Wizards with a structured life and long term goals, how? Anonymage 04/06/26 (Mon) 03:29:30 No.228138 [Reply]

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 24, and when I read your posts, I feel like I'm reading my future. I've been ignoring a stomachache for a while now, my mother is sick, I'm about to finish university, yet I haven't learned a thing. I feel like the whole world is a mess and that I'm awful. I feel tired and lazy all the time. Sometimes I just want to sleep and never wake up. I have no friends, and I haven't done anything with my life except be on the computer. I don't know what to do or think. I don't even feel like I have a personality. I feel alone, thrown into this shitty world in this shitty body.

If you are about to get a degree you are at least that much ahead of me in terms of capacity to act and stick to something.
So look at it as a positive. I spent many many years going to colleges as a way to mask my NEETdom, but never really bothered since I was unable to focus on something I cared nothing for.
You have proven to yourself that you can force yourself to do things, or at least competently accomplish something if forced by external circumstances.

>I don't even feel like I have a personality.
This however is something I couldn't crack no matter how much time I spend with my thoughts.
It was something of a revelation to me a couple years back too. I don't really have a defined character like many people seem to have.
I adapt, I tend to mirror the most recent person I interact with or observed pretty much, but when alone I'm just a bland mass of nothingness.
It's hard to be something if you were never challenged, you never had to make hard decisions, you never did anything of note or got attached to anything deeply.

If a persons character is a sum of their choices, then what does that make of me, who chose inaction, who chose nothing at every step?

Not really a fitting place to discuss this, but I wonder how much of this is just simply lacking any goals, long term or short. From your short posts I reckon you got railroaded into some computer science degree because "hey he spends his time on the PC all day so surely…" or something along these lines. Just going with the flow.

Most normal people have a clear goal of self development for the purpose of eventual reproduction, then provision for offspring.
This key base thing is like gravity that keeps them on track if nothing else.
Take such goals/drive away and even self preservation becomes optional.

This is what makes me deeply envious of wizards on here that seemingly have it all together and managed to self-actualize without the most obvious driver of life.

I can't disagree, but it's also one of those things you just can't accept else the rope becomes the only real answer.

I'm just about 5'6" in shoes. Funny thing you point out not being a succ, probably got called "male" or "man" in a derogatory tone before too huh?
Wasn't blessed with smarts either. I managed to avoid major accidents, but head injuries from beatings and being born a month premature don't exactly result in the healthiest of dispositions.
Especially if you manage to inherit a bunch of debuffs as well.

I'm still hopeful that I'm some special wisdom / conclusion away from a decent life.
I recall one of the wizards was some wheelchair bound cripple and he seemed to be more competent and at least happier too.
I'm sure there are wizards who are worse off yet managed to get better. I'd like to believe I'm just missing something by being dumb/lazy/self-absorbed or whatever else.
Accepting that the reason for failure is something I can't change fills me with the same dread as thinking of death/oblivion.

Because at the beginning of the 20th century, a bureaucratic class seized power in all civilized countries. Since its economic function is the extraction and centralized distribution of funds, they strive to continually expand their budgets and find a class that will absorb these budgets to the maximum extent. From aid to the hopeless poor and migrants, environmental programs, to the military industry and traditional values, anything will do, and any ideology will be acceptable to simulate vigorous activity. They are not interested in economic returns; their planning horizon is limited to the next month, responsibility is diffused and virtually nonexistent. Therefore, they fail to address the problems of housing, employment, and the lack of any positive prospects.

genuine interest in math is rare. even among the people that are good at math and study it or do it professionally, it's just a thing they have to do to succeed in their career path. genuine interest is when your mind wanders to it by default and it doesn't tire you out and you use every idle moment you have just thinking about it.

i do wonder if you could cultivate this. perhaps by meditating on math until you can reach some kind of perceptual frame where these patterns become incredibly enticing and compelling. by continually meditating on the question "what would it be like if i was obsessed with math" and trying to pin down the actual experience of it. the people that are genuinely interested in math see something that us regular mortals don't and all these tedious mathematical symbols and equations actually serve a purpose, they are useful tools for them that demystify burning questions and reveal deep secrets.

