Someone asked me in the last thread how things have changed since the best time of my life and I went on a tangent

Re:Hanging out in the oughts with my old friends. Everyone else got married and had kids. I didn't and regret it. Though its not my fault. I mean most of the women I dated were bona fide whores. Two of them with penchant for coal burning. I know its not right but I physically accosted both of them. At 39, even though I'm a sexhaver I sympathize with incels that I hang out with them on forums and I'm still alone to this day. Hell my last ex accused me of rape even though she was more into it than I was. Women should have absolutely no rights at all.

Going overseas next year. Don't know whether to go to Korea or the UK. Government gives me $6000 if I go to Korea and adds on $1200 for the overseas study loan if I go to anywhere in East Asia. But I'm not really intrested in going to Korea or really learning the language.

Father came home with the good bread again. It was only a matter of time... Some people drown their pain away with liquor and drugs. Me? I drown my bread with olive oil and balsamic...and it causes my pain. What can I say? I'm an addict. Half a loaf? Full loaf? A loaf and a half? Makes no difference to me, Ill eat whatever's there. My family wakes me up some mornings. "Where'd all the bread go?! Did you eat the whole loaf?!!" It all seems so ridiculous, but then again, aren't all addictions? I can't help myself. That golden oil slowly soaking into the slice as that sweet sweet vinegar seeps into it. Its just so beautiful. I become entranced. I disassociate. Sleepless nights rolling around in bed caused by the pains in my stomach. Sometimes I wonder if this affliction will kill me one day. Maybe its not such a bad way to go out...Only God knows at this point. For now I must get back to the bread. I can hear it calling my name....That beautiful loaf and those gleaming bottles of Gallo and Colavita.

My body is ready.

everything i write carries with it a terrible sneering tone. sneering at the world, and then when that's not done, sneering at itself and then sneering at the reader. it's rarely apparent when actually writing, but always apparent on re-reading. even when i try to do something silly and lighthearted, the result always carries the aftertaste of sneering. but i couldn't for a single moment isolate the problem well enough to eliminate it.

i don't envy better writers, but writers with flaws i can identify, because i sit and think: they either missed this, which would be bliss, or they settled and sent it out to the world anyway. they had the courage to open up and share what they had to say, flaws be damned. but in my case, it's not a question of showing some spelling errors, some bad plotting, or some obviously stolen jokes, it's a matter of showing off some terrible inner sickness, a sneer that stretches out to the corners of the universe, a sneer that manages to sneer even at its own sneering.

To me it's even just the fact I'm going overseas. Could be Pakistan for all I care but I do want to go somewhere were I think I would enjoy more. I never really though of going to Korea before I knew there was Government free money for it since I wasn't sure if the loan alone I would get would be enough for the UK or US. I do think some things will be a bit of a waste like learning Korean since I know I won't be learning it outside of the fact of going to Korea or being in it.

Having a really difficult time finding a job. Everything is so bloated. I have to look for places that are hiring. Fill out an application since most places don't take resumes. Then usually do an assessment then a phone interview then an in person interview. It's ridiculous.
This week I have 3 interviews. One was a phone interview where I was left on hold for 20 minutes to be told they cancelled the position and to apply to their other jobs.
Another was also a phone interview. After it I had to do an assessment and fill out a more detailed application. The assessment was literally an IQ test. Same type of Mensa shit I took in high school. Was not ready for this.
Tomorrow I have a zoom interview. Never ending. I'm tired and just want a job.

I was really tired yesterday and I didn't really finish my thought, and I worry you were offended by my insensitivity. I've had my share of mental illness too, but I think I was arrogant.

What I want to add is that a big thing to do with faith is that suffering is no longer meaningless. It isn't exactly good in the sense that it should be self-induced, except maybe in some controlled form (often fasting) but it is not for nothing. Islamically it is often said that man oscillates between states that should be marked by patience or gratitude. My understanding, and God knows best, is that patience means simply to believe that God is good, is merciful, will come; not to seek ways out other than Him and wait, but also to know that this is enough. As far as He is concerned: this is enough. You don't have to chase. It has been said by the Prophet that whoever prays as we do, with our directoin of prayer, and eats we do is upon the protection of God and the Prophet. If you do this then you *know* you are doing your bare minimum. You are upon a promise. Ibn Taymiyyah quoted this hadith in a later fatwa of his, so it is not abrogated. Now if you get your power back, then a way to show gratitude could be to do more. But enough is enough. You have your peace with God. There is the following:

> Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira:

>The Prophet said, "No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that."

these moments are not for nothing. I believe karmically minded religions view this kind of thing similarily.

