In a civilized society one should be given the option to live for very little in tiny accomodation if one chooses. The fact this option doesn't exist shows that society knows that, and is terrified by the prospect that, many people would choose to "drop out" if given the choice. I went through an edgy phase in school and then I sort of accepted things, but I have little interest any more in the real world or in the vague concept of society.

Why are wagecucks this boring?

Most people contribute very little, and work jobs created not out of necessity of their function but because technology hasn't yet replaced them. In my country call centers are now the largest employer, and many if not most of these places only exist to spam homeowners with unwanted calls. It's pathetic.

If you gave a wagecuck 40 hours a week to himself he wouldn't know what to do with it anyways. He wouldn't create anything productive as a result, only feel bad for himself that he doesn't have a supervisor to plan out his workload for him. It's like my relatives who are in the military and yet talk down to other people looking for jobs in the private sector: Your military job isn't that impressive, since practically all of the planning is done for you—you just have to show up at a certain time and the rest of your life is taken care of. Autonomy is impressive; having every detail of your work life plotted out by someone else isn't.

I have always found it difficult to understand how some one could continuously play video games over reading a comic book or watching an animated series.
The closest to having a good experience with a video game was "Disgaea 3: Absence of Detention", "Pokemon LeafGreen" or "Crisis Core", but the effort it took to attain a transcendent experience through the use of these media was excruciating and some thing I do not think I will be able to do again. Why? For one, the video game as a symbol has waned over the years and has been replaced with books. Because of this, the expectancy that a video game will provide the same experience the two aforementioned games provided is nearly impossible. Aside from that, the games themselves no longer provide me with the same experience. As far as comic books go, the action is taken care of, the experience simply unfolding itself: the fear of wasted effort is non existent. The comic itself is superior to text, considering it is text collaborating with image.
This could even be said of a video game, considering all these things could be implemented, although the problem lies with both the appreciation available to the medium and the fact that it promises so much and gives so little, leading to the following result: In practice, literature, text only, and no Danielewski mumbo jumbo will provide you with a transcendent experience.
Not film, music, comic book, video game, painting et cetera. Only Literature and possibly only fiction and poetry, not philosophy or history.

I agree with you on a certain level. But I trust you must acknowledge that claiming that any given man must work in order to be truly 'productive' is as silly as saying that every man who absconds from employment will necessarily create a masterpiece of independent work while sitting at home without employment.

There is definitely something to be said about the quality of employment in terms of making someone feel less nihilistic about life, but unless you're really doing some sort of work which is life affirming for you (and let us just admit that most of us are not), then it is less satisfying.

Being a wagecuck isn't the only way to get paid. I probably wasn't clear enough.
"productivity" is bullshit. People become wagecucks for the money. And you do need money to enjoy a good quality of life without being a burden on your parents.
Obviously, there are far better ways to make money than turning into a wagecuck.

>>6852593
To me, at least, productivity doesn't mean anything. If you feel like you have to be productive in your life, go chase your definition of productivity. It's not a standard to judge people by. The reason most people go to work for is the money, however. The best case scanario will be working in somthing you would be doing in your free time anyways.

Also, yea, I obviously agree that wagecuckery isn't necassery in order to be a productive person, just like how being a NEET isn't the only way to truely be doing what you want.

Not true in the case of many if not most women, who do so because they equate wagecuckery with "liberation"

Also you can survive by alternative means. Nobody with any sense of dignity should sacrifice over 40 hours of their week (not including commuting, lunch, and preparations) for the sake of a society which (in many of 4chan users' cases at least) sees them as repulsive and undesirable.

Easy, mate.
Working isn't for society, it's for yourself, to make money.
If you meant living off social welfare, which is pretty much being taken care of by society as a whole - I'm not against it. You're not going to have alot of money, but if you're fine with it and your country allows it, go ahead.

Remember video games, especially these days, are practically Skinner boxes, steadily dishing out rewards for the player to eagerly lap up. There's a pleasure response when one's WoW character levels up or whatever and the flashing lights and pleasant jingle only reinforce the reward. A sense of achievement is gained much more easily through video games than through the other mediums you talked about and the reward activates more senses.

This may be a stretch but video games can supplement a sense of achievement if one doesn't have a source of positive reinforcement in their everyday endeavors.

What you seem to be missing is that some people such as myself (and, I imagine, other anons) are fine living like that for the rest of their lives. I might have nothing to offer a qt 3,14 in terms of relationship but sex-wise that is not a problem.

