saying "everything" was an exaggeration in my part, however we do have many people aware of today's "problems" but don't do anything about it.

there more theory i read, the more i realize that there is no diplomatic solution to any of the problems we face today in the united states especially.

It’s not apathy, it’s critically vetting your philosophy as you read and live more. If transgenders figure into your worldview then you misunderstand my use of it, a worldview is your religious and philosophical view of the world. Your political ideology is directly influenced by those two things, not the other way around. Currently I’m an absurdist with materialist leanings, but to be stuck in that mindset forever is false as there’s no one proven philosophy.

An idealist is someone that behaves and longs for a perfect world. They’re moral daydreamers that see flaws in reality and human nature.

“Growing into yourself”, falling in love with a new way of perceiving the world, it’s kind of semantic when you differentiate it like that. My philosophy is patchwork and if you have an argument better than my own and who I’ve read then I’ll consider changing my mind, it’s intellectual honesty with yourself. I’m not saying that I will change my mind, but that I’m open to it in the right circumstance, defending your views to the death is folly if you’re not certain in your accuracy.

i don't think you're wrong actually. but can you radically defend the beliefs you hold if you think that everything is subject to change? i actually do think so. my beliefs have changed undoubtedly, but my core fundamentals have stayed the same for a very long time.

My interpersonal morals are cemented, but my views on what’s truly important in life have changed drastically. I used to be a firm believer in the merits of scientific progress, but now I believe that accelerationism will only lead to mass unhappiness and the potential end of humanity, I’m a physics major so fml... for now. I used to think that legacy was a thing of importance, but now I realize that Einstein’s tombstone will erode like any other. I used to believe the golden rule was the key to morality, but now I know that the human experience has such subjective breadth, that how one person would like to be treated is very different form another, although I’ll concede that there are some universal wants.

Idk, I think the fact that philosophy has never been agreed upon is a valid reason to doubt your own, maybe that’s a philosophy in itself though. That’s why I currently relate with absurdism, it’s essentially the view that things seem absurd until you understand them, so misunderstanding would be absurdity doubled on itself.

i think the vast majority of people want the same fundamental things. or as you say "universal wants"

Someone thinking in an absurd, or disorganized way is doing so because of genetics and mental processes that we don’t fully understand. Someone that’s purposely being absurd is always doing it for a reason, however esoteric.

I believe there are moral proofs that fit in to the materialist worldview due to them being intrinsic and recurrent throughout history. There’s a reason why the same lessons appear in so many religious texts that were nowhere near each other, sometimes separated by oceans.

fascism is an extremely broad ideology.
you cannot point to something and say that is where fascism begins and where it ends and every country that practiced fascism tailored it to fit correctly for them.
my idea? well i can tell you what i propose and you can put whatever "-ism" you want in front of it.

i'd like the state, if it were to exist to serve the needs of the people. otherwise it should not exist at all.
i think the economy should be mixed and suit the needs of the people in that particular time as well as considering the needs of a future society.
i dont think a united state could exist if the people did not share some blood tie

higher IQs (and in my scenario midwit iqs especially) breed dissidence.
those types of people are problematic in a combat scenario, especially when your place is as a grunt following orders.
and my statement was still flawed in that IQ itself is not exactly a good measure of intelligence. it was never meant to be.
iq is a measurement of stupidity, specifically retardation and it's very good at measuring that.

i have a 125~+ IQ.

i wasnt normie enough for the normies nor spergy enough for the spergs and got caught in my own little bubble. did poorly on the SATs with a 1200 (didnt take it seriously at all, no studying or so much as bringing a calculator.
i failed 17 classes in my highschool, still graduating and doing fuck all with a 1.8 GPA.

so i go to community college and i find myself even more alienated than previous because these people are just generally incompetent and a displeasure to speak to regarding any academic subject. majority are also nigs and the non nigs were simply nigs in all but race. the work is also exceedingly elementary and biased (this is to weed out the slackers, which i am) but i just can't bring myself to do "busy work" that doesnt amount to anything when i'm already fucking depressed. i haven't shown up in a month but i havent officially dropped out so i guess i can show up to winter classes. i'm not sure. must've failed everything.

i decided a while ago that i will just live frugally and focus on bettering myself. getting a job has proven difficult and there is nothing for me outside being a cashier. wage cuckery would amount to a misery even worse than college. so now, i have to go back. and if i cant, then i'll have to wait until i can. pursue a trade, wage cuck, and pursue my hobbies as a side thing. only thing i see in my future is misery.

Your story sounds similar to mine, excluding the casual racism. I scored high when I was a kid(~126) so my parents have always said I was super smart. It doesn’t matter though as I’m schizotypal and have an anxiety disorder. I basically failed my senior year of high school because I was too nervous to show up for class. Fell into hedonism due to alienation for several years and now I’m trying to repair my life by upgrading some courses, I’m relearning physics I took in hs, that shit is soul shriveling. I relate to the not being spergy enough for spergs, or normal enough for normies. I’m too self aware and not obsessive enough to relate over media with spergs and I find the gossip and zeitgeist discussions that normies have to be incredibly dull. I’ve been playing Russian roulette with ssris for past 2 years and I’ve finally given up and tried an antipsychotic for my physiological symptoms of anxiety.

