I think I've just realized a good reason to live.

I have /wiz/ardchan tier sex drive - as in very low

During my teens/20s I had stress so high I had no morningstaff (/dep/ tier past) - but I missed the part where I was supposed to end up a "crab".

All my /hob/ are computer-related, I don't really need too many "real stuff". In fact, I like "industrial" design or straight-up "rustical" crude design.

I dabble a little in /jp/ culture - as in 1950s-1980s, not just modern anime/games/both combined (Touhou Project) and pre-1885 times of samurai

and I have my own taste in /music/ - I have utilitarian preferences, such as commercial background music.


I think my consciousness would be quite useful as a template to copy and to install into various robot-like machines… y'know, it happens sometimes - it's VERBOTEN, ZAPRESHCHENO, PROHIBITED to make X, but there's an opportunity to get Y and upgrade it to something that's close to X. So hey, have fun cloning [and patching up?] my mind with additional knowledge, should manufacturing a strong AI from scratch und up prohibited.

Since I do not identify with seggs/gossip/"SUCCial lifey" and such, I have less problems than regular urban person all while I do not have the addendum of the beautiful divine nature of a proper hermit/monk/a high-composure person who keeps masking own feelings, not genuinely lacks them.

Sure, I may have a bunch of problems which can be attributed as "stressing over stressors", but I do not identify with my stressors. If I could, I would go minimalist or such.

In layman terms, my brain could be useful to copy for some "robot, but not officially a robot" stuff.

Can you goon while easily dealing with the urges after? Can you practice retention?

Actually, you know what? I lied. I actually LOVE posting various pieces of advice.

I am not a big fan of gooning whatsoever.

I lent, so the retention thing comes naturally.

You say this now but you have no idea what awaits you. The longer you live in isolation, the worse it will be for your mind and body. And eventually the consequences start to catch up to you.

Poor diet gives way to pre-diabetes and the inability to digest large amounts of sugar. You go from eating anything to having to follow a strict, bland diet. The lack of social contact makes your brain slower. You will start to forget things more. Lack of sun light will lead to depression and messed up sleep. Sitting around on the computer will ruin your back, and cause atrophy. You'll find it hard to do even a short walk without feeling out of breath.

Being a "wizard" is just larping that you've overcome some basic biological imperatives that everyone needs to be healthy. Isolation in your room doing nothing will just lead to cumulative, chronic illness, as you get older.

Sounds fine to me. IF we can't get transplanted to a cheap robot frame then we might as well decay into nothing. But a robot body that has no human needs for food, exercise, sunlight and other bullshit would sure be nice. Even if it's just a bucket on wheels.

True, the 'rona have shown that

Ouch. Guess I am expected to fix my diet now.

Yup. Guess I have to take a good care of myself even if my goal is to become a super-calm machine spirit that bypasses "no AI" bans via "prosthetic bodies are welcome" excuse.
* Or someone like that. Emotions are great, but I actually want to go back to that moment of emptyheadedness after a good sleep sometimes…




So, maybe, I should heed to your advice as

It's not the social isolation causing that deterioration of cognitive abilities, it's because there isn't a lot of mental stimulation when NEETs spend their days mostly just consuming media.

With all that free time and information out there, you can easily get more educated, learn new skills, etc. But most lack the discipline for that.

As for exercising, nothing is stopping you from skipping ropes, lifting weights, and watching out for your diet in general.

Media is no stimulation ? How consuming media is less a mental stimulation than learning new language or instrument, for instance ?
And another question for you, why someone who live out of society (socially isolated) since many years would be motivated to learn some new skills or knowledge that mostly only have value and uses in a social context, instead of just chilling consuming his favorite piece of media ?

Same for exercising, if you are a schizo loner living the ermit life, what the point of stressing your body into some intense exercice instead of just relaxing all day ? If civilisation wants to kill you someday for some reason, because you are consuming ressources or idk, its not like you can resist it anyway, even if you are fit, the modern weapons are way too powerful.

Not necessarily. What your mind and body needs doesn't require social connection with another human. A purpose or a conviction, and fulfillment of said purpose/conviction, is enough.

>"Poor diet gives way to pre-diabetes and the inability to digest large amounts of sugar. You go from eating anything to having to follow a strict, bland diet."

>immediately proceeds to blame diabetes on a social life

Carbohydrates are not an essential nutrient. Fat and ketones are. Every modern health problem known to man is directly caused by the consumption of carbohydrates of all forms. Fiber is also not a nutrient, it is undigested plant matter and starches that ferments and necrotizes in your gut, increasing your risk of appendicitis, colon cancer and obstruction in nutrient absorption.

To live healthy, the wizard needs to move around. Pacing in your house and jumping around like a lunatic like autists do absolutely counts as valid movement. Eat more fat and protein with an occasional vegetable/fruit, and maintain your electrolytes in the transition process. If you're on your computer, adjust the computer position and seating so that your upper back leaning back instead of forward.

Meat rots the teeth and bones, also parasites, prions, cancer, hormones, etc.

Before giving you a little piece of hope, a little "glimmer" material. I'll remind you something. Here's how things were done back in the day of saint hermits like Seraphim Sarovsky: into the woods, but not the deep "innawoods", grow food, till the soil, but take some quests from locals nearby anyway.

Look, there is a funny thing here that feels like a paradox.

Moravec's paradox (see in W.)
Basically, a human's *intuition* is harder for computers that any formal logic.
* Formal logic can be thrown into a CPU which compares lots of data, bit by bit, 0 vs 1
* GPUs mimic small areas of ones brain

Our generation still has some time by *combining* motorics, physical self-care, several areas of intelligence at once (drama, logic, rhethorics, visual calculus, conceptualization) and there's a room for *hunch*, making suggestions and such.


>>227727
Therefore, excercising to be ready to *fit* into some role of a… say:
* watchtower operator,
* a distant railroad station worker guy
* maybe a night shift security guy who spends his day in a dark box of a rented basement (preferrably vented)…
* maybe a night shift conveyor worker (bakery? Newspapers/magazines/books on demand maybe?) who can dodge coworkers' random small talks with little though-disrupting patterns

>Media is no stimulation ? How consuming media is less a mental stimulation than learning new language or instrument, for instance ?


Barely if any, how much mental effort do you invest when you play games or watch some tv show compared to learning an instrument or a language? Everything is getting spoonfed, you can do these activities on autopilot, that reward is just the pleasure you feel at that moment and it's nothing productive.

> if you are a schizo loner living the ermit life, what the point of stressing your body into some intense exercice instead of just relaxing all day ?


You can just pick a topic that is less relevant in social contexts then. Instead of learning a new language, go for history, programming, etc.

As for exercising, you do it to have a better quality of life and stay healthy. And there are lots of solitary activities you can do that these exercises help with, such as cycling, hiking, etc. You'll need to build up your stamina for that.

Just as much.
>spoonfed
Ever heard of "gamefication" techniques?



>As for exercising, you do it to have a better quality of life and stay healthy. And there are lots of solitary activities you can do that these exercises help with, such as cycling, hiking, etc.

Cycling is safer both as in free from street/park yobs chasing you AND free from "nice weather, huh? HUH!? HE-E-E-EY!?" thought-interrupting people.

>You'll need to build up your stamina for that

Stamina helps with everything, however, building up stamina also demands intuitive understanding of your body - not wrecking your leg joints, for example.
