I realised my relationship to porn/hentai is based on the chase of getting it. Once in a while I'll find some hentai/porn that's either hard to find the whole thing or locked behind paywall. The harder it is to get, the more obsessed I am of it.
Just recently, I was searching constantly to see this JAV actress named Ami Nishihara's videos. It took me 6 months to figure and find a torrent of it. But after seeing the collection of her vidoes, I didn't feel anything anymore. No satisfaction, no cathartic feeling. My boner for her just dissipated.

Nietzsche and Kant (semi-ironically) both thought that will is neither free nor determined, although in different ways. Nietzsche because freedom requires necessity, Kant because of the antinomy of reason. This is probably the closest you'll get to genuinely believing in free will.

He argued against the Christian idea of a purely free agent in time which can mysteriously or "metaphysically" arbitrate between choices. If that's what you meant by "free will", then you're correct. There is an aphorism somewhere where he states the meaningless of the dichotomy of "determinism" and "free will", that they both imply each other and to be free one must be determined. To not act from necessity is to be unfree, contrived, arbitrary, libertine in the lowest sense.

The world could be slightly more full of good if people didn't think nature was something to be strictly overcome, but embraced. Young running in the forests, dressing up as wizards and shit. The trap of avarice has been set, and the rat is unphased by it's closing mechanism; the figurative cheese as the 'piece' of our golden chain... Here in the jewel, the most perfectly endowed, built only by nature, turning their twitching noses up at the sight of woodland, the smell of chestnuts, the fresh cool air, the grey sunset - for it is only those of utterly impoverished spirit to dream of their future indefinite as relative inexhaustion of all possible outlets for violence. No, the bravest and most moral search for something more. Male is terminally man - not child. He does not wish to play, but as he witnesses his reflection, he wishes to destroy as an act of the most furious and terrific, and thus inefficient, energy generation. The future of our world seems only to continue in the afterglow of a great catastrophe, of world dying and everything in it's proximity with it. The beautiful want drama, hatred, melancholy, hysteric sex and intoxicating mania, they want dollhouses of slaves, stage reenactments of breakups, infinite cosmetic surgery. Where the rest of the mice make their existence within the steep walls, the sole rat's eyes gleam in from of the trap laid with it's food - for the rat doesn't want a platonic summary of tragedy, but for it's cheese precacrious - for it's gift to be given within the promise of a death mechanism. The most beautiful man wants to be sold his own life, as the highest bidder. The most beautiful woman wants to be wanted, hard, to death.

He tries to refute the law of non-contradiction so that contradictories can be true of the same subject, even presuming there is a subject. I'm not saying you have to agree with him, just giving you one possible avenue. I think the same argument can be made without violating this law, if one is willing to endeavor to elaborate the subject matter properly, which he wasn't. It's easier and less contrived to "philosophize with a hammer." I respect this method in a way but it tends to lead to a swamp of misunderstandings.

One way is if you look at Aristotle's distinction between contraries and contradictories in the Metaphysics and Posterior Analytics. Contraries can exist in the same subject by virtue of a common substratum. Contradictories are terms which absolutely exclude each other by virtue of being of different categories, which means they have no common substratum. This would imply that one can be both free and unfree, but not absolutely one or the other and at the same time of the same subject.

Anything I say will probably sound dumb and obvious but it’s an open word souls game, so it has all the rugged satisfaction and combat of souls, where you die 10 times before the satisfying victory, but it also just has a bunch of shit to do. Like how Skyrim had random dungeons and shit spread all around the map, but imagine if they were made with care and the world actually had difficulty. So it’s this constant choice of do I keep going forward where I am or do I fuck off and do something else? And normally one would think that giving the player an out when it comes to souls difficulty, a player would just endlessly change from place to place without progressing, but for some reason the sunk cost fallacy kicks in, and you still do that dumb shit over and over again. Not to mention the game itself is beautiful. Every cliff you run into is a fantastic vista of shit you know you’ll eventually get to and murder some four story monstrosity. It’s also overall improved the souls combat. It’s the amalgamation of every one of their 6 games before it. The number of unique weapons and items and spells and shit, it’s overwhelming.

Also you get a horse. It’s rad as fuck.

My mind is full of atrocities, and the psychotherapist is the modern day confessional. Every time I see a therapist, it doesn't feel like my problems are getting better, but instead my mind is being probed for all sorts of wrong-think. I have not seen a therapist for about a year, but I still consume the poison that my psychiatrist prescribes--because off of it, I achieve gnosis and everything on the material realm reminds me of the stench of evil. I suppose this is what is meant when someone says we're in the Kali Yuga.