So I had my kratom now, took it in a span of 4 days, using an extract with 50 mg mitragynin. While it was surely pleasant and giving a warm feeling, I completely missed that limitless motivation or any kind of euphoria. So all in all rather disappointing. I mixed the extrat with half a litre of water in a plastic bottle and I must say it actually was tasty, like ice tea, I would drink that even without the kratom effect. This is the complete contrary to what I consumed in the past, where I had this downright nasty kratom taste. But it comes with a high price, it's too expensive to buy regularly, I'll stop using now for at least a month anyway.

Feel like I have to keep lying to myself about everything just to maintain some kind of something. The true grief of my situation would be too painful to bear so these little lies are all I have.

I pretty regularly get these extreme on/off type scenarios in which for a time my lies actually seem plausibly real or at least true in some sense, in that maybe my perception isn't totally off and there's something textured and tangible here - but then things alternate and I get these extremely on the nose messages from the world/life/people which seem custom curated to personally torture me, and that no, in fact, it was all bullshit, and all this stuff wasn't real; you just made it up in your head, to give yourself something to subsist on, and it doesn't mean what you thought it meant.

The veil lifts and there's no way for me to not perceive the thing to be exactly what it seems to be. I understand I'm cynical and biased and hold tons of potentially erroneous and preconceived notions stemming back from childhood which influence my thinking, but at the same time, it's so plain to me? Like 1+1=2 type obvious, of course this is how it is, and your suspicions were entirely justified, and you were an idiot for thinking anything else.

Then cue the mental gymnastics to perceive the thing as not what it obviously seems to be. Take today: some colleagues organized an afterwork event and I wasn't invited. Other people weren't invited either so it wasn't just me, but who cares, I wasn't, and I thought I got on with these people and was part of the team or something, guess not. I could pretend they thought I wouldn't enjoy it or didn't want to pressure me, but I find that an extremely unlikely proposition - they simply didn't really want me there. It's just like school, a popularity contest, nothing changes. Outcast then, outcast now.

And the best part is I get warnings, like I have the thought in my head about this thing which I think might be a mistake "don't put all your eggs in one basket bro" (how when I only have one basket and don't know how to make more?) but I soldier on anyway because I want to *believe* there's something there, though deep-down I know it's actually empty vapid nothing, but do it anyway because I have nothing else. It's always my fault, like everything.

Give it a few days and I'm back to baseline, clinging to these little flights of fancy and blatantly false perceptions - pathetic.

Anonymage 05/26/26 (Tue) 12:29:41 No.44285

it's an anime, so it's automatically garbage if you're older than 13 (or mentally older than 13).

i remember watching it and it was basically a very cheaply animated mecha anime with the main character Shinji being a shy loser that gets bullied by everyone including his father, so you can self-insert as him like most anime dweebs. there was nothing noteworthy about it until the final episode which comes out of nowhere and gets a bit philosophical. there's "symbolism" throughout the series but even the director admits it was hack bullshit, like he added crosses and angels cuz "they seemed cool" with no real deeper message or point, but of course for the midwits it's all still very deep. the two anime babes aren't even particularly cute or interesting, despite wearing tight leather suits through the series. again, anime dweebs will assure you that these are the hottest succubi in anime but one is an angry bitch and the other is an empty vessel, so you get to pick your fetish, femdom or a puppet doll that has no desires or thoughts of her own.

Genuinely one of the few shows I forced myself to finish because I kept thinking "surely it'll get better". I do not understand why people are so obsessed with it, I don't care about your show's supposed symbolism if the MC is so annoying he makes me want to quit watching your show. It just seemed like it's trying too hard to be deep and profound, which I guess is why it's been so popular with normies as of late.

That's kind of precisely why it was popular in anime circles. But this shit has existed for over 20 years, why is it suddenly "cool" now? I KNOW if I tried to show this to any of my…"friends" is the wrong word, acquaintances is better, if I tried to show this to them back then, they would ask me why I was still watching cartoons at my age.

>>44285
I mean, it was cool for it's organic mecha for the time. And I can see why it had it's hooks for 90s nerds/otaku, like it's specifically designed *for* them.

