If you think about it, it's quite likely that somebody I have replied to or who has replied to me in some discussion has died since when the discussion took place and now. Considering how many people use 4chan, and how long/how many posts I have made, it is most likely one or some of them have died, statistically speaking. Thinking about this, anons must be dying all the time, and none of us are aware of it, given the size and anonymous structure of this website. Maybe it's the tendency to see this website of a stream of disjointed ideas that mentally separates us from the reality that the posts are made by individuals, with lives separate from our posts here. I sometimes also imagine, when posting in threads, what it would look like to have all the posters gathered in one room together. Obviously, the exchange would be different, but that's not the point. The interesting part of imagining this is how different it seems, despite not actually being all too functionally different.

For the longest time, the only obstacle in the way of my suicide was my own fear of death. However, with each passing day, that fear is replaced with an intense hatred for myself and my life as a whole. I think I'm going to hang myself by the end of the week. I only feel guilty about how it will affect my father's emotional state.

I'm incapable of helping everyone, which only causes me more grief. It seems the only suffering I can truly alleviate is my own. Obviously, the only surefire way of doing so is suicide. I've tried thinking my way out of this for the past 10 years and I've gotten nowhere. I'm not a good person, I am lazy, spiteful, envious, and a whole list of other horrible things. I deserve to die at this point.

The best way I could serve my father is by killing myself. I'm currently a leech on his wallet. I only have a roof over my head because his wife owns a spare house. I've worked over 15 jobs in the past four years; quitting most within a month without any notice. My father regularly gives me money for food, otherwise I would've starved by now. I truly am a lazy cretin who deserves no pity or help from anyone.

Hey anon.
I'm also thinking about drugs and father. My girlfriend is away so I can do what I like without feeling self-conscious. I know who I can ask for what I want but feel ridiculous doing so. What do you want to be on right now?
Christmas last year my sister called father out for abusing her as a kid and so that's being dealt with. He threatened suicide last time I spoke to him and I know I'm the only one that would be saddened by it, even if he is a truly bad person. I know no-one will have seen/spoke to him since, he could very well be a corpse. I think he may be. You know how sometimes you just feel like you know something. Like someone calls you as you think about calling them. June. I think he died in June. I don't know. I don't think anyone does.

Related; Godel Escher & Bach is a lark. My father gave me my copy (lel) He is(was) a mystic and convinced of synchrony.

Pic related. He also reveals himself as a flat rather in this (his final) communication with me. This being his Christmas present to me.
Hope you're well anon. Hope your situation with your mother is less fucked in the future and that the death of your dad doesn't mess with you too hard. I think I'm gonna re-read GEB thanks to you.

sad how these threads have died. you used to be able to get an interesting stream of depression posts, anons talking about their oneitises, complaining about their job, talking about school, weird stories, autistic moments, schizo rambling, and shitposts. It used to take around 36 hours to hit the bump limit, now they're either pruned or get archived before 300 replies are reached. Many fewer (you)s are given as well, it's no longer a conversation, just a bulletin board.

It's sad lads. Like I won't pretend these threads were ever really good but I'd keep it open and check it throughout the day nonetheless. I liked just chatting with anons, there isn't really another place on the site you can do it--all the offtopic boards are just utter chaos and shitposting. Dunno where I can hangout online anymore. I'd like to find a comfy small discord or something but I haven't so far.

Someone recommend me some books based on what I'm listening to please.

Right now what's on my mind is the nature of apathy, ignorance and cruelty in the world. Partly because I've been experiencing those pathos in myself and the people around me for a while now and it seems constant but ineffable. I've also been thinking of how stagnant my life is and wondering why I'm not able (or maybe willing) to do simple tasks like learn in a structured way or to apply for a job. I'm also afraid I might be engaging to much in escapism but I don't know how to correct that in myself right now.

I'm trying to find religion, but I'm finding it hard. I've read Kant's The Only Possible Argument in Support of a Demonstration of the Existence of God, A bit of Aquinas, and I'm reading through Kierkegaard right now. I just don't know. Why does the first mover have to be God? If there is a God, why is he the personal, Christian God? I guess I can believe that Jesus Christ was God. I mean, his apostles didn't accept to be tortured to death for no reason. And there is historical evidence of Jesus existing. I know I deserve hell if there is a God. I just don't know bros. I believe in evolution. How could I believe in Christianity if I believe in evolution?

I know all of this sounds very stream of conscious. I'm not very good at articulating things. How could I work towards a goal that I'm confident in if I don't know what I'm doing? How does anyone know what they're doing?

