Being a misogynist is a condition that implies being a revolutionary. It is only necessary to see which genre is the one that follows in a more generalized and fervent way each and every one of the degenerate fashions promoted by the system. There are no exceptions, which at least does happen with men. Our genre concentrates the worst and the best. the most radical and those with the greatest talent and potential. Females cluster much more around mediocrity of conscience and spirit.

After rewatching blade runner I had the idea of writing a sci fi in the first person a la Bernhard. So basically its a rant of how fucked up everything is in the future, and just the narrator going off into random thought experiments and philosophizing. Here's what I wrote so far, doesn't amount to much:

a treatise on everything gone wrong

Where does one begin, when accounting for the fuck ups of the present? It is bleak and ever getting bleaker. I only began to be dimly aware of the atrocities of today only after finding an old corrupt hard disk that I happened to stumble upon in some trodden outcast path. It was full of dust when I found it, and only began to work after many trials. It contains an archive of the entire internet at that time, and the past of that passed time. In a word, history (a word that was prior unknown to me).

Two weeks ago I was at a bar and I had a wonderful interaction with a woman a few years younger than me. We initially hoped to get some late-night food, but the places she wanted to go were closed. She lives in another state, and she had to fly home the next morning.

A week ago, I texted her, and she texted me back and seemed very happy to hear from me, and she mentioned that she wanted to come back to my city as soon as she could.

Today, I texted her again, and she again responded and said she was happy to see me. She mentioned that she had been doing a lot of traveling, so that's why she was not always available. But she again mentioned that she was eager to get back to my city. Also, I mentioned that we might consider doing a video call or a video chat, and she seemed open to the idea, even saying that I should get a hold of her next week.

Do I dare hope this is something that might actually go somewhere? I feel like the fact that she has been willing to keep texting me for weeks now is a good sign. But I've been burned before.

Americans are so strange to me. Particularly the younger ones. The type of things they get enthusiastic about is so weird - like school spirit, for example. I just watched a video from a high school pep rally and it's really alien. In my country no one could give a fuck about school and if you had any enthusiasm you were a massive loser. I've been to parties with Americans too and the way they get enthusiastic for the concept of a party is also strange to me. Hard to explain exactly what I mean, but it's a different type of enthusiasm. I mean maybe it'd be kinda nice to be around less apathetic and cynical people, I guess.

I finally started having fun when I decided to stop going to school. I started doing drugs and ditching class. I found a group of miscreants to hang out with, and my grades were barely good enough to graduate.

Watching videos != experiencing American life.
That being said this spirit is usually a fake mask people put on. Americans are rarely genuine. However, American parties are pure fun. The ones I have been to that turned into ragers have been extremely memorable and enjoyable. Of course they are just brainless hedonism distracting you from life, but everyone opens up in their own way and there is always fun stuff happening.

I did an exchange in America and while that's not the same as growing up there I did experience it 'first hand'. I'm not actually criticising the culture, it's just weird compared to my home country. I'm not sure it's something an American can 'see' unless they have spent some time out of their own country. Although it doesn't apply to everyone of course, nothing ever does.

I'm a practicing Catholic and I have become strongly convinced that the Sacrament of Confession is one of the greatest gifts God has ever given mankind. I think He gave it to us to help us be sane. I suppose He could have us confess our sins and receive absolution for them in some other way. But I think He knew that it is good for us to speak our crimes out loud, and our evils out loud, and to be stricken of them out loud by a human voice.

Do you ever consider that therapy, psychiatry, is a kind of hollow pantomime of Confession? The therapist stands in for the priest. But the therapist lacks the power that the priest has through God. The therapist cannot act In Persona Christi. He cannot absolve, he can only diagnose and comment. And this is why therapy can never wield the power that Confession wields.

I'm actually tearing up thinking how happy I am to have access to Confession. It is very beautiful. Like a purifier for the soul. A washing agent.

We are not going to make it to the stars. We are not going to pass the Great Filter.

There are about 1.4 trillion barrels left in Earth's oil reserves. At current rates of extraction, that gives us about 50 years. Undiscovered oil reserves are estimated to be much smaller, only about 90 billion barrels. When the oil is gone, we can't make rocket fuel. That means we have 55 years to leave the planet and colonize another world. Obviously, that's impossible. We're fucked.

"what about oil alternatives?"
Like what? You can't refine ethanol into rocket fuel.

"what about nuclear energy?"
We will probably run out of uranium long before we develop the tech for nuclear propulsion.

You asked for this:
>I’ve been thinking about lightbulbs recently. I don’t know why, I guess it’s because it’s one of those inventions that not many people think about until one goes out in their house. They only remember it for as long as it takes to replace, and even then if it’s inconvenient they may just say fuck it and not bother replacing it.