All I can understand is that anime has become "cool" enough that it will absorb (or has absorbed) shit like NGE, the same way it's absorbed things like Taxi Driver. I see so many "literally me" vids polluting the internet of Travis Bickle but you ask any of them if they've ACTUALLY sat down and watch Taxi Driver, most of them will say no.

happy new year and all of that.

treat yourself to some sesame paste if you never head any. i regret learning about this so late, i can't help but want to warn others on not missing out on this goodness. it is just one ingredient crushed industrially into paste: sesame seeds.

when you buy it in the store it is separated and the separation is strong. when you stick a spoon in and try to stir, the bottom is so strong that the spoon can not stir. and you have to shake it and keep it in a shook state.

the sesame paste hides behind a bit of effort but the reward is worth the extra work.

the taste is amazing. mild and nutty. the nice thing about this is that it has a high fat content but it is not as impossible to digest as oil is. it still has it's fiber.

i use this to make sauces without oil. i just put tomatos and herbs into a blender and then i add a few tablespoons of this stuff and it turns into a nice creamy sauce but a sauce that the human organism has the chance to actually digest reasonably.

this stuff is so good, i wonder why it is not sold in regular supermarkets, i bother to go to the muslim markets just to get this goodness.

That's how I saw this for a long time as well but I heard someone explain this "metacrisis" as a bunch of prisoner's dilemmas / multipolar traps essentially. Let's say people like us are a tribe and we do our best to live simply and in as much harmony with nature as we can manage, so maybe hunter-gatherer plus what little agri/horticulture can be managed without animal husbandry. As soon as any other tribe begins to engage in agriculture and so on, they will radically increase their population, manage to specialize, increase their offensive technology and so on. Basically everyone else now is forced to also engage in these actions if they want to survive against this other tribe. Of course this leads to a race to the bottom type dynamic where the state of the whole gets much worse due to the increasing burden on the natural world, conflict between tribes and so on, yet nobody feels like they can afford to not use these new technologies, otherwise they will get destroyed by those that do. And dynamic applies in all aspects of life and the ratchet-effect-worsening of things year after year.
The issue is that those people who want such power and are good at acquiring it are usually the kinds of psycho- and sociopaths who should least have it, yet they are the ones driving the larger changes in the system due to the mechanism above.

Like you I try to do small acts of intentionally limiting myself, consciously going against this constant propaganda to consume more, be more comfortable, not think about any of these issues and so on. I'm quitting coffee for instance, since I don't live in a place where it grows naturally and habitually drinking something that requires multi-continental supply chains is no longer something I want to engage in, no matter how normalized it is in industrialized nations. I'm doing similar things with the rest of my diet as well.

yeah this is why we can't have nice things, maybe this would change once people realize that every form of technology is automatically a weapon but this would require responsibility and responsibility is the thing people built weapons for in order to avoid it.

race to the bottom sounds like an awesome name for a band or a podcast.

it is quite difficult to carve out a little space to survive while the race is happening indeed. when keeping in mind what you just succeeded in expressing, everything that is worth capturing will eventually be part of the corrupting efforts of competing groups which is why human progress can only happen in the realm of maximum insignificance. as soon as you get popular, some group tries to turn you into fodder for the cannon. the difficulty of the age in which people refuse to understand that competition is the problem (and not the solution) is to remain underneath the threshold of detection as to avoid otherwise inevitable corruption.

>And dynamic applies in all aspects of life and the ratchet-effect-worsening of things year after year.

it is quite challenging trying to keep up with the rate at which things are enshittifying through self-sufficiency but what else is there.

>The issue is that those people who want such power and are good at acquiring it are usually the kinds of psycho- and sociopaths who should least have it, yet they are the ones driving the larger changes in the system due to the mechanism above.

you have reached the point at which you can see the inferiority of a system that is based on money and violence in which a a few disproportionately influence what the many get to hear based on the whims of psychopaths and their secret world of 5d chess.

the solution to this is look for the information yourself. in this case i believe it means: you have to know how each type of food is digesting in your human body.

in the beginning you might not be able to know all the details like ph-values about everything but you are equipped with everything to solve this puzzle. you can tell how long something travels through you, how it makes you feel, if you feel tired, hopeless and depressed or strong, optimistic and full of life. meanwhile advertisement and convenience try to seduce you.

