Anyone else here avoid listening to music and avoid watching videos of any kind if they contain a succubus in a leading role?
I can't watch Hollywood movies because they always deliberately put succubi in symbolically high positions. It infuriates me.

There's propaganda from both sides everywhere all the time, it's only the matter of which side has recently got its hands on more resources and is stealthier about it. I meant, how exactly does one go against the dogma, what do you expect the authors to change in their comic books?

>Ok so what I understand is that you don't actually mean mind-independent objectivity
You don't understand what it means to say that something is mind-independently true and existing. Refer to the second, more obvious definition used.

>Do we agree that value exists only where there is a subject to ascribe it?

I don't even understand what you're trying to say.

>If that's the case then objectivity is mind-dependent but refers to external facts rather than internal facts(feelings etc)

You don't know what objectivity means and your reasoning is incoherent.

>Then it is indeed "objectively better to be knowledgeable than ignorant, and so on". But it is also objectively better to be beautiful than ugly.

What does it means to say that someone is beautiful? It means that they are sexually attractive. That's what beauty of persons is according to the most usual definition. This kind of "beauty" obviously cannot be objective by the very definition of what it is.

>Beauty does have positive objective value simply by virtue of appealing to the senses and inciting a positive response.

Again, you don't know what "objective" means and you're reasoning incoherently. It doesn't follow at all that it is "objectively positive" because it appeals to the senses.

Your precious diarrhea of FPSs, MMORPGs and RTSs exists only and exclusively to make money and your beloved video game companies will do anything to increase the money stream. If pandering to some rabid feminists can extend their userbase by succubi who actually pay attention to that crapp, they will do that and there's nothing you can do about it.

You are downplaying the role that ideology has on media. People who find themselves in the position to create such content aren't an ideologically neutral bunch, they are usually part of or heavily influenced by the intelligentsia of a society.

How can people be genuinely this happy all the time?

Also I generally dont like youtube attentionwhores, but I find this guy to be different in the fact he doesnt engage in jumpcuts, foul language, or other normie behavior, and just talks about food mostly, with no succubi except in the background. You know what you are getting with this guy. I find his videos relaxing, but I also want to know why he is so happy all the time and hoped wizards may have some insight.

he seems to just have a super food fixation and it's his job to make youtube videos about him eating it, so it makes sense he is happy. he literally found his dream job and probably spends his freetime filling his bathtub with food because he is the king of food

some people have his expression when they cover themselves in shit or something else strange, like their happiness seems odd in relation to whatever they are doing and i think it's mostly because they have an unusual fixation or hobby to start with

As soon as my parents die(And they are 70s and smoke) I will net an inheritance of 200k. I hope nobody thinks i'm bragging here, it's not like i'll be using the money for normie purposes. I cant tell you how excited I am to realize that neetdom is potentially within my grasp.

Anyways, the inheritance will be from selling the house and everything else. I know near surefire ways of safe longterm investments in the stock market that will net me about 3% of interest per year. This would lead me with around 6k a year, just living off of interest. Which equals $500 USD a month. If something goes wrong I will simply use my inheritance to fly back to the USA. Would I be able to live in thailand for this amount of money?

Unless you run the AC constantly you never ever dry out and neither does anything else.

- heat rash from being constantly bathed in sweat and sweat-sodden clothes sticking to you
- you can't actually dry off after a shower
- still hot as fuck and sweaty in the "cool" season (I can't believe they call it that)
- the "cool" season is still much hotter than summer somewhere else
- constant influx of cockroaches and other bugs into your house
- have to be anal about cleaning

I want to talk about Chads and normalfags with Wizchan. What is a Chad to you? What is a normalfag to you? And do you agree that the terms by themselves are all too nebulous, therefore we require distinctions between the classes of Chads and normalfags?

I will start with normalfags first, as they are weaker, less aggressive, lower level and will inflict less physical damage upon wizards. "Normalfag". It's a term that is so vague. Therefore, I think we require multiple distinctions of normalfags, which I will list here.

