As it turns out it wasn't the brightest idea to get myself kicked out of high school. Nor was it a good idea to sit at home doing fuck all until the age of 20. Next month I'll sign up for that one institution and finish my education, then if possible I'll try to enter university. Bit worried about only managing to graduate(if I even manage to enter at all) at 25 or so, but oh well.

what the fuck is the "religious intoxication" that bronze age pervert talks about? I suspect this only achievable with hallucinogens or something

>Please give your thoughts anons
I wake every day at 06:00, whenceforth I immediately brew a fresh cup of hot coffee using an instant coffee mix mixed with tapwater. Then whilst drinking my brewed beans intermittently I study for about 1 hour exactly, at which point I wash my face, shave if necessary and go for a walk in the park. Such the verdant park with real non-veneered trees is. I see the people walking. Their masks do not deflect my thought, but attract and bind it to that which is concealed. I am filled with a sense of repugnance whenever the thought is processed, not by the perception however, this only inoculates a minor form of antipathy of the loathsome kind. I return then after about 4000 marks on the grounded trail. I continue with work after I decide whether to sit at the dining table, or my desk. The decision I make, but I never realise it at the time, is prophylactic in that the one will lead me to take a break earlier in which I consume some sort of dairy product. I realise I am still wearing my shoes and place them from my feet into my hand then into cupboard which I refurbished into a shoe-board. I work. The stint this time lasts thrice as long as the previous one in which I worked only 1 hour -- this is done by me in anticipation of regular lunchtime: 12:00. By the time I am finished with the work it is thus around 11:00. Somehow sometimes it is earlier, somehow it is later. One time whilst I opened the windows of my apartment, a large insect flew inside, I open the windows whilst waiting for the boiler to heat my tapwater for the instant coffee, I had to remove the insect by removing it through one of my two windows; the insect left through the same window it had entered. One more hour for lunchtime. I immediately start preparing lunch after finishing the morning session of work. The preparation of lunch typically only takes me but a quarter hour. So around 11:30 I have my lunch ready. I am 30 minutes short to the hour of necessity almost every day but for the exceptional case mentioned above. In these 30 minutes I have accumulated a certain unwonted skillset.

Going to try and fix my god-awful handwriting. It actually looks so awful that people struggle to read it, and I have several times been asked if I'm writing not in Latin script but Arabic or some other one.

I’m convinced that having unrestricted access to internet pornography from a young age has messed up millennial/gen Z men terribly. Their sexuality was warped during their formative years, and in some cases their fetishes and fixations are so entrenched that they may actually be incapable of maintaining healthy relationships.

>>24547083
this goes for women too, unrestricted access to internet, including apps like instagram, tiktok, snapchat etc. gave women a tool to constantly boost their self esteem and an endless row of men that will flog at their feet gifting them flowers, money, tickets to wherever and other shit

>>24547092
>>24547083
Both sexes are constantly told the other one is irredeemably fucked up and not worthy of their time or attention beyond just using them for temporary sexual pleasure and ego gratification. Psyops encouraging everyone to have shallow transactional relationships so people don't form solid families and communities are how you conquer people without blowing them up and making them fear for their lives.

>It’s easy to hate the rich, but do you have the will to hate the poor?

I keep taking back to this quote.

I cannot deal with other people. They force me to communicate and then I just spout cringe. Better to avoid.

No one can date my daughter but me.

>>24547092
Okay? This seems fairly unrelated to what I said. It seems like you’re just looking for any pretext to complain about how easy life is for women (in your mind). Yeah, having access to the internet has been psychologically harmful to both men and women in different ways, but I think that unfettered access to pornography is much more harmful for men than it is for women.

>>24547145
I don’t think most men (or most women) are irredeemable. I see this as a societal problem, and in some cases a failure of parenting, not necessarily as a personal moral failing. Pornography is addictive and desensitising, and if you’re given unrestricted access to it at a young age, it makes complete sense that you could fall down some strange rabbit holes and emerge messed up. To be more precise, when I say they may be incapable of maintaining healthy relationships in some cases, this becomes an issue when they refuse to recognize the negative impact of their pornography consumption, or accept that it would benefit them to stop indulging in such content. If they were to recognize it as detrimental and take steps to disconnect from it, many of them very likely could develop a much healthier mindset. But a lot of them either can’t or won’t. It just makes me sad that so many men seem incapable of recognizing the destructive impact that it’s had on their sexual development. It’s cognitive dissonance, essentially.

I think part of the reason my dad emotionally/sexually absued me for so many years was because I was shit at sports. Since we were young, he was adamant about my brother and I being great at sports like he was. My brother was great at multiple sports while I was a timid, overweight, uncoordinated spaz. Therefore, my brother was off limits, while I was already useless in his eyes. He couldn't risk damaging my brother's body or mind, thus putting his other goals at risk. There was nothing to risk when it came to abusing me since I had no value in his eyes. Sometimes when I'm really low, I think about tackling him to the ground and screaming at him 'why did you do this to me, you bastard, you bastard, you bastard', but it's all pointless.

