Imagine being a rich kid and never having to worry about school or a job or a career and knowing you could just up and move to a place? Don’t like your life in New York? Just move to France for a few months. Don’t want to work? Do nothing but paint for a few months. Want to get some easy sinecure job that sends you a steady paycheck while you do nothing? Here you go. I can’t even wrap my head around it. Until recently, I had to fight for every dollar and every opportunity and every degree of freedom I was ever afforded.

I've just realized that while well-adjusted people have aspirations and some higher goals, I've spent almost 30 years of my life only wanting one thing: to be in a relationship with somebody I like, and I failed miserably at achieving even that. How fucked up and pathetic is that? Imagine people telling you that they want to become something, and all you can say back is that you just want somebody to love you. I don't even think this is about having someone in your life, because Im comfortable being alone, I just need validation, that I'm worth something.

No it doesn't. At least not by itself. A virtuous response to suffering builds character. Suffering alone grinds you down. A traumatized mind is drastically disadvantaged and that suffering will beget suffering.

Consider the child who was abused and develops trust issues. They may then grow up to have relationship problems that cause tremendous more suffering and difficulties connecting. It's called kindling.

Or the child who grows up poor and is conditioned to view everything in life in terms of limitations rather than possibilities, constantly fixated on what they can't rather than can do. They will take less risks, perceive fewer opportunities , and view potential promises as threats.

I speak from experience. Although I am a stronger person from surviving my misfortunes, the slings and arrows keep coming and as the years go by it gets harder to still put up a fight. I'm tired of fighting and viewing the entire universe as hostile. I'm sick of thinking of life in terms of winning a war. Give me my praemia and my tract of land

Almost had a lit gf bros.

We met when she came in when I was on my shift at a cafe, she told me that her favorite book was Notes from Underground, we were talking on a daily basis, and while I wouldn't say we were anywhere near dating when it ended, I fucked it up anyways.

What ruined my chances completely were when I told her that I feel more understood by ChatGPT than 90% of the people I talk to, to which she responded that she is freaked out by AI, and I said that I foresee a world close to Wall-E and some other shit that in retrospect was in poor taste.

She was the normie type who I'm almost positive got into books through dark academia or related stuff, and didn't seem very unique or bright, but she was really pretty. Exactly my type. Made tiktoks which was a bit of a turnoff though.

In my dejected state I've succumbed to the words of Jordan Peterson and all those self-improvement gurus who make a point of taking responsibility for your life, but I fear that in the future, AI will pretty much eliminate any reason to compete or strive in the real world. It will gratify every desire, soothe all anxieties, and we will all end up perpetually entertained and atomized even more than we are today.

You have womangoggles on. They are special goggles that all men are born with, and you have to perform manual surgery in the mirror with a shard of glass to remove them. They don't affect your normal vision except when it comes to women. When you're looking at a woman, you instantly give her a massive handicap in evaluating her personality, interests, accomplishments, etc. Here, I'll tell you what this woman looks like without womangoggles on, as I have removed mine and I am a free man.

>her favorite book was Notes from Underground
Basic bitch completely average college English/Lit major girl, 99% chance she'll never go beyond reading a couple highschool/sophomorecore books like this and having a 100:1 ratio of reading-to-using reading as an identity and a fashion on social media. Nothing wrong with reading the book in and of itself, but it simply doesn't qualify her for interest beyond casual conversation. She only stood out emblazoned as significant in your vision because of your womangoggles.

>she responded that she is freaked out by AI,
Extremely basic normie response that indicates she never goes beyond such responses in her conversations which further indicates that she is very basic and will likely remain basic forever, only becoming more and more basic as her free social networking from college and dating apps die off as she ages. You were basically having a conversation with an NPC in a video game where the NPCs only recognize specific text strings relating to quests and common objects, and typing in full sentences and paragraphs while she said "I see!" and "Oh!"

>was in poor taste.
No, you talked like a normal person. Normal people share their real views on things. When men talk, it's the GOOD part when one of them broaches something that isn't basic and normal. If a man never went beyond "I see. I am.... [BAD EMOTION: FRIGHTENED] by.... [RECENT TOPIC: AI]," while you were sharing more or less complex thoughts about how AI is going to affect the world in the coming decades, you would conclude he's boring and move on. That's how normal people communicate. But you see her as surrounded by a shimmering halo of importance, so you think her "I see! I saw a .... MUDCRAB.... yesterday" is a baseline adequate performance, while your earnest attempt to communicate real information and sincerely held views is some kind of awkward fumble, well below baseline. There are no awkward fumbles between normal, self-respecting and mutually respecting men. Your threshold of tolerance and amity for a man saying something truly weird and wacky about AI is far, far, FAR higher than your instinctive threshold for YOURSELF when talking to a woman.

