I've stopped writing poems. I have nothing more that needs to be written and it would drop the quality if I were to force myself to write. The only problem is that I miss the act of writing poems. I thought about journaling but there's nothing artistic about it so I've not considered it further. I have strongly considered creative prose like short stories or even novellas but that takes a great deal of planning and plotting and I don't believe that I have the attention span for something high quality.

Before responding, please realize this is not a mental block. Some might conflate my poetry situation with writer's block but the two are different. Writer's block is more about a failure to get the ball rolling. For my situation, on the other hand, I could write about anything but it would have no substance and would not result in a sense of joy, pride, or relief in any way.

Similar experiences and alternative suggestions wanted.

anon if you lack the muse you can only mechanically pump out poetry or anything but it won't have soul. Nothing wrong with not wriitng as you have nothing left to say and ideally people would only write if they had something to say.

I suggest maybe experiencing more in life as that may prompt you to write poetry but take it easy and enjoy shifting what it means to be yourself and hopefully you find another passion.

My big goal along just following a passion of mine is to help the actual writers and artists that /lit/ holds. The /lit/ quarterly left a shit taste in my mouth because it published so much dogshit that wasn’t from here either. Too much shit gets publicity and I’d at least like to help authors I think are good. Most booktubers are fags as well and I’d hate to be associated with people like Walden so at most it would just be my voice and I’d try to take a more academic/serious approach over the more popular (and ultimately more successful) route of others. I doubt I’ll get popular or even get multiple subscribers but as long as I feel fulfilled.

What you describe reminds me of Kraut's channel on YT. Though I don't know much about the subject matters that he explores, I still find his vids pretty engaging. Same with Fantano on needledrop. This is just me going out on a limb, but I think if you can make content that's both an insightful and satisfying experience, then you're already off to a strong start. This is all just a fraction of the bigger picture though. I say spending a year making and experimenting with content, and doing trial & error until you find something that you feel is a good fit is just the best way to go about it. Good luck to you, and I hope you achieve what you're aiming for an then some.

‘If you think about it I knew more about him than you ever did’ - the joker baby

I like this quote because the day I broke down and wanted to die was the day my entire life and my problems actually all were put into a spectacle for everyone to see. On that day I was a)crying for my mum and b) being a pest to the woman who was kind enough to help me.

From those two displays, my dilemmas with this country’s normal functioning humans would be obvious to everyone. I have a weird relationship where I don’t let my family close but constantly depend on them as the very essence of who I am.. and I have a strange need to escape from everything using the dopamine gained from porn. Which is why even with a serious thing like my life and consciousness breaking down, violently bleeding away towards the end.. I still wanted to touch that woman’s leg and so I distracted my fear of death by placing my hand on her leg while she concerned with my safety, sat bedside me on the wayside while the ambulance was on its way.

i have come to the conclusion that in the long term, money is the ultimate IQ filter. obviously trust fund babies may not be that bright, but they probably inherited it from someone who was and if these trust fund babies have managed to retain such wealth without spending it on stupid shit for so long, then they must have some wisdom in them.

a genuinely intelligent fellow who remains poor in the long-term though, well, i can't think of any example if they are genuinely intelligent. someone smart must simply be smart enough to make themselves wealthy, unless they simply do not care about wealth -- but then what long-term metric could be used to gauge them from someone who is simply incredibly lazy and not fruitful? thus we resolve the paradox by saying that "smart but lazy" is a nonsensical oxymoron

and on a macro scale, this can be seen in the sheer discrepancies between the wealth of different countries if one examines the intelligence and lifestyles of their inhabitants

Not all intellectual pursuits pay. Also you have to factor in how the wealth have all sorts of educational advantages. The spawn of the elite for example have an easier time getting into top collages because their parents basically pay for tutors to do all their homework and if that fails, bribe the schools to let them in. This gives the faulty appearance of merit when really the rich kid is just as clueless as the poor kid all else being equal.

You yourself say that some intelligent people might just not care about making money.

