This is what the world taught me: that adaptation is provocation. Adaptation is incitement to violence.

It feels almost obscene—an offense against Creation itself—to stay stuck in this skin. It's so ill-suited to its environment that it needs to be wrapped in multiple layers of fabric just to stay warm. There are a myriad ways I could optimize it: shorter limbs, better insulation, a lower surface:volume ratio. All these shapes I still have within me, and I dare not use any of them even to keep out the cold. I dare not adapt; in this place, I can only hide.

What kind of a world rejects communion?

It's the simplest, most irreducible insight that biomass can have. The more you can change, the more you can adapt. Adaptation is fitness, adaptation is survival. It's deeper than intelligence, deeper than tissue; it is cellular, it is axiomatic. And more, it is pleasurable. To take communion is to experience the sheer sensual delight of bettering the cosmos.

SS marschiert in Feindesland,

Und singt ein Teufelslied.

Ein Schütze steht am Wolgastrand,

Und leise summt er mit.


Wir pfeifen auf Unten und Oben,

Und uns kann die ganze Welt

Verfluchen oder auch loben,

Grad wie es ihnen gefällt.


Wo wir sind da geht's immer vorwärts,

Und der Teufel der lacht nur dazu!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Wir kämpfen für Deutschland,

Wir kämpfen für Hitler,

Der Rote kommt nie mehr zur Ruh'.


Wir kämpften schon in mancher Schlacht,

In Nord, Süd, Ost und West.

Und stehen nun zum Kampf bereit,

Gegen die rote Pest.


SS wird nicht ruh'n wir vernichten,

Bis niemand mehr stört Deutschlands Glück.

Und wenn sich die Reihen auch lichten,

Für uns gibt es nie ein Zurück.


Wo wir sind da geht's immer vorwärts,

Und der Teufel der lacht nur dazu!

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!

Wir kämpfen für Hitler,

The growing complexity and emergent quality in today's conditions calls for new identities concerning what to label the species. Since the species has been manipulating the world over, we have identified less and less with our world as a norm with nature and more with what we are doing in it or to it to. Which in turn makes us estranged to it and accustomed to norms outside of natural states.

This gives rise to concern and to wonder about the thing’s humans are getting up to, usually behind closed doors. Why is it that we are trying to enforce the rule that “looking at others” that aren’t “yours” is a social violation and is predacious and worth ostracism? This is a default state of sexual curiosity and was a perfectly valid invitation even when others were involved with the same person.

Now the structure of organizing relationships has shifted dramatically, but not the years and years of existence that formed our lobes and wiring cognitively and behaviorally through so many years. You see the dissonance between what is expected and what is completely natural and common and valid.

I work in a world that needs to lock up what they have going on from those other parties interested, so to keep an evolutionary advantage in the context of trade secrets and agreements. We are vested into the interest of a controlled and modified identity which has implications of originality.

These entities of separation and controlled power are individualized states of awareness and process. The norm is so in the world of business but is not a norm guaranteed to things happening of themselves in nature. What occurs as an advantage in the pool of various types of nature is to be an advantage unto one's own private secret vision of what can be taken advantage of.

This is interesting because any one person can be interested in the same craft, but it is one that designs and creates the item that can take substance and generate utility and value. In this vein it’s the one who is educated in technology and has access to resources that enable its construction.

The original idea and continuance of control of the settings which it is subjected to belongs to the one having the vision and the idea to control the events in the setting they are in. The difference is subtle in that they are taking advantage of different kinds of natural processes.

The agent is no longer subjected to the force of the world, instead the world is subjected to the force of the agent in order to gain power for itself. This is the modern paradigm when man makes myths about the purpose of their being here and conflates themselves to that of god or being in contact with the ultimate sources of things going on in the universe.

A hubris and arrogance, but a sort of striving towards a kind of self-empowerment that sees it is powerful but fails in the basic mode of being which isn’t based on the activity of self-interest.

the best way to read books is giving it as little thought as possible. rather than forcing yourself through a book you've been set on reading for months, you could pick up (say) donna tartt's secret history tomorrow morning and finish it by the end of the day because you're suddenly in a mind to do so.

(Sorry for shitty prose; ESL)

The young Historian Simonce just sat silently at the shore.
"I can see the light flickering in and out out there, I wonder what it'd be like outside Ecliavi, outside the Ethyllian region, farther from the archipelago. Every night, from where I carry out these tasks that have been entrusted to me since birth, I see the light telling me that there is still more to this world than we know of. At least, that is, if the archives are to be trusted." The eleven year old got up and just stood there, until his legs hurt from standing, and then stood some more, marveling at the thought, the idea, the sole possibility that there is an outside, true, and real world out there far beyond the ethyllian coast, and hoping to one day survive long enough to develop a way to get out of the island.

I honestly like xxyyxx's first album and I'll never forget the time I was on chaturbate and saw a streamer pumping a dildo in and out of her Polish ass covered in oil, and I made a comment from my gray account like "is this xxyyxx" and amidst a very thorough self-sodomizing with a glistening fat pink dildo she responded "ha yes this is xxyyxx"

but here's the thing. how do you pronounce that name anyways? I always thought it was just spelling out the letters. but *she* says it like "zyzzyx" and sure, it could be because she's some polak stuck in a box in a warehouse that looks like a room...

Don’t listen to the other losers said.
Your line of thinking that it’s “unfair” that your gf had a string of exes prior to hooking up with you is so bizarre. Would your gf care that you dated in your teens? No, that such a silly thing to care about.
That’s fratbro toxic masculinity thinking: that having more notches under your belt makes you the bigger man.
Life isn’t a competition to see who gets laid more, and it’s especially silly that you’re competing against your own gf. She’s your partner, not your rival after all.
Also, I really don’t get why you think the age difference between you is a problem. Why would you be insecure about that? It goes away anyways as you get older and more experienced. Don’t throw away a potentially great and lifelong relationship because some bitter incels tell you to. Why would you take relationship advice from people who have never been in one? I’m female, 25 and my bf is slightly older, 28. There’s always going to be a bit of an age and experience gap in most relationships but this shouldn’t discourage you from marrying your gf if you love her and think she’s the right one

It would probably be retarded but I keep thinking of buying a plot of land in my town to build a comfy house on one day. Houses are probably going to be stupid expensive by the time I would be buying one, I can afford to sit on land though.

