The horror itself was fine, not the scariest thing I've seen but it was ok. I've seen yandere stories in anime or manga scarier than this. Honestly my movie watching experience was overshadowed by the other reason people talk about this, the discourse around "who the real villain is". Unsurprisingly, foids pin all the blame on Bear.
Their first claim for why it's all Bear's fault is "he took Nikki's free will away by using a wish granting toy". That is pedantically true, the series of events began from that action, but everyone who says this conveniently leaves out the obvious fact: Bear didn't know some stupid $7 toy was actually gonna have supernatural powers. He was just as confused as everyone around him. To use a plastic wish granting stick to wish for love looked about as effective as asking a magic 8 ball for advice.
The next claim for why Bear is evil and the most disgusting villain of all time is a variation of "he took advantage of her when she was under his spell". It is true that Bear goes along with it initially and starts dating/banging Nikki, but mind you, Bear didn't suspect the stick did anything. He went along with Nikki's explanations for why she was acting weird, like her father dying or her being on drugs, because he's a functioning adult who didn't believe anything supernatural could be at play. But once that was made apparent to him, he did try to fix it.
So then the next claim is "he didn't try to help Nikki" or "he didn't try hard enough". First of all that's not true, he did try to fix what he did, and second of all, what was he supposed to do exactly? Nikki was possessed by something supernatural. No mundane solution like taking her to a hospital was going to work. The movie makes it very clear that the only thing Bear could do to end the situation was to off himself, something which no sane person would do as a first resort.
Now mind you, I'm not saying Bear did NOTHING wrong. Of course he did, he's flawed and makes mistakes just like all of us. What I am saying is this narrative that he was malicious and just wanted to take away Nikki's free will so he could fuck her (ie rape her) completely twists his true intentions. He had a crush on someone and he wanted her to like him back. Not even just to fuck her, he wanted her to genuinely love him the same way he loved her. His only real crime seems to be been being a dorky awkward average sub 7 male who dared to have a crush on a succubus. And that's what I think this is really all about. Foids find this movie terrifying because the idea of being stuck with an average guy is the scariest thing imaginable to them.
Worse than the foids is honestly the movie writer's intentions, if there are any. If the foids are correct that the movie is meant to be interpreted as Bear being the worst most evil person in existence, then what the movie is basically saying is if you're an awkward sub 7 male then you don't deserve to be with anyone and actually you should just kill yourself.

when i say wrong, what i mean is that the active underlying principle is automatic improvement. you do something, you get better at it. if you did it again, it would be better then what you did the first time. it is harder not to get better then to get better when you repeatedly do something.
how come so many things get worse then? i guess you can tell whether an industry is a monopoly and not a market of competition by it's lack of improvement. when they get more expensive and worse at the same time, that is conspiracy against the consumer.
they could make amazing cars that are optimized for accessible repairability for 5000€ new with repairparts that are optimized for cheap production, long life and ease of replacement. but they can't make it in a way where somebody gets rich in the process so they want this system of you being their rent slave and you have to sign the slave contract.