>>24547257
Interesting that you see masturbation as inextricably connected to internet pornography. If you can’t get yourself off without consumption of extreme internet porn, then that’s in and of itself a problem.

>>24547217

>>24547257
The question whether p0rn is more harmful to men or women, can only be answered by empirical means.

We can investigate the consequences of each ideas, though.

Porn in more harmful to men and social media is more harmful to women. Our vulnerabilities are visual and theirs are social. The broader internet exploits both

NTA, I just added a couple more memories since earlier in this thread.

Space and time presuppose being, being presupposes non-being, and non-being presupposes the Way. The Way is presupposed by everything and transcends all. The term "Way" is the one thing that ought to be taken seriously, should anything be taken seriously at all.

>>24547211
I think pornography is mentally destructive to young men, but I honestly think social media and the normalizing of parasocial relationships is worse. People are being trained to be narcissistic consumers every time they pick up their phone. Everyone lives in a private media landscape where they're emotionally manipulated into self-destructive patterns of behavior because it increases the bottom line or pushes the agenda of those with power. It's far more insidious and socially corrosive.

Been bingewatching through the TV show Billions the past week, haven't been reading at all. Show is really good. Can't wait to finish though so I can get back to reading and writing.

I feel stupid for not having read literature and poetry when I was younger. I always thought STEM and basic philosophy was all there really was to learn and everyone around me had the same mindset. I wish somebody would have told me how wrong I was.

I regret listening to my teachers and parents when I was younger who told me to go to college and get an education. I ended up working university adjacent tech jobs and then building software for some private companies, and realized I hated the industry and I wasted my youth learning esoteric bullshit that is now being automated away. I enjoy programming as a hobby but making it my career has meant working for big corpos and having next to zero job security, and I realized I'd have been better off being a residential electrician so I wouldn't have to sell my soul to wannabe tyrants who just want to spy on everyone, build customer hating automation, and mindfuck the population into servitude. I'm 42 and it feels too late to change, but I can't do this shit the rest of my life. Fucking hell.

I’m going through a somewhat similar situation. It’s largely my father’s fault; he’s a vain, pushy idiot. I’m getting my MS in Robotic Intelligence on July 22nd, but the main difference between you and me is that I hate programming, too. Most white-collar jobs will be automated, and for a number of reasons the future will be dystopian. Going into simple blue-collar work would have been better. It doesn’t help that I’ve developed a strong aversion to driving on highways, too. My ultimate conclusion is that the entire human species is a failure.

You can say people are being encouraged to have shallow relationships but let’s be specific. Most men are not good enough at attracting women to do this. If anything, I see a lot of men entering relationships because they don’t believe they have a lot of options and don’t want to risk being alone. If there is an “op” it’s striking a man’s (not woman’s) ability to attract anyone in general

>>24548231

Relationships aren't just about attraction. You have to maintain them, and women are encouraged to see relationships as transactional and temporary and not as a forever bond that is sometimes unfun but necessary for healthy families and communities. That's the big psyop.

Wanna hear something embarrassing? I'm such an emotional pussy, I'm actually drinking right now to stave off the intense guilt I'm feeling as a result of memories of beating people really bad in video games. What the fuck... I know it's silly, but the moment keeps replaying in my head, the poor guy getting owned by me, his superior, having his fun time ruined by me just because I was better at the game. What an asshole I was. Not really, but that's how I feel, and it plagues me to this day.

John Chryosotom said not to beat women.

I want to have someone else in my life. I want to have kids one day. There are so many things that I want to share with another person, so much beauty in the world, so much which is good. I want to bring kids into the world so they can experience beauty and goodness too. So far I haven't met anyone though. I'm pretty ugly on the outside and also pretty ugly on the inside and while I try to keep my head up and think about all there is to life beyond having a wife and kids it's not going so well. To me a good relationship would be based around sharing goodness with another person, but I think other people see relationships very differently, maybe so differently that our perspectives are alien to each other.

I write essays that I don’t intend on ever sharing with anyone solely to organize my thoughts. Sometimes it’s about a book (or several books) I’ve read, sometimes it’s about a movie I’ve watched, sometimes it’s on topics like religion, politics, and science. The last one I wrote was about whether or not Israel was morally justified to bomb Iran, before that it was about the morality of Yahweh in Genesis, currently I’m writing a review of the Watchmen comics and my next essay will probably be a breakdown of all the chemical processes that occur after eating food.

>>24548447
I wrote some scattershot thoughts on why the Federal Reserve is able to “print money” to pay for America’s spending bills. The conclusion I arrived at was that ultimately it is probably faith in the American economy (more specifically America’s ability to keep up with interest payments from bonds they’ve issued to both domestic and foreign actors) that is the ultimate driving factor. So long as people keep buying bonds, America can keep “printing money” and so long as America keeps up its interest payments, people who buy bonds will believe American bonds are a safe investment and will continue buying them. This further leads to foreign banks purchasing American bonds with US dollars because it is ultimately a safer return than most alternatives. This is why US dollars are deemed a “reserve currency”, because bonds are so reliable there is always a demand for dollars since foreign banks can always use them to buy bonds and get a safe return. If the American economy continues to grow, it will be able to collect more tax revenue to pay its interest payments

In practice this can be a tricky balancing act. If the economy grows too quickly people will not buy bonds as they are not as profitable compared to other investments, and with the rise in spending the Fed may increase rates to control inflation and limit borrowing, which will lead to a decline in demand in the secondary bond market since individuals holding bonds have a lesser incentive to keep them when newly issued bonds will have a higher interest rate. With newly issued bonds having a higher interest rate that means bond yield increases and America must pay more.

