isnt it pathetic that we all hope for a fucking after life? Why cant we all embrace oblivion and nothingness? I mean, look at the void in league of legends! IT WANTS TO BE NOTHING.

rather than being awake, it prefers eternal slumber, and I say thats the best thing that could happen out there, we all meet our end and we go to sleep forever, eternally blissfully unaware of anything, why should we care when we arent even aware of it?

Dissonance only happens when we acutely have a sense of what they are, and when we are aware of something bad, we feel bad too.

for example, I'll say that someone is getting raped right now.

and you'll think, oh thats too bad! but since its only words and you arent anxious to the point of worrying about your own hallucinations you dont actually care about it. It isnt in your radar afterall.

I say we all go for the religion of sleep, and forever be at peace.

Probably because it has a higher percentage of people who tried to "make it" as a professional player than other sports.

I think Zoomers are fucked. Millennials, at least sort of had one foot either side of the internet. They shaped, and were shaped by it, but have memories before its total ascendancy over everything. Zoomers on the other hand, coming directly after, have no such experience and so have a harder time charting a course to calmer waters, so to speak.

I think with the tail end of Gen Alpha, and whatever comes after, who will primarily be the children of Millennials, we will see a trend in "analogue" low-tech parenting. Post-extremely online parents actively seeking to inoculate their kids from the attention-traps of the modern world. This has been popular in silicon valley for a while now, and will probably mainstream later this decade. Covid forcing so many to home school and experience the horrors of zoom classrooms likely helps.

Of course this approach will only be popular among wealthier, educated people. If you are born poor expect to be given a tableted and raised by youtube from now on.

Why is it that I always want what I can't have? I suppose that's in the nature of want. As soon as you obtain the object of desire all the allure drains from it, the excitement which color it blanches, like a watercolor painting left out in the rain.

That which hovers right outside the horizon of obtainability, the golden dream, which fools you into the belief that it holds the secrets to everything one lacks, that glittering mirage which recedes a step further for every step you take, just out of reach, it is that coveted ideal which enchants and bewitches most.

I believe A.I. will either set us free or completely destroy us. Every system created thus far only truly fails because of human weakness. Capitalism and socialism need to be scraped and replaced by a new system that maximizes human contentment. How do you measure and enforce this? You'll need an A.I. that is independent of humans to control and interference. Is this even possible? If implemented properly it will dynamically cater to the individuals wants and needs while enforcing the rules set in place. Let's use Capitalism as an example. Currently, the top 1% own roughly 80% of all stocks. In this new system the trades will be blocked once a threshold is met. Only the A.I. will understand the threshold as it will be based on a metric that calculates the social disruption caused by that inequality. Monopolies wouldn't exist because humans wouldn't be able to lobby the A.I. or influence key figures. It'll a hands-off government that truly serves mankind.....or completely destroys us.

I now realize that the reason America is already beginning to decline and why its government is ultimately a failure is because of the anti-federalists. I used to think Thomas Jefferson represented something good and necessary, now I see that he was a cancer, he represented decay, French liberalism is the antithesis to western culture, it destroys the intellectual tradition built up from the Greeks. The Federalists, Hamilton, Adams, Marshall, they represented a continuation of the development of Western culture and politics seen in Plato's Laws and Republic, Hobbes's Leviathan, encompassed by Hegel's historical dialectic. Voltaire's and Rousseau's "rationalism" has been a true plague, and I now see that these are the two opposing forces throughout history: Decadent liberalism/individualism/hedonism/materialism whatever, embodied by Epicurus, Marx, Voltaire, Rousseau, Jefferson, Locke, and transcendent wisdom-loving fascism/monarchism/aristocracy embodied by Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes, Hamilton, Hegel

I've always thought it was a corny and stupid holiday based on marketing but valentine's day is coming about and I'm not only single but dealing with unrequited love and depressed about it.