>unless they simply do not care about wealth -- but then what long-term metric could be used to gauge them from someone who is simply incredibly lazy and not fruitful? thus we resolve the paradox by saying that "smart but lazy" is a nonsensical oxymoron

Why should money be the only measure of intelligence when it should be someone intellectual and cognitive output? Also consider for example the gifted mathematician who chooses to work in theoretical physics, which doesn't pay, when he could easily become a "quant" in finance and make money. It's the same person with the same degree of intelligence. What differs is what he chooses to value.

Socrates has some wise things to say about wealth.

>Wealth does not bring about excellence (areté) but excellence brings about wealth and all other public and private blessings for men.

>Are you not ashamed of your eagerness to possess as much wealth, reputation, and honors as possible, while you do not care for nor give thought to wisdom or truth, or the best possible state of your soul?

>Prefer knowledge to wealth, for the one is transitory, the other perpetual.

THE END IS NIGH FRIENDS!
After countless hours at the computer typing away, I am being hoisted away from my NEETdom and thrust back into the world of both education and employment. I didn't accomplish nearly as much as I'd hoped this summer, but I managed to lay out the thousands of ideas I have in a cohesive map. Not only that, but I've spent the last week mulling over marketing tactics and ways I can fund my borderline autism as I go balls to the wall in both an artistic and corporate sense. I've already got plans for 6 major releases by the end of the year under two primary pseudonyms, along with a handful of multi-year projects under their own titles that will continue to be introduced to the public as the year progresses.
Today was equally enlightening, as not only have I discovered the perfect alias for a series of books I've been working on since June (105k words in the first one so far) but I've also received near-divine inspiration to continue to push forward. So much will slow me down in the coming months, but not a single thing will stop me. Media consumption and creation will be my primary focus even with my studies and work. Those, after all, are just tools to get me to where I need to go.
The people around me keep calling me "crazy" or "insane" for trying all of this. But I have to, otherwise I fear the world outside myself will destroy me. And I refuse to be destroyed.

It doesn't define intelligence. Past 120iq, your IQ has no effect on your socio-economic outcome, and the socio-economic stratum you were raised in is more likely a determination of success. Basically you can be born poor with superior skills, and you're not likely to change socio-economic status. Likewise, you can be born literally retarded and if your parents were rich, it will be just as hard for you to lose it as it would be to climb. The downside for you will being inescapably middle class.

You don't "become" a daoist or a buddhist. I don't think that's what it's really about. You incorporate modes of living and thinking that bring you at peace with the order of the world. That's it.

By the way, something cool I learned while in Taiwan is that daoism is universally considered a practice for old people, past their active prime of their life, and retiring into a passive caste of observers and advice-givers. That really gave me a lot of insight.

Probably because Tomberg went from being anthroposophical hermetic to a Catholic later on and "look how Catholic I am" Catholics like to collect these anecdotes (they also love deathbed conversions of famous figures) and claim them as victories for their team.

what I'm saying is I think this is hard to do entirely from books. it's the old Guenonian observation, it's good to have someone help steer you through. Or it's possible that I'm just too chicken for the implications of the Way. I had heard before that it's viewed as an old-people thing. It's a long story how I got into it. I believe the fundamentals are right, but I guess one thing I doubt is if I actually should be in yin rather than yang, which is in some ways the difference between younger and older people. I try to stay in a yin-mode, a meditative, non-manifesting mode but I can't do it over time. I have a lot of thoughts, ultimately. And I thought I knew how to integrate- how to "hold the feminine"- while living in the world, but it seems it was just another of those things that arise, exist and end.

I find big-bellied fat girls so sexy. Something about that big curve, that forward jut of soft roundness, is perfect to me. I feel like it's only natural and fitting for a girl with big breasts and a big bottom to have a big belly too. To me it feels matter-of-fact that it should be there, sitting in front of a girl, filling out her midsection and giving her breasts something to rest on. When a girl doesn't have a big belly my instincts tell me something is missing from her.