>I fucked it up anyways.
There is no "fucking up" in normal adult (male) life. Men talk to one another, men decide organically whether they like what the other guy has to say, men continue or discontinue relations on this basis. Some men are assholes and do it in a mean way, and then the other man usually says something like "fuck you" and forgets it. There is only the question of "fucking up" when you presuppose that one party in an encounter is the judge and the other is the judged, when one is the boss and the other is the prospective employee coming in for a job interview and nervously groveling. This is a good opportunity to carve your womangoggles out of your head because the disparity between this utterly unremarkable woman's non-existent right to judge you and your feeling of "fucking up" and doing things "in poor taste" is massive. Usually the disparity is much less, because usually a man is attracted to at least somewhat remarkable women, and it's consequently much harder for a man to see that even they are not his prospective boss or his judge, jury, and executioner. But this woman had the mind and interests of a mildly precocious 13 year old boy, and you are using language that is really only appropriate after being rejected by a prospective mentor for whom you have extremely high respect. I invite you to approach the mirror and begin the operation. There may never be a better time than this.

Thank you anon.

Yeah honestly, the attraction was pretty much completely physical. I think the fact that she was my type in superficial ways and had some level of interest in me because of my interests and talents made it feel like it was a good chance which I let slip through my fingers. But as you say the complete lack of self-respect, putting her on a pedestal, and myopia towards her shortcomings made any kind of deeper connection impossible in the first place. And one not even worth having in the first place.

The ChatGPT thing came up because she was reading Frankenstein (yes, another case of babby's first lit), and I brought it up thinking it was a relevant and thoughtful direction to take the conversation. A more likeminded person would have at the very least reflected on the similarity or had some insight beyond 'wow I'm scared of it and hate that my friends use AI on their essays'... The funniest thing about how all this ended is that she posted a tiktok that said she's not into older guys, and even if the things I said to her were anxiety-inducing or insensitive is obviously a mark of immaturity. And when I confronted her about it (wish I had been less affected by it, I'll admit I was being feminine), she acted all dumb and oblivious about it, even pretending that she didn't know I was a few years older than her when that had been established between us weeks before... Win stupid games, win stupid prizes. Not worth my time in the slightest.

Hopefully we'll meet partners who are attractive, erudite, and the right match. Till then I take the shard of glass to my eyes.

I don't know man. I still like her, but I think it's over. Before we ceased contact I acknowledged my shortcomings in that conversation and how what I said was insensitive, and she said that she finds me interesting and would like to know me better but that I jump to conclusions too much. And so I admitted yes, I do sometimes, that I need to work on that, and asked in turn that she be direct and firm in her boundaries (because she had posted some tiktoks implying disinterest which were 99.99% directed towards me- >>21821934 goes into what went down a bit more), and if we could move past this, but she said she can't see anything happening between us and that she is too busy and tired for relationships (even platonic ones). I told her that I respect it and cut off all contact and tried to move on. In our past exchanges in moments I had felt rejected, and was on the brink of moving on and she would demonstrate some level of wanting to keep me in her life, but this time she made no such attempt.

While we were corresponding I tried to communicate honestly whenever I felt it was necessary but this came in longform messages (not quite essays but you get what I mean, the kind of communication which might convey a level of attachment disproportionate to our level of connection) and if I were to reach out again I feel like it would just be overwhelming for her and maybe even leave a bad taste in her mouth. She lives quite far from me as well, and while I could go visit her I doubt she would even want that.

And I'm not an AI zealot. I like using ChatGPT since it can discuss ideas and understand what I'm getting at better than most of the people, since I don't really many likeminded people around in my life. There is also a self-serving element to it, in that I don't have to abide by the norms of conversation and can type in whatever the hell my train of thought has produced and often get interesting results. I understand the need for real life interlocutors- after feeling heartbroken about that girl I said fuck it, I'm not gonna cry about her, and traveled 3 hours to see a friend downstate and spoke with him for 7 hours straight on a variety of intellectual topics. I enjoy his company a lot. I'm just atomized and don't really leave the house much like a lot of you fucks.

Thing is I'm not a normie, and she never really saw me as that. I have unique creative talents which were probably the only reason our conversation even lasted as long as it had. By the 4chan definition I'm definitely autistic in that I'm asocial and have low self-esteem but I'm not actually incapable of connecting with other human beings.

