pipe dream. People would rather the earth be destroyed than relinquish this idea of liberty.

I think technology should not be relied upon for survival. We are headed to and some would say are already in a Corporatocracy where the liberty of individuals and very minds are owned by tech corporations. Combine this with the worries voiced by richard stallman and the FOSS movement, and luddites seem more and more ahead of the curve.

But again Corporatocracy is a result of consumerism which was caused by liberalism. Corporations would not have such power if not for the fixation on liberty being achieved by any means (conservatives say the market liberals say the state but they are ultimately both liberals).

American conservatives don't support green tech for obvious reasons: they're subservient to their corporate donors and thick as thieves with the oil lobby. The Dems to their credit are significantly better on this score. But this is a free market supposedly and the technology is being developed and deployed regardless of the pols and their scheming.

Because that's the reality of my life, and the longer I take to accept it the more I'll set myself up for future disappointment.

i find reading such a book to be a battle, as i can only read small amounts everyday.
there are certain books where it is seamless to turn page after page. this book isn’t the case.
i am determined to finish it no matter how long it takes, nor how uninteresting it may be.
it provides insight to the mind of a creative and how they view the world.
i find it uninteresting sometimes because a good portion of it is the minute details in her everyday life.
however, she can speak fundamental truths about the nature of the human condition. i suppose this makes up for the bits i find boring.

I cant help but feel disappointed with life.
It seems like such a waste of time. A few brief moments of beauty completely engulfed in a sea of mediocrity.
Whats the point of it all? Why does everyone just put up with slogging through shit all the time?
I know I ask these questions in vain as there is no absolute answer to them. I dont even know why im writing this post to be honest.
Its late, Im tired. Ill go to bed and feel better in the morning. Another day of the same monotony awaits.
Id give anything just to fuck and then cuddle with my ex girlfriend just one last time

Every once and a while ill go spend a few days at my best friends appartment. We pass the time together smoking weed, playing video games, talking, drinking, watching movies, playing boardgames and cardgames, hanging out with his other friends, lifting and eating great food.
We do all of this while rarely leaving his small but comfotable apartment on the 56th floor of his building. I feel completely isolated from the rest of the world in that little apartment high above the world. Its such a freeing and soothing feeling. Its one of the only time i truly feel at peace.
I wish i could spend my entire life up there, living that lazy laidback lifestyle, shielded from the harshness of reality

Recently I’ve been feeling this overwhelming desire to pursue and engage in genuine masculine activities or hobbies. It feels like this deep primal urge inside of me. I feel a longing for adventure, danger, physical activity, survival, toughness, and accomplishment. I want to know what it feels like to truly be a man, free from the monotony of my everyday life and the confines of my dorm room. I don’t know exactly where to start but I know I need an outlet for this feeling. How does a 19-year-old college student in the US fulfill this desire? How did young men do it in the past? Is this feeling an essential part of my growth from a boy to a man?

A few months ago in my country (Canada) a bus carrying a hockey team crashed and ~20 young men were killed.
Everybody I know acted like they were devastated. It was all people talked about for weeks. Some people genuinely seemed to be heartbroken by it.
Me, i felt absolutely nothing. No heartbreak, sadness or sorrow. While i do think its very unfortunate what happened, no feelings were ever elicited over it. I knew none of those boys on that bus. My only connection to them is by nationality.

You can do it. Don't browse or visit nofap or view it as "nofap" because it creates a negative association. View it as liberating yourself from being slave to the sexual instinct (one that you perverted and reinforced).

I often think the same thing. However, when one of my parents died I didn't feel as much as I knew I should have felt. I still cried a couple times and it can still bring me to tears over a year later if I'm feeling sentimental, but I didn't react anywhere near as much as a "normal" person would. That's how I found out my brain was probably a bit fucked when it came to those things. It might take something like that for you figure it out yourself too.

The sex drive is driven by habit mechanisms. The more you indulge, the stronger it grows. DeltaFosB induction occurs and strengthens it. The sexual urge is stronger than the urge to take drugs.
If you do not take measures to lessen your indulgence, it only grows stronger. I would masturbate once a week in my early and mid teenage years. By the late teens, it became daily and by my 20s, it was twice a day and even that was soon replaced with the urge to do it even more frequently. The only solution is abstinence, deliberate abstinence where you do not permit inasmuch as a single thought and intentionally go out of your way to remove any arousing stimuli from your environment. Otherwise, you'll be stuck doing this and your only respite will be the brief refractory period lasting 30 minutes only to be disturbed and agitated upon the next sexual images or thought, which in such a weakened state is hard to resist.
I tried indulging myself to the most extreme (4k HD pornograpghy to be viewed at high frequency) seeing if it would go away. It didn't. It made everything worse and made the chains of this habit even stronger.
Should you regress, you absolutely must resolve 2 things 1. To never again look at pornography on the PC. And 2., to resort only to static, non hardcore images.

A little after the morning has set, when it would become embarrassing to sit in bed any longer, I leave my dorm for breakfast. If Lianne, the sweet Christian girl, is swiping cards at the front desk that morning, upon my entering the first floor, she will give a bright greeting that does not feel artificial at all. Though my expression is flat, and worn under a seemingly glum shroud, I do appreciate that sort of thing, honestly. So when she does it, I smile gently, and, in a low voice, tell her “yo”, and move out to catch the shuttle.