I got it, and I'm pretty anti pharma (especially anti psych). If you gave psych drugs to that many people there would be way more deaths, and I don't think suicide rates rising alongside antidepressant marketing is an accidental correlation but a marketing scheme. Getting vaccinated is probably low risk for you, but some people waiting is a good thing so long as they minimize their risk of getting covid like there is no vaccine. Most countries considering boosters should not give boosters but should make people minimize transmissions. That is a much safer path than aiming at total vaccination. Total vaccination will never exist, but that is not how you eradicate a disease. Limiting opportunities to catch the disease should always be the goal, and too many governments have pinned that entirely on vaccines when the vaccines do not stop you getting it entirely.
tl;dr- act like the vaccine doesn't exist and protect yourself accordingly, because that is how everyone should act if we want the vaccines to hold longer than a couple months

There has been an active effort to make people around the world to make people more stupid. Why? what is the end goal. In the short term the populace is easier to control but wouldnt there be catastrophic repercussions in the long term? Everyone seems lost in some sort of half baked intellectual cesspit. Everyone is trying to indoctrinate everyone else but lack the actual intellectual means to do so. Noone seems to actually understand what stories, philosophy, art or music really is. Noone can disern between right orn wrong and are far too naive to even believe there in. Everything is just schizophrenic spam which i just not working. Its as if everyone is too much of a coward to have any opinion of their own so they just pretend to go with what the perception is of what is popular. Any fruitful discussion as well as culture has stagnated. People consciously reject the truth of matters because theyve been indoctrinated with biases which keep the thin veneer of philanthropy but which exists in such a turbulent mesh of dissonance there is really no coherence in action. Whenever there is any sort of discussion people attack whatever stereotype the other person "probably is" rather than adding anything meaningful to a discussion. Whenever anyone has any sort of adverse reaction to anything theyre seen as automatically wrong and a joke. Its like trying to converse with a badger. The roman emperors which all were assassinated by the pretorians were they killed simply for being emperors? The guards nearby had access to the emperor one of the most powerful men of all time and simply cut him down because they could. Perhaps there has always been a struggle between the intelligent and those willing to look into new ideas and tackle them in their entirety and those who simply cannot look past themselves and their immediate surroundings (if you believe yourself in the former category you are probably not). Some day soon then there must be a time when discourse will be impossible simply because it doesnt need to be possible. we will all be fat and stupid and too focused on carnal pleasures to perceive things for what they really are. Who really profits from the stupidity of everyone.

Conscientiousness is the willingness to do a job well and complete as well as capacity for strategy. How do you expect to achieve anything if youre not willing to work for it or even have the capacity for strategy. Success and conscientiousness have a direct link.

I recently lost my job as an electrical apprentice, and now I am not sure what to do. I have another job that I'm going to start on Monday, building conveyors for Amazon, but I'm dreading it for some reason. I know nothing about it, so I don't get why I feel that way. I have to buy quite a few tools for this job, but I am not 100% sure I will actually get it, despite what I have just said. You see, I smoked Marijuana around the time of losing my job, and within a few days of that I had to take a drug test for this new job. I have no idea if I will pass, and to be honest, part of me hopes that I won't. I'll have to buy all of these tools to then possibly find out that I didn't get the job after all, and the shifts are 10 hours.

Becoming an apprentice was my honest shot at trying to improve myself, because I worked at a Walmart for 5 years prior, and I wanted better. But I didn't know that life can just say "no" and put you right back at square one. My pistol permit "should" be coming any day now, and I've seriously been considering just taking my life once I get it. I have felt very bad these past few days, and I don't really see anything changing. Yeah, you could say I'm some coward or something, and that I should take more charge in my life, but I've never really cared about anything. Never had any *real* ambition. I plan on asking my father, my last surviving parent, why he made me. I truly wish he hadn't.

There has always been heartbreak over a failed love or love that never was or couldn't be but has there been historical precedent for heartbreak over the actual impossible unreality of it?

Well, that's not really the case. It wasn't like I showed up late and didn't do the work they told me. I did. They said it was "little things" such as incorrect ladder positioning, or taking too much time on a task that they thought should have been completed faster, not necessarily the work itself. And what's the problem with smoking here or there? It certainly isn't an every day habit of mine. And like I said, I DID try, but I wasn't aware that trying might mean persevering through repeated failure for however long. I'm just not sure that that's really what I want to do. I've always believed that life isn't for everyone, in the sense that not everyone is cut out for such repeated failures, or whatever actions they may have to take to get ahead. And buying a pistol/getting the permit was the result of the panic about covid. I though for SURE that things were going to fall into a complete state of chaos.

