You don’t interact with women out of fear or disappointments?
I just see a lot of picky “incels” around here. Women are objects to them, the worst side effect of porn imo, and they end up believing they’re owed better (IE, virginal, traditional/old dress, no tattoos, etc.). Didn’t mean to come off as judgmental. Just talking basics. You can and should have your preferences. But how about the homely half Asian/Caucasians? A Filipina even?

>> No.21313502

Ive been attempting to see my inability to commit to my creative desires as a fear that is not self serving. It is almost like a fear of death, in the sense that ive made my ability to produce something beautiful so important to me that.. if i try and fail over and over i might consider it akin to a death sentence.. and so i tend to not try at all so that the possibility that i might or could remains open and that fear is staved off.. but it is dawning on me that i will have to face that fear at some point and try anyways.. to try everyday even. It is like a fear of death. I cant be afraid forever.. its been almost a decade now.. and I thankfully at least have confidence in my tastes, but self production is another matter. Thankfully also im getting quite bored of the things that Ive used to procrastinate doing so.. I feel I might be at the gateway to giving in to that passion without that perfectionism and fear that inhibits me very soon.. because also, the alternative is also a kind of death, a stasis, ..and is beginning to seem more frightening a prospect than trying and failing over and over.. because i can at least admire my own courage and commitment that way..

Thanks for the advice, but I avoid workplace romances like the plague. It seems like a bad idea if you consider the relationship going south, but you still have to work with your ex and pretend nothing happened. I'd rather not deal with that.

>>21313479
I don't interact with them because most of the women in the old socisl club I used to hang around were not really compatible with me on a mental level. I like learning new things and talking about them in depth. Most women don't like that, which is fine. I honestly think this gives me more time to focus on my research and to hone my skills in public speaking really.

I honestly prefer half Asian/Caucasian women to pure Asian women. I don't know what it is but I feel they have a lot to say when it comes to livong in two differenr cultures at the same time and that fascinates me.

Outside of school, the only place I could really see myself flirting with a woman is a social club of some kind. Bars attract the wrong sorts of people and are too loud and other venues just don't really compliment that type of socializing very well.

Been thinking about a short story in which the protagonist is a kind of prison guard chasing an unidentified man/creature across the country by car, staying in various motels. He goes to places that would be extremely pleasurable or desirable to persuade the creature to stay near him and stay under his watch, bribes it with drugs, etc. because it cannot be restrained by any physical means. The creature is consistently pessimistic and seems not to enjoy anything, while the guard has a wonderful time enjoying the small pleasures in life.

Here's a serious question to you as we are pretty much in the same situation: At this age and so on, do you honestly think it's worth to put the work in to keep a gf? Do you really love her unconditionally? How do you deal with the strange conversations like you described, it feels disrespectful and humiliating sometimes.

I also find it hard to deal with the fact that I missed youth love and sex, while she had it all and more. Sometimes things just feel like a chore. Still it's better with her than without everything considered, so I guess I'll have to keep her and hope for the best.

The moment you overcome sex is the moment when your default reaction upon seeing a picture of a cute girl's pussy and ass doesn't come from your imaginative faculty projecting a fantasy of what that pussy and ass would be like to lick and fuck, like it normally does, but from your memory calling up the infinity of actual times you finally attained the pussy and ass and there was that split second of "oh yeah, this is all it is, this is all it ever was" realization, as the fantasy met reality and you realized it's literally just a pussy and an ass, it's just a couple of smelly holes, and every girl has her own unique weird little smell or quirk or imperfection

That split second gap between the fantasy pussy and the real pussy, before your animal side takes over, is an infinitesimal blip at first, but after years of experiences it builds up just enough substance in your memory to become something you can hold onto as a distinct "fact" about pussy and ass, and once you start making the association upon seeing new pussies and new asses that no matter how good they look on your computer screen, they too will inevitably have that split second of "oh yeah it's just this," they stop being the purely fantasy imaginary pussy and ass that absorbs you into it, and you can take a step back and go wait a minute, that's all it ever was? Pussy and ass? Just two smelly holes and every girl smells a little different and tastes kind of tart for the first four seconds?

