The world is a place of penance, and worse none of us know the reason for such condemnation. We continue to suffer week after week, day after day, hour after hour and minute after minute until the day we die. The experience of life is something quick and limited, in no way do we have control over where we are born, how we are born, and why we are born. We are thrown into the world as disposable thinking-beings, our only certainty being that of death, that is, we live to die, we suffer to live.

I think most people are just beypnf any sort of help. Most adults are fucking retarded and the ones that aren't are autistic but in the good way. For most people, high school never ends and it shows in how infantile and childish people act when exposed to any new worldview slightly outside their comforr zone, not even something objectively degenerate or indicative of massive mental problems.

Went to the library today to return a book and there was an independent publishers expo, i am not even sure what these people are supposed to do there, sell their books? Or just Showcase them? I was tempted to hang around, stare at shit and ask questions, but seeing most of the authors? Were arthoe zoomerinas with goth makeup and bangs or $oyj4k tier dudes, i had to step back and leave the place, i wonder what topics they write about . Where do they get money for publishing their books? are writers just richfags living on inheritance money getting art degrees and writing as a sport? Not sure if this is a good or bad thing, I'll probably return out of curiosity, maybe what Im saying is, should you judge authors by their background? I feel stupid reading stuff written by someone who is younger than me, i'd rather read shit by someone who's dead or some old journalist or whatever , its like when you watch porn and then lookup the girl to find out she is 5 years younger than you, i feel scammed.

To clarify, this view is in contrast to something like Aristotle's view on happiness. In my opinion, happiness is not an attainable state that one can reach by certain actions or principles. We are irrational beings driven by desires we don't understand to attain unknowable things that never satisfy our will. On the other hand, animals have it quite simple as they were not given this nature outside of nature, consciousness. They eat and fuck and kill and die without a thought. We are a puppet who cut our own strings. A paradox. An abstraction. A cadaver.

It's interesting you should say this. I had in mind Eudaimonia when I replied to your post. The idea that happiness is absence of pain seemed unintuitive to me, as you could easily reverse it and say pain is the absence of happiness. Which is the positive and which is the negative? Eudaimonia seems more intuitive as it's the hierarchical construction towards a Good rather than the diminishing towards and absence.
It fell in line with my Bible reading for the day which consisted of Romans 7. It says the flesh compells towards evil while the mind inclines towards good.
>15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
Your identification that being removed from natuee and therefore having a mind to know suffering is identified clearly in Romans 7 as it says coming to know the Law is cause for sin
>What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
But Paul identifies here that the Good is to be attained by transcending Law by transcending Flesh and coming into Grace. Our misery is in our middle ground. Reducing ourselves to non conscious animals wont bring happiness because happiness is not negation. We can only attain happiness by rising ourselves to a higher spiritual level
>6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
>7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
>8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

Epistemic status: goblin-mode

I just want to brag about calling effective altruism a bunch of frauds on this board a few months ago when someone asked about their "literature". Lo I am proven correct: a few weeks ago their patron saint (and book-hater (lit-related)) SBF trips over his knuckles and exposes his glorious scamdinaire that EA gladly profited from. They buckle down with their Vox Pipette to release an "interview" that oh so fortuitously distances him from the movement. A-ha. Their damage control has the energy of a dead cow, but luckily most people don't know what in the CULT EA even is. Finally, today, I read they bought a 15 million dollar house to host their events (orgies). I must admit it will be great for all the young university students they are so intent on attracting, allowing them to stay overnight. By the way, I wonder if they realize that by focusing almost exclusively on the ripe-for-picking age bracket they are a) sure to experience another FTX situation down the line where nobody has enough work experience to function legally or coherently and b) putting a giant target on their backs when the young girls are inevitably abused. On the forum, all the concerns are met with "x is hard!" and "thank you for your post!" and moronic/irrelevant, wishy-washy replies are god-mode-upvoted because they're by popular EA (and EA-employed) members (oops forgot EA-adjacent) with all the pretension and delusion that comes with being midway through their favoured "supplement". Anyway, the 15 million won't go to any sort of altruistic endeavor but will instead fund the very practice effective altruists claim is ineffective and which has formed the backbone of their difference in giving. The fact that they are not all condemning this (and I mean ALL of them, even you ACX) and taking action to sell is absurd to the saddest degree. I am right about this.

