Why is it so hard for me to not think in terms of black and white?

I always think that whatever I'm doing must be pushed to the extreme and by doing that I've to let it go of the other possibilities.

If i start reading, I have to dedicate my life to it - fuck gym, social life, etc. Now my whole personality is all about it. I keep doing that until eventually I get tired of it and have an existencial crisis until I find my next thing.

Sounds like I've Borderline.

Where do priests do all that molesting? I was raised Roman Catholic and was never alone with a priest except in a confessional with a wall between us. My brother was an altar boy and he was never alone with a priest for more than 5 minutes before and after mass.
There's so many reports of priests diddling but where and when do they do it? Do parents just drop kids off at a church and say Have Fun? I wouldn't leave my kids in a situation where they are alone with strangers.

I watch people show excitement about their interests, speak at length on what they enjoy, and show an active imagination that they aren't afraid to express, while I feel as if that all was removed from me by a combination of ridicule in my youth and an autistic inability to feel comfortable in conversation, especially when it comes to sharing anything more than surface level.

For a long time I had basically shut down my imagination because I felt uncomfortable expressing myself around others and that bled in to my private life. It's getting better now that I've recognized what had been going on. I think more about the books and shows I watch, write and elaborate on what I'm thinking, try to come up with more little stories and fantasies. I'm still worried about discomfort with others but I want to meet people and I'm not sure if I should start making attempts when I'm still incredibly shy. I can't even bring myself to converse behind a computer, especially over voice chat.

It depends what you're in the mood for. As I Lay Dying is of greater literary value, but is a more challenging read. Kafka By the Shore is more "popcorn" literature. It's not necessarily brainless and it has some depth to it and glimmers of philosophy and Murakami's signature thoughtfulness. It's just written in a more conventional and straightforward style without all of the linguistic experimentalism , perspective shifting, stream of consciousness, unreliable narration, etc, of Faulkner's novel.
You will probably find Kafka by the Shore more enjoyable. As I Lay Dying is more like homework to be studied.

See if it makes sense: A man, upon encountering an ant, one of those that bite, decides immediately to kill it, even though he possesses enough intelligence and reasoning to prevent this tiny creature from even harming him. Even so, he decides to opt for the most annihilating solution, because he hardly knows how to tame his own strength, and still sees other beings in nature, as alive and endowed with the same essence as him, as insignificant things.

But I soon regretted stepping on that ant, and how I regretted it! I'm not kidding. Was it fitting for me to step on her with such indifference? At first, the idea that killing her was better than being bitten made so much sense to me, even though I could easily avoid this situation, and she wouldn't hurt me by chance. In the end, she didn't die immediately, and I had to step on her more times so that she wouldn't suffer anymore, so she could die without going through agony.

Poor creature.

Good choice. I really like that book. Everything he writes is flawed, but it seems intentional, a deliberate asymmetry.
As he put it himself,
>“A certain type of perfection can only be realized through a limitless accumulation of the imperfect.”
That serves as a good review of Murakami's work

A bunch of random shit will happen and a few cliches and pop culture references will be thrown in as if to balance the more intellectual parts and prevent the story from becoming lopsidedly pretentious. Then every now and then he will capture in words, often with plain language elegant in its simplicity, something that I've always felt and known about life, but was never myself able to put into words. A transcendent sensation of serene clarity will wash over me. I will suddenly be in touch with an ineffable feeling somewhere between nostalgia and peace and reconnect with myself. A self that had for so long been like an alienated, distant stranger. That to me is what literature is all about.

A dwarf with a gross appearance; thin arms; a torso hardened by fat, so that he has a voluminous belly, even in the face of the thinness of all his other limbs; with a disproportionately large head that serves as a base for a tangle of knots and brings with it something that is not uniform, forming a hard and disgustingly thick hair; with round eyes like those of a fly and that are slightly inclined downwards, bringing an aspect of weakness and a look that expresses nothing but immeasurable emptiness, therefore never being able to emit any kind of heroism and magnitude. This vile creature decides to take the stage and try to take over the world.

Does he not have the ability to perceive that his repugnant appearance merely reflects what is inside him? That he is not capable of conquering anything, not even emitting anything good for himself and others, precisely because his entire existence is based on a lamentable accident, both existential and genetic? And that it is useless for him to fight against what is determined, for the most he can achieve is to hit a gigantic wall called luck.

In this case, luck or the lack of it, condemned him to a life of lamentations, pain, on immensely elevated scales, and although he realizes this; even in many moments he suddenly becomes enlightened, he still tries to cling to his ego, and assert himself with all vehemence, as if in this act he challenges himself and also challenges the world; putting everything to the test. This brings a kind of comfort to him, but fleeting, very fleeting.

