Have you considered that perhaps another person placed in your shoes would be able to solve the problems which you currently cannot?

My brother struggled for a similar amount of time, recently though he has truned his life around in a few months, he's gto a job and is going to be a father in november.

He told me he once laid in his (my parent's rented it to him at the time) house for a week alone, just waiting to die, but then he said that after a week he realized it was "too stupid" and "love was the meaning of life".

i fear i know even less how to help you than help him, but he has gotten his life together. and i think it was because it was impossible for him to ever truly give up.

I feel grateful that you’re brother has left this sump.
I had the determination to go on too. Turned my life around, followed my dreams, found someone special. The thought behind completing my bucket list was that either I have attained a feeling of normalcy and I can continue living or I’ve done everything I’ve wanted and there’s no reason to go on anymore. I’m the latter.
There’s something fundamentally wrong with me and there might be a fix but I’m too spent to go after it.
Maybe I’ve foolishly invested my energy and could have gone after the solution but that’s hindsight and not everyone makes it.

As if thine eye, high Poet! was not bent
Towards her with the Muses in thine heart;
As if the ministring stars kept not apart,50
Waiting for silver-footed messages.
O Moon! the oldest shades 'mong oldest trees
Feel palpitations when thou lookest in:
O Moon! old boughs lisp forth a holier din
The while they feel thine airy fellowship.
Thou dost bless every where, with silver lip
Kissing dead things to life. The sleeping kine,
Couched in thy brightness, dream of fields divine:
Innumerable mountains rise, and rise,
Ambitious for the hallowing of thine eyes;60
And yet thy benediction passeth not
One obscure hiding-place, one little spot
Where pleasure may be sent: the nested wren
Has thy fair face within its tranquil ken,
And from beneath a sheltering ivy leaf
Takes glimpses of thee; thou art a relief
To the poor patient oyster, where it sleeps
Within its pearly house.–The mighty deeps,
The monstrous sea is thine–the myriad sea!

I have reached a point in my life where I have little to no interest regarding debates about the so called big topics, such as God or politics or economy and what have you. It just seems so silly, especially considering the fact that I am nothing but a fool. Despite how peaceful and secure i feel about my personal stances on these matters, trying to put them into words never fails to come across as a disservice to this, at times, transcendent feeling that i get. I still slip into the same old egotistical mistake of internally dismissing certain people unfairly or classifying them as utterly wrong in my book, but i try to not outwardly express any of that. When I'm confronted for the sake of "debating" I just crack jokes and try to make everybody lighthearted instead of structuring solid methods of argumentation and all this rhetorical business. Having a regular conversation is something else entirely of course. I'm much more content with observing, pondering, and processing on my own private terms, and I'm grateful for the privilege to do so. Some things are buried deep within your soul, and you just know them without needing to intellectualize any of it.
Would you consider this to be a form of close mindedness/cowardice, or is it a step in the right direction? And are there any other anons that feel this way here?

i hung out with some new friends yesterday and ended up at a party later that night. it was the first real social outing i've had in a while that wasn't either random strangers or guys only, but basically everyone was in a relationship.
i felt like at least 2 ladies who had boyfriends there were into me, either that or it was really easy and natural to keep up a conversation. one of them ended up just sitting alone for like an hour by the end of the night like a moody bitch after i ended up in another part of the room. it made me kind of angry and confused as to why i can't replicate that with singles.

i also think i understand why incels here think women are all whores. personally i think it goes for everyone that doesn't care about getting to know their partner deeply.
now, however, i'd like to wonder if for some people "thinking deeply" about another's personality or existential significance isn't possible if they haven't ever done so with themselves, and i'm fairly sure mere empathetic capability isn't at all going to provoke any sort of philosophical thought or reflection, but seems to be the only thing which can validate and check it against being abstract pseudofactual wankery.

anyway i didn't want to do anything or talk to anyone today. i doordashed just to avoid face-to-face interaction.

A woman in a relationship can afford to let her guard down a bit more since she knows you're less likely to make a move if you know she's taken. Single women have to be more overt in signaling that you have no chance.

