I'm more worried about my lack of productivity. The modern internet is basically just porn, in that it's spaffing your time into a tissue and throwing it away. Even the "wow, look at all this information" isn't really all its cracked up to be, in comparison to just going to a library and browsing books.

Morality is the protection of beauty in spite of conditions. Life is war. A split second of indecision can result in an eternity of punishment, you must rush forward into every encounter, defend the beauty of the world with all your might and never recoil at any posturing. See every engagement as an opportunity to better yourself, a moment of growth, where through your bruises you grow larger, your scars forming an armor, and the exhaustion of energy to win the battle strengthening you, enforcing the very bones holding you upright with a sturdy spiritual foundation, a yoke, an aura, of divine providence which shields you from bullets and shrapnel.

So basically the nature of original sin means that humans have fundamentally set themselves up for failute on an instrinic level: They literally cannot stop sinning and WILL sin in the future and throughout the ages. YOU will sin. The question now is what are you going to do about it?

The choices are to either follow Jesus who offers people the choice to break this sin cycle + be rewarded heaven afterwards, or to reject him and say sins are not really sins, essentially just accepting moral degeneracy (futile attempt of heaven on earth) + hell afterwards. Oh, and then there are also those who thinks they can combat sin on their own or think it can be done without Christ, a foolish and doomed notion, the root of many secular systems and frameworks as it hinges on either materialistic goals or some false sense of humans being inherently good in the absence of sin concept (they're not).

Pretty bleak stuff. People really have set themselves up for failure, but I suppose heaven wouldn't be much of a reward if it was easy, or great moral courage worthy if it was the norm. It really is as it is said in Matthew 7:

13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is easy, that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard, that leads to life, and those who find it are few."

Original sin doesn’t necessarily mean that you will sin into perpetuity if you ask me. It does in so far as you remain fallen man but in a sense our task is to overcome our fallen state, which of course has to be possible. You even admit that through Christ, the cycle can be broken. I don’t see what’s so bleak about that.

I think Tolkien’s little essay on the eucatastrophe is a great aid in understanding how Christ’s incarnation is something positive and not negative because he brought with him for the first time the possibilities of freedom, redemption, and overcoming death itself. I don’t think that’s bleak. A Christian should almost consider life after Christ a wonderful gift.

Frederick slowly sauntered into the smoke filled night club in a jostled stride panning his cracked window eyes over the crowded velvety room, stopping at the hunched piano player and then fixing themselves forward to aide him as he walked towards the center. The key modulated from A to Dminor and the general ruckus of laugher remained violently loud, with only the slightest responding dampening. As he made his way across the burgundy, carpeted floor to the small descending step right before the pit his eyes moved from the tall thin faced man leaning slightly sideways on the lefthand side of the guiding handrail to the girls at the table just to the right of that small opening down to the pit. They were entirely drawn to one beautiful and bejeweled shrine in the center, all seemed to worship what he already felt himself drawn to like a lost child before the lights shining in the valley below when he looks down from the mountain he’s forced to by a primordial fear of death to be crossing.

She was quite pretty. Well, to be frank goddamn beautiful. She glowed a little. Her hat lowered slightly to obscure a 30% of the top right corner of her face, but every other angle of cheekbone and softness of lips inferred a perfectionist sculptor, if she was indeed sculpted. She laughed unlike any statue Fred had ever seen, and though not actually louder than the others, her small tenor pierced the thick and terrible cacophony of her friend’s inferior tongues, who felt no due shame in piling their shabby work together. Frederick straightened his jacket and slowly walked up.

-Hey there, what's your name?
-Frederick.
-Nice.
Her voice was a a quiet high only ascending and descending slightly around the alluring note.
-Awwh he’s cute.
-He is.
-Thank you.
-Well take a seat handsome.
Frederick took a seat on the lighted cube around the kidney coffee before us all seated.
-How are you doing maddamn.
Leaning forward he wathed her eyes go to the ground and back at him while moving the edge of her tongue ever so slightly against her plump red lips.
She had great titties too, they bounced a little when she laughed.

