I've been having recurrent panic attacks from mid-October. I haven't properly read anything since then except for a few short stories written by F.S.F. I haven't written either. I keep drinking to the point of insomnia and self-destruction. I stopped smoking but that is inconsequential. My panic attacks keep getting worse. They are insufferable. I had to take time off work. I've been given a prescription now to combat my depression and anxiety. I just want to get back to reading and writing. I thought I had been making progress but these new mental conditions are dousing my soul and creativity.

How radical is it to think that current (a least American) society has been hollowed out by pleasure entirely? We've become more specialized in our skills and narrowed in our goals for the sole pursuit of cash.

It started with a thought: what if institutions today are hollow shells of their former selves, staffed with various shades of unwitting neoliberals? Example: Chinese infiltration of American institutions is simply because the important defenders no longer have complex interests like patriotism, racism, pride, paranoia, depression, or hatred. What if it's just easier to let the markets take their course? Everyone gets a little richer, little fatter, and a little less sharp.

We can apply this notion to anything really. Privacy, speech, free association give way to job security, access to technology, reputation-derived dopamine, etc.. All non-nuanced pursuits of pleasure.

I just need to know that things are different now, and any good will is coattail ridden.

Aristotle’s The Metaphysics filtered me last night. Had no problem whatsoever with Plato or A’s Ethics+Politics, but legit did not understand any of his arguments about metaphysics. I’ve got a long reading list and I buy books in advance, so I flipped open to a random chapter in A Critique of Pure Reason to see if there was any hope for me, and I could understand what Kant was saying (at least what I read). When I try to read any part of Metaphysics it’s legit like I’m reading another language, like I do not understand a single sentence. What the fuck?

Anyways, skipping Metaphysics for now and I’m moving on to the Stoics and then the Roman Christian theologians. I hope Aquinas can shed some light on Aristotle for me.

Things aren't going great with my girlfriend. There have been arguments, secrets, hurt feelings. There have been a lot of tears. There's strain on our relationship. I sleep in fits from the stress. I feel shame for having hurt her deeply. Yet a not insignificant part of me is taking some joy in the whole experience. I haven't had many relationships, and what I have had have never lasted long. I feel like I am finally experiencing something every other normal person experiences. I feel experienced, I can relate to my friends. I'm an adult human being.

I think I might've passed the point of no return for my social life. I'm in university, and last year was the best for me socially. I was massively depressed, but I had some close friends I saw a lot and met many acquaintances through them. Never really went out, but we were all massive nerds anyway so I did;t mind at all. even had a long-distance gf. Over the summer I ended the relationship, and this term only a handful of my friend moved back to university. I didn't mind, since I was used to being single and I'd never had more than two-five friends in my life before last year anyway. Thing is, my friends have stopped talking to me. No idea why. we didn't have an argument, we still (seemingly) had a good time the last time we hung out over a month ago. So at this point I have no social connections. I spend all day every day alone aside from when I go home for the holidays. I guess my concern is this; if I'm completely alone in university, the easiest time in one's life for making friends, am I doomed to live alone forever? I've never been social, so my lack of initiative in seeing my friends more probably contributed to my current situation. even so, I would still lie to have a friend or two, and maybe even start a family one day. seems like that's out the window, though. aside from the anomaly that was last year, I've been sliding more and more into antisocial tendencies my whole life. I knew that I would eventually end up completely alone aside from seeing my parents/sibilings on holidays eventually since that's the logical endpoint of the general trends of my life. I guess I just didn't expect it to happen so soon. I could well have 70+ years of isolation ahead of me.

It's not just pursuit of pleasure in general, it's the fact that the expectation of pleasure is now embedded at the instinct level so that every person effectively has ADHD and is constantly fiending for a cigarette of stimulation. Supply meets demand, and the market churns out forms of stimulation that are smaller, more parcelled-up, more bite-sized. The loop between craving-hit-craving-hit-craving-hit is getting tighter, shorter, more binary.

These basic drives and instincts are supposed to be built up into complexes of behavior, with holistic and emergent properties, ultimately forming a personality with life goals etc. Instead, we are "atomizing" down to our most basic pleasure-seeking drives, until all the machinery of our evolved consciousness exists only to satisfy the craving-hit-craving-hit loop in as rapid an alternation as possible.