I hope I did not offend you, and that the links work, I'm not sure.

Neil Gaiman. Neil fucking Gaiman. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I'm reading a wikipedia article on some dead fantasy author. You know who's name I find? Neil Gaiman. He is apparently the appointed eulogist for dead fantasy authors. He has had his picture taken with everyone he's ever met, and none of them have ever smiled. It's his obsession to get a picture with anyone and everyone semi-famous.

So I'm watching a Hayao Miyazaki documentary. Mr. Miyazaki goes to L.A. to see the dub of Spirited Away or some shit. Neil fucking Gaiman shows up with his best bud Harvey Weinstein and within a minute this fucking cocksucker is asking for a picture, and the poor confused elderly Japanese man suddenly wishes he never left his office back in Japan.

Here's the progressives wife: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsiQ6UkxTxw Btw they had an "open" relationship which means she licks pussy and he gets to watch. Woopie fucking doo for Neil Fucking Gayman.

He is the Will Wheaton of literature, that Scientologist cocksucker.

Why is arguing Shroud of Turin is genuine such a big deal? If it is 'real' that doesn't not prove that Jesus of Nazareth was the son of God, the Christ. All it does is prove that it is the imprint of a historical fellow from ancient Palestine.
I don't think the important thing is proving the historicity of Jesus of Nazareth. Because proving he was a actual person who lived seems to me to be one of the least contentious parts of the whole Christianity thing.
It just feels like an ass-backwards way to go about it. That if you want to prove God exists first you need to prove that this little piece of cloth had the face of Jesus... no, fuck the cloth, figure out if God exists first. Then all the other stuff will fall into place.
I wonder, what are some non theological debates of this type? Surely there must be a word for this kind of deduction or problem solving where you try to prove the epistemological status of something that doesn't even necessarily suggest the epistemological status of the most important thing.

Even though the writers of the first three SpongeBob seasons made fun of far-left activism in one episode, they are rather left-leaning. For this reason, the themes of the series often relate to the real world and its events from a disillusioned but positive, even transcendental perspective. The show has integrated the harsh realities and sufferings of the world as a principle that strongly influenced the overall moral values, humor and aesthetics of the cartoon. In that sense, SpongeBob is a spiritually mature series. A thing that many anime series even with intellectual sophistication lack, as they still cater to primitive, earthly desires and cravings. They are written from a poorly socialized perspective, a lack of emotional, intellectual maturity. It's exactly what Ghibli director Hayao Miyazaki hates so much about modern anime.

The SpongeBob Squarepants series taught us wisdom and explained the dynamics of the adult world before we experienced them ourselves - only to forget that wisdom afterwards as we grew up. People can be lost in even the strangest niche or think they found themselves now as adults, but the shows impact on our identity is so strong that as soon as we remember SpongeBob, the call of home, it will outshine almost everything else we're doing for a moment. It is our deeply rooted cultural identity, because the series was so competent at understanding our emotions and humor, coupled with its wisdom and morals. The cartoon is a guiding principle speaking directly into our soul, thats why its so hard for most of us to deconstruct or dismiss SpongeBob as just another piece of media we blindly liked as children. Our collective relationship to the series is the antidote for nihilism, it speaks meaning even if you try to ignore it. That is what fuels the potential for a cultural revolution. Because in a scattered, fragmented and atomized age, there aren't many common denominators and meaningful experiences engrained in our unconscious as a group. It doesn't matter what ethnic background a person has or the social class they come from, as long as they grew up in an industrialized country in the last 25 years, chances are they spent a lot of time watching SpongeBob and strongly liked the series. Of course there are exceptions, but comparatively speaking, it is by far the most popular media phenomenon of my generation. We don't have a better contemporary alternative than that.

Is your sense of smell related to your ability to feel alive like mine is? I feel like I haven't had any real feelings in many years but sometimes I will get something that is like a cross between a feeling and memory of how things used to feel, and it often is associated with being able to smell again.

I can' really explain it any better. I can normally smell things but when I smell things "properly" it's like all the color and meaning that is there but invisible to me is suddenly visible again. Only for a fraction of a second then it's gone again.

Yeah. This appears to be pretty common with what people call "depression". But to me it doesn't feel like depression. It's more like being emotionally lobotomized. The world used to have a smell for everything and it corresponded with the variety of life, but now every place has the same smell and it's just "nothing". Bad smells used to be genuinely repulsive, while good smells were wonderful. Now it's all the same.

