Abstract objects have often garnered the interest of philosophers because they raise problems for popular theories. In ontology, abstract objects are considered problematic for physicalism and some forms of naturalism. Historically, the most important ontological dispute about abstract objects has been the problem of universals. In epistemology, abstract objects are considered problematic for empiricism. If abstracta lack causal powers and spatial location, how do we know about them? It is hard to say how they can affect our sensory experiences, and yet we seem to agree on a wide range of claims about them.

Some, such as Ernst Mally, Edward Zalta and arguably, Plato in his Theory of Forms, have held that abstract objects constitute the defining subject matter of metaphysics or philosophical inquiry more broadly. To the extent that philosophy is independent of empirical research, and to the extent that empirical questions do not inform questions about abstracta, philosophy would seem especially suited to answering these latter questions.

In modern philosophy, the distinction between abstract and concrete was explored by Immanuel Kant and G. W. F. Hegel.

Gottlob Frege said that abstract objects, such as numbers, were members of a third realm, different from the external world or from internal consciousness.

Thinking about it for a while, I've realized that there's nothing wrong with me not dating or otherwise being romantically involved with a woman at the age of 26 (27 in April this year). Fundamentally, the last woman I've met that I found not only physically attractive but otherwise had the same Catholic values I have and is intelligent, kind, understanding and complementary to me as a person sas in middle school when I was in 7th grade and her 6th. I get you are never going to find the perfect woman, but most woman don't even register on my radar other than having some combination of a nice face/pair of tits/ass/form or some combination thereof. I honestly fon't know why people put so much worth on having a woman in your life: unless she's compatible with you, makes you a better person through a passionate romantic friendship that allows the both of you to live a life together and become good parents and people to a litter of new human beings there's no point in pursuing a relationship with most most women nowadays. Even church girls are boring as shit. Frankly, I blame social media for this gay turn of events.

>>21527578
>Unironically using incel
Ngmi. Anyways, women nowadays are boring. Even in the early to late 2000s and early 2010s, I've heard a lot of stories from an old friend about a cool chick he used to hang out with and go on dates with at fucking arcades FGC tournamenta and other male-dominated spaces and he never said anything bad about her. They had to break up due to her moving out of town but you could see how much he cared for her even all these years later. I don't think I even remember most women past their looks. I don't know. Women are just rather dull nowadays. I don't blame any man for not wanting to bother with them other than for basic sexual relief (although genuinely hating women is gateway to being gay if not a flatout sign). I frankly don't get why so many men put pussy on a pedestal. There are very few women I would call worthwhile in terms of actually starting a relationship with.

It's not socializing. I don't feel emotions. I can't have fun. I can't feel pleasure or pain. The last time I felt a strong emotion was December of 2017, I was about to take my Economics final but told the teacher I was sick. In the nurse's office I listened to the album "Beyond The Fleeting Gales" and it moved me.

Since then I've just been... dead. I try to make friends. I try drugs. I try psychiatry & therapy. Nothing nothing nothing happens. You have probably stopped reading by this point.

You have the right idea.
Music is useless information that your brain is sort of forced to try and record it as memory (because its not random noise and anything that has somewhat consistent beat or a rhythm is stored as memory in the brain) and as an author or really anyone who is not in profession related to or in music industry, such information is irrelevant and is infact detrimental to your thought process. Its fine for people who are midwits who are wagies or work in trades, there isn't much higher level thinking happening in their heads but as an author who thinks a lot you do not need a stream of information getting into your head and getting recorded as memories. Past the age of early twenties most brains stop absorbing pretty much all information you throw at it, so you have to be selective about what you want to remember (information, knowledge that is relevant to you or what you do) because at this stage information absorbtion and retention starts becoming limited and progressively harder the more you absorb(learn). Hearing a catchy song that is otherwise shit and you can still remember years later because it just got stuck in yout mind is the biggest waste of mental energy and thought resources ever.

I started writing human on furry smut a month ago and I'm already sick of it. Just like smut art all looks the same, smut writing all reads the same also. The words you end up using are the same, the things you say are more or less all the same. Even if you want to put some sort of character or emotionality in it, it's all drowned in the conventions of smut. If you try to do something creative it just becomes tired, stinking post-modern commentary. There isn't that much depth to achieve when you're talking about a dick into a hole.

