Actually OP is a winner bitching about his life, now I shall play the world's smallest violin.

If you have the ability to bitch on 4chan, you are the "top half" elite, al a the quote "One-half of the world does not know how the other half lives" from Gargantua and Pantagruel. People will look back on history at westerners as the the top half and especially at the anglos as the privileged pretty boys to a much more extreme degree than privilegemongers howl about today, which OP is. A fun book to read about this, which was inspired by the quote, is How the Other Half Lives by Jacob Riis, an 1880s account of the slums in New York City. Books like this and London's The People of the Abyss really BTFO the notion that >dude suffering is relative, because it really isn't, the poverty half of this world is such an alien space that once you internalize this reality it seems absurd to be so pessimistic about your own top half situation. You are sad about your own life because you haven't seen things so ugly that they scare you into action yet.

You live in a day and age where you have infinite, almost unobstructed access to knowledge on any topic. If you were born 100 years ago, you wouldn't be able to access any book you wanted, learn any language you wanted, talk to potentially anyone around the world with ease. Yet you use that resource to complain about being alive in this era? Don't you think your energy could be better directed at learn things? Taking advantage of the most powerful tool our species has created? You can choose to continue to complain and be sad, but I urge you to try and make the best of the world in which we were born.

Absolutely. But what use is that knowledge if I can never use it? If no one wants to listen? It's just a new outlet for boredom that just happens to be something that people used to covet. I'd exchange free information for a chance to do something ostensibly meaningful. My only chance at that now is destroying technocrats, which I intend to do

And? But basically no one is taking advantage of that, they waste their life away on meaningless shitposting and generic "content".

>Taking advantage of the most powerful tool our species has created?
It is also humanities greatest tool to keep people AWAY from these possibilities.

What does that even mean?
What exactly is "easy"? Sure there is less physical work to be done, but how does that make life easier?

I think it is pretty obvious that life has become increasingly complex and people aren't really coping well with that.

>> No.13174967

>>13174926
academically we're certainly not living in the easiest times though. There's a lot fo pressure on young people and standards are higher than ever. You need at least a master's degree if you want any decent position.
Metaphysically times are really rough as well. Never has nihilism and depression reigned over people's minds as much as in the last 150 years.
I suppose the physical struggles have made way for an ongoing universal mental struggle. A void that's opened up underneath society, but that's Nietzsche, who's books you can read for yourself

>> No.13175017

No, things are easy, they've just been so easy for so long that we can't appreciate it. Even an uneducated actual retard working a blue collar job is in a significantly better place than the average person living in any other era because they have the freedom to do whatever they want after work

That is an extremely poor reasoning why life is supposed to be easy.