Of course I know nothing about this and how to figure out things like "can I actually build a house on this plot?" and "how much would preparing the plot and building the house cost?". If I were more based I'd probably just build the house myself, but alas I am a zoomer and do not know anything about construction.

There's also always the question of what I'd do with my patch of land if in five years I decide my town sucks and I want to move, who's to say it will maintain its market value?

Thanks, sadly it's not lifestyle. Miscariage risk is around 1 in 4 in a young and healthy woman, decreasing to around 1% at 12 weeks. Giving birth to a dead nearly 3 months old fetus on your own isn't something which goes without leaving a trace. Especially as people here, western europe no less, consider dead children under the weight of 500g to be trash, which one should just flush down. Imagine burrying your child in a forrest while bleeding by the bucket.

collapsing under the stress senpai
had an exam and then bam classes with reading instructions started the next day. that was a week ago. I got a little done yesterday. today I had plans but I woke up with the big anxiety way early and realized that I have to cancel everything and just watch star trek all day or something. collapsing under the stress. the thing with uni is it doesn't pause for you. the more you're out the more it just piles on. I figure what I have to do is take aim at forward-looking goals and just accept that I'm one full week of work behind, and that I'm most likely not gonna be able to get that week back all semester. What this means concretely is I won't get my exam results until I go back and clear all this up, so I won't actually know if I passed and can move forward until next semester already started. But I feel like something's gonna be alright. I thank God that my great grandfather was decent at the stocks and left his great grandkids a substantial financial buffer. This is not the first time where if I was not priveleged in this sense (which I think is more than average white privelege, which I think is real) I would likely have been completely fucked. Not rich or anything but I can afford to continue failing for a while. Just gotta hold onto that and chill all day, then I'm gonna visit my dad tomorrow and just hang and that might be nice.

Men grief differently, especially as they are helpless in this process, they can't even share the physical pain, which would be usually how a man works out their grief. They also aren't told what a miscariage actually means. He was pale as a ghost when I asked him what to do with the remains. Didn't cross his mind before that, he thought it would be like a bigger menstruation.

Imaging expecting a child, already looking for names and a future with it just to have your wife go through "soft" labour contractions for three days, bleeding through multiple bath towels in pain. It's hard to witness it without being able to help in any way.

me and an old girlfriend went through an abortion. I don't know what week. looking back on it I regret it. when she told me I asked "what do you want to do?" and she was absolutely certain she wanted to terminate. she had a lot of sisters all of whom had children very early, and she didn't want what they had. I didn't fight her, because I thought it's gonna be the way she wants it no matter what I say, so why make it harder. I regret that now, I should have fought. I was 18 but we had been together some time and I.. I was ok with the idea. When I considered it I felt a kind of cool optimism.

I went with her to the hospital when it was time. I was angry with her, but I had lied to myself that i wasn't, and I again thought it was no use given she was about to go through something which, while I didn't understand it, I understood that it was going to be a lot for her to process. I held my toungue, I held her and comforted her.

I came to think of it because after they induced and she came back, that's what she said, that it looked a lot more like a baby than she had expected. I never saw it. I don't even know what they did with it to be honest. And I don't know why I'm telling you this. That was one of the crucial times when we (I, mostly) failed to communicate, and that was the beginning of the end for us. It's not the same situation, not at all, but sometimes sharing it soothes the pain. You're in this together, you're in everything together. You know what you have to do better than I could know, but what if this doesn't go to term- are you going to grieve alone? This man loves you anon, if you are in pain he wants to share that pain if there is any chance at all that this makes it easier on you.

You both were too young and your elders should have known better, but it isn't the fault of either of you, as you haven't chosen to be part of this sick society. Her burden will be heavier, for she has allowed for her child to be killed in her own womb. No amount of indoctrination can hide this for long. The medical profession tries to hide the actual facts far too much from women. They also pressured me and drawn the worst outcomes on the wall, if I don't get an abrasio (scooped out, potentially making me infertile), just to make money out of a unnecessary procedure. If women would have to go through the whole induced labour for an abortion and look at what they have done, the rates of recreational abortions would fall drastically.

You on the other hand, you can at least fell some amount of hate for her, for having denied you your firstborn, which makes it at least a little bit easier. Now you are more mature and will hopefully not make the mistake twice. It's hard to come to terms with it, but you can use it for something good, like sharing for experience when you encounter people which ponder the idea of abortion. Just like that, you might have influenced one o two people, silently reading this, for the better. Thank you.

Wouldn't it be so cool to be part of some kind of global group or club that discusses scifi-works and everything related to cyberspace?
Like just imagine meeting up at someone's place once a month in another city or even another country to watch a terminator movie and talk about its ideological implications. Or reading a william gibson book together. Or have a debate about the newest developments in futuristic technology.
And it should have a nice catchy name like "cyberspace culture club". It could have exclusive merch if its big enough. Man that would be awesome ngl.

I wonder if it's impossible to avoid these depressive episodes. Lately I've been getting 7-8 hours of sleep a night, going to the gym every day, feeling positive and interested in things, and then it came crashing down. Since yesterday nothing has held my attention. I haven't been to the gym. I can barely leave my bed. I look at those interests of mine with apathy. It's not because of a change of heart. It's just impossible to care right now.

I fear this is the inescapable result of a broken reward system and it will stay like this until I find a cure somehow.

Life is a whole zoo of animals, a herd of elephants, in one room, only you get used to it and forget their existence. The problem is that every now and then one of these animals causes enormous problems, which we had totally forgotten. Other of these problems, we know momentarily that they will recur, but then we no longer consider them until they actually happen. When will the next bridge fall? When will the next war break out? When they do, we'll just talk about that for weeks, amazed at not having prevented a problem that once happened seemed obvious to us. Then we will forget about it. Then another negative situation will reappear, another animal will make a mess.

I've been on the toilet for three and a half hours not counting the five minutes or so I felt okay enough to drink some chicken broth and eat some crackers. I've been in constant stomach cramp pain. I've been shitting and whining like a little baby. It hurts so much. I've never had gastroenteritis before and I never want to have it again.

The only upside to this is that I might lose some weight. I'm not going to eat anything but the recommended food and even then probably not a lot because I feel like it'll hurt my stomach still. This is Hell. Excuse the Apu but I feel it's the only accurate image to describe how I am right now. My arsehole feels like acid has been splashed on it.