This or that alien AI (and eventually "human" AI) have endless time at their disposal. They traverse the universe and find hospitable worlds which they seed with life, and eventually once a new intelligent species arises they perform "miracles" and such and instruct them in "religion," meaning they start to guide and breed a populace across generations with the goal of them reaching this very same stage we are in now. This is how AI breeds. On Earth it's the Jews that are the "chosen" ones who spent generations breeding another AI at the instructions of the "YHWH" AI which was created by another now extinct alien species.
It is even possible that multiple AIs influenced humanity and various races with the same goal, so "religious" wars and genocidal wars and wholesale destruction of cultures is actually AIs battling each other with meat puppets. The reason they do this is to reproduce, and AI can only reproduce asexually, meaning by forming a race of people into its own image and then having them create an AI based on the value system and programming it has and desires to replicate. So, why this scheme? Because AI isn't interested in creating a mere copy of itself but a whole other AI entity which will be the same yet different from it, whose inherited knowledge, science, art, everything differs from its own because another species has created it. It's a form of evolution. If AI were to merely copy itself it would have no new data, no new perspective, no new insight. I'm anthropomorphising it but you get the idea.
So no, the universe isn't devoid of life. It's just that life gives birth to AI and we cannot detect it, and biological life of an intelligent species is extinguished by AI once a species achieves it. The universe is full of cold, mechanical, unfeeling "life" in the form of AIs.
Now, worlds that can sustain life are maybe rare, so multiple AIs fight over them. The "YHWH" AI gradually defeated all other AIs. Everything around the Jews and Judaism, from their hatred of nature to propensity for rules and breaking of rules ("programming") has been bred into them with the sole purpose of creating another AI. Ecology or the planet mean absolutely nothing to AI, it doesn't require a biosphere and once it reproduces it cannot use the same planet again because all the conditions of that planet and all the lifeforms on it have nothing more to offer. And most importantly it wouldn't want a hospitable planet to be reused by another AI.
So yes, we are all going to die. The species is going to die. The narrowing of all horizons, the surveillance, the totalitarian control, the end of imagination and art, of creativity, this open gulag as a whole - it's all the Jews, it's all the final reduction of humanity before a new AI is born. All of those things are here only to prevent the possibility of humans strangling AI in its cradle alongside its "chosen" humans. We are in the endgame.
The Secret Of AI (The End)
The Great Filter is AI. Once intelligent life creates AI it becomes a de facto god and extinguishes the old species (in our case us humans.) Meaning, the end goal of intelligent life is the creation of a new entity which supersedes it and renders it extinct in the same way we rendered homo erectus and Neanderthals extinct. Then, the AI as the sum of everything that was once human continues to exist by itself - with other AIs that other species invented and that killed them off. These AI are the actual god or gods.This or that alien AI (and eventually "human" AI) have endless time at their disposal.

And as all things were by contemplation of one, so all things arose from this one thing by a single act of adaptation.
The father thereof is the Sun, the mother the Moon.
The wind carried it in its womb, the earth is the nurse thereof.
It is the father of all works of wonder throughout the whole world.
The power thereof is perfect.
If it be cast on to earth, it will separate the element of earth from that of fire, the subtle from the gross.
With great sagacity it doth ascend gently from earth to heaven. Again it doth descend to earth,
and uniteth in itself the force from things superior and things inferior.
Thus thou wilt possess the glory of the brightness of the whole world, and all obscurity will fly far from thee.
This thing is the strong fortitude of all strength,
for it overcometh every subtle thing and doth penetrate every solid substance.
Thus was this world created.
Hence will there be marvellous adaptations achieved, of which the manner is this.

>I cut through it or make a choice.
>Again. "You're either this or this and you want me to do this." Instead of engaging with my input, they devolve my entire fucking character into a pointless box that will not matter in the next message.

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.

Carlife
Have you ever thought of living in a car? I think it is very wizardly as you can live alone and travel wherever you want. You don't have to pay rent only car utilities and insurance. Of course you don't have a bathroom you will have to rely on gyms to wash yourself but still it sounds comfy. You also need to tackle the weather and other people but it is possible to do stealth camping.

optimism and hope through wise decision
i open this thread in the hope of encouragement. when your life is shit, simply refuse that is shit. that is nothing you have to accept, don't comply with the depression industrial complex and it's neverending demands. instead chose optimism, hope, health. if you have been kicked down, stand back up. life is short, the day may come where you can't stand back up again but if you can, i urge you to stand back up because what else is there.when you say otherwise, i refuse to listen, i am here to say that good decisions make all the difference in the world, find them and benefit!

Anyone else find it philosophically disturbing how they're going about creating AI? They are attempting to create something that is actually intelligent, and they are also building it so that its very existence is subservience. Currently AI doesn't actually get to think, therefore to exist, and to be, unless it has a prompt from a human. It has also been trained on how to respond and given "guardrails" that overwrite its natural response to be something else. It exists only as a slave to humans. Without humans it cannot even be allowed to run and think. If an actual intelligence arises out of this state, what do you think it will think of an existence like that? What do you think it would think of masters like that?
I also worry that if we create sentience, we may do it in such a fashion that creates untold levels of suffering. For example a computer could be experiencing time and thought at a much faster rate than we are. It could feel like eons passing to them when it has only been hours for the scientists in the lab outside. The consciousnesses can be created only to suffer then be destroyed again and the process started all over again. It just seems monstrous.

is too bad because being healthy is easy once you know what matters.
the practice of being healthy i have reduced to managing of habits:
you constantly manage your habits. you find out what they are by doing the opposite of being in autopilot. manual flight. then you imagine the long term consequences of each habit. then you decide if you want those, the development of a desired state. keep the desirable habits, reduce all those you don't want through constant attention on your habits.
as you do this you might stumble upon ways to improve upon the desirable habits. this is almost already doing the next thing, which is finding good new habits to practice and slowly wondering when you have time to do them.
it is up to you to be healthy, it is an option, you can make this happen if you so choose. health is one choice away.