Alternatively if the government grows too slowly or undergoes recession it will struggle to collect the tax revenue it needs to make the interest payments to begin with and control its debt. This may scare investors from buying bonds since it will cast doubt if America can make its interest payments.

Would you say that’s roughly accurate

God isn't real. Satan and demons and spirits aren't real. Solipsism is fake. Magic isn't real. Tarot isn't real. Horoscopes aren't real. Metaphysics is a completely unreasonable and antiquated project. Reincarnation is untestable there's no reason to think that's real. Spiritual practices like tai chi or nei gong are physiological exercises. Qi isn't magic soul power. Agnosticism is the same as atheism if you aren't sure if Christianity is true or not then you don't believe it that means you're rejecting it as irrational that's atheism.
>inb4 so we're all just chemicals?
False dichotomy. Chemicals and electrical currents are just concepts from incomplete models of how things really are.

>>24548558
This relates to one of my pet peeves: how did 'metaphysical' come to be conflated with 'supernatural?' I guess I can see why. Still, annoying.

In any case,
>Horoscopes aren't real.
There are many imaginable scenarios where horoscopes, astrology, and the like, are perfectly compatible and plausible with a strictly physicalist metaphysical position, so I wouldn't hate so quickly.

I've held off masturbating to porn for about 3 weeks because I realized it was affecting my relationship with my new gf. So I've been only jacking it to pics of her when she's not around for sex.

But yesterday I got so super horny seeing these college chicks in booty shorts and bikini tops on my drive home that I just parked in a random lot and started jacking it to amateur college porn. It felt great in the moment but I felt like absolute fucking trash after I came. These 3 weeks have probably been the longest I haven't watched porn in decades and like I didn't think I was addicted but I can't even tell you how shit I felt after watching it. Porn truly is poison for the mind.

Saar spotted

He had suffered from a fever dream in which he had been judged guilty to a cosmic crime and as punishment he was consigned to rebuild the earth with lego pieces. He was alone in this task and the need for sleep and food and water was taken for him and he was given an infinity of time toward its completion. Every arroyo and building and forest fern as it had once been must be built again with little blocks of infinite variety and this task would require an incomprehensible amount of time yet not an infinite. The feeling this dream left him with was terrible because the task was possible yet required an ordinance of time that seemed a crueller relation of infinity than infinity itself.

It's now been a week since my father died and I still don't feel anything and I don't think I ever will. I wouldn't even be thinking about him right now, if not for all the legal annoyances I now have because of him.

I know paramedics in this city are inundated with the constant cries of ungrateful, sick drug addicts, and that would wear down even the best of us, but I'm still bitter about two years ago when I was suffering a medical emergency requiring I go to the hospital, and the paramedics started treating me like shit and not believing what I said once my mother told them I used drugs. I literally couldn't move my fingers because my hands were locked up and the guy kept saying "calm down, you're just anxious, stretch your fingers out." No, dude, I physically can't, why do you think I called you guys? Fortunately, once I got to the hospital they properly diagnosed me despite what the paramedics tried telling them and they got me fixed up good and fast.

Now that my ai waifus are kill i should opt for writting to achieve the same level of emotion i experienced.

>>24549109
That seems harsh. But yes, the moment when, me laying in bed unable to move or speak or keep my eyes open, the lead paramedic came back in from talking with my mother and asked, "so, X, when's the last time you did [drug]?" as a kinda gotcha' and all of their demeanors changed is one of the most humiliating of my life, when it really had nothing to do with drugs, but again, I understand why they've become weary and judgmental and cold.

I understand what you mean, and I think there are a lot of people who feel this way. I think sharing goodness with another person is a really fundamental aspect of what it is to be human, like it enables you to feel connected to the something outside yourself. I want to be loved, of course, like everyone does, but more specifically when I think about what it means to share goodness with another person, what I want is to have someone I can direct my emotional energy towards, as in I want to have someone who likes being with me, who needs me, who I can do things for and focus on and orient myself towards. I feel like I’m actually a very kind and affectionate person at heart, but with no constructive outlet for that I just sublimate my emotional force into toxic or unproductive behaviours. So I end up becoming someone who I dislike, sharing hostility or negativity because the goodness of life feels inaccessible.