I can't stop thinking about this. I never though much about trans people other than vague sympathy and I'm questioning the entire concept. Does the idea of being "transgender" even make fucking sense without gender essentialism, which is most strongly rejected by the same groups most supportive of trans people? Am I TERF now?

the problem with the LGBT movement right now is that we just can't seem to collectively realize that gender is a social construct on every level. there is no absolute sense of male or female in one's personality because both of those attributes are completely arbitrary and based on culture, not biology
the real metric that we need to look at is dysphoria. do you feel an overwhelming need to be the opposite sex both physically and socially? if so, you're trans, not because your brain is the wrong brain but instead because it rejects its body. that's all it is; you feel an irresistible urge to physically transition and be referred to as such, there are no gender roles at play here
this extends to non-binary "genders". do you feel overwhelming discomfort towards being seen as either male or female? if so, you're "agender", which is just short for "I feel universal dysphoria". and since you can't have dysphoria only sometimes (you're probably bipolar) or in less than absolute terms (pick up crossdressing, don't transition), this rules out genderfluidity and bigender as possible realities, and don't even get me started on xenogenders. you can either feel no dysphoria, dysphoria towards only your sex, or dysphoria towards both sexes, so you can only be cis, trans, or "agender" respectively
of course, we aren't going to see improvement in this department for a while, since there's been a recent trend towards the tolerance of """non-dysphoric transpeople""", whatever that means, which has been justified with gender essentialism. additionally, "genderfluid" is one of the more common nb identities, so a standardization of dysphoria is just going to step on their toes and cause backlash
summary for that wall of text: yes, we're tending towards more insane definitions of gender, but as long as you remember that dysphoria is an actual problem that is only solved through physical and social transition, there's no need to be a TERF just yet

I have an internet addiction. It's is a great gateway for an occasional porn addiction.
I worry so much about so many things that sometimes my mind enters an overloaded state in which

my thoughts run rampant and I feel a loss of control over them.

I smoke spliffs every day and I am addicted to them. Maybe the withdrawals come from nicotine

alone, but it works as a spliff addiction.
My circle of friends is essentially a den of addicts. Every night, starting at aprox. 10pm, we

get in a car and smoke.
Frequently, at the end of the night, we go to McDonald's. My health is pitiful.

Over the course of a few years, we've seamlessly become drug dealers in the eyes of the police.

I've had so many encounters with the law that I've lost count.
Year by year we smoke more and every once in a while a new member joins.
Just yesterday, my friend dodged a prision sentence because he decided to leave just one minute

before the cops arrived and searched the rest of the crew's cars. He had the big loot though.

I have a bad, passive-aggressive relationship with my borderline alcoholic russian parents. I

don't call them mom and dad. I stopped doing so when I was like 4.
They didn't raise me in a love environment, but in a fear and respect environment.
I prefer not talking to them anymore, even though I still do, and still live with them. In

reality, I depend on them.

Straight out of high-school, I landed a job in the capital -- Lisbon -- as a junior system

administrator/devops. This was the dream. Not everyone had the chance to just go and do this. But

my will was too weak. I couldn't handle it. The 2.5h of daily transportation in a train which had

a tangible aura of depression, the snakes wearing suits and ties, the casual overworking of the

employees... Everything. I quit without a notice and illegitimately kept the last paycheck they

gave me, knowing they wouldn't notice it in their non-stop work environment.

I fucking hate my life.

Sometimes I feel like the only thing keeping me grounded is creative work. No matter how

meaningless or amateurish, it keeps me in the zone. A great way of getting things off my chest.

In real life, I never have discussions about these things.

It's really nothing exciting. I was a janitor for /v/ (plebeian enough!) and most people already know everything from those leaks from however many years ago.

IRC was okay. Everyone seemed to get along and I had no problems with anyone. Probably not what everyone thinks. The mods were fine. Everyone was nice. We'd play video games sometimes. Sometimes we'd make fun of people on the board or complain about how stupid they are, as you'd see if you'd read the leaks (or don't, it's not like it's a big thing).

I don't really know what else to say. I hated it but liked it at the same time. I don't care about the redditor thing personally. Not a tribalist myself.

>CHIM
For those who don't know, Skyrim is the fifth game in a series called The Elder Scrolls (TES). In its universe, the writers have established a sophisticated cosmology and creation story, all reliant on the basic fact that reality, Aurbis, is a the dream of the primordial of order, Anu. Within the TES univese, consistency is almost never observed, justified by dream logic, and as such, time is non-linear.
Another factor of this universe is that, by default, free will does not exist, since, again, dream logic. There are two primary exceptions to this rule: the Prisoner (player character, also another cause of non-linear time) and CHIM.
CHIM is realizing that Aurbis is a dream and, as such, all beings have equal reality. This realization allows one to attain god-like powers, since there is intellectually no difference between a mortal and the Divines/Daedra. It's essentially lucid dreaming within someone else's dream, except it's reality.
This has occurred twice in canon so far, with the Emperor Tiber Septim in 2nd era and Saint Vivec in 3rd era. They are each now seen as gods (Talos the 9th Divine and part of the Dunmer Tribunal) by their respective races.

Fantastic movie, a real work of art.

I wish I could become more film-literate, or develop a sense of what the "canonical" films are. The only reason I bothered watching this one is because of a thread the other day - if it weren't for that I would never have heard of it. It makes me wonder what other potentially great films are out there.

