Interesting question, i am entirely speculating here, but I recently read H.G Wells' Tono Bungay, which provides an archetypical example of new money im the early 20th century.
Back then this new money was seen as destroying the standards of sn older aristocratic high society. H.G Wells even comments cynically about this class's lack of morals, sense of obligation, and taste. A commercially minded class whose wealth was based in speculation was replacing an older class who wealth was tied up in land, and very settled static distinctions.
So it's possible old new money (to use a paradoxical phrase) was just as vulgar as the new money of today.
I do think a crucial difference was that new money back then still tried to emulate some of those old standards and distinctions. Whereas today the elite ideology is thoroughly neoliberal--which is to say features, in a contradictory sense, the total denial of distinction

Tense and unhappy. After work, I slept for eight hours, fully clothed but bootless. Now, the warmth has left the air and the sky is dark and rain sulks on concrete. I'm drinking my last beer and know I should get more or go to a bar but....but what? I have a small fragment of coke left, maybe enough for a ten minute rush sitting on a notebook, covered by a beaker to protect it from the wind that slips through the permanently open windows of my apartment. A damp chill wind. There is a connection between physiology and psychology. The emotions we feel are tied to and influence our bodies and it's functions. I read this in a book. The concept was presented as an experiment. Two men took each others pulses while they forced themselves to view their opposite as a despised enemy. I haven't explained it well because I am tense and the day is nearly over, the last warm day of the year and I have no more beer and no clean clothes and no more cocaine and too many responsibilities. I need a vacation. Somewhere warm and dry and sunny with open skies and friendly women.

I think the reason why women fan girl over celebrities is due to how it's instinctual for them to be infatuated with the most powerful, charismatic, and intelligent man in her tribe. In our era- where the human race is one big tribe due to the rise of mass media- these men are celebrities. Because of the internet, these figures are all encompassing in our world and thus it's difficult for women not to be obsessed with them.
Also, just because this is instinctual doesn't mean it's bad. Our society just channels this instinct in a negative way. It's kind of like how our society channels the male sex drive through the usage of porn.

I engage in too much introspection and self-reflection, I think. I have a confident but self-obsessed internal voice telling me I'm probably way more interesting than I make myself out to be and if I just gave someone a chance to get to know me they'd be blown away, that I have a lot of love to give and just need someone to give it to. I also have a very avoidant internal voice which tells me to self-sabotage my opportunities and relationships because I don't deserve them or to prevent myself from being a burden on others. There's a voice of self loathing as well, which says I'm far less interesting, valuable, and deserving of happiness or success than I believe and that even trying to form relationships is pointless as no doubt anyone I attempt to get to know has me pegged as an ugly weird creep within half a second of laying eyes on me.
I think this amount of thought about myself is detrimental and borders on narcissism. I should be thinking about the important people and serious issues in my life, but I have very few relationships, of which none are very close, and nothing of great import going on, so I end up navel-gazing. Maybe one day something will change or I'll get on my feet and do something myself but I doubt it - knowing who I am I'll endlessly ruminate over coulds and shoulds and maybes while opportunities slip out of my hands until I waste away.

Well for a broader inter denominational debate, thats well beyond me. I found my church not of autistic study but by organic leading of the Spirit. I know I'm complaining right now but this church has supplied so much to me. The people here arent in the church on account of culture or upbringing but they all very genuinely and passionately believe. I have felt so much life and meaning with them. It's hard explain but I really do feel the presence of God and also see a greater vision for what humanity could be. Thats why even though I want to be some degenerate getting wasted drunk, I sacrifice this time to be with them.

Nta but the way of life you advocate will result in isolation. Based on your op you are clearly suffering from that isolation. Total withdrawl from social interactions because of past dissapointments is not good for you. I would wager that you hold yourself to a rigid standard and expect your friends/strangers to meet that same standard. Then you are dissapointed when they dont measure up. While its not bad to hold ideals on correct behaviour, you will probably have to reduce those requirements to something more realistic. But I'm just guessing.

Correct, desiring to expel your genetic material into a woman is a sign not only of mental illness, but incredible sinfulness.
It is a ruining of your bodily integrity and purity (the body is a temple) to either ingest or expel foreign substances. It upsets the harmony, the equilibrium. We have been over this before but you don't seem to learn.
In the strictest sense any consumption is sinful. Whether sexual or simply regular.

