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.

Bro even in the middle ages scholars emphasized memory because books were so expensive. They had mnemonic "mind temples" they utilized in their imagination to better retain legal information.

Oftentimes the specifics of law was rote memorized because the actual legal charter was 100km away and you couldn't just pull a book out from your library. They were chained to desks.

Mnemonics only seriously declined in the 19th century, exactly when books proliferated exponentially, and coincidentally right when the university system first dumbed down. Thats when actual specialized degrees started instead of students being expected to learn on their own.

Maybe they should have been working to amend the bodies of their civilizations with sounder systems of religion and government and economics that the memorizing of the details of the old systems would no longer be necessary? Wouldn’t this have been a wiser course than setting into memory the antiquated commands of old legal codes that from within a better society would have no place? I forgot where I found this latin sentence, but it is from a medieval author, and its sense is relevant:

Quorsum requireretur legum prudentia, cum abessent mali mores, ex quibus haud dubie bonae leges prognatae sunt? Whereto would be required the prudence of the laws, when evil habits would be absent, from out of which not doubtfully good laws are derivative?

And even (((Thomas More))) in his proto-communist Utopia makes his hero Hythlodaeus (a greek pun meaning: distributor of nonsense) speak the following regarding the Utopian islanders:

leges habent perquam paucas. sufficiunt enim sic institutis paucissimae. quin hoc in primis apud alios improbant populos, quod legum interpretumque uolumina, non infinita sufficiunt. ipsi uero censent iniquissimum; ullos homines his obligari legibus; quae aut numerosiores sint, quam ut perlegi queant; aut obscuriores quam ut a quouis possint intelligi. They have very few laws. For thus do very few fit their purposes. That this firstly near other peoples do they disapprobate, that not even infinite volumes of laws and interpreters suffice. They themselves however account most wrong, any men to be bound by these laws, which either may be more numerous than so that they may be able to be read; or more obscure than so that from whomever they may be able to be understood.

These were nearly medieval writers and in them we find disesteem for the structure of the old traditional legality then surviving in their own time. I wonder what they would have thought at hearing of scholars being “chained to their desks” copying to mind sentence after sentence of older legal decision? And here in conceptual sympathy with them I can ask: what is the purpose in rote memorizing almost infiPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I've wasted so many years of my life. And right now I work a shit job that requires way too much work for the low pay. I dont really have an credentials especially for all the jobs in my area that are like 99% senior analyst bullshit that I could probably never lie good enough to get into

I've heard of so many other guys with comfy jobs like night watchman or dudes who somehow keep getting vibecoding gigs from home even if they dont know how to code.

How do you go about this? I'm still a mage in my early 20s. Never got any formal education or anything. As my life is now I could probably rot away years upon years away miserably in the blink of an eye. I already have done nothing for the last decade.

Starting a new anti-suicide general as the original has been bump-locked.

Helping wizards to understand that persuasive feelings of suicide can be bested.

Further the discursive spirit of this thread will remain the same as the first: to counter the general luring tenor of sadness that defines all the other threads through sharing positive practical advice purposed to reducing suicidal behavior even when we feel most suicidal. Naturally, being that I started the topic, I will be the first to contribute.

(1) Know that I care about you guys deeply and sincerely. Call me a faggot, I don't care (many have already done this, to no worthwhile avail)
(2) Examine what you are eating. For example, gluten especially produces depressive/psychotic episodes in sensitive autistic individuals. Sugar also is not healthy for your brain. Delimiting ingestion of both is wise.
(3) Make sure you are getting sufficient sleep. Chronic sleeplessness or even a few days' worth of irregular sleep can seriously interfere with the clarity of our thinking.
(4) Clean up. Taking a warm shower and putting on fresh clean clothes always is refreshing and helps to break up darkened mental habits.
(5) Breathe fresh air. Open whichever windows punctuate your room and allow some wind to come in.
(6) Watch your breathing. When we are panicked, our breathing can become very disordered and we do not recognize the effect this has on our thinking. Take deep, purposeful breaths, and collect your thoughts.
(7) Respect yourself. You have done your best to survive in an awful world, and you should grant yourself forgiveness for any mistakes and the allowance to rest with a composed and balanced mind.