>They literally cannot stop sinning
That's not what original sin is. The original sin is how we gained knowledge of right and wrong, and also the wages of sin (toiling, pain, death, uncomfiness)
It's how humans could begin to sin: before they had something close to an insanity defense, like they had no idea being naked in public might be a sexual offense.
Once you reach the age of reason, about six or seven, you know damn well that hitting your brother and lying about it is mean, and what you do with that knowledge determines whether you're a mean kid or not.
Unification with god comes from listening to the grace granted to humans which allows us to do good with the information technology we stole from the tree, instead of going all dark hat and deciding to use your knowledge of right and wrong to fuck people over. People who don't want to be united with God's grace chose to ignore they know better, and do you really they're going to enjoy heaven when it's 24/7 yay helping people and being nice week! They'd probably prefer the blackness, the darkness, forever. They are rare though. Most people don't want the pain of ignoring conscience, and so follow it instead of repressing its twinges.

Had a strange vivid dream.
I was on vacation with my family and our long time family friend.
I was in a hotel room sleeping and my father suddenly burst out of a container only in his underwear, noticed that I noticed him and turned extremely red in the face "oh I didn't realise you were awake"
The 2nd part of my dream was equallu strange. First i was at a Wal-Mart and for some reason there were open showers at this walmart and people and families showering. I tried to shower ignoring the people.
Next I was suddenly in a whorehouse talking to a prostitute, a beautiful chubby latina
She seemed hesitant but agreed to have sex with me. I went into a bedroom waiting for her but instead a small latina came in her place
We talked and she said I had to follow her.
We arrive at her house and for some reason she lives with what look like a bunch of male gamers that are all staring at me intently as we walk to her bedroom. I randomly pat one on the shoulder; he doesn't react.
Next the details are funny but as i was walking out I suddenly realize the entire thing was a setup and she stole my key which was somehow the key to a vault in Bank of America and i had to get it back
The last part i don't remember but i somehow get the key back

I've brn waiting for months to hear back from a short story competition I had prepared for for nearly 3 years. There's a lot of blood and sweat in stake for me in this. I'm so anxious that I might actually puke. I should hear word by the end of next month. God help me.

The last time I remember feeling something similar is the summer 2017. Had a great vibe going with a hot chick before summer break. After e went home, I lost a lot of fat in the hopes I would get healthy and also get the chick. I can strictly remember this feeling I got every night that summer of whimsical lightness, of potential love. T used to make me dizzy before bed thinking of what could be when I've worked so hard and so long for something. After summer ended, back to college, and I learn she got a boyfriend lmao.

No one would ever talk about Jews if we sort out the false property market and replace churches with real community centers.

People wouldn’t give a shit about Christians if Christians weren’t so invasive.
We’re here to think about girls, and Dresden queens. We have our own culture thanks.

Christian invasiveness on all counts fails the “do unto others as you’d have done unto yourself.” Besides everyone says “do unto others as you’d have done unto yourself” in their own way.

Yin-yang is way older than Christianity. Christianity is a thinly veiled oppressive hypocritical foreign invasion.

Honestly though, I regret more spending my years afterwards trying to fix it. I ended up getting a job at my Alma mater so I could get tuition discounts to take classes to fix my gpa and do a masters there. In the end, I have nothing to show but a took too long degree, and some work experience in a shitty job at that same college, and halfway through a shitty master’s degree. What kind of career is that? I’ve basically done nothing. People should do well and go off to do real things and if you fuck it up, just find your niche, don’t try to fix it.

Yeah I'm trying to go officer, I've got 2-3 recc letters but it's been difficult to get because I was a total loner/loser during college. I have one so far and today I got another to agree to write me one.
My college grades are good but i was an extreme loner, COVID didn't help. Halfway through everything went online so even if I wanted to the last 2 years it wasn't really possible to make connections.
Not really sure about the military, but I figure it's better to try and fail, then to not try at all. Can't be any worse than what I have already experienced. I went homeless for like 3 months after a made a mess of things at my last job which was an Americorps gigs in this shithole small town
My life so far feels like a series of rejections and failures.

I can sympathize. I was where you are when I was 24. I even wanted to join the army and everything. My only advice is to say that the army isn’t a bad call, I think, and that using your GI bill to upgrade to a really solid school for a law degree or doctorate or something is probably not a bad idea. Barring that, you’re going to want to think long and hard about what you want to do with your life and what sort of background you’ll need for that and then go do that. But in the meantime some academic and military cred would be good. That’s basically what I wish I did.