You can try SSRIs, but from what I've seen, if your condition isn't SSRI-induced to begin with they will likely change nothing.

I'm finally gonna do it, I'm gonna fix everything by the end of the year.
Blog poast incoming: my life has been in a holding pattern for 5-6 years with a 12-20 month interlude. I have had no idea how to break this 'back to square one' pattern. I got a gf, I twice got jobs. but she broke up with me and the contracts ended. I'm always back to square one. I dated other women but none turned into long term relationships.
Why don't the changes last? If laziness and inactivity was the problem, why did putting in the effort not lead to lasting changes?
I used to think it was everything from 'lack of discipline', then 'lack of charisma', 'lack of opportunity' but now I see that opportunity is something that doesn't actually "exist" in any objective sense, you need to "discover" opportunities. It's a lot like the theory of Affordances. A pedestrian sees these stairs different than someone doing parkour.
the problem is that I suck at improvisation and seeing opportunities. my thinking is that I'll write myself a self-help book, it'll explain step by step what I need to do to better exploit and discover environments for opportunities with a particular emphasis in "and THEN what?"
one crucial thing is it can't be: "I'll do task A... and then task B"
It has to be "if I do Task A then tasks B, C, and maybe E become more possible"

had a dream. i was in the middle of a room with a good friend. we're surrounded on all sides by a circle of very attractive women i don't recognize. me and my friend are reenacting the "go ahead, make my day" scene from Dirty Harry. at the end one of the annoyingly attractive women scoffs derisively at us. i look to my friend and say, "have i ever told you how much i hate women?" and all the women in the room respond in chorus "constantly"

All you ever wanted was to be listened to. Hiding behind the drunk afterglow on your face and beneath the black, goofy look in your eyes is a small person sitting in a black pit, listening to the wind, the sounds of footsteps, hearing and feeling the warm voices passing by the walls, waiting for just one glance, alone.
There's more damage and fleshy clumsiness surrounding it than there is you. You're more the product of that than whatever free will that led you here, the same free will telling you to try so hard to be a person, staring into an invisible camera that was never really there, like a face trapped in a photograph. What did you become? Who are you? What empty room are you going to yell into next? Everyone's had enough of headless chickens like you, your smear. No one remembers what you were like as a child. You're gonna die in the banal darkness of starvation and we won't remember.
You're going to leave behind a grey corpse. I hate seeing the muscles on your face move. You don't talk. Your mouth muscles just move. You're just a body of tissue moving in the world, dumb moving parts, small man. The blackness of a room behind a slightly open door, the slit leering carefully. Just a machine in an empty room. You can only do so much. If your mom is bipolar, which part of her loves you? There was never a cage to rattle in the first place. I'm old and insane.

Long Answer is "probably not but can't say so for sure unless you answer a series of contextualizing questions": What type of trauma do you have? Why are you continuing to suffer from it - and why would you be able to fix this just from reading books? Why don't you want to see a professional?

>Abjectivism - a philosophical system that sees consciousness as a process of 'casting off' from the Subject
>Cybernetic Abjectivism - a branch of Abjectivism that sees consciousness as the collision between the Abject and interactive systems and other Abjects creating feedback loops
>Applied Cybernetic Abjectivism Therapy - A school of psychology that attempts to study the Cybernetic Abject feedback loops to understand the causes of tension in consciousness
>Injectivism - a philosophical system that sees consciousness as the 'injecting' of what are called proto-conciousness in the form of different sensory phenomena

There is a world of individual things: here is the table, here is the laptop, here is the pen, here am I, here are you. But there is also a world of commonality: everything that exists has a common denominator: it exists. If you look above the fraction line, you see the individual things; if you look below the fraction line, you see the common ground. Buddhistically, one could add: and the fraction line is drawn by the human mind. But that is too complicated for me. It's enough for me to say: if everything can also be seen as a commonality, and if this attitude of looking at things generates love and responsibility, then I like that.