>A feedback loop is a process in which information or output from one stage is used as input for the next stage, creating a self-reinforcing cycle. In the context of anticipation and perception, a feedback loop could refer to a situation where the act of anticipating something influences or shapes the way it is perceived, and the resulting perception then influences the next round of anticipation. This could create a cycle where anticipation and perception are constantly influencing and affecting each other, potentially leading to a distorted or biased understanding of the situation. Feedback loops can be found in many different systems and processes, and can have both positive and negative effects depending on the specific context and circumstances.

>A feedback loop between anticipation and perception can potentially lead to self-induced hallucinations if the cycle becomes strong enough and the individual becomes highly convinced of the reality of their anticipations. In this situation, the anticipation of a particular experience or event can shape the way it is perceived, leading the individual to believe that they are actually experiencing the anticipated event. This belief can then reinforce the anticipation, creating a stronger and more intense feedback loop. This can result in the individual experiencing hallucinations that are strongly influenced by their anticipations, and that may seem real to them despite not being based in external reality. It is important to note that this is a theoretical scenario and may not necessarily occur in all cases where anticipation and perception are involved in a feedback loop.

>> No.21363955

People always talk about male-perpetrated sexual harassment but nobody ever talks about the constant, relentless sexual harassment men experience at the hands of sluttily-dressed women. When I walk down the street and see a whore with tight clothes on I have no choice but to look at her. My biology is wired in such a way that I am sexually stimulated from such sights, try as I might to avoid them. Combine that with just the industrial levels of “socially acceptable” pornography being churned out on apps like Instagram and Tiktok, which are then spread everywhere throughout the internet (even here in this very thread), and what you have is just an unceasing assault on the male sexual instinct. This is far worse than any “unsolicited compliments” that a woman might get, walking around dressed up as a whore. The victim in that case is the man who was visually assaulted by the woman’s uncouthness, leading him to lose control of himself and act in ungentlemanly ways. The problem is most white men do not give a shit, they want to be animals, they want to live in a matriarchy, and so that’s what they get. For all the talk about the West’s “cultural development”, the Muslim world seems utterly superior.

Once, when I was in my moody adolescent teenage years, I pissed on my bathroom rug.

The bathroom never started to smell and I don't recall any big fuss being made of it in my home. I just sort of moved on with my life.

Graduated, got a great job in which I work less than 30 hours a week, friends are all doing great, got enough time for myself every day to do whatever I want, I get to enjoy my hobbies and weekends with my friends.I feel great.
Yet it feels so shitty without her. I hate how everytime I do something it reminds me of her, and how things that I do to stop thinking about her just remind me why I am doing that in the first place and I hate it, I feel like a prisoner, trapped in my thoughts, and whether I do it for myself or not, I think of her and it feels so hollow.
I try to not think too much about it, I try to enjoy my time, do whatever I want whenever I want to, but something happens, anything, and it reminds me of her.

Why write when AI Chatbots can do it better? Why be creative? Experience life? Emotion? The most human aspects of ourselves are being replicated by machine - this drive toward singularity. Yes nothing matters in the grand scheme of things. Billions who came before living and dying for nothing. And eventually the universe will implode. But this is somehow worse than the threat of potential climate change or civilization collapse or nuclear destruction at our own hands. This is different. It's like getting royally cucked and mogged on a cosmic level. We were the top dog (in our perceptible dimension anyway). Yes we had our gods that we created but it was us all along.

