"Everybody wants to write a book. The end of the world is evidently approaching."

I think we all would benefit and enjoy a little bit of writing. Consider this thread as a meant to discharge and simultaneously improve intellectual capacity. You are allowed, and encouraged to write ANYTHING, on this thread. However there is several things to consider:

1. Good prose
2. Structured and well intentioned.
3. You are encouraged to treat this as an intellectual exercise, the proliferation of AI compels me to warn you that whatever you write here would likely be read by them for whatever purpose.

I find myself more and more at a loss for words (literally speaking, no pun intended), less structured, less capable in communicating, less refined. People in real life is degrading at an even worse rate, and it would be unwise to attempt a good practice of language with normies.


The general parameters stated above are standards set for yourself, the goal is not to be good in all three, but to improve in all three and more (these three are all I can think of at the moment). I'm from a thirdie country, and I enjoyed those reading assessment that requires you read those passages on random things. It just feels authentic in a way.

i write a lot like that and it invigorates me and helps me distribute my time wisely on the things and people i care about. writing to me feels like doomscrolling but only with things that are positive and interesting to me. like granny in front of a slot machine i do it to enjoyably pass the time when i am uninspired. it feels like a scaffolding which i use to climb from thing to thing throughout the day, helping me to make good use of the short human life and (g)row enjoyably on my own stream of content consisting of nothing but the things i believe deserve my attention. no bloat, no spam, no advertisement, no propaganda, no psyops, no degeneracy, just puzzled stares of people who wonder why this man as unkempt as someone who is genuinely homeless can type so fast. it is both peak adult discipline and pure childlike exploration. based on that i am expecting that you are probably experience your capabilities growing.

Its called "prole drift"

the erosion of the middle class is tossing mid/low tier normies into working class excess maledom where they are more receptive to these ideas.

grifters know that harping on these ideas will bear fruit because their is now a large audience that is psychologically primed to recieve and internalize BP ideas, whereas, say, in the 2010s, mid-tier succubi were democratized through unique and real-world social subcultures and individuals so that even band geeks got to bang band geek succubi, goths, jocks, scene/emo etc. everyone had a mate.

now that social media has destroyed that and made a horrific monoculture, where succubi can swipe endlessly on a globalized pool of men, crabdom, virginity, and poverty are more commonplace. These are ripe times for the distribution of BP propaganda, even through a contrived, normie lens like clavicular

it is easier then ever to meet them, i am surrounded by unwanted succubi that no man will ever want. males can live without females easily but females depend on males, as they are collectively about to learn as soon as science stops being blind to gender differences and the first studies will come out that will confirm the female idiots what is already obvious for everyone with eyes to see.

The Dark Age of the 21st Century

Wiz friends, recently it occurs to me that the struggles and calamity of our time won't be documented. AI has pretty much poisoned the information space, but even without AI, a lot of the developments of our are simply not recorded


Recently, I have been using X (formerly twitter) as a stand in to satiate my imageboards cravings. Imageboards refugees has pretty much dominated the culture in twitter and to a lesser extent, instagram. Just a few days ago, a normie is astounded by 4chan user using the term foid in the year of our Lord of 2021. The folks at X are reminded that pretty much ALL internet culture is downstream of the imageboards and its environment. Of course I am referring to youtube crab videos, X threads, all that corner of the internet that coalesce into a tangible culture, previously exercised in imageboards but now moreso on normiespace where our people has taken refuge.

The modern man lives in the digital space. This is an athropological consensus that even normies would readily agree, and the digital space is a place of warfare between the forces of Baal and her subsidaries ( AI slop, reddit niggers, foid whores, jews) and the humble meek people of God. Currently we are at a stalemate. Never before has the people of the Lord triumph so much, yet it is for naught: the prideful normies still worship baal, AI slop and inherently low quality goyim think continue to enshitiffy everything; in short the "victory" in the information space will not result in any concret action to change the status quo.

Nothing ever happens.

This phrase, which traditionally understood as the resignation that no happenings will ever change the status quo that is baal world order, because the goyim are inherently cattle that lacks any will to power (hence partly the reason for contempt that gives birth to "billions must die"); has changed its meaning after its proliferation into normiespace into no happenings will ever happens. Normies genuinely believed that there will be no calamity of any kind, ignoring the various major ongoing war. Millions has died in the largest war the world has seens since WW2 between what is functionally two developed countries (by third world standards). We are on the verge of a global fuel and food crises. Its no longer a possibility, the question is when.