Here on 4chan, I don't know, it feels like this whole site is controlled opposition for the modern society we find ourselves embroiled in. It is meant to confuse people. The whole site feels designed to be a sort of Skinner's Box where all the hatred leaks out, sort of a release valve for globohomo. Maybe my mind has been addled by this site. Maybe it is the only hope for the flame of humanity to keep moving on--I mean, where else can you get the uncensored voices of the multitude?

I already have, actually. I read Swann’s Way last summer, and it’s probably my favourite book of all time. Have you read any of the other instalments? Anyway, I found Swann in Love painfully relatable when I first read it.

I’m pretty sure that a guy I really liked lost interest in me for similar reasons to the ones that you mentioned. Now I have crippling insecurity about every aspect of my appearance, and don’t go outside without makeup on. My parents agreed to spend like $8000 CAD for me to get Invisalign, so my teeth look way better now and should be basically perfect by the end of the summer. Still, I hate myself and feel like crying whenever I look in the mirror. I’m considering using some of my student grant money to get plastic surgery. So I guess my point is that it’s shitty for you to judge other people based on superficial physical qualities and act as though a woman’s value as a complex human being can be reduced to a rating out of 10.

when I was in the firs tyear of high school this eventually became a self-conscious meme, that the only thing we really had to talk about was
"What di dyou do last weekend"
"Not much" [in reality I played WoW]
..
"What are you gonna do this weekend?"
"Just chill" [WoW]

over and over again. it's funny cus you talk about it becuase the weekend is this big stage for nightlife and shit, and in relaity we're 15-16 years old, whta the fuck are we gonna do 99% of the time; but yo don't want to give that up so it "I'm probably just gonna chill"

I'm one of the biggest retards that ever lived on this planet. I combine all traits of the internets best lolcows, physically as well as mentally and it is a miracle that for some reason I gained a tiny spark of self awareness to never end up like them. Here's an example: I produced a video called depression with sad dubstep music when I was 15. In one shot I tried to play a guy jumping out of his window. I jumped in my room in front of the windows and it didn't look real, because I was too afraid to actually hurt myself. Not only that, I jumped towards the fat bar between the two windows so it looked like some ADHD dude having a meltdown while some Skrillex Monstercat type hardcore dubstep track was running with a low saturation black and white filter

It's an okay idea. But it's more of an incomplete idea.
Take it from me, a random anonymous internet addict, the huge goals are actually less important than the small goals and how you measure progress towards those big goals.
What's much more important than your 5 year plan to be working for a FAANG is what is your 6 month plan to make that goal more realistic? In 3 years time, how will you be sure you've spent those 3 years well if you still have 2 years to go?
If you're depressive my worry is the same thing will happen to you that will happen to me, you'll be plodding along for 12 months, 30 months and wonder? "Why hasn't anything changed?" or think "I've put all this effort into it and made all these mistakes, I realize success isn't over night but I feel like I'm going no-where".

Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is on my mind. Some people say problems can be solved by 'asking the right questions' and certainly sometimes how you frame a problem can go a long way to determining what measures you shall take, and thence what level of success you'll have solving it. In a more intangible way rhetoric and skillfully building analogies can go a way to making us reevaluate and change our attitudes towards everything from products, to how people look at a piece of art, to political issues, to how they feel about certain celebrities. Narratives can be an extreme example of this. Dennet wrote about 'intuition pumps'.
Then you have Nick Chater's model of the 'the Mind is Flat' that there is no 'unconscious' mind and that we are constantly improvising after-the-fact explanations for why we do things. It was not then, a linguistic trick or a rhetorical argument that 'persuaded' you to reconsider something. You spontaneously felt that way because of immediate stimuli but to maintain the illusion of continuity and consistency you plucked out of thin air a fake causality.

I like leaving comments on amateur Pornhub videos. But only the profiles with not a ton of views and no OnlyFans link. Then you know the girls are just doing it to share and not to shill some website or etc.

It's pretty neat. I get a lot of responses, usually they're pretty nice and receptive. I've even messaged some of them, some pretty hot normal women too.

It's interesting. Just something to think about. I'm not an incel or inexperienced with women but I like sharing what I find sexy that they do, and thanking them for it. I mean it is pretty cool that they choose to share these sexy videos just for the fun of it. That's what I like about female sexuality, it's very expressive and exploratory. Promiscuity doesn't make me hate women, it makes me like them more.

ive been to about 10 therapists since middle school.

without fail they're usually not helpful, and 95% of things I changed or did differently i realized independently. im amazed there's an explosion of them today as most problems can be solved through journaling - it functions the same way and allows you to analyze your thoughts. also it's pretty easy to teach yourself CBT, there's some great self help books and I essentially self-treated my own health anxiety and OCD with self help CBT and common sense to the point where it's clinically insignificant. this is coming from a person who probably could've been diagnosed with panic or anxiety disorder.