I think what went wrong for me was that I tried too hard to gain her approval. I saw how she would have almost a hundred comments on some of her pictures (I get maybe two at most), and that being social seemed like a big part of her life, that felt that the skills I had developed over a number of years would not compensate for that. When in reality it was probably the one thing that kept her interested in me, and if I had been bolder and less concerned with her opinion of me I probably would've done better.

Your problem in my opinion is that you know the way but you haven't walked it and felt it yet. I'm being 100% unironic right now, you are valid. Never feel judged by anyone else again, unless it's for a genuine moral failure or inconsiderateness, or it is genuinely useful information to have like you have some habit that bothers people and you didn't know it did.

Stop comparing yourself with others in this way. Even if the entire world found you weird and off-putting it would still not necessarily mean you are doing anything wrong. Even from the way you talk in this post I can tell you're self-deprecating by default, in a way where you always assume you're wrong and normies are right, because normies are happy go lucky and you aren't. You think you have this under control because you know on a conscious level how to say all the right things and you know rationally that you're valid. But you don't feel valid if you're self-examining this much, and if you see what happened primarily in terms of your own failures. You didn't fail, you 1: learned more about type of person, who may or may not be your type, and how to interact with them when you meet future ones like this one, and 2: simply didn't jive with someone.

Don't give normies the power to act like they are valid while you are invalid, or they are "ahead of you" and you need to catch up to them, or anything like that. They will always take it because they are unthinking herd animals, more insecure than you are in a thousand ways because their insecurity is a purely emotional need to belong while yours is cerebral theorizing and moral commitment to self-improvement and so on. If you say to a normie "dude, you poured that ketchup so confidently! nice man! how do you do it?" he'd start giving you a speech about how you just need to be more confident man, he used to be like you but now he's cool (and you aren't yet), etc. She's a fucking dullard, you should have instantly cut off contact with her the instant she stopped behaving exactly the way YOU would behave to a slightly nervous or idiosyncratic guy who tried to chat you up.

You have done a responsible amount of self-examination and then some. You didn't do anything morally wrong, and you've learned a little bit about how dumb normie bitches don't like when you say sentences that are too long for their pea brains to handle. Stop feeling like these people are evaluating you or have any right to. Just bee yourself. Highly idiosyncratic weirdos who are too confident to notice that they're weird get laid, less idiosyncratic guys who overthink individual interactions with random loser monkey IQ women get nothing.

It's cope with their inability to get shit done, people have no fucking idea how much progress is possible with 1 focused year, just ONE if you're average healthy young man with average or especially above average IQ which I actually assume most here are which might be one of the main reasons for their handicap because they overthink instead of acting. Action trumps everything, inaction, handicaps, illness, talents, IQ, natural gifts, depression... everything.

Most probably know and understand this, but they don't feel it because they don't act in any significant meaningful way, as soon as you start pushing things forward you will feel this to be true and only than will you be able to logically convince yourself it is true and worth doing. Before that you literally need to force yourself do some shit like you were your own prison guard or slave owner.

There isn't a problem that can't be fixed or at least significantly improved within 1 focused year but you need to change your mindset completely, positive outlook only is key. You can't keep seeing yourself as a loser and thinking it's impossible to achieve your goals because that is literally self-sabotage. You can't say "well ok I'll try to do this one more time, I bet I'll fail just like the last time..." and honestly hope something will change, it almost certainly won't.

It's incredibly simple yet not not easy in any way, but if you know it's simple as acting and being in yourself you need to keep pushing, as soon as you give up you sealed your own faith and it's in fact over.

I'm turning 33 soon . The sky didn't fall and my dick didn't stop working when I turned 30. In fact as soon as I turned 30 and nothing about my life really changed, I stopped caring about my age. In fact I became more grizzled and stoical across the board . I'm not nearly as turbulent and anxious to live like I used to be, which has its benefits and drawbacks.

Worrying about your age is the most futile of pass times. There's nothing you can do to stop getting older. Worry about your health. That you can at least partially control.

I'm not a fan of getting older, don't get me wrong. I sometimes reflect on my younger self and wish I did more and thought bigger. I sometimes have mild envy for blossoming youths, but I am also beginning to feel advantaged in experience over them. Life goes on. Stop being a coward. Live while you can.

Because it’s just a poor excuse. “Oh I’m a genius but let me cave to this societal pressure that any competently motivated person would push past”.
Women are, in the ways that we can attempt to measure it, less likely to be geniuses in the first place as a statistical given. But if you also factor in that this kind of cake and eat it bullshit holds them back, they’re clearly less likely to be worth keeping around.