>Another reason I think I’m thinking about them is because I’ve been thinking about that Ayn Rand book we had to read in AP Literature, Anthem. It’s a scary book to me, honestly. The thought of that amount of regression is outright haunting. I remember someone I class saying that his creation of the lightbulb being so important was stupid, and that made me think about rediscovery. Like, how many kids make discoveries like that? How many times has the lightbulb been reinvented, or something even as simple as a basic clay bowl? And does that make them stupid for thinking it’s new or unique? I don’t think so. I think it’s probably a sign that you’re just as smart, if not more so, as the person or people who invented what you thought you invented.

>That WEBM gave me an idea. Is being horny a conscious decision? Can you choose to be horny, or does your body decide that for you? Same question for love.

If not, they will cling to their dying planet until they finally go extinct, their population limited by the amount of fertile soil left on the planet, no more large-scale industry and no more raw resources.

If I had never been terminally online since 2015 and had never been indoctrinated, I would probably be dating an average East Asian woman right now, still only listening to DnB, "chillstep" or shoegaze. I would probably still be drinking energy drinks regularly. I would probably only watch popular anime, no real art. Would still be a VSauce fan, but would be too lazy to deal with science in depth. I would do some creative stuff now and then, some animations but that's it. I probably would have become something like a mediocre storm/rain photographer. Mainly my job, low T GF and riding my bike in nature. No intellectual challenge, almost no politics.
Without all the context, I would be pissed, shocked and triggered by people like 4chan users. A discussion would fail right from the start. I would be too averse and the others too blindly aggressive and stupidly proud.

I can't help but feel like fascism is the most logical outcome of this whole cosmopolitan mess, at least in Europe. France or Italy will be the first examples of this. Globalism has done too much chaos and fascists will reap the benefits. Fascists are smart in a tactical sense. They know when the moment has come. Fascism likes to hide from the public until reveals itself at a moment's notice. It will be a crude mixture of führer-like politics mixed with a nationalized neoliberal economy. A second cold war with China is likely as well.

Look to China. It's the model for the rest of the world. I'm not sure if the future is fascism itself, but authoritarian is a definite. Our governments and media overlords are not concerned with wellbeing, social harmony, or happiness (obviously). Racebaiting, uncontrolled use of smartphones and the internet, and reporting of gloomy news, -- all those service the system financially and politically, but at the cost of citizen wellbeing.

Any future government that subtly and cleverly places a firm control on the internet, smartphone usage, the news cycle, is guaranteed to make the populace happier and consequently will be adored. It will also easier to address those particular issues than other more deeply ingrained problems. Of course, a government like that can't exist within the bounds of our "democratic" system.

Of course, there are still many industrial hell holes, but the same could be said of America (except in America they are filled with opiate addicts). Sure, there's no freedom of speech, but for a lot of people that's an acceptable trade off for living a safe, comfortable and relatively prosperous life.

If Americans have "murdered" millions in the middle east, beyond the (still large) number of people they have directly killed, then by what metric do you stop looking for causation at America? Surely the Japanese are to blame for awakening America's military and industrial might. Surely the British are to blame for the establishment of America in the first place. Neanderthals were to blame for organizing groups of humans into political powers in the first place. The earth is responsible for the conditions in which life arouse on its surface. The earth itself was caused by the big bang.

My point is not that America is blameless but rather that when you engage in obvious exaggerations based on arbitrary scope broadening, your entire argument goes out the window.

You can see their prisons, therefore the CCP is being open and transparent about the number of people they have incarcerated. Have you personally scanned the surface of China on Google maps? Do you know the dimensions of jail cells? This would be important to know, since without that you can't even build a basic conception of how many people can be in a jail of a given size. Additionally, can you tell by looking at the exterior of a prison how many people are in a cell? The argument that you can gage China's prison population because """you can see their prisons""" is not just unsubstantiated. It's completely and utterly without ANY merit behind it AT ALL.

Yesterday evening me and my friends hang out at the "bar district" of my town. There was also a group of girls, which we knew (expecially my friends, I'm not that familiar with them), so we spent some time with them. Two of these girls are astonishing, dumb as rocks but really good looking. In fact, sadly one of the two had a Bf and a brawl almost started caused by that young retard. At the end everything went somewhat fine, except for a few scratches for a friend of mine, and we got home, without success with those girls.
This night, I dreamt about these girls, and I'm pretty sure it was inspired by Marcel Proust's "In the Shadow of Young Girls in Flower", where the protagonist meets a "brigade" of cute girls in the hotel where he is in vacation. Now, my dream was kinda like this book, and everything was way better than real life.In this such a fantastic dream I felt constantly a sense of satisfaction, pleasure and it was going to end with me sleeping with one of the girls. With all the respect to authors like Pessoa, but dreaming (awake or not) is fine, but I wish that events like this, where everything works fine, everything is so satisfying would happen in real life, too, that instead is so harsh and chaotic, sadly.