every therapist ive been to, halfway through the session ive realized, i know more than this person. seriously. this person is not really able to reveal anything that I don't already know. yes, like good old neon. the only therapist i had that i really liked was a sexy normie milf. she was probably only 10 years older than me. she didn't even try to relate to what i was saying, i liked her a lot. she was pretty cool. she didn't help me at all but she was attractive. i actually like having woman therapists however they're essentially nonhelpful as they are unable, generally, to understand the male mind and experience. but male psychoanalysts are much too clinical in general, much too DSM focused. the reality is most modern mental conditions stem from the inadequacy of circumstances. doctor, why does my head hurt? have you tried stopping hitting yourself?

she was a good listener. nonjudgemental, kept it real. we joked around a bit. ofc she was getting paid but there were some interesting things we talked about. she was the first woman therapist i had for an extended period and i can tell you i was already comfortable talking to women but now im extremely comfortable talking to women. actually back in college i did a group therapy session back when i was actually fucked up, in front of like 6 other very attractive girls and i cried, first time i ever actually cried in front of a woman who wasn't my mom. after the first time you do it you realize it's not the end of the world.

maybe in some oblique way female therapy has helped me with intimacy problems. im still a virgin technically but i feel fine with women, i recommend dudes maybe check out a female therapist if theyre inclined for that reason

the real BBQ dudes are usually fat black men or actual redneck hicks who travel across the country grilling. they dont give a fuck. the "BBQ" soiboi "epic bacon! and epic whiskey! and cool beards!" are usually urban tech millennials or gen Xers. yes, with them, there are "performative" BBQs but that's just a reflection of neutred performative masculinity.

generally i find real bbq lower class people dont give a fuck about "masculinity", usually if they're lower IQ they're just masculine by disposition. think about your average high school football thug. does he care if wearing an earring is "not masculine"? half these giant football players have really gay hairstyles and nose and ear piercings. real masculinity = what a man does. period. performative masculinity = some pantomime which is routed in what this amalgam masculinity puppetpiece which never really existed (ie, there was never really a time when some group of men, as a whole, loved BBQ, wore flannel, had huge beards, used designer soap, and had tattoos).

I've never found any who live in my city. Reddit is better for meetups, actually. A lot of girls get 100s of messages daily on both those platforms, even amateur ones, so to coordinate a meetup would be quite time consuming, though it's doable. Also there's a large number of men who will proposition amateur people there with direct requests to make custom videos with weird requests, usually for 100s of dollars, even if the girl says she doesn't really do that stuff. Pretty common to see comments under very obscure amateur videos with someone in broken English propositioning a girl via comment or direct message to pay to meet up. It's quite bizarre.

So, no, I don't want to lump myself in with that category. If I wanted to meet up I'd probably stick to dating apps, there's quite a few girls there who enjoy sexual experimentation and you'd have a better hit rate doing that than attempting to get a girl off Pornhub or Reddit.

I feel like I got to say something in praise of the hipster, now that the subculture is all but gone. For all the faggotry, there was something valuable about hipster elitism when it came to their more obscure interests, even if it was just for posturing. The hipster needed to put in at least some work into investigating things that would normally be out of the mainstream, some genuine curiosity and research was needed there, and the elitism they conveyed often came out as something they felt was earned by their work.

The elitist hipster ethos is basically anathema to today, where culture is far more conformistic than it was even during the era of the hipsters. You're not supposed to try and show you know more stuff than your peers: that is actually a mark of the all-detested privilege, since you have free time and resources to look for things, and maybe know a language or two the other person doesn't know (which is obviously the only reason why he can't be into Indian cinema like you can). The hipster ethos is instrinsically anti-egalitarian, and since many hipsters would have leftist politics, it's understandable why the hipsterdom died. The contradiction couldn't persist forever.

The hipster is dead. Long live the hipster.

Was reminiscing in another thread about the time my high school friend group, which survived a couple of years post-high school, finally disintegrated ignominiously.

I honestly don't think anything has affected me so deeply. That bond we shared, growing up together, getting in to trouble, helping one another out, doing crazy shit out of boredom, knowing you all had each other's back. Just being there. I miss it so much.
I feel like a refugee, cast out of Eden.

Does anyone know what I am talking about? Have you been through this shit too?

Those early friendships feel like they are whole, that they are based on life. And while I have made new friends since they all feel particular, based on aspects of life, like work or a hobby, lacking that holistic feeling of those earlier friendships which were rooted in a place prior to any particular thing.