Adaptive morality: Individuals tend to become bad when they are raised in bad circumstances, or good in good circumstances, and their circumstances serve to punish them and negate the evil they do over the course of their life. Whether they were good or bad before their circumstances does not matter, because their evilness/goodness will grow to match their circumstance. This is predicated on the idea that it is good to help a good person or hurt a bad person, and bad to hurt a good person or help a bad.
A black born in africa is dealt an absolutely shit hand in life, and will tend to develop into an even more shitty human being. The horrors he will experience during his lifetime are the punishments that are sufficient to make up for his evils. The issue of him being born not necessarily evil is (thus the possibility that there is an imbalance in evil) is resolved in this way: The evil an evil person tends to commit is so much greater than the suffering they will experience that any good they had as an infant or child is nullified by adulthood.
Thus there is no net good or evil.

What is there to engage with? If you say sex and not love you're a hollow shell of a man. It's obvious to anyone with a brain that sex is not some kind of life-changing achievement. You probably pined for sex while hating women at the same time, is that right? The reason why you feel unfulfilled is that you're a shallow person.

Incels tend not to be well developed and aren't conscious of what they want. The incel typically says sex when they really mean "high level of intimacy" (and love).
It's an old story that incels pine for sex eternally, have it, and then decide it wasn't worth it. They just think sex is the highest level of intimacy achievable.

Love, the kind you are talking about, is an epiphenomenon of sex, you retarded romantic. You talk of shallowness, yet get angry about something that only exists in your head.

Sex exactly is life changing, by the way but it is time-locked. Or it could be more accurate to say that not-having is lifechanging.
The transformation can't happen if you miss the window and the importance of it can only really be grasped through its absence as this is to fall off the edge of normalcy and thus become aware that there was an edge to fall off of at all.

All who study philosophy ought to train the body in addition to their studies. The body is the one point in the Intelligible where the material and the intellect are joined in union - it is an image of the hypostasis of creator and created implied by an absolutely transcendent and absolutely immanent God, as well as a unique creature in its own right, coupling the Intellect-Principle or nous with matter and thus a creature radically able to access and understand both spheres. To misuse it or to go one's life without enabling it to reach its potential is to squander the opportunity one has to reach the peaks of both spirit and matter, to see the indeterminate Dyad from both ends, to comprehend the One through the all-pervading tension of opposites.

>Pornsluts, instathots, onlywhores are not inductive of the looks of any given place or nationality. It is a transethnic smear of algorithmically homogenized traits that can be acquired at the local plastic surgeon to drive up engagement with their content.

It's quite essential that you put that into words, your sentence establishes key concepts.

>not inductive of... any given place or nationality, transethnic smear of algorithmically homogenized traits= obscuring and making physical geography and individualism and identity irrelevant.
>geography=spaciality, reality
>individual identity= susceptible of identification

>algorithmically, engagement with content= worlwide web, the non-physical cyberspace

In contemporary arts and culture the discussion of identity-transformation and more loose terms of identification has quickly become a norm within the last decade. Many people even on this board are fixated on narratives by sensationalist authors, that the world was suddenly poisoned or brainwashed by different parties (Marxists, globalists, free masons, neoliberals) to wake into a hypnagogia of obscuring of genders and their physical definitions.
The act of worldwide communication through the internet in itself is engaging in androgyny and individualistic obscurity. The more anonymous the discourse you're a part of, the more neutered and shaved you are of your individualism. Not necessarily by intellect, but by form and presentation, that which many people swear to heaven is a key factor in defining one's identity.
In the internet you are lines of letters in sequence, contained in a screen. You engage in dialogues with people geographically elsewhere, but in the same cyberspace. They are not with you in the cyberspace, they are a part of you. You lose your tangible form, I can not touch, smell or taste you. You ascend binary definitions.

Important trial and error I went through within the last half a year was about available sex from a "situationship/emotionally unavailable friends with benefits"
Now that I pulled the plug on our friendship, I wish I prized my own physicality and sexuality in a more devout way, instead of caving in due to being desperate and curious for exploration, but I'm not serious or vexed about it
I am glad that I have more perspective, insight and experience in this field of social reality.
I wish I never shared my body and sexuality with her, but I do not share certain "trad" sentiments that I lost some value by doing that. There is just this mental feeling of "getting got" that would be undone if our sex never happened. But again, I am not filled with resentment that it did happen.