I've done my part. Anyone else?

It's Saturday night and I started taking a new antidepressant called Mirtazapine (15mg) on Thursday night.

This is my 10th or so attempt at a psychiatric medication. I've tried lots of therapy too.

Wish me luck anonymages. I was about to quit my job but watched some motivational videos on autoplay on Youtube for hours and as cheesy as it was, they convinced me to give this a go.

I didn't even get these prescribed recently. It was way back last year and then I just didn't take them because this particular medicine has a reputation for making people really fatigued.

It does put me to sleep. But, maybe that's ok. If it means I can find some happening apart from fapping and dreaming while I sleep.

Maybe it'll even help me turnaround my fortunes at work where it looks like I'm sliding towards a firing or just being unable to come in. Barely stopped myself raging at my boss the other day and took 2 weeks sick leave from stress afterwards. I need to swallow some humble pie come Monday and hopefully these pills help. Being off work for 2 weeks showed me I'm just as miserable and actually more so depressed, anxious and stressed not working despite all the antiwork slogans I collect.

I'm curious what the covid-19 vaccination rate is like among wizards.

Personally, I was the only one in my immediate and extended family to not get the vaccine or boosters. No doubt influenced by the normie propaganda, I faced a lot of harassement and pressure from my mother.

Knowing my family, I would also probably have been uninvited from family gathering for not having the vaccine but since I stopped seeing them 2 decades ago, it was a moot point.

>During the Battle of Khaybar, Hazrat Bishr(ra) also ate the poisoned meat alongside the Holy Prophet(sa), which was given to them as a gift by a Jewish female. When Hazrat Bishr(ra) swallowed a piece of the meat, he had not yet moved from his place when all of a sudden, his facial complexion changed and became like telasaan – a cloth which was predominately black in color. The pain was so severe, that for an entire year he was unable to turn over in bed without assistance and eventually, he passed away in this painful state. It is also stated [in other narrations] that the poison was so deadly that he had not yet moved from his place when after a short while of eating the meat, he passed away.
>The Prophet, in his ailment in which he died, used to say, "O `Aisha! I still feel the pain caused by the food I ate at Khaibar, and at this time, I feel as if my aorta is being sliced from that poison."
>Aisha reported: I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, as he was dying and he had a cup of water, which he would dip his hand into and wipe his face with water, then he was saying, “O Allah, help me with the agonies of death!”

Hazrat Bishr and the Holy prophet. Two men who ate poisoned meat prepared by a Jew, two men who died as a result of trusting them.

God communicates to the Muslims and to all the rest of the world, that no matter what despicable acts Jews do, they are 'invincible'. Why? Because 'God chose them above all the world'.
He killed and laid waste to the Hamites, and he'll kill and lay waste to everything else. Why? Because he favors Jews.

The only conceivable way to change that adoration is by changing God's mind. But remember, the prayer of a Jew is superior to the prayer of a non-Jew in the eyes of God by virtue of the fact that he favors Jews more than he does everyone and everything else.

It's mainly about intimidation, actually using it is just a last resort. I don't see how learning MMA would help me when most physical altercations I can imagine would be with packs of feral browns/niggers, in those cases a small knife is more intimidating than punching and kicking, which has little chance of being lethal, they won't mind taking a hit or two knowing they'll end up surrounding you and then stomp your head until you're braindead. With any sharp weapon though, either I go to prison for defending myself or I die, and if I die at least one of them will come with me. Casually being caught with a sharp weapon by the police is no worry, here it's just a small fine first offense.