This makes our higher conscious functions vestigial, especially all the unactivated, merely potential ones that are lying dormant. We're at a real risk of dying as a species this century and giving birth to something much uglier, some kind of hybrid of animal and machine that probably exists to service a larger machine, whether that is literally mechanical or distributed and cybernetical.

My bet is that a subhuman beige worker class will emerge, like the deltas in Brave New World who only want their fix of soma, and these will be ruled by a cognitive "elite" (probably retarded by mid-20th century standards, but smarter than the deltas) descended from the present oligarchic class. Basically Brazil on steroids: if you are on the favela side of the tracks, your offspring will become more animal, and if you are on the oligarch side, your offspring will regress to midwit level (think the typical college-educated but useless functionary from a well-off family) but rule over them in an unquestioned neo-feudal arrangement. This elite will itself be integrated into a cybernetic global structure of some kind, but one that isn't very interesting, just despotic and stagnant.

Still being ignored by my close friend. I sent her a snap of a poem I knew she would like this morning, but she didn't bother to open it or the message I sent her on Monday. The worst part is not knowing what the hell I did for her to start ignoring me, since we had plans on Sunday and then I just never heard from her. I had a conversation with my best friend of 10 years earlier and he basically told me that he isn't interested in talking to me beyond acquaintance level anymore because of his inability to forgive me for something I did last year (which wasn't even that bad). My mom is very sick and isn't showing any signs of improving. I took off of school this semester to help care for her. I don't feel like I have anyone to talk to right now and it hurts

I wrote a long poem today to take my mind off things. It had been sitting in my mind for the past couple weeks, so it felt good to get it down on paper. I think it's pretty decent, with a few nice lines, but it needs a lot of work. Normally I would show my friend who is ignoring me for feedback, since she really likes my poetry. Feels kinda bad that I can't really get feedback on it from anyone

In a couple days im doing 7 grams of shrooms, in one last ditch attempt to just get some help, I admit i havent tried everything possible to fix my default state of depression, but i have done a lot, the most recent being antidepressants themselves which just made me feel numb so of course i quit, and im going back to the only thing i know that helps from experience in the past, at the very least i feel better for a couple months after the trip.

I will go to the dessert here in my city las vegas, and do them alone, going way off trail on a hike. No plans, no technology, no people, im just going to sit there and do nothing, see what happens. Friends say be careful, but I find myself scoffing and have chosen to not tell anyone the day or time im doing them. But have warned them incase my behavior after changes at all.

I think back to the times i did them in the past, the first when i was 17 and a young lad, a good time with some friends, I cried from happiness and all I remember was feeling that I didn't deserve the pure bliss, the second, last year, 18, december, when i was just as depressed as I am now, I cried to god for forgiveness from sins, repentance. It helped until I fell back to addictions and vices again after some months. And as time went on, this sense of hopelessness got worse and worse, to bring me right here, right now, 20, december again, if this doesn't help, im not sure what ill do, its scary to think about it so I stop there in the train.

The second trip brought me feelings of hope, for a short tine I believed everything would be okay in the end. But my impatience won.

They say when you do psychedelics be in a good headspace, but such a thing is pretty rare for me.

I have my own theories as to the why for such a poor mental state, maybe shrooms allow me to cope for some time so i don't make an effort ti change.

Seems like nothing more than a big LARP to me.

These new protestors don't seem to scare anyone other than the small business owners who get caught in the crossfire. They don't have any goals, they're not trying to burn down government buildings or bomb politicians. All their protests amount to is going out into the street and acting like the scary guys from 50 years ago in order to convince some politician to say the right words on TV.

I have been falling sort of in love with an artist for a while. At first I only cared about the art but in time I also got to like the person. We are close in age which is not the youngest. It's very unpleasant to feel like this because I know it's just daydreaming. There are probably massive differences in mindset, socio/economic class, and other things that I wouldn't want to deal with even if it were just about reaching out and talking. I have little human resources to offer, so it would be silly either way without working on myself first.
So not only I realize I have completely stopped believing in these things but I also have to exorcise this stubborn ghost of an emotion that I never wanted before it starts living rent free in my head, and stifling it is somewhat painful nonetheless. Thankfully I hate the whole parasocial relationship thing and there's no way I would compromise to something like that. I've been going through a few things like this in the past years and every time I have come out hardened, and not in a good way. I am only soft with animals at this point.