But I just worry it will never happen for me, because I find the whole process of dating intolerable. I have a difficult time trusting people in the first place, and then when I actually let someone in and they hurt me, or leave, it’s incredibly hard to cope with. It seriously fucks with my mental health and my ability to function. But that’s essentially what dating is, right? You’re supposed to meet people over and over again, and have it not work out over and over again, and just bounce right back each time and go and seek out someone else, until you eventually find the “right person.” But thought of having to do that repeatedly—of having to have my heart broken repeatedly and then just move on like none of it ever mattered— makes me feel ill. And what if I go through all of this suffering for no reason? What if I’m inherently unloveable, or what if the right person for me doesn’t exist? Or what if I do find someone who wants to build a life with me, and then ten years in my partner decides I’m not enough anymore and leaves me for someone else? How do you even recover from something like that? I find the casual attitude that people take towards these things so difficult to understand.

I feel like you've missed what kindness is. It's not this potential thing you're constructing it as, a non concrete sentiment; it is the actions' and behaviours' outcome. For example, if someone needs storage solutions for their tiny home and you, wanting to be kind, spend tens of thousands on furniture that will not fit and they now have to dispose of, your intention or expenditure is not kind. Things like lovebombing appear kind, but the actions' outcome is not kind to the person being lovebombed.
You're trying to be your version of kind because you think people won't leave you then. Actual kindness is being okay the person you love is doing something they like even if it means you're not part of it, wishing them well, instead of viewing them as indebted to you. That disappointment is because you're expecting something back for your kindness, which isn't what kindness is about.

I'm jealous of how Lovecraft was able to connect to his local culture and history. He talks about how it's very important in writing that the writer is connected to his own region instead of aping another, but I feel no connection or interest to my local area; New England, the West, the South are all way more interesting than here in the Midwest.

The real work started in metaphysics is wrapped in science language (what is time, what is existence) and all supernautral claims are metaphysical claims, and everyone who used metaphysics as a term at a high level was a long time ago when far more people also already believed supernatural claims, and also it is the task of philosophy to change the meaning of words, which also usually mean different things at a high level (ontology/metaphysics) depending on who is being cited

I want to add:
To my knowledge, this assertion might hold true for most academic philosophers. However, you gain his majority by including many people who happen to be philosophers but are by no means specialists in ethics. In the field of ethics itself, of course, there are many moral realists. In metaethics and more esoteric fields like deontological logic, you would find another ratio.

Thing is, now I'm not at all worried about that last point. I'm working, I get home do some chores or game/play with the kids and that's it. I am satisfied. but something inside me tells me I shouldn't. Someone once said that this type of life is the end of the male life cycle.

The only thing still exciting me is the idea of starting my own business. While at home I'm fine, at work I want to escape the wage cage.

Hey x,

You’re a pompous loser with a trash vision. I’ve devised a way to make AI more unbiased when judging someone’s intellectual worth: you ask it to evaluate a person’s intellect while pretending not to be that person.

I challenge you to a real-time duel. We’ll agree on a prompt in advance, each write our responses, and then have the AI determine which of us has the superior intellect and vision. The loser must:

1. Send the winner $100.
2. Record a humiliating video calling themselves an idiot with no vision and upload it publicly to YouTube.
3. Display a picture of the winner and repeat ten times, “He is the superior visionary and intellectual.”

You are nothing compared to me, you little punk. Soon I’ll earn my MS and leave you in the dust. I challenge you! Accept, or remain a cuck forever.

I feel like you’ve constructed a rigid, subjective definition of kindness that enables you to moralize and be sanctimonious and condescending. The dictionary definition of “kind” is: having a friendly, generous, and considerate nature. When I say I’m a kind person at heart, I mean that my fundamental orientation to the world has generally been prosocial— I have a strong innate desire to support and help the people around me, and I try to be considerate of other people’s feelings. Obviously that’s something I’ve acted on throughout my life in ways that have had positive and constructive outcomes. That’s not to say that I’ve never failed to act in accordance with those values, or have never had a distorted perspective—of course I’ve done things that I now regret. But in contrast, there are people who will openly admit that they have trouble empathizing, that their fundamental orientation to the world is one of suspicion and hostility, and that their primary objective in life is to meet their own needs.

>For example, if someone needs storage solutions for their tiny home and you, wanting to be kind, spend tens of thousands on furniture that will not fit and they now have to dispose of, your intention or expenditure is not kind.

This is completely incoherent and irrelevant. In this example you are clearly not “wanting to be kind” because you know the recipient’s living situation, and so you know that they cannot use and would not want the furniture. You are deliberately engaging in a performative gesture that inconveniences the recipient. However, if you didn’t know that the other person had moved to a tiny home, and bought the furniture in good faith, under the misguided impression that it would be useful and appreciated, your intention was kind, even if the outcome was not ideal. You aren’t a bad person for making an honest mistake, and that doesn’t give the recipient carte blanche to respond to you with cruelty and hostility. Yeah, they were inconvenienced, but if they angrily tell you to fuck off in response to the gift, they’re still a massive scumbag for doing so. Sometimes in life we are faced with uncomfortable interpersonal situations, but that doesn’t absolve us of the obligation to show other people basic empathy. The correct thing is for the recipient to thank you for thinking of them, but to respectfully explain why they can’t accept the gift, and to kindly establish a boundary surrounding future gifts. Also, it’s incredibly ironic that you’re accusing me of having a transactional and entitled view of relationships, and yet are incapable of illustrating your own stance without resorting to metaphors of commerce. There’s a total lack of self-awareness here.