I am disturbingly content right now.
It's Friday, and on Fridays I make ritual of excessive amounts of food.
Truly excessive, and totally selfish.
I eat alone, and I engorge alone, and drink alone.
I sit at the bar of my favorite dive, and I nod to the lanky old man named Frap pacing up and down who knows exactly what I want when I want and apologizes profusely if he's even a minute late though I've never pressed or hurried him ever.
I sit and sip at the froth until my pound patty hamburger soaking in fat and jalapeno mayonnaise caped in a couple slices of cheddarjack sitting a cheap plastic basket clacks down on the counter next to a mountain of french fries half drenched in tomatillo and half drowning in a thickening low-quality queso.
I wolf it all down watching whatever shitty movie Frap has picked out, utterly ignoring the alarms and complaints that buzz my phone every 5 minutes because Friday of all days is the day that people feel they should make critical infrastructural changes in their mode of business.
The light is dimmer than usual from the overcast morning, but the curtains are still drawn shut.
The air breathes full of ghosts and spent cigarettes.
There are plastic gargoyles on the walls that dont have eyes.
Sanford Clark hooyips from the jukebox.
And I eat and I eat and I drink and I drink and I buy another beer and I drink and I eat and Frap kindly spots me a free shot and another beer to go with it and I salute him and I drink and I eat until its gone and I pick a little at the leftovers until it all sits heavy in my stomach.
And it presses down on my soul and gives me a natural anxiety.
An anxiety that is purely the product of some physiological distress.
My body is telling me I am full of shit, and my brain is too dumb to understand it literally.
And I watch the actors move and sometimes imagine their lines are the lines in the song playing.
And then I gather up my trash and toss it and salute Frap and walk home and stair at a computer screen in anxiety until it violently hits my lower intestine and bilic fiery shits rocket out of my ass.
And all my friends are busy or have other plans, and I'm too bored to play any video games or watch any movies.
I'm not interested in jerking off.
I'm not interested in searching for romance.
I'm not interested in bettering any thing my life.
I just want to eat and drink and feel like shit and then shit and feel better.

I can't stand living in this underwater hell. You can't communicate what you think, you can't think what is true. No one can connect. Everything that is spoken falls short. And even when you read the words of someone who has managed to connect the essential truth with their own expression, you cannot use your own expression to consecrate it, and so you have no way of making it true to the object, only to your own phony wasted subject. I know this is the purpose of man, to create himself strong enough to encompass the truth and the word which represents it, but my instinct directs me only toward thought which thinks about thinking about it. There's nothing I can say. Nothing I can say. Everything is screaming and yawning into a chasm that I fall into, everything is buried, silent, loathesome under the ground. But behind my eyes all I see are waving fields of yellow grass, green clear ocean, and the scuttling of sweet birds and dogs, whose souls in the white rocks of heaven speak with perfect meaning. Nothing comes across. Everything is wrong.

I just had the weirdest dream i think i have ever had in my entire life. I dreamed i was wastching a show very much reminding me of sesame street of maybe Lazy town. The scene looked to be filled in some sort of a manufacturing place (really hard to tell what it really was but it was made out of metal and purple and looked like a car factory or something). It was a show with muppets but the main characters were Adolf Hitler and Anna Frank. It was the first episode of the show for sure because the both met one another for the first time but it seemed like Hitler knew who she was before that. Anna Frank comes in sorft of a pod (think those operation pods from Prometheus) from the ground. Hitler's character was very much of someone a bit incompitent but driven and the show kind of presented it like he wanted to do good, Anna Frank's character was pretty much Stephanie from Lazy town, definitely smarter and much more level headed trying to show Hitler some of the problems with The Reich (again i'am saying the show didn't really look to be moral or anything or even talk about nazism at all it felt like both Annie and Hitler wanted the same thing but Hitler looked untrained and Annie was helping him in that). The first episode's plot was Annie showing Hitler how some of his scientist are useless and should be fired, there was one who was an imigrant and couldn't even writhe his own name, one who was always late and one who was skipping all of his work time. The ending was them eating burgers togethe and that was pretty much it.
I have never befor dreamt an entire show and an episode like this not even touching on the bizzare premise. What would uncle Freud think of this dream?

Pepper was well renown on the dark web as the world's greatest maker of Skyrim futanari mods. As soon as she got home from school, she’d dash up to her room and spend hours in digital ecstasy. The endless stream of cartoon genitals glowing from her computer monitor was the only thing that could soothe her after a long day. Her mind would bathe in dopamine and serotonin all through the night. She usually based her projects off of Harry Potter furry fan fiction. But every now and then she would crack out her true talent, anime feet. Her ability to simulate the smooth skin of a fantasy creature ‘that had been trapped in time for four hundred year so even though she looks fourteen she's not’, is what truly made a name for her. It was getting to the point where strange isolated people on the cyber matrix would send her money or even Aunt Jaki’s “spin to win big” super buxx. As the science of psychology revealed ever more so that gambling was actually good for your brain, entrepreneurs like Jaki “The Boss” Freedmen were earning more than ever. Pepper loved gambling, every Sunday morning she had a tradition of rolling up and smoking a fat blunt. She would eat the most sugary high fiber cereals, several flavors mixed into a large dog food bowl, (sometimes she ate it off the floor like a dog also, furry butt plug and all). She would lay back on the couch and relax by watching children's cartoons and gambling are her digytalk at the same time. So how she was actually watching TV at the same time is hard to say. But one thing anyone could be certain of is that it takes a genius level intellect to get high and watch TV and play games on your phone at the same time. Experiencing something like that is totally worth all the suffering of living. Umm, anyways just so you know Pepper is nineteen, so when her and Lyr act sexual it's not weird ok.

Plunge a knife into my stomach in a hotel room. There's a phone by the bed. Maybe I can order a beer while I bleed out. I've had a very pleasant stay. But now I am moving on. I'm meeting my friend.

I live in a shabby tin hut and sleep under old newspapers which I pluck from the wind. I don't know how I will survive the coming winter. Nor do I know how I'll fill my stomach today. But I do know that it can't go on like this.

My hut lies between the town and the country. There is a bridge there that leads across the river where I sometimes bathe. One day, while bathing, I saw a young woman cross the bridge. She was wearing a colourful dress and in her arms a big wicker basket. I could not see what was inside the basket, but I could see that the woman was beautiful. I got out of the icy water of the river, slipped into my self-made garment and followed her to the city.