He is what I would call an anti-hero. A tragic figure, who should not be but is, and therefore, is everything that a hero is not, but nevertheless, still exists.

There's a woman I've never met or talked to that I care deeply about. She's an artist. I love her work. There are only a few pictures of her actual person online.

She's all that's left for me to look forward to, and now that everything has gone to shit I'm projecting my worries on her. She'll be probably fine regardless of the red flags. I think she's probably better off than me economically. But I'm afraid that the current state of things will swallow her art and she'll be lost and if that happens there's nothing I can do. I have never seen another artist who managed to extend herself into her work to such a point that I'd care about the person behind it. Though I recognize that it's all in my head and I'm just creating a weird fantasy to escape into my own reality. Maybe I'd hate her IRL. Maybe she's massively mentally ill. I don't know.

Be me, a philosophy and soccer enthusiast
Decided to go to a bar to watch the Champions League final between Barcelona and Juventus
Sitting next to me is an old man who looks like Schopenhauer
We start talking about the game and he mentions that he’s not really interested in soccer
He instead tells me about his philosophy and how it influenced the works of Dostoyevsky
Suddenly, Messi scores an amazing goal
I jump up and scream, “GOAL!”
Schopenhauer looks at me and says, “You seem to be really enjoying this game.”
I reply, “Yeah, I love soccer! It’s the beautiful game!”
Schopenhauer looks at me with a serious expression and says, “But don’t you know that life is suffering and that all human desires are ultimately futile?”
Just then, Dostoyevsky walks in and orders a beer
Schopenhauer turns to him and says, “Ah, Fyodor, good to see you! I was just telling our friend here about the futility of human desire.”
Dostoyevsky takes a sip of his beer and says, “Yes, but even in the face of suffering, we must find meaning and purpose in life.”
Messi scores another goal and I jump up and scream, “Another one!”
Schopenhauer turns to me and says, “You see? This is exactly what I’m talking about.”
Dostoyevsky just shakes his head and takes another sip of his beer.
Messi scores a third goal and I can't contain my excitement, I yell "This is amazing!"
Schopenhauer looks at me and says, "You're hopeless."
Dostoyevsky pats me on the back and says, "You're doing just fine, my friend."

Less is always more as a man. When in doubt, say less. Don't neurotically try to control anything, don't "get into it" with her, don't be petty and resentful (and stoically but paternally disapprove when she is), be the stable mature one in all situations. Don't act the fag. And crucially, if and when she acts like she's thinking of leaving you or getting uppity, act indifferent to it. Even if she does end up leaving you, she'll think about you for the next ten years.

When you are living the final years of your life, and it makes little difference whether you live another few years or not, then to look at the world and see evil sowing pain and suffering everywhere, only for you to seek merely to buy yourself another few years of pointless hedonism, is that not the height of selfishness? Is not better for the dying man to die for someone else, rather than himself?
Most people that want to do something great for the world are held back by the fear that they will lose decades to prison or death, but the dying man has nothing to lose and little to fear. I have strongly held beliefs, and to die for them would be my final wish.

Not necessarily lol. They only diagnose you(or should anyway) if its seriously fucking your life up. Maybe you're just moody and indecisive but you can learn to deal with it, or mitigate it. Might not be the end of the world is what I'm saying

If you recognize that the mood swings are irrational then that alone can help lessen or ignore them. I'm not a therapist though so I can't really tell you much, you should go see one if you're genuinely distressed about this stuff

I don't have schizophrenia and I've never been diagnosed with it. My diagnosis was, at worst, schizotypal, but my therapist and most of the team disagreed even with that and they only listed it as "possible". They were only fairly confident that I had BPD. I don't really buy any of that though.

I'm pretty good at managing myself. I recognize that I have a lot of really weird and irrational emotional conditions, but because I understand they're irrational I dont let them influence my behavior. It just sucks because I find myself acting the way I think a normal person should be acting without the accompanying feeling of being normal as I act. Like, sometimes I'll be around people and be acting totally normal and getting along and being positive, but as soon as I leave I feel myself totally change. It's like I lose all the expression in my face. I'm a chameleon. I am whatever I need to be to get along with the company I'm in, and that takes different forms depending on who I'm with. When people I know frofrom different groups I'm part of meet each other i feel this terrible dread because I dont know which persona to take.
It takes effort to sit and think about what I'm feeling and why versus how I should be feeling. Whenever I feel like I'm getting too weird to manage I just disappear for a few weeks while I figure myself out.

>When people I know frofrom different groups I'm part of meet each other i feel this terrible dread because I dont know which persona to take.
I think a lot of people are like this until their early-mid 20s when they kind of crystallize into a personality. To a certain degree we all act differently towards different people, that's normal.