One of the holiday's many distortions is that of its depiction of its mascot, Cupid. Who was not a little angel who blesses couples with love, but a mischievous and cruel-hearted imp that shoots people with arrows. Arrows, lest we forget, fucking hurt to get shot with. Cupid is a bringer of misfortune. As Schopenhauer elucidates:

>The ancients personified the genius of the species in Cupid, notwithstanding his having the form of a child, as a hostile and cruel god, and therefore one to be decried as a capricious and despotic demon, and yet lord of both gods and men.

>Murderous darts, blindness, and wings are Cupid's attributes. The latter signify inconstancy, which as a rule comes with the disillusion following possession.

He is a dick, but he is my only friend and we get by just fine, so I don't have a problem with him.
I tried to talk him out of breaking up because he could just spend less time with her until the exams are over, but he insisted that he has no time and that I do not understand what relationships are about and so forth.
He then scolded me for me wanting to change his mind and proclained I had to be on his side. As if friendship was about saying "Yes, very well" about everything the other one does.

Yeah. That's how I am now. I don't know when it changed, but I have this love-hate with alcohol. I'm what I call an "anti-addictive personality". I can stop cold turkey whenever I want (alc, cigarettes, etc) (and it's hard to say this with a straight face because EVERY alcoholic says that), but what I'd do is that I'd go hard until I'd realize I'm drinking a gallon of hard liquor a week, and then I'd stop.
I generally only drink when I'm with other people, now, maybe ten times a year? When I drink when I'm alone I end up getting worried about my state of existence, and wake up the next morning with claw marks all over my body. Not fun. I used to have fun when I drink. Now what happens when I'm alone is that I drink, start getting anxious, keep drinking to keep the anxiousness away, it doesn't work, and I spam 4chan so that I have a constant stream of replies to solidify a very weak sense of self.

I'm always worried when I used

It's interesting how, not only can the same event be seen differently by different people, but also by the same people at different times.

Last night I sensed a unity between us. The conversation flowed, I made you laugh, you made me laugh. You cooked for me, I brought the wine. I kissed you, you kissed me back.

I pushed my luck, yes, because I wanted you. You said no and so we didn't have sex.

Now this morning, it's like we're describing parallel universes. You're talking about physically stopping me, being forced to let me stay over because I was too drunk to drive home, that I "assumed" we'd have sex, that you were laughing and brushing things off in case I was a violent person who would get mad at rejection, that I made you feel like it was your fault that I couldn't behave.

You physically stopped me, but you were also stroking my leg and kissing me. Mixed messages. You invited me over and asked me to bring wine, did you expect me to drive home afterwards? I didn't "assume" we'd have sex - and we didn't - but I thought the possibility was on the table, what else were we doing? There's no reason to assume I would get violent I've given absolutely no indication that would be the case. Granted you don't know me well and I'm in your home which puts you in a vulnerable position but that's an unwarranted low blow. I made it feel like it was your fault how? By saying I thought you were sexy? You were happy to take the compliment at the time. You were happy with everything at the time, all smiles, and leg rubs and kisses and banter.

Nothing you describe is factually inaccurate per se, but it's just a weird distortion of last night. Or maybe my memory is the distortion? Or maybe there is no way to objectively remember an incident. Anyway, good luck with the PhD, I feel awful to have upset you. I'm not a sex pest, just a horny dope I guess?

I didn't pursue her because I "thought I could get away with it", I pursued her because I wanted to fuck her. We'd had 1 date prior, in a public place. It went well and she invited me over to her place for the next date. This is a clear escalation. I suppose we didn't spell out explicitly whether sex was on the cards or not - I'm not an autistic zoomer who needs to hand out consent cards and ask "is this okay?" after every time I touch a woman. I have experience of the world and of women. You just play it by ear, get feedback and feel it out as you go. I probably got too handsy and I'll cop to that. Still, after she told me she didn't want to have sex that night I accepted it and she kept kissing me and I kept feeling her up. I guess she thinks me feeling her up was me trying to have sex with her.