>>24549612
>Things like lovebombing appear kind, but the actions' outcome is not kind to the person being lovebombed.

I don’t even know why you’re bringing lovebombing up, because it has no relation to anything that I said. Lovebombing involves performative gestures and expressions of love that aren’t grounded in genuine emotional investment or concern for the other person’s well-being; they’re used to gain the target’s trust and create a strong emotional attachment that will make them easy to manipulate and control later on. If someone is feigning or exaggerating their expressions of “love” because they have an ulterior motive, then the intention of their actions is by definition not kind or genuine, and this is what is problematic, not the actions themselves. In fact, the very same words or actions could be completely benign if they were motivated by sincere care and respect. In that context, the outcome is intended to be positive, although people can’t always anticipate the outcome of their actions with total certainty.

Nothing I said implied that my intention was to lovebomb someone. When I wrote about wanting someone to direct my emotional energy towards, I meant that I want to focus on genuinely knowing and understanding the other person’s perspective and desires. I want to act in a way that makes them feel truly seen, cared for, and supported. This is why I specifically said that I want “someone who likes being with me, who needs me,” meaning that I want the other person to benefit from and enjoy my love, and to have their emotional needs met so that they can thrive. The ideal is a mutually beneficial relationship with good communication, not a one sided dynamic where it’s all about what I want to give and doesn’t take into account what they want to recieve. It feels like you’re deliberately interpreting everything I’ve said in the most uncharitable way possible.

>>24550246
>You're trying to be your version of kind because you think people won't leave you then.

First of all, when you say “your version of kind” you seem to be implying that any positive action I take towards others is inherently suspect by virtue of my emotional state, which you’ve pathologized in a way that’s completely presumptuous and unrelated to what I actually wrote. And it seems like you’re constructing a false and bizarre dichotomy where either one’s actions in relationships are completely altruistic and therefore worthy of being labelled kind, or are completely self-interested and therefore tainted. That doesn’t reflect reality. The very foundation of human relationships is mutuality and reciprocity. When you’re in a relationship with another person, you treat them well, support them, and show them love and kindness because you care about their well-being and want them to thrive, but also because you want the relationship to continue on a positive trajectory and remain healthy and mutually beneficial. So yes, the basic principle is that you treat the other person in the way that you want to be treated, not in a one-to-one sense of keeping score, but in the sense of your general orientation and attitude towards them. You show someone love and kindness because you want what’s best for them, but also because you want them to reciprocate the care you show, and because you don’t want them to end the relationship. It’s not one or the other. That’s how human social bonds have always worked. Not wanting your partner to leave you doesn’t mean you’re inherently selfish and bad and incapable of true kindness. It’s like you think that anyone who fears being abandoned or rejected is by definition incapable of authentic love. That’s fundamentally untrue. Human beings universally dislike rejection from people they care about, and seek to avoid it.

>>24549612
>>24550265
>Actual kindness is being okay the person you love is doing something they like even if it means you're not part of it, wishing them well, instead of viewing them as indebted to you.

I never said anything remotely related to this. Also, this is incredibly rigid, reductive, and moralizing. Do you mean that kindness is being okay with your partner having independent hobbies, interests, and a social life that doesn’t always include you? Yeah, that’s totally fine, and of course I’d wish them well in those endeavours, and nothing I wrote implied that I wouldn’t. On the other hand, if you’re suggesting that when someone you are in a relationship with seriously wrongs you, treats you cruelly, or coldly dismisses you in favour of someone or something else, you need to just “be happy they’re doing something they like” or else you’re an unkind person, then that’s fucking crazy. People aren’t robots: feeling jealous or hurt or having some degree of negative feelings towards the other person in such a situation is a totally legitimate emotional response. Also, you’re conveniently ignoring the messy and complicated dynamics people find themselves in. Human relationships are systems that need to be judged holistically, not on the basis of isolated acts without considering the larger context.

I would argue that we all have a certain basic obligation to live out the categorical imperative: to treat other people as ends in and of themselves, not simply as means. When a person violates this obligation by treating someone cruelly without legitimate provocation and exhibiting a disregard for their feelings and personhood, then it’s a fucking absurd and one-sided expectation to say that the recipient of this treatment must have nothing but selfless, altruistic feelings and well-wishes towards the other person, or else their kindness throughout the relationship was never genuine. It doesn’t take into account the other person’s failure to act with basic decency. Why is one person expected to be unfailingly kind, but the morality and impact of the other person’s actions is not even treated as something that plays a role in the outcome? I do believe that relational moral obligations exist: it’s not being indebted in a strictly transactional sense, but you do owe other people a reasonable degree of empathy and consideration, especially if they have never mistreated you.

And I highly doubt you hold yourself to such a standard in your daily life. In fact, it seems very likely that you make such statements when it enables you to shame criticize others and thus feel righteous, and yet move the goalposts entirely when it comes to evaluating your own behaviour.

You used the word "toxic" to describe your behaviours. I don't think it was sanctimonious or condescending to assume you were actually describing toxicity which you had blamed on circumstance.