Similar to this anon, I don't want to whine about the things I don't control, but it feels nice to vent. I'd also like to note that I'm writing this from the perspective of an American, so it may not be applicable in other situations.

As a citizen of a representative democracy, I feel as though that the average person is not properly represented by the living fossils at the podiums, and is disrespected by their superiors on the regular. It angers me to see elderly people working when they should be retired. It pains me when people working constant overtime are still unable to afford to progress. I hate how the path to happiness feels pre-paved and doesn't leave wiggle room. You will never own a home or land if you're not born middle-class and up, and even that's a stretch. You will be forced into the wage cycle and sucked dry to make rent. You will be subjected to the full extent of the surveillance state. Your taxes will fund these invasions of privacy, while schools will remain massively underfunded, ensuring that the future youth are too stupid to ask if this is how life should be. To add to this, nobody wants to make themselves uncomfortable with this question, because we would have to ask ourselves if there's something more worth doing than watching the Sunday game or arguing if Democrat or Republican is the way to go. Life for the average man has turned into bread and circuses, and we're all too distracted to even question the audacity of those sitting at the top.

Capitalism is inherently nihilistic.
It's all about making money so you can buy stuff so you can make money so you can buy stuff until the day you die.
Make no mistake, things like better medicine, space travel, art, technology, better understanding of science, better education, etc only come as a result of being profitable.
The "benefits" of capitalism are only a side effect. If they cease to be profitable, such as with Big Pharma focusing on making treatments that just suppress the symptoms of disease instead of curing them to keep patients buying their overpriced medicine, then they won't get anymore funding.

>Dude, capitalism has lifted millions out of poverty!
Take 3 people: Sanjeet, Joao and Cletus.
Sanjeet is a homeless child living in Mumbai, India. He lives and sleeps on a pile of garbage. Sanjeet lives on less than a dollar a day.
Joao lives in Sao Paolo, Brazil. He lives in a favela. His house is made of corrugated metal and other assorted trash. He lives on more than a dollar a day.
Cletus lives in West Virginia, USA. He lives in a trailer park. He lives on more than a dollar a day.
There might be less Sanjeets living in the world today, yet the number of Joaos and Cletuses has either remained the same, or increased.
Saying that capitalism is reducing poverty because there's less people living on less than a dollar today is incredibly misleading because there's LEVELS of poverty.
I don't want to live like a hobo or Sanjeet, but I also certainly don't want to live like Cletus or Joao. And with the shrinking of the middle-class, more people are going to be living like the latter two while capital is accumulated in fewer hands.

It's of great interest to me that Adam Smith is upheld as the prophet of free market capitalism when he was one of the most explicit critics of what is happening today and made a note to mention how the system he was describing could degenerate into what it is now. He has more in common with Marx than any neoliberal apologist. The evidence for this is overwhelming. The so called father of capitalism was not shy about listing everything that was fucked up about it.

Where to begin. First of all, Smith needs to be situated within the context of enlightenment philosophes. He was good friends with philosopher David Hume for over 20 years. Adam Smith was not like these economists of the modern day who were on the payroll of multibillion dollar investment banks. He was a seeker after the truth. He thought of himself as a moral philosopher, modeling himself after his friend and inspiration Hume. Alongside his great work o economics The Wealth of Nations, he also published a work of moral philosophy, The Theory of Moral Sentiments. He was not creating a system but describing one. He wanted to know what's up.
Modern arguments about capitalism versus socialism seem like childish games compared to the depth and sophistication of his thinking. He was not restrained by these distinctions.

Probably most of all the way that Smith differs from modern day capitalism is that he stressed the moral element. He was concerned about what would cause the most amount of benefit for the most people, not about what would make the most profit or concentrate the most capital. He viewed the police as unjust defendes of private property. He didn't view the "invisible hand" as some all knowing, ideal economic problem solver , but as a chaotic and unpredictable force . He wrote about how various class interests would conspire to game the system. He understood that capitalist processes would result in an unstable concentration of wealth and property in the hands of the few, while making others prosperous as a side effect and coincidence.

From the way you write, it sounds like Adam Smith was something more akin to a distributist rather than a capitalist in modern parlance: private ownership of goods is a good thing and should be given to all men, but we should make pains not to have wealth too concentrated in one area over the other lest in order to promote the common good, which is the ultimate goal of economics, not the infinite accumulation of profits.