God damn I'm glad I went through it and it's over now. Enjoying loneliness is much more natural now. I feel that I know myself and what I need in intimate connections now. I know first hand about those things that had been stuck on a morbid loop as a curious fantasy in my mind since my teenage.
"Is my penis big and aesthetic enough?"
"Is my fingering good? Is my fucking good? Is my oral sex good?"
"Can I make a woman wet?"
"Am I attractive or endearing to an attractive slim adult female?"
My quota of intimacy and sexual exploration has been filled and I am purified of needs for them for the time being. All that authority and intimidatingness of "tall, slim hot 20year old chicks" that I had since my teens has been removed as I got to explore it first-hand and how they pathetically whimper and moan and lust for sex, equally as much as a sex-hungry physically disgusting anon.

My life is dictated by trial and error, "songs of innocence and experience". It's the most pure manifestation of being to me. My loneliness becomes more and more dear and consolidating to me, the more I grate myself through different paths of social exploration. I've also found myself to feel a deeper affection, forgiveness and connection to my family the more I've dated and spent time socializing with people my age. Under the roof of my family I am always welcome, saved from performance anxiety, guilt and codes of socially acceptable thought.

>But I think there is something different between the neutered identity of a persona in cyberspace and that of the transformation of identity in real space.
Cyberspace and real space exist in an expressive and intellectual symbiosis. Our thoughts are documented and expressed here and they can be attributed to the experiences of our physical persona.

I can't deny the fact that we all own our own physique in the real space. I meant to attribute androgyny to a more intellectual and perceptual awareness of the surrounding reality and thus the limits of discourse in specific fields.
It is hard for me to see someone advocating for binary rounded definitions for identity in an anonymous platform such as 4chan as credible. What sort of credit or relevance does physique hold in cyberspace?

I want to approach this old female friend from high school and early university days online because I'm curious about her life, as she managed to continue her studies in a fairly prestigious place reputed for hosting brilliant minds and she got to travel around for a while. On the surface, it seems to be a different world than the one I've inhabited for so long, one that is inaccessible to me, and there are always some surprises to be found. I remember always having a great time whenever we used to talk back in the day, we had a cool rapport with each other, but now that she's seen so much and interacted with so many other people I don't know how i would come across to her these days.
I reckon I wouldn't have as many reservations on asking about someone's life if they were a total stranger, which I've done multiple times before and to great, often heartwarming results because people generally enjoy talking about themselves and being shown genuine interest in having a conversation; but with old acquaintances, especially female ones, it gets very tricky. Number one, there's the risk of being perceived as "hitting on her" and attempting to get all snuggly when it's not the point of interest here. Number two, the probable gossiping around if they're still friends with people that do/have known you (so and so hit me up yesterday, isn't that strange) with the bullshit that it typically entails. And number three, the eventual switch in topic from her life to yours (so what have you been up to), which wouldn't be a problem if you had something potentially interesting going in your life, but unfortunately it's mostly been a flatline for the past few years, which gets doubly disappointing considering the explicitly stated prospects that people had for you back then.
Or maybe this is just neurotic b.s. Overthinking what should otherwise be a genuine exchange.

I have never done nofap but I have a few arguments: one, you do not get that weird shame/disgust feeling you usually have with porn if you just jerk off to your thoughts, assuming you're not completely fried in the brain and your inner sexualscape hasn't been entirely replaced with /d/ tier cancer. I do not know about that. I assume that by that point you have become unable to feel shame, so the brain damage may be irreversible.
I generally think about having sex with supernatural or mythological creatures, so it's pretty vanilla. Second, scientifically speaking (I know, LE SCIENCE!) masturbation per se does absolutely nothing unhealthy. I am not sure how they conducted the studies that proved this, not sure if they just locked a guy in a room and told him to jerk off as much as possible, but AFAIK if you just close your eyes and beat your meat there's no unhealthy brain shit going on. That only happens when you use porn to masturbate, because porn cheats your dopamine receptors and all that shit. This is also how porn gives you ED apparently, you basically cannot get off if you're not watching other people fuck like a sad little cúck.
Third, this makes no sense from a design standpoint. It's impossible that the naked human body would be capable of doing shit that gets it addicted to itself. It makes absolutely no fucking sense. Tell me in what other way you can use your body upon itself to give yourself a weird addiction. It isn't even comparable to food because food is, at least, a foreign object that you introduce within your body; but your favorite hand? A creature who threatens itself into becoming a nonfunctional zombie by just accidentally touching its penis with its own appendages is completely broken design. Nature (or God) would never do something this retarded, so I can only conclude that touching yourself at night while thinking about sex is perfectly OK as long as you disassociate this action with foreign material that arouses you. That's not just porn but also your favorite statue in a museum, maybe you're just stroking yourself under your pants while you look at her tits. That's not good. But if you look at her and you walk home, and then in your room you close your eyes and whack it while thinking about her tits, it's all healthy. You can probably calculate the ratio of time to porn-induced brain damage in some way. Maybe after 10 minutes it's 5% less, after 30 minutes it's 20% less, etc. It's probably OK to do it the next morning.