I've seen people talk about "Satanism" for years now, but to this day, I have no idea what that actually means.

I don't know what qualifies something as "Satanic", rather than merely bad or evil. I've seen so many different kinds of images referred to as "Satanic imagery" that seems impossible to draw a throughline between them. I have zero grasp on the history of this supposed black magic, or even the history of others condemning it.

And people talk about this shit like it's obvious, draw distinctions between concepts like "Satanic" and "Luciferian" like you're supposed to have already known the difference. I don't even know from what sources they're even drawing this material, or if there even is a coherent thesis to it all.

They sang the song that elevated humanity. Hundreds of thousands of inspired voices emerged from the global crisis and spoke powerful testimony about the value of life and the wonder of the universe. Their communications would touch the souls of billions and inspire incredible personal and social transformations. They would give birth to a generation of creatives that would outshine even them.

There is a spirituality of exploration, creativity, and discovery that can be found among people whose curiosity has been successfully nourished by their experiences and cultivated by their own search. A sense of divinity is found in The Unknown, in what lies beyond one's immediate understanding and interpretation of the world, and finds communion in experiences of awe and wonder with the world. What is unknown to anyone is truly infinite, and can be grasped by contemplating the cosmos and the natural world. The will to explore is an evolutionary impulse, an extension of the grasping of life towards potentiality.
These two videos and comic describes this spirituality from the perspective of a scientist, musician, and an artist:

I have felt the same spark of inspiration in so many including writers, philosophers, artists, scientists, and their greatest passions speak of this blissful love of learning. If such passions could touch the hearts of the masses, it would be the single most transformative event in human history.

That's because there are multiple types of Satanism and many of them are quite secretive about it. There are also things which are not actual Satanism, but which resemble it

>theistic Satanism
These guys believe Satan is a real entity and they do rituals to commune with him and his demons, who are subservient to him. Satan and his demons will do stuff for you irl like help you get a good job or attract women or whatever it is you want. Some of them believe the Christian God is real and is a kind of tyrant, and Satan rebelled against him because he prizes his freedom and independence. They dont believe Satan is evil, and indeed they dont really believe evil is a thing. They view it more as combinations of light and dark. Examples of recent theistic Satanists include Michael Aquino who founded the Temple of Set, The Joy of Satan group, Lon milo duquette, S Jason Black. Going back a bit further you have Aleister Crowley and Eliphas Levy. Many of these guys claimed to not be Satanists but they all summoned demons so they fit into the general category. Now where it gets obscure is when you get to ritual sacrifice of children, because obviously they're not going to admit that stuff publicly. In the book Pacts with the Devil there are some descriptions of older satanic groups in Europe who might have been sacrificing children. The more tame rituals might just involve cutting your arm or having sex.

>atheistic Satanism
The church of Satan founded by Anton Lavey is the most well known example of this. They're closer to Nietzsche than to theistic Satanists. They have the same emphasis on relativism of good and evil and personal freedom however.

Now anyone who has looked into the occult will know that Satanism as described here is basically just a form of what is called the "Left Hand Path". In esoteric religions there is a distinction made between the Right Hand Path, which can be envisioned as "aligning yourself with God/nature/Tao/etc" and the Left Hand Path, which is more like "exerting your own will on the world and developing yourself(to become like a god)". Evidently Satan as a character is an example of the latter. The tantric cults of the East are another example. Where things become murky is when you start looking into Kabala, Hermeticism, mystery cults, and Freemasonry. The schizo view of the matter is that all this stuff is simply Satanism, disguised to various levels. The more moderate view is that it is a wide range of esoteric beliefs and practices, some of which would fall under Right Hand Path and some under Left Hand Path. It depends what you think about God and metaphysics in general obviously.

If you put your schizo hat on then you can start seeing Satanism everywhere. Anything that tries to deny the existence of good and evil, of reason and law, that prioritizes personal freedom and "self expression", "development", breaking taboos, the "union of opposites"(eg androgyny) etc.