>I don't see how learning MMA would help me
There's degrees to it. Learning MMA purely in a gym/sporting context (IE: 1v1 in a controlled environment) won't help you much in a street fight. But learning any non-bullshit form of martial arts will give you a decent understanding of range and positioning, so you're better equipped if you do find yourself in a situation where you suddenly need to use your sharp implement for something more than intimidation.
>a small knife is more intimidating than punching and kicking, which has little chance of being lethal
Against an untrained fighter, you can land a good punch to the chin or even throat that will incapacitate them temporarily (or permanently if you hit their throat or their head hits concrete hard enough). But that falls apart if the other person has even a little experience in fighting. And yeah, if I had multiple people after me, I'd rather have a knife on hand than rely solely on my fists.
All this being said, your first tool should always be situational awareness; you can't lose a fight if you never fall into one to begin with.

Searched in the board, didn't find a thread for /dep/-suited type of music unless I am terminally retarded.

So I figure out, let's make some thread about cool music you like to listen to when you feel like a human, like things are going like shit for you. Personally, I sometimes listen darkwave, sometimes russian post-punk, sometimes death or black metal, sometimes maidcore (ew, troons, good music though) also but not sure if it still fits the depression theme that much so i'll limit myself to darkwave unless given approval. Since I data-hoard a lot of shit on an usual basis, i'll post files directly, that way you won't have to use normietube either, i'll limit myself to one file per message for the sake of it being more convenient.

Hopefully it makes you feel better, to the Anon reading.

Canada got rid of the D-glucuronolactone in the original Monster and Monster Zero Ultra. How does this make you feel wizzies? Imo that was one of the defining ingredients in the Monster energy blend, and taking it out makes Monster not too dissimilar from every other energy drink on the market. (It was what caused that specific feeling of stimulation in your cerebral cortex that you don't get with other beverages.)

Also energy drink general I guess

A slightly unusual hobby for a wizardly man, but I've always had an attraction to it.

What I like about it is the extremely large variety of tricks that can be learned. It's like the Path of Exile skill tree in the sense you can pick a direction and learn that way. You can build up your foundations, or you can go the straight and narrow all the way to learning your favorite trick. The large variety of tricks also mean there are a ton of easier ones to learn, and learning these tricks provides such a strong feeling of accomplishment.

Cruising is very nice too, I intent to get a bigger old school board with soft(?) wheels for nice and easy transport.

The art on skateboards is also quite nice, there's something for everyone. Also you can buy blanks and draw on it yourself. I think the level of creativity in all aspects of this hobby is so amazing.

All things skating related welcomed, I'll try my best to answer with great care to everyone.

Thank you for participating

at the same time i know relationships can bring a lot of joy (and pain). i might try disabled dating next if i do start dating again

Back in the day, they tried to match race with same race, down to the general part of a continent their ancestors immigrated from. And it fucking worked. I compared my mom to a photo of her adoptive mom and the resemblance is uncanny. Same hair, same eye color, same smile. Downright eerie.
My mom said she was always proud as a kid when people didn't have any idea they weren't bio family… Society is starting to do adoptees a disservice in the name of what? Not potentially hurting feelings, making normies wait a bit longer for a child that can pass as blood relative? Just stick to tradition and toss the unwanted ones of China and Africa to gays.
Adoptees are always gonna be fucked up. But in school I had a lot of classes was this black kid adopted by old, clueless hippies and that guy was FUCKED UP. Even I felt pity for him.
All children deserve stable, understanding homes. If anyone here really, for some ungodly reason, wants a succubus child around just watch Anne of Green Gables then be glad you can just pause her dumbassery as long as you want when the child shenanigans get annoying. Maybe go adopt a cat or dog or start a nice fish tank.

This may be one of my more insane ideas, but lately I've been thinking about becoming a "content creator" as a way to get money to keep neeting it up.

If you think about it, there are some obvious advantages and disadvantages that wizards have when it comes to content creating. First is of course unemployment. Only the unemployed can devote the time and effort it takes to actually produce a high quality video. Disadvantage though is not being a normalfag makes it hard to get popularity. It's not impossible though as pic related proves.