>last significant discovery in nutritional science was the discovery of the vitamins in the early 20th century

don't limit yourself to science if you are so far as to understand that science is but the expression of the inferior system. science found the lymphatic system in the brain only a few years ago while others knew this for a long time. recently they (the science bitches) found the brain converts glucose to fructose.

Great post. While I luckily I've never been poor I've long since grown out of the fantasy that you can just "make it" by working hard or whatever. Nowadays there is little to no upwards mobility in developed countries and it's probably much worse if you live in the third world. So it's mainly a game of trying to keep and maintain what you already have and finding peace in that. I've never seriously imagined moving out but the fact that I wouldn't be able to even if I wanted stings sometimes. Or sometimes I will look at cars online the way you do and then remember that if my current car breaks I will be simply SOL because I can't afford to buy even something used. Eastern philosophies sometimes help me with these things, you know, "accepting what is" and all that.

While having had no real money my entire life, I don't have any real hatred or bitterness about this, only this sense of meaninglessness and repulsion that society is based around this animal-like mode of living where you spend your existence gathering resources. Maybe it really is better to die and having money just shields you from experiencing the worst of it.

it's not like you're physically suffering, so it's still possible to change your mindset to enjoy life. you don't have to work so you're free to just chill all day. if your toxic family gives you shit, turn it around on them and make their lives miserable. this will improve your mood.

realistically, you have like a top 10% life on this planet if you don't have to work and you have access to the internet. yeah your self-esteem is probably low but you can just decide not to give a shit about that and live the life of a free-spirited mooch. become a trickster and fuck with the norms and take advantage of them.

if that doesn't work, then by all means hang yourself, you just need a sturdy anchor point.

Might just be one of the myriad of things from health issues to shit life syndrome, but I've been thinking maybe my small living space is affecting me.

Still live "at home" in a flat with my mom at 30, my room is 2.5m x 5m so 12.5 square meters. (134.549 ft²american)
With all the furniture I have a usable space of about 0.8m x 3m maybe, so less than 3sqm. (25.833 ft²)
Spend all day sitting at my desk anyways so whatever.

Been wondering if maybe this tiny space is part of the reason why I just don't do anything.
Do any of you have experience with living in a small space for a decade+?

Having worked in soulless corporate offices it's definitely a thing I'd say. But I think it's also heavily related to general feelings of being trapped, of your life passing you by or that you are wasting your time. Those certainly exacerbate it. If you have quiet spaces or better, nature somewhere in your surroundings you need to go for walks. Or just sit outside sometimes. Recently I've gotten great relief from just expanding my field of view by sitting outside. Looking into the distance, having the sky far above me, no walls that close me in. I think it's a simple animal reality that we are not made to sit statically in one spot and stare at a fixed distance while being enclosed on all sides. Animals are the same way too and we aren't much more than that.

It's not about being bored really.
I'm fine with sitting at my desk, my computer has been my whole world for 20-22 years now.
The issue is that some actions need to be taken if I wish to improve my lot which seem fairly trivial in the grand scheme of things.
Regardless having such limited range/space makes things difficult as some thoughts/plans you can't translate to reality.

A simple example would be needing certain exercises for improving ones posture, back, something like that.
You lack the space (to even lie down fully) so, since the option isn't realistic, your mind just dismisses the thought of exercise completely.
It is of course not impossible, jumping through some extra hoops would surely make it an option, but a much less desirable one than doing some simple stuff at home.