REGULAR NORMALFAG: Clean cut, productive, adult members of society with no mental illnesses (according to the society they participate in, anyways.) Might be a sociopath, but generally, they will be in places a wizard will not encounter unless he leaves his room. They will not browse imageboards, maybe not even forums, and likely are too preoccupied with their kids and their wife and their job. Unless you try to get an office job, they will likely be harmless, since they are too busy with their normalfag lives.

WEIRD NORMALFAG: Most normalfags on imageboards are "weird normalfags". But what does this term mean? It's a broad distinction for normies that allows us to declare that someone is a normalfag, without being a clean cut healthy productive member of society, like a businessman or something. "Weird normalfags" will often declare that they are not normal, that they are strange, weird, mentally ill, even social outcasts, but in reality, they have friends, do drugs, go to parties and have fucked succubi, so no, they do not and cannot identify with us. People like drug dealers, drug addicts (ones who aren't wizards), bronies, furries, etc are "weird normies". Do NOT trust them when they say they are losers, they will make fun of wizards quite intensely.

FAILING NORMALFAGS: There is an important issue which I must bring up here. People use the term "failed normalfag", but it is wildly inaccurate and needs to stop. If you were told to socialize as a young child, and the kids didn't like you, or you didn't like them, and thus became the way you are now, you are technically a "failed normie". That's why it's the normies who are CURRENTLY FAILING who deserve the title "failing normalfag" rather than "failed normalfag". These sorts of people are incels who are CURRENTLY TRYING to be normal. They will go to places like /r9k/, get made fun of by Chad, try to bearPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Requesting the image chart of all the D&D classes and their sociosexual origin and status.

If I recall correctly fighters were chads and warlocks were men who lost their virginity to succubi.

 No.77535

You guys make it sound like our entire existence should be defined by our ability to fuck succubi or not to fuck succubi. So in other words – a wizard is defined strictly as a person who has failed to get laid. But isn't this also implying that we ought to have done so in the first place? What I don't like about this website and what I've never fully liked is though all of us here are (supposedly) virgins the site is just as much about sex as any other normie website. It's just that in our case we're not talking about fucking succubi and what it means to be a good sexual partner but what it means to have failed at that – its basically Elliot Rodgers the image board but with slightly less whining and more acceptable.

There is a third option though. People who just don't give a fuck about human relationships because its shallow, stupid, depressing, and just honestly not worth the effort. I hate to say it but most of you are even more depressing than succubi in that you spend all your time obsessing over shit that doesn't matter. You could say that /wiz/ is even worse than Chad because Chad hasn't built his entire identity around fucking succubi - its just something he does when he can because it feels good so it hasn't become a pathological part of his identity (to the point where he has to hang around with people who call themselves "womanizers" or some shit.) Wiz are like the ying to the pick up artists yang and in that sense - just as pathetic, depressing, and obnoxious.

I wish this website were more about accepting our isolation from society, our unique differences, problems, interests, and ideas, but instead its more like a place for reflecting on our inability to place dick inside female vagina and the philosophical consequences of which (deep, truly deep stuff here.) Face it guys – we've become even worse than /r9k/ could ever be.

>So in other words – a wizard is defined strictly as a person who has failed to get laid.
Yeah, strictly speaking a wizard is a 30 year old male virgin. Among the userbase it has obviously evolved slightly over the years, but virginity is the defining characteristic. A non-virgin who shares all of the newer characteristics of wizardry would not be welcomed here.

>its basically Elliot Rodgers the image board

>its more like a place for reflecting on our inability to place dick inside female vagina and the philosophical consequences
Rule 1, 2, and 3 do their best to make sure this doesn't happen. What more do you want? No mention of virginity on an imageboard built around the idea of a userbase comprised of male virgins? It's going to be mentioned every now and then.

>You could say that /wiz/ is even worse than Chad because Chad hasn't built his entire identity around fucking succubi - its just something he does when he can because it feels good so it hasn't become a pathological part of his identity (to the point where he has to hang around with people who call themselves "womanizers" or some shit.)