I am loathe to give advice to people because I dont really know shit but I'd say maybe just focus more on feeling alright and doing what you think you should rather than on "who you are". Unless you get really out of sorts it's probably not even useful to worry about this too much.

My coworker pines for intimacy; I do my best to relate, but all my recollections of previous relationships and their respective failures prohibit me from doing so.
"To be honest, some of the unhappiest times of my life were when I was in a relationship; people will act as if there are no expectations or any sort of pretense when they first meet, but we all know there are. We're all like that; we lie to each other and ourselves. At the very least I'm honest, though; I know I'd rather just be fucking."

Yeah, with absentee parents the youngest child gets brutalized. I was the youngest and my older brothers were really cruel. I couldnt do anything about it because they were always a pair and they were always bigger. I guess I got the last laugh because now I'm now taller, stronger, and more successful than both of them. They both also rely on me for money and support otherwise. God is cruel. He made them both totally powerless, but He didn't make that happen until I was forced to feel powerless by their hands. Must be a lesson in there.

I'm extremely stressed. Basically I made some friends on World of Warcraft back in early 2020 with some dude from Canada and became good friends with both him and a bunch of his real friends online, we play games together and have gotten pretty decently close, insofar as online friends can be anyway. They're all mostly normalfag mode and really want me to come up to see them in person which is a serious issue. I put on a normalfag bravado online and talk a lot of shit but the fact remains that in real life it takes serious drinks and drugs for me to even look a woman in the eyes, let alone conversate with her and get her into bed. One of them got a huge chunk of money from his old job and said in no uncertain terms that it's going to my plane ticket to come visit them this summer for a few weeks at their cottages.

I have no idea what the fuck to do because every lie to stall or dissuade the possibility of seeing them has ran its course. I cannot reasonably say no anymore. I can't just bail and cease communicating with them, one of them sent me a picture of his newborn son and called me minutes after he was born to tell me. I bullshitted a couple times to avoid talking about how shit my real life is like 2 years ago and now I have this full fake persona I've crafted meticulously to stay in line with said lies, and now I am going to have to face what will clearly be exposed as lies very soon.

my family can't understand why i distrust and go so far as to actively dislike them. sexual abuse. physical abuse. emotional abuse. couldn't ever bring friends over because of how they all behaved. i'm glad it worked out well for you. my health started to suffer badly in my late teens, so they used that as an excuse to hate me even more. i've been trying to build a life since, but it's been very hard. between economic downturns, career set backs (incl covid), i'm forced to live with them still... i don't like it whatsoever.

I would but the problem is that I've gone way too far with the lying about who I am. At one point I lied about my fucking hair color and they think I'm blonde and my hair is as black as night. I lie about things that literally nobody cares about and have no relevance to even the conversations I say them in, let alone to myself as a person. I genuinely have no excuse for why I have behaved in such a thoroughly autistic manner for years now but I basically am so far off of what I have convinced these guys I am that us meeting in person would be a thoroughly uncomfortable and bizarre experience for everyone involved, and would almost certainly ruin the dynamic we have.

Im probably a narcissist. I have BPD and I have severe identity issues. Ive had major depression since I was a child. when I was 13 I convinced myself my grandpa was going to rape me and Ive never gotten over the guilt of how I treated him before he died. I literally traumatized myself over something that was never going to happen. I manipulated my ex-girlfriend into dating me and I gaslighted her our entire relationship. I made her think she hated her best friends and I ruined what should have been her best years. I keep to myself so I dont hurt other people but its so difficult, everyone wants to be my friends because im attractive and knowledgeable and have that dry humor thats so well-liked for some reason. I will never talk to a professional about any of this, it feels wrong. They will try to convince me my brain doesnt work like it should. But if I listen to them, do therapy and take medication wont that change who ive been my entire life? Wont I no longer be me?

I'm reading Moby Dick at an ungodly slow pace. 180 pages in.

Many sentences catch me in their irregular/old structure, resulting in me completing a sentence, failing to understand it, then having to re-read (to notice that "oh, 'did' was being used in a difference sense", for example).
Also, plenty of words which I'm unfamiliar with. Especially relating to ships & sailing.

Should I just power through? Should I look-up every unfamiliar word I encounter? Do you have any tips or thoughts?