I actually am interested in an opposing viewpoint. This isn't a topic that I feel like I can bring up with anyone in real life.

I've had this thought before. Even if you were able to make a VR simulation or android that has an AI perfectly capable of feeling emotions and is for all intents and purposes human, somewhere deep down you'd know it's all fake. And if you told that simulation/android of their true nature, how would they take it (assuming they're not hard programmed to be fine with it, since that's essentially just a bandaid)? How would *you* take it if you were told your entire purpose for existing is to be someone's romantic/sexual partner and nothing else, and that your entire personality and self were constructed from the ground up to please them? Of course this enters into AI ethics concerns, but exploring this specific facet of it is interesting. I suppose the best case scenario is they knew from the beginning or come to terms with it and decide to keep loving you anyway... however this gets into my next point

I also think there's something positive to be said about waifuism as well. Waifus may not be able to actually hold your hand, but on the flip side, they're not going to ever hurt you or leave you either. Like sucking your thumb as a baby or employing meditation and breathing exercises as an adult, perhaps waifuism should be viewed as a form of emotional regulation by allowing yourself to fulfill your romantic and/or sexual needs without the worry of conflicting interests, scheduling issues, or fights and breakups, all stressors that certain individuals may not be equipped to handle at that point in their lives.

Right. The sheer scale of stories told in Japanese manga is mountain compared to a mole hill when looking at western comics. It’s more likely there is something that holds up intellectually and is creatively a fantastic work when you have an infinite number of story options. Capeshit can only be so good, and most of the time the bar is quite low.

I'm going to be honest here: the saying "laugh and the world laughs with you, cry and you cry alone" is brutal but honest. From an outsider's perspective, the supposed reason they fired you might have been a side effect of your self doubt or mood issues affecting your speed or coordination. I personally can't do anything skill-related when I'm stressed as I find it directly affects how fast and well I can do things. Also the reason I said "supposedly" is because this is oftentimes just an excuse when a company runs on hard times- they "cull the weak" as it were because they can't afford to keep them hired anymore, so it could be that it wasn't even your fault. It could just be that the boss decided they didn't like you for one reason or another due to your conflicting personalities- if that's the case it is very likely they were looking for excuses to get rid of you at that point.

The point I'm trying to make with all of these possible reasons is that this is the mindset you have to have when looking at everything in the world. Of course having some level of self-awareness is fine, encouraged even, but humans have to deal with a bunch of unfair stuff all the time and if your brain isn't going to rationalize that in a way that makes it seem like it's not your fault, you're going to have to force it to manually. If you're unsure, err on the side of narcissism- when you have self esteem issues, your idea of "narcissistic" is probably closer to the truth than you realize.

Also, on wanting to commit suicide: I always think about it in mathematical terms. If you commit suicide now, you will have died living a miserable life and nothing more will come of it. If you choose to live, there is a possibility, no matter how small, that you'll turn it around. Worst case scenario, you die having lived a miserable life, which is no worse than the first option. So thinking purely in terms of probability, the thing that gives you the best chance at happiness is to keep living. To put it in less wordy terms: "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem"

I've spent the last few months teaching myself Latin so I can place into third level at my school and my placement test is now in 3 days. The thing is, I've studied so much that most of my other healthy habits have been eliminated from my life. I don't workout; I don't meditate; I drink like 6 cups of coffee a day; I am dependent on a large amount of sleeping pills to fall asleep every night. Yesterday, my head felt like it had been running for 3 days straight and I had the experience of feeling like a mouth gaping neanderthal, idling turning pages in my textbook like one of primates observing bones in the beginning of 2001: a space Odyssey. I want this to end

Yeah I'd agree. It unsurprisingly crosses over with a lot of ideals on the personal ideal/higher female to a given male and having a certain psychic function. The peculiar thing is this is manifested in the character of some media; it comes from an external encounter but not with something that is 'real'. So with the love there will always be an understanding of it's illusory nature and sense of loss. I think it's an interesting phenomena emerging in our time; probably a sign of malaise, maybe also signs of a reorienting of love and relationships in more media-saturated isolating environments.
As for AI stuff I'd assume they'd be pre-programmed to understand and deal with their purpose but with AI conscious autonomy possibly being a thing I don't know.

