>You mean a more drama-filled mode of living where social standing is determined by art skills?

Or a more dignified expression of an anthromorphically aware society. What manifestation that society would have is impossible to predict.

I have stated my arguments and they have not been overturned. Show me an instance of my circular logic.

>I honestly feel no emptyness or inadequacy which could be filled by identifying with animals.

You have tricked yourself into happiness through surrogation of your instinctive primal inclinations with your chosen lifestyle, and as such are able to elude the feelings of alienation. However, such surrogation is not possible for everybody and certainly not sustainable within the broader context of civilization, as an increasing number of people will be able to find such lifestyles due to the increasing abundance of vital resources and declining human input needed to maintain them. As such, only that small number of people working directly to maintain the foundations of society (i.e. engineers and scientists; this probably wasn't the best board for this in retrospect) will find adequate fulfillment in their lives.

If you were to say abandon your surrogate lifestyle, you would find only two truly fruitful paths for happiness: a return to a more simple mode of living, or furrydom.

>Tech. advancement is HIS nature, man expresses himself by creating machinery and art

Indeed, but as already covered, it is a paradoxical nature in that by creating new means to support himself, he loses the need to occupy himself with supporting himself. As such, he becomes alienated and must reconnect with his roots for a sense of purpose.

I have enough respect for /sci/ to keep the discussion civil. As such, I will at most use reaction images cropped from porn.

>What you are proposing is your personal solution,

It is a universal solution, because all men have a repressed primal nature, and furrydom is the only expression of this nature in technological civilization.

>I swear by whatever power you hold as holy in this world, if I ever hear my kids talking about being "enlightened" by one of you turds, Ill fucking kill all of you. It will be a sweet, sweet, sling-blade style, quiet, genocide, which will go largly unnoticed because nobody likes to talk about mentally deviant minorities (no offense, its what you are, not that there is anything wrong with that, the same applies for all radicals). If my kids want to be freaks, I want your kind to have nothing to do with it. Id accept them if they made the decision themselves.

Any anger against the furries would be analogous to shooting the messenger, because all they would have done is made your child aware to what was already there.

Sexuality is but one part of a greater furrydom. The native Americans did not overtly express their sexuality within the context of furrydom because they weren't furries. They did, however, live their sexual lives with in the context of their primal living conditions and mannerisms.

>>3906094
>I won't dignify your retarded argument with a reasonable reply.

Because you don't have one.

>>3906057
>But they didn't "want to be furries".

Because they didn't need to be. As I stated before, the literal expression of ferility then is not the same as the necessary abstract expression of ferility now. It's also important to make the distinction that a mystical spirit animal is not the same type of self-expression as a fursona. The animal you most identify with to use as a fursona will be based upon your personal perceptions of that animal and how you identify with it, which will be affected strongly by cultural and other personal factors, rather than religious dogma.

>>3906031
>Having a pet and/or going on a walk through a park. Go hiking/camping if you really want the effect.

These returns are shallow and temporary. Being a furry permeates your being completely and at all times.

>>3906012
>none, however, involve dressing up as animals and living as them.

The literal expression of ferility then is not the same as the necessary abstract expression of it now. Man was one with nature in a more direct way then, we must now seek to reestablish our primal roots in the only way mutually compatible with modern civilization.

Refer back to my first post.
>[Man] was a beast; an uncivilized creature driven by instinct and carnal compulsion. He lived his days pursuing fundamental goals and dreaming amidst the grandeur of nature. He lived amongst the wild animals, learning from them, taking from them, being one of them. He consumed their untamed flesh for sustenance and wore their wild fur for warmth. He paid intellectual homage to them with animist rituals. Simply put, his feral nature was his closeness to the animal kingdom.

The question is, how are we to recapture this state of ourselves without reverting to a pre-agricultural state? What is the natural manifestation of this state in a society where scarcity is relatively unknown? We must reconnect with our animalistic roots by embracing them in a way that is not antithetical to civilization. We must embrace that ever-important relationship with the animal kingdom by allowing it to dominate our aesthetic imperative and vision of ourselves. In other words, we must become furries.

>>3905980
>nope, at least <100,000 years ago man was the same as these day

Man was psychically the same, which is part of the problem. His surroundings and how he met his fundamental goals, however, were not. Since man is so similar to the primal hunter-gatherer, he loses himself in a world of abundance and forgets how to express his nature.