I do agree with the jest in part. Naming things, diagnosing things is fruitless. I should have tried to phrase/approach the topic of limited living spaces in a way that fosters discussion.

you think attention is behaving inflationary?

since attention is treated like a currency in a monetized internet and the money is inflationary on it's own, i would wonder if the inflation from the money is infecting something that in it's own would not necessarily behave inflationary (as in getting more and more worthless as time progresses). human life is finite, maybe this forces attention to increase in value the older someone gets. i'd call that deflation.

human attention; the thing youtube says it sells to advertisers when you ask the company behind it how it got all the money…

is human attention worth more today or worth less today when you compare it to 5 years ago?

when you try to use money as a measure to answer this, you will get two numbers and i expect one to be higher then the other. but this might not be wise to do because just because something costs more money, it does not mean it is more valuable. that difference might be measuring nothing but unimportant predictable boring waves inside the ocean that is the monetary system and not represent any actual value whatsoever.

Pretty much. At some point I just surrendered. I truly tried to do a lot of things, maybe it's some mental problem, but I could just never act on anything that wasn't directly stimulating.
At some point even those lost any appeal.

Indeed, to the point where I developed panic attacks whenever I'm around people or even talk to them over voice calls lately.
I can't even control it. It's very weird.

Much was lost as you say. I lost interest in most if not all things and without caring about anything, what do you even talk about with people?
I asked an anon this above >>307748 and the response was as expected… they don't have much to talk about with people either.
What would I even do if I had friends? I can't tell you.

I was motivated for a bit.

I couldn't connect to people at all aside from the somewhat forced interactions due to the nature of the engagement/game.

How to stop caring? Anonymage 04/17/25 (Thu) 23:29:37 No.223082 [Reply]

How do you genuinely just stop caring about everything shitty in your life? I just want to become numb to it all. People always say you shouldn't, but whenever I let myself feel any small amount of happiness the feeling of sadness/depression that I'll inevitably feel later is so painful it makes me wish I just didn't feel anything at all in the first place. Meditation has gotten close to this and I like the peace it gives me but I wish I felt that peace all the time.

The best way to stop caring is to no longer be able to care because of fatigue, either physical or mental fatigue.

I've seen this discussed in many threads so I made a thread for it. Many wizzies had had their life destroyed by psychiatric medication be it SSRI's, antipsychotics, benzodiazepines or others. A psych ward stay tends to leave you worse off. Some people get abused in psychiatric institutions. Mentioning you are sad and thinking about suicide to a doctor or nurse can get you forcefully restrained and tranquilised.
I'm suicidal but I avoid any medical help precisely for this reason.

I've read lots into psych stuff this is a fun lecture
https://youtu.be/Af5RSk6Bx-Y

The same thing actually applies for medicine in generally to a degree tbh.

If you look into stuff on your own there is some value to be gotten from it, if you understand what psychiatric disorders are. (Loose collections of symptoms categorized so they can do research on what treatments help them)
No psych drugs are even expected to actually fix anything, they simply lower the metrics in the symptoms.

There are some therapeutic techniques that do have very good improvement rates for certain things in terms of modern psychology, you have to look them up for what specific things you might be diagnosed with though (don't trust it just because a psych told you it, figure it out on your own, ai is helpful.)

Apart from that I greatly prefer jungian depth psychology stuff but hard to find anyone for that probably have to do it on your own.

One of the key things I'm annoyed is never talked about is the idea of transference. It's a per-requisite for most psychological stuff to work in terms of therapy. Depth psychologists talked about it more explicitly, but modern ones talk about it but just more academically.

Basically the precondition for therapy to work is seeing yourself as inferior to the therapist and basically inflating the idea of the therapist and even divinizing them to a degree, this is what lets the therapeutic relationship function and if you aren't willing to do that it will not.
No one ever told me this but I would not have bothered with trying it if I did. In depth psychology they talk about it in terms of as a beginning stage, but one that has to be ended. (Jung specifically says at a certain point more analysis/therapy is harmful). Modern ones don't have that and instead keep people in this perpetual infantile state so they can drain them of money.

Honestly you are better of for the most part trying to write down as best you can your life story, all your psychiatric issues and ask an AI to analyze it, provide differential diagnosis of what it could be. Then look into how to distinguish between those, then when you fPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I doubt this, studies often find no or negligable improvement rate in symptoms, most famously certain commonly used antidepressants actually increase suicide rates.

Rest of your post reads like "yeah it's all bullshit but there are a few nuggets here and there".