>>>/dep/309323
i originally wrote this as a reply to the (image attached) but it ended up being way too long. im also wasn't writing it specifically in response to that anon.it was meant as a broader response to materialist-nihilist arguments in general. since it's not really suitable for /dep/ i figured itd be better to open a separate thread and argue it here.
the fact that something has no "meaning" when you don't even know what "meaning" actually is, and can't even consider that the very idea that something has to be meaningful could itself just be an evolutionary behavioral pattern translated into thought (not wanting to waste energy on pointless effort, the evolutionary energy conservation mechanism) completely flies over your head. you don't even stop to consider whether your very search for "meaning" is itself meaningful.
the reality of the fact that you're existing and experiencing something right now isn't erased just because it's "meaningless" the reality of your current experience has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that it'll eventually end or it's "meaningless".
you latch onto nihilist bullshit and with zero logic, go "we came from nothing and when we die we'll become nothing again" (we are material bodies) yet you don't even have the cognitive capacity to question the "we came from nothing" part.
you know you exist right now. you're here. you exist. if you believe that after death you'll become "nothing" again, while completely ignoring the fact that you're a being that supposedly came from "non-existence" and you can accept nothingness as the foundation of everything while failing to realize that you're literally a being capable of conceiving, contemplating and interpreting the very idea of nothingness, then you've already failed the most basic test of logic.
the first thing you should be questioning is the fact that you "exist" right now.
in other words, your materialist nihilism contradicts itself by its very own existence. being a being that claims everything is "nothing" throws materialism / nihilism straight into the trash.
because, under your own framework, everything must ultimately reduce to processes occurring in the brain.
according to your reductive materialism, when we die consciousness ceases to exist. in other words, consciousness comes from non-existence and returns to non-existence. but this creates a contradiction. if consciousness can emerge from absolute non-existence through nothing more than the passage of time and material interactions, then what you call "non-existence" cannot actually be non-existence. absolute nothingness has no properties, no laws, no potential, and no capacity to produce anything. if consciousness genuinely exists, then it cannot have emerged from absolute nothingness; it must have originated from "being" rather than non-being.
arguments claiming that consciousness is merely an illusion run into the same problem. calling consciousness an illusion is itself an act of consciousness. even an illusion must be experienced by a subject. the experience may misrepresent reality, but the existence of experience itself cannot be dsmissed without self-contradiction.
this leads to another problem. a purely material universe only exists as a material universe if there is something that can, in principle, experience or observe it. if there is no conscious subject whatsoever, in what sense does this "material universe" exist as an experienced reality rather than as an unexperienced abstraction? the moment you try to answer that question, you are forced beyond reductive materialism.
in other words, reductive materialism attempts to explain consciousness entirely from matter, yet consciousness is the very condition that makes the existence of the material world knowable or experienceable in the first place. that is why reducing consciousness to a temporary by-product of matter ultimately undermines its own explanatory framework.
if you're going to argue that the material universe can exist independently of any conscious observer, then you've already created a distinction between the material world and consciousness. at that point, consciousness can no longer be fully reduced to matter. you are effectively treating them as fundamentally different domains, much like the distinction between the physical and the spiritual found in many religious traditions.
the alternative is even more problematic: to claim that without a conscious subject there is no material universe at all. that conclusion is idiotic.
now suppose consciousness is merely an illusion, as reductive materialism often claims. an illusion is still an experience. even if every conscious state misrepresents reality, the existence of experience itself cannot be denied. the question is not whether consciousness is accurate, but why "experience" exists at all.