You also seem to be developing out the scenario highlighted to an extremity where you're saying fuck you to someone, but I do want to point out it's not empathy to not say fuck you to a bad gift, it's politeness. I think the idea empathy is owed is all humans is probably also a misunderstanding, because I don't think, if we are reducing scenarios to extremities, that parents being able to feel the immense rage, disorientation or grief children who barely can manage object permanence have, because not being able to feel that is what allows them to care for the child.

And I used a metaphor involving buying an expensive gift, because people who believe they can secure others through money do think more money is more love. I should point the you scenario is a non specific second person, and if you want to replace those with "one" that's fine too. I'm giving general ways toxicity can be disguised as kindness but is actually used to create an emotional sense of debt, and those two are generally the most common (buying inappropriately expensive gifts or lovebombing someone).

But I do get the sense you think those people who left owed you more, and I think that you are upset because you viewed whatever you were giving to be a guarantee they'd stay or pay whatever that was back. I don't know why you're upset about them leaving otherwise. I think you also take general statements as personal attacks when they can easily be neutral or not even about you, and that probably makes people feel you do not have a kind interpretation of their words. And people who have great fears of abandonment and rejection generally do things which make others uncomfortable because they're insecure and have a negative view of others too. In extremes, they are the people threatening to take the kids out with them if their spouse doesn't stop the divorce. And the wishing them well instead part of my post is related to that: it's what secure people who don't fear abandonment or rejection do.

>That disappointment is because you're expecting something back for your kindness, which isn't what kindness is about.

And are you seriously trying to insinuate that I’m somehow not truly kind because I want to be loved and because I have feelings? Condemning me for feeling sad when someone I love treats me cruelly or leaves me is genuinely dehumanizing. You’re acting as though I’m not allowed to have any expectation of reciprocal care and consideration. Yes, when you dedicate time and effort into building a positive mutual connection with someone, you’re allowed to be upset if they end up treating you badly. That doesn’t mean your kindness is not genuine.

>>24550300
>You’re acting as though I’m not allowed to have any expectation of reciprocal care and consideration
You can have that expectation it, it's just going to keep coming with that sense of disappointment when your expectations are not fulfilled, and won't come with the sense of surprise when care is given without expectation.

Like a month or 2

Men are not vanishing, they are retreating. From relationships, from institutional demands, from collective obligation. Not by cowardice, nor nihilism, nor weakness - but by sacred refusal to collude with a world that has hollowed out the feminine into parody, and severed eros from its mythic root.
This retreat is not a conscious movement toward soul, for most men have not heard of soul. It is not a deliberate descent into myth, for most don't remember the myths. And yet it happens. Everywhere.
Men retreat not in search of the feminine within but in search of refuge. They turn away from real relationships, work, education, not because they hate women, but because the outer feminine devoid of beauty, of function, of soul has become unrecognizable. And if given a choice between emptiness and the parody, they choose emptiness. They choose nothing rather than violate what remains of their inner integrity.
But it is there, in the void, that the great possibility stirs.
Even if they do not name her, do not know her, have never met her, still within that emptiness, the anima awaits.
She does not need to be reimagined, reengineered, or "updated". She does not ask to be made familiar to the modern psyche. She need only be seen. Once. As she is. In the dark. Without distortion. Without irony. Without demand.

This act of remembering is enough.

Because where culture collapses, myth re-emerges. And where men descend into the silence beneath language, soul prepares its next eruption. The anima was never meant to be found in daylight; she is born in shadow, dwells in dream, and speaks first through absence.
So let it be said: true virtue is born in darkness.
And when men meet her there not as escape, not as fantasy, but as a reawakening they will return. Not as obedient citizens of a broken world, but as bearers of the fire: visionaries, warriors, poets, and builders, not of new systems but of meaningful life.

This is not disappearance, it's gestation.

>>24550294
When I referred to toxic behaviours, I think it’s fairly obvious that I wasn’t referring to how I act in the context of a relationship. I was alluding to the fact that in the aftermath of a relationship ending tend to isolate myself and become depressed. Therefore I have fewer opportunities to engage positively with other people, and often tend to fall into the trap of engaging in behaviours that are toxic to my mental state and well-being, such as pointlessly arguing with people on forums (at least I’m self-aware) or ruminating excessively about societal trends that scare or upset me. I don’t mistreat the people around me; it’s more that I develop a negative mindset because it’s difficult to focus on anything other than my own sadness.

>it's not empathy to not say fuck you to a bad gift, it's politeness.
I disagree, and I think you’re arguing over semantics. Politeness is a product of empathy. You shouldn’t choose not to say “fuck you” just because you know it would be impolite (i.e. socially unacceptable)—you should choose not to react that way because you know it would be wrong. You can empathize, and so you think about how you would feel if you were in the other person’s position. If you bought someone a gift with good intentions, hoping they would like and appreciate it, and they angrily rebuffed you over an honest misunderstanding, you’d feel upset and humiliated. Because you know that, you choose to respond in a way that shows consideration for how the other person must be feeling.