That thread a month ago or so about anons telling their experiences with BPD girls fucked me up good. It showed me how bad it can get and I’ve even seen it myself on a previous relationship that was much worse than this one.
To be honest, I’m scared. I don’t trust myself with a relationship after these last two. My judgement is fucked and my sense of self-worth is too. Maybe it’s best to just be by myself. But I know that sooner or latter I’ll find someone new, and the fear of being blind again consumes me.

exactly what would be the point of believing in God if you didn't believe in miracles? a miracle really is just something very surprising once you believe in God. It is related that the absolute chad-woman Rabiah, when al Hasan al Basri placed his prayer mat out on the water and said "shall we pray?" simply placed her in mid-air and got up, telling him "why do you try so hard to impress the spirits that abound, Hasan?" Hasan was a dear though, at one point he asked for her hand and she simply replied that she belong to God, and he had to ask Him. Hasan lost his trail of thought either by having been struck down in his effort, or, being the humblest sweetheart, simply because he became so fascinated with what she'd said that he forgot the rest of his life for a moment and asked how she had gotten such a station with Him. She simply replied "oh Hasan, precisely that is the issue: this persistent *how* of yours".

A girl I work with but don't really know at all told me "all men are snakes". Apparently a guy she was talking to spoofed his location to always seem at home when he was in fact somewhere else. I then went and told some other people about it.

I guess she was right. I didn't think too much of doing so at first, why would she tell me that? Someone she barely knows, I'm not even sure she knows my name. It seemed to me something she had probably told multiple people. She didnt exactly whisper it to me either, just don't think anyone else was paying attention.

Either way, again, I guess she was right.

I've been thinking lately about miracles, legends, and myths. Who made them up, why people believed them, and how we perceive truth compared to people centuries ago. Modern man has massive amounts of information and digital tools to organize and access it all. It's changed how we see the world. For most of history, people had no way of verifying the truth. Even the most literate had only a limited set of information. It seems like, back then, the truth was relative. Does that mean their ideas are worthless nonsense? Or is there something valuable in them that's difficult to see?

I don't usually remember my dreams but in conversation with my sister I recalled one (that must have happened a month or two ago) which reflects my life at the moment perfectly. I'm walking thru a party tower complex searching endlessly through the rooms while women come up to me and trail me while I hear their indiscernible voices from behind. At one point I start to descend the tower (which had DJs playing at the top) giving up on finding what ever I was searching for and instead looking for one of the girls which was trailing me at one point and instead switching my focus on finding her.

i didnt learn anything, i have 0 musical background im just a huge fan of music especially internet genres and other esoteric genres. all of this is made digitally and even though i usually use a midi keyboard for melodies i cannot play piano. its just a bunch of bullshit ive been making for 5 years that i have 0 intention of showing to anyone. really i just like making melodies with vintage synth sounds and then adding old drum machine samples to them, i also enjoy cassettes for some reason, its pretty autistic.
i do not consider myself a musician whatsoever. i am horrible at mixing and arranging so many of these demos are just super short pieces with no intro or outro or progression. they will likely remain like this forever.

>hurt.mp3
that one is quite literally one of the first things i ever made and to this day is one of the best things ive ever made.
if you want a breakdown, the guitar is from this songs intro (https://youtu.be/1ZVGF2R1IGg)) and i simply slowed it down, the drums are just some random lofi drums, and as for the samples, theres some chimes and vinyl dust playing throughout the whole thing and then the laughs and screams and moans are all DOOM and Mario Boo samples, I believe the laugh is the boo and the rest are from DOOM. the bass is the only thing on this that i actual play, aside from that its just a bunch of samples arranged.

thanks! i have so much of this shit man and i generally make this stuff in like under 15 minutes. i really embrace the amateur aspect of it too, i like it when things are blown out, shambolic and imperfect. i never sit there trying to make it perfect, partly because i cant but also because perfection is stupid. imagine a kid in the 80s or 90s with a bunch of vintage synths and drum machines making music on a 4-track cassette recorder in their basement. thats generally what i go for when making this stuff.
and i only make this stuff because i believe in creating things regardless of talent or if it will be seen or not(this goes for music, art, writing, screenplays) I have a fantasy of dying with a whole secret oeuvre of creative works so then when people discover it they're like "WOW why did this guy hide all this stuff!?" or like "WOW this guy was fucked!", kind of like that Henry Darger dude if you know who that is.

What distinguishes Information (not the Shannon kind) from Knowledge?
What distinguishes Trivia from Knowledge?
What is wisdom and what distinguishes it from Knowledge?
Can you have 'Knowledge' of fictional things, or does knowledge imply correlation to some 'natural facts'?
What are the implications of Tacit knowledge, like if I know where something is located by using 'muscle memory' (actually perhaps more properly attributable to 'Procedural Memory') but cannot explain through words why I know it, can't give any reasoning for why I know it's there -- and am only able to provide after-the-fact hypotheses, then can I truly be said to have "Knowledge" of the thing?