Dude, the Ivies are extremely overrepresented among those people first of all, and that only becomes more and more the case every year. Those days where you could go to a state school and ride from the bottom of a corporation to become CEO also seem over. The CEOs are all former consultants from McKinsey with Ivy degrees. More important though than what school you go to, is how you do there and what you do for the 5 years or so after you leave. That’s what matters and it’s merely that your school had a big effect on that. In my case, I fucked things up badly by graduating at too old an age, and then had a shitty lame career after graduating. That kind of pedigree doesn’t get you far in life. It’s a hard reality to confront but it does seem true. As much as I would like to think the sky is the limit that just doesn’t seem to be what is actually happening for people.

Anon:
Mine own dread, alas, halters not such a possibility.

Anon's mind:
Henceforth, dost thou pledge thine intent to courting her on the morrow?

Oh, pray tell! What's the cause of thine hesitation? Our losses art nonexistent and her heart may perchance tilt in our favour. Dost thou not harbour affection for her?

Anon:
Indeed, yet the burden of action thou thrust upon me is too great. Even if her affections mirror mine, wherefore shall it lead?

Anon's mind:
Then pray, what's the purpose of such yearning?

Anon:
Methinks I'd find solace in unrequited love. 'Tis simpler to exist in solitary with thee as my companion.

Nay! Such a life, I cannot bear. 'Twould be mine undoing!

Those CEOs are also cucks to the highest degree. They've basically paid millions to get where they are. It's the same as selling yourself to slavery with the promise to one day become a king.
> That’s what matters and it’s merely that your school had a big effect on that.
Nothing matters, besides being a self-confident, masculine, strong man who does not doubt a single second in his coldness of reason and his rectitude of judgment. Not only will people respect you by default if you add an ounce of true and gallant character to that, literally everything you wish will become possible to you. That's how Jacob became the upmost financial minister of Egypt.
> As much as I would like to think the sky is the limit that just doesn’t seem to be what is actually happening for people.
You would have spent your college time better with dropping out and learning some hard labour like stone cutting or masoning. Those are the jobs that earn you self-respect. After that you proceed with buying a real estate in the mountains for 15 biggies and building a farm. The next step is to join the army and when you get out of there as a general you have everything necessary to make the plebs feel the floor they sweep on their cheeks. Everything else is a bullshit lie to turn you into a pleb and if in the past college degrees were valuable at all it's because people got all the other things I listed by default.

I err on the side of hating the enlightenment but after reading some Kant it's hard to say that we're really in an era of Enlightenment. Most people really do just "speak not and obey!" They don't bother with thinking for themselves. Almost no-one has the courage to use their own reason, and some of this stuff that is taken for granted as true on 4chan (even the /leftypol/ retards cannot completely accept every popular leftist narrative without looking literally insane) is a result, quite literally, of using ones own reason (Enlightenment).

Well I've been dating my girlfriend for 5 years. I'm desperate to be around people because it feels like something I ought to do, but I find it exhausting and very quickly I go to a weird quiet place. My girlfriend is probably autistic and our relationship is very mechanical. I bought her flowers today because I couldnt see her on valentines day and that's what ought to be done. Taking her to a nice resturaunt in a couple minutes. I think I love her but I definitely started dating her because I wanted someone to cook and clean for me. I'm saving up money for an engagement ring because it feels like the most logical thing to do, though I dont feel like overwhelming passionate love. I understand people on a mechanical level, which is functional, but I feel as if I'm utilitarian and cant trust anyone beyond the usefulness I identified within them. That isnt to say I'm a bad boyfriend, I'd never cheat, I always listen and I never forget a significant event, but I know it's not quite normal and I think anyone but her would be disgusted with how I feel. She's honestly amazing, doesnt play games, doesnt shit test me, but me being angry really effects her so I'm glad I'm not breaking fridges and fighting strangers in traffic anymore.

I dont day dream anymore. I used to have wild fantasies about revenge and murder and eating my enemies, but it's been 3ish years since I've been medicated so things are a little blurry. I always connect the dots in insane ways, or used to at least. Like someone said something offhand and I'd conflate it with a personal attack and an elaborate conspiracy of why everyone hates me. I have two friends, which I feel is plenty, one that I rent from who's probably a sociopath, and another who's disabled and we play mtg together.

Idk. I’ve been to a NYC a few times over the last few years and it’s just not the same as it was when I was young. It’s just worse in everywhere, and more expensive. Somehow the election of Eric Adams feels almost symbolic like the election of Barack Obama. I don’t even mean that in a racist polemic sort of way. I just think it’s significant.