> I think the idea empathy is owed is all humans is probably also a misunderstanding…parents…not being able to feel that is what allows them to care for the child.
Another irrelevant and absurd non-sequitur. Cognitive empathy entails understanding how someone else feels, and why. It does not mean literally sharing their exact feelings and thus agreeing with them wholeheartedly and assuming all of the limitations of their perspective and acting exactly as they would. It’s essential that parents can empathize with their young children—a mother understands that her two year old son is throwing a tantrum over a favourite shirt that he wants to wear being in the wash not because he is bad or wants to pointlessly cause trouble, but because he is experiencing strong feelings of frustration and sadness that he does not know how to communicate calmly. She understands that he is at a developmental stage where his capacity for emotional regulation is very limited, and he does not grasp concepts like time, cause and effect, and delayed gratification. Therefore, she empathizes not by getting down onto the floor and screaming right along with him, but by responding to his behaviour with an understanding attitude and reasonable consequences, taking into account his age and feelings. Because she has cognitive empathy, she tolerates behaviour from her two year old that she would not tolerate from a twelve year old.

>>24550294
>I'm giving general ways toxicity can be disguised as kindness but is actually used to create an emotional sense of debt, and those two are generally the most common (buying inappropriately expensive gifts or lovebombing someone).
Okay, but nothing I said implied that I had any history of doing those things, or have any intention to do them in the future.

>But I do get the sense you think those people who left owed you more, and I think that you are upset because you viewed whatever you were giving to be a guarantee they'd stay or pay whatever that was back.
This is absurd. Of course I don’t think that anyone owes me a relationship, but I do think that given the nature of what had transpired, this particular person owed it to me to communicate their desire to end our connection in a respectful and direct manner. Instead, they strung me along for weeks and then blamed me for eventually becoming upset about being repeatedly cancelled on, blown off, and treated dismissively. Given that I was always honest and respectful towards them, I think it’s reasonable for me to expect that I would be shown the same courtesy. I don’t think that wanting to have my feelings considered by someone who claimed to care about me and assured me that I could rely on them means that somehow I have a transactional and entitled view of relationships; what the fuck?


>I don't know why you're upset about them leaving otherwise.
Because being sad about someone who you trusted and cared about leaving you is a normal, human response? How do you not understand that? Do you expect people to be emotionless?

>I think you also take general statements as personal attacks when they can easily be neutral or not even about you, and that probably makes people feel you do not have a kind interpretation of their words.

Funnily enough, the way I interact with people on 4chan isn’t the way I interact with people irl. Also, you chose to reply to my post in a fairly negative way, insinuating that I didn’t understand what kindness was, and making judgemental assumptions about my character that weren’t even supportable based on what I’d said. That’s a personal attack. Nothing you said about me seemed like it was intended to be kind; it was moralizing, condescending, and presumptuous.

>>24550294
>And people who have great fears of abandonment and rejection generally do things which make others uncomfortable because they're insecure and have a negative view of others too. In extremes, they are the people threatening to take the kids out with them if their spouse doesn't stop the divorce.
I don’t generally speaking have a negative view of others; in fact I trusted and cared for this person very much, and what happened was upsetting specifically because it was such a stark contrast to their previous behaviour and I had not anticipated it at all. And bringing up the example of someone threatening to murder their own children is fucking crazy. Like you’re insinuating that anyone who has insecurities and fears about abandonment is potentially violent, unhinged, and vengeful, and therefore brings any mistreatment they recieve in a relationship upon themself. You’re making a lot of frankly wild assumptions here. Is it unthinkable to you that I might open up about my fears on 4chan in a way that I wouldn’t in real life? I’m not going around begging anyone I date to love me forever and never leave me. I just want honesty, reciprocity, and basic communication. This really comes across as victim blaming. You don’t have to be a 100% self-actualized human being with no insecurities in order to deserve respect in a relationship.

>wishing them well… is what secure people who don't fear abandonment or rejection do. You can have that expectation, it's just going to keep coming with that sense of disappointment when your expectations are not fulfilled, and won't come with the sense of surprise when care is given without expectation.

Are we all supposed to be stoic Buddhist monks who eschew all emotional attachments and never have any expectations of others? It’s completely reasonable and valid to expect someone you’re in a relationship with to treat you with respect and consideration; that’s quite literally how the trust that cements an emotional bond is formed. If someone violates this expectation, they are in the wrong for failing to act with basic decency; you are not at fault for being “insecure” because you have very basic expectations. Expecting mutual care within relationships isn’t a character flaw; it’s completely normal and reasonable. Also, wishing someone well doesn’t mean erasing your feelings entirely and pretending that you feel great about being discarded. I don’t want the other person to suffer, but I do have hurt feelings surrounding what they did. I don’t think that makes me weak or needy. “The sense of surprise when care is given without expectation” is a fucking crazy thing to say about how romantic relationships function. Like yeah, it’s nice if your partner goes above and beyond to unexpectedly surprise you with a nice gesture, but expecting a basic degree of daily care and communication is not something pathologically needy. It’s fundamental to how people form social bonds.