It's amazing to hold the two states in exactly equal balance and then engage with sexual thoughts, it's like watching Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde duke it out inside my soul, one of them utterly convinced that putting your face in the woman monkey's ass is the highest form of happiness any being could experience, the other one going "it's just an ass though?" infinitely, neither one able to convince the other

I am tired of reading. Never been able to develop a set of authors I really like and get into, usually just read haphazardly whatever I've come by.
Now it feels like wasted time. I look back at my youth and there's nothing there, so few memories, because of my anti social tendencies. Reading feels more and more like a way of avoiding life. I can shut myself away and read for hours but what have I gained wasting my youth away with no tangible skills to show for it? Yet if Im not reading I would just waste the time in even worse ways just playing videogames or browsing social media.
Now when I read though the words somehow just feel dead. Without a life of any kind, what meaning can story have to a man as detached as me? Lines on a page. Haven't read a fiction book in years where I felt an immediate connection and interest.
The last author I felt that way with was probably Borges. When i was a freshman I really liked Kafka.
Tried reading the Aenid today and it was so boring I felt like sleeping. Gave up on that and started "The Man Without Qualities" but then also lost interest as I found the narrator vaguely annoying and he reminds me too much of myself.
The bigger issue is I feel passionless, like I have no actual skills in the real world. Years of reading have not made me adept in any subject. And I lack any coherent worldview.

Of course, there's a spark of divine inspiration in the best art and talent can't be made to appear out of thin air, but it's also a craft that can be worked at and improved.

I want to like my father but he can be difficult and sadly oblivious. He wants to talk to me, but doesn't really know how, so he monologues to me about some TV show or game he played for like 10 minutes without interruption and fails to notice that I am not interested. It's stressful and I always try to leave as soon as I can. I can tell he is trying though, because he will cut himself off once he realizes what he is doing. I dunno. It's hard for me to speak with him and be interested in what he's saying, even though I do want to, because I have a lot of baggage. I blame him a lot for terrorizing me as a child, and failing to be any kind of good father figure. As a little kid I felt very alone, unable to depend on my parents when I needed them for guidance, so I gained a strong need to be independent and do things by myself. My lack of direction as I reached adolescence, where I became overcome by my overwhelming loneliness, lead me to search everywhere for this kind of father-figure teaching, and so I fell in with shitty internet communities that preached "dark triad personality" and incel shit, which just further harmed and ended any good relationship that did come along.
I've never felt like I could have an honest conversation about this with my father, like I could confront him about these feelings. I resent his lack of trying as well; he continues to age and do mostly nothing but watch TV with his free time. He at least is nice now and no longer pressures me about work or school, but even that feels somewhat empty because it feels like just a response to the suicidal mental breakdowns I had over fearing flunking college. Why did it have to come to that for him to acknowledge my pain? He also no longer tries to verbally abuse me, as he did so many times as I grew up, because the last time he did (which was over me getting my car towed) I shouted and fought back. It did not take much.
I can't help but see him more and more as a weak stupid coward as I grow up, who does not know how to respond to problems without rage and anger. He's the kinda guy to start screaming at a 16 year-old waitress for messing something up. In the past he has threatened to kill himself to his own wife, as well as to me, in response to when I tried to confide to him how I was struggling with handling college pressure.
As I learn about his own father and how he was grew up, I am able to understand more his point of view, but I cannot forgive his lack of trying. All he would need to do is try. I can forgive everything else, if he would just try.

I had a very similar problem. You have to let go. Nothing matters. Certainly not literature. What you do or do not write is not going to make you any more or less than you are. Your immortality does not rest on it. All writing is forgotten eventually, turned to dust. There will be a time when even Homer and Shakespeare are wiped from history.
What you need to do is fall in love with the actual process of writing. You need to find that feeling of flow, of 'presence', when you write. To do that you need to let go of any big goals or dreams, any pressure, anything that exists outside of the word you are currently typing.
Maintaining an obsessive journaling habit (3 years and 2 million words) also paved the way to my own creative freedom, I believe.
What you wrote in your post was good. Imagine if you just kept doing that. You need to make space in your life where you return every day to do that.