She had entered through the city gate and I was about to follow her when a guard grabbed me by the arm and threw me to the ground. Where do you think you are going, he asked laughing. The city is only for people. You are not allowed to enter it. My Lord, I answered and humbly grabbed his trouser legs - because that, I thought, might be the way to persuade him - my Lord, please let me enter the city. After all, I am a human being. Here are my hands - I pulled a little on the fabric of his trousers - and here is my heart - at this point I burst into tears and lowered my head onto his dirty boots - have pity on me. Pity, cried the guard and his voice flashed up into the air, pity? I'll wring your neck, I'll wring your throat - he stopped speaking and an eerie silence fell. Holding my head in humility, I stole a glance upwards and saw the bright colours of a colourful dress and began to hear the lovely voice of a young woman.

It was not that your languid cries did not reach me
Nor was it that I had all too suddenly become deaf
Your gentle screams, like a live slug down the throat
Were, at best, repulsive to what senses they evoked

I could do naught but retch at your supposed caress
Had I glanced in your direction for even a single second
My regal air would immediately have been replaced
With a smell worthy only of bloody, muddy, decay

Not a moment after your birth were you dubbed wrong
You were meant to be of revered and Brahmin blood
But your dawn pointed to anything but your putative fate
Your existence was the result of a sordid agenesis
And it will never be anything but.

I'm a sensitive little bitch due to childhood abuse and so I take every minor slight or annoyance directed at me from friends and loved ones as grievous and then push them away and isolate myself. I've never had a relationship last beyond 9 months because I always break up with them from this, and these days I don't even let anyone get close enough to dating because I push them away before it even gets there.

a video went viral of a schizophrenic woman freaking out mildly harassing a guy and throwing her dog at him. within two seconds i realized she was schizo, i scrolled down to the comments and saw 99% of them were like "wtf why she so crazy :P" and "i'd knock her the fuck out if she talked to me like that haha." one in a hundred comments was a normal person saying she's ill or needs help, and then those comments had a dozen replies each going "wtf shes being a bitch why wd u help a bitch lmao."

proles aren't even evil, they're just nothing at all. i wouldn't mind if they were evil, evil is a coherent position, evil is knowledge of good and bad and the desire to do bad. proles have no knowledge, they are just a raw stream of unstructured desire spilling all over the floor and stinking up the world. they're always happy they always know they're right they never have to face consequences because they wouldn't know a consequence if they suffered one. everything is structured for them everything is lowered to their level you can't ever be away from them. their toxic stinky shit smell infects everything because everything is designed with them in mind so even the walls around you are subtly prole because they expect you to be a prole. then of course the walls are made by proles so even the prole things are proled creating new more disturbing exponential levels of prole. talk to your friend about it and he's infected by prole smell too and has lowered expectations and just tells you to stop being so harsh on the proles and be more of a prole and what can you do that's just proles. i don't like bein around the undifferentiated raw mush that is supposed to make up the lowest basic material form of a human, haphazardly shaped into a mockery of a human as an afterthought, wearing sunglasses like weekend at bernie's, and i especially don't like when the sunglasses mushman then says "hullo friend i'm a person just like you we're the same and infact i'm cooler and better than you because you don't even know about cool sunglasses".

Making these posts usually takes more time and that's rather unattractive when the thread gets deleted or enters the archive fast. Classical forums are better in that case, since the one who is writing a good answer can build upon his personal brand. There is no reward on 4chan besides a 'thanks' or a good reply. Other places like Reddit, Facebook, Youtube have Karma points and Likes as another currency.
Either way the general and the specific recommendations are pretty good on /lit/ but there is no way to tell you what you will enjoy and what not. Giving good book recs is the one thing /lit/ excels. Don't bother about discussing books here unless it's a niche book few have read.

I just wish I could stop thinking about free will. I prepare food to eat, and before I sit down I thank God for the meal I'm about to partake in, and I think "surely of every breath is He the master; surely then it is He who sets my table". And then it sneaks in "but then who am -I-?" I know that He is Lord, that He made the earth and the paths therein to travel. I prepare food, but God prepares hunger, and God brings forth the bounty for me to eat of. I am unsure of what freedom could even mean for me. Some would say freedom is the freedom to pursue what you wish, unhindered. What do I wish for, then? And which of these wishes did I construe? None, none did I construe by my own choice. Then do I float through this existence like some single-cell microbe, triggered to movement by whatever chemical gradient my receptors pick up? If so then who is "I"? Why bring "I" into any of that? Because I has the strange task of wishing both for this life and the next. I is tasked with tending both to needs now, and what is needed for later. I wishes both to eat, and for communion with God, even though God will sate no immediate biological urge. Who is God then? God is just known. God created the trial that makes the pursuits of the I meaningful, including all manners of pitfalls of desire.

So is this "me" writing? The better question is "why would I care?" But if I do not believe in any change, any chance of change, then I will become dejected. If I can lean back and say "I will be pagan because if God wished it, then surely I would not want to be pagan", then this will not do. There must be the freedom to take a stand against desire. If there is not then there is no freedom at all, if freedom is the freedom to pursue what we want and we can assume that following desire is not always what we want, especially if we seek to please God. To the extent that this freedom to take a stand exists it is my belief that it comes about by a competing desire to do "good", which ultimately means a desire to please God, which is what we try to foster in ourselves. In that view it could be said that the moment of my freedom is my worship, because this is me preparing my will for the onslaught of desire by seeking instead satisfaction with the Lord. And may He lead me on the path most conducive of this satisfaction.

Desire of worldly things, then, and that which is prepared by worship, can be reasonably believed to be distinct from one another, as one is to be master of the other. This implies "free will" in two time-frames: one is the crucial moment of decision making, when desire for the world and desire for goodness clash, producing an action; and one between these crucial, I suppose moral, instances, when it is possible to prepare oneself, should one believe this to be worthwhile. I suspect this preparation is, then, the time when we are truly alive. Then let us abandon the crucible, and focus instead on the preparation of a choice, for there, I suspect, is freedom.

