1) Some questions are impossible to answer. Obsessing over them leads to suicide or the asylum. Hence one must educate oneself in philosophy rigoriously, just to be able to take things slowly and rationally.
2) Being a good artist certainly doesn't mean being a good person or a happy person. Thus "art for art's sake" is art, but it is not good art.

My grandpa once got a little drunk and we talked.

He told me that the biggest secret to sex is to forget about pleasing the girl. Just do what you enjoy on her body. You want to kiss her? Kiss her. Suck on her breasts? Do it. When you feel like plunging inside her, do it. Do not concern yourself with what she likes or not. Just enjoy her body selfishly.

Ever since I started doing that, I started enjoying sex. And I do get complimented that "i'm good at bed" but in truth, all I do is have fun with someone else's body.

It's eerie.

Can someone give me Advice?

I'm a high school senior from a small town in Kansas.It's really small. I've been there all my life and I'm on a first name bases with everyone in my high school. There are only 21 people in my class. I'm pretty sheltered. My dad's a NC programmer and can afford to pay for my college in full. I scored a 32 overall on My ACT, and my GPA is a little above a 3.8. He and my mom want me to go to college in math, physics, or engineering. I'm pretty good at math and science, and they think i could really set up a good life for myself.

This last summer i got a job working for a guy putting up fences, mowing watersheds, and taking out tree lines. I worked long hours and earned just over $3000. I (with lots of help from my dad) used it to by a mutual fund that earned 34% in this last quarter. Before i got that job i thought i had it all figured out. I was going to go to KU, major in engineering physics, and try and get a good paying job and settle down. That job changed me. All my life I've been around people my age. With that job i got to drive around and meet people (mostly older, farmer guys) and i was amazed at how little i knew, how much they knew, and how much i had been oblivious to even in my local four-county area. Most of all i realized i didn't have a damn idea about real life.

Sure I'm good at STEM stuff (34 math, 35 science on ACT) but i didn't see it as anything that would make me happy. This past year I've also picked up writing, as well as trying to read as many classics as i can. I've written 3 ~50,000 word novellas this past year, along with about ~100,000 words in short stories and unfinished other novels.I try to write 1,000 words and read fifty pages each day. But i don't know if it's my passion, or that i'm good enough to make a living from it. I recently read Moby Dick and i became envious on how much Melville got to travel around and meet new people. I don't think college will give me that. It's going to again put me around people my age who are probably as clueless and stupid to the real world as I am.

In truth I'd like to graduate high school and travel the world. Go to Europe, Mexico, South America, or anywhere else where i don't know anyone and can learn from those who have lived life. I want to put myself in a situation where things aren't going to work out, something that will knock me on my ass so i can get back up a better man. I feel like I'm living in a bubble, and as soon as i leave it i won't know what the hell I'm doing. I want to go out and find out who i am, learn practical skills, and find something I love doing. Once i figure that out I'll go to college if i need to.

I'm fluent in Spanish, and I'm picking up German pretty well, so i think i'll be able to pick up the local language no matter where i go with some effort and Rosetta Stone.

My dad worked as a machinist at seventeen, went to college at night , worked 45 hours a week and went to school 21 hours a week and would play in his band every Friday and Saturday night for 12 years. He basically worked his ass off to get where he is today. I'm afraid he and my family will see me as a failure and not approve of what i do. I feel guilty that my dad worked his ass off for me, has always been there for me, is willing to pay for my education, and I'm just gonna seem like I'm throwing it all in his face by saying fuck college and going out to see the world. But i think at 18 or 22 i won't know myself well enough. I think if i go to college now it will interfere with what i want to do later down the road. This is all coming up quick and i feel like i'm so ill prepared with what i know about myself that no matter what i do I'll end up in a situation that i don't what to be in.

I tell my friends and teachers, when they ask me what i want to do, that i want to move down to Mexico and become a fisherman, fish during the day, sell the fish in the evening, and write in a little cabin on the beach at night. They think I'm joking but I'm 100% serious. I don't want obligations that won't get me where i want to be. When i think about doing that i feel selfish and self centered. I'd be leaving behind those who cared for me and loved me and gave me everything i needed. But it's what i want to do. I'll be eighteen, and i feel like my understanding of the world shouldn't be confined to what it will be if i go to college.

