How is it that white people have become so pathetic and self destructive in modern times? They can't express pride or love for their own people and skin color without being called racist, every predominately white country is expected to be flooded with other ethnic groups, and when those groups begin to take over by way of gaining political power its celebrated as progress. Whites no longer being the majority in their own countries is seen as a good thing, when the inverse would be seen as colonialism. What the hell happened?

i relapsed after being 4chan free for about 10 months because i searched up a magic word.
even if this isn't 4chan, i still consider this defeat because i see no difference.

What's your setup look like?

I'm interested in things better than Duckduckgo and Signal, almost normie tier advice. I'm not full schizo (yet) so I'm still exploring different setups

Do you have a place where you feel good to be; a secret place only you know that you go and feel at ease and not stressed anymore? Can you tell us what is this place that make you feel calm?

Since the last decade, there have been sporadic threads here on wizchan and elsewhere around the net regarding dead Internet theory. I read these and brushed them off. I was continuing to have a palatable experience through the early 2020s. I used zero social media, so the bot problem, I felt, barely touched me directly. Not my problem; like a fat boomer grilling while a tornado shreds his neighbors backyard. Somehow, I continued to get something out of the net.

In the past three years or so, the bot problem has been compounded by the AI-generated content problem. The images do not bother me, nor do the videos. The music is just irritating. However, the text is a cancer.

Chatgpt and other LLMs have certain tics that puncture through any prompt intended to rectify these stylistic habits. These are well-known and well-mocked: the overuse of the en-dash, the justification of any hackneyed analysis by the "that's not X, that's Y", certain ways of blocking out text, the list goes on. The point is, after a while one sees these patterns, one hears these patterns when a hack on youtube recites a video essay.

It makes a piece of media immediately uninteresting to me. The content is liable to be depthless and generic, soul suckedout and sort of this same-old crap feel. Content generated by LLMs is all over now and spreading because people are human and lazy and also because bots. It's not hard for a midwit to leverage AI to become a video essayist catering to a bunch of people dumber than him. The result of this compounding is that increasingly it's like the bulk of the Internet's content comes from one hallucinating corporate mind laundered through the mouths (or copy-pastes) of a billion meatpuppets. The Internet is turning into a choir singing with the voice of a singular constructed mind.

There are these useless machine-generated webpages polluting search results with complete waste of time procedural websites. And the search engines themselves put an AI-generated answer before any of the traditional spidered results (the first several of which are predatory sponsored results). And of course, we now have armies of bots armed with LLMs as essentially psyop weapons driving siloed communities to utter detachment from reality, with a wider effect of making many of the actual humans still using the net psychologically rabid abusive cunts.

None of these observations are new. All of this is documented before. There are a thoPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

anyone living in the basement? how it is like? to you live near the washing machine? (lol) is it comfy? how many times you leave your basement?
The basement seems the perfect retreat room for a wizard. it's like our ivory tower. basically, you reash the basement to your taste and make it comfy.
The Wizard's dweller..

I've always wondered how a country of wizards would be run. Genuine inquiry. I don't wanna hear any normalnigger cope like "they'll just become degenerate like the rest of us lol!" normies say to make themselves feel better. I mean seriously. From my experience being around r9k and wizchan (being raised by them and being one for life), I've encountered many wizards over the years who are profoundly intelligent, but regular societal structures harm them to the point where they never realize their true potential. They are struggling to exist peacefully enough to attain self-actualization, which seems to the wizard's highest goal by instinct. No matter where they are in the world, the patterns are always the same.

Let's pretend that in this hypothetical country, there's an even mixture of wizards and virgin maidens.

I'm thinking the fertility rates would be low since they'll breed slower, but they'll produce higher quality offspring, mate for life monogamously and have big households. Since this is a high IQ population, they'll make better dietary decisions if animal proteins were cheaper, produce higher IQ offspring and have far higher impulse control than normal people. IQ is very important here, because it's connected to a long lifespan, stable families and an advanced society.

There won't be the constant pursuit of happiness or chasing the future, since most wizards are deeply aware of the dark realities of life and struggle to delude themselves like everyone else. Perhaps they'll understand the present moment is enough since its all there is, and being nihilistic is normal, and in a country like this, they won't have to feel alone. I know I certainly won't feel alone, but I don't know if other wizards would.

I believe the internet age in the 80s-90s was the most revolutionary step. For the first time in human history, the wizard discovered he is not alone in the world. At the heart of the internet, this was the most profound transformation that rippled outward. Now that we're already halfway into the millenium, I think a nation of wizards might be the next step into the future.

What do you guys think? I have never seen anyone discuss these hypotheticals before, ever.

>I hope to keep the site operating long enough for people to backup what they deem valuable and migrate elsewhere. I cannot give any specific date yet. Hopefully people can do organized effort on this, like a specific sub-section. There are other communities like this that can welcome you as long as you respect them in kind.

The situation in the booru "seems" to have stabilized and they are allegedly getting taken under Catbox, whereas the forum is 100% gonna get nuked. If you guys have content you like posted there SAVE IT, this is your last chance.