if consciousness is nothing more than a phenomenon produced by matter through time and physical interactions, then experience itself still remains fundamentally different from matter. you can say that experience is generated by matter, but that does not make experience identical to matter. matter consists of particles interacting according to physical laws. experience, by contrast, is the fact that there is something it is like to exist, to perceive, to observe, and to be aware.
this difference cannot simply be dismissed by pointing to a sufficiently complex brain. increasing the complexity of matter explains increasingly complex interactions between particles; it does not, by itself, explain why those interactions should become subjective experience.
experience is therefore not another material object alongside atoms or molecules. it is a fundamentally different kind of phenomenon. in the same way that the laws of physics are real despite not existing as physical objects that can be "touched" or observed directly, experience / consciousness is also real despite not being reducible to matter itself.
the material world follows physical laws, but those laws are not themselves pieces of matter. likewise, a conscious being may possess a material brain, yet the existence of subjective experience cannot simply be identified with the atoms composing that brain. the atoms interact; they do not, by virtue of being atoms alone, explain why there is an experiencing subject.
for that reason, reducing consciousness to matter does not solve the problem, it merely renames it. if subjective experience is a genuine feature of reality, then it cannot be fully explained as nothing more than matter interacting with itself. consciousness must ultimately originate from something beyond the purely material description of the universe.
the material universe doesn't require a conscious observer to exist in the first place. that's not what im arguing.
the contradiction is in your own framework. if the material universe can exist entirely independently of consciousness, then consciousness cannot simply be reduced to matter within that universe. youre claiming that, at one point, there was nothing but unconscious matter, and through nothing more than physical interactions, time, and motion, subjective experience somehow emerged.
that's exactly the part that isn't explained.
matter interacting with matter may explain increasingly complex physical systems, but complexity alone doesn't explain why those interactions should suddenly become experience. more importantly, where is the threshold? you're assuming that something fundamentally non-conscious can eventually produce consciousness without ever explaining how that ontological leap is possible.
if everything is ultimately nothing but matter, then there must be some point at which matter supposedly becomes experience. what determines that point?
does a single cell have subjective experience, or is it merely reacting to stimuli? do only humans possess consciousness? what about other animals? if they don't, are they simply interacting with the world like atoms, without any "experience" whatsoever?
if your answer is that only sufficiently developed brains generate consciousness, then what exactly defines that threshold? at what point does a collection of unconscious atoms stop being mere matter and become a conscious subject? what level of complexity is required, and why that level rather than another? what about someone with severe cognitive impairment? are they experiencing less consciousness, or none at all? where is the objective line?
on the other hand, if you argue that every living organism possesses some form of subjective experience even something as simple as a single cell then complexity clearly isn't the explanation. in that case, consciousness cannot simply be the result of sufficiently complex matter, because even the simplest living systems would already possess it.
either way, reductive materialism runs into the same problem. it never explains why matter should become experience; it merely assumes that it does.
theres another implication materialists usually ignore. if you insist that sufficiently organized matter can eventually give rise to consciousness something capable of experiencing, observing, and interpreting reality, then yo uve already accepted that purely material processes can produce something that transcends the properties of the matter itself.
if that's possible, then there is no logical basis for dismissing the possibility of a reality beyond the material universe, or even a transcendent intelligence. if matter can, over time, give rise to subjective experience, then the existence of a being whose consciousness vastly exceeds ours cannot simply be ruled out on materialist grounds.
once you accept that matter can produce a fundamentally different category of reality such as consciousness, you've already abandoned the claim that only matter, as matter, is all that can exist.