There is low hanging fruit in this field, stuff like playing video games on one of those streaming sites, but it is likely to be dominated by normalfags with entertaining personalities. What sort of content then could a wizard use to get views?

Monetization strategy seems to be important as well. Apparently you make way more stuff from selling stuff on youtube than you do from just views, so that's why everyone is doing affiliate links and shit. Discuss any monetization schemes you may have.

I think that if you approach this seriously and think about how to actually create content that is interesting and provides value to the viewer you might be able to use this as a way to get bux without a real job. Thoughts?

Okay, so which job do only smart people give you money to do? You're acting like the fact that normalfags are your target makes it beneath you. Normalfags are literally the vast majority of society and any and all businesses are centered around milking them of their money.

I think you're also taking a very narrow view of what sort of content you have to do. Not all of it has to be centered around selling people stuff. That is the biggest profit, but people who go to that well too early and too often can easily turn people off. If you are doing hobby related content you can just focus on doing your hobby and have a video or two where you review and recommend gear. If people have come to know and trust you then they will respect your opinion more and be more likely to buy it than someone who starts off just obviously trying to sell people stuff.

>Okay, so which job do only smart people give you money to do?
this kind of question is asked by someone who wants to be told a solution. smart person doesn't have to be told solutions because smart person SOLVES HIMSELF by using his functioning brain, the thing all the normies envy him for. what you end up doing as a smart person matters little because you don't need a lot of money to reach a very high standard of living so you don't have to pick awful high paying jobs that besmirch you. you can pick low paying small jobs that do not depress you. the people who need a lot of money are those who need to throw money at problems to solve them and when you are smart, you can solve yourself. for a smart person most problems are solved quicker then it takes for a normie to find out who to pay to solve it.

>You're acting like the fact that normalfags are your target makes it beneath you. Normalfags are literally the vast majority of society and any and all businesses are centered around milking them of their money.

i can see the corruption is already operating inside you using your mouth to repeat narratives as if you were nothing but a kermit puppet. milking can never be ethical. there is moral way to trick fools out of their money. passive income inevitably will turn you into the thing you hate most.

>I think you're also taking a very narrow view of what sort of content you have to do. Not all of it has to be centered around selling people stuff.

a few words ago you did not seem to mind taking the perspective of the "vast majority" but now all of the sudden you are fine with picking any perspective that suits you. that's a bit nasty of you and i don't respect it. apart from that i do agree with you on that. it can be possible to do this but for your precious majority it will be a torturous conveyorbelt into degenracy. being absent-minded in the content game will quickly turn you into someone's cannonfodder.

Norms, notions and behaviors they have that annoys you.

>Never argue with your critics or openly dismiss them
Their blood seems to almost always boil when you openly disagree or argue back against their point of view. They seems to just expect you to just nod along and agree(even if it's dishonestly).
Even if they deliverer their criticism rudely they expect you to still be polite with them.
Been told that snarky responses to people's criticism like
>I don't care go fix it yourself if you have a problem with it!
>Rich coming from an amateur like you, I like to see you do better!
>Who cares about what you have to say? Shove it up your ass!
>If you don't like it then do something else!
Will just ensure no one will bother to be honest with you, if they see you do something that is bad/wrong they will keep their mouth shut or lie saying you're doing great and hope you sabotage for yourself.
For a while I bought this. However, it just lead to people daring to be more rude with me. Eventually lead me to snap and revert to my old behavior. Then people started to choose their words more carefully when they talk to me.
Most of the time their criticism isn't even constructive, it's just them wanting you to cater to their preferences. So far this "antisocial" behavior haven't cause me any harm.
This is just some bollocks normies made up, because they don't like when people disagree or argues with them. They just want to be "right" without any push back.

The problem I ran into was wanting to trying to jump through the hoops and play the game, only to still get treated like shit, so I stopped caring. All of the social norms for society that they tried to drill into us in school I ignored since I saw no point. And now in adulthood the ass kissers get their guilded cages like the loyal slaves that they are while the sociopathic morons actually get ahead through nepotism. Same thing with school, I tried to conform but was rejected by my peers and also punished for not following the pointless directions over time, while the same asshole students who disrupted class could get away with anything due to nepotism.