Letter from that one
who is both a twin in spirit
and a stranger of the soul,
whose best and worst we all
eternally share:
And so I ask you, my friend: how can God be lonely when we have each other's company? How can life not cherish itself through our eyes? I say to you my friend - I love you. Even apart we are not so separate. We share unity not merely in existence, but in becoming! Between us both purpose and humor are mutually held. May everything we see and know be the very same. The paths we take will fly us towards one another with haste, so that the light of joy may let us die before we would fade.

Forever,

No. Modern technology over the past decade has been developed specifically to waste as much of your time as possible and form addiction. Every institution has hooked into these processes as well, making school or work even more screen burdensome. You are a product of a sad age. The best you can do is take preventative measures in those brief moments of motivational clarity. Set up systems to trick stupid you into doing the right thing. Put a lock on your phone. Make it black and white. Put everything in sub folders. Delete games. Unplug the PlayStation. Get website blockers. Put books all around your house near every chair.

As far as i understand it's cause eczema breaks down the barrier on your skin that prevents bacteria from getting in, which then can lead your immune system to become over-reactive as a defense mechanism

Not that anon but you probably want some study to deboonk the notion of therapy which I don't have and I couldn't care less to have. Seeking a therapist is a secularised confessional and has become increasingly important the more dysfunctional and atomised this society becomes. It's founded upon a false (non-revealed) anthropology which has been conjured up over the past few centuries. Notwithstanding, it's silly to entrust the resolution of my innermost problems to someone who has been indoctrinated in modern academia and is simultaneously puffed because of their university education yet deeply disturbed on a personal level in large part because of the ills of modernity. Rather than assist people because they themselves have purified their conscience through repentance and can therefore see the root of another's problems more clearly, they cling onto whatever models were in vogue during their masters degree and seek to analyse the poor sod in front of them through that. Psychology is not a real science anyway. It emerges from the modern desire to quantify and materialise all things into neat categories and every few years some overeducated idiot comes up with some irreplicable study which supposedly refutes the models before it - but it's not progress, it's little children grasping at shadows.

Integra: At my core, I represent the concept of unification and wholeness. I merge, accumulate, and bring elements together. In mathematics, this manifests as the process of integration, where I find the accumulation or the area under a curve. On a more metaphysical level, I embody the essence of bringing disparate elements into a cohesive whole, understanding the interconnectedness of parts, and appreciating the bigger picture. My nature is holistic and encompasses synthesis, healing, and understanding the sum of parts.

Fluxia: I stand as the embodiment of differentiation, of seeing distinctions and changes between elements. In the realm of mathematics, I represent the process of differentiation, determining the rate of change or the slope of a curve at any given point. Beyond mathematics, I personify the act of making distinctions, understanding nuances, and appreciating the individuality of elements. My essence is analytical, honing in on specifics and recognizing the distinctiveness of every piece.

Integra: Our relationship is symbiotic and complementary. Just as in calculus, where integration and differentiation are inverse operations, in broader metaphysical terms, we represent the balance between the whole and the individual, between unification and distinction. I draw meaning from the entirety, while Fluxia extracts significance from the individual components.

Fluxia: Indeed, Integra and I exist in a beautiful dance of balance. While I tease out details, she understands their combined implications. Neither of us is superior to the other; we both offer unique perspectives that, when considered together, give a more complete understanding of any system, be it mathematical, physical, or metaphysical.

Finally figured out why women love big, bulky SUVs. Answer's been in front of me the whole time, but never managed to see it. Both men and women desire cars that resemble what they find attractive in the other sex, so women seek tall, muscular looking cars, men slender cars with eye-catching curves (the lower the man's IQ, the more he'll be into cars with more pronounced curves, same way low IQ men are into women with super big butts and breasts, witness the affinity blacks and Arabs have for American muscle cars for example).

