What is the difference between a cop shooting you in the face, and a gang member shooting you in the face? What makes the former 'legit' and the latter 'criminal'?

Has there ever been one example in human history of that invisible entity calling itself 'government' that didn't exist outside of its self-declared right to kill you if you didn't do what it said? That a tiny minority (or even one single person) one day declaring "I am in charge, now. Bow down or I'll murder you." and everybody else inexplicably nodding and going along with this psychotic nonsense?

I'm not being an anarchist nor a lolbert. I fully understand the need for this objectively nonsensical situation in order for humanity to function and prosper. Without somebody holding a bigger stick than someone else, that someone else has no reason to behave himself.

And there is no stick bigger than God.

There wouldn't be ~3 billion Christians and Muslims if somebody didn't convince them all (with violence) that if they misbehaved that after they died an invisible sky fairy would exercise incalculable sadism by trapping them in trillion-degree lava for the rest of time.

And the only reason that this schizophrenic idea stuck is that somebody with a big stick told everyone else that "this bronze age book of barbaric bedtime stories is all true and in fact nothing is more true than it, so do what it says or I'll kill you AND THEN you will 'die the second death' by being trapped in trillion-degree lava until the end of time".

What is the point of this OP? Nothing, really. Just had this on my mind while lamenting that existence in its current form was a ghastly mistake, if there really is some sort of unmoved mover and ground of all things that created it. And that if there is no outside-of-time-and-physicality lawmaker behind the invisible concepts we call the laws of nature, that all there has ever been and all that there ever will be is a fully-automatic universe consisting of incomprehensibly small bits and bobbles bouncing around in the cosmic void, then there is no such thing outside of things, that what we call "concepts" are just us trying to cast invisible nets around invisible nonsense to try and make sense of an ultimately senseless existence.

Happy fucking Caturday.

There's got to be some way we can together figure out a way to make money with the AI boom. I missed out on crypto because I'm a fool. I was too young for the industrial revolution or the tech boom. But AI - I've got to make this work.

I know people make youtube motivational videos using AI for instance. Any other ideas?

Post ideas or guides to improve life as a wizard (ignore the modern bourgeois concept of personal development), calithenics at home, learn to draw, write, read books, quit porn, or whatever you think fits this topic.

>You have Avpd?
I need to know what it feels like, I am beginning to believe that the isolation and feeling of inadequacy is not depression and started in another way related to the traumatic rejection during my childhood and adolescence.
I read somewhere that Buddhist metta practice helps with this and I think it is helping me a bit but I have not exposed myself socially enough yet to test the effects of it on inadequacy and rejection.
>Also
I just want to be well and feel human, I ended up in a very big shithole in which I felt absolutely dehumanized, I don't want to get depressed or use drugs or end up worse.

NEETs online tell me all the time that they spend their days doing nothing, but then you find them playing some Co-op multiyplayer games the entire day and they have plenty of friends on Discord whom they game with daily for hours or watch Anime with Them or that they spend their days reading Books, I feel like a total N.P.C compared to them, at least they have hobbies and online friends, on the other hand I got no hobbies or online friends, I just talk long walks daily and lay in my bed at most I listen to Music or masturbate for 5 minutes (sorry for mentioning this) or browse Pinterest or this site not to count basics such as eating and going to toilet

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?

They don't have any other hobbies, Why don't you spend your free time to learn another language? I spend most of the day learning Russian and it's super easy to pick up on when you switch all all your media consumption to match the language you are learning. Music, streamers, forums. It's like a whole new world opens up to you. Things don't seem as boring.

>don't have job so I watch anime for up to 12 hours

Have any wizards did intermittent fasting before? I am planning to do a 24 hours fast only drinking water.I do the 16:8 fasting routine daily as well as having did 20:4 fasting before and a handful times of a 24 hours fast, it's relatively easy and gets further easier with the time, best thing is to start easy and build your way up

This might as well be the end. Jannies are abandoning ship and even if they open back again they won't be able to replace them because nobody will risk a doxx. Nobody will moderate the site, their source code got leaked almost entirely there's no way they will be back up again. This is the end of an era. Share your feelings regarding the site here, let this thread be a farewell to 4chan.