AI chatbots, like all artificial intelligence, are only as good as the data and algorithms they are trained on. While they can be useful for performing certain tasks, they are not capable of the same creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence as a human being. Writing is a complex and nuanced art that requires a deep understanding of language, culture, and the human experience, which AI chatbots are not currently capable of replicating. Additionally, writing allows us to express ourselves in unique and personal ways, and to connect with others in a meaningful way. AI chatbots, on the other hand, are limited in their ability to do these things.

Yesterday some /lit/fags made me think about what it means to be a "good" or "bad" person. I came to the conclusion that I don't know anything other than the abstract.

When a normie tries to do something to obtain pleasure, I don't typically see them as evil for it; they are simply doing their best to survive and be be happy in the world. Of course, many of the things they do in the pursuit of happiness are evil. In fact, desire is evil. Let me elaborate: Noone deserves anything. Noone deserves food, or water, or shelter, and certainly not things like love and self-actualization. To desire these things is to assume one deserves it(evil) or to want that which one does not deserve(evil). Even the desire for pain, punishment, or death is evil. Punishment is undeserved atonement, and death is undeserved release.

Normies are saved simply because they don't "know" and they can't "know." When I see a normie (in real life) I can't help but feel a strange love for them. They don't understand their actions and desires, they just live and do their best. I love seeing them. Nothing is more brutal and senseless than the suffering normie, especially when their suffering was caused by their own actions.

For those that "know", the only way to avoid doing evil is to stop desiring anything that benefits the self. Every action should be taken simply because it is duty, obligation, or because it brings about the greatest good. It seems egotistical to say something like "I know" but "all the normies don't", but it really isn't. I'm not smarter, stronger, or better, and I'm certainly not "more good."

The normie is usually taken to be superior to the retard, autist, and schizo in normie metaphysics. However in actual metaphysics the normie can be considered engrossed in Kants empirical intuition, which is why she is adapted to the physical world. She is actually the lowest stage of human evolution. The next stage is the schizo, who is becoming engrossed in imaginal intuition and thus becomes lost in his confusion of the imaginal and the sensible. Next comes the autist who has been born with intellectual intuition and is higher or lower functioning in the sensible or physical world depending on how developed his intellectual intuitionis, with high functioning autists having a lesser developed intellectual intuition and low functiong autists having a more developed intellectual intuition culminating in the absolute retard who is so engrossed in intellectual intuition he has lost touch with physical reality. Thus as you see in the hierarchy of human being the absolute retard has the highest being and is closest to God while the normie has the lowest being and furthest from God. The normie is also known by the term of midwit.

I would like to add that autist, schizo and retard are normie terms developed by normies to understand nonnormies from within the normie metaphysic and therefore carry with them the negative connotations normies associate with these nonnormies. In actuality however these connotations are contingent overtones of the normie metaphysic which is a faulty metaphysic grounded on the lower empirical intuition as opposed to the higher intllectual intuition, giving direct knowledge of reality. But we must communicate to the normie on his terms if we are ever to communicate with him at all.

I woke up on Saturday at 2pm as a result feeling absolutely awful and incapable of getting anything done.

I don't think it's a biological thing so much as a technological/cultural thing. A nerd from the 50s throughout the 90s and early 2000s could find a woman. It may be somewhat difficult at times but I have seen socially awkward and nerdy dudes have wives and kids for awhile now and if you followed a basic script since nerdy dudes tend to have STEM jobs which bring in a lot of money, which women like. So long as you didn't show any signs of genuinely mentally ill or such a contrarian you can't follow basic social ettiquette or any other maladaptive social behavior.

The thing is social media has changed people's perception of what a good boyfriend/husband is so all women basically have a warped idea of what men are like. Long story short, they think social media profiles are real and have unrealistic ideas of their ideal man. The same has happened to dudes but dudes know how to settle, a good deal of women really don't.

I never have hard liquor in the house which helps a bit. But if there is alcohol to drink I will drink it. If I dont have enough to drink until passing out when I start, I have this horrible haunting angst. I dony have a problem drinking during the week. I wait until the weekend.

