If science could make a man live forever in the matrix of his paradise, would there still be socialites and powerful men in this world? Is their desire to dominate greater than the desire for pleasure from us lowly proles and coffeedrinkers? Or must Satan always find avatars to do his bidding?

She has no filter and struggles to read social cues. Makes for awkward moments but it also means I always understand how she's feeling and it leads to the cutest displays of affection.

first post here, thought this was a good time:

in ancient stone walled corridors
i see undulating horrors
grasping throbbing in the shadows
upon this deathly walk so hallowed
the wall it crumbles under earth
whilst i make dreams of my home hearth
my light finds in terraneous deep
a colored glass, mine eyes to peep
i crawl within this mausoleum
heart is throbbing, nauseum
a decomposed sarcophagus
i open this most cherished chest
and find within, much to my fear
a grasping, sharp, and silver mirror

I am going to feel this in the morning. Why do I do this to myself? Why do I seek temporary pleasure in exchange for later pain that makes me objectively worse at my job? Why is my middle class bullshit life so insufferable that I drink to distract myself? Why do I watch shitty tv from 6-12 when I don’t drink? Why is everything escapism? Why doesn’t anything feel as fun as grad school or undergrad or literally anything? I fucking hate wage slavery. I hate the structure. I hate the obligation. My life is an obligation to work and family and bodily functions. I hate it here. I just want to rip my face off. Anons please help. Ideology solves nothing. I have no power. I don’t want to be okay with this suffering but I don’t see any way to escape it.

I'm avoiding taking the steps to go into a master's program for this same reason (and because I have only a little lab experience and only an okay GPA to match). I'm having trouble motivating myself to review consistently, though because I feel I maybe should just redo my undergrad and focus on doing well.

I talked to a customer service rep earlier, asking for a refund for a subscription i forgot to cancel, the conversation was uneventful, and i received my refund in about 5 minutes.

However, she said something that stuck with me. After we were finished, she said i was the "kindest and most sincere person she has spoken with today", and i was, and still am, kind of shocked with that.
I wasnt being overly nice or anything, i didnt even say much at all. I only told her what my issue was and my information, and thanked her afterwards, thats all! I said maybe 4 sentences at the most!
Im wondering if she actually meant that, or if its just some kind of customer service trick so youll give them 5 stars.

If she actually meant that, then i am astonished at how terrible people are. How disgusting must you be, if me just giving some common courtesy to another makes me kind and sincere!
Anons, please tell me you treat others like actual people, i honestly feel bad for her and others that have to deal with disgusting people on a day-to-day basis.

I always hear horror stories from my friends who work in customer service about how awful people are and I try to exhibit some basic decency whenever I correspond with any employee. At restaurants, even if I don't receive good service I leave good tips. Maybe it'll turn around someone's day and give the next customer a better experience.

I am suddenly feeling a powerful urge to order Pizza Hut tomorrow. I want to get a big stuffed crust pizza with extra sauce, extra cheese, pepperoni, and sausage. Maybe just a big meat lovers' stuffed crust pizza. Obviously I can't eat it all myself in one sitting because I'm not THAT much of a fat fuck, but I want to get it anyway. I can just wrap the rest up in foil and eat it a day or two from now.

Pizza Hut feels really underrated for me in general. It's trash but all mainstream pizza chains are trash, and Pizza Hut is the best of the worst.