If that were true our existence as older male virgins wouldn't be so unfathomable to normalfags. We wouldn't be thought of as pathetic or weird. I'm pretty sure Chads do hang out with other Chads because they share similar identities and personalities.

>Face it guys – we've become even worse than /r9k/ could ever be.

Just checked /r9k/ myself. Nope. Why would you say such a thing? You're welcome to go there if you think the best way to remedy any perceived quality loss here is by bumping a thread near 24 hours later comparing wizardchan to /r9k/.

K guys, I am making this thread because virginity is kind of a spiritual thing. Most major religions value virginity. What kind of religion/spirituality is best for a wizard? I am kind of confused on this one, because I used to be athiest, then became Catholic and somewhat desired to be a monk/priest, but then saw the retarded liberalness of the Church nowadays, and started looking into philosophy and even /fringe/ stuff, but got scared because something about magic made me hesitant to try it, it seemed scary, so now I am sort of Catholic again, because it is safe and I know I'm not summoning demons or something, because even though they say they aren't, I am scared that some of the /fringe/ stuff may be demonic. I am trying to look into Gnostic Christianity, and Buddhism and Hinduism have always looked cool to me. What is kind of religion/spirituality is best, what do you adhere to /wiz/?

There was Catharism as well, also killed for heresy.

>Cathars also rejected marriage. Their theology was based principally on the belief that the physical world, including the flesh, was irredeemably evil—as it stemmed from the evil principle or "demiurge".[37] Therefore, reproduction was viewed by them as a moral evil to be avoided—as it continued the chain of reincarnation and suffering in the material world. It was claimed by their opponents that, given this loathing for procreation, they generally resorted to sodomy.

I don't understand how you could just pick a religion because it looks cool, or sounds nice. If you don't sincerely believe in your faith, and are always thinking "I'm not actually serious about this" while going through the motions, then what exactly is your end goal? Practicing the religion will leave you bored and frustrated. Whatever deity you pretend to worship won't appreciate your mock faith.

Unless you hope to delude yourself into belief over time. You're more likely to get sick of it first.

The thing is, virginity was also implying total celibacy. If you're a virgin but spend your life masturbating to loli tentacle rape guro scat hentai, your spiritual/holiness level would be considered by most near zero.

These Black Panthers have been in solitary confinement for 50 years, and these are the amenities the enjoy:

http://solitarywatch.com/2013/03/21/louisiana-attorney-general-says-angola-3-have-never-been-held-in-solitary-confinement/

Contrary to popular lore, Woodfox and Wallace have never been held in solitary confinement while in the Louisiana penal system. They have been held in protective cell units known as CCR. These units were designed to protect inmates as well as correctional officers. They have always been able to communicate freely with other inmates and prison staff as frequently as they want. They have televisions on the tiers which they watch through their cell doors. In their cells they can have radios and headsets, reading and writing materials, stamps, newspapers, magazines and books. They also can shop at the canteen store a couple of times per week where they can purchase grocery and personal hygiene items which they keep in their cells.

These convicted murderers have an hour outside of their cells each day where they can exercise in the hall, talk on the phone, shower, and visit with the other 10 to 14 inmates on the tier. At least three times per week they can go outside on the yard and exercise and enjoy the sun if they want. This is all in addition to the couple of days set aside for visitations each week.

These inmates are frequently visited by spiritual advisors, medical personnel and social workers. They have had frequent and extensive contact with numerous individuals from all over the world, by telephone, mail, and face-to-face personal visits. They even now have email capability. Contrary to numerous reports, this is not solitary confinement.

I believe it is possible to create a wizard sanctuary, we just must work together to do so.

And it will be on an Alaskan island.

Those of us who are privileged enough to have secured NEET payments from the government will be called to arms for manual labor. They will erect the tiny cabins for each wizard and build compostible toilets and dig a well.

Residents of alaska are paid a lumpsum of money each year out of earnings from the oil industry in the state. In 2014 this was $1800. With the oil industry in the shape it is it will be lower this year, but regardless we will pool it together for our food budget.

