It'd be much more simple if the government would just allow us to carry guns for self-defense. I always carry a sharp weapon when going out even if it's illegal, that still makes me safer than taking MMA ever could.

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 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.

Thank you for this recommendation. This is fascinating. Listening to a podcast about him. Yes, the theory of desire being mimetic makes sense. As does the idea that the subject of copying becoming a rival. This being a basis of violence. Therefore competitive violence is, for want of a better word, natural or inevitable. Scapegoating becomes the way of attaining stability. Makes sense. One can see it in schools.

 No.309566

I know what you mean. The worse thing is what this means for effective education, law and order and politics. If people are just copiers then it sort of defeats the purpose of democracy. Nobody can even agree on what words mean so rational debate becomes fraught if not impossible (Hobbes).

Progressive parenting and schooling is built on the idea that kids behaviour is either rationally driven or driven by emotional problems created by experiences. e.g. ‘little Billy is acting out and getting angry because of some trauma that needs to be listened to.’ Similarly progressive approaches to law and order rest on the same concept; ‘people commit crimes because they had broken childhoods or make a rational decision because they are desperate for money and food.’
By contrast more conservative approaches to crime see it as a fundamental moral failing - sin.

If I am right and a lot of human behaviour is driven by literal f all except copying other and habit then it means that quite a lot of crime and violence and disruptive behaviour really is straightforwardly fixable by brainwashing, training and habit building.

Yeah I did not explain the context as I was in an emotional state at the time of writing. I had been reading some Buddhist texts - one story about Nagasena and King Milinda stuck out to me.
You can read it for yourself: https://suttacentral.net/mil1/en/kelly?lang=en&layout=plain&reference=none&notes=asterisk&highlight=false&script=latin

I thought the only response to Nagasena’s thesis was that humans consciousness was the khanda that provided reality to the self. However, I have realised generally speaking human beings are not really conscious at all of their decisions. We just do things and our consciousness comes second. Our thoughts we experience are not our own. They come from another khanda not the conscious part. Our decisions and actions do not come from the conscious part of the khanda. They just arise and then we experience them then we pretend we made that decision. We are like robots.
Very depressing and disturbing.

I think age 31-32 was the point where I realized I'm too autistic and weird to ever have 'normal' things in life.

I will die either institutionalized or in some shitty rental with nothing to my name. Nothing that I dreamed about will ever become true.

Since 25 its as if the film reel that is my life ran out of film and it just kept spinning and projecting a blank screen.

There was never a sense of urgency for me to "adapt" and get a respectable career once i graduated college. That sense of urgency that grips normies and compels them to achieve, network, form relationships just didn't exist in me. i never gave a shit about other people around me or my reputation etc. My parents divorced when i was 7 and i don't think they actually wanted to have children. Mom was abusive and died, dad is emotionally distant and never seemed to have actively engaged with me to mold and shape me into a functional adult. he just let me do whatever, so i just lazed around and fucked off.

I have this instinctive laziness. I bowed out of any classes that involved math or numbers at all. Got a worthless degree. I'm 35 now and I've been working as an overnight security guard for the past 4 years. I literally do nothing all night for 8 hours. I just sit at a desk. I'm on the clock typing this right now.

I feel like you have to be on some kind of continual, upward trajectory so that by the time you're 30 you're established and at cruising altitude; financially, professionally, socially, and romantically. I did "nothing" all of my 20s.

I enjoy the simple pleasures of life. a cigarette alone at the park, a local pizza, good pilsner, good books, and having peace and quiet without pressure from the world of normies or my family

I feel as though I also had this weird sense of laziness during my 20s. I always had healthy anxiety to get things done, but I always thought things would eventually fall into place. Coincidentally I spent my 20s as a security guard until I decided to get a CDL. At 34 I now have this sense of finality. This is it. This is my life until I die, which I hope is soon.


>I enjoy the simple pleasures of life. a cigarette alone at the park, a local pizza, good pilsner, good books, and having peace and quiet without pressure from the world of normies or my family

I don't know what "for the better" would even mean. I have no dreams or ambitions or goals. If I could ask a genie for anything in the world I don't know what would help me without completely restructuring my personality to be a totally different person.
I guess the answer is no since I don't believe it's actually possible to rewire your personality in that way.

Somewhat sad in a way, you have to break their spirit. They become excited for food, being let out, and to see you. It's not the natural way but flags the reward centers in their brains. I'm glad I had the experience but probably wouldn't do it again.

What is the average wizard's relationship with religion like? No religious person has ever been able to give me a good argument for why God, if he is out there, is not the most maximally evil being in the universe simply by the virtue of creating suffering when he could have chosen not to. Saying "suffering builds character" and derivatives of is just a manifestation of their stockholm syndrome for this vile entity

Does anyone else voluntarily exile themselves from society?

I'm tired of socializing, drama, human interests, social demands, social everything.

I wish I was a machine instead of a talking ape. I actually hate being an animal.
I don't even hate people, I just don't want to be in any contact with them. I even hate my own body for forcing me to eat and wash in order to not completely dysfunction.

Guns obviously, if you hate camping and very real isolation you might not like living off grid. Depending on how much you want to spend, be prepared to sacrifice some creature comforts, or at least don't expect to have 24/7 access to them.

Look into a solid generator and solar power stations along with a wood stove. A kerosene heater works great in the winter. I would recommend cooking outside to avoid getting moisture in your structure and potential mold over time without proper ventilation. Cover all of your bases in terms of power to your shack.

Can your food because refrigeration is borderline impossible unless you want to spend out the ass in propane, but if you live in a bright warm climate year round you might be able to power one with a solar inverter.

Build a shower stall and use a battery operated rechargeable camp shower, I bought mine for $25 I think. I like to heat water in a pot, then drop the pump in it.

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.

hypnosis is mostly a meme. people psyche themselves out all the time but it doesn't last because it's not a deep, systematic change and there is nothing to hold it. the same factors that created the problem will create it again.

the thing with these mashup therapies is that combining multiple useless approaches just creates another useless approach. they should invent an everything therapy where they just go from A to Z and use every possible therapeutic technique until something works. it would save people time if they could just speedrun the disappointment and then go try something else, usually spirituality or psychedelic drugs as their last cope.

>When did middle aged housewives get hooked on them? Back in the late 90s and early 00s?
SSRIs were gently pushed to the publis as if they wee a dietary aid or boner pill. Someone could be "In the know" about them without ever having seen a doctor or read any reports on them. The symptoms SSRIs are said to cure are just the regular, temporary symptoms associated with menopause and having your kids leave the nest. These succubi were sold on the idea that their lethargy was chronic and that these pills would make them feel young again. They've always been the target buyerbase for SSRIs. The eruption of young people, especially men, taking SSRIs is a new phenomenon

I was a local meme posted all over the internet in my country/town.

The jist of it was me walking into establishments asking for a job whilst my father was standing at the doorway watching me. He's frowning, arms crossed. Track pants low enough exposing his ass crack. He's the typical boomer who has no awareness around him. He'd wear mismatched socks, ass crack showing. Sometimes he wears mega short shorts which was popular in my country for men back in the day for some reason. The issue is when he sits down on a chair his cock and balls and exposed and dangling out. Photos have been posted online. People treated me like some freakshow because of it. Luckily 10+ years later it's mostly memory holed. But holy shit I was ready to kill myself over that. People would drive by our house at night and shout insults at us. Imagine being in bed at 2am trying to get comfy and you hear "SHOW US YOU CRACK AND BALLS".