Ran out of room unfortunately

[Anonymous No.20203876]

>>20203832
To just conclude the above post, Satanism basically refers to a wide range of religious practices, which center around blood sacrifices to demonic entities. The cults of Moloch, Baal, the Amazonian and Mexican cults, etc can all be viewed as part of the general phenomenon. Communion with demons can also take a less dramatic form, but there is typically some kind of exchange being made(there is also a kind of demon summoning based on sort of strong arming the demons kek). The goal is typically worldly power or pleasure, and there is an emphasis on a kind of antinomian metaphysics. It bleeds into related practices which are not Satanic but have similar kinds of goals. It is a rather enormous topic and I havent really explained it that well(I dont know that much myself) but hopefully you get the gist.

I have stopped caring so much about trying to be liked and to 'win points', so to speak, in social situations. I had been doing some introspection and noticed how everything I was saying or doing could be boiled down to a gambit to gain validation, and positive recognition, and a certain continually present anxiety always accompanied that need but almost instantly evaporated when I stopped.

To enter social situations and not have to worry about being liked is liberating. You also realize that the 'Like me, Like me' game isn't the only one in town, and it can be fun in its own right to try and cultivate responses other than that. Hell, it is actually pretty fun to be unnecessarily antagonistic sometimes and try and alienate yourself from a group.

You also notice more about other people when you are not so caught up in your single player drama, which lets you go deeper if that's what you want.

Congratulations, that is a huge step i struggle with myself.

I think men are usually robbed of their right to this realization by how much of today's social life is taken up by women, and shallow socializing that revolves around trying to get women. A hundred years ago, most of the people you encounter throughout the day would be men. Men at work, men on the way to work, your friends and union members whatever. You thought of "Am I valid, can I relax?" in terms of whether those MEN accepted you. And it is by far easier for men to feel basically valid and accepted around other men, who are mostly concerned with their own shit. Men are low maintenance to other men, just don't be a dick and you're fine.

Now however not only is most of socializing ultimately aimed at getting laid and "having fun" (which is only really fun for women, who live to socialize), even non explicitly woman/fun related socialization is still very feminized and woman oriented, complicated by hierarchies of popularity and exclusion that just don't exist between men. Even if you aren't encountering a woman directly you are encountering another man socialized to encounter women far too often.

Men weren't meant to be "peppy" toward eachother all the time the way we're trained to be. That is a feminine form of socializing and thus socialization. We have taken on female traits as the social space is feminized. This puts men in a perpetually state of anxiety because it's a foreign environment where the rules are fundamentally not instinctive for him. Women love it, life is a soap opera for them, but for men it's a constant feeling of shifting ground and uncertainty, the wrong things matter and the things that should matter don't seem to.

Not much you can do about it. But you can at least realize, you are entitled to be a boring man, on his way to work, basically valid and acceptable as long as you can get along with other MEN. I think it's valuable to disregard women entirely, let your woman-self die like a mystic lets his ego die so he can transcend it. You can still pursue women and participate in society and so forth. But don't "take it seriously."

You should have a healthy distance from any concern about popularity or "being liked." Male peer bonding doesn't run on that, it runs on two things: basically being respectful and respected (fitting in), and closer more intimate peer bonding with select other men. You should only do those two things, never do the "middle" socializing that we've all been trained to do, between intimacy and acceptance, which we call "being liked." Don't care if women or oversocialized men like you, beyond being basically respectful and respectable. Seek out strong relationships with good people but disregard the opinions of groups and highly "social" people.

The past few months (or years, really) I have been suffering a real crisis of self confidence. You might say an identity crisis, really. There's no surprise that this coincides with my having graduated from university and subsequent struggle to find work.