Highly gifted people with no ego or strong awareness of their talent are strange to me because, as a midwit, I constantly have a huge ego about the most mundane things.

>No inner voice telling them they're destined for something greater
Allow me to be an intermediary between the highly gifted and the midwits. The desire for something greater, especially from midwits, comes from the IDEA of what something "greater" even is. You believe yourself to be capable, but your position in life and confidence are antithetical to someone with any capabilities beyond the mediocre.
On the other hand, you have your "Highly-gifted" bunch. It's not that they have no ego, it's simply a matter of their competence. To you, the idea of being a head of research at some lab somewhere is rather daunting. To a person who knows they can and never had to question it, it's a matter of whether or not they can be assed to do that. Their perspective, due to competence, is one far above your own. For analogy's sake, it's the difference between standing at the foot of a mountain and looking at it's sheer size and looking down upon the mountain and visually blotting it out with your thumb.

I know people will want to jump on me for saying this, but "as a highly gifted person" my lack of ego is mostly due to my acute awareness of how much better I could be with respect to my talents where extant. Why should I congratulate myself for something I know could be done much better? Additionally, being smart doesn't necessarily mean you're better at something. I am routinely humbled by people who are ostensibly much less intelligent than I am but still manage to outperform me at certain things. On top of it all, I didn't actually have any choice when the dice rolled and I was born significantly smarter than the average person in a developed country. To me, having an attitude about your smarts is like a rich kid driving daddy's Porsche to school. I'm just the beneficiary of a set of conditions to which I, myself as the entity, have no causal connection. Having an attitude about it really doesn't make much sense to me so I try not to.

My sister is a lesbian, but from since she was a little girl was always a tomboy - refused to wear dresses, played boys sports, is now what you would call 'butch' etc. Sometimes I wonder if she had grown up as a zoomer if she would have been convinced that she was really a boy trapped in a woman's body and then been influenced into transitioning. Perhaps not, but I wonder. It's funny that it is somewhat socially acceptable for young girls to dress as boys and pursue boy activities, but if you are a boy who wants to wear dresses you are increasingly labelled 'trans', instead of what they perhaps more accurately are, which is just fags.

Last night had sex with gf and afterwards she told me she thinks I have a psychological wall about sex, and that I'm quite repressed in normal life, but a very different person if I get drunk (in a good way). Also that I have a hard time receiving any pleasure during sex, I prefer to retain control and give but not receive.

She's totally right, and I felt absolutely nothing about it, not annoyed, but weirdly unsettled. I've been weirdly anxious or off balance all day, like she's pointed out something that I now can't unsee, and I'm a bit afraid to explore it any deeper

That sucks, don't get me wrong, but it's not all bad. You know there are exceptional people out there – that's worth something – and you might find another exception again. And with the God thing, atleast the world is good enough to let us know we're doing something wrong. So, atleast there is hope – maybe not in attaining what we're looking for, but in knowing that we're looking at it.

If you find good friends they will challenge you in ways that make you a better person. And of course you are judged, we are a social species and the norm is to have friends. Expressing that you don't care about friends is like saying that you don't want kids, it is not wrong per se but it is outside of the norm so it is unavoidable that people will judge you.

The number of professors I had who used their positions to try to shove their world view down their class's throats in a low-key or even obvious fashion causes me to retroactively appreciate the ones who didn't more. Something like half of them knew little to nothing about the subject matter that they were teaching. I still remember the stupid bitch who thought Iran's Cossack Brigade was a Kazakh Brigade. I remember her getting into an argument with a conservative Muslim girl because the professor was a progressive Muslim who really pushed her view of Islam as progressive and the student was a conservative Muslim who flat out did not agree with her and the professor tried to push Islam as a progressive force down the class's throat and did not like getting push back. In retrospect a lot of these people should have been fired for incompetence alone.