I can't tell what this is but I just puked it out onto a text file. I guess I'm trying to tell myself to... kill myself. I can't think or anyone else this kind of writing is targeted at. Hopefully I will grow out of this phase soon.
>There are two kinds of people: >Those who have the urge to take from others and those who are scared of the thought of taking from others. It is exclusive to any survival urges. It is not by any divine organization or administration that the people who are willing to take are in the most optimized positions for their method of operation. The rest of us, the meek, are in our own international limbo. We may live full lives or we may die young. In any case, the meek are the ones in the boiling pot, being stirred steadily by the takers, and as long as this method of operation is followed by the meek, they will be tortured in amorphous ways by those who are willing to take from others, for their whole life, from overt and invisible directions permeating every realm of their life and perception. I want to ask you: If you are not willing to take from others, if you are the one in the stirring pot, what do you want to live for? Your method of operation, your method of living, will always be being whipped and frayed by them. Your family will be under the care of a husband, a commanding mind of the house, that is content with living under this omniscient punishment. If you are not willing to step over the edge and reject the so-called "social contract", the demons picking their teeth with the bones of prior generations of your ilk will not just sit there. You will be eaten over and over reincarnation after reincarnation by the people who take. You are eternal livestock. Would you really be of that much less use to others if your body weight was converted to crop fertilizer instead? Which serves more *utility* as you may put it? What is the point of your life? Does the ounce of ego you drape over your little existence like a tragic prince outweigh the tons of misery you cause? Ask yourself these things more often. You don't need to put on a facade when you're staring down a gun barrel.

I find myself quite frequently extremely skeptical of myself, my perspective, and my beliefs; constantly second guessing, thinking about the cons, and thinking about the pros of things that run against the grain of what I typically think and feel. There's certainly no shortage of "grass is greener on the other side" type thoughts, but just as frequently as i fall into doubts, something comes along to pick me up and throw me back on the good path. I still dont think i've "figured everything out" though, for example I know for certain that, especially in the last few years, developing in isolation has been detrimental to the development of my perspective and I absolutely without a doubt need to smooth out the rough edges and integrate everything Ive learned over the years into the context of a normal life for the sake of perhaps one day returning to a normal life and being able to navigate it while holding on to everything that matters to me.

We’re long overdue for a change of cultural attitudes, 2022 will be the year when us thiccbois will finally be appreciated and desired, and not just by the LGBT+ community.
Thicc women have already been appreciated for years, it’s time for our day in the sun too now.

Depends what you mean by young man, but I think most great men weren't noticeably greater than other people of (perhaps) a certain success in their youth. Besides heirs like Alexander and in some arts the rare prodigy (who even then wasn't better early on than all the other, obscure prodigies).

But they often swim in important streams. Alexander was the son of a king. Caesar was a Roman patrician. Napoleon was a military officer. What comes to mind for me are figures like Diocletian, who rose from slave to Emperor, but he had a successful military career which started quite young. I’m looking for people who in young adulthood did nothing particularly interesting or important, if there even are any.

I think my depression might be slowly lifting. A new change I noticed during dinner last night was that food has a new kind of "weight" to it, making it hard to eat quickly. Normally I wolf every meal down in under 5 minutes because it feels kind of weightless and flavorless, but it's suddenly gotten harder to do that in the past couple of days. I guess that could still be placebo effect, maybe I'm not really improving, but I also got into depression through a very slow change, so it would make sense getting cured takes the same amount of time. I hope that's how this is

But by virtue of the station, all patricians and military officers deal, in my opinion, with higher level duties than say a banker, a laborer, or in today’s terms, a financial analyst. I’m looking for the stories of the guy who was a laborer until he was 30 and then became something important.

I don't want to be alive.

I want to opt out!
There is no place to run to, globohomo is truly global, and anyone saying "not hete" is lying to himself.
Nothing makes sense.
I can't identify with the current culture, and I HATE it beyond anything I could previously imagine.
I'm on the verge of murder.
Everything disgusts me, and I can't just unplug, because sooner or later, I have to look.
It will follow me home.
It will intrude on my thoughts.
It will seek me out.
My normie wife doesn't get it and neither do our children.
They practically partake in it.
Sooner or later globohomo finds me.
I hate it.
I hate it!
I HATE IT!
I'LL DO ANYTHING TO END IT!!!

I don't know if anyone here can advise or help me in any way but I want to tell someone this.

The fire inside me has been extinguished. I wanted to be an artist. I drew but then gave up on that. After that I started reading and writing and I even tried coding and stuff like that. I gave up shortly after starting all of those activities.
Now I just watch the occasional art house movie and browse this place or YouTube. I literally do nothing and have given up on everything.