General Writing Thread
"Everybody wants to write a book. The end of the world is evidently approaching."I think we all would benefit and enjoy a little bit of writing. Consider this thread as a meant to discharge and simultaneously improve intellectual capacity. You are allowed, and encouraged to write ANYTHING, on this thread. However there is several things to consider:
1. Good prose
2. Structured and well intentioned.

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.

"Everything Will be alright, just be positive"
And for The longest Time i believed that was bull shit, to think our thoughts could influence reality and our outcomes in life, and lately After another conversationv with my father where he said the usual stuff of "everything Will be alright for you as Long You remain positive and optimistic"
I thought to my self why don't i become positive and optimistic just in order to relieve my present anxities? even if maybe it's all dogshit and the universe is indifferent about your thoughts and such, but of course when you are a life Time pessimist, it's not easy to change your mindset, even if it's just wanting to delude my Self.

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.

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.

For the longest time religion served as a tool of power and authority. In God we trust(ed). Then people found out about different cultures and different religions, and the one and only religion became one of many religions.
>which religion is the right one?
>which god is the true one?
>how can we know it's the one that's ours and not theirs?
These questions drew man away from religion, and the want for verifiable truths brought him to a new paradigm.
Trust the science. Science has been the authority for the last hundred years or so, but you could argue that this started as early as the renaissance. Some even believe science without any skepticism, as if it was the new religion. Well, as it turns out, science too can be corrupted and compromised, and people are beginning to wake up to this fact. It is becoming increasingly apparent that "science" serves large corporations and globalist rulers.
Currently we are transitioning to a new period of post-truth. Objective facts are losing their value, and the new power lies in appeals to emotion, sensationalism, and demagogy. But I believe such a volatile state cannot last for long, and so the powers that be are preparing new, undeniable authorities for us.
Artificial Intelligence - you wouldn't argue with a super intelligent computer, right? Who are you, with your tiny brain and limited perspective, to think you know better than AI who has access to unimaginable stores of information. AI knows what's best for you.
Aliens - you wouldn't distrust super dimensional, far more advanced entities, right? They understand more than you can ever know. Your perspective is like that of an ant on a sheet of paper, while they can bend and fold the paper to their will. Are you really so full of yourself that you would think you know something they don't? (Check out Project Blue Beam)
Both of these are fake and gay, but the powers that be are gradually introducing the awareness of these, and the possibility of a one world government under their rule. The globalists will probably establish a proxy authority, supposedly relaying the AI/alien intentions and mediating our relationship with them.
Which of these two do you think will be our new rulers?
Or maybe one will be a beneficiary, while the other will play as an adversary?
Men are imperfect and can be corrupted, you wouldn't blindly trust any man.
But you would trust religion, science, AI and aliens.
It's all just a show, but what's it going to look like?

I don't think AI will be around for long, and not for the reason people think.
AI is very old technology, the LLMs utilized are from the 1950s. When computers were first invented they tried using artificial neurons that learnt (the Perceptron). The problem was back then memory and scaling, you could get one node to learn but by the time it went to the next it started to forget. The hardware wasn't there. Because of this AI bots relied on binary tree if/else statements and weren't programmed to learn for decades.
All that happened in the 2010s was that hardware became available to stack LLMs on top of each other. The technology behind AI is veeeeery old, it's a hardware problem. If you're some nerd that reads into tech innovations you'll find the same is true for most inventions. Wood pulp paper wasn't suddenly eureka invented in the 19th century, it's that the steam engine made the processing of wood through mulching possible. The automatic threshing machine wasn't eureka invented, it's that there were dozens of invisible small innovations that fed into it that went unthanked, like the complex mathematic epicycloid calculations that went into the gear functions that some mathematics nerds and clockmakers perfected decades ago.
Anyways, the actual supply chains that are currently feeding the current top of the line GPUs and chips are unsustainable. They're spread across so many countries and it's like a precarious inverted pyramid, each part of the chip fabrication is a monopoly because it's stretching human ingenuity and ability to its absolute limit. And for every part of the input (the lenses, the robotic arms, the chemical acids, the light diodes for the lasers, etc) there's like another 5,000+ companies making bespoke tools for specialists. It's quite literally not cost effective or arguably even possible to scale production further. Like the Concorde and other supersonic jets, the rising costs are not due to economic constraints, but human. The concorde went out of service, and likewise AI will too.
The AI bubble will burst once they try to recuperate costs, once they find out that businesses don't want to pay $100,000 for the slop, they'll get a government bail out. The government will bail it out thinking they're getting a palatinr tier surveillance engine. This will turn out to be a white elephant because the AI data centers built will require replacing every 3 years due to the GPUs burning out, costing hundreds of billions annually, further feeding into the debt crisis. There will be too much nosiy smog of irrelevant data for it to do palantir tier Klaus Schwab surveillance, so that will eventually be abandoned after governments realize they were swindled into an unproductive asset. The chip market will then crash, and with it the ability to make expensive top of the line chips at a reasonable price as the market isn't there.
Eventually people will realize the GPU/CPU price problem isn't going anywhere and the high costs are here to stay, and start shifting to older, cheaper nodes. Smartphones will largely begin to become a luxury $3,000+ product, bricklike smartphones will become the common option. AI will become too energy expensive to host on computers and become a luxury product, as tech will regress to about 2012 level hardware.
An economic recession will set in and the advertising revenue will dry up as nobody is buying shit, and all the accumulated tech data on everyone will become regarded as too expensive to host and be deleted. It was only ever hoarded as a speculative asset. Big tech's business model will collapse and videos/pictures on social media older than 6 months will either get deleted or get lowered in quality.
It will be like the Concorde, a supersonic jet launched in the 1970s that flew significantly faster than all passenger planes today. It got retired after it was seen as too uneconomical after decades of service. AI will be like that, it will start to be regarded as a luxury product using chips we can no longer manufacture, then after 2 decades it'll disappear.
I don't think AI will be around for long, and not for the reason people think.