Reading and drugs are the only things keeping me Sam way this point, I’m going into a bugman degree(math/physics) and I know I’m going to want to kill myself.

i'm not sure i have any mental illnesses but depression seems to run in the family? i dont consider it to be genetic but i do think certain people are more predispositioned to it. there are studies but they are all conflicting. eitherway i'd rather not be diagnosed with anything. i wouldnt want to pay for tests and i think i would have probably been diagnosed as a kid. i'm an oddball but i dont stick out like a sore thumb.

I’ve realized that it’s pointless to pay a school a tuition so they can give you a syllabus and tell you what to read, desu I’m going to read through the western canon at some point in my life, I’ve already made a dent in it, so I might as well go to school for something that will make money and give me freedom in my career. I’d also recommend getting diagnosed if you think you have a mental illness sooner rather than later if that’s an option.

The reason I don’t kill my self is to not destroy my family, I also think there’s some beauty in the world that I’m ignorant to and is probably a valid argument against it.

What can i say man, i cant give ya life advice since you're in the similar place as me, only further down the road.

> I also think there’s some beauty in the world that I’m ignorant to and is probably a valid argument against it.
that and the former statement is what keeps me going as well man. lets see how it turns out. maybe things do get better if you actively try to, and succeed.
Eitherway man I'm gonna get some shut eye. I wish you the best of luck and will probably still lurk the thread if it's up tomorrow.

Enough of my faggy sentiments lol

Is everyone here literally the same person?
I'm basically the same as you two.
Probably should stop using this board, then.

It is the sickness of the midwit.
In a way, I am glad that I am normal in so far as being a shitposter on 4chan
but it also saddens me that i may never amount to greatness i aspire. i am not outstanding. i would have much prefered to be normal normal than 4chinz normal.

I kind of agree, I also think self identifying as a midwit could be used as an excuse to not do anything. You fall into the lie that you’re too smart for normie shit, but too dumb to even try for greatness, and this is why I don’t label myself as it only seems limiting. Just read and try your best, and maybe you’ll impress yourself. There’s no point in being a defeatist before you’ve even really tried.

You are completely right and truthfully I am a lazy piece of shit who does not give effort in the things I enjoy, much less things I don't.
I needa lift myself up but my days are on and off and the mindfog is far too dense.

I have principles, I have beliefs. I have hobbies. Yet I just want to curl up into a ball, not do anything, and be left alone. And die. Hopefully.

Same here with the brain fog. I think the trick is to cut back on the things that fry your dopamine receptors and turn your brain to foggy mush like technology and alcohol. You’ve got too(I do too) treat our bodies like hunter gatherers, eat healthier, use up our calories on exercise and sleep when the sun goes down. I think the closer you are to how nature intended will make you the most efficient you. I’m already an anxious wreck because of these environmental factors and now I’m chained to a pharmaceutical, but I can still fight and rebel against this complacency that we choose for ourselves. I’m a crypto-idealist masking in a materialist’s world and if their world is so mundane and lazy then I’ll make mine beautiful and exciting.

Sorry for the sentimentality, I’m in a motivated mood, I think I’m going to take a break from this site for now.

Don't be, thank you actually. I've only ever dropped one bad habit at a time, seen no progress. Then got back into it thinking it was not a problem.

I will make an effort to sleep at a reasonable hour, eat properly (i barely eat at all) eliminate porn and cut back on vidya. People say it's not good to cut down on anything completely so quick but I never had a problem with quitting bad habits (specifically vidya and porn) for weeks at a time. Only to get back to it because I feel nothing changed.
>tfw /sig/ was the answer all this time

Nature seems less and less relevant. We already got rid of the "natural" lifestyle 10000 years ago, and the last 500 especially years has been a continuous process of humans utterly defying nature's rule. We're all on Mr Bones wild ride and there's no getting off.

Lol I always avoided /sig/ because I assumed I knew better, perhaps that arrogance is part of it.

Imo positive change follows itself, so the longer you try the bigger the snow ball will be, it’s easiest to quit when you’re on the cusp of beginning.

That’s enough pithy self-encouragement for tonight, time for sleep.

We’re not going to evolve faster than technology advances. The stigmata of our evolution will be adverse to cortisol-inducing blue light and the over abundance of things we used to fight for for the foreseeable future. Crispr isn’t advancing that quickly and even if it did, we’re still the generation that has to deal with this congenital dissonance.

Where does it say anything about having original thoughts? Most of my thoughts are about worldbuilsing self-insert fantasies and fujoshi manga.