Have a purpose

All the things you're talking about having tried are vehicles for serving some purpose, they aren't purposes in and of themselves. Purpose is what makes some guy shake off how tired he is after his shit job and work all night on proving his mathematical conjecture year after year, instead of saying "it's not reasonable to work into the night, I just want to relax." Purpose is rarely reasonable, that's why it refuses accommodation with an easy lifestyle, and that's why it often reshapes your lifestyle and eventually your entire self. People don't get good at coding because they "want to get good at coding," they get good because they're autistically dedicated to making some video game project nobody gives a shit about because they have some insane conviction they can really make it.

Obviously you have to love the journey too, and if you love the sheer feeling of coding or drawing on a day to day basis that's great too, but there are a lot of great coders and great artists for whom coding and drawing is mostly painful and miserable, most of their time is spent on the hard parts they don't enjoy, like grinding skills and acquiring the parts of the skill they aren't innately good at. Doing the easy parts would just be spinning wheels, showing off, wasting time. The reason some people can endure this is because they have a vision or goal.

You're going through the same slump most young men are, and if you stay here for too long you will end up yet another old guy whose whole inner life is a string of consumerist coping mechanisms. There are points of no return that you really don't want to go past. No amount of self pity or narcissistic excuse-making about how you're a tortured genius can be traded in later to undo the damage you can do to yourself by wasting these years. At the end of the day you have to make that either/or choice, you are already making it by wasting today if you waste it.

Even if you decide you're just a weak faggot with no vision or purpose and all you want from life is comfort and consumer hedonism, you should still suffer for some craft and become a master of it so you can act least guarantee yourself a livelihood.

Felt like shit today and I just realized it's probably because the creamer I bought has added sugar in it (accidentally). Lately I've gone without artificial sugar for the past few weeks and it really improved my life. Not sure if it's just a genetic thing or what but I should probably give up artificial sugars permanently now, I really don't ever want to have them again. This is really inconvenient though living in the US. People will cram sugar into anything

Domination is freedom by another name. If this hypothetical matrix is truly paradise than perhaps there would be no need. However, I very much doubt that is the case. If there is even a slight hint of imperfection everything will follow its natural order yet again.

I’ve recently been reading an old book I bought for $3.00 titled Management and Machiavelli. The strikingly similar parallels he draws between the formation of monarchical governments and modern corporations shocks me to a deeper degree than anticipated. If the claims he makes are true it explains a lot of the confusion I’ve seen in modern media. If his claims are true… either was I think it’s a good perspective.

Mainly it's when you keep thinking "I'll do X at some point" over and over, then the point hits where you realize there is no "at some point" anymore, because you're past it already and you never did X. This happens in a few phases, and most people are so bewildered and frightened by whatever phase they've just hit, they don't realize the next one is approaching even faster than the last one did. You'd think the wakeup calls would be obvious, but 99% of people will just keep distracting themselves from the problem, trying to burrow even harder into the feeling of still having plenty of time, and one day they wake up old, still feeling like they're 20 in terms of accomplishments and maturity, but now staring down middle age. The gap between 30-40 happens in the same subjectively felt time as 21-23.

When you're young you're literally incapable of seeing time objectively, and your brain runs on "I'll do X some time in the next couple of years" statements as a way of sorting your life plans and managing your anxiety about all the shit you theoretically want to do. Every year feels like a mulligan or do-over because 23 "is basically" 22 and 22 "is basically" 21 and 21 "is basically 20." You also have a fucked up sense of just how long a year is in general. So on an unconscious level you're overestimating both how much time you have, and how much can be done in that time, which makes hitting the series of "how the FUCK am I twenty-whatever already?" walls with nothing to show for it that much more jarring.

You definitely aren't fucked, you could learn any skill or start out any life trajectory and still have plenty of room for changing course and starting over. But if you're like most young guys, you will see 21-25 go by REAL fast, and you'll suddenly be 25, still feeling the same way and asking the same question. Then you'll bury your head in the sand and watch anime for another 3 years and suddenly oops it wasn't 2 years it was actually 4 and you're 29. Some guys ride this all the way to their 40s.