Meritocracy is basically a meme. Unironically if they actually cared and enforced meritocracy, society as a whole would be better. But no keeping the cash flowing within your circle is more important than a competent workforce. Where I live, government positions are handed over to friends and relatives. The principal of my public high school, literally hired his unemployed friend to be a math teacher. He knew his stuff, but whenever he catch or perceive that people weren't listening, he would throw a tantrum. He eventually got fired after a year.
Pretty sure the principle didn't hire him because he was the best of the bunch. Rather because "oh poor bestie is unemployed, I gotta help him!".

I think that today, autistic and witchy people have a huge advantage over neurotypical people. We have extensive knowledge on a wide variety of subjects, we are determined in the face of adversity, and even if we are socially awkward or find it difficult to talk to people (this is my case, I am socially isolated) we can come together in these spaces and stop forcing social contact with neighbors or parents who ask us for the umpteenth time why we still don't have any friends or a girlfriend. Personally, I'd rather go online to investigate the Epstein case than have friends, and I think that's the case for many of you here. The others are completely ridiculous with their social codes to follow. They restrict themselves in terms of intellectual capacity in a completely stupid way to appear socially acceptable because the norm prefers a dumb athlete to a brilliant intellectual. That's why most people prefer athletes like soccer players or basketball players to Gregori Perelman, who solved Poincaré's conjecture. This whole circus is completely ridiculous. People make fun of their neighbors when they themselves are stupid, but to reassure themselves, they say that others are stupid and criticize us because we are not “within the norm.” We do not accept the social contract imposed by popular dogma, which wants us to we criticize to reassure ourselves without accumulating knowledge. Also, do people really compare their time spent on TikTok or Instagram to the knowledge in books, articles, and other sources before criticizing others? Maybe we should look in the mirror and accept that we are trash in order to change and follow a virtuous path that respects others. That's why we're here discussing this: we need to create a close-knit community and distance ourselves from the idiots who criticize us, keeping only those who understand us.And besides, it's not AI that's going to save these idiots. They need to rediscover what it means to read books, to dream, and to use their brains.

Years ago I witnessed an actual autist, he wasn’t capable of living alone and was housed in a residential group for disabled people. What you are describing is not real autism but weirdness, I agree. A real autist couldn't even write such text or use a device necessary for writing such text without destroying this device in an autistic tantrum after it doesn't exactly work like he wants it to work. Autism as you describe it here for a fact seems like a meme and the concept of it being a spectrum mainly seems to serve the idea that pretty much every person in one aspect has autistic traits in them. That's not helpful as a concept.

Agree with this completely. When somebody is "off" you can tell almost immediately. They talk too much, lack social tact (and this doesn't mean social awkwardness or "anxiety" more so being totally unable to read a room) or you can tell in their face or mannerisms.

Any healthcare "professional" or mental health type person would label me autistic when the reality is I've lived an alienated and isolated life for over a decade and this turned me into what I am today. I was a happy though shy child, but the world beat me down and I had no support, so I became twisted and neurotic.

Put anyone in my shoes and give them the experiences I did (or didn't) have and they'd end up mostly the same, probably with some slight temperamental differences pushing them in somewhat different trajectories but all within an expected radius.

Taking it to the extreme, a child raised feral will display insanely "autistic" and "neurodivergent" traits and be gassed up with all kinds of conditions and labels, irrelevant to the root cause of why they ended up like that.

I actually find it very condescending and useless. People go through things and it changes them, a bullied kid will become insular and maladapted to his social environment because the environment to him is hostile. He will then display "autistic" tendencies. This kid, already feeling othered by the world through social exclusion, will be further othered by a label calling him fundamentally different and other and alien. Now maybe some people find that comforting. I find it insulting.