It's treated worse in the west so patients have more psychotic breaks and shorter life spans. It also gets you labelled a schizophrenic. In non western cultures, you might have just had a vision once or been possessed temporarily, which are both seen as being caused by outside spiritual forces from god to witchcraft, which are seen as things which could happen to anyone and unlikely to reoccur and not a disease like diabetes where if you have it, it can only be managed and never reversed. It's an infamous meme in psychiatry that schizophrenia in the west is a chronic health condition and in the third world, where it's treated by magic rituals, it's a temporary thing which often gets cured after the first episode. Big pharma isn't helping, but your doctor thinking it's best treated by medicine is a sign your doctor hasn't read the literature or had a response to it that packed basic common sense. Every couple of decades there's calls to get the western psychiatric community to stop treating it entirely because they demonstrably make patient outcomes worse, but that would involve admitting they don't know what they're doing and have harmed a significant portion of their patients, so... yeah.

What a vague question. All music affects brain in certain way. Any and all information coming throught any of the senses affect the brain.

>>21529620
As I said unless you are in music industry where, creating, remembering and analyzing various music is beneficial to you, listening to music is filling your brain with useless information. You may have higher or lower limitations but you are still a human and your mind and your brain generally works the same way as those of other humans. As a thinking person, you should carefully consider your sources of information. Information that has no benefit to you should be avoided or immediatly discarded from shorg term memory, music is dangerous in that way because unlike any information, you cannot forget it once you listen to it, and popular and famous songs are normally those which are most easily memorized and in turn get most exposure.
Another way of thinking about it is mental energy expenditure. Any kind of mental activity requires mental energy (this isn't some kind of metaphysical energy, but energy you gain from food as calories), learning, thinking, etc. When you are studying, you want all that capacity to be used for that task, if you listen to music at the same time then you are dividing your mental capacity into learning and processing and memorising the the tune/song that you are listening? This is just a waste of time and energy, the inherent issue with music is that for whatever reason the brain may recall it almost randomly (a catchy tune) and then you literally stuck performing a mental task that has absolutely no value, it is just a wasteful expenditure of mental energy and time. Worse is that brain like any other human organ will tire and lose efficiency with prolonged work, just by listening or recalling music you are not just wasting mental energy but also tiring out the brain which will lower your useful capacity to selectively learn new information even more. Ok, one may listen to music once a month, that is still a waste but no big deal but some people have their airpods/earphones/headphones in/on their ears almost 24/7.

I feel the same way sometimes and I am not sure why. It's like an addiction or some mental virus or disease that takes a hold of my mind.
Consider this, some people listen to music to relax, but the very act of listening to music is constant mental work, the relaxing environment is a quiet room with no background noises (when you sleep, do you want to sleep in quiet room or do you want background noises). So a person studies for three hours then he "relaxes" for couple of hours in other words he does two more hours of useless work.

I think your idea is right but it's outdated. I believe there's no human soul left to touch, so art can only be something perverted. People don't believe in anything any longer, they're irremediably rotten and cynical, they look upon morality and integrity as the marks of an idiot instead of something that makes someone a better man. It's true that people have always been corrupt but this is the first time in human history where the absence of what is established as morality and integrity is seen as praiseworthy. It has never happened before. Usually society develops a framework for morality and then elects people who are moral as good people. The fact that people were immoral anyway didn't change, but at least they were not actively worshiped. Our society worships all the negative properties a human being can have. Narcissism, cynicism, ruthlessness, promiscuity, shallowness, deceitfulness, impulsiveness. These are all things that pretty much all of humanity had looked down upon, from tribes in the jungle to the great civilizations.