To some extent this is unavoidable and just part of the human condition, but there is a right way to grow into it and deal with it, and the people I'm talking about don't do it. In my opinion the right way is
>Have objective goals that are bigger than you and that give structure to your life (it will not be easy to figure these out at first because you're young and stupid, but they will start to become clear through enough failures and groping, and IN HINDSIGHT you will realize they were always there waiting to be developed, and even your earliest failures and groping were on the right track in some way)
>Actively resist your subjective time dilation that makes you think you'll "do X some time in the coming year or two, probably," and go do X NOW
>Get it through your head, until it's instinctive, that anything you excuse yourself from starting today is 98% likely to not be a part of your life in 10 years (working out, playing your instrument, learning that language)
>Constantly expose yourself to new experiences and new challenges, both in general, and related to your overall objective goal(s) in life (don't just play to your strengths or spin your wheels)
>Go out of your way to enter into things related to your goals that impose deadlines/challenges on your skills and expose weaknesses in them

Above all just remember that at some point, whether you like it or not, your consciousness is going to switch over to a subjective feeling of time as a scarce resource, not the vague and endless haze you can wander around in with impunity that it currently feels like. At some point, a year is going to start feeling like a month or two, much more limited, much more requiring conscious distribution, much more punishing if you get depressed and waste half of it beating off. While this is oppressive in a way, it's only horrible for people who never matured by developing themselves into the kind of person who can gratefully spend his time on accomplishing his goals. If all you WANT from time itself is a formless indefinite haze to beat off in, then you're still mentally 20 years old, which is only slightly dangerous and probably even somewhat healthy at 20 actual years old, but a really bad thing to be when you're 26, 29, 35, or 60.

Ancient Romans "felt" it in their bones that age 30-60 was the most honorable and exciting time to be a man, because it was the time when you've matured past your generic youthful adventures and taking your mandatory lumps from the system, and you could enter politics and work your way to the top, get famous, ennoble your family, change the world, etc. We instinctively think 30-60 are the twilight years because our society is so diseased it can only conceive of "peak life" as 20-25 year old carefree partying, and everything else should be graded as a derivation from that peak. Life is about consumption, a 23 year old is just a consumer in his prime, so a 45 year old is just a wrinklier consumer past his prime.

But if you're actually ready for that adult consciousness when it finally hits, you can switch your consciousness into Roman mode where you are excited to have 30 well distributed years to devote to your goals with a fully mature mind. A lot of squishy accidental generic crap you did in your 20s because everybody does it in their 20s will fall away, and while this will be tragic for the people who are nothing but progressively older 20 year olds, it will be an exciting thing if you've actually managed to make yourself into a man.

The only way to do that is to have converted all the squishy formless merely passively existing parts of yourself into meaningful, developed parts by then, ideally in harmony but at least in productive tension with each other. This will inevitably be a dialectical progression between following-discovering-following your objective goals and priorities, which will reveal your objective self to you in the process, which will reveal more depth and meaning to your goals, which will reveal new depths to your self, etc. Because the process is dialectical, it has to start with a leap of faith, while you're still a dumbfuck 20 year old who doesn't know shit. Every one of your opinions and thoughts is going to undergo so much reformulation and sublation in the next 5 years, and then again in the next 5 after that, that you will eventually feel about your current self the way you currently feel about your 12 year old self, that he could barely be considered sentient. You can't do anything about that, but what you can do is start applying the "pressure" that will keep the process rolling forward and compounding on itself, and it will eventually break through into self-consciousness.

That's also where just getting off your ass and doing things comes in, which is a really good habit to form NOW. Don't spend 2-4 years dallying and thinking about which of an infinite number of virtual future selves you ideally want to be, go start BEING at least some of them NOW. Better a guitar hobby that subtly changed who you are in a dozen ways even though you eventually discarded it than a million empty forgotten plans to eventually learn an instrument, better a thousand experiences hitting your plateau with bodybuilding than a thousand hours vaguely assuming you will eventually figure out the exact perfect gym routine. If you want to make a place for 4chan style time wasting in your life, it's doable, but start to be insanely critical of any expenditure of your time that adds nothing but hedonism. You're going to want to hang yourself when you think back on your 4000 hours of that game you didn't even really like.