I am struggling to develop a strong sense of who I am or what I want in life. This is normal, but the longer it lasts the more you succumb to that feeling of insecurity. It takes a bigger and bigger effort to put yourself out there and undergo the task of living. On an intellectual level I know that the only way out of this crisis is through action. That our identities are forged through experience. But its the waiting that kills me.

my best friend is a mystic who has spent 20 years meditating and trying to discover the nature of the will, he does mostly transcendental meditation now because he is more philosophical and intellectual and he finds it hard to be truly contemplative. i read something similar from a buddhist recently
>I have never been a very good meditator by nature or temperament. Like many westerners, my mind is supercharged, very restless, high-strung, and prone to uddhacca, that is, mental agitation and distraction. Although I am somewhat of a mystic, I am also a compulsive thinker much of the time. So it took my greatest efforts over a period of many years to realize what meditative states I have attained, averaging several hours a day sitting in the full lotus, living in solitude in remote tropical Asian forests, strictly following ancient rules, and practicing some pretty rigorous austerity. The result was that, a few times in my life, I have reached relatively advanced meditative or mystical states, sitting wide awake and still, with the mind clear like glass—what the Catholic mystics call “contemplation.” Those times, however, were many years ago. Aside from one night back around December of 2015, the best meditation of my life was between the years 2000 and 2004.
tldr it's very hard to actually make contemplative achievements and make progress, it's not a one and done thing

have you considered taking up a more focused form of meditative practice in conjunction with reading mystical philosophy? you don't seem to have a vocabulary for describing the dialectic of cataphatic and apophatic approaches, and the related necessity of any insight into metaphysical reality being above conceptual and sensuous thought. you're trying to not just have an insight, but awaken a whole faculty of insight that you already possess but that is dormant, like a sense you've never used. that's why it takes years.

most mystics describe the form of knowledge, once they have it, as "indisputable." as in you literally can't say that you don't know it, it's impossible, because you effectively realize that it is part of you already. that is what dissolving the subject-object divide means, realizing your subject is already situated in the objective cosmic hierarchy which is itself a form of subject.

however if you say you're going insane then i seriously recommend you take a break and come back down to reality for a while. this is why it's so important to do this with fellow seekers who care about keeping you sane but also just plain care about you as a person. that's why a tradition is great to have. there is so much danger in being interested in these things by yourself. you're putting a lot of stress on yourself just to think about these things. please take care. i guarantee you, no mystical awakening or insight came from "straining" and brute forcing it. true insight should be effortless and flow from you to the insight and back like a gently flowing circle.

taking control even in just a small way physically lowers serotonin for a start. I recommend reading what pic in my first post says about thyroid, serotonin and estrogen. His work is a bit dense, but put simply:
Chronic exposure to stress and trauma destroys your metabolism. The body adapts to running on stress hormones (which damage the body if chronically elevated) and you end up in a state of low energy, depression, numbness and anxiety.

95% of serotonin is in the intestines, so a good place to start is there. Anti-serotonin drugs might also be worth looking into. But you need to remember that it is coming from the body and not the mind, a healthy human should be brimming with energy and joy.

The thing is be careful doing this around women, I find that they can't resist the temptation of having someone open up about their anxieties and their deep beliefs... because it is both rapport building and makes them feel special and privileged.

Is it bullshit? You need to really figure that out. because if it is bullshit then that voice is right, and there's no reason to talk to them.
But how would you evaluate what is and isn't worth vocalizing, what is a 'serious issue' or not? If it's bullshit, then why does it weigh so heavily on you? Why are you preoccupied with it instead of more serious or practical concerns?
If it isn't bullshit, then yeah, try slowly to breach the subject in a roundabout way with people, see if they open up about similar concerns or show a receptiveness to talking about it. Don't try and open the floodgates.

What does that have to do with serotonin levels or learned helplessness, but it's sort of an irrelevant question since while you can do an fMRI scan to see which parts of the brain 'light up' if you get stabbed in the foot, that doesn't necessarily mean it is 'happening' in those parts anymore than a raster bitmap is 'happening' on the computer monitor rather than the RAM.