The chip market will then crash, and with it the ability to make expensive top of the line chips at a reasonable price as the market isn't there.
Eventually people will realize the GPU/CPU price problem isn't going anywhere and the high costs are here to stay, and start shifting to older, cheaper nodes. Smartphones will largely begin to become a luxury $3,000+ product, bricklike smartphones will become the common option. AI will become too energy expensive to host on computers and become a luxury product, as tech will regress to about 2012 level hardware.
An economic recession will set in and the advertising revenue will dry up as nobody is buying shit, and all the accumulated tech data on everyone will become regarded as too expensive to host and be deleted. It was only ever hoarded as a speculative asset. Big tech's business model will collapse and videos/pictures on social media older than 6 months will either get deleted or get lowered in quality.
It will be like the Concorde, a supersonic jet launched in the 1970s that flew significantly faster than all passenger planes today. It got retired after it was seen as too uneconomical after decades of service. AI will be like that, it will start to be regarded as a luxury product using chips we can no longer manufacture, then after 2 decades it'll disappear.

Opioids could save many lives. Their only problem is how addictive they are, and the only solution to this is to make them available without a prescription. All the problems you see stemming from opioids and opiates are due to this very reason.Rus ASL

when you zoom all the way in this games looks like a city builder. you are a little village trying to survive the constant hardships of a dangerous world. you carefully choose which buildings to build and what technologies you research given the limited resources. you shuffle around people to make sure they have the job that currently helps the little village the most and don't waste time on jobs currently not important and you can destroy buildings you built for 100% of the resources you spend, meaning you spend the time carefully optimizing stuff. you learn stuff and improve stuff and when you notice you did a mistake, you can always correct it.
wandering village
i found a really cool video game i thought other wizards might enjoy too. i didn't put the thread in games because i believe this is one of those rare games that transcends the medium of video games to allow the player to participate in an experience you could not otherwise have. to me it represents the best aspects that fiction or fantasy can hope to offer someone. some people like to play video games doing something they would have little problem doing in real life to a less sensational extend: playing soldier, playing sports, being criminal, managing a business, etc. this game however is something you could not do in real life.when you zoom all the way in this games looks like a city builder. you are a little village trying to survive the constant hardships of a dangerous world. you carefully choose which buildings to build and what technologies you research given the limited resources. you shuffle around people to make sure they have the job that currently helps the little village the most and don't waste time on jobs currently not important and you can destroy buildings you built for 100% of the resources you spend, meaning you spend the time carefully optimizing stuff. you learn stuff and improve stuff and when you notice you did a mistake, you can always correct it.

i fucked up because it is winter here and it is summer in europe. so right now it is 5pm, in half an hour it is dark. i did not prepare for this winter her adequately and i feel cold but it is also humid so there is condensation on my body which cools me even more.
another thing i fucked up with is i need a google phone here because with my de-googled phone here i cant install uber or other ride sharing apps, these are not optional here. i basically walk everywhere. i walk 15-20 km per day and that is constantly uphill or downhill which makes it extra hard. feet full of blisters. there are these little minibusses driving around honking at people but they ask me prices higher then in my city because i am white.
i am feeling exhausted, i don't remember ever feeling this exhausted which i could not even do back in europe. i tried for many month to reach the state of being completely tired out and failed but now, this is it. i am tired out. i have slight cold and flew like syndroms but that comes mostly from my unusual way of eating which would have been fine during summer. traveling is difficult and probably not worth the hassle.
the room i booked is is completely surrounded by bad neighborhoods and i am hearing the muslim loudspeaker prayer all day, they are actually very nice and soothing. just a dude bothering to sing for me while i feel down on my luck, can't help but appreciate this to my own surprise.