But yeah, I don’t know. I actually got a job at my Alma Mater and moved back there. It sucks. Huge mistake. I would not recommend it. You should only ever go back to your Alma Mater when you’re old as a professor, and to other college towns never.

If the former, that's great and you should start seeking some form of outside help (the reason I say this is because it's probably not going to come from within).

I see. I misinterpreted your issue.
Then there isn't anything you can do besides reinvigorate your sense of meaning (I differentiate this from "finding a purpose," because if you don't care then the purpose will be meaningless). Usually this occurs through relation to people or communities, but you have major interpersonal issues so that isn't realistic. That leaves your only options being therapy or hoping something will magically change. Since you are doing really well you should be able to afford it, but if you have tried it and it didn't work you'll have to wait an indefinite period of time.

I think Gobinism perfectly combines aristocratic ideas with democracy. In any way the book is recommendable to anyone who seeks a basic but profound comprehension on human history as a whole, and to how European imperialism still radiates into current world politics events to this day, by how it explains, what I assume was the common view of European imperialists in that era, how they considered the non-Europeans governments of that time to be criminal, without precisely condemning them for being undemocratic, a nuance wich differentiates modern US imperialism with 19th Century European imperialism, and we must see the Count as a European imperialist, for he was ambassador of French foreign affairs and traveled internationally for his job. I think the following quote perfectly summarizes the vision of a legal state that is not perfectly democratic.
> "Yes," said the Hindu Arian, or Sarmatian, or Greek, or Persian, or Mede, and even the Celt, "yes, fatherly authority is the type of political government; but it is nevertheless by fiction that the two facts are brought together." A head of State is not a father: he has neither the affections nor the interests. While a family head wants only very-difficultly, and by some sort of reversal of natural laws, [...]
Pgs 271
> [...] the illness of his offspring, it may well be that the prince, without even being guilty, directs the tendencies of the community in a way too damaging to the particular needs of each one, and therefore the worth of the Aryan man, his dignity is compromised; it does not exist, the moreso, the Arian is no longer himself: he is no longer a man. This is the reasoning by which the white warrior simply stopped the development of patriarchal theory, and, consequently, we have seen the first kings of the Hindu states as merely elected magistrates, fathers of their subjects in a very restricted sense and with a heavily guarded authority. Later, the rajah gained strength. This change in the nature of his power came about only when he commanded far less Arians than mestizos and blacks, and he had the less free hand as he wanted to use his sceptre on whiter subjects. The political sentiment of the Aryan race is therefore not absolutely repulsed by patriarchal fiction alone, it only comments on it in a cautious manner.

But to be clear, I am using schizo as a figure of speech. I disagreed with the psychiatrist that gave me the schizotypal diagnosis because some of the traits are ridiculously far removed from me, and my therapist argued that with him. I don't dispute that I have strange beliefs (compared to normal people) and a reduced interest in friendship, so when I say schizo I generally base it on my being very odd in comparison with the average person.

>That being said, what is your type in a woman?
That question admits of infinite complexity, so I couldn't give an accurate answer if I tried.
If I were to give an answer, it would just be a woman that is intelligent, free-thinking, shares at least some of my interests, and most importantly accepts me for who I am. The problem is that "accepts me for who I am" entails quite a lot, but that's not important here.
My 'most serious answer' is odd, but I want someone that would cause me great harm. No, I would absolutely love a terrible woman— a woman that would hurl pains thousandfold upon me, who would dissect every character flaw, and use each one as a means of tormenting me to the greatest extent imaginable. I have not had such an enticing thought in my life, as a matter of fact. It is solely in this way that I could feel truly comfortable with the relationship, no, I daresay I would feel as if I deserved the relationship! Yes, deserved it! And I do mean this in two ways, as you could probably guess; firstly, if I am being harmed, and the relationship is little good, it would be hard for me to not deserve a pile of dirt. Secondly, in the sense that all of the pains or troubles I cause would be repaid doubly, triply, or a hundred times over, and this being my deserved punishment. Additionally, I could serve some use to a vicious woman, because if she is entertained by this process, then I rendered some service. But there is a greater benefit to this: In order for a woman to be truly awful, in order for her to cause me the greatest harm, she must sincerely understand me. Yes, she must understand me to exploit my weaknesses! And that desire for understanding is reached by a means other than love. And now you see the benefit of this arrangement— a relationship where there is no fear of rejection (this by the relationship being founded upon it, so the great calamity has passed), a satisfaction knowing that a woman that cares little for me will not be harmed by my problems, and that she will be honest and forthright with my flaws, and that I will not have to fear that I am being judged for these flaws in secret (as it will be very open indeed!).
All of my hopeless and deluded romanticism of true love could not hope to overmaster this practical desire for a real solution.

