My sweet naughty little fuckbird,
Here is another note to buy pretty drawers or stockings or garters. Buy whorish drawers, love, and be sure you sprinkle the legs of them with some nice scent and also discolour them just a little behind.
You seem anxious to know how I received your letter which you say is worse than mine. How is it worse than mine, love? Yes, it is worse in one part or two. I mean the part where you say what you will do with your tongue (I don’t mean sucking me off) and in that lovely word you write so big and underline, you little blackguard. It is thrilling to hear that word (and one or two others you have not written) on a girl’s lips. But I wish you spoke of yourself and not of me. Write me a long long letter, full of that and other things, about yourself, darling. You know now how to give me a cockstand. Tell me the smallest things about yourself so long as they are obscene and secret and filthy. Write nothing else. Let every sentence be full of dirty immodest words and sounds. They are all lovely to hear and to see on paper even but the dirtiest are the most beautiful.
The two parts of your body which do dirty things are the loveliest to me. I prefer your arse, darling, to your bubbies because it does such a dirty thing. I love your cunt not so much because it is the part I block but because it does another dirty thing. I could lie frigging all day looking at the divine word you wrote and at the thing you said you would do with your tongue. I wish I could hear your lips spluttering those heavenly exciting filthy words, see your mouth making dirty sounds and noises, feel your body wriggling under me, hear and smell the dirty fat girlish farts going pop pop out of your pretty bare girlish bum and fuck fuck fuck fuck my naughty little hot fuckbird’s cunt for ever.
I am happy now, because my little whore tells me she wants me to roger her arseways and wants me to fuck her mouth and wants to unbutton me and pull out my mickey and suck it off like a teat. More and dirtier than this she wants to do, my little naked fucker, my naughty wriggling little frigger, my sweet dirty little farter.
Goodnight, my little cuntie I am going to lie down and pull at myself till I come. Write more and dirtier, darling. Tickle your little cockey while you write to make you say worse and worse. Write the dirty words big and underline them and kiss them and hold them for a moment to your sweet hot cunt, darling, and also pull up your dress a moment and hold them in under your dear little farting bum. Do more if you wish and send the letter then to me, my darling brown-arsed fuckbird.
- James "Jim" Joyce

I'm sure some people think their life needs no improvement as it is. Inflated egos and general shortsightedness aren't that uncommon. But I guess the vast majority actually know what they are doing and are depressed and merely coping, like you say.

People used to drill holes into their skull with bits of stone.

You're missing the point. Civilisation brought a huge swathe of negatives, hence the lowered life expectancy. It's only very recently that the life expectancy got any better than in the stone age, and it's only very very recently that we developed all this shit (incidentally during one of the worst periods of human existence, the industrial age).

have not human cooperation flourished and developed from the earliest hunter-gatherer societies under what we call civilization?

With civilization mankind has created its own habitat under which it can develop much faster, and much further, than otherwise possible. To say this is bad just because of initial problems, which we are overcoming, is misguided in my opinion.

I realize we might be interpreting "civilization" in two slightly different ways. I'm using it in a rather broad manner as the societal structure enabling wide-spread cooperation at a much larger scale then possible in the wild.

Would you disagree with what I actually said, which is that it's generally been a horrible idea?

Obviously it's brought about great benefits right now, but beforehand it was a fucking terrible decision which should not have been undertaken.

From the general perspective of mankind civilisation was unequivocally a bad thing. You're just grasping at what you have now, thinking it somehow discounts what went before.

And that's without even touching spooks.

I think you're glorifying pre-modern civilisation -- living from hand to mouth is a strenuous affair. Hunter-gatherers were better off when it came to food than their agricultural peers.

If I had a fulfilling life full of friendship and adventure and meaningful relationships I would have never been drawn to 4chan in the first place.

Not to mention text messaging, which isn't exactly the most meaningful kind of human contact, or spending hours upon hours "bingewatching" garbage television shows on netflix. It's not just anons who are addicted to the internet, it's everybody in gen Y, late gen X.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that 4chan is like facebook for lonely spergs.

Yes. Civilisation has existed for ten thousand years and only in the last thousand has it surpassed the stone age. And then it got worse again.

Okay. And? It was still a bad idea in every conceivable way. It just happened to get better. You understand what I was originally replying to, right?

In any case individually no, of course not. And in this case that's all that matters, given we are talking about the supposed flourishing of a human quality.

Yes, working together in new ingenous ways, and in larger groups, is broadening the human experience. But maybe the word flourishing was poorly choosen, apologies for that misdirection.

>You understand what I was originally replying to, right?
I realise I've lost track of the initial starting point. I can agree that in hindsight it looked like humans initially made a mistake with agriculture, when viewing life-expectancy numbers, but I think the wonders of modern civilization has proven the move correct in the end.

I guess we sort of agree. It is not a horrible idea in general, but the initial move away from hunter-gatherer did have some horrible consequences. However I do not think that initial move would have happened had it not also had some positive effect.

I find it funny to think that some of these quotes and a bunch of others is just some shitty sentence mid-paragraph on page 94 of some boring ass revised notebook of some 200 year old white guy, but when you put it between quote marks and add a picture of the guy next to it, it seems to be the effigy of all of his thinking, sometimes even of his time and place.

this quote is from js mill's book utilitarianism. his sentiment here is that humans as rational beings are in a superior position than non-rational beings such as pigs. mill goes on to argue that "if the fool, or the pig, are a different opinion, it is because they only know their own side of the question. The other party to the comparison knows both sides." that particular quote ties into mill's argument in utilitarianism that there are some pleasures higher than others. humans can listen to mozart; analyze paintings; experience profound love and sorrow; all these because we have highly developed rational faculties that allow us to experience these pleasures. whereas a pig or fool cannot. his philosophy is based on achieving the highest possible pleasure for all sentient life, so mill argues in this quote that the dissatisfied human is better off than the content pig because they can experience the aforementioned pleasures, which count for more in his system.

fucking is less pleasurable than playing chopin on piano, in mill's view. since a pig can only fuck and not play chopin on piano, the human is better off. it's not an empty platitude. highly recommend reading the whole of utilitarianism along with on liberty.

I go outside, I go to university, I have a job. None of these experiences have magically made me more social or less weird. I'm pretty good at faking small talk and being polite but I have no idea how to actually connect with people, so I go about my day and come home and read books alone.

That shows who are the real scientists and who are these wannabes that take science as the greatest thing ever and dismiss without actually understanding either, that take the concept of science to appeal to pseudo-intellectuals that say things like "You know there are billions of galaxy in the universe?

This tbqh

I have friends, I got a degree, I have a soulless wagecuck job. This meme that you're missing out on 'friendship and adventure' by being a shitposting neet is just that, a meme. A meme that is either perpetuated by people who want you to grease the cogs of society by conforming, or one perpetuated by deluded idealists who, ironically, can only praise 'real life' by claiming it's actually like the escapist fiction they condemn.

But it isn't like that.

Interacting with the 'real world' just reminds me of why I prefer reading books instead 99% of the time.

It smells because of tourists. The rude and disrespectful normies who visit Venice not to see the art but to take selfies on the gondolas. The fucking energumens from Northern European countries pissing in alleys and throwing the garbage on the ground. That's why it smells. Not because of the canals with stagnant water, which is a natural and characteristic feature of Venice. Fuck the idiots, I would crucify all of them on the via Appia and set fire to their corpses.