This is false because everyone is subject to societal pressure. Being a genius has nothing to do with actually acting upon your thoughts and going against the current. Einstein first wanted to be a plumber, and chose not to. Hypatia could have been like every other woman in Alexandria. She could've been in some comfy palace, tending to a loving and influential husband. She chose to stay a celibate and become a mathematician. This led her to become the most respected female figure of Alexandria. Saying women can't be geniuses because muh societal expectations is literally spitting on Marie Curie and every other women that made it.

Of course some would justify their own mediocrity with "oh, but I am a woman and I can't spend my time the way a man can" (why? she perfectly could), or with "I have x and x mental illnesses, and probably ADHD so I can't study even if my life depended on it LOL". It's basic coping mechanisms. Most people don't want to admit they are mediocre and have shit discipline, which is why most people aren't geniuses or extremely good at something.

One thing that comes to mind immediately is the nature of hell and it possible location.
Saturn which might or might not be somewhere on a larger Earth as the gate/portal to hell which but you need to get on the correct frequency, and these frequencies could be resonated by certain ancient artefacts like the black stone at Kaaba that basically keep humanity in the matrix. There's also the idea that time is the most direct manifestation of Satan, time kills us, takes away from us we are in constant battle against time, and if you stop measuring or caring about time you free yourself and live freely in the moment and grounded

Now I know this might not sound very original since many people today talk about these things but the way I understood it at that time was completely original for me because I never heard this anywhere before only some vague connections between Saturn and satan.

There are also various realisations which are not original by any means but do feel like they are if and when you come to release them on your own. Such the utmost importance of human action in overcoming our problems, achieving things and even enjoying life and not only action even struggle to some extent. I stumbled on this one day when I was doing some physically intensive work like shovelling gravel or pushing for wheelbarrow for hours and hours and you need to find ways to distract your mind from this incredibly dull activity so I started to pray the Jesus prayer repeatedly ""Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner" and then I remembered the catholic saying of "Ora et labora" - prayer and work, and it made complete sense that the most direct fullproof way to overcome your struggles is work and pray. Then there's the realisation of highest values in reality being truth, goodness (love) and beauty and everything worth doing should ideally have all 3, it's also the best way to judge both ideas and people.

Like I said none of this is probably original but it was for me at the moment I got the idea.

As someone prone to his own share of otherworldly insights I understand where you're coming from, but I feel like the mark of a true genius is the ability to contribute a perspective which shifts the worlds of many individuals. Your perspective feels unfounded- don't get me wrong, it could be valuable from an artistic perspective, if you were to render your visions into paintings or even soundscapes, but metaphysically it doesn't really do anything for me.

They’re the same. School just comes first. The sterility of a computer job is just as liable to suffocate genius thought. Ironically, geniuses have to learn early that they should stop jamming a square peg into a round hole and take the McCarthy method. Sure, he served in the Air Force which is pretty conformist, but he otherwise lived as a bum with shitty jobs and practically dropped out of society at one point. That’s the key. You can’t be a genius artist, scientist, inventor or anything else while you’re chasing a career or law or banking or while you’re trying to get hired in data analytics or get a degree in economics. By the time these guys realize that, they might be in their 30s and that’s a lot of lost creative time.

My brother is like this. He’s about 30 and still jamming a square peg into a round hole. I wish he would just do what he really wants, but his stubborn nature makes him desperately want to finally get a degree and a normie career almost as if he can prove to himself that he can do it. We all know he can. Some just think he’s lazy, but I know it’s just not his nature.

suicide in japan is often viewed as undertaken because of one being dishonoured. A man fights hard,
if he does not fight hard enough he is dishonoured. The west views suicide as one not trying and simpling giving up. Many people in the west commit suicide due to a breakup, a death of a loved one, the inability to provide income to fulfill one's desires, the inability to pursue ones dreams because they stuck in a 9-5 job or bogged down by resposibilities. Japan viewed by western culture is strong with its old ways of honour that even carry into the modern age, partially, but they don't see whats now happening where japs are working long shifts in white walled offices doing nothing but looking at numbers and replying to emails all day. They are now commiting suidice for the same reasons as the west but its not yet viewed that way by the west. People in the west are uncomfortable about suicide because they know these people are just like them and they can so easily be in the same position so would rather not think about it. The west views japanese suicides as honourable and well earned after a trial of effort so they are a lot more comfortable with that. But this is a romanticized view because of media and literature about the ways of old

School is a brainwashing facilty which a true genius should be able to pass mostly unscathed, it will waste his time and he maybe won't develop his full potential like he could if he gotten a proper education tailored for a genius but it won't brainwash him or keep him down.