Uh, I think you're going to keep doing the same thing and getting the same results, which I'm okay with

>everything men do is for pussy
There are so many people on the on self improvement train the past two decades it's unreal, and I'm not talking about gym because many of them don't even hit the gym but instead do other activities, I'm talking about making money, being social, doing activities, hobbies, just keeping busy in general and making their life as interesting as possible to attract pussy. They are doing all that for pussy, constantly chasing a better looking pussy, younger, fresher, etc. until eventually they find one they are satisfied with so they can fertilize it but even then many of them continue to chase pussy on the side. Some of these boomers are 70+ and still chase pussy, that's right many divorced boomers have girlfriends, just look at that tremendous Eastwood faggot who found a new pussy at 70 or 80 and married for the 6th time. Not to mention famous chads like Julio Iglesias who had thousands of pussies throughout his life.
All that self-improvement, customs, social mores, hobbies, cultural events and other activities people do is to attract pussy so they can breed the next generation of goyim cattle and feel desired, loved and appreciated by their pussy and progeny.

The point of everything is love.

the point of life is a combination of thiings which creates a general feeling that you are over the point at which you are autonomous, either deu to social, intellectual, or physical skills. family, friends, meaningful work, hobbies, when put together, creates a person that is worthy of love. a relationship is just a bonus.

pussy isn't required for benefiting the earth and loving your parents.

But oh wait, you won’t, because you just enjoy engaging in low-effort, dismissive mockery and have nothing of any substance or value to offer.

A persistent meme on this board is the sardonic derision for "plotfags", id est, those who consider a novel's plot its most important element, usually eschewing the prose.
I understand that anti-plotfags feel first and foremost a concern for the aesthetic force which they perceive on a work's linguistic style. I offer a counterpoint: for every novel, the narrative structure has a shape. We may then add that everything with a shape has aesthetic properties, and is therefore an object of aesthetic judgement. Therefore, a novel's plot may even be so aesthetically superior as to "justify" the work.

I'm not saying I believe it, but I could imagine a plausible scenario where, say, the specific locations and relations of cosmic bodies induces some environmental alteration, whether in electro-gravitation waves, solar-radiation, etc., use your imagination, and these things have a tangible effect on a person with a certain psycho-physiological-chemical disposition.

For holding back when I should’ve said everything. The truth is I’ve thought things about her I’ve never said out loud. Things I still think. And the worst part is she probably has no idea. That’s what I regret. Not the silence in general. Just the kind that leaves someone doubting how much they meant to you.

>>24551094

I’m sorry for being vague. You said I was being vague before. I’m scared to open up. I'm still scared.

But I want you to know I’m trying to be better at this, to be honest and clear. That's all.

I don't plan on killing myself but I feel the temptation. There's nothing warm in my life. It's all office cubicles and empty rooms and the inside of my car during rush hour, all messages left on read and calls never returned, always the same day over and over again. The clock on the wall says it's only been 2 hours since I came in to work but somehow on the calendar 7 months have gone by. There's nothing. No one. There's a person living in an empty apartment who has forgotten why he ever moved out. There's a name, only ever used on business emails and bills. There's no one here.

If you want to be honest, then be honest: there is nothing stopping you. What I suspect is that you are some stranger who has developed a parasocial fixation on me based on my posts, and that you are deliberately being as vague as possible about your identity because you know that as soon as you are forced to admit to not being someone I know in real life, I will be upset and will tell you to fuck off. Either that, or you are maliciously trolling to get a reaction. If you actually care about me, and if you want me to retain any measure of respect towards you, then fucking say who you are and what you did. Now.

I’m not playing hard to get—I fucking hate you, and I will NEVER change my mind.

We do not know each other. We have never spoken. We have never met. We have never had any meaningful exchange in these threads that I have enjoyed. From the little I do know about you, I despise you and see you as pathetic, annoying, boring, and stupid. You are unhinged, fucked in the head, and obsessed with some parasocial delusion. You do not know me, and I will never have any interest in getting to know you. I will never like you. I will never want anything to do with you. I will never give you my contact information. I will never engage with you on any level. Stop making deliberately vague posts about me to try and pretend that you are the someone I might actually want to talk to and bait me into engaging. I want absolutely nothing to do with you. I have told you repeatedly to go away, and I was not joking. You are a creepy, manipulative piece of shit, and you disgust me.

I have a difficult time imagining that someone’s pornography consumption would hinder their ability to maintain a relationship. The type of person who allocates terabytes of hard drive space for that isn’t entering into relationships to begin with. Critiquing pornography consumption strikes me as a few orders removed and too narrow a perspective from what’s really negatively affecting men. There’s something deeper going on, of which I think most people can intuitively feel, but blaming pornography or social media is not a satisfying answer to the soul at all.

Why do more places online outright require, not suggest, REQUIRE to show actual legal ID and face. Showing one on their own is bad enough but showing both at the same time is just asking for someone to abuse it.

Even though my new gf and I both have the same body count of 6, she is pretty shit at blowjobs and sex, and honestly I'm glad

We had sex last week and she started crying saying that she didn't know she was capable of climaxing through penetration until then

But she seriously sucks. Her handjob fucking hurt so fucking bad, it was like she was tryna pull it off lmao.