There's this thing that I've been thinking about for quite some time now: Judaism and Islam are pretty much the same religion, yet because of how different modern day Jews and Muslims are, we tend to think that their religions must be accordingly different too. There must be a difference in the guiding principles of both groups that explains the differences in their behavior, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Just like the Quran, the Torah condones violent conquest, slavery, severe restrictions on the liberty of women, and various other nasty things. Yet jews are much more civilised than Muslims, much more refined. Most Jews are peace loving liberals actually, while most muslims are jihadi sympathizers. How is that so? The only valid answer imo, is that there's a difference of 30 points between the average IQs of both groups. This difference translates to a more liberal attitude among jews, even though their scriptures are anything but. This is a depressing view too. It implies that culture might not be that important after all, and that everything flows from genes, not thoughts and ideas.

All right then, since half of you faggots aren't actually writing what's on your mind.
Pic related in OP has actually reminded me I've been trying something related. I downloaded the Hemi-Sync files from the Monroe Institute, since I found that they worked with the CIA as part of Project Stargate back in the day. I assumed it would be bullshit, but after trying their audio files I felt the closest thing to feeling separate from my physical body I've ever felt in a waking state.
It was as if the vibrations in the files all gathered in my forehead and I felt almost dizzy but a kind of dizziness within the confines of my skull, as difficult as that description might be to imagine if you haven't experienced the same.
I'm going to stick with this shit. I don't know what will come of it, whether it'll lead to actual supernatural or OOBE shit but only pussies back out after dipping a toe in without at least exploring the deeper end of the pool, so to speak.
Having said that, I noticed some very quiet, incomprehensible words being mentioned in their lucid dreaming files. No idea what that's supposed to do, whether it's some glownigger voodoo or what, but I've started now so I'll keep you fags posted if something comes of it.

CHIM is a concept from the lore of Morrowind, a game in the Elder Scrolls series. You've probably heard of Skyrim from the same series, the difference being that Morrowind isn't shit, had lots of love put into it and is where all the interesting ideas emerged, even if they're somewhat esoteric and you may not find out about most of it from playing the game, unless you want to.
CHIM essentially means becoming a lucid dreamer in the dream of reality.
If you play games at all, Morrowind is worth a try. It has a very interesting setting and lore, at the very least.

I downloaded them from some torrent. Just look up Monroe Institute or Hemi-Sync on some torrent website. I've got all except the ones they only use when people physically visit them for a week or so which are supposed to be much more intense.
Used to be some on youtube as well but I think they got nuked by the copyright Jew or something like that. You might be able to find them on youtube though, look up something like "focus 10" or "focus 12" or "focus 15" (names of altered states they use) since you need to master keeping your mind awake while your body falls asleep to begin.
So to do that you want these two files that have some beats and guide you through a breathing exercise and if you do it right, you'll feel it for sure.
You can read about Project Stargate's connection with them in official FOIA documents too. The guy who wrote that is kind of a brainlet though, but these exercises really do manage to get your mind in some form of altered state, I'm sure of that.

Especially online porn, which offers you thousands of hours of all sorts of sexual content at the click of a button. I'm not claiming to be better, I'm probably a hopeless pornography addict myself, but it's fucking bizarre that "porn is OK for you" or even "porn is GOOD for you" are now pretty mainstream positions.

Is there a non-autistic way to describe the "zero sum" spirituality? I actually reached that position without prior gnosis and ekstasis, and the closest term I could ever find was panpsychism, which doesn't seem quite right.

Eh, the two actually dovetail quite nicely, so you aren't completely wrong

I remember when we held hands on his fold out couch. A bare mattress barely a bed. In my drunken stupor and half crippled by tiredness I would lay there breathing in between the crinkles of the blankets.

A brief glimpse evidenced my suspicion. To my right layed you. Pretty as a doll, pretty as ever, pretty as always. You had such soft hands, they looked identical to mine only much paler, heavenly paler. Just like that, through haggered breathes and the mummurs of a dying conversation, we could drown out the others with the shared sacred silence. How we pretended to be asleep and unaware of the embrace.

I guess it depends on the porn. Femdom porn has ruined my sex life.

Only ever read Berserk manga (gave up while Guts is on ship and has killed giant Monster and Griffith has created his gay kingdom and proposed to the princess) it was good but was a total meh and felt like a kids comic book. Only good part was the Golden arc (forget name) and for a short period when Guts stabbed the God hand woman.

So what is this like?

Listening to Wagner, as well as Liszt's transcription of Wagner:

And am currently reading pic related, Wagner's Religion and Art. Among many other things such as an array of Plato's work (only started philosophy this year but am Zoomer so I have time), Jung's Modern Man in search of a Soul, the Bible, Race (by Baker), Wagner collected writings, Henry Lawson poems and short story's and soon I'm going to start the Illiad. And this is a small amount of how man books I usually read at the one time. Takes me a while to get through each individual book because of this though.

No, I meant I'm retarded that I forgot pandeism existed.
Side note, wouldn't pantheism better fit the idea shown by the image? If "zero sum" recognizes a being referred to as "God" rather than "the universe", then doesn't it imply that the universe is still conscious and not just a giant corpse?