Work on the other hand is a matter of choice, I find it hard to believe that a genius would allow himself to fall into the trap of wageslavery especially today when there are so many alternative options.

We might have different definitions of genius but for me it is a well rounded individual that's good in most areas of life not some hyperfocused geek, more like renaissance man and as such it shouldn't be too hard for him to take care of the finances in a way that suits him more.

i had a dream a few months ago that i stood infront of my family, exclaming my distain for being alive and how theyve caused me nothing but suffering before putting a gun to my head and pulling the trigger. I heard to shot go off, felt the weight within my skull be lifted and watched as i fell to the floor through the cockpit of my own eyes.

I read a few weeks earlier on a random topic about how dreams are viewings into alternate lives or views of the future. I often wake up remembering my dreams but right now i can only ever remember 2 dreams ive had, one when i was 9 years old and the one mentioned above. I strongly beleived after said dream that there was some mystical force and i was either viewing my destiny or what i must do fulfill some prophecy.

A month or so after that dream i read that that our dreams are our memories organizing themselves, often replaying back in our minds as dreams. Since then i've lost all beleif in any kind of mystical or powerful presence and have had a very technical view on the world, especially the emotions of other.

We are simply nothing more than the result of our nuture and nature manifested. Our upbringing, our DNA and the situation we are in are the only factors in how we behave and how we feel and we are nothing more than slaves to our emotions. This has given me a nihilistic view on the world but not in a negative way, more in a way that emotion rules supreme and everything is pointless because of it.

Every major accomplishment that man has claimed, they have been praised or worshipped for, every negative thing they have been ridiculed and punished for, is nothing but a simple emotional response. Those who beleive crazy things simply do because of the chemicals that circulate through their brain, made by their past and their DNA.

We are not here for any purpose, we were a simply a dice roll on a trillion sided die that landed, there may be other life, there may be not. Thats all life is, is emotion, instict and entropy. As much as we hope so, we cannot predict it nor control it as it is not controllable or predictable.

There seems to be a misunderstanding then. Who said anything about "crying that it is over"? The only thing that was said is acknowledging the fact that "it is over." This is perfectly reasonable if all attempts have failed and continue to fail despite best efforts. Why refuse to admit something that is evidently true? Do you think that would bring success, or just more frustration and anger? Sometimes it's not only OK, but even beneficial to admit you have failed and you can't succeed here.

I read mostly for knowledge. And it keeps surprising me how many fields of "knowledge" are 90% speculation based on loose patterns, but are taken seriously. Economics, soft sciences, all have this problem. But even philosophy has fallen prey to this, modern phil has no interest in metaphysics/epistemology which grounds the whole discipline. It's all subjective shit now.

There's a feeling now that only the hard sciences can make true progress. But, in my view the hard sciences are the least important area of study. Our lives are short -- philosophy, politics, economics -- solving all the problems of those disciplines will make us happy now. Yet no one alive is really making progress in it, and all the bright minds are in STEM now. It's weird. STEM won't make us happy. But everyone seems to think it will.

I can officially say, for the first time in my life, there are no longer any glaring reasons for me to be unattractive to women. I have a real, in-person job that sounds attractive (teacher), I make an at least average amount of money, probably above average for my age, I'm not afraid of driving anymore, I live on my own, I look decent, or at least as good as I ever have, I have friends, I can hold a conversation decently well, and I have creative hobbies. Most if not all of these things are not things that came as easily to me as they do for a well-adjusted guy but I have them now.
As of this moment, every subsequent moment I don't get a girlfriend is pretty much the result of a shitty world, not my own faults. None of us deserve anything, I don't mean to imply we do, but it seems objectively true that romantic non-starting ceases to be my fault from this day onward.

You have to accept that people like that may not even figure out their mistake in that respect. It's obvious what he actually means with his silly catchphrases is that intelligence, effort, and success, is what builds character. Suffering is an occasional byproduct of that process, and he hasn't thought about the process enough to even realize that. He probably will never think about the process because he is focused on other things, if he is actually successful. What you should always do is learn to trust your own judgments.