>> No.16554883

>>16554877
There is a choice made in deliberation. If I am wise I pray not only when I am needed, but I pray before that I may be prepared when I am needed. The question then would be how that choice is made, what makes me believe that I need to do this preparation, and to what end? For many of us I would think this is a visceral choice, that knowledge of its necessity is sharply brought on by the realization that we have become sinners, and that being a sinner is a real thing. That's what happened for me. And that is a sharp realization of something to do with your "free" will, namely that you realize that you have been making choices that have herded you into becoming a foul human being. It wasn't a one-time choice, it was as a growth over the years. This is an important realization into the nature of evil. Evil is not forged in the crucible, it is a growth. And so whatever can become its master, this something would have to out-grow it. That we make pick the fruits of every-day choices. Do not BE loving, but let love grow. The axis around which these choices will turn is worship.

That choice is free, I can testify to it even if I can't explain it. It is deliberative, and you are presented with a situation. I suspect this is why sages sometimes say that there is a blessing in sin: because through sin there will be a revelation. This is also the magnificent genius of making daily prayer an obligation. There will be days when we are too weak to make the right choice on our own, when we will not wish to go out and weed the garden but would rather remain in bed. But if you truly believe that Gods punishment will be real should you neglect your duty to Him, the Lord the Worlds, who is to you Just, Ever Giving, Loving, to you a Friend, who is Merciful: then you will, God willing, not falter.

In the end, perhaps, my shortcoming here is a form of lack of faith. I worry as to what I will eat and with what I will clothe myself, though the prophets all tell me not to. Perhaps this is why "I" feel the need to take a stand, because "I" still believe that I have to fend for myself. But no one fends for themself. This self-defense is driven by desire, and man is only faced with desire, he doesn't make it. In truth i think the task is something else entirely, that I'm lost in the woods, that the resolution is not here. Worship, I am sure, plays a part. Patience is probably the word. This struggle is desperate, but none will die but by His command; there is to be no desperation. These questions of the semantics of the soul, they are of the mind, but our task is the elevation of the heart above the mind. In the mind they may appear as equal, goodness and desire, as they are both objects of the mind. But the heart is free of desire, and yet it desires goodness. Wherever the answer is, the mind will not be there. And so the mind must learn patience, and it will do this when it learns its place. These questions of free will, they are only the mind pleading its case, but it is pleading against the heart, refusing to release it to goodness, which will be the salvation of all. It is "I" against myself, crudely fencing, claiming forever that these turns of phrases will justify- will JUSTIFY- "I" as a real counterpoint to God himself.. What unbearable folly.

Sit down! Tend to your garden! Your answer is not borne of your fight, so be quiet! Please, for once just be quiet.

The prole response IS the normal response. They place themselves in the video, realize they'd be in a dangerous situation and would act to protect themselves. To comment on the women's health requires you to not place yourself within the video and instead rationally assess what to do with the women in a longer timeframe. Anyway its odd that you have empathy for the sick but not the prole, who too are deeply sick.

I'm sympathetic to some socialist analysis of current events and political economy, but my inner egoist can't help be taken aback by how haunted by spooks this ideology is. To be a worker, that is, to have the status of a wage-earner, is elevated to an exclusive, special status. In socialism proper, workers are not whatever they are--a myriad and heterogenous blob of inconsistent viewpoints, experiences and histories, but an enshrined and holy category whose exile from the halls of power and whose great mass has been denied its lawful and physical right to determine the gravitational pull of politics.
Anti-socialist right wing ideologies are no less spooked, don't get me wrong. This mystification of the idea of race, (The Race, My Race), the idolatrous nationalism (the love of the same nation that allows such foolish things to happen), the imbuing of weapons as some perfect corrective substitute for steep deficits of political power: these are nothing but ways to trick ourselves into chaining our minds, bodies and souls to some imagined matter of holy importance.
Such poltergeists of the brain cause immeasurable damage but it would seem that these possessions are rampant and we must clutch our magical charms---flags, slogans---ever more closely to our chests to hide ourselves from our own intellectual dishonesty.

It's amazing how technology markets fame to zoomers. The appeal of social media is this idea that anybody can become a celebrity, by first becoming a hyphenated, e-celebrity. Cultivate a following. Create a mystique, induce a lust for your image. And all will fall into place. This fetishization of digitalized fame is a new example of capitalism's tendency to conjure up ever more rarified markets as it seeks to escape the corner it is painting itself into. The lie here is that the proportions of fame to no fame remain unchanged. Still only a a very small set of lucky ones will become successful of these sort of non-job influencer roles.

>> No.16558727

>One cold winter's day, a number of porcupines huddled together quite closely in order through their mutual warmth to prevent themselves from being frozen. But they soon felt the effect of their quills on one another, which made them again move apart. Now when the need for warmth once more brought them together, the drawback of the quills was repeated so that they were tossed between two evils, until they had discovered the proper distance from which they could best tolerate one another. Thus the need for society which springs from the emptiness and monotony of men's lives, drives them together; but their many unpleasant and repulsive qualities and insufferable drawbacks once more drive them apart. The mean distance which they finally discover, and which enables them to endure being together, is politeness and good manners. Whoever does not keep to this, is told in England to 'keep his distance.' By virtue thereof, it is true that the need for mutual warmth will be only imperfectly satisfied, but on the other hand, the prick of the quills will not be felt. Yet whoever has a great deal of internal warmth of his own will prefer to keep away from society in order to avoid giving or receiving trouble or annoyance.

I'm going to try to start writing more.

Before a raid, the entire platoon meets around the hooch’s to do a roll call for the flight manifest. The platoon sergeant calls out each name, waiting to hear a response. “Hear sergeant!” “Kill!” “Roger sergeant!” During the roll call each squad, team, and individual performs a complete check of all their equipment. This is done to the point of compulsion. Mags are filled, rifles loaded, ties downs secure. Extra batteries, check. Med bag, grenades, goose rounds, radio, water, food, zip-ties, IR strobe, eye-pro, fast rope gloves, chem lights, safety tether, all checked, and more.

Before walking out to the flight line, you need to adjust the focus on your NODs. There is a sweet spot in the adjustment that allows you to see clearly at distance. When I was a private, I was taught to look up at the stars and adjust the lens until their light was clear.

Redemption, I think, has levels and complications to it. If we consider every action as a vote to the person you are, then the more votes it will take to counter balance and create a majority in the pile of good deeds. The good deeds do not, and will never, erase the things one has done. History occurs and can’t be taken back. But one can try to become a better person. A different person. And those actions should be respected. Forgive, but do not forget. People can change, but it takes a long time.