Your final advice is to diagnose and determine treatment yourself (with AI) which is specifically the role of the doctor or therapist and then seek help from the people who specifically fail to do this.

There is no way you can reasonably be expected to do all this to get help from the psych system, best to avoid it alltogether.

>>307932
The aim of the treatments is lowering particular metrics, those metrics may not include suicide rates. For things like depression in order to market it as a anti-depression drug you would find some "Depression" metric there are a ton of tests you can take, then they test you before and after treatment and if the metric is lower it "worked". It's not all metrics, it's literally just determining one specific measure like a depression inventor like pic rel.

The purpose of a shrink is not a singular thing. If you are confident to a degree in what your symptoms are associated with there are treatements that don't require a psych (meditation/exercise, etc) and ones that do. Group therapy, specific forms of one on one therapy (schema therapy, cbt) guided exposure stuff, etc.

It is better not to see shrinks as like people with authority or responsibility, but more as tools.
Doing your own exposure therapy for example is hard to do, having a person who is aware of how it works to guide you through it is helpful. If you are aware for your condition certain group therapy procedures results in good outcomes, you can find one in your city to do that.

Doctors should be viewed as tools to be used in treatments, not as competent authorities on their own. If you view them that way they are fine, you just can't offload your own responsibility on to them. If you want to do that as I said I'd suggest depth psychology as they actually deal with that transference concept more directly.

Anonymage 05/26/26 (Tue) 04:56:27 No.308010

>>307969
This isn't at all how doctors and shinks present themselves and market their treatments. If you visit a shrink or mental hospital you are expected to be diagnosed by someone within the system. If you "diagnose yourself" and for example determine Xanax to be the best treatment you will be treated like an addict and your request for certain treatments will be denied.
Doctors also specifically present themselves as authorities and while some will put up "being used as tools" they will resist any approach you ask for which isn't in the treatment flowchart of the medical system already.
Psychiatric medication is typically explained to the patient as follows "take these pills and you'll feel better". They never warn about side effects or explain it only lowers certain metrics.
You can insist upon certain things to a certain extent, but once you don't follow the internal logic of the psych system you are kicked out.

what does your body 'think' about you?
>about your management of your personal human organism.
>about your decisions on what to put in it, or on it.
>about where you take it and when and how often.
>about how you use it

i reject the normoid idea that the body can not think or have an opinion. electricity flows into every cell, not just the bracrabls. life and emotion are all over the body except for in those people who believe their body is just a machine used to park the brain in front of screens.

i do think the body is it's own thing and ideally it is in a mutual loving relationship with the brain. i guess many group-minded people who know nothing but war will have a hostile relationship between body and brain.

i take good care of my body and i love it. it has been so good to me and i always give it enough sleep and put good food in and exercise it and then when i am doing something, it is so accomodating, supportive and helpful. i can not help but suspect it knows me and happily helps me through life. i am fully aware that this is not most people's experience. but it could be most people's experience.

the body has it's own path too and if a brain can understand the path the body tries to walk, decisions can be made to help the body along which then lead to benefits for the entire organism.

i guess i am trying to say the potential for harmony within the organism exists despite so few people stumbling upon it. i guess the obstacle in reaching this state is the corruption process that seeks to consume everyone. those who can see the corruption in others have an easier time dodging it.

what you dismiss as mere personification of the body rests upon the fact that i am basically software that is running my body. i am an operating system that runs the conscious voluntary part of this biological machine. you could replace me with the operating system of someone who lived 500 years ago and then it would not be me running this body, the body could function though.

however this perspective i am thus humoring assumes that i am not the ultimate best answer to the question "who should run this body, what should be his abilities, priorities" and i am wondering if i might be. i may have been grown to be the best possible operator of this machine because the consciousness of this machine (that you are in denial of) groomed me to address problems that occured in previous iterations of the machine. i have solved the problems that limited my father, i figgured stuff out by learning from him. he did the same, he improved upon what his father did. i suspect this process has been going for a while.

assuming you are correct and the body is not conscious then explain to me how the body knows when a good moment to poop is and when there isn't. when it is the worst time to poop, the body pauses until a better moment arrives. this is stuff the body is running in the background but it is running it so good that it can coordinate with your schedule. if now is a bad time to poop, your body understands that and my question is how. i assume it reads your emotions and the information you collect with your senses. does that not sufficiently represent a form of consciousness? your digestion knows what is happening in your life enough so it knows when to poop. do you know your digestion enough to know what to eat? because if you don't then i could argue your digestion not even IS conscious but is even MORE conscious then you are.