How did feminism turn women into incompetent women's true role?
I agree in the sense that libfeminism is absolutely retarded and works almost complete against women's interest. Every big tenet, "sex work is work" no it's not it's exploitation. "Women should be allowed to wear whatever they feel most comfortable in" I agree with this, but whenever I see it applied it's an excuse to wear revealing clothes. I'm not against a woman doing that, but you're really telling me that THAT's what's most comfortable. "It's how I express myself" Why is how you express yourself exactly aligned with what men want to see. Make up too, "I express myself with make-up" are you really telling me that you'd wear make up in a vacuum?
Sex positivity, more often than not women get the short end of the stick in casual sex, higher
STD rate, chance of pregnancy, a man can overpower you.
Don't even get me STARTED on "bimbo" and other shitty aesthetic trends. Libfem has been co-opted by men and pick-me women who only endorse whatever flavor of feminism is most palatable to men. Why the fuck are things like getting more women into leadership roles and rejecting the pressure to make ourselves appealing the male gaze cast aside in favor of dressing for men and objectifying ourselves under the guise of "empowerment"

But anyway, what would woman and man's roles look like? In a primal setting, men would hunt, build, and carry while women would rear children, forage, and organize. Both need intelligence, but on different levels. Men would need better spatial awareness while women would need better pattern recognition. Modern day, I think women make good bureaucrats and men would make good construction workers. But without gender, true nature I guess is just whatever you're best at. I don't know what you're referring to with "they cannot compete with males" I guess physically you're right. Women are doing better in higher education though, so they can out compete men there. I don't know what "excelling" at being female would be. Raising successful children? What is excelling at being a man?

Death ain't shit.
Countless billions of living things have died before you. Trillions even. I can't think of the right number. They have all passed through that threshold.

Make death your bitch and you are the Master of Reality. Conquer life through the triumph of the fear of death. The fear of death is the ultimate prison and protocol of life, the boundary condition. All fears are little fears compared to this big fear. Master the fear of death and you will never be more free.
In the same sense the fundamental principle of the samurai Budhido code is to "live as though one were already dead."

Fuck death. Yes I would prefer to be alive, but fuck you Reality for imposing the fear of death on me without my consent.

Death is a release from the impressions of the senses, and from desires that make us their puppets, and from the vagaries of the mind, and from the hard service of the flesh.”
― Marcus Aurelius

[Anonymous No.21823870]

The primary societal safeguard against extremism and domestic terror is socialization. Socialization in this context is the mechanism by which society directly connects the individual to other individuals, and not necessarily to society itself. Someone without any meaningful connections to other individuals is unlikely to become an extremist. This is not because social connections allow someone to feel as if extreme actions are less necessary, but because they instill a more direct feeling of moralistic obligation than idealistic causes.

Extremism and terroristic acts are more common among social outcasts primarily because they do not feel any obligations to specific individuals. They may care, in theory, about society, the people in it, and social approval, but they perceive their acts, no matter how violent, as ultimately for the benefit of society. This is because any harm caused by the action is highly diffuse and imperceptible (at least before commision of the act), and any goods are seen as both urgently necessary and directly beneficial (as in vigilantism).

However, when an extremist perceives that their actions may bring harm on a specific individual (and not diffusely upon society in general) there is a much stronger urge to refrain from extremism. A father may want to refrain from terroristic acts to keep his children safe, or his wife out of scrutiny, even if he still holds extremist views. This form of direct connection is the single greatest preventative measure against extremism and extremist acts, and the rise in domestic terror, mass shootings, and other crimes is likely related to social atomization.

its a played out meme, but you need two things.
1. Purpose. Find something you are passionate about. If you are as depressed as you are saying you are, then no goal should insult your pride. Find it and chase it.
2. Food and fitness. Let food be thy medicine. Eat foods that are simple. Avoid seed/vegetable oils, refined sugars, processed foods and excessive carbs. This will require more from you, as it has become much easier to poison yourself in our world.
Fitness is essential. endorphins released from exercise boost mood and testosterone that leads to natural anti depressant results.

this is all to say that, if you try these things, and find yourself in a place where you still cannot control your emotions, you may need medication. That is not to say you should stop any of these things, but medication should be avoided at all costs. They do not treat the cause, they are Band-Aids that fucks with your mental chemistry.