Yeah, rhose are all cultural things though. People have this weird fixation on making it seem like all women are biologically determined to be repulsed by a dude somewhat out of the mainstream. Really, a lot of it is lookong for women in the wrong place. I used to wonder why I was single but then realized that the company I kept at church wasn't on the same wavelength as me mentally and socially. I stopped hanging out around them, stopped bothering with church girls and took the time to find out what I wanted in a woman and started hanging around groups like that. Now I have a gf of 1 year now due to hanging out with the right group of people that have the same mindset as me. Long story short, there are many fish in the sea, but the type of lure you are using, the type of fish you are looking for amd how much of them you can expect in that area is just as important of a consideration when fishing.

I recently wrote a sort of self confession in the form of a self-clarifying essay on my feelings towards this rather striking girl I know. The thing is, I find her to be rather odd, but in an endearing way. She keeps vermin as pets (i.e rats, and ferrets) and has a frenetic inability to express herself properly. She is very childish in many ways, but comes off charismatic rather than cringe to me. I see myself as basically monstrous and insensitive at my core, but I relate quite heavily to her in the sense that I feel there is something wild within her - just as there is in me. I am much more malevolent, in the sense that I am driven by destructive and cruel impulses. If she is a rabbit, I am a snake. She has a paganic innocence and distinct naturalness which is very maddening. I find the particular eccentricity of her tending to vermin to be especially indicative of the very same paganic innocence which I refer to. This is not a facile dramatization borne out of romantic idealism. However, many women and men I like call her demanding, desperate, annoying, and crazy. I, monster that I am, parrot these things back. I do this to protect myself, so that I might blend in with the greater society. But I do not really believe them. I do not care about good or evil, or being truthful, or even hurting others, but I do care about beautiful things. If I have any sort of Raisson D'être of my own, I would think that it might be interpreted as such: the protection and creation of beauty - to find roses in a world which is otherwise filled with thorns. Ergo, I arrive at what is causing me distress. How do I reconcile this obvious betrayal and neglect of someone who is not only more like me than any woman I have had the pleasure of meeting, but also the exact type of beauty which I profess to want to protect and bolster? I think the only option is to confess myself to her immediately, and possibly enter into a relationship. I would be lying if I said I did not desire her, sexually or otherwise. But I ultimately am not so concerned about possessing her. Most of all I want to clarify things about her situation to her which she may not realize (such as the viscious stupidity and lameness of most people in dealing with people like us). This seems to me, to be the ultimate act of liberation, whereby I consummate myself as someone fundamentally against the egotism and repressive system which I have grown to despise. Through doing this, I feel that I will have achieved a taste of what I want out of this life.

Even in modern art there's a gradient of quality. There are aspects difficult to pin down, purely subjective preference, but there are also things that can be quantified. The amount of information being expressed symbolically, the concepts being depicted, or things like this -- i'm going off the top of my head. But just like, as it turns out, the human perception of a beautiful woman has deep evolutionary roots, I think there is also something deeper in good art vs bad art that we just haven't pinned down yet.

No because art doesn't just mean technical skill anon. It's not a competition like sports where the most technically skilled wins. Art is about expressing ideas and emotions in an abstract form. You can totally enjoy more technically difficult art if that's your thing, but it doesn't make it better just because it required more effort to do. It's like music, sure neoclassical metal is insanely hard to play, but it isn't any better at communicating an idea than 4 bar blues. The other thing is visual art is just one medium and aesthetics are just one dimension of art expression. Something can "look" cooler than something else but still not give you a sense of connection of feeling inside of yourself that make you consider it good art.

Can relate to this fairly well. I'm an incurably passive and reclusive person and only managed to really meet people through a club in college by forcing myself to just show up. Even then I wouldn't even have the wider circle of friends there that I do now without a few of them (specifically one dude and his girlfriend then wife) always having a place for me if I needed it no questions asked, even if they were the only ones I largely interacted with among our wider friend group. I always felt so undeserving of such treatment and was infinitely thankful for it even if I were being my usual reclusive self.