>>3905941
>Furrism is immature and gross.

The status quo is alienated and cold.

>>3905917
Beehives and anthills evolved over millions of years, allowing their inhabitants to be fully adjusted for the particular mode of living within such communities. Man experienced an upheaval over the short period of roughly ten thousand years, and thus could not have possibly 'kept up' in an evolutionary sense. Refer to my first post:
>[Man's] nature is to use his ingenuity to enrich himself, but in enriching himself, he alienates himself from his nature. Generation after generation of cumulative innovation, man finds himself with an abundance of resources but with a lack of purpose.
In order to reconcile yourself with civilization, we either must fundamentally modify what it means to be a human, reducing ourselves to no better than robots and discarding all values we hold dear, or become furries.

>>3905908
Fursuiters are but one of many possible expressions of furrydom. I personally find the extroverted expressions to be a bit less philosophically substantial, but I do not question the actions of these furries nor the validity of their actions.

>>3905890
>OP I stopped listening.
Because you are a fool who is afraid of letting himself realize himself.
>Also, It is ridiculous to think that "being a furry" is somehow natural
Being a furry is not natural in the same way civilization isn't natural, but the two must go hand in hand for man to be truly happy within civilization.

>>3905838
Then you are answering the call from the sexual centers of yourself, but not fully accepting what you truly are.

>>3905815
Ponyfaggotry is an abortion of a true anthromorphic awakening; a hellish limbo between the mundanity of humanity and the grace of furrydom.

>>3905791
Be a furry cyborg.

>>3905755
There's that defense mechanism I mentioned. Why do you continue to allow yourself to be repressed?

The only thing from Marx in this post was the "A spectre is haunting 4chan..." and Marx probably didn't even write that himself.

No. Throwing away everything we've accomplished would be foolish, even impossible. What man is to do then, is to seek the natural manifestation of his feral nature within the context of his civilization. In other words, man must once again become one with the animal kingdom whilst remaining civilized. Man must adopt the animal spirit and aesthetic. He must make them one with himself. He must become a furry. To become a furry is to awaken yourself from a ten-thousand year slumber; to finally reconcile living in cold civilization with it's antithesis of wild, passionate barbarism by synthesizing them into a final and ultimate state of existence.

You, my friends, must free yourself from your listless half existence. You must find your inner animal. No, I don't mean for you to just pick any animal and mold yourself to it. You must delve deep into your very soul to uncover that which has always been there. Your experience will be and must be yours alone, as your fursona is your salvation. Perhaps you possess the essence of the bear; strong but wreckless. Perhaps you possess the free spirit of the otter; graceful and carefree. Or even perhaps your best manifestation is not a familiar creature at all, but something more exotic. I cannot say. Only you can speak for yourself.

Together we can forge a new race of transcendent beings. We can tower far above the fools who would live life without truly living! Join me, friends, not as humans, but as gods.

A spectre is haunting 4chan – the spectre of anthromophism.

Many of you cringe at the thought of the world of furries. You spit and scowl at any little piece of the subculture that manages to intrude on your sheltered world of imageboards and video games, but have you ever truly sat back and asked why you react the way you do? I'm sure you could recite to me a whole list you've tricked yourself into sincerely believing, but as I aim to show you, your revulsion is nothing more than a defense mechanism – a subconscious resistance imbued into you by a world that doesn't want you to realize your true self.

Man is a complicated being. His nature is to use his ingenuity to enrich himself, but in enriching himself, he alienates himself from his nature. Generation after generation of cumulative innovation, man finds himself with an abundance of resources but with a lack of purpose. He has been doomed to an unnatural and unfulfilling existence. He has lost all connection to his feral roots, and by virtue of what remains of them, prevents himself from reconnecting to that which has been lost. The situation is not devoid of hope, however, for as a human aware of his desolation, you are able to recover what has been lost.

What was man in his primal state? He was a beast; an uncivilized creature driven by instinct and carnal compulsion. He lived his days pursuing fundamental goals and dreaming amidst the grandeur of nature. He lived amongst the wild animals, learning from them, taking from them, being one of them. He consumed their untamed flesh for sustenance and wore their wild fur for warmth. He paid intellectual homage to them with animist rituals. Simply put, his feral nature was his closeness to the animal kingdom. But how can we recapture this in our modern, changing world? Are we to revert to per-agricultural barbarism?