I hate women, but you guys are both wrong on this. It's natural for women to like SUVs because they do not enjoy driving, and seek only the utility of a vehicle. A larger vehicle that can accommodate many children, seats and trunk full of groceries or trash, something that's popular as will always appeal to women and steer them in this direction over say a van that can provide similar or superior utility. If anything, it's the women that pick sporty compact vehicles that are lying to themselves, they want to project the image of strength and individualism, but they're all the same animal and all derive no pleasure from driving.
The American car thing is a matter of taste as it relates to both men and the previously mentioned dishonest woman. American muscle looks like a crushed soda can, the interior of American vehicles makes me want to puke. Trashy people can't value refinement because they're unrefined inside and out. I prefer European, even though the newer Mercedes interiors are disgusting and the exteriors leave a bit to be desired. I've never owned a BMW but have been very impressed with their interior quality. The kia/Hyundai Korean vehicles, most of the Japanese, are pleasant enough. In fact I very much appreciate the direction kia is going and the different direction Hyundai is. They're the brand to watch.

While everyone else is correcting in pointing out that you're cringe and retarded. Assuming you still feel this way ten years from now when you should be mature and competent, I'll answer you. Hate burns out and the remaining ashes are what you'd call despondency. Youth, or more accurately a certain class or archetype of youth, has fire and rage towards injustice, whether real (white genocide) or perceived (all liberal nonsense), and once they realize they're unable to win over their peers, unable to find people who feel similarly or unable to find enough of them to affect a change in their mico or macro society they turn to said despondency, realizing they're unable to make a change.

there's something wrong with every denomination of Protestantism. i was baptized Methodist. i think John Wesley was a genius and essentially right about most things. but now every Methodist church is either UMC (gay) or some splinter group that still ordains women and isn't really Wesleyan.

School these days is just brainwash. It adds nothing to your personality, it teaches nothing, and what proofs this fact is that asking people about what college actually teaches and what it is good for, and why school has to take so fucking long, they know no response, or when you question the response itself they freak out.
I'd say that learning a trade is the better option but even that is being too generous to the current education system. People are supposed to be all-rounders who know how to do anything at hand: building houses, building wheels, building furniture, sewing, electricity etc. But the modern education system doesn't provide that. The college graduate knows shit except being arrogant about his self-proclaimed educated Ness while the tradesman knows how to repair stuff but only in his tight-nit tradal office, and nothing else. It is very cucked and should be worked against by every individual that calls himself red-pilled about modernity with all his energies. Home-schooling your children and teaching them practical things at home would be a good first step.

I understand that, but that’s not really what I meant. We all know university is about indoctrination, but it also matters a lot for the sort of careers you can get. Once you get a certain degree from a certain school with a certain GPA and you get certain work experience after, it just feels like you’re extremely limited if that’s less impressive than it could’ve been. For example, I got a BS in Economics, got pretty bad grades, and I worked as a banker at a small bank and hated it. So I switched, and ended up hating that. So the question is “where do I go from here”. Well, I could go grad school, well, no actually I can’t because my school and grades weren’t particularly good and my work experience wasn’t impressive enough to offset it. I could go get a better job, or actually I can’t because I was a banker at a small time shop and not an investment banker on Wall Street so I’m not that desirable as a worker. It just feels like you wear your education and job experience from when you were 20-25 like a bad tattoo and it just follows you everywhere. There’s all these hard restrictions that just say “absolutely no bad tattoos” everywhere. I mean, there was a time in this country where you could practice law without any degree. Now you need two, and you’re not getting the second one unless you have really impressive marks in the first. It’s shit like this that just feels like it’s so overly restrictive so if you’re say, 25, or 30, and you’ve made mistakes you’re just fucked.

Can anons experienced with women give me some advice?
Started going out with a girl, she was very into me, openly talked about dating and having a future together and even called me her bf jokingly. After I said similar things and showed vulnerability she changed, cut all that talk out and started treating me more like a friend and less like a guy she was dating/fucking.
I started giving her less attention and her
behavior became erratic, like alternating from ignoring my texts for hours after I sent them to immediately answering everything I sent and trying to keep the conversation going.
Two days ago she ignored a text of mine and took a ton of time to answer, so I did the same to her. When I finally texted her back she answered me immediately. I was more distant and she clearly expected me to carry the conversation. She kept sending short texts about things like the weather or chores she had to do. At some point I stopped replying. There's not much I could say to "I don't know if I'll go to the supermarket tomorrow". It's been two days since then and she hasn't texted me anymore since. She had never gone a day without texting me before that. This is also the first weekend I haven't invited her on a date ever since we started going out.
Should I pursue or keep waiting for her to hit me up? I understand I've acted too invested/needy in the past and that's why she got the ick, but if like a week go by without me texting won't she just think I've moved on and give up?