The cook will be in charge of making sure our food stores last as long as possible by using the technique of sprouting the beans and lentils. We will have a year's supply of Soylent 1.5 in case things turn awry.

The Supplier will be in charge of periodically making trips to civilization for supplies, as well as to download terabytes of Hentai and the latest anime and Visual Novels from the wifi of a local library. This will be brought back to the community and distributed equally to everywizard.

Has anyone else here just dropped out of normie society altogether? It's not like I am all that attached anyway, but even going on the internet now make me feel like shit because every website has been turned into nonstop normie bragging about their successful careers or huge chad muscles or arguing about pointless normie news. I just want to drop out from everything for a while - quit my pointless wageslave job, retreat to the cheapest apartment I can find, and go out no more than once a month to stock up on food (longer if it will keep). At least for six months, I don't want internet, tv, radio, or any news about the outside world. Nothing but some things I can work on alone.

Hey /wiz/, this is something that has been troubling me for quite some time. If all reality is happenstance and without intelligence behind it, who is to say that realities exist (or potentially exist) of infinite suffering or displeasure. Is it simply our good fortune we exist in a plane of existence where we have the refuge of death? And if previously we were in a state of non-existence, who is to say that the necessary elements will not convene again to create consciousness (in perhaps even more terrible and grotesque forms), such as being flayed for eternity or trapped in a claustraphobic hell box for hundreds of years? Even if we voluntarily terminated the next generation through antinatalism, there is still no guarantee it will end human suffering.

>How can one lament the pain and suffering caused by procreation without opposing it? Can you really fault someone for trying to convince others not to procreate?

The to-be-person is a potential that has no individuality. In other words it is the general potential for existence. That potential inherits individual characteristics upon it's realization but prior to that it is just that: a possibility. I think the activist-antinatalists are thinking in terms of multiple potential persons when there is only one and for that reason they feel that insistent need to "save" the individual. But there is no individual to save. The potential for existence will actualize either way and is in fact actualizing every moment. The supposed individual is on one hand harmed either way and on the other hand can never be saved. The outcome doesn't change.

>I also don't understand who it is, in your opinion, that formulated this "true" antinatalism.

>So far as I am aware, all the philosophers who called themselves antinatalists not only believed that but also believed that one ought not have children.

That's why I dislike Benatar. That's why I agree with Zapffe up until he mentions his imperative.
I think they are mistaken in their thinking that there is something to salvage or that the world can know better. Schopenhauer's philosophy of the Will that eternally strives for nothing is the counterpoint to that. For one thing he realizes that procreation is irrational and immoral but at the same time he refrains from imposing a moral duty in the way the other two philosophers seem to do. From my basic understanding of it, he basically says that life is a manifestation of the Will and mindless fucking is it's personification. Standing up to an aspiring mother and demanding that she didn't reproduce (nevermind how irrational that is in the first place) is akin to standing up to the Will and demanding that it stopped striving.

So meditation is often described as entering a state of thoughtlessness. Death is often described as dreamless sleep. Something we can never imagine from the inside. We can only peer into it through our imagination from the outside.

Nirvana literally means "Non-becoming."


So is the point of Buddhism to ensure a permanent death? To just blend into the background? To be one with everything yet completely severed from Samsara? Do Buddhists just meditate to feel and explore the concept of death by shutting out everything, including their own mentality?

It's so weird. It feels like they do, yet through meditation people have had entire revelations of thought. It seems like one way, and parallels a completely different intention.

What even inspired old Prince Siddhartha (Buddha) to the idea of Nirvana, the 'ocean'of Samsara, and to reject his life, shave his head, and become a wanderer?

The New Age movement is a result of uneducated Western hippies getting their first taste of Eastern philosophy. The whole reason people hate on New Age shit is because it's usually a gross misinterpretation of the original philosophy.

The most important ideas from the East (imo) are non-duality and the Four Noble Truths. I think it's lazy to call these "meaningless words."