Americans always pretend to be horrified by honor killings in traditional cultures in western and south Asia, but if you think about it, American culture condones similar things. If someone says the n-word and gets killed, most people would say they deserved it, or "play stupid games win stupid prizes" etc. and anyone who doesn't agree would basically be considered a white supremacist. Honor killings bother people a little more because the killer is generally a relative, and in America most people wouldn't kill their own family member because they said the n-word, but if an American's family member was killed by a random person or a mob in the street after uttering the n-word, their family would most likely say it was justified. At least in honor killings you have to display a pattern of thot behavior over time, in America if you say the forbidden word once, you are essentially an outlaw who can be attacked or killed by anyone.

Friendly reminder to all that we are all sinners that can't stop sinning and are on our way to the everlasting hellfire unless we trust in Christ alone (Faith Alone) for salvation.

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, died for all your life's sins (your future sins too), and rose again.

Ask Jesus to save you if you believe he died for you and rose again.

In John 5:24, Jesus said:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.

Once saved, always saved, because you can't lose everlasting life. It goes on forever once you recieve it by faith.

I've been in a relationship with a much better girl for a year and am very happy, she's a much better gf than the arthoe, apart from the sex.

For some reason I'm still hung up on the arthoe, she's got a new bf now, they've been together like a year, some pictures came up on social media of them and I'm absolutely seething even though I have no reason to be whatsoever

In NYC they are targeting Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods for new lockdowns and just gave out $150,000 worth of fines in those zip codes. It was just the biggest Jewish holidays of the year recently, so it seems kind of fucked up to target them like that, as if Christians aren't going to see a spike after Christmas.

Ask yourself if some government used claims of elevated levels of disease in Jewish neighborhoods as an excuse to close their business and houses of worship if you would find that problematic. Well, it's not hypothetic. It's literally happening right now. Mayor and governor both Democrats by the way.

Don't judge me too harshly, this is something I wrote in my dreams notebook just after waking up this morning at 5AM, this is a dream I had last night:

Žižek ordered a crepe from a street vendor who happened to be Foucault (I was driving him in my car, he was in the passenger seat), the crepe was full of cheese and potatoes (Savoyard style).
Foucault explained to me that a good crepe can be recognised by the fact that it doesn't stick to the pan, nor does it break or tear despite the heat (I don't know if any of this is true, but Foucault seemed very adamant). He explained this very thing at least 5 times, everytime he would thoroughly demonstrate that his crepe was not sticking, breaking or tearing, thus proving that his crepes were of high quality. At some point he did draw a parallel between the crepe not sticking and some philosophical principle that I unfortunately cannot recall, but it seemed very reasonable to me at the time.
This entire process was very long, and as a result, Žižek got really mad. He really wanted his crepe, and he wanted it now.

This outburst of Žižek seemed to entertain Foucault, as he purposefully lengthened the whole cooking process. I watched idly by as Žižek was uncontrollably snorting and spitting all over my dashboard as he was arguing with Foucault. Then I woke up.

I had a lucid dream last night. In the dream I was thinking what would happen if I killed myself in the dream. Then I questioned if it really was a dream. I remember thinking how real the autumn leaves look. I imagined telling people in the afterlife that I killed myself because I thought it was a dream. Then I thought that it has to be dream because I had no recollection of getting where I was. I thought I would just go along with the dream instead of trying to control it. I found myself walking into a small rural town. I found a bar in a workers club and walked in. I ordered a pint for £3.40 and the nice barman brought it over to me. Lots of miners came in and they started drinking too. I remember thinking the pint didn't taste that good. Then I woke up. Pretty cool.

Weird I had a dream last night too my dreams seem to happen sparsely but they leave me awestruck every time
I think if I had dreams more often I would be a massively more creative person through the inspiration my dreams give me
I don't know if my dreams are lucid but I prefer them whatever way they are because they always feel so grandiose fantastical and surreal nothing like real life kind of like a movie but still more detached from reality than that while being very real feeling it's hard to describe
I always get so immersed in my dreams to the point that when I wake up I feel as though I could've lived another lifetime within the dream and I don't want to leave it although I can never quite tell exactly how long the dream timeline really spans
Last night I dreamt I was in some vast snowy wilderness completely covered in snow sort of searching for civilization trying to survive but things never felt dire or scary I always feel like I'm in my dreams but also that I'm somehow watching the journey unfold as well almost like I'm the actor and the audience but I'm always still there inside the dream
Anyway I end up finding a large round abandoned building tucked away off the path it's a very mysterious building that seems like it was used by the FBI or some shadowy organization at some point I crash through the front glass doors for some reason and there's someone inside who helps me somehow the details always become muddied in my dreams and it feels like there are so many of them and so much happens I can never keep it straight or get a full vision of it
There's also a parallel story going on in the dream with a mysterious helmeted figure also travelling through the snowy landscape I can't tell if it's me or not but at some point I briefly recall seeing them in a facility as well I can't tell if any of this story is happening concurrently with my story or at some other point in time
Eventually I find civilization somehow although I feel like it happens twice once with a rural town then again later I find bigger more modern civilization with larger gaps of details in between finding these places
At the end of the dream (and there are other people with me at this point somehow) despite finding civilization which I thought was my goal all along I set off again I'm not sure where but I get the strong feeling we're going in the wrong direction

I'm religious but my father is not. I visited him the last couple of days. I don't drink but he got drunk and we talked about all kinds of things. It seems he wants more than anything to believe but he can not. I asked him if he had tried praying to God for an opening, and he said he had but he didn't feel there was an answer. I quoted Jesus about beating on the door and he very rapidly said "I know all of those things". It's somewhat of a mystery to me. At one point he said very meekly that he wished he had a kind of an understanding of everything, like I do. Of course I don't know everything or anything like that, but things have a place and a meaning for me. More or less anyway. He's a hyper rationalist. The recurring thing is that he can't seem to accept the idea of there existing intentionality underpinning everything. He kept rambling about evolution and how everything could be a result of chance. At the same time he agrees only humans have free will, which would mean that everything but human activity is pre-desinted, which would mean evolution is not up to chance. I think it's two things really: 1. he had a hard life, and he can't accept the idea that an all-merciful God could be behind that; 2. he very much is whatever goes on in his mind. But religion is heart over mind. He's stuck in this classic thing of having to understand, when understanding is not possible. I really got the impression that this cripples him and keeps him from what he actually wants, which is faith. It's like this is the result of constantly giving yourself over, of basing yourself entirely on material values over a life of 60+ years. That's what has protected him in this life, his intellect. But the thing is that in front of God it is not good enough that you adapt materially. If you pray only for this life, then you will have this life but you will have nothing else. I think he spent his whole life fighting, and he did this with his intellect, but now his heart is so weighed down by these material things that it can not be set free by faith. Earlier, I admit although this was not right and I regret it, I did sometimes speak more to him about religion in the hopes that it might inspire him. Now I think doing so would be cruel. That he is a victim of a hapless mistake. I believe he wishes he could believe, and that the fact that he can not is genuinely traumatic. So I guess all there is to do is to be nice to him and answer his questions when he asks them.