Last year the dude's wife died unexpectedly in a house fire just before the end of the year and needless to say we were devastated. At the memorial all I could do is say to a crowd of our mutual friends what I probably should have said directly to her. I think about it a lot now and the unspoken magnitude of my appreciation having never manifested. So I guess my advice would be to just say anything to at least let them know you sincerely appreciate the companionship. It doesn't have to be grand or soppy just something meaningfully spoken. If the level of kinship you feel is as genuine as you say then even just sincerely spoken words would be enough for what you have to give back now. And about the personal issues you don't have to dump it on them I would imagine they would be more than willing to listen and help taking things piecemeal. It's all part of the process.

Because there is space for interpretation. It's like giving your imagination a writing prompt and feeling it work away. I can see all sorts of figures in the pollock painting that look like something familar yet completely vague at the same time. That is interesting to me. Also I enjoy graphic design so even on an aesthetic level I enjoy how kinetic it looks. The ghost face one on the right is also pretty cool but it just misses the mark as far as me personally engaging with it for a long time. Like I look at it and don't feel anything in particular other than "Hey, that's neat".

In this comparison I prefer the beksinski one more because I feel like the surrealism is better accomplished. Again it just captures my imagination more than the pollock on the left, it makes me feel more things even if I'm not totally sure what they are. I honestly think art tickles things in your subconscious mind that you're not even aware of half the time.

As for why the capacity for joy is beyond analysis, I mean that it can't be reproduced by any intentional means.

A very long way to go. Ever heard anything as good as the Wheaton College Chorus in an acoustic suited to it? I've heard a lot, but no equipment setup I've ever heard comes close when it comes to airy magic--compelling as EDM in a proper club is.

Women have onlyfans and dress however they want, so you get to be a whore too. If women want to act like that then men no longer have to be faithful. Embrace it; you're living in an age of hedonism.

I sometimes wonder what one could make of AI technique using film samples combined with closed captions thereof, to form coherent sentences from disparate sources. If nothing else, it would make a most gnarly case in intellectual property law.

Life is evidently getting you down and you’re obviously quite incapable of taking anything head on if you’re getting ‘wasted’ and then ‘wailing’.

Here’s an enormous red-pill: You must always have the woman chasing you. You can never let her, even a wife, actually catch you. This is just psychology.

So no, flirting isn’t bad. Keep your tools sharp. Remain loyal, but you don’t get to rest until you are dead. Remember this.

I’ve always felt like a dilettante for liking Camus as much as I do, but the more of his works that I read, the more it really resonates with me. I also realized that I shouldn’t give two shits about what strangers think of my literary tastes, which is probably the greatest epiphany any /lit/-poster could have.

>Don't base your life on desiring someone else. It will only cause you pain.
I'm fine with pain. But I don't base my life on desiring someone else. When I say I pursue beauty, you must understand that I am talking about an inclination towards appreciating and revealing aesthetic truth more generally. It is not just this woman, but could just as easily describe the effort I put into making my dinner for myself look appetizing and aesthetically pleasant. She is an instantiation of this pursuit of beauty. Moreover, I am not so emotionally attached. In reference to the other reply to your post - whoever that may be - I might be said to have an ironic detachment. It does not cause me to feel guilt, but it frustrates me in the sense that it makes me feel powerless. And moreover, can you really achieve such a life where you do not desire? I don't think so, and I contest such proclamations with the deliciously simple and profound saying: "If you are going to eat poison, you might as well finish the plate." Rather than escape from our desires and subordinate them to some sort of conservative libidinal economy, I feel that I should rather lean into them and become something less than civilized. Indeed it is because I think like this that I attribute to myself another kind of animality.

You are a fool if you think I'm any different from them. That it is possible for someone to be outside that which he himself participates in.