The truth about sex has always been simple and intuitive to my mind. The division remains reducible to giver and receiver.
Women do not have penises, they can only mimic the aggressive outward forcing that is masculinity. A woman can never really rape. The ocean can swallow a ship, but the ship is the thing itself plunging downward.
Women will always be safe and inoffensive. A stream of sewage could come out a woman's mouth and would still appear as sweet.
The nastiness of which they are capable is rarely outwardly bold, but only takes an indirect or passive aggressive form. A woman's power comes either in a rejection of her own feminity to the purpose of aping the aesthetic of men, or in fully exploiting men's insane sexual desire. Or thirdly in other sophisticated social maneuverings.
On the point of form, a woman's beauty suffocates, intoxicates, and draws inward. Like those insect traps full of sweet bait , and the insects all buzzing around dashing themselves madly getting stuck, dying to get in closer to their death , it surrounds and suffocates those little things seeking their own dissolution. Men are in this regard much more tiny and futile. A man's beauty lies at the point of a singular point, powerful and destructive. We have only this. A woman is abundant, everything or nothing, . Swollen. Sickly Sweet. A shiny red apple is a great joy for the worm, which can only takes and eats and probes, and now it's gone. And that is of course only how a man views it, for him a temporary madness that dissolves itself. Male sexuality is suicidal, though indifferent, detached. A man can never give fully; he remains separated.
The paradox of contemporary female empowerment is that to be powerful in a visible sense--i.e in a political sense--women must evoke masculine elements. Female politicians like Merkel or Hillary Clinton cut their hair like men, wear masculine clothing, and speak in typical male mannerisms. In competing with men she must necessarily become like men, since on the debate stage power has to be met with equal open power. That is to say domination and destruction of the opponent using reason. And so feminine strategies here in the eyes of an audience are ineffectual.
The reality remains that masculinity is power, not in the sense of "patriarchy", but that the actual form of men is itself power. Raw power unreserved and independent.
There's power in feminity but the power is gained through the feigning of a lack of power. Women know intuitively how to play to mens' desire to feel useful, to get them to do things they themselves don't want to or can't do.
But this is not raw power; it is more sophisticated since it is the power which comes from the lack of simple power, and so plays into mens' inherent egoism.

Why do you think rejecting femininity means adopting masculinity. Femininity and masculinity is a sexual dichotomy placed on top of humanity. Femininity comes down to using a womb to reproduce, everything else is extraneous, so I guess just not reproducing would be a rejection of femininity

You're mistake is that you mistaking social ideas for true nature. A dress isn't inherently masculine or feminine, but it is flattering on a woman's body and unflattering on a man's. When a woman dresses in ways that cover up the elements of her that advertise her fertility (hips, breasts, shape) she is rejecting the sexual element (female) of her humanity, not donning masculinity. Masculinity isn't the default, humanity is.
Also just because Hillary clinton wears pantsuits doesn't mean she's dressed like a man.

>Why do you think rejecting femininity means adopting masculinity
Not what I said. A nun rejects her sexuality but is not in any way masculine. What I said is that a female politician mimics the powerful poses and mannerisms of a man. But that women can only mimic the appearance of men, they can never experience the full irrational driving destructiveness and egoism of which men are capable. The fact remains that women cannot rape--and this fact alone says everything.
>Femininity and masculinity is a sexual dichotomy placed on top of humanity.
Placed on top? Very strange wording, it is not placed onto anything the dichotomy is natural to humans and animals.
>Femininity comes down to using a womb to reproduce, everything else is extraneous, so I guess just not reproducing would be a rejection of femininity
Feminity is way more than using a womb. Ever seen the way a woman holds out her hand? Or laughs? Even simple things display it. A woman who doesn't reproduce remains a woman.
>You're mistake is that you mistaking social ideas for true nature
Our social ideas are not disconnected from nature. It has been observed again and again that women prefer a politics that is local, stable, and egalitarian. Among chimpanzees, female chimps have longer lasting, more stable relationships with other female chimps, whereas male chimps tend to have more instrumental relationships, and are more power seeking.
The lower male chimps band together against the most powerful male chimp, and the males try to win the collective support of the female chimps in their power struggles. The women have more collective power due to their social bonds which they use to try and control and limit the aggressiveness of the male chimps.
>A dress isn't inherently masculine or feminine,
I never said a dress is inherently feminine.
>When a woman dresses in ways that cover up the elements of her that advertise her fertility (hips, breasts, shape) she is rejecting the sexual element (female) of her
The distinction between men and women is so much more than just a difference in fashion. I don't know why you're reducing the difference to it.
And your wording here is revealing, that a female politician denies her sexuality--i.e as you say hides the elements that advertise "fertility"--but the same cannot be said of a male politician. Since the male sexual form is itself the powerful, public form.
>Also just because Hillary clinton wears pantsuits doesn't mean she's dressed like a man.
Pantsuits are made for women, but they're masculine in the sense that not only is a suit associated with men, but that a pantsuit is typically free from all ornamentation--is simple and functional. I.e Male.

When you talk about the lack of dynamism, the bigger issue becomes creating opportunities -- it's an accusation of impotence. Social media eats a lot of youthful fervor.