I know this all will seem stupid. I feel half stupid writing out now. I also know 4chan is made up of mostly college age folks, and will probably be biased in that area. But you, frankly, know more than i do. All of you probably have something to teach me. If you think I'm stupid, tell me why, at least give me something to think about. I thought it was just another teenager stage at first. But the more i think about it, the more sense it starts to make, at least to me. I want to be in dangerous places where I'm not secure, where nothing is assured. I want to learn from people who think I'm an idiot. I want my most valuable strengths to be something more than a college degree.

I know it's probably something every teenager goes through. But right now that's what I'm planning to do after high school.

I really would like advice on this, your honest opinion.

As a guy who has had the same desire to travel the world and have adventures since he started college, and is putting it off until he gets his degree, I can't really answer your question.

What I will say is that I am depressed almost all the time and am constantly concerned and fearful of losing the lens through which I currently view the world and not being able rekindle it when the time comes.

Out of fear, I've have written hundreds of pages to myself to guide myself back to the headspace that I am in now and have been in for the past two years.

I don't know what to tell you. I hope that travelling will have the same meaning to me in 1.5 more years that it would have on me today. I have taken steps to assure that it does, but it is a massive concern for me.

College is an experience, you would regret missing it. You'll be 22 (right?) when you graduate. That is very young. I'm a senior about to graduate, I still feel like a kid tbh. I would go to school, KU would probably be a lot of fun. You might have a hard time meeting people, I go to a big state school too. But the people I've become close with in college are probably the best friends I've ever had. It was really difficult at times, but I changed a lot, probably for the better. I'm an English major, and it's unfortunately very impractical. But I saw my dad work a job he hated as long as I was alive, and my grandpa do the same. It's hard to see that. He did really well for us and our family, but I would rather have had him did something he loved and made less. But some people aren't cut out for loving work, I think my dad might be one of those people. That partially inspired me to be an English major. I knew anything else would probably make me less happy, if not miserable. If you think you want to be an English major because it will make you happier than an Engineer, then do it. Don't worry about money, if you love what you do and are good at it, it will come. Maybe not a lot of it, but enough. You'll have time to travel the world for the rest of your life. Write as a hobby for now, maybe it will become a career. Stick to your regiment, it's impressive. College is a big change, and it can seem really scary, and it is. You really should do it, I think you would regret it. I hope there is some advice in this that can help people in this thread. Good thread, OP.

Not the same guy, but is this a really American perspective? Because as an Australian university student who was looking forward to going to uni throughout all of high school (and got into his dream institution) words can't describe how fucking disappointed I am with how its been. In the best of times its been a "Less than Zero" kind of experience which is a path that I got off quite quickly, at its worst I Feel like a faceless ghost just going through my classes and making no human connections. Somewhere in the middle, its just a bunch of drinking buddies bound to other towns with a slight intellectual edge on the vibe.

Its honestly killed my extroverted self, art is the only thing I can trust to always be there... expressing my creativity is the only real way to find satisfaction anymore, but the loneliness is still fucking crushing.

Say yes to going out/doing new things. When you look back on a year and nothing of note actually happened in it you will regret being anti-social/ a coward.
Don't gear all your efforts towards becoming a famous/important/high status person, it will never be enough and leave you miserable. Aim to enjoy life instead.

People that are proud of things they didn't achieve themselves, like race or height or things of that ilk, are generally not worth dealing with,

Most people would rather be right than know truth, and feel threatened when they are proven incorrect. Thus, the human race is actually biologically predisposed against the finding of truth, and amongst lay-people it is actually a case of the arguments and opinions of their fathers and upbringings, as opposed to anything they thought of themselves.

It's better to present two choices you want and allow them a choice, than one suggestion that they might refuse.

I have a girlfriend who is confident, articulate, playful and spontaneous.

I have a small group of interesting friends from different social and academic backgrounds, and I also have many other acquaintances who see me as a reliable source of humour and good company.

Both my parents are alive and in good health.