She didn't ask me to sleep over nor go home. You don't plan for everything in life anon, you go with the flow. But once we were 2 bottles in I wasn't going to drive home. I said I would sleep on the couch and she offered me the spare bed. At this point I still feel like we were on good terms. I think it must have been right at the very end when we went to bed that she got pissed off because I didn't sense it at all before then

>>19920009
I just think the bar for what some women consider sexual assault is quite low and doesn't take into account the differences between men and women.

Fair. I think it's both. I didn't respect her boundaries but I do think this is biologically driven. She was rubbing my thigh and I got horny like a dog or an ape would. Short of throwing ice water over my lap I don't know what you can do to a man in that situation, especially if we've lowered our inhibitions with alcohol

It's all a learning curve anyway, I'm back on the dating scene after 5 years out, I'm a little rusty. The first girl I met I was very timid and respectful with and she wasn't interested. The second fucked me on the first night and told me I should dick her every day. And now this third girl was mixed bag, going well up until I fucked it. I learn, grow and move on. I'm mainly just angry at myself that I blew it but I am also a bit mad at her because she was giving mixed messages, wasn't clear in her protestations and seemed to be enjoying herself (she WAS enjoying herself) up until the very end.

I'm not an actor so I can't pretend I'm not horny when I am. Women do need to understand that sex drive is the most primal force and if you can't deal with the consequences of unleashing a man's libido you shouldn't invite men you barely know over for drinks after exchanging flirty messages.

You're one of these male feminists aren't you? The type that thinks the way to get women on side is to uncritically agree with everything you think they believe. The truth is women know men better than we know ourselves. They got flashed in the park when they were 8, hit on by the bus driver when they were 12, dealt with their classmates gaslighting them for nudes, saw their long term boyfriends jealousy and insecurities, pretend to ignore when their husbands check out younger women. They know full well how horny men are and laugh at your "lust is just a social construct that can be doublespeaked out of existence" bullshit.

The truth is women are multifaceted complex people with real world experience guiding their views on men. They know I'm right because they recognise it and they know you're just a simp and a virgin, they recognise that from a mile away too

They also get uncontrollably horny themselves, believe it or not. And they also recoginse their own irrational behavior, hence why they can laugh at self deprecating female comedians

This is basically my entire beef in a nutshell, yes. But that doesn't make all women children, that's a shit take. Women can be awesome. This one was pretty cool herself, I just wish she could have been less contradictory at the time. But then she probably wishes I could have been better at inferring from her hints.

Of course that's not my point, it's that this is how you have to treat women, they're children in 2022 even if they're grown fucking adults. You learned this the hard way. Doesn't matter how cool they seem, doesn't matter how good you think you are at gleaning her inner soul from "hints" she gives you, it's ridiculous we're even considering it,
>All in all I enjoy the chase
But this is the problem. The fact that society expects you to chase women, the fact that this is the only way you will ever get laid, chasing women as if they are to be hunted, forever crossing their boundaries just to arrive anywhere, and then it's a big surprise when a man can't tell the difference between a real and ersatz boundary, what a joke

I'm sick of being the smartest man in the room; it feels so lonely. Don't get me wrong: I'm not depressed and I greatly enjoy the company of people from all waks of life, but I feel like I'm missing something - someone I can truly relate to.

[Anonymous No.19920694]

I don't particularly think I'm better or smarter than anyone else. Just as an introvert, there are few people that I'm drawn to enough to try for a connection with. I'm sure if there were extroverts that gave a shit enough to try for a connection, I'd pick up on that. But it usually has to be someone worthwhile for me to try to connect with personally.

As such, if there are any individuals that actually like who I am,they don't make it known. And anyone that does see any value I have does so for exploitative reasons. Or sees something in me that they superimposed onto cause as I'm withdrawn, they can just paint me as anything.