Hey pig,

You make me sick. The happiest moment of my day is when the door clicks shut behind me and I immediately purge every thought of you and until I walk to the shitty car you made me buy and I am reminded of you again I am free. I live for that five minute walk every day where I can pretend you do not exist and I never met you, five minutes because you wanted to live on this shitty street with no parking so you could have a patio you never use. I guess everything has a silver lining. Everything except you, pig. As I drive to work I picture you "working" from home and taking two "breaks" of 3 hours each to walk to the grocery store and spend 80% my money 20% your money on four more gigantic candles that smell like chemical piss. Don't research how to get cheaper candles or anything. That $16 "Live Laugh Love Lavender Daydream" candle was made in Vietnam by a feeder company that also labels the same candle "Purple Candle" in the normal department store for people in our income bracket so with five seconds of research you could have spent $4 instead of $16 of mostly my money. But that's okay. You add so much to my life with your inability to cook and wearing the same dirty socks and dirty old lady slippers two days in a row while "working" from home that I don't even mind spending all our savings on Vietnamese candles. That's why when I'm driving to work and I see your McDonalds bags still on the passenger side floor with smashed fries on the mat I will have to clean later I feel my blood pressure rising like a column of mercury in a thermometer about to explode. That's why my eyes bulge and widen in rage and despair when I get a mid-day text because I know it's from you, and I know it's going to be stupid, or a request for more stupid shit you don't need, on my already painful commute home. I don't wish for death anymore, because I know you would find some other man and inflict yourself on him. My one solace in life is that I have contained you in this nightmare matrix with me so you can't drag anyone else down. I will drive the McDonalds car, I will see my hours of work drained away from my bank account four candles at a time, I will scrape the mashed fries out of the rubber mat and throw them in the gutter, I will come home to a stupid pig every day and listen about how the biddies on Zoom can't stop fighting over something the other biddies did over email, I will do it all, because somewhere out there is a man who doesn't have to do it instead. I hate you pig, but I will contain your evil and drag you down to hell with me.

Sincerely,

That's part of it. But really it's something particular about Japanese culture (and East Asian culture) that's different from, say, German culture or something which disappoints me. Because what you really find from probing into Japanese culture is a weird rejection of complexity, of probing too deep into things and strict analysis. You see it reflected most prominently in their take on Buddhism via Zen, a rejection of the complexities built into Theravada and its elaborate spiritual path and khammatic system in exchange for a focus on self-knowledge and cultivating a certain mindset through ambiguous means (e.g. koans). There is just this pervasive sense to their world view that "What you see is what you get" with regards to almost everything and it feels really boring to me.

And their language actually encourages this in a way, it's very hard to write in an original style in Japanese due to its construction, so the same phrases are used over and over, kind of like in oral cultures. Combine this with the collectivist culture and it's a society that feels creatively fertile but at the same time intellectually sterile. It's a bit of a bummer

The rejection of complexity isn't a rejection of life's complexity but thinking that those complexities are life when they are man made abstractions, and so there is an emphasis on not confusing the map for the territory. Systems at a certain point are a set of training wheels that need to be discarded, or to paraphrase the Buddha you no longer need the boat when you reach the other shore. So Zen tries to minimize the amount of map to confuse the territory with, which was a reaction (well Chan was) to the proliferation of Systemizing that was happening in Mahayana at the time, it was a return to focus on Buddhism as phenomenology with the understanding that any abstract systems built exist within that phenomenology and are non-exhaustive.

Speaking of German culture, you may be interesting in checking out the connections between Zen, the Kyoto school and Heidegger, and Okakura Kakuzo's Book of Tea's influence on Heidegger's thought.

Regarding the language end writing style, the depth isn't to be found in the construction of new words and phrases, although that does exist, but largely in the construction of those words through choice of character. The best writers in Japanese don't just make use of nice prose, but create double meanings through both the word used and the literal reading of the characters used to construct a word phonetically. As there are many multiples of the same sound across the Japanese alphabets, and how each of those characters contain unique literal meanings in and of themselves, something that could be considered repetitious in English can be imbued with twofold or more meaning depending on its spelling.
This rarely survives translation.