I'm starting a job soon at a park--a temporary seasonal job doing conservation work--and feel totally unprepared and scared. I'm worried mostly about the social aspect.
The days are slowly ticking by getting closer to the day I have to leave. And I worry a lot about my future these days. I don't know what I'm going to do afterwards.
I've been debating joining the navy after this job since I feel like I've run out of options, and need to make a big change and most of all need money. I'm afraid not only that I won't fit in, being a nerdy guy, but also reading the news about Taiwan the Navy suddenly seems a whole lot less of a safe option if China invades soon & the U.S decides to get involved.
I really feel like a failure, like I've just failed to measure up, and can't seem to fit in anywhere.
What talent I have is ineffectual or intellectual. To succeed in this world almost entirely falls down to one's social skill, and I just can't develop this aspect of myself. I remain flat, static, impassive, and devoid of personality. Like I've never really matured into a real adult, and still just waste my time with frivolous distractions whether social media, video games, or books.
Being around other normal people my age frightens and depresses me because it only makes me more aware of how much of a massive gulf there is between me and them.
There's something about missing normal development when your young that just stays with you and never goes away. No matter what I always feel like an outsider. Wherever I go I am trespassing. In a public space I feel watched, though this is only narcissism, and can only breathe freely once I find some corner free from all sight. When I walk past a stranger I feel intensely their gaze, I hold my breath in, and look down or to the side fearing accidently meeting the other person's eyes.
There is no place for me anywhere. I cannot make a space for myself. An awful feeling that has defined most of my life.
What youthful energy I have remains always restrained, repressed. I can never give it expression, like I'm trapped within myself always.
Time flies by me and I find I've wasted another day refreshing /lit/ over and over. Or even just reading for hours, which to me now feels like an equal waste.

I do agree that it eats youthful fervor but it’s also just like young people have nothing to do. It used to be 18-35 was the most important demographic in society. They were going places, doing things, participating in history, moving to this city, meeting that person, embarking on a passionate pursuit of painting or writing or whatever. Now, it’s just like everyone is shuffled off to college and then spends the rest of their 20s paying off debt in some shitty job while society has basically nothing for them to do. Look at our last two Presidents. We live in a genuine gerontocracy and it’s pervasive through business, media, art, everything. Teddy Roosevelt started his political career in his 20s as a State Assemblyman. Every assemblyman in my state today is over 40 without exception. I just think if you’re under 30 you’ve spent your entire life with this civilization having basically nothing for you to do, and in lieu of nothing to do you didn’t have the same opportunity to be dynamic. You couldn’t just pack your bags and head west, because you had debt or no savings or whatever. You couldn’t just move to New York and get a journalism job because New York is expensive and that’s not how jobs work now. About the only thing you could’ve done is join the army, which only dummies did.

It hasn’t been the norm. Roosevelt was the rule and not the exception. I’m also not talking about pre-paved here. I just mean that it seems like the world had a wider variety of things to do and well, actually had things to do. I just really feel like everyone today is shuffled off to college and then into an office career but often falter at one of those two and spend what’s left of their 20s trying to catch up. If they want to exit, and let’s say pick up a new job, move to a new place, it’s not as easy because of cost or credentials or whatever. Another example: in the 19th and most of the 20th century you didn’t even need a law degree to practice law. Today, it’s a mandatory requirement. That means that in the past someone could move out and become a frontier lawyer or at least just up and move to a new city and get involved with the scene there, today it’s 3 years of law school at least and there’s no scene to be involved with. I mentioned politics because this is the most visible because that’s one area that’s visible where there’s truly nothing for a young person to do. But to read the biographies of your favorite writers. They grew up in some town and then moved to this other place and then they got deployed in this war and then they came home and met this person and then they got this office and moved to this place. Lives aren’t like this now. They kind of stay where they’re at and just pursue a degree or a job.

Can any 'condition' allow for dynamism? I don't mean to be obtuse; it just seems to be a contradiction in terms. Present iterations of it will not replicate previous biographies, but that's part of the point. The dynamic shows up in the deviations; it cannot be controlled.

There are certainly conditions that allow dynamism to *not* be possible. You listed a great deal of current ones. But what would the reverse look like?

For your question -- is life more colorless for the youth now? -- I see "yes," but it's difficult to say conditions are the sum of the cause.

As for the lack of dynamism among young people, i think it's a combination of multiple things. Growing up between two crises--the great recession and now the pandemic--has made the zoomers risk averse and desire stability above all.
Secondly the youth have fully internalized the idea of "privilege" which has been taught to them and effectively pacified them. Basically young people have been led to feel guilty for what they have which keeps them from forcibly demanding more.
At the same time the increasing cost of housing means more and more young people are fully dependent on their parents well into their twenties.
Lastly the internet has made zoomers too self conscious and worried about image to ever risk doing anything too crazy. Cause if you do with phones today there's always the possibility of being recorded.