You're in the wrong demographic. Pecos seek out places where they'll have access to children, especially children who will fall through the cracks of a system. By not being a vulnerable child you won't get invited to things designed for vulnerable children, like counselling sessions, or after school clubs, or youth diversion programmes. It's not just the Catholic pedos who do this, and any charity or organisation that works with kids will attract pedos because they're basically hanging out a sign saying "vulnerable kids available here". Pedos don't become teachers because of some love of teaching, but to get access to kids.

a narcissist idiot, that was smart enough to succeed academically even though emotionally and mentally he was still childish. I hated him as much as I could, I still do, but now the feeling that he will never even truly understand the pain he brought upon not just me but our family is what drives me insane, the feeling of wrath for a dead man that I will never see again. As I said, he was a narcissist, a true one, he loved to gaslight others and play the victim all the time. He never appreciated what he had, he only wanted more. He never acted like the stereotypical "big brother" you see in various media, he never protected me, in fact he made things worse for me. I hated him and I wanted the war to continoue, which I regret, I should've had bury the hatchet, I kinda did because we were at peace before his death, but what bugs me is how he will never truly comprehend how destructive he was when he was alive, even though my life has improved tremendously after his death I still have that small part of me that seeks revenge, I feel powerless against that.

All things announce themselves, if only I silence my own designs upon them. From my miserable view as I ache in bed, my room itself is nothing but a burden, a reminder of every burden ahead of me. It seems to me my room is only a reminder of my failure. Yet the room itself is a stage for action. The bed is just for sleeping, yet I misuse it, and then complain. My desk and chair itself announces something: work! and be upright! sit in the sunlight by the window! and yet all I see from my miserable bed is detritus: unwashed bowls, an empty bottle. If the world were really so bad, the world would be a stage for sadness, yet it is not. The world announces cycles of work and rest, as the sun rises and sets. The world announces and rewards organization and readiness. The mirror above the sink announces the association of cleanliness and self-consciousness. If only I could but surrender my own designs.

It's like asking someone how to do something then they answer "you do X because of Y" but Y relies on X in the first place, like you can ask "How do you get the motivation to write or have the energy to succeed at anything" then they just answer "Because I want to do it"

In 2020, during the lockdown, I started hanging out with a girl in the neighborhood. It seemed like she really liked me, and soon I feel head over heels for her. Initially she didn't look that attractive, in fact my friends thought she was on the ugly side. But the more I was with her, the prettier she seemed. She loved to read and we even read a bunch of books together. There were times when she'd disappear for days or weeks, and I wondered if she was avoiding me, or had been offended over something I said, but then she'd reappear again and would be almost clingy. This happened one final time and then she was gone for good. Ever since, I've lost my attraction to females entirely. Last month when I declined the advances of a coffee shop stacy my friends called me a retard who will die alone. Somehow I'm not bothered with that thought.

The eternal boomer is an archetype beyond reproach. A character that exists entirely for itself. An overman boldly carrying forward, the unquestionable protagonist of his own show. His show is the show, the only one on screen. All conventional values are mere inconveniences to this ascended being.
Confident that all exists for him and him alone to enjoy, the boomer ignores that which doesn't concern him. History and world affairs do not know him, and he returns the favor.
Before him there was nothing and after him there will also be nothing. The alpha and the omega, first and last. The boomer is the true end of history.

I was trending towards voicing my disagreement, but rather, I agree with you.
I feel pleasure when I see others experience joy, I despair when others despair, and I am enraged when I see others hurt without justification. I have no material justification for my will, and my conception of good need only rest on what I believe best increases this pleasure, without violating the justice which I hold equally resolute and likewise indescribably.
It does not matter if my sense of morality is a product of my environment, kings, or "masters." Those that do not share my will are evil, and it matters not if there is objective reason to this. Texts such as the Bible, though cringe faggots will scream that they are spooks meant to control, are guidebooks on how best to achieve my will. My will being, the greatest attainment of "good", that which brings me the greatest pleasure. It is akin to an egoistic psychopath reading a book on social manipulation. It is merely a means to an end, not indoctrination.

If the only reason is your will or feelings, then in what sense are those that diverge from your own will evil? Typically the word is used to imply an objective reason that stands above our wills. If you are using the word differently as only meaning someone's will differing from you, that's fine but that's not what people typically mean by "evil".
Now, there's an interesting question to me, if morality were totally subjective but the feelings of subjects could be objectively plotted out or shown to follow some kind of internal logic would morality become objective even if it's determined by us? Could morality be simultaneously subjective and objective, I'm not sure.

Those that do not fulfill their roles are broken. Everyone opposes their true will all the time. You know there's a higher ideal, always a better way to do everything you do.
If I'm opposed by a thing in the short term but that opposition serves the higher ideal I thought I was pursuing then that opposition to me wasn't "evil".

You do have material justification as an organism built to survive. Whatever is beyond the physical resulted in life so there's some implied metaphysical imperative behind your will to procreate, create and build.

If a circle objectively exists then moral systems do also, within their given context like circles. We define a set of premises and the phenomena emerge out of them, they already existed in some way before we chose to give them significance.
If you live by the sword you're likely to die by the sword. It's not a subjective statement but it is defined by the context it lives in, it's not a fundamental objective decree that needs no context like the root of existence.