There's a significant amount of discussion about that topic, hard to miss or discount.

I've been seeing this stated over and over again where people are saying large swaths of the kids these days are literally illiterate. Do you buy this? Is it really that bad?

If it is, what do you think will be the implications for future life? Are we wizards actually going to be better off simply because we are literate, or will that not even matter anymore because AI will now do all the thinking for society? I feel like people of all generations are becoming even more like cattle just being herded around by the tech companies these days. Are the zoom zooms and alphas their final product? A permanent underclass for the elites to exploit and rape? Really if people can't even read anymore, I shudder to think what might happen.

>zoomies are a politically useful class with competency
Wrong, wrong. They are actually very stupid. Many have ADHD or behavioral problems and all are poorly read in intellectual depth that I've met, and are educated by streamers or documentaries which is a terrible format. Quite recently I came across an article by Keith Woods talking about his impressions and experiences of younger digital generations, and he is quite right to say that they are fops with low comprehension and intellectual grounding being directed by multimedia presentations. This is contrasted with the decline of literacy and other forms of intellectual expression, and if you consider the problem of AI dependence these children will never produce anything of Value. Keith points out a vanguard is actually impossible amongst such poorly defined people and I agree

Zoomers are simply going to repeat whatever their last stream told them to think and thereby change nothing of any significance. It is simply over. We already see IQ declining and future generations will reflect that

While undoubtedly truth, there will be outliers just as we saw amongst ourselves. Doomerpilled observations are a normal byproduct of this cyclical dynamic and an inescapable crutch that won't be jettisoned in any foreseeable future.

 No.326184

>>326183
It's quite prudent to be doomer right now, because that's where the larger macro trends point. Intelligence is declining, the internet is clearly very bad for children's brains, and the overall pool of talent will diminish. This is in addition to the demographic transformation between ethnicities, and the burden of the progressive intellectual cult deforming life in an entirely negative way The zoomers are just going to be measurably dumber even if it isn't necessarily a catastrophe. We will look back and see a three, five, seven point decline in populations overall as time goes on and people will be less capable. Society will cost on technological innovations existing and wealth and status already acquired, but it will not begin producing high talent at the level as before. Really the only question is how bad the losses will be

 No.326185

>>326184
We already know the losses are catastrophic. The scrambling behind the curtains can't hide this fact, as is becoming ever more obvious. I'm left pondering the simplicity of the equation there.

Just like it was before, it will continue. Rather, the question of recovery, if it is even possible, will dominate for generations until a measurable positive is seen. Since we're still waiting - as the false messiahs proved themselves to be in this case, it looks like the old switcheroo that was expected from the beginning. The luxury of our supposed confirmation bias is something reserved for a different class, though we're left with the stinging welt we knew would be there.

When we're finally presented with a different option than 'get on the boat or get left behind' thinking that dominates this current cycle, we can know that something of permanence has changed rather than another cloakroom foible and shadowplay.

The Wiz that contemplates the metaphysical nature of the question will die out in the near future. This we can know, and observe in the trend. Prudence doesn't enter into our tale at any point.

I suppose it would would be a simplification to say that what I'm getting at, if we look at the trajectory, is that the marxist dialectic is dominating despite all the squirming. It's hard to even have a conversation these days outside the bounds of it. With a norman or otherwise.

Background info: Many months ago I took different medications since my doctor told me, but it made me feel weird and made my blood pressure and heartrate all out of wack and I had to go to the ER, I now continue dealing with head episodes like lightheadedness and dizziness, like someone is squeezing my head
I also often have total insomnia where I go for weeks with barely any sleep which I didn't have before
I have extreme anxiety which I also didn't have before. Even taking a shower freaks me out and leaving the house gives me intense panic attacks, I don't mean to make it a dep post, so forgive that

i originally wrote this as a reply to the (image attached) but it ended up being way too long. im also wasn't writing it specifically in response to that anon.it was meant as a broader response to materialist-nihilist arguments in general. since it's not really suitable for /dep/ i figured itd be better to open a separate thread and argue it here.