I'm concerned that the requirement of a perpetual underclass is an intrinsic feature of all human society. That it comes about from human nature itself.

But it seems to me that there is no period of significant human civilization that has come and gone without slavery, serfdom or dominance and subjugation to the extreme. I simply don't believe that we are capable of allowing equality, not capable of wanting it in earnest, en masse.

Something I wrote at work last night

A bowl shattered in two surrounding the cacophony of motors and rubber. The concrete and metal with living fillaments inside, keeping its inhabitants warm and safe for their enjoyment. These miniature towers which symbolize our achievements, are icons of our present time. Yet there are few who see these icons as burdensome and resent what they mean, for all they see is the rubble of their future. There can be no certainty whether these symbols shall fall eitger violently or peacefully.

All is uncertain except that half shattered bowl. Its dark so deep, it fills one who sees with comfort and imagination. The bowl of rock, or the bowl of something beyond our imagination. The one thing this half shattered bowl brings is that feeling of awe.

The bowl can't distract from the horrendous feelings. The feelings of lustful sympathy for a girl who lives and loves on the inside like the lowest. This bowl I wish could truly bring me away.

The bowl has comrades, its shattered pieces some as dark and some lighter, only lit by that last glimpse of sun behind, as it retreats into the mountains. For this sun knows these thoughts and feelings of demons comes now.

The thoughts of the lowly girl shant be true, for they are brought upon lust. The lust comes from bellows where desire boils. I shant ever know where thoughts and feelomgs come from, the lens used to peer into this wretched canyon changes every cosmic hour.

Learn to understand the reason they do/say what they do/say. I.e. stop picking the comfortable route of "xd they just le stupid xdd." Figure out the reason. Trace it to an origin you can calmly accept. If you can't rationalize it to an extent where you can accept it without irritation then you are too lazy/stupid to understand and need to work harder. This isn't my advice, it's Plato's, Nietzsche's, Goethe's, Spinoza's, Tolstoy's, really just about everybody worth listening to will tell you the same: If you understood it you'd forgive it.

I really wish someone had impressed more strongly on me the importance of getting out of your autism hole at as young an age as possible. I'm just making progress now at the age of 23. While I don't think it's over for me I do think it's going to be a lot harder than if I had done it in college, or more preferable in high school. You have all the time in the world when you're in school, and countless opportunities to socialize with people in your cohort. Now, even absent covid, I can easily go months without meeting someone new my own age. It sucks.

I had so many chances too (tfw got asked out by a qt girl who then moped for weeks after I sperged out and turned her down), but I was too afraid and retreated back into my comfort zone. If there's one thing I've learned it's that fear is a meme, it's all in your head bitch (only in your head, so forget your head and you'll be freeeeeeee).

That was the motivation for taking a break from the internet for me. I realized I was using it to forget about real-life problems. The issue is that once I determined what steps I need to take, and took the initial ones, the problem became largely out of my hands and depends on cooperation from others for at least the next part, which won't happen until 1-2 weeks from now at least.

That's the difficulty. I'm a one-track minded person so this stuff is always painful, but since the issue is mental illness and it prevents me from enjoying life like a normal person, all these books and games I have feel pointless when I can't invest any hope in them to make me feel happier. In literal terms, the main pleasure I get from my hobbies isn't what they are in themselves, but being able to divest hope in them to make me happier. This is why they're so effective at distracting me from the true problem.

I suppose as I allow myself to keep up with working on my true goal, indulging in whatever time-wasting activity should be fine, but as soon as it takes precedence over it then I'd have to stop. That sounds reasonable.

I think the degree of recognition is correlated to the degree of exportability. Street vendors can sell tacos, pho, kebabs quite easily, as they only require a basic stove.

The only hippie renaissance occurring today is the widespread acceptance of psychedelics and marijuana by the government, academia, the entertainment industry, and idiots. Which imo is a huge red flag.