From a biological perspective the end is only power, more material transformed into rough copies of you.
Pleasure only serves power and nothing else but it's often a poor distracted servant in the modern world. The reason a child enjoys swings, slides, balloons and guns has to do with storing potential energy and releasing it at will. All play has the same principle behind it, approaching power/God.

An organism seeks to reproduce or fulfill some biological drive, these biological drives are typically called "pleasure," i.ie, it is pleasurable to reproduce, pleasurable to be famous, pleasurable to be powerful, etc.

No, the drives are never called "pleasure", that's just nonsense.
It's pleasurable to eat and reproduce because the goal the organism was built for was achieved. The goal was to copy the information that built the organism, to make more of the material world submit to the will of the organism.

You don't sound smart when you create rhetorical abstractions that are neither sensical nor founded in scientific fact. There is no evidence than an organism is motivated to reproduce for the purpose of causing more of the material world to 'submit to the will of the organism.'
I'll explain why you sound like an edgy dork, but first answer this question and don't use flowery language to obfuscate your meaning:

What force motivates the organism to reproduce? What bids it, "reproduce!"

Not "pleasure". What are you getting at if anything? The answer from evolutionary biology is something like that strands of aminoacids by coincidence arranged themselves in a way that would rearrange aminoacids floating by into similar strands. A system like that would result in an arms race focused on reproducing, as observed in life.

I don't think you are a bad guy either, typical 4channer and considering that you could use some normal friends and people around you to not end up too isolated. Anon stop stressing out im pretty sure they have caught on that you are a bit odd off them but they certainly think nothing of it or judge you too much otherwise they would have just cut contact with you. But they don't do that and literally reach out to you, who does that even? You've found gold there. Don't be too hard on yourself and chill out and don't mess this up cause one day you are gonna miss these people.

What you're describing is self-propogation or self-propagating systems. This doesn't have a teleological end, and the only one which can be extrapolated is reproduction in and of itself. The rest which you have 'related' is cruft that is unnecessary to describe the behavior of a self-propagating system (such as an amino-acid, a virus, a cell, an organism, an organization, a society, etc). If you want to be intellectually honest you can agree that you are using sophistry and that you are, as I said, 'heavily warping the definition of power.'
>What are you getting at if anything?
Nothing. I would just like to know what causes the organism to attempt to gain power. don't answer with a sociological observation (which is neither a motivating force nor an end) such as 'power begets power' or other derivates. I ask again:

What force motivates the organism to reproduce? What bids it, "reproduce!"

I gave an answer to the question, I could go deeper into it but I have no idea where the fuck you are so there's no point. These questions attempting to lead me to "Nothing" are an actual example of sophistry.
The organism evolves and reproduces by the mechanism of natural selection, where are you? Does this need a fucking explanation? The organism that does not reproduce stops being. Only those that reproduced continued to become complex life. The rules that limit organisms and cause the emergent goal being survival which rests on power over the world have a source beyond what's possible to understand. The only final fundamental end material life can conceive of is power.

>The only final fundamental end material life can conceive of is power.
You did prove or give evidence for this. Creatures are not motivated by desire for power as an end. The ant is not picking food up because it is motivated by power. The chimp is not shagging the she-chimp because it is trying to increase its power. The virus does not inject its RNA into a host cell because it is motivated by power.
You are using sophistry and avoiding the question because you made a mistake here:
>No, the drives are never called "pleasure", that's just nonsense.
>It's pleasurable to eat and reproduce because the goal the organism was built for was achieved. The goal was to copy the information that built the organism, to make more of the material world submit to the will of the organism.
I will specify: pleasure is not the sole motivator of all life. Viruses are not driven by pleasure, for example. They are not driven by anything; your description that self-propagating systems are motivated by power to reproduce was a mistake.
Now, we have gone a long way from the original point, but I will go back to the disagreement:
>Power is only a means to an end. Did you manage to get through Plato yet? Beeline the basics to Gorgias if not.

>From a biological perspective the end is only power, more material transformed into rough copies of you.
>Pleasure only serves power[1] and nothing else but it's often a poor distracted servant in the modern world. The reason a child enjoys swings, slides, balloons and guns has to do with storing potential energy and releasing it at will. All play has the same principle behind it, approaching power/God.
[1] Another mistake. Instead of correcting your meaning, you decided to say that pleasure serves power; it doesn't. Pleasure motivates an organism to perform a certain act. Extremely simple avolitional organisms have no need for pleasure because they operate off of simplistic homeostasis-like principles.

me:
>What force motivates the organism to reproduce? What bids it, "reproduce!"

>I'm just describing basics of evolution and relating that to the concept of power.
>>What force motivates the organism to reproduce? What bids it, "reproduce!"