You seem to be missing the fact that all that you listed that one would miss out on should they live bohemian are things that are part of the living in society experience that a lot of us either despise or have no interest in being part of. It's not laziness and does not necessarily mean getting no education or skills.
And you say it like the people who work public desk jobs have any skills or anything to show for themselves beyond a model living style - house in the suburbs, married with kids, traveling once or twice a year for no reason other than to fit in the modern "i love traveling!" middle class mantra that convinces boring, brainwashed people that they're interested in different people and cultures when really, they're not, it's just the sophisticated thing to do, mere tourism.

Among the proletariat today, there's widespread apathy, drug abuse, escapism, and desperation. Among the ruling class, the kind of disconnect where they actually believe paying for tranny's medical procedures is a pressing issue. We live in a post scarcity world, driven forward by a nearly suicidal work ethic. Give me one good reason not to drop out, get a minimum wage job as a stagehand at my local opera house, and spend my free time watching Yale lectures on a big screen projector (which can be bought pretty cheaply and used to turn entire walls into an engrossing aesthetic experience).

I was eating one of those artificial flavoring packets that you mix in drinks the other day, and was enjoying the sweet strange chemical flavor that's unlike any fruit or vegetable found on earth, and I realized what Marinetti was raving about. Modern life is amazing, literally every second of it allows for sensual delights that kings a couple hundred years ago couldn't have dreamed of, there's absolutely no reason to worry about work as much as people do.

The thing is, it's not a real choice. They didn't think of other possibilities and chose that because it's the one that appealed most to them.

That's why I feel a diffuse contempt for "normal" people. They're not self aware, not about the lives they lead anyway. But more contempt (or rather, pity) still I feel for people like the anon you quoted, who know there is an alternative but are too scared to pursue it.

ive felt that way too, but you know, i came to realize that after changing enough my view of things and being able to leave my old wishes as i "discovered the true world" i later came to realize that i only changed my view, that i constructed it in the process i experienced as a discovery; and also that i felt miserable back then because i never built those wishes, but was only told they were the right ones and it was assumed, even by myself, that i wanted them. many people who live those lives have been given the chance of constructing an attachment to it so they are fine living it; i think it all boils down to the experience and attachment that you have to your life and your world.

the only way to change the world is changing oneself. the rest is done by itself. i remember i had arguments with my family and friends, i used all my intellectual arguments there but i can say that nothing has struck them more than my leaving my old life and starting over by myself.

Let me get this straight. You're a 32-year-old man whose freedom isn't restricted by a mortgage, kids, and a wife. Instead of developing skills specific to industry, you've developed skills related to your respective interests. You look like any other 32-year-old man, except you're perhaps a little less stressed and a little more energetic, so you probably have more hair and a more youthful looking face. You don't have much money, so you have little to offer women monetarily; but you don't have a wife, kids, or a mortgage, nor do you have a demanding job, so you have plenty of time for the women who do show you interest, even if their numbers are few. However, if you become desperate like the adulterous married man, you can simply do what he does and lie about yourself to impress women enough to sleep with you. Also consider the fact that a person who has chosen this lifestyle isn't doing so to score with hot twenty-somethings. If that happens it's simply a bonus.

No, i didn't mean it like that, and never even said i didn't care about women, you're just making assumptions. Women are important. We are biologically driven to lust after them. But changing your whole lifestyle for a relationship with some imagined person is just pure fantasy. I'm trying to say that people like him overly romanticize what a relationship is even like.

There is a difference between wanting a relationship with someone who you like and presumably likes you for you, than living your life in a way to please your made up notion of your perfect partner.

Like i said, why would you want to be with someone who hated the lifestyle you enjoy? Relationships with just any woman aren't worth all that much effort and in the end aren't going to make you happy.

his post says he suspects it's people with no experience who idolize relationships because you'd HAVE to be lacking experience to idolize relationships with other people to such an extent that you base your happiness on them and would want to be with people that don't like you just because you idolize the fantasy of relationships.

FTFY.

People dress the same way for women. People talk the same way for women. It's all about women.

It's a fact that many if not most women grow out of their "reckless partying" mode when they're like 24 and forced to get a full-time job. That doesn't mean they don't get drunk etc but they're also more attracted to guys who are succeeding in a culturally-endorsed sense. When they reach 30 they start thinking of babies and wanting a guy who will help provide them the material comforts that made their own childhood so enjoyable.