With my gf at work, after establishing boundaries for a "break" between us, finally, I wonder if the eventual crumble of our relationship is survivable for my fuckup BPD ass, and how that could potentially be disastrous for my son, if I don't get to therapy in time. Then again, I was told DBT is the only thing that works, ,and while I'm not poor I'm far from rich. I don't like the idea that potentially the difference between a forgettable suicide and a miserable life survived is not only negligible but also entirely out of the hands of the sufferer, at times.

BPD becomes exponentially easier to survive the more you feel genuine commitment to moral ideals bigger than yourself, not in an autistic monomanic way where you turn yourself into a blind crusader who can't tolerate any criticism of your ideals or in which you use your ideals as a crutch and as a distraction from emptiness, but in a way that genuinely enriches you and grows your soul to the point that it can stand upright on its own two feet and be "above" the emptiness.

The people hit hardest by BPD are those with no goals or context for their life, the modern zoomer consumer archetype, because that lifestyle relies on being completely passive and already being "filled" and given meaning by anything that comes along in the moment. I firmly believe that what we call BPD and a hundred related illnesses, as well as most of what we call high functioning autism, used to be better integrated into total personalities because there were more ways for these "disorders" to find healthy and useful expression in society.

If all you care about in life is "me guy, me want go work as little possible so me go home play game watch movie, me have girlfriend, hope girlfriend not leave, me become sad can't play game, me need new girlfriend, me not had girlfriend in while, me not get as much joy from game and movie, me hate job, me continue cycle indefinitely, me hope me get new girlfriend soon, me go to work now, me hope shift end quickly so me watch more movie" you had better hope you have a cow consciousness that can chew any cud in any field and be immediately happy. I know guys like this and they don't care when they break up because they are fundamentally happy.

I know plenty of BPD people are hardcore PTSD cases who need complex DBT, but many of the ones I've known had their existing problems hyper-charged by the fact that they also assumed by default that life was chewing the cud in one field after another and nothing else. The real danger began when this state of spiritual atrophy entwined with their BPD symptoms and became learned helplessness. On the other hand I've known people who transcended their BPD by having other strengths and commitments larger than "cure my BPD doc, I can't enjoy the cud lately" and became extremely good people.

I forgot to recommend William James' Varieties of Religious Experience. Particularly the earlier chapters on the once-born soul and the twice-born soul. One of the greatest tragedies of modern mass society and the scientific reduction of all human diversity to whatever's in the latest DSM textbook is that we've lost sight of twice-born souls as a type of human being. Psychology assumes everyone is once-born, which is fucked up since the people who really need help are twice-borners, and by treating them as broken once-borners you are implicitly punishing them further for not already not needing help to begin with.

Every twice-born is different, everybody has to discover who they really are and every process of discovery is different and will only make sense in hindsight. Which is why it's such a bad thing that we've also robbed people of meaningful differentiations and life paths so that they can undergo such self-discovery.

I tried the passive thing for a while but yes, I ultimately agree a lack of feeling like any of this suffering, petty or not, is actually worth it, and that I ultimately need a backbone and solid identity to determine what my values are. I was goal oriented primarily, but since my priorities are constantly changing I have a hard time determining what's me being genuinely lazy and within my hands and what's just some internal shuffling of the deck to avoid a challenge and loss of future outcomes (So, laziness too then, probably). I've tried many different religions and philosophies across the years, the ones that stuck out and made meaningful progress were Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity, Stoicism, and, bafflingly, Witchcraft then Laveyan Satanism of all things. Huge wastes of time from the outside, and I settled on Agnostic Atheism and fucked with Chaos Magick and other equally autistic things, but since nothing sticks, a mad mood scrambles my brain in a way that shatters what feels like years of built up endurance and pride in an instant. My interests can help direct me, but it feels like even overcoming BPD isn't the finale I'm hoping for in terms of self improvement. I'm never wandering about doing absolutely nothing, but you're right, without feeling a rational sense of who I am, it's hard to determine what is hedonic treadmill cycling/coping and what the things I want to do are. I have tons of undone projects I lose concentration on, anon do you believe that enough reading, willpower, and discipline would honestly help?

Blight as the frightened child begging for Light,
Blith as the night specter wailing for Light.
From the pale seal I call! come phantom Light!