I posted this before but random noise we filter it out to high degree, but music is special, it has a consistent rhythm, a beat, the instruments sound pleasant, once the brain encounters it does not filter it out, it almost automatically processes it and memorizes it to some degree and the person has no control over it, ever heard of a catchy song that you actually hated and how it got stuck playing in your mind

I have gotten to 27 without any female interaction, because i believe in what you two posted however the loneliness and desire for finding a person to whom i can poor out all of my love has not gone away. And in perticular the last two years have been really hard, i don't think i'am strong enough or have the mentality it takes to actually be with women, i hate being used but i also dislike using others, i find it debasing both ways. If i decide to open myself up to someone and then that person betrayes my trust i don't think i can ever live it down, and if it's someone awful, like anon mentioned cheating, i really do believe i would just kill myself out of pain. I really don't know what to do, i feel like my options are be miserable alone or be miserable with someone else. Reading the Sea of fertility tetralogy has only inflamed my desire recently. I'am doomed to suffer.

When there's the chance, always take up the risk to be with someone else if that is what your feelings of necessity and instinct require. You can always return to loneliness.

When life in company proves to be taxing, you can always return to loneliness and that loneliness will gain new value and be much more accomodating.

the song enters my ears
i get up
open my window
it's windy, and the wind is cold
i look at the moon
so pretty
i'm feeling good
little by little. i see the stars. such a beautiful night.
suddenly my eyes just start watering
but i don't cry. and i keep looking at the street lights. so many. so many people.
what if i was a different person?
should i be a different person?...
i close the window and it's not cold anymore.

I used to be very positive about things and I had a lot of female company until ~23. I was unlucky, probably, but I am slightly older than you and in a similar position right now. The thing is, you can definitely choose not to die alone. If you have a job, there are many single moms and other women who were on the cock carousel in their 20s who are now looking for someone to "settle" with. They will always be available. If you're not a complete stinker they'll be desperate to please you. I have never seen more submissive, eager to please women than women pushing 30 and single moms lol.
I have given this a hard thought, would I take a woman like this for the sake of not being alone? I doubt I would. I did not enjoy dating promiscuous women before, why would I marry one now? I look down on men who settle with women like this, why would I become one? It's hard to find a purpose in life outside of the love and family shit, but these are the times we live in and there are definitely more possibilities.
And there's one really important thing: maybe there really is a woman that really deserves to be loved for you out there, but would you be able to give her what she deserves if you're the one who's dependent in the first place? If you are so desperate, how could you be the man in the relationship? You need to build a character for yourself and achieve some form of stability. Your problem with women goes deeper than just women. You have to find a way to be satisfied with yourself, and I know for certain that once you get that boost doors magically open for you, including women. In fact the more I lost confidence in myself and women and the world and life, the worse and worse my dates would get. I think life gives you back as much energy as you put into it. Give none to it, and you get nothing back. You can also make mistakes and be unlucky and waste a lot of energy into a black hole. It happened to me. You gotta find your fulfillment within yourself. After that point, think about women. If you want to find your fulfillment in a woman in your current state you'll probably get an opportunistic snake or an emotional vampire, because that's the kind of energy feedback you'd get from your current state of mind.

Dude, this can take a lifetime. There are people who die without knowing who they are and what they did because they never understood that fact.
I say this as a depressed doomer. I've tackled this shit from all angles, read books, went to people, went to church, I tried everything. Things actually became worse and worse, this is one of the worst periods of my life. But the other day I bought clothes I liked for once because why the fuck not, and I got a haircut. I'd been letting myself go for a long time because I resigned to the idea that my life was over. I looked in the mirror and as petty as it sounds, I thought, you know what, I don't wanna kill myself, I'm not old yet, I'm not completely broken down yet. It only takes a little push from somewhere, even something stupid like dressing slightly better. Now there's a big chance that I'll be back moping into the ground in a few days, but there's always that chance to break from the water and catch some breath.

As trite as it sounds, I think it comes down to "How badly do you want it?"
Humans if given the means will create 10000 escapes from a problem rather than confront it head on. I'm not sure I agree with Nietzsche that this is the goal of philosophy, but in day to day life it's true.

In fact, I don't just use coping mechanisms - I trade one cope for another to keep things fresh, -that- one was phony but -this- will be the way out. None of it is logical. No, if we had full power over our will, all of this shit would become mundane and unnecessary to us. It's because we're so pathetically weak that we cling to ideas hoping they will rescue us. Even a spoonful of willpower is 100x better than an idea.