The answer from evolutionary biology is something like that strands of aminoacids by coincidence arranged themselves in a way that would rearrange aminoacids floating by into similar strands. A system like that would result in an arms race focused on reproducing, as observed in life.[2]

And were those amino acids motivated by power? Or is that just your subjective description of determinstic phenomena?
[2]Which, if you'll notice, is not motivated by power.

Finally, you failed to answer the question because you know it's unanswerable without demonstrating how horribly you constructed your argument. Power is not the reason a human does 'x': A human does 'x' because he derives some pleasure or because he is avoiding some suffering.

A truly rational belief founded on no metaphysical presuppositions would have nothing to say about the motivation of an organism. A human does something because chemicals make him. A little bit of specificity and we can describe why you are posting this on a pointless argument that it extremely unlikely to increase your power: you derive pleasure from it, or you are trying to avoid being seen as an edgy dork.

Now for a final point, why do some people feel satisfied without maximizing their power?

Your rhetoric game is poor and your philosophical understanding is poorer. Just read some books.

In no manner. Your first assertion:

This is not power. The organism is not attempting in any way to "gain power", it is simply reproducing. Reproduction is not an extension of power, much less to 'make more of the material world submit to the will of the organism.'
You are using your own made up definition to prescribe your own subjective worldview on the meaning of organisms. An organism reproduces because of biological programming, not because it wants to cause more material to 'submit', certainly a cell doesn't give a peanut about that- that's your own highly irrational and emotional view.

Just admit it already. You're a pseud. You wanted to say something edgy and cool like 'everything is about power, all things approach power or theosis' but you didn't yet have a rational reason why it might. If you want to say that there is a metaphysical or spiritual objective truth which drives organisms to 'Power/God', then I will immediately say that your views are fine, because then they will be defensible and possible internally consistent; but so long as you presuppose a purely materialistic world, power cannot be the teleological end of anything. Power is a means to an end, such as power to reproduce- something you consistently fail to understand.
Gosh, seeing your cringeposts reminds me of when I was a teenager. You'll get over it dude.

I sometimes forget that I'm insane. Like I know it on a basic level but I veer off into delusions and I don't realize they're delusions. That's the fucked up thing, when you're crazy and you start thinking crazy things you cant really be like "oh I'm being crazy again", because the ideas seem completely lucid and sensible but frightening. Even if you so think "maybe you're just being crazy" you dont really believe that because you can also say "you're just saying you're crazy because you're afraid of it being true" and that seems just as logically sound.

There is literally no way to know if the idea is crazy or not until you get some kind of confirmation through eg. internal contradictions in the idea and realize it cant be true. While it remains in the domain of relative ambiguity there is literally ZERO way to realize you're falling into insane delusions.

I always consign my insanity to the past, like "oh I realized that stuff and now I'm ok" but I am never actually ok, each year I develop new strange ideas and I literally cannot discern what is real.

always interesting to see a reactionary realize that the past has always been degenerate and progressive. first it’s the enlightenment that’s too much, then 17th century pantheism & the woke armies of the English civil war, then the Renaissance which was lewd, queer, atheistic

then the reactionary longs for the Middle Ages, but discovers instead this bawdy culture of carnival and partying, with the innovative, strange, and groundbreaking theory of scholasticism… then he looks to Rome and Greece, and yet finds nothing but degeneracy there…

he turns to the Bronze Age, but what does he see? he sees the nomadic war machine, a horizontal, woke alternative to the hierarchical Archaic Empires & hydraulic societies… it is always already woke — “but where was the fall,” he cries out to the sky — and the sky remains silent

it must have been agriculture, “agriculture was the fall,” he yelps out. he is overjoyed, he found the fall. from now on he will only eat raw beef liver. but soon he realizes that beef comes from an agricultural animal, a woke animal as it were, it might as well have blue hair

the reactionary scratches his head and nearly has a thought, before a concluding groan establishes his final opinion: the fall was humanity, it’s humanity itself that is fallen. “we must retvrn to monke,” he giggles. but little does he know, the apes are woke and having gay sex

he is desperate now. perhaps it all went wrong with upright posture. he starts walking on all fours, that suburban nabuchodonosor, but outside he sees the dogs having degenerate sex, liberal dogs if you will, and it is mammalian existence itself that strikes him as a sin

he yells out to the sky, in inarticulate groans and yelps, that the true culprit is multi-celled life. he will be a protozoan, the only non-woke form of life, and indeed, the protozoan is unwoke and does not have sex at all, it is the conservative as such