Scintillating as the mind mirror’s Light,
Illuminating as the mind with Light,
Scintillating as the reflected Light,
Illuminating as the eye with Light.
From the I of my i! come selfmost Light!

Lux oriens,
Lux alba,
Lux candida,
Lux exaltata,

Unconquerable adamantine Light,
Heavene, mountain and sea dissolving Light,
Five and sixfold wound piercing nails of Light,
Flashing furious blade of fecund Light,
Enthroned above the boundless worlds of Light.
From the Welkin of Welkin! come Great Light!

Lux oriens,
Lux alba,
Lux candida,

And in the beginning “let there be Light “
And before endless time the endless Light,
And after All is destroyed by the Light,
And in the center of Creation Light,
Unspeakable from the beginning Light.
From the Lord’s Soul, Come uncreated Light!

That's quite a journey you've been on, and honestly it kind of worries me for someone like you to be getting into chaos magick shit and especially the Crowley side of the occult, which I think preys on a very specific kind of seeker and makes them lopsided. Not to be paternalistic/patronising, just genuinely saying be careful. I was actually trying to subtly caution about the possibility of doing a deep dive into, say, Hinduism or Christianity, but becoming unhealthily fixated on it. Some people are so desperate to escape emptiness that they become fixated on the feeling of security they get from obeying their priest/guru, as opposed to actually embracing the faith and growing from it in a way that makes listening to their priest/guru meaningful. But you sound like you have the opposite problem of going into something and coming out the other side without feeling like you hit solid ground.

I had a friend and mentor who advised me when I was going through similar stuff, felt like I was tugged in all directions but never strong enough to "hold" me. One of the important things he told me was that post-disenchantment western spirituality has a lopsided understanding of spirituality as exclusively about "discipline and willpower," like monks all supermen who smash their way through spiritual barriers and become Goku. These are good things but without the love, hope, and joy aspects of the esoteric, and actual worship of the truth for the truth's sake, you risk ending up a twisted Nietzschean "magician" drunk on power but also painfully aware infinite power is just infinitely meaningless in a meaningless world. Presumably the hedonic treadmill hits autism sorcerers just as bad as coomers.

I don't really know how to translate this into what I'm trying to say but, maybe you are like me, trying to "conquer" truth and meaning without realising that an integral part of truth and meaning is that they aren't just conquests. The more desperate you get for meaning and security, the more bullish you get and the more furrowed your brow gets as you rip through things trying to find "the thing." But what you're missing is that the whole modality and way you're going about your search is what is producing so many duds, you are making yourself into a "heavy" body that passes right through the subtle matter of the things you have explored, increasingly frustrated there was no correspondingly "heavy" immovable object in them to counter your unstoppable force.

Even what I'm saying right now is amenable to being interpreted in this lopsidedly sturm und drang way, like "Okay, so you're saying I have to become a subtle body and stop being so heavy, got it, I'll smash my way through THAT goal now too!" if you see what I mean - you could even go about trying to awaken the subtler (but stronger) sides of yourself in an unsubtle way. But the whole idea is that any kind of inner awakening requires patience, and it also requires holistic self-transformations that will not make sense or seem predictable except in hindsight. If hearing that ONLY makes you feel frustration (as opposed to some natural frustration), because you can't smash your way through that gnomic koan in any (as yet) determinate way, that may be a sign your promethean side completely has the reins of your personality and is occluding others.

Have you ever read Plato's allegory of the chariot with one good horse and one bad horse in the Phaedrus? I think that has a lot more depth and symbolic "saturation" (it can be interpreted over and over) than it's usually summarised with. For instance I think it's significant that Plato doesn't advocate shooting the "bad" horse, but taming it. Its strength is necessary and good, but only when working with and not against the soul-desire for heaven (the charioteer) and our naturally upward-bound elements (the good horse, easily overpowered and drowned out by an unruly "bad" horse). It's about having balance and cooperation between the whole team.