But in all seriousness (although the above was serious to a surprising degree!), love is mysterious and known by experience, so I wouldn't know until it's "too late." In my mind she would be someone that shares my essential values, understands me (at least to some degree), and shares enough interests that if we weren't lovers we could be friends.

And if a smokin’-hawt sinobabe crushed your edifice of lies beneath her sexy metallic heal, you would flee in panish from broken doors and glass-fanged windowframes. And while you fled in shrieking panic the ruined building with blood dripping from your ears, a dusky-skinned yet buxom total babe from Puerto Rico painted green and carrying an awesomesauce space-gun would blast you in your private parts.

I had a dream last night and in the dream, I was sitting next a woman on the bus and she was crying, I can't remember if I asked her what was wrong or if she just told me out of nowhere but she told me that her son died in a car crash. She asked me to hold her hand so I held it by the fingers like you would if you were gonna kiss the top of a woman's hand, I rubbed the top of her fingers with my thumb and I said "I'm so sorry to hear that". It felt nice, I don't know why it felt so good to comfort someone.

Never tell the truth to anyone. Lesson learned.

Parents asked if I'm not ashamed of myself, told them if they must know if it will make them feel better I think of killing myself every day. Now it's awkward when I see them upon leaving my room and I've overheard them talking to their therapist friend about me.

that small area you're talking about is what ends up on your foveas, small points in your retinas with a very high concentration of cones compared to the rest of the retina, which is populated by a lot more rods
that's pretty convenient because rods are no less sensitive than cones to movement but they're a lot more sensitive to light since their area that's exposed to light is much bigger than in cones, though that has the drawback of, you guessed it, a lower ability to discriminate fine details
anyway, the reason why all that's convenient is it allows you to see fairly well in the dark (but you lose a lot vmof visual acuity) and you can see movement in the corner of your eye without the need for enough brain power to give you the perception of fine details over your whole visual field, which wouldn't even be very useful since you can just move your point of regard to wherever
there are, of course, individual differences in how many cones relative to rods people have in different regions of their retinas, but, as a general rule, the peripheral field of vision isn't high resolution enough for reading, and this can't be improved significantly because it's a physical limitation of your eyes rather than a cognitive limitation of your brain

I don't really discuss my problems with anyone because I don't see the point.
If I did, these are the possible scenarios I contemplate:
>They don't care
Pretty self explanatory, waste of time
>They do care
Most likely will hurt them, or make them worry about you. No one is going to fix my problems. At "best" you'll get pity or sympathy, maybe they will open up too turning in more negativity.
>They do care, but not for good a reason
They use your feelings against you.

I'm afraid of art going even more downhill ever since the announcement of Sora from OpenAI. Art is dying because AI is lowering people's standards of what's good and because of that, they're becoming too lazy to make high-quality stuff anymore. AI won't ever be able to achieve a person's full vision in its current form and I doubt it ever will, yet people will just generate some random pic of the thing they want and they'll just settle for "good enough", without fully achieving what it's supposed to be. It's getting pretty sad honestly and I don't want the internet and every single piece of media to get oversaturated with AI garbage.

I think the degree to which businessmen participate in politics is America is an unmitigated disaster and to blame for many of the political missteps over the last century. The GOP in particular liked to imagine that wealthy business owners are the closest modern analogue to the old gentry-aristocracy, but they’re not. They’re not the same people, not the same type of people, they have none of the same interests, tastes, preferences, or manners of thought. The absence of a genuine aristocracy is devastating. In Europe, even though what’s left of the old aristocracy is largely apolitical, they “get it” more than the wealthy business class underneath them gets it and due to their history, the business class apes them to a huge degree. But in America, these people are just left to run amok. It’s basically a giant corporation of businessmen and their private lawyers sitting in legislatures. It’s nuts.

How are Americans coping with the fact that boomers destroyed their country, sold their futures, and endured that the future for them looks like a failed European colony in the Americas like what South Africa is to Africa?