I understand why so many young men are frustrated with life today. Women are just so much better than men nowadays in every way. Every girl I know immediately got their driver's license, a job and went to college the first moment they could. It's exclusively men who are lonely and wallowing in their misery at home, often unemployed and uneducated. Women casually collect degrees and grab all the careers in the world today while men have no idea how to apply themselves or build a future. It's women who are savvy with tech and mass culture while men are left in the dust confused with their masculinity. And we wonder why so many young men are either filled with resentment or are so insecure about their pathetic masculinity that they become women. Women are smarter, more educated, more laborious, and more actively engaged with the world. Society today is completely and utterly catered towards women. Every man envies them deep down.

A continuation of my blogposting that i feld the need to continue. I woke up in the middle of the night and cried a little. Even my fantasies are lost to me now, as even in them i cannot will it see myself being happy with another person. I just think to myself, how a body and mind like mine, neither of which posses a single attribute of what is generally in the realm of handsomeness, beauty or virility, could ever attract anything but revulsion in the opposite sex. I at least used to be able to mend my mind of the harsh reality with daydreaming and fantasies but even those are now lost to men, as even in the domain of my own mind i'am now rejected or laughed at. I'am rejecting, as if on principle, that something as ugly and frail as me should be allowed felicity, it would be a crime of nature and beauty. Now the only thing i can dream of, and hope and pray for, is that gods above, or something else, give me the strength and courage to point a pistol at my ribcage and pierce this senseless heart of mine.

I have become increasingly convinced that the further movement of history depends on the destruction of the United States.

The United States is acting like a clog in the drain of history. It is the ultimate locus of both neoliberal capitalism and liberal democracy, and on these two matters history has become stuck. Fukuyama is on to something when he calls the American arrangement the "end of history."

But for anything new or interesting to happen America is going to have to be gotten out of the way. The entire reason that "nothing ever happens" is that these two dead ends of history are joined in the nexus of overwhelming financial, military, and cultural power that is the United States. If we want things to start happening again we are going to have to do something about America.

This is why the whole "America First" and "Make America Great Again" idea is a dead end. America can't be fixed because America IS the problem. It's the great problem of our time. The question is, what is the solution?

i had an impossible talk where i tried to convince a political scientist PhD student (yes he was a Marxist) that not only was the question of Evil valid but extremely useful in attempting to understand politics, systems and group dynamics. he kept telling me that there was no need to posit such a force as Evil and that all could be explained WITHOUT attributing any moral dimension to the actions within the prevailing structures of power. And then of course, as I expected, he brought up Nietzsche. Basically he wanted me to work in a moral relativist frame so that he could insist that what was actually damaging wasn't a systems corruption or moral degeneracy but that the very act of making money ('exploitation') was the real cause for all the depravity. I have no problem conceding here and trying to integrate into the problem of Evil but it was so hard to get a word in when he started seething at my use of theological language and concepts. Why are they so triggered when you mention morality or Evil?

I wonder where the Reddit notion of "critical thinking" derives from. These sorts often seem to view it as some kind of vaccine that automatically innocolates people from all the "bad things" (e.g propaganda, demagoguery, bigotry etc). The line is usually that society needs more critical thinking and it needs to be taught in schools, but no one can define the specific contents of this magical quality. Knowledge is viewed as a simple additive process like adding products to an amazon shopping cart. And of course the universities are free from all possibility of propaganda. They are beacons of unbiased enlightenment, transforming the unformed shapeless masses into responsive enlightened citizenry that can discuss entertaining and informative podcasts. Propaganda is a nasty thing propagated by all the people I happen to dislike.
If you take an intro course to sociology your brain will expand to the size of a melon and you will be immediately Iifted above the uneducated swine masses (who we by the way love cause, like, democracy is so important and I support it 100).
If I can dissect this perspective, behind it there lurks this assumption of a shared "we", of shared profit, of which "critical thinking" is really another word to say "is similar to me". All comforming to the same same set pattern: from unenlightened to enlightened, from bigoted/parochial to independent/detached.
So in a way the word in it's common usage today is the opposite of itself, secretly promoting uniformity of culture and thought.