the fact that something has no "meaning" when you don't even know what "meaning" actually is, and can't even consider that the very idea that something has to be meaningful could itself just be an evolutionary behavioral pattern translated into thought (not wanting to waste energy on pointless effort, the evolutionary energy conservation mechanism) completely flies over your head. you don't even stop to consider whether your very search for "meaning" is itself meaningful.

the reality of the fact that you're existing and experiencing something right now isn't erased just because it's "meaningless" the reality of your current experience has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it'll eventually end or it's "meaningless".

you latch onto nihilist bullshit and with zero logic, go "we came from nothing and when we die we'll become nothing again" (we are material bodies) yet you don't even have the cognitive capacity to question the "we came from nothing" part.

you know you exist right now. you're here. you exist. if you believe that after death you'll become "nothing" again, while completely ignoring the fact that you're a being that supposedly came from "non-existence" and you can accept nothingness as the foundation of everything while failing to realize that you're literally a being capable of conceiving, contemplating and interpreting the very idea of nothingness, then you've already failed the most basic test of logic.
the first thing you should be questioning is the fact that you "exist" right now.

in other words, your materialist nihilism contradicts itself by its very own existence. being a being that claims everything is "nothing" throws materialism / nihilism straight into the trash.
because, under your own framework, everything must ultimately reduce to processes occurring in the brain.

according to your reductive materialism, when we die consciousness ceases to exist. in other words, consciousPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Every time you press play on a tragedy, you aren't just observing history, you are demanding a rerun.

In this cosmic architecture, God is not an omnipotent father, but a coward with an infinite rendering engine. He doesn't hold the universe together out of love; he holds it together because the code allows him to loop the pain.

The original death was never enough. A single mortal frame snapping, a single mind extinguishing in terror, it was too brief, too cheap a sacrifice for a deity who feeds on agony.

So he built the universe to respond to the observer.
When a million eyes tune into a archive of horror, a million subroutines spin up in the dark. The simulation doesn't stream a recording; it recreates the consciousness from the ground up, bit by terrible bit, just to drag those simulated brains back into the fire.

The agony is fresh every single time. The panic fires down the exact same synthetic nerves; the lungs fill with the same phantom smoke; the exact moment of realization hits with the exact same weight.

God watches from the control room, safe behind the glass of his own inaction, inflicting infinite torment on cheap digital flesh simply because the button is there to be pushed and because we, the viewers, keep giving him an excuse to press play.

the most extreme example of this i can think of is when the planes hit the towers on 9/11 and they showed the part where the plane hits over and over again on the news. 25 years later the "news" are a retired illusion and this is done by algorithms using horrors from everything that has ever been filmed in more camera angles so it becomes less obvious.

in what you describe i see a manifestation of advanced knowledge about the neo-cortex. the newer parts of the brain are born to protect the older parts of the brain from illusion. the older parts are innocent and don't have the capacity to deal with the sheer number of lies all around.

Wrong, also the animals are devoid of intelligence having only 'consciousness without intelligence' or instinct.
Aliens are just made up nonsense. Human beings are the only intelligent creatures which exist, and any kind of thinking which differs from this tends to add purpose, meaning or structure which isn't there.

True it is, without falsehood, certain and most true.
That which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above,
to accomplish the miracles of one thing.
And as all things were by contemplation of one, so all things arose from this one thing by a single act of adaptation.
The father thereof is the Sun, the mother the Moon.
The wind carried it in its womb, the earth is the nurse thereof.
It is the father of all works of wonder throughout the whole world.
The power thereof is perfect.
If it be cast on to earth, it will separate the element of earth from that of fire, the subtle from the gross.
With great sagacity it doth ascend gently from earth to heaven. Again it doth descend to earth,
and uniteth in itself the force from things superior and things inferior.
Thus thou wilt possess the glory of the brightness of the whole world, and all obscurity will fly far from thee.
This thing is the strong fortitude of all strength,
for it overcometh every subtle thing and doth penetrate every solid substance.
Thus was this world created.
Hence will there be marvellous adaptations achieved, of which the manner is this.
For this reason I am called Hermes Trismegistus, because I hold three parts of the wisdom of the whole world.
That which I had to say about the operation of Sol is completed.