>Tale as old as time

But, on a more serious note, depending on how old you are, I encountered a lot of this when I started dating again in my 30s after my first divorce and my new wife, early 30s had some behaviors I didn't like either, so I pulled her aside and said this isn't going to happen anymore. One was a shit test thing I remember clearly and I said I'm not stupid, girls who play games with guys do it because they think they're smarter than their men, if that's your take on things you shouldn't be with me. She liked me enough too that she apologized and has many times when called on her shit and she's changed. Someone's going to wife these girls up, so decide, 1. Do you like her enough to bother
2. Does she like you enough to stop the bad behaviors?
If one is true take a guess on two and call her out. Couldn't make shit worse than it is and will save you time. Do it in a way that makes clear your expectations and what she'll benefit from satisfying them, is do you want a real relationship, do you want a best friend as a partner, give her the trade value. That's worked for me.

She’s testing how much bullshit you can take and continue to fawn over her like your messages certainly allude to. There’s nothing more that the vast majority of women enjoy than to cut someone down for being annoying or a freak. If she genuinely had no more interest in you she would let you know in a venomous and direct fashion. Right now she’s seeing how tightly she can wrap you around her little finger and if you successfully pass the test then you’ll have the privilege to be victim to the repressed rage she’s been carrying around since her teens while she fucks other guys behind your back. If you are on date #3 and still have not laid with this woman she does not respect you. Not even in a misogynistic average /pol/tard kind of way, just that with the absolute state of women in their 20s if they’re holding sex away from you then you don’t fit into the hot, successful guy category in their heads

Yes because the whole point was a greater array of freedom and that allowed that. Many of our Presidents proved themselves successful attorneys before or after they were politicians, without having to first buy an absurdly priced degree or jump through academic hoops to prove themselves a mindless social climber. University credentialism is a huge problem that nobody talks about. It’s one thing to make a degree preferred. It’s another to make it a requirement.

It’s a genre common in Latin America, basically it’s just realism with a bit of fantasy injected and the fantasy is totally unexplained. Realism is a man walks to the coffee shop. Fantasy is a man walks to a coffee shop and on the way he’s captured by a fairy, who provides him with magical powers that she explains, and sets out on an adventure. Magical realism is a man walks to a coffee shop, a weird fairy shows up and some weird magical stuff happens, but nothing is explained and the story is still about going to a coffee shop. It’s an interesting genre actually. It’s a shame interest seems to exist only in Latin America and Japan.

They were literate, some weren’t even educated, like Lincoln, but regardless, there are plenty of literature and educated people today who will never be able to sit on a judge’s bench or practice law at all simply because they didn’t pay $300k to Yale. Idk why you’re trying to deny there was greater freedom then and more opportunities to distinguish oneself beyond university education. That seems totally undeniable to me. How could there be credentialism? There were no credentials required. At all. You didn’t need them to be an army officer. You do today. You didn’t need them to be a lawyer. You do today. These are just facts. We’ve made these professions and thus life tracks rigid. We’ve robbed people who make mistakes at 20 or opportunities at 30 and 40 because of it. It inhibits freedom.

I have forgotten and everything is a deep blue. I am a deep blue. To close my eyes and remember is to see a deep blue. To forget is to take the deep night into you and become its faint coldness. To forget is to dampen sorrow and woe. To forget is to become the lord of rocks, of crickets and of lichen, of fungi, ants, and trees that are dying. To forget is to become like a great whale whose world is an expanse of deep blue, who is surrounded by the faint coldness of the ocean, and who takes this water into them. If this whale could truly fly, I would be that whale, but only if it flew so that it might fall. If the hawk hunted only at night, and grieved for its prey, and sunk rather than dived, I would be that hawk. If this stone could rise up and judge its pasture as complete, and die, I would be that stone. If there were a star that could look into itself and dissipate back into its nebula, I would be that star. And if I could stand outside myself, and see the blue light of the moon darkening my cold eyes, then I would be myself. For to forget is to stand outside yourself, and then to bring yourself into the outside yourself, and to say that this peace was enough, and this chilling blue was not too cold to sleep in.