It's a soul-signature protecting & perpetuating itself. There are unwritten political rules to that signature. And policing forces are close to keep the integrity of that soul-signature/monad. All that to say, it is useless to 'revolt' against the 'reddit's world', as it only reinforces the power against which the revolting is made. The wise move is to understand your own essence; the nature of our own shitpostering lair. And to worship its power at its shrine. True resistance is about being sovereign in your own form.
>>21316912
They vilify Saturn. because it is the principle of form. (pro-tip: they want you formless.) There is a redditor's Saturn. There is a 4channeler's Saturn. The form struggles are the most essential because they claim the absolute authority by setting meta-coordinates. So, do not fall for the psyop: cherish Saturn. Study it. Work with it.

That is, most probably, because you now feel free within _your own_ boundaries. While before these were the boundaries imposed upon you from without. Alchemists believed that Saturn holds the root of wisdom. And its material (lead) is cheap & abundant, so could be purified more easily to a noble quality. They were very much concerned about the nobility (of metals and other things), because saw it as the light of God.

Think our posting here. It is a variation of 'lead': cheap, useless, no symbolic order to interpret it. However, could the situation be turned around? Mercury flashes between and beneath and suddenly the communication becomes ennobled. The bright horizon appears. And we're not just wasting our time, losers amongst losers, but doing the work.

Critical thinking is being aware of: statistical significance, cognitive biases, logical fallacies, behavioral economics and game theory, positive skew in publication, soundness/validity in arguments, placebo effects, 24-hour news cycles, probability theory, regression to the mean, an understanding of basic cognitive psychology (memory, vision, decision-making), and other tools which help you assess beliefs or statements with more rigour than simple gut reaction.They are neutral to underlying ideology.

Good question. It is a mystery and cannot be known with an ordinary consciousness. If I were to speculate, I'd say the stone is the quality of purification of your own soul. (Or a soul of a certain physical object.) That is, of course, if we can leave materialism aside.

Boundaries are good — think boundaries as style; a personal rhythmic pattern — if their are coming naturally from inside of your deepest core. Why Saturn and anxiety? Taken as form and stability, it would make it confidence and certainty. In its peak, such certainty would even transcend death. So, the white pill. Ha, the White Stone.

Talent is early childhood skill development by repetition that intersects with any latent capacity or advantage in a given skill. That's all 'talent' means. If you weren't putting hundreds of hours into different skills from a young age, you were never going to find anything you felt talented in.
Vice that, if you start putting in hours into skills now, you are still just as capable of discovering that affinity or preternatural capacity; its just not going to FEEL like talent, because your perception of your skill is skewed by the relative capacities of others who have been developing their 'talent' since the crib.

I can sympathize. People say they don't regret the things they did do, but the things they didn't do. For me, it's the opposite. The things I regret the most are the things I tried and in retrospect, stupidly because they ended in failure, embarrassment, and disappointment. It's hard to push forward when you don't feel like you have anything to be confident about, and worse, things to be ashamed about and embarrassed of.

Andrew Tate said something about how important it was for him to partner with his brother and how most men should do this.

I thought that was great and I thought about how I wanted that. And then I realized that I never had that, and if I were to ever have it, I'd have to build it myself. I've always been alone. I have a brother, but he's never been reliable. The burden has always fallen on me and me alone. No father. No uncle. No cousin. No brother. Nobody. It's always just been me.