>they actually scared their gov'ts
As if their governments weren't involved in their "grassroot" movements to begin with. Its not absurd to conclude, given what we know about Project Monarch, MK Ultra, and Operation Midnight Climax, that at least the US intel agencies were deeply involved in the "counterculture" movement. I see the 60s counterculture movement as an orchestrated effort by the deep state to divide the population from within using drugs and ideologies that benefit the establishment.

dude, you're buggin. nixon started the war on drugs specifically to crack down on counter culture hippies. moreoever, i remember in the 90s some dickhead like colon powell bitching that ever since the 60s the us military had to deal with a permanent anti-military subculture ever since vietnam. the reason "the left" stopped caring about wages and materialist shit was because in the 60s the us economy was literally peaking, so no one cared about labory shit, meanwhile rich kids were at risk of getting shipped off to asia to get smoked by non-larping communists, so the antagonistic counter culture changed its focus

And look at how the counterculture movement benefitted the establishment by allowing them a way to create a domestic war against drugs. The gov't played a role in the counterculture movement that's undeniable. The gov't was not scared of the hippies; the hippies were a useful way for the gov't to issue far-reaching policies to restrict the liberty of its people. Not only that, but what's a more effective way of defanging your citizens by addicting them to drugs, and then punishing them for using said drugs with prison sentences and fines. I don't disagree with what you've said. I guess you have to explain to me why I'm buggin.

>To experience anything is a paranormal supernatural experience.
This is true. This is why "the hard problem of consciousness" is cringe, and I don't use that word lightly. To try to systematize and classify qualia as a "problem" that can be "solved" is The Cringe Problem of Science. I cannot take empiricism seriously as long as people unironically keep insisting that "nothing" is "gained" by Mary seeing the color red for the first time after having only studied it.

you're buggin because it's not true. "the establishment' did not create hippy culture just so they could crack down on hippy culture. that makes no sense. all of the fbi files from the 60s are open today, go read what they were thinking for yourself

I got my bachelor's in EE at a random shit uni, and it was easy and I did well enough to get into a pretty good uni for a masters in a more specific field.

To me, it seems like there really is a difference between shit unis and good unis, and if I say the reasons they might seem trivial but they aren't. It's not just that your peers are smarter, and it's not just that there's more funding for better labs, but that the homework is way more difficult and they are not willing to make it any easier. It takes me a full week of non-stop work to finish an assignment at a nicer uni, in every class. I can't just do it in a couple hours the night before, which was the case with every single assignment I had (even semester long projects) for my bachelors.

It's as if shit unis are so desperate to appease students that they will bend backwards to make everything as easy as possible. Even if something is technically difficult, like an exam, which they won't change, they will give you all the answers to identical problems. This just doesn't happen at the better uni I'm going to. You are forced to learn through assignments, which then puts you in a position to do well on exams. I learned so much this semester compared to the years prior to this

I didn't say they created hippy culture. I said they played a role in it. But if you can point me in a direction to find the files I would like to read them.

yeah that seems to be a common story in modern romance these days.

I went on this date with a girl this past august that I thought went perfectly. She invited me back to her place to hang out afterwards and everything. We continue texting for a while and her responses start coming in slower and slower. It got to a point where she'd reply to my message a week later. Then, fully ghosted.

It's sad, but you gotta keep your chin up. If she spent time with you at all, that means she must have appreciated you to some degree. Even then though, your value isn't determined by what others think.

and id like to add that, as >>17076757 said, the fact that she messaged you at all is skepticism towards any doubt you might have about yourself. she wouldn't have wasted time on you if she didn't see something in you, and the fact that she STOPPED messaging you over nothing is skepticism against any rebuttal that she wasn't necessarily ever interested in you in the first place. personally i know i will never be able to hold a conversation with a woman long enough to get under clothing, even though on tinder, i get women that message ME first, somehow, before i crash and burn 5 messages later, and the self-confidence that gives me is the only thing t hat keeps me going in life.

just be happy it ever happened imo

I feel nauseated whenever I read about what a mess dating in 2020+0 is, these replies are insane. I'm just going to see if I happen to meet a nice girl and fall in love, if not I'll just double down on the spiritual path. I'll have no part of this nonsense.

The US government clearly subverted the counterculture, that much is obvious. I find it easier to believe that the subversion was a reaction against a genuinely unruly public, rather than an elaborate double bluff that was all planned from the start. I don't think the CIA niggers knew what they were doing when they gave random college kids LSD, but that didn't stop their successors from taking advantage of the fuck-up. Pic very much related.