It's all pretty obvious advice I guess but it's what I wish I could tell my younger self. A lot of this should be provided by big brothers and associating with men who are further along but most young people are adrift and atomized so they will just plateau.

I know exactly what you mean, and it was similar conditions that made me realize it. The best way I figured out to explain it to others was like this:
That same feeling you get when you're listening to a song you've heard several times, when you're anticipating a certain verse or measure and can "hear" it in-key and in-time, unlike the normal sense of having a song stuck in your head. Apply that feeling to real-life situations, the thoughts of other people, and their responses to your questions or statements, and you get a really schizo-feeling sense of prescience.

I don't understand the strange obsession with apex predator beast. We would be much better off if we killed every lion, tiger, wolf, bear, crocodile, and shark on this planet. They compete with us for their prey and sometimes get bold and attack a human directly. If liberals love them so much they can buy their own cordoned off sanctuaries to maintain them, but they must be financially responsible for accidental damages they cause and it should not be payed for by
tax payers. They're already in low enough numbers their effects on ecologies is minimal as is. People think ecologies are these fragile complex webs where if you make one micro adjustment it all collapses, but actually they're incredible robust and self correcting. Removing these apex predators would likely cause no harm to ecologies at all. The little effect they have would be things like there being more deer, more fish, etc for us to hunt or catch. No down side.

That's not true. One is human and other is nonhuman.

It's all comes down to Schopenhauerian negation or Nietzschean affirmation. Schopenhauer affirmed it for specific things like consuming and creating art. But Nietzsche was a lunatic, he affirmed it on almost every level, nor mercy or guilt.

I can't believe I have been hearing them from a young age. While I am surrounded by artists as well as people making families and stopping themselves from being alone, I always felt those were empty meaningless actions. Right now I publish just to get money. My last publication was a short story were they put the wrong name on it, and I can't give a shit at all, I didnt even bothered about correcting them.

The idea of having a purpose is insulting and depressing. Thats what you do with machines, and how you train an animal to serve you. Purpose is a cheap drug, is not even that good but really easy to cling to it. You are just programming yourself until death takes you.

Having family for an artist is a disaster at least creatively. Art comes from chaos and family is having a balance. If they immersed themselves into that shut too much then their art is going to suffer. If you're already within publishing then I would say do that shit properly. Enemies and hate are good motivators for art. Ligotti is extremely blackpilled but he take it for his advantage and make good shit.

I suggest doing some more reading on visceral experiences, because this whole purpose is for cattles is one hell of a dead end that never served anybody any good. Think of any great person that has ever lived and transcended the confines of time. Didn't they have a sense of purpose/direction? You really think that focusing on that is what's more miserable than lacking that direction? I believe you're misguided my friend, but hey, that's just my humble opinion.

There is not such a person, everything that last is just the invention of a person who once existed but it doesnt anymore. Their art or works are just products to randomly profit from it, morally, ethically, socially, You call it, but is empty of the nature of the creator or from what make them themselves, their legacy is to be exploited and manipulated as much as the myth of their existence. Purpose is a manufactured concept to keep being productive and serve society.

There's no truth or underlying meaning to life, only various schools of interpretations throughout human history on how to navigate existence and awareness. These analyses are esoteric, only relevant to us humans. What's the meaning of existence to animals and plants and inanimate objects? We are biased in trying to speak for them.

A cat kills a mouse and doesnt it it. We call it nature, we let it be knowing the cat would do it again, will do it again. Unless the mouse is our pet and we are afraid of the cat, we still let the feline roam.
A man kill a kid, we call it a crime, we are marvelled about it, afraid as much as curious. We meassure the crime, we give the crime a value: was a violent crime? An accident? Are we afraid the man is going to do it again? And then we make him serve a sentence. Sometimes we let the man roam alongside the cat, sometimes we kill the cat and the man, sometimes we decide to hide our mices and kids because killing the cat or the man is "wrong". Humans are animals adorning their savage behavior with something as flashy as shiny feathers in birds.