Let's get this over with. Food for thoughts (after this post, you'll allowed to skip Nietzsche): Man is mostly muscle; symbolically speaking, he is nothing but – unless he's unhealthy. For a muscle to grow, it has to be used, and the weight lifted has to increase steadily. Training involves two types of pain: necessary pain and pain that is a hindrance; the former occurs wherever intense force pushes the body into a greater strength; the latter is a sign of false technique, of chronic weakness, of unreasonable load. Living heroically says the same as pumping iron – only one speaks to the muscle, while the other speaks to the man.

what this >>18160838 anon is trying to say is that you're either a bitch or you aren't.
The reason why I workout is that I've given myself to a higher ideal - God, Génos (in greek) and Nature. I will fulfill my Telos and working out is just a means to the ends. Not to mention I reading alot is a part of the process.

Anyone know what it’s like to spend several years projecting an image of yourself that you actually don’t even like.

I think if you knew most of the people who knew me for a period of time, they’d tell you I line X, Y, and Z and was like A even though none of that is actually true. I kind of hate myself for that.

I might become an expat to Japan unironically. When I was a teen I thought that would never be me, but I learned the language and discovered it's way easier to get girls there than here, and I think I'm more attracted to them than most girls here so it works out. When I was a teenager, I thought, "I don't want to be a stereotype", but after growing up a little I honestly don't care about that, do what makes you happy since you only live once. Also being a foreigner is a convenient excuse for my poor social skills so it works out.

I guess my anxiety is not being able to find a good partner. I was talking with someone earlier who's been to Japan a few times and actually rejected girls because it seemed like they just wanted sex. And I thought, oh shit, that's true. Sex is good but only sex is boring. And I wonder what percent of those people interested in foreigners are only in it for the sex. So for that reason it sounds potentially difficult. No one wants a girl who just sees them as an object. I kinda want an energetic young gf but I dunno if I could land that

(cont.) I'm in the middle of a degree right now and it's not looking good honestly, I withdrew from 3/4 of my classes last Fall and I owe my uni a bunch of money. If I didn't screw around I could have graduated in 2021 but now it's looking like late 2023 at the soonest. Yeah I could use the depression excuse, it's true, but honestly I powered through a semester while depressed and it didn't kill me. Felt like shit for a while, but I got my credits. To me it already feels like I've done enough, but not finishing college at this point would be retarded and really screw up my future. So there's honestly no other option but to buckle up, pay the uni what I owe, and gear up for a few more years. Of course I won't enjoy it. But I have to do it.

I was on the verge of giving up my future. I wanted to drop out several times. But I still look at my life and think, I can really turn this around. If I just graduate, I have a great degree so I can genuinely live overseas. I'll make it. I have everything I need to make it. My body is healthy, my mind is capable. If I don't do it, isn't it a waste? Isn't it pitiable? When you're that close to success, you can't just quit. That's what I think. So I'll force myself to continue, even if I hate it for a while. If I make it to Japan, I'll be 25-26 at the youngest. That's still young, right? And then I'll have made it.

I was 17 when I noticed that the people around me were strange. I'm 28 now. I was special and so were my friends. Back when it still meant something to be special. Today you are special when you walk over a roof and almost die and upload it on the internet, or someone who has a lot of money or who has social recognition. It's so ridiculous, it feels like the world has gotten even more insane than it was before, especially here on /lit/ almost everyone is disabled. Knowledge in itself no longer has any value. Knowledge is mocked because it has become a matter of course because of the easy access and boring everyday life. Everyone behaves as if it were a meme and nothing could be changed about it anyway. I don't know who are behind it, but if it's students, then I would like to say; I deeply detest you, you cannot imagine how much I despise you. Everyone feels cool these days, but I still remember how it was back then. Not that I mourn the past, that's not what I mean, but I still saw the world as it really was. When the internet wasn't spread like a virus. I've seen your real face and it's within me, in my intuition. The new generation has no idea what intuition I have, because they were born in chaos, in a fake world, in a meme world.

Many know what I am talking about and when I address it, it triggers some because it's still somewhere in them. They know that I'm right, but they've already adapted too much to the new world, to this fake world, so that it is not constantly recalled. But the elderly here will never completely forget the real world.

I just want to keep my inner balance. I want to be free from the cancer, free from this fake image of our reality. I have found a solution, but many are blind and they stay that way until life pushes them to their limits for years. I hope that it will then still be possible to find a solution. Because I have the feeling that the world is slowly going crazy.

/lit/ has gotten so bad that I wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for answers. It's not a place to learn anything, not in this state. And it's only getting worse, the younger ones are getting more and more ruthless and inconsiderate and soon it's all just one big meme. Until then everyone goes crazy and then it bangs. BAM!

I don't have a job, but I've always had good friends, which means I have a connection to the outside world, I'm still "normal" if you can put it that way. I also partied for 3 years and met a lot of people. So I'm not an internet freak, I have a lot of experience in real life and on the internet. Perhaps this fact adds a little bit of value to what I said.