I have no regrets.

I have already experienced three existential crises, the latter of which was described as having the depth and profundity of a man twice my age.

When something has to be done, no matter how unpleasant, it's best to just do it, instead of putting it off, or passing the buck on to someone else. And if you think that you wont be able to live with it having done it, you are wrong. Human beings can survive almost anything, if they let themselves.

Even if you do not need love, others do, or think they do.

Being cold, and distant, is not the same as being stoic.

Everyone you will ever meet has faults.

Love will not make you whole. It can make you happy but it can't make everything ok. Only you can make yourself ok. It's selfish to expect another flawed person to save you.

Let things alone. The more so the wilder the waves of public or of private life. There are hurricanes in human affairs, tempests of passion, when it is wise to retire to a harbour and ride at anchor. Remedies often make diseases worse: in such cases one has to leave them to their natural course and the moral suasion of time. It takes a wise doctor to know when not to prescribe, and at times the greater skill consists in not applying remedies. The proper way to still the storms of the vulgar is to hold your hand and let them calm down of themselves. Togive way now is to conquer by and by. A fountain gets muddy with but little stirring up, and does not get clear by our meddling with it but by our leaving it alone. The best remedy for disturbances is to let them run their course, for so they quiet down.

One thing I learned the hard way is the importance of doing. The importance of action and of putting things into motion.

We are too easily caught by a thought similar to "I won't go to the gym because I'm not strong enough". That is, we think that there are prerequisites of action that are not actually there and are in fact consequences of those actions. "I can't write anything good", because you're not writing anything. If you want to overcome an obstacle, move. Don't try to figure out what is the best move, but just move and use this movement to learn, by doing it, which is the best way to do it. Don't sit on a problem, act on it. By acting it out, even if you're commiting mistakes, you'll know how not to commit them. If you're at a crossroad and you want to know where each one goes, looking at them won't help you decide, just walk towards one and if you're mistaken, walk back. It actually less of a waste of time. If you are getting suck by a whirlpool, floating won't get you out, swimming may speed up the process but it is your hope of getting out, so swim.

"I don't know how to do it". Do it and then you'll know. Not the other way around.

I have lived for a while, maybe this little rant will help to put a mind or two at ease, if nothing else:

-Be kind. To yourself and others.
-Learn to learn. There's literature and workshops for that all over the place.
-Do not trust the news.
-Don't complain about your life, even if it sucks. Complaining will only put a negative filter on your worldview, and will push people away.
-Learn how you think, and how you can change your thinking patterns. Good start is to identify your primary and secondary systems of thought. (VAK)
-Make decisions. Do not hasten them, but do not put them away either.
-Speak your mind. DO NOT censor yourself. Not only is this incredibly attractive and sympathetic, it is also a surefire way to have the people in your life that you want to have.
-do not hold grudges. If someone is pissing you off, tell them so. (Except if it's a guy pointing a gun at you.)
-Dance. And When I say that, i do not mean classical dance, just: Move your body to music, together with other people. You might feel awkward at first, but about 10 minutes in you'll realize nobody gives a shit about your move, only about the fun you're having.
-Sing. There's a reason singing and dancing are some of the oldest group rituals of humanity.
-Stand by your friends. Be honest with them.
-Meditate daily. It is the singular best thing you can do for your mind and happiness.
-Eat well, even if you're young. Your body WILL thank you. If you have a hard time, try to realize that your body literally creates new cells out of the things in your body.
-Do drugs.

I could give more, but I feel this is sufficient for now. Please excuse any clichés, but you can't work your way around the basics.

Before it wasn't that hard, I can handle myself alone. I just thought that this fun thingy was a farse and that somehow having fun with others what just vapid and fake things. I thought I was right.

Everything of this went away since I saw how people can actually have fun and how you can't be part of that fun. I think having most of my childhood alone made me chronically depressed or something, I went to a school far of home and hadn't any friends neither in school nor in my home... I just can't enjoy things and make people get interested on what I say or do. I'm the invincible man, everybody has gotten their groups of people and i'm total outcast.