The same way we might "get in a rut", where we spiral dive into a week long mood or mentality (just an example, there are other "happy" ways to get lost), humanity has in the same way lead us to a place that's gotten out of hand. But there's no choice involved in this process. We are already sentenced to hell by being limp witnesses to it all. Even me typing this is written.

It’s not exactly as bad though, is it? If you have any experience working a white collar job, you know how utterly meaningless it is. While you’re right that trades have sunken low as well, they’re in general not quite as meaningless and certainly more tangible. Perhaps you’ve just been misled by the exaltation of the worker and the tradesman, who today, just performs a job. Its rarely a craft or a vocation. Still, it’s less “just a job” than clerical office work. Most business, law, and the like is truly meaningless in every possible sense.

Look around you. How can you love what you do? Occupations today are just that, occupations. They exist to occupy you, or someone else, or else for the express purpose of accruing money. Almost nobody actually likes what they do, and even if they did, merely liking your job doesn’t make it purposeful. I like playing video games, but I’d still feel my life as a waste if I played them for a living.

But that’s work, isn’t it? That’s how work’s been for virtually all of known history, at least for those in the peasant class of society. Were your work felt as meaningful, or at least as contributing to some greater than yourself whole, I suspect that you wouldn’t find it as disappointing. Again, it’s not this or that work, or love of specific acts that makes a job unbearable. It’s being devoid of the vocational element, the thing which takes “just a job” and turns it into an offering up of yourself in something bigger than yourself. My guess is you feel yourself as basically a pawn for someone to make money or have luxuries, and in the end, it doesn’t contribute to any greater whole. The problem then is that contribution, not the job itself (not considering the inhuman, computerized, or mechanistic element of modern work which can never be fulfilling). All I can suggest is that you try to turn trade into craft and craft into vocation as best you can. If you feel called to something worthwhile, go for it. Beyond that, we have to deal with the cards we’re dealt.

Besides the casino-like algorithmic addictiveness of much of social media it's possible that the anonymity that this same media allows for facilitates a sort of mass psychological transference effect between multitudes at a level obviously never before seen in history, so that the internet itself is the new religion, with which all other religions, but especially the most staid Christian Protestant ones, have an extremely difficult time competing.

Moreover, in the case of the Protestant national religions of northern Europe, in contrast to southern European Catholic folk religiosity and later pentecostalism and charismaticism, "psychological transference" is intentionally repressed on dogmatic and theological grounds, perhaps because of Protestantism's association of (to borrow an anachronistic Freudian term) "psychological transference" with magic and witchcraft, and uninhibited human "powers" and instincts that should strongly, indeed, vehemently be repressed, in order for the work of a more rationalized and efficient practice of religion, politics, and commerce to exist, let alone go forward. So all the old religions, but especially the staid Protestant state churchs, are fighting a losing battle they were never meant to win.

In other words, the technological entrails of the internet is what one might call a high Protestant technology, but the way the internet is largely consumed is very opposite and contrary to its technological/quasi-theological efficiency: as it resembles some sort of Dionysian mystery cult to perpetual sensual stimulation, including, in no small part, the compulsive mesmeric force of "psychological transference" on both a scale and intensity that leaves all other mass "psychological transference" movements in the dust.

Indeed, the teachings and practice of certain ancient religions may be an antidote to the aforementioned unprecedented mass scale and mass efficient Dionysiac effects of the internet, but such religious practices require constant mindfulness that the phenomenon of the internet, as it exists for an absolute majority of its users, is one of sensual disinhibition and sensorial saturation that makes of activity passivity itself, and of mental action the absence of itself, leaving an empty space for dark forces indeed.

So, in short, the unequaled civilizational gains of northern Protestantism are convoked in the internet to, in effect, defeat the storied theological underpinnings and concomitant psycho-spiritual prophylaxes that allowed for their manifestation and materialization in the first place.