>> No.21318472

Tate's bond with his brother was born out of borderline fatherly abuse and poverty as a young man. Suffering will bring people together like nothing else; but are we really going to sit here and lionize shitty fortunes?
Be glad you and your brother never had it rough enough that you needed to rely on others as a child (or that you were strong enough to only need rely on yourself). Also, stop watching Andrew Tate, that aspirational pedestalization of the rich and famous is utter brain poison. Remind yourself the man is a pornographer and human trafficking magnate and no amount of Bugattis justifies that.

I grew up in a somewhat similar situation. I love my brother very much and we have a strong bond, but I just don't find him reliable. This is my point. I did need to rely on my brother. I just couldn't, because he wasn't reliable. I don't give Andrew any legitimacy because he has some money. I think the idea is appealing, and this is the first video I've ever watched from the guy out of sheer curiosity. He's not something I aspire to.

I'm so frustrated and annoyed right now. Both of my older brothers are extremely needy and helpless. They're always asking my dad for money. They've both recently receieved significant quantities from him and they've both wasted that money on something other than what they said they would use it for. Now I need to ask my dad for a couple hundred bucks to pay for classes and transfer applications. There's currently 2 contractors who owe me money but wont give it over. I busted my ass off for that extra money i needed specifically for these applications and they just wont fucking pay. And now, after my useless parasite brothers have squandered my dad's money, I have to humbly and shamefully ask for a bit of financial help so I can actually do somethibg with my life. And I just fucking know that when I ask he is going to be extremely pissed and I'll have to bear the burden of his wrath for weeks.
What pisses me off especially is that this has been an ongoing proboem for my entire life. My older brothers have always been dramatic spastics who would do all this bullshit for attention, sucking all the oxygen out of the room. My dad was always so busy dealing with them that I got nothing but his leftover stress and bitterness. I harbor so much resentment against them. If I ever have a drama queen child I will fucking ignore him or her and spoil the shit out of my quiet and well behaved kids.

You have to be always drunk. That's all there is to it—it's the only way. So as not to feel the horrible burden of time that breaks your back and bends you to the earth, you have to be continually drunk.

But on what? Wine, poetry or virtue, as you wish. But be drunk.

And if sometimes, on the steps of a palace or the green grass of a ditch, in the mournful solitude of your room, you wake again, drunkenness already diminishing or gone, ask the wind, the wave, the star, the bird, the clock, everything that is flying, everything that is groaning, everything that is rolling, everything that is singing, everything that is speaking. . .ask what time it is and wind, wave, star, bird, clock will answer you: "It is time to be drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of time, be drunk, be continually drunk! On wine, on poetry or on virtue as you wish."

Not really. I can occasionally fetch a decent price for a portrait, but I'm not good at advertising myself.

Entirely. It's challenging, it's sublime, it's fun.

The thing is that no matter what side of the political spectrum people are on, those values are always true -- for them. If liberals apply more "critical thinking", they will be only better at honing their own ideas, and vice versa. Any affiliation assumes that critical thinking and "factual knowledge" works, because ultimately they will put those things to their own purposes. Not to go all Jordan Peterson, but WHICH FACTS matters, and you can't select unbiasedly from an infinite amount of facts.

So, when liberals look at history they see slavery and racism, and that's "proof" of their theories -- and when conservative see history they see the triumph of the rule of law and free markets, and that's proof of theirs. Often their concerns can't even be coherently compared -- hence the perpetual talking past each other. So, knowledge means fuck all. Critical thinking is also a null value, because the people who CAN think critically are already doing that. And the people who CAN but WON'T think critically DON'T WANT TO.

They're women. Most women are literal infants in grown-up bodies. Before I had my share of years-long experiences living with women I didn't get why older men seemed misogynistic. The truth is that they only want constant entertainment and stimulation, like children. Women of true faith aside most of them don't even THINK about things. From atheists who believes in astrology and tarot cards down to literal fucking idiots who are surprised to learn abortion is baby-murder or that sex actually symbolizes something more than brief entertainment for the rest of the population, I've never heard more ignorant and soulless things than phrases coming out of the mouth of a woman.
I think only old women and women who had fathers can understand concepts such as virtue. Others are too untethered to the real world. They've been babied their whole lives, who can blame them?