>I don't think plants, fungi, invertebrates think or have opinions.

i heard trees coordinate their airspace so that other trees are not in competition with each other for sun and rain. some say they communicate and share resources with each other. i have not looked into it too deeply but this is what i would expect of something that is alive and unable to move.

ants are an empire.

fungi have their own internet.

>Further animals with consciousness like cats, while they have consciousness are not intelligent and don't have any more complex thinking than "in this place I can find food" or "I like this human".

i think you are not privy to a lot of information that would lead you to believe otherwise. i think cat's live a crazy life, they are strong, dangerous with impressive movement ability and sense perception but they also have the worst digestive load. they have to digest flesh which requires strong acid and a lot of time. i am so thankful to have my digestion and not that of a cat.

>Your post reminds me of this untrue belief plants and flowers can feel things and are self-aware, while any significant consciousness starts at animals with a small brain like mice and birds.

I don't see how this post refutes my argument or advances your own.
When something goes wrong or well in your body your nerves connected to it create these pleasant or unpleasant sensations. You somehow claim there is something intelligent hidden behind hunger or pain while it's just blood sugar dropping, nerves picking this up, and sending this info to the more voluntary part of your nervous system.

My argument is that consciousness is strictly located in the central nervous system, which makes most of the body a non-conscious flesh slave to the brain. As for defecation there are tiny nerves wired up to the digestive system which monitor and control the entire pooping mechanism. If you damage the nerves but leave the bowels intact you get incontinence, loss of voluntary control of digestive functions while there is no pain, meanwhile if the digestive system is damaged but the nerves are intact you actually feel pain.
>i heard trees coordinate their airspace so that other trees are not in competition with each other for sun and rain.
I'm not saying it isn't alive, I'm saying these organisms are not-conscious. There is no "passenger" or soul stuck in a plant or fungus. Ancient Greek philosophers used to discuss which creatures had souls and which has not. Forming complex structures by itself is not exclusive to life, I wouldn't say mineral crystals communicate with each other because they compete for resources.
>i think cat's live a crazy life, they are strong, dangerous with impressive movement ability
Their life experience in the wild is characterised by struggling to hunt for food their entire life. Nothing like human beings which have language, abstraction, religion, complex social structures. Their primal animal "intelligence" which makes them remember where there is food or get sad when one of their kittens dies is nothing compared to a human's mental and emotional capabilities.

Conformity and imitation drives human behaviour Anonymage 05/09/26 (Sat) 06:07:08 No.307650 [Reply]

I have become increasingly depressed at the state of discourse about almost any subject. Look at the opinions of most people and discuss their reasoning with them; they do not really have reasons based on experience or logic. They are just saying things they think are normal to say. They imitate others. They understand the world through memes. Zero actual curiosity or critical thinking skills when it comes to discussion of politics/culture/history/science/art. Everyone just parrots what they think others think. They think in memes. Partly to fit in and achieve social acceptance and partly just monkey see monkey do like a child or animal.

Democracy is a failure because most people have no idea what they are voting for or what the consequences will be. They just follow the cultural memes. The internet has exacerbated this. Most people’s political views or views on the culture are just glorified SIX SEVEN repetitions - people have no good justification for any of the ideas they follow.

It might sound arrogant and supercilious to say these things. I worry that I am not that different and I just copy things sometimes by instinct. Makes me wonder if the self even fucking exists and we are just biological self replicating robots copying things.

Depressing. Enraging.