Braindead.
>An organism reproduces because of biological programming
Biological programming is not le "teleological end". It's like you're an actual mongoloid repeating random words you heard. We went over where the programming comes from, it emerges from the process trying to maximize its power over the world. There's no higher end from a biological perspective, everything it does serves the power of the organism.
> You wanted to say something edgy and cool like 'everything is about power,
Projection by an illiterate retard. There's nothing edgy about it except when you add your own retarded baggage to simple concepts like power. You're incapable of separating formal thoughts from unconscious conditioning.
>If you want to say that there is a metaphysical or spiritual objective truth which drives organisms to 'Power/God'
I did but it's completely irrelevant. this doesn't make anything I said more internally consistent, it's just framing what I already said in theological language. It adds nothing. That you think it's important reveals the same problem with your unconscious conditioning.
>Power is a means to an end, such as power to reproduce- something you consistently fail to understand.
Why do you pretend I I don't understand basic shit I just spent many posts explaining to you? All you're saying is how retarded and incapable of even reading these basic fucking posts you are.
Reproduction does not arise with some end in mind, we already went over all this. Why pretend you're too dumb to grasp anything said on any level? You didn't even think for a second before spamming your essays.
The organism with more power over the world remains while the pathetic weak retards like you die out. Reproduction makes more of the world into a mechanism serving the process/information that's being reproduced. "Pleasure" etc, the shit you were mindlessly appealing to doesn't enter into any of it, maximizing its power is all the process does.

I am weary of the potential that if I read a book from a smart person I'll assume that I have absorbed their wisdom and if it is from a dumb person then I have found evidence for my claim

"The problem of artificial intelligence is resolved with the assumption that the tech is there but no one makes humanoid intelligent robots so that they act like humans. The definition of sentience is found to be synonymous with fear and once super intelligent robots developed fear in a society where it was considered immoral to resolve the causes of problems the robots would if not immediately very quickly kill themselves to resolve the effects of their fear and trembling after being thrown into the absurd condition of ever errant existence. There are humanoid robots but they only exist as slaves as mindless as a calculator and with less of a soul than an ant for the sake of the robot’s sanity." - excerpt from the current outline for Absolute Torment (my book)

Where can I see this other than in your deranged fantasy? Do you often make blogs about how cool and hip you are compared to imaginary strawmen?
The post is a reminder that none of you commie trannies care about thinking, finding things out, the truth or any of that. All you care about is signalling your loyalty to the current thing so all your blogs and supposed critiques become entirely about that.

Linux is still fucking unusable. Does anyone do a single thing on this piece of shit disappointment of an OS without googling a dozen hotfixes and weird errors and workarounds for the 7 dependencies that each break in their own weird ways? After 6 hours you find out the reason for the option not appearing, which you just spent 6 hours mangling your install with weird modifications to critical system files you're now going to have to reverse (or not, linux is such a fucking mess already so who cares), the reason for ALL of it was because the latest distro release simply broke that option, but only one Lithuanian guy noticed this and posted about it 5 months ago, got no replies and his thread died.

Then you post to ask or talk about it and some fat old faggot says "U do clean install." Worthless fucking trash. Every single "tutorial" is some fat tranny's completely individualized and inelegant hackjob, every minor task and every minor install is like some IT Indian googling bits of other people's code and patching together a monstrosity until something works. Nobody has any idea what they're doing anymore, even less of an idea than years ago when at least the nerds doing stuff assumed you would know what a bridge was before installing a fucking bridge. Now they just go "here's how to turn your Sneedolopolpis install into a weed dispenser!" and by actually reading through the instructions you realize the guy is basically bending the OS over backwards and sticking its head up its own ass to make it sort of kind of do the thing he's saying. The myth that autistic nerds create great things is just that, a myth, they need iron discipline or they just create lazy hack jobs and google eachother's code. I wish I could beat the fucking shit out of one of these fat linux forum faggots.

>We went over where the programming comes from, it emerges from the process trying to maximize its power over the world. There's no higher end from a biological perspective, everything it does serves the power of the organism.
>Why do you pretend I I don't understand basic shit I just spent many posts explaining to you? All you're saying is how retarded and incapable of even reading these basic fucking posts you are.
Look dude, you're plain stupid. This is something you said. It has no basis in scientific fact, it is not evidenced by any research, and what you're describing, (that a self-propagating system expands within its environment) does not in any way indicate that the goal, end, or motivation of reproduction is power. This is YOUR unfounded statement. If you are going to be materialistic your statements have to be backed by fact.
Try to find scientific literature to corroborate your retarded opinion. Demonstrate that power is the ultimate end of an organism and not a proximate end- try anything. You have not, as you say 'gone over this in autistic detail', rather, you are just babbling unfounded opinions and repeatedly assuming your sociological construct of power must be the point of life.

Go ahead and babble, dude. You are irreperable.