As i said, this isn't big deal when you just think that it's all fake, but seeing genuine fun and you being mentally crippled makes me think that this will be the same over and over. Always like this all the rest of my life.

Almost all women are weak, most men are weak to, but all women I have met have had the same basic set of flaws. Jealousy, fear, prone to indignation, with an inherent inability to accept themselves. All* women I have ever met have shown these faults, openly, quite openly. I'm not saying this to display any kind of hatred towards women. I just think it's easier for men to understand this about women, and not try to deny it. Besides, men are far weaker in other ways.

*Not entirely the truth. There was one woman who made an impression on me that she was not entirely like any other. But that's beside the point.

"By the sweat of your brow, you will eat your bread, until the day you are returned to the ground. For from dust you are, and to the dust you will return"

as with this passage;

But if I go to the east, he is not there;
if I go to the west, I do not find him.
When he is at work in the north, I do not see him;
when he turns to the south, I catch no glimpse of him.
But he knows the way that I take;
when he has tested me, I will come forth as gold.
My feet have closely followed his steps;
I have kept to his way without turning aside.
I have not departed from the commands of his lips;
I have treasured the words of his mouth more than my daily bread.
“But he stands alone, and who can oppose him?
He does whatever he pleases.
He carries out his decree against me,
and many such plans he still has in store.
That is why I am terrified before him;
when I think of all this, I fear him.
God has made my heart faint;
the Almighty has terrified me.
Yet I am not silenced by the darkness,
by the thick darkness that covers my face.

I think it works well with any philosophy that espouses perseverance in the face of the often bitter, seldom sweet nature of life.

This is true in theory only and invalidated by cruelty and prejudice. Remember that you're in a war of sorts when you attempt to further your position in life. But it's wise nonetheless, and optimism goes a lot further than pessimism in being an effective motivator. Never stop working hard, no matter what. For the anon who asked for an example, what could be more appropriate than writing? It's fighting not only against indifference but also yourself. Fight that part of you that would give up because your ideas are all that you have to bring to the world.

Before that shitstorm starts, botany major here. I'm gonna go ahead and just say for the sake of the future of this thread, Drugs are not good for you. Plants are not drugs. Plants are food.

Learn the difference between an obstacle and a resistance.

An obstacle is outside of yourself, it is a wall that you must overcome, it teaches you about life and encountering it is inevitable and will happen again and again.

Resitance is inside of yourself, it is the distortion of your flow, like the spiral inside the lightbulb. It keeps your energy from flowing and in the mean time it draws all that energy to other places, you are heated up from inside.

To face an obstacle is a sign that you're flowing, like water. If water was resistant, it wouldn't have to face so much obstacles. You can go around it, above it, you can break it or learn to flow in spite of it.

When you're resistant, you'll be producing something that you might not feel like producing, you might get angry or tired or seek ways to diminish your energy so that you don't have to face that much stress. The best way to overcome it is to put that energy to use, not to reduce the wasted energy, but learning on how to put it to work for you.

There's a program called WWOOF. Look it up. You could take trips to different places in the world every summer while still attending college. Alternatively, in a lot of cultures (Germany, for instance) it's tradition to take a formative year off before heading to university and go work on a farm or something in order to learn more about yourself and gain maturity. You could do something like that.

Definitely pick a degree that's going to have worldwide applications - and not just in cities. I'm studying Soil Science -- I'll have employment in agricultural labs, research farms, soil restoration efforts abroad in africa/china, etc. -- but really any of the natural sciences will do.

Also, look into summer internships with the National Park Service. They're fairly easy to get if you go for an Interpretation position, which means fancy tour guide with park ranger training.

This, we're so far removed from "nature" (if such a thing exists) that it shouldn't be spoken of in such definitive terms. "Human nature is this or that." A value judgment.

And yet it's become folk psychology that we are somehow related to neanderthals through a psychic pipeline.

It's hard to picture a field that's had a worse impact on everyday life than fucking psychology.

When confronted with risk, especially one that came through choice, act divisively and submit to what is presented to you. If you were satisfied with your life enough to hesitate towards decision then you already know your appropriate choice as to deny risk, however, if you are unsatisfied with your life always accept the change risk presents.