Security is actually not a bad gig for your typical wizzie and it can very rewarding, but you do need to get lucky with finding the right job I feel. Yea, you can probably just accept the first security job you come across if you're really desperate, but it might consist of you being forced to stand on your feet the entirety of your shift in some retail store or public facing venue dealing with NPC normies all day who want to fight you and cause trouble, and it would drain your wiz-battery pack quickly and then you would end up hating it. Here's some wiz-tips for finding an ideal security job:

1) Don't just accept just any security gig that you're offered, always try to ask around to find out exactly what the job consists of. It'll also depend on the security company you apply to, some of them will be clear and upfront with you about the job requirements as well as the locations you'll be working at, while others will be very evasive because they just need to fill the post and don't really care much about their workers. I would recommend avoiding those type of places. A decent security company will be upfront with you about their expectations as well as the work environment. At the same time you can't be a floor mat yourself and just accept whatever job post you're offered, if you don't think you'll like working at a job site - don't accept it.

2) Try to do some research on the security company that you're applying to and what kind of sites they staff, for example some of them will focus exclusively on public facing venues like security at concerts, retail stores, normie social events, and if you're just looking for some easy sit down on your butt do-nothing jobs, then you'll obviously probably want to avoid those. Try to get some previous employee feedback about the company that you're applying to, you can google the employer and their reviews and read what previous employees said about working there, whether if it's a good place or not. An ideal wizzie security job is one where you'll be mostly working by yourself, isolated from the general public and your duties mostly consisting of sitting down, occasionally doing some patrol rounds or watching the CCTV cameras on a monitor. Places like industrial areas, warehouses, after-hours medical facilities, etc. when all the normies are gone, etc. those can be good environments to work at.Post too long.

Mine rolled off at the 10 year mark - HR said come back in a month (10 years to the day) and I had the job.

The years before that were tough, tried getting into hospital or government work, entry level, but the minor record sent my resume to the shredder every time.

>put you someplace and are turned into a receptionist
I get that sometimes. Amazing how people can't be bothered to ask the actual front desk where the lady with the phones and directory sits and instead gloms onto the guy with a full cart or tools.

Landed a machinery maintenance job In a factory about a year ago.
Was incredibly hard at first and thought about quitting multiple times, somehow I managed to survive.

This shit is still hard to me as I'm not handy at all, and most of the time i don't know what the fuck I'm doing, specially now that I'm alone at my shift. Some days I don't know how to pass the time and others I don't even have time to eat. The only upside is that's a job in high demand (basically every company is short staffed because they literally can't find anyone), and once all the genX retire it's gonna be in even higher demand because very few millennials took this career path. I highly doubt Ai or thirdies will take this job.

I feel so bad for the nice hot meal I cooked having to go immediately in to the cold fridge for tomorrow's lunch. I also feel bad for myself for having to go to work. At least I will have a nice, albeit cold, lunch to eat. Wizards love to put in a little effort today to make tomorrow's slavery a little easier. I hope that if I fall off the scaffolding and die, It happens after I have enjoyed my lunch.

Creatine Monohydrate should be supplemented because to get a full working dose one would need to eat an entire chicken dinner's worth of beef. It's vital in the human body's functions that relate to not being unhealthy. I've been taking it for years and I'm very strong and smart and large.

>>307661
That seems like a lot to take in but many men's health support supplements cover much of that in two doses. Ideally much of this shouldn't be supplemented but rather acquired through an actual balanced diet, but that would probably give a caloric surplus for the average NEET.

I was rereading the original run of The Avengers to keep boredom at bay, and yet again I'm impressed by John Buscema's artwork. I checked his wiki page and there's this passage in there:
"Buscema's passion for drawing was such that he continued to draw and sketch in his spare time, often on the back of comic book art pages, and these images form a considerable body of work in their own right. His brother Sal Buscema recalled,

This guy used to eat, sleep and breathe drawing. It didn't matter what was going on around him. He would get bored with it and start sketching. … He just couldn't stop drawing. [His back-of-board sketches were] better than some of the stuff that he did on the front. … He'd get a spark of inspiration and turn the page over and draw whatever was in his skull"

How nice it must be to have such passion and drive for something.

For any action to occur, the discomfort of doing nothing needs to outweigh the discomfort of moving, and the good news for you is that any retard these days can devise a plan of action if they have a clear objective in mind.