On the shuttle people talk if they know each other, and they do not if they don’t. I think that’s normal, but one time, a student made fun of the fact, and suggested we ought to speak to one another, even if we’re strangers, because we’re all students here, and there’s no reason you should spend 10 minutes sitting across from someone and trying desperately to only meet eyes with their shoe. I believe in that spirit, but he felt too proud at having announced it, as if it were a sort of revelation. I don’t talk to anyone on the shuttle, I did once.

When I’m off the shuttle, I usually go to dunkin donuts for breakfast. I always say it’s some of the most decent fast food you can get. I usually get there after most people would have gone, but I prefer to get there when there is a lot of people waiting for breakfast. It feels like I’m a part of a community when it’s like that. To even have the shared experience of wanting coffee and an english muffin is satisfying for me. I don’t like to go there when there’s only a couple people.

I've come to the realisation that dictatorships are best form of government. With democracies such as the West the problem is that the vision for the country changes every five years. Projects are cancelled,foreign relations are reset and long term political goals change every decade. Meanwhile,a dictator can work his whole life which is a good five decades towards his singular goal for himself and his country. This is similar to a monarchy but avoids the incompetence caused by nepotism and leads to a truly meritocracy. While this may not be enforced I believe a person should be allowed to contest any elections for a leading position for the rest of his life. Change is not always a good thing.

I can't say. I told you that such a mindset will hurt you because I've been there myself and I know what it does. Even by nonchalantly carrying that idea around in your head, you're setting off a chain reaction in your mind that puts a weak underline on every activity you do and says "Why bother?". At the first sign of struggle, then, instead of thinking "I must bear through this", you repeat in your head that it's awful and grow progressively weaker until all your strength is gone. I went through this exact situation very recently. Resignation may sound like a neutral state of acceptance, but in truth it's a very sad state of mind, because it takes the idea that your life is destined to be miserable by default. In such a framework, there is no potential for anything but failure. I have said this before, but this is why chronic pessimism is such a modern phenomenon: If you cannot maintain a desire to live, generally, you die. And you may think this is all well and good since you have verified your pessimism empirically, but in truth you are one of many, and unfortunate life is a product of chance. If you think you deserve to be happy more than them, why?

I'm not trying to be condescending here - I only mean to show that your current line of thought (whose foundation is much shakier than you believe) is harming you a lot for no practical benefit. You will not grow from staying in that pit. You've got to look elsewhere. I don't know where that is, but for my recommendation, mindfulness is a good place to start.

Nonverbal communication is god. I must be a better person than I believe because I seem to get on very well with most people. I say hi to almost everyone enthusiastically. Not the in your face type of enthusiasm, where the other person can't breathe without thinking it's cause for conversation, but I like seeing people. I can meet freely with people and am at ease, in fact excited, to be around traffic jams of people.

I have an enormous penis. I do not say this to brag, much less to make you feel bad about your penis, which is almost certainly smaller than mine. Truth be told I do not much enjoy having such a long and thick cock anymore, though at one time it gave me and many women a great deal of pleasure. If you will only give me a moment I will try to explain.

The first thing you must understand is that I do not have an above average penis or even a large penis. I have a truly massive penis, a gigantic skewering dick more than a foot long. Growing up I believed this to be the normal state of the world. I believed at that time that all men were endowed with footlong fuck sticks. But this happy ignorance was not to last, and one day I discovered from a trusted friend that his penis was a mere seven and a half inches. I pitied him, I confess it, though now I wish I had his cock and not my own.

I had a woman when I was young, a beautiful and buxom creature whose lips were more luscious than any I have yet encountered. She had gorgeous breasts and a tremendous ass, and her skin was soft and quite warm. We pleasured one another frequently, she with her inviting mouth and tempting holes and I with my enormous penis. We were happy. Would that I could be so happy again, or that I could forget that happiness, since it now forever unattainable.

It was my custom in those days to walk hand in hand with my woman, reveling in our mutual love and lust. Not infrequently we would sneak off during those walks to some private place to fuck, and not infrequently I would think myself the luckiest man alive. But one day it was fated to end, the day we happened to run into a friend of hers, a dark haired woman whose beauty was strange and yet no less than my own dear lover's. She had an aura of fecundity, and I was enthralled. By some terrible turn of events my lover left us alone, and the moments clawed their way through my heart until I could not stand my own lust. She began to lick her lip, and with deep brown eyes begged me to fuck her as she needed it. She needed me, she said, because she had heard how huge and pleasurable my penis was.

I obliged. Oh dear God! I obliged, and what a difference it has made. Yes, a few minutes of ecstasy, but now my woman is gone forever, and the dark haired beauty could not handle my massive throbbing cock and has sought refuge in the arms of another. I have found many beautiful women of every kind, but none can handle my enormous penis. I am doomed, I fear, for the sake of that infidelity, condemned to an eternity of large-penised loneliness, isolation from both the eager fuckable sluts and the more delicate, adorable girls I see each day. Pray you do not end up as I have.

I need a break from existence. The base reality is that I always feel that I'm here and now experiencing life. Nothing can stop this. Even death doesn't seem certain although I know it'll be when it comes. Escapism and contemplation or work and other people are all the same as the awareness of being secluded from the things surrounding me never stops. Repetition of conscious nothingness is all that there is to come. I need a break from it all.

Yes and no. A job will bring stability, and at least enough of an anchor to stand on.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is a work of literature. Not considering the last 2 episodes and considering End of Evangelion as the canonical ending, the story is better than most stories in recent years.