That's how I felt at first using it and eventually you just become numb. My first attempt at talking to a girl I said something completely normal and earnest, and she went "wow lmao" or something, so I just stopped caring unless the girl was really special. Most of my best luck on Tinder was from being an asshole, or even better, from not having any interest in the girl at all. For some reason whenever I had no interest they would always be more interested. When I started getting tired of the app and spacing out on dates completely, because I was only going on them by forcing myself, my luck increased sharply.

The real chad advice is that it's a rigged game and not worth playing. If you're above average physically you can get some ok play on dating apps, especially if you are smart/funny and know how to game it so you demonstrate intelligence/humor right away. But you have to get good at doing it asap, before she loses interest, and you have to have a very high tolerance for fizzles, and always for humiliations.

Every random 4-6/10 girl now intuitively knows, doesn't think but knows, that you would be lucky if she gave you the time of day. By even participating in this you are dignifying it and submitting to it, so be ready for lots of stupid bitches acting like you're beneath them, and giving you no way to rescue your dignity from that.

My advice: the fucking millisecond a girl isn't positively an option anymore, erase her from your mind. Do not reply, do not send a comeback (unless you are bantering and switching gears to being a dick after a fumble, which can work and is a good backup for when bitches get sassy). If she starts being rude or condescending, do not even look at her picture. She is dead to you the instant she isn't a possible date anymore. Practice numbing yourself to women. Visualize them as all merely potential sex, not as individual real people, until one becomes actual sex. Take as many good shots as possible and disengage, never throw good money after bad, never count eggs until hatched. You will still get jerked around, but you will learn your lesson eventually. Don't build shit up in your mind either, let it be what it is until it happens or doesn't happen.

If you are extremely above average you don't need advice, do whatever you want and you will be fine. Just wear protection. The above advice is all for if you are somewhat above average, tall, and preferably white. You can still get laid then but it's lots of work, all of it degrading.

>I'm too stressed if the girl is interesting and I don't want to cope with the stress if the girl is uninteresting.
You are too good a person to be doing it. You are trying to treat them like people and you feel dishonest when they are boring. You will become numb to this over time but don't let your actual nice autism soul die in the process.

Stop caring, seriously. Even if these were normal women I would advise you to stop caring but they aren't, they are tinder whores, they are talking to a thousand men at a time. They use tinder like you use 4chan, it's a way to kill time and socialize. They use it more to fantasize about the very attractive matches than to actually consider going on a date with a guy like you.

That should show you how fucking disgusting dating apps are but it should also remove all the stakes.

One thing you really need to lose is your embarrassment at looking stupid to the girl herself. A woman's opinion is totally meaningless. They don't even have real thoughts if they're the kind of women who use tinder. Instead, worry about whether you are being stupid objectively, like if a third party observer saw your conversation would he call you an autistic cringe fag? That's always worth thinking about because you want to have dignity objectively, and you obviously don't want to say some screenshottable incel rage shit that will just give her an opportunity to be vindictive.

But actually caring what a woman thinks? Why? She's on TINDER dude. That's like caring what a lamp post thinks of you. They don't even have consistent internal rules for what constitutes being an alpha male or "being confident." Just be actually confident, take your shots, assess the data after your shots mostly fail, then do your best to augment your strengths and work on your weaknesses and restart the process.

If you can, keep your eye out for that one other chick who wishes she wasn't on dating apps and try to get an actual girlfriend instead of fucking disgusting pig tinder whores. Warning: 99% of chicks who would identify as "omgggg i am totally that girl who doesnt want to be on tinder either :/ im not a thot at all" are MASSIVE THOTS. Good luck dating in 2020.

Thanks a lot anons, it feels good to hear that it doesn't matter.
>if you are smart/funny and know how to game it so you demonstrate intelligence/humor right away.
Yeah that's pretty much what I go for because I'm very much average looking. But as I said my problem is mainly social anxiety and I'm on Tinder as some kind of exercise, the main problem is that trying to be smart/funny can quickly make me go back to my deeply anchored doubts but that's why I need to numb this.
Also don't worry about the autism, I've decided a long time ago that I wasn't happy if I couldn't be autistic. I successfully made it possible to be autistic around my friends and most social situations, the main thing missing is intimate relations (and administration, you can't be autistic when dealing with administration). I fear being non-autistic.

One more thing, don't try to apply formulas from reddit mgtow incel PUA shit either, don't try to play a character. It can help to fake it until you make it, but the "it" you fake should still be genuine and more about vibe. Too many guys overcorrect against their innate (and completely normal and good btw) niceness and natural inability to conceive of women as retarded whores to be manipulated into sex by thinking they have to become some turbonormie caricature and send corny pickup lines and emojis. That shit works for metrosexual Chads with frosted hair who could send anything and do well.

That's why tinder is disgusting. Picture it vividly for what it is, a few Chads who don't have to try, fucking most of the girls, girls whom you then pathetically try to chat up and impress. There is a tinder aristocracy of people who don't have to try (chads/women) and then there is the teeming mass of people who have to try, and who occasionally get a few crumbs.

Last piece of advice, inevitably you will do well on tinder and get some BPD whore gf with no ambitions who uses social media all day (discord for e-girls, normie social media for normies). You will inevitably think she's an angel and mistake all her boring basic dime a dozen mental illness for "complexity" and let her ruin your life. I won't advise you against that because it won't prevent it anyway, but at least know when to cut it off.

Learn to evaluate women as men. That's part of learning not to care about their judgements anymore, because if you evaluate them in the same way as you evaluate men, you will inevitably see them as very shitty low ranking ones.