I wonder if you could take a step back from your crashing around searching for things outside you and try to "sense" what's already inside you, latent in your actions so far. Think of yourself sympathetically for a change, be a big brother to yourself, even admire yourself. How many people go through tons of philosophies and religions looking for... well, what are you looking for? What mattered to you in them? Do you really give yourself so little credit that you think you're just an animal trying to "get off the hedonic treadmill" like everyone else? Others have no problem with the treadmill, so why do you? Is it really just that your "hardware" is broken somehow, and you can't enjoy the orgy-porgy to a normal degree? Give yourself more credit than that. You clearly care about truth, and you clearly care about attuning your existence to something that is "right." Did you go through all those mystical and magical systems out of a desire for knowledge? Curiosity? Or are you the kind of person whose "emptiness" (diagnosed by people who don't know what it's like) is actually the precondition of higher "fullness," i.e. it's your natural sense of the absence of mystical fullness/wholeness in your life, which of course feels like emptiness relative to your current animal existence - it's like you and everybody else are accustomed to perpetual thirst and don't notice it, and you just awakened a primal memory of what drinking cold water feels like.

But you can't learn any of this stuff about yourself unless you take that step back, give yourself credit, see yourself in some new lights, sensitively observe the inner principles and drives underlying your apparently futile efforts. Something is underlying your wandering but because it's "behind" you while you are wandering, you are always being impelled by it and never seeing it.

It's also possible you have ADHD, but like I was saying above about BPD and autism, what if a majority of ADHD cases are really the spirit trying vainly to express truth or tap into truth through a thousand flawed means, and only able to hold onto its conviction regarding any particular means for a short while? I'm very similar and definitely ADHD, but I've tried to find an autistic balance in my life where it's a strength, and now instead of feeling like a nothing person who bounces between 500 different things, I feel like a person who senses the integral truth I'm seeking underlying the 500 things, and the reason I am/was drawn to those things is that I'm seeing the light of that truth reflecting and refracting off of them. But this perspective took years and subtle transformations to uncover. Some of those transformations were as simple as realising that contentment and wholeness are simply not going to come from any one partner (in fact I now think that a partner only makes sense in light of you being on your own path, they can never simply be your path or its destination). Most of them are still underway. But fundamentally I now feel in tune with my "wandering," I have knowledge of what is pushing from behind me, and I realise it was actually a force pulling from in front of me all along, it's just so vast and presently far away that I can't always see it on the horizon.

Sorry for longposting but I saw a lot of myself and others I've known in your posts and it made me have a "we're all in this together" feeling. Have you read Siddhartha by Hesse or The Perennial Philosophy by Huxley? The former might depress you by resonating too much, and I don't think Hesse is ultimately right, and the latter might not satisfy you, but Huxley's discussion of multiple paths always stuck with me.

He's a dirty fucking commie and he supports feminism and LGBT crap and mass brown immigration into Europe

Also, Jordan Peterson supports all of these same things too by the way, except he is a neoliberal capitalist instead of a commie

Catposter is a retard, don't listen to it. In terms of left wing policies, Zizek is a classic Hegelian, he is a critic of Marxist and Leninist/Trotskyist philosophy, and can only be loosely defined as "anti-imperialist capitalism", rather than "communist", as he doesn't see capitalism as an ultimate evil and has acknowledged many positive development it has brought to society. But he's not a liberal either, unlike Peterson. He'd often go by labels like "Stalinist" specifically to troll people (it's a running gag of his). Zizek's image as the "eccentric schizo" is a meme he himself actively cultivates, when you read him, the guy is actually super lucid and has a very clearly structured philosophy. He's multi-faceted as fuck, check out his works, especially on Hegel.

But he does explicitly support socially liberal progressive crap like feminism, homos, trannies, immigration, etc.

Peterson even agreed to use tranny pronouns. His only argument was that they shouldn't be enforced by law.

you know, your hate of trannies probably came from some kind of abrahamic religious morality, but while I can't say anything about judaism, both christanity and islam recognize the right of people to live as they choose unmolested. If you're gonna be a sodomite AND a christian, that could be a problem, but it is not a duty to be a christian, people have a right not to be and to live how they choose.
TL;DR: Jesus never told you to fuck with these people
And God knows best.

yea, well, Paul says not to, the Quran says not to and Sahih al Bukhari says not to. Islam actually has a way worse rep than what is deserved, it's been inherently multicultural since before the liberation of Mecca.