As of today, i have officially reached the age of 21. I keep becoming more of a useless hollow husk with each passing year. The regression never ends, and i am the only one to blame. I really don't know if i've reached the point where the rot/corrosion has reached the core of my being. Even physically, my body is in a derelict condition, despite having all the time in the world to do something, anything at all. I don't understand why i've managed to do zip in the last 4 years, as strangely pathetic as that might sound. I don't get this blockage in the thought-action highway, but i suppose that's an even stronger testament to my utter retardation.
Not sure if i'll make it to 22 at this point. It seems more beneficial for everyone if this one less no-gooder was taking off their back, but i understand that the seductive nature of self pity leads down a path of complete foolishness. I just really don't know anymore, man. What the fuck do i do? I was dreading this day for weeks on end, thinking that maybe this would be some sort of turning point, and internal gears would start clicking.

I did. I went to school, which ended pretty poorly since I got awful grades and it took longer than I expected since I skipped class a lot and never escaped my old ways. At some point though I got a part-time job, which I eventually started to take seriously. I always showed up on time, and while I didn’t work too hard, I wasn’t lazy. In my last year as a student I realized I couldn’t recover my grades and wouldn’t have a job lined up beyond what I was already doing so I tried extremely hard to network and apply for jobs, which resulted in an internship, and eventually a job. I’ve been employed consistently since then and my bosses say I do a good job.

I'm the guy who complained about messaging with girls earlier. This delusion was kinda a hard to take because she was hella cute but talking about this experience with my hosusemates kinda made me relieve a bit. Also, a few weeks ago I was complaining about how life is, for me, "asymmetrical", meaning that how the romantical side it's like an abyss compared to others. Well, since a while I started doing martial arts and restarted going to the gym, and really helped. I've never been fat but I also bettered my diet and it helps, too. With that, I kinda embraced my weirdness from this point of view and made me feel better. I see myself as the guy who isn't liked by plain whores (90% of girls) but by singular men (as a friend of course) as a bizzarre sapient. Whenever I feel down, I try to cope (life is usually made by that, for everyone) with physical exercise, reading, writing, ecc, shit that often flies over your average normie's head. Also sometimes I believe a similar thing about fate.
Yeah I know it's a bit cringe what I did just wrote, but I find difficult to explain similar topics in english

The masses are slow to accept Literature — have you noticed? —, and they regard capital-L Literature with nothing but scorn, superstition, or respect (whether genuine or false). It is fear that causes this, is it not? They fear Literature, as one might fear of sabre-tooth tigers in the Pleistocene, or crocodiles in the Nile. Indeed, people feel angst as the all-seeing eye of Literature scans from its lofty tower, overlooking the horizon of possibility. It is Literature that rules over them — either through the promise of the unachievable (how they placate the scions of Literature!), or the misguided fear that they do not themselves understand nor grasp language at its apotheosis — and Literature makes them its veritable slaves… Many souls have left for the chase and search of Literature’s holy grail — most, if not all, have failed. Yet there are the spiteful mob, an ugly warband, which spit in the face of this unknown deity — to them, Literature is a psychic vampire and some spiritually-threatening enemy, both unseen and seen, both implicit and explicit. They revile its portents of hope or doom — they laugh heartily at the possibility of its advantages, whether educational, cultural, or social. The Literary virtues are but vices of the cloistered class of the rot that seeped into the bones of good society. Still, there are those who fear the power of Literature in their heart of hearts, even if they do not comprehend nor understand nor know it. Yes, it is this wailing multitude who lament at the foot of an erupting volcano of Literature. Krakatoa is a book that opens its maw and uncoils the pages of Literary wrath.

Nietzsche is overrated. He has some cool sounding quotes but most of his philosophy can be boiled down to perspectivism + the idea that (Christian) morality is a tool for those that lack power to enacted imagined revenge against the powerful. Nietzsche was so obsessed with Christianity that he sees its influence everywhere and consequently much of his writing takes on a narrow polemical quality. There's little discussion of other religions, and even the writing on Christianity is an utterly embarrassing caricature which can be reduced to "Christianity's praise of weakness is bad cause the image of Roman strong boys gets me hard, also cause I'm a sick and envious faggot myself without any actual power." He's so obsessed with Christianity that at times he sounds like a Christian himself ranting about the devil around the corner. There's very little examination of how morality works in other religions or cultures. Instead he paints this extremely broad narrative about the long-term decline of civilization instantiated by Christianity. I guarantee if someone today wrote an analogous book about Buddhism it would get cancelled for being bigotted, but since Nietzsche directed his attacks against Christianity most people today in the West lap it up.

I am finding office work so counterproductive to writing. The thing is that this current office job is fairly easy, low time commitment. I’m only working maybe 20 hours per week remotely, and while I’m “on the clock” I can obviously right, but this sense of being “on the clock” is really like being “on call” and the style of work is somehow so creatively demanding. It’s like the actual work, and the meetings, and the emails somehow sap creative energy, or at least undermine it. I don’t know what to do.