If you want to be successful, you have to try and predict seemingly unlikely things.
I think it was I.J. Good who said that something like entropy is inverse to the value of information or something to the effect that what you don't expect is more valuable than what you predict.
I once heard a summation of Occums Razor that basically said that a good theory/program is one, in terms of Kolmogorov Complexity, is shorter than the string it generates. I'm pretty sure Popper says the counterintuitiveness of Einstein's Theory of relativity is what makes it a good one.
Financiers are a practical example of this, market consensus is always priced in, you can only make a great profit by successfully refuting the consensus.
On the other side you have Nostradamus.
A guy who said vague statements that easily fit into virtually any point in time. In retrospect he seems to have predicted all, yet you can't set your watch to Nostradamus. You can't bet on a specific stock, you can't make any worthwhile decision based on Nostradamus because he's vague, which is why he's always right.
It's a trope in comedy that when someone is lying about their ignorance they give too much and too specific information

Do you ever get annoyed by people who say technically correct but utterly useless platitudes?
>You got to be in it to win it
I can't think of any better examples right now. But I'm getting at this idea that if you abstract and generalize a statement enough, then yes, it will be true:
>There's billions of women out there, there's one who doesn't care about how I look or how much money I've got
>There has to be a scientist out there who thinks that Lord of the Rings is partly historical
By the law of large numbers, yes, it's quite possible that these statements are true. However they are fundamentally useless statements because short of an exhaustive search of each woman and scientist respectively, how could you realistically find the confirming one? However, if we then got more specific, by definition we restrict the possibility.
Compare:
>Somewhere in the world, over the course of the next 2 days, someone will eat a pizza with haloumi and pepercorns on it
to
>Next door someone is eating a pizza in the next 5 minutes with haloumi and pepercorns on it
The second is much less likley, but exponentially easier to refute. But if you strategically slice up the world into sub components, then you should find a sample which is unrepresentative. You can find the intersection of pizza, haloumi and pepper corns.
Is there a formula then for taking vague, technically correct platitudes and converting them into useful statements?

>You can see why [in the 1920s] American felt our borders were out of control. [The immigration law passed at the time] stated a preference for Northern Europeans] ... [Restrictions on] Southern Catholics and Jews—this went on to 1964, so all through [World War II] there were incredible restrictions. 1965 comes, we’re reluctant leaders of the world, we have an economic boom, we didn’t have much immigration, and we have a ton of guilt. First, about the Holocaust. [Rep.] Manny Celler was voted in in 1923…he was Jewish, from Manhattan. He was warning about the Holocaust, and everybody was ignoring him. In 1947, he was head of the Judiciary Committee, and he was able to get jurisdiction [over immigration] changed from the Labor Committee. He had control over immigration reform. There was a huge attitude change. Exodus had been published. Israel was popular. The other thing was the civil rights movement. Black soldiers were coming back, and there were Jim Crow laws. Those movements drove the 1965 law. Philip Hart, called the conscience of the Senate, was passionate about civil rights. ... They decided to do away with preferences for work skills, and have preferences for family reunification. That’s pretty unique to immigration law—they gave green cards to extended family members.

you are operating under the assumption that depression/anxiety/learned helplessness is primarily or exclusively affected by brain serotonin. My argument is that it is an almost worthless distinction. There are countless studies discussing the effect of gut bacteria and its link with mental health, mood, even disorders such as OCD and intrusive thoughts.
I do not know to what extent gut serotonin acts on brain serotonin - i'm saying it doesn't matter, because the effect of gut serotonin on mental health is quite clear.

I could dump my gf right now and start dating this rich 6/10 (makes a lot of money), but I won’t. Something about her is cursed. She seems like someone whose whole life is worth, and who will commit suicide by age 50. It’s made me rethink my life, and how I may be somewhat poor but at least I’m not crazy or stuck in a relationship.