It ignores the fundamental things all people need to not end up broken and twisted and replaces them with a generalized label you can slap on anybody without any understanding of the root cause(s) or how society or the environment or anything else might be at fault. It's instead "you're fundamentally different, you have x, y and z, and here's some ADHD medication while you're at it. this is your life now." It's lazy and stupid.

There is an interesting push in general for people to assume fake mental illnesses that they don't have. The first one that got popular was ADHD. Every phone addicted Stacy started claiming they had ADHD so that's why they weren't paying attention in school and why they need you to raise their grade. Then it became autism or trannies. Lots of fake trannies out there these days who just pretend to be trans for attention and support. Sometimes I legitimately think people are confusing the symptoms of screen addiction with "neurodivergence".

I was shy. As a child I had lots of friends but it took a while for me to be comfortable and open up - when I did though I was quite sociable. At what point does that stop being someone's natural temperament (further influenced by parents and environment) and instead become a lower-middle third bottom echelon delta gamma west on the y vector quadrant foil trading card type autism?

It's not like I'm entirely repulsed by the idea of having some special-freak-boy label to rationalize my shitty life and social misgivings - but I don't find it useful. It makes complete sense someone in my situation would be the way I am.

Stepped on the scale today and realized that despite the initial "push" from a medical crisis a year ago, I basically regained all weight I lost (minus 5-10kg).
I also realized I've been working for almost 3 years now, going to be 30 the same week I'll hit my 3 years of work too.
3 years… of wages wasted.

I don't even know what the fuck I spent most of it on. It just escapes me.
Still live with mom and all my necessities are taken care of she takes nothing from me.
I had a blessed opportunity these past 3 years to save up for the dogshit future that hit the world now and I wasted it on toys and basically indulging all I couldn't as a NEET with no money.
The worst is that since I'm an impulsive retard I mostly have nothing to show for it either.

Health is even more fucked then ever before since I never took action.
Rather every action that didn't prove fruitful or flat out failed resulted in my absolute surrender for another month or three or six…
Absolutely defeated at the starting line basically.

To get to the point of this thread. Those of you that live a decently structured, responsible and stable life, how?
I barely have a sense of time. Kinda like when I was a NEET, just instead of 12-16 hours of sleeping and then PC stuff I'm forced to work a rather easy, blessed job.
Once it passes I just feel like I'm teleported to the next shift until I get to sleep through a weekend and months pass.
Even chronic pains don't make me act much. What does one even do to live?

The worst part really is that so many years went down the drain and I really have nothing to show for it. Not even memories.
I want to at least look back on SOMETHING fondly when I'm dying someday.

i'm pretty sure that calculus is usually covered in two-three semesters max, so 1-1.5 years to understand the material well seems pretty reasonable if you treat it with the same time investment as an average university student.

It's not all survivorship bias. You miss all the shots you never take. A lot of people try once, miss, then sit on their ass and whine about how life isn't fair. Other people just keep shooting. The people who keep shooting their shot always end up ahead while the ones who just sit around and do nothing get behind. Mostly it comes down to having parents who can financially support this sort of thing, and having the right attitude. That's why you notice all the successful types are all the same type of ultra normie. High energy, always doing things, meeting people, etc. Survivorship bias only plays into it for people who are that type of person. People who aren't like them aren't even included in the same category.

He is also belittled and ordered around by the Captain. At the end of the opera, he loses his mind and drowns himself in a lake.

agreed. virginity is just another marker. it's often substantial, not having any intimate sexual contact by your 30s is often rare, which is why it's a good marker but it's not definitive. you could be a complete normalfag but still be a virgin out of religious beliefs or you're just somewhat weird about sex but you've still had girlfriends. i don't want those types posting here, i want what you described. also, it's very easy to simply LIE about being a virgin but not quite as easy to pretend you have a different personality, eventually you will slip up, and we've had cases like that in wizchan history. admins and moderators that were basically sexhavers and they only got caught because they shared too much information about their life and it become very apparent.