It contrasts the coolness of throwing away such an advantage with the humiliation of being reduced to an undifferentiatable member of a disgusting group.

It reminds me of the part of Denial of Death:

>As Montaigne put it, on the highest throne in the world man sits on his arse. Usually this epigram makes people laugh because it seems to reclaim the world from artificial pride and snobbery and to bring things back to egalitarian values. But if we push the observation even further and say men sit not only on their arse, but over a warm and fuming pile of their own excrement—thd joke is no longer funny. The tragedy of mans dualism, his ludicrous situation, becomes too real. The anus and its incomprehensible, repulsive product represents not only physical determinism and boundness, but the fate as well of all that is physical: decay and death.

It's representative of the dualism of the ability to comprehend and imagine higher principles and things while also being stuck in a determined, rotting body.

Just as when you encounter a door, you automatically recall procedural knowledge relating to it's operation, and if you explicitly focus, speculative knowledge relating to doors, so the same principle applies when you meet up with different people. This is why with some people we are more lucid, we act and move strange, we get serious, we revert to some attitude, etc.

It's the advantage of a disadvantage. If you lowered the difficulty of your aims, motivation would probably come to a halt.

They are. You are just generalizing from most people you've met. But the vast majority of people act basically automatically and unconsciously.

Well I'm addicted to tranny porn and sex with them. Addicted to Grindr app too. The first step is admitting you have a problem. I wonder often if I'll ever be worth a real woman's touch again, which is insane, because I've had women who want to be with me despite knowing my issues. I jacked off three times today. I'm 24 and I'm worse at talking to girls now than I was when I was 18 and I hadn't been doing this shit regularly for 4 years. Thank God I have a decent resume, a good physique and face, and my family doesn't know (or at least hasn't made any gay jokes at my expense in 4 years). I don't really know what the right way to deal with this is. Religion hasn't worked but I haven't put the real work in either. Some of the occult shit in books like Prometheus Rising is starting to sound like an appealing option and I'm worried I'm being led down an even worse path than I've been on. Crazy shit man!

You're still not true-to-self is why. If you're young that's reasonably normal, if not then you probably lack serious self-initiated life experience.

If you are referring to me, nothing I said implied philosophical determinism. That we are to some extent physically determined would be absolutely retarded to deny.

Also, determining your position so that it needs to be the opposite of some other groups for social reasons is retarded. No better than "hitler did that so it's bad" argumentation.

The geezerly clock infrequently tick ticks and tock tocks a slow symphony of my own requiem. The new fan spins slowly, gently puffing the baroque air between the cold of an open window and the warmth of a boiling pot of water. But why boil the water? I wonder. I think, very, very much. And the water boils; while in my own flesh I freeze. My melancholic gaze drifts towards a towel. Or is it a towel? (I think). It was actually a shirt, but I did not notice. I was unable to notice because the sink was dirty and filled with dirty dishes colored yellow, tangerine and blue, but with earthy hues of mold and food-stuffs, long since forgotten to the care of the world.

Suddenly, a sparrow dies with a thrush, and the slow blooming violent shivers. Meanwhile, the door creaks open. I wonder, how did that door come to be? (I think). Then, it closes again.

Is it true that people in the past believed that smoking makes you stronger and healthier?
In the Hitler movie Downfall there's one part where Himmler is talking to one of the other top Nazi guys and they're worried about Hitler's physical condition because he's getting weak and frail and Himmler says "What do you expect from a non-smoking, teetotalling vegetarian"

>They're women. Most women are literal infants in grown-up bodies. Before I had my share of years-long experiences living with women I didn't get why older men seemed misogynistic. The truth is that they only want constant entertainment and stimulation, like children.

Damn, son, I know being a millennialoid faggot is tough, but there's no need to project all your generation's problems on anybody else.