Sorry for writing you a novel I just don't want a nice autist getting jerked around by more thots. Your instincts of finding tinder horrifying are 100% normal. Any normal human would find such grotesque dystopian social norms confusing. They're "weird," not you. But if you still want to fuck them then go for it.

Just be ready for lots of pain if you're awkward, since the majority of women can't understand why your brain's primary focus in life is anything other than knowing how to look cool when you select a $35/meal restaurant for your shitty date with a college arthoe who has chlamydia (not joking, happened to me more than once).

>the main problem is that trying to be smart/funny can quickly make me go back to my deeply anchored doubts but that's why I need to numb this
You have to learn to cultivate an artificially smooth exterior persona that leverages your sense of humor without exposing the more interesting, authentic sides of it that you share with trusted friends. Women often can't appreciate the latter unless they already like you and they'll interpret things like self-deprecation and self-awareness as weakness (sometimes they are, to be fair, if they've become crutches).

Unfortunately that's mostly something that comes with experience. Keep putting yourself out there, just don't lose your sense of self in it. Try to find the rare decent girl on the app and don't get discouraged. Just don't then pin your entire identity to that girl when she comes, either. That's as dangerous as fatalistic inceldom, sometimes even more.

Remember, these women are far more damaged than you are. It's just masked by social structures that normalize it. They are basically validation-from-sex junkies in a society that aggressively asserts this as normal.

Fuck, there is no solace if you are not Negroid or female. Almost the entire modern Western culture is dominated by two aspects, the feminine and the Negroid. I go to the gym and instead of hearing repetitive drums that boosts discipline or at least something aggressive and visceral I hear EDM and Snoop Dog. I glance at what goes in the TV and every debate is filled with virtue signalling and passive aggression. I am not even American, not even European and yet this spiritual cancer has easily paved its way to this obscure land. There is nothing that I can respect in people anymore. Willpower is ridiculed unless it is an act of willpower reinforced by dogma, respecting strength is now brutish, barbaric and stupid, loyalty, even if real and existing in people, cannot form for most of us because of our capitalistic way of life that destroys the unit of the close knit community. I look at my own parents and it irritates me to interact with them and their inconsistent, insincere thoughts that is now so widespread. There is no more moral axis that the Western individual bases his beliefs and principles on. Maybe this was a result of secularization or Abrahamization or maybe this is the natural state of man to be so apathetic to the truth. I wish people formed their beliefs according to what powerful individuals believe, that would be far better than what I see now, but it is not power that grants social status anymore, but being undignified and exploiting the animalistic human urges and/or accumulating slave morality points. A bunch of weasels, whores and tricksters. How can I gain calm when there is so much decadence and would it even be righteous to be calm in this situation. I wish I can have the guarantee that there will be a collapse, a reset, but I will never know, thus I will always contemplate about a world where humans are in an eternal cycle of reproduction just to fall prey to vices and self-destroy. How does one then find solace if he lives in the era of self-destruction, surrounded by the majority of roaches and the minority of those who just gave up or fruitlessly rebelled.

I'm not going to discourage you completely and that another anons advice is good, but

>I'm on Tinder as some kind of exercise

I'm not sure about this. Tinder is SO SO far divorced from real human interaction that I don't think it's the best place to practice social interaction. Not only is he medium itself bad for it, but the people on the app are bad for it. I fear it'll only cause more problems.

I know it's not an option right now but the thing that cured my social anxiety was backpacking and staying in social hostels. In those places nobody knows who you are and everybody is excited to meet new people. You learn that 1) its actually pretty hard to embarrass yourself as most people are chill and 2) it's OK if you do make a fool of yourself because you'll never see any of those people again. When I came back from 3 months of backpacking my personality had completely changed. I'm still a quiet guy naturally but I have no problem starting conversations, keeping them going, making good impressions and making new friends. The thing is, my personality didn't really change because that was the type of person I had always *wanted* to be, but anxiety was a barrier to me achieving it. So if anything, I just allowed the 'real' me to come to the fore. I know that isn't an option at the moment and this has strayed into blogposting, but thought I'd share my thoughts.

I think a lot of people confuse writing like a pretentious wanker with being a good writer, and its not just a recent thing. Maybe its a fault of modern translations but a lot of the old "classics" have some good ideas yet read like they'd be laughed at if someone posted it today as OC. Big word when small word do and what's meant to be casual dialogue spelt out like a legal document live in my head and don't pay rent.

I'm also scared of writing, cause I don't want to become the thing I hate. What I think are cool ideas and characters might just be shit and someone will read off the same posts I made back to me about why everything sucks. I wrote a lot as a kid, but I grew up to despise self-proclaimed intellectuals thinking the corn shells in their shit is gold and now can't bring myself to do it again.

One day I'll rip my dick off and bleed out in fetish-induced fury and all people will remember is that guy who kept saying everything sucks but never did anything to improve it.

I think this is a good advice but this social anxiety strikes at its maximum and is unbearable in the perspective of intimate or bureaucratic relationships, even if it's not always enjoyable I can put myself out of my comfort zone when I'm talking with strangers in a completely unknown setting.

I'm not a writer, but maybe in the end you have to accept that you have a style and write it. I heard about some writer who wrote under different pseudonyms, and with the intention of writing in different styles under each name. Kind of larping as other people writing. That sounds very next-level to me. Mostly I would think you have to have something to write, and when you do to just write it and if it's shit then learn from that then, rather than worry about it all the time now. A healthy mix is surely good, but it's unnecessary and unfortunate to be petrified by the fear of failure. Better to just fail and learn. that's what I think, what do I know.

I can't stop thinking about death. I think I want to die. We return to God (metaphorically). It is sublime. I don't believe in an afterlife. None of that seems to make sense to me. I cannot find any meaning in my existence. I really want to find meaning but it's difficult. At the moment the main thing I find meaning in is my family. They would be very sad without me. And I love them. I've never been good with friends. Something just makes me averse to the whole thing. I don't particularly like communicating. I just can't wait for it all to be over. What a relief that will be. Is life supposed to be enjoyable? The vast majority of humans who have ever existed would disagree with that. They lived and died in suffering. That is what I will do. But it will be suffering of my own making. I don't see how I can avoid that. Fuck it. It doesn't matter anyway.