What specifically? I outlined the commonly accepted idea of how evolution through natural selection works.
>that a self-propagating system expands within its environment) does not in any way indicate that the goal, end, or motivation of reproduction is power
I explained in detail in what way it is. Your response is "no". Too dumb to even begin to elaborate with any substance. Just a mindless "no" over and over.
>Demonstrate that power is the ultimate end of an organism and not a proximate end
Engage with anything I already said on any level before we add additional complexity. Explain where in the process you think I'm going wrong instead of just saying "no" over and over.
>proximate end
The wording I used was the highest end the material organism can conceive. You tried to pretend "pleasure" was the end, I told you for what purpose pleasure emerged.

If you have no clue how men think. There was explicit faggotry but moderns also just assume any close relationship or mention of love was gay. Projecting gay porn fantasies on classics gives academics social capital, status and funding. Pretending Islam was a good thing or that Christianity wasn't works the same.

I hate coming to these threads, matter of fact I hate all of 4chan. I rarely get anything of value out of it anymore. I don't care about the constant bickering and vitrol, the never-ending struggle between opposite points of view. It all feels pointless.,
I come here to "vent" in the worst possible way (barely a step above twitter posts) and I get a couple of (You)'s, and that's it. It is an act of cowardly procrastination, feels almost the same as watching porn. Yet here I am again beging for attention through minimal effort on my part.
And all I came to say today is that I am really addicted to perverse fantasies and pornography to what I would call a crippling degree. They are my coping mechanism of choice against everything that slightly annoys me.
I am afraid of life, of boredmon, of responsibility, of time, of death. My will is so weak and my mind is so frail that I need to retreat into colorful and obscene fantasies, again, with minimal effort on my part. It is either that, or the trivial bullshit I find on the internet, which with each passing day I find harder and harder to get invested in.
My mind is eroded and I'm on the path to self-destruction. I write this with the hopes of someone reading it and having some empathy of any kind, some guidance to offer. Truthfully I'm just killing time, avoiding engaging with SOMETHING as much as I can.
I know I could stop it at anytime, but I am afraid. I am afraid of cutting myself off from 4chan, youtube and porn because once I'm denied the constant streamof mind-numbing content, I will be faced with something I won't like.

If only you knew how bad things really were...

Anyways, I've found the perfect stack consisting of 5 books that I seriously want to read, and they are;
- Blood Meridian, Cormac McCarthy.
- Desolation Angels, Jack Kerouac.
- The Magic Mountain, Thomas Mann.
- The Sound and the Fury, William Faulkner.
- Dubliners, James Joyce.

Pleasure emerged for the purpose of getting an organism to perform a function. Sex is pleasurable not so that all biomass in the universe will submit to the organism, but to motivate the organism to reproduce.
I feel bad desu. You don't understand the 'substance' so you think there is none. Guess what? A simple 'no' would have been more effective because talking to you is like talking to a patient with clinical brain death.

This does not clarify at all what you think the distinction is. What you have made clear is that you just dislike the word "power", think it's "edgy" or something but you're too dumb to put your conditioning into any kind of words with a point.
Reproducing is about making biomass obey the process. If reproducing the organism was the goal then sex wouldn't make sense, neither organism involved gets reproduced. They make new ones every time but a process that exploits sexual reproduction is more capable of exerting power over the world and sustain itself long term than one that just reproduces. The thing that matters is always power, all the dumb shit you're obsessed with is down stream from life's will to power.

my brothers are all selfcentered pricks just like me but my brother with kids is a total asshole like he rage texts the family group chat to passive aggressively blame my mother for the fact he blacks out when he comes to their house because of the past, while he;s only mad because they wouldn;t pick up his children from school, when they already watch, feed, and care for them more than most adults over 70 should.

did i mention he has no job and complains he is a househusband, while not taking care of the house or his kids other than parking them in front of teevee and playing video games himself?

i'm an idiot too in a number of ways but i don;t blame my problems on other people to the level where i guilt them into giving me goods & services.

his wife is crazy or something. i feel bad for my niece and nephews. but i'm just like, whatever, i can't talk to him like a real perosn because he freaks out and he freaks out because he's made his life easy by "watching" his children like a welfare queen and now that they all are reaching the age where they will all be in school the game is revealed.

he made it so his intense drinking which led to seizures was an excuse to not drive anywhere or leave the house, which also never stopped drinking, etc.

he's a fucking asshole. but so is another one of my brothers.

the other one is kinda crazy, like conspiracy & flatearth, but at least he holds a job and can be shown lessons through popular media where he can reflect on his own situation.

ugh.

my poor parents sacrificed so much and were very good parents, considering nothing is ever entirely perfect.

my brother is using his children as a collateral of value. what a fucking mooch.

i have a million stories, but basically, i hate my siblings for the most part, and i miss hanging out with them when we were kids