Serotonin isn't well understood. It's better understood functions are not about depression. When someone mentions serotonin to you regarding mental health, it should usually tell you that their ability to tell an ad campaign from an independent study is near nil.
That said, diet certainly does affect many mental health problems, and create a feedback loop that exacerbates them. This also isn't a proven beyond all doubt thing, but it has much better evidence than serotonin theories for good outcomes. [It's also likely to never be proven because it's unethical to force people to eat a certain diet; prison and hospital studies are at the edge of that, and show some evidence of dietary impacts on not just depression and anxiety, but also violence.] A well varied diet and cardiovascular exercise are boring long term habits, like social skills are, so it's hard to prescribe those, and compliance is limited by socioeconomic status as well as other factors, which leaves a lot of market space for all kinds of other theoretical treatments with less or worse evidence.

Good morning, gentlemen. Fuck the world.

[Anonymous No.20207463]

stuck in this retarded situation where I only see this girl (who has a *shimpy* boyfriend) at public events such as shows and who despite showing some interest has denied all my attempts online/offline to see her alone. I see her often and each time I get more and more willing to do something sexual (and immoral) 'in public'. I know this is the path to sexual harassment but it doesn't seem that way. It seems like she wants to be as least guilty as possible and so she shows really subtle signs of interest thus making me get closer and closer on my own accord. There's also some underlying feminist mind fuckery to all of this I'm sure.

One interesting thing to note is how coercive she can be herself. she's psychologically dominant over many and leads her group of friends around. On top of this she also feels guilt from this control she exerts and makes comments to her friends about their autonomy and how they can 'say no' to her requests. I disregard most of what she says of course but still it sits somewhere in my head. Anyway this situation is causing me an unreal amount of pain. The fact that we haven't been alone for more than 5 minutes throughout this entire nearly 8 month 'relationship' adds to the terrible ambiguity of this all.

I can't tell if any of this is real.

When even I see images like this, I imagine myself being there and just walking towards that horizon and not stopping. I remember my friend was once dog sitting in some house in the countryside and he said to me "I was looking out of the window at the hills and fields and I just had this urge to drop everything and walk into those fields and never come back" and that sounded very similar to how I feel a lot of the time. Sure, if you did that irl you'd probably just end up coming across some city or road, but its just the idea of looking at a horizon and wondering "whats out there", "what fantastical would could be lurking over that hill, what wonders could be out there"
I know this is cope of the highest order, its pure escapism, a longing to escape our mundane lives.

I've met an incredibly wealthy Chinese national that is essentially crazy, I see her life playing out in divorce and then marrying someone who will enjoy her wealth at age 50. Really enjoyable girl to be around but someone that has made themselves into nothing more than a toy.

If you don't know then shut the fuck up! I'd be much more open to discussing the gut brain axis in general, but you seem determined to fight against the fact that serotonin levels are not evenly distributed throughout the body.
>because the effect of gut serotonin on mental health is quite clear.
You're the one making assumptions. I don't believe that mental health is monocausal to one neurotransmitter. Sniffing Oxytocin can also diminish the symptoms of OCD, and I'm sure there's plenty of others. You're also assuming that 'gut bacteria' and gut serotonin are related. You're also assuming that serotonin can pass the blood brain barrier. I'm not sure monoamines can pass it.
Don't conflate them. Nor is denying a single neurotransmitter that exists in different concentrations throughout different parts of the body somehow "mind-body duality". As such localized concentrations vary within different brain regions as well.
Also you might be interested in looking into the Vagus Nerve which is essential to the gut-brain axis. Anxiety can be the result of a pinched Vagus Nerve, which can have other complications that don't conflict with your vague pronouncements: that if the VN is pinched then that can mean that there isn't proper signalling about digestion, and guess what? There's the reason for mood disorders. You mentioned blood glucose earlier?
If your VN doesn't signal properly, then food doesn't get digested properly, which means that you're not going to have the ability to produce the glucose which you need for proper brain function.
Is this an own? No. I'm not saying you're wrong. I'm saying shut the fuck up about gut serotonin like it's the silver bullet.
>>20207349
Is your posture good?
There is also a crazy theory that if you eat more locally produced goods, especially honey and cheese, it can offset a lot of problems because the local ecosystem is more balanced. Don't know how or if this works in metropolitan cities. But it does make sense: villagers drinking unpasteurized milk and cheese made with the rennet of their local goats will have more harmonious gut flora.