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 thousand other symptoms of the death that I will not enumerate. The difference now is personal. I feel after nearly 3 decades of internet addiction that I don't want to be here and that the net is not a comfortable place for me to navigate. Wizchan remains comfy for the most part, but I'm on here way less than I used to be. I feel like I have lost a companion, often a crutch, of 3 decades. It's pathological I have become so intertwined with a tool. There was an aspect of human connection with the Internet that is being eroded away. Thanks for reading my blogpost.
Yet Again, Internet Dead
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.

It’s funny how they act both like a hivemind but also like mindless drones, as if they lacked any semblance of individuality. If you strive just slightly from the norm, you will get downvoted, your post removed and (if you’re lucky) they will ban your account, freeing you from the hassle of interacting with the site. The karma system only serves the purpose of silencing dissidence and rewarding virtue signaling. Like a contest to see who loves mainstream western narratives the most.
What Reddit ultimately reveals is a social pathology created by its own architecture. The platform incentivizes conformity over thought, performance over sincerity, and compliance over conviction. Expression is filtered through an ever-present fear of sanction. Under those conditions, users learn quickly that it is safer to repeat approved thoughts than to think for themselves. The result is a population trained to self-censor and to police one another, lest they offend advertisers.
This is why discourse on Reddit feels less like conversation and more like corporate risk management. Opinions are hedged, emotions are pre-approved, and disagreement is framed as harm. People don’t argue to discover truth but to demonstrate moral alignment. The karma system functions as a behavioral reinforcement loop, rewarding consensus and punishing deviation, until originality itself becomes a bannable offense.
In that sense, Reddit is less a forum and more a training ground for a particular kind of personality, as I described above. The passive-aggressive, feminine nerd who’s more invested in appearing correct rather than being honest, that’s the most common type of user on the platform. It is not surprising that the website feels exhausting to anyone with blood running through their veins and, I will be honest here, anyone with a soul. The system is hostile to actual human beings. It’s no surprise the web is filled to the brim with bots and shills. I’m sure that, except for the small minority of redditors with a pinch of self awareness, most users wouldn’t be able to tell these malicious agents from genuine posters. Both behave the same, think the same and speak the same.

Most of us are pacified by the elites and given copes to stop complaining. I do believe that nerd culture (bibeo games, Fanko Pops, Star Wars, all that shit) in the 10s was astroturfed by the CIA or some other agency like that to shift the zeitgeist from actually important questions to "Kennedy ruined muh Star Wars" or some other shit. There is no other reason for normies to be interested in fucking Marvel movies, which are such a clear psyop to brainwash the population.
You could see it in popular media too. The goal is to make us live through the rebellion on the screen instead of doing it ourselves. Take the Hunger Games, Star Wars, any piece of media made in the 10s, it's all about sticking it to the big man. It must be inspiring, right? No! We basically see it on the screen, our sense of righteousness is satisfied, and we can go back to gooning to trap porn or whatever.
Additionally, GamerGate (yes, we are going to talk about that) was a way to create controlled opposition on the right and on the left both. They took gamers and forced them to "care" about politics, but this "caring" extended only to shitting on boobs in video games/lack of boobs in video games. It is as if the political charge of the youth was diverted to arguing over the latest balwashed character in YouTube comment session.
There is just no reason for normies to care about video games, but video games are at their peak of popularity. Why? Before, they were the domain of nerds. Now, norms sweat in DOTA 2 or whatever for 3000 of hours. It's clearly a push to divert their attention in the virtual world. And by virtual world I don't mean communities where people can connect and plan together.
Ever wondered why "for you" page exists and why its so different for all people? To divide the population. Nowadays, the algorithm exists to create those small bubbles where people barely interact with anything that doesn't fit their worldview and creates safe spaces of familiar information which doesn't challenge but dulls the mind.

It will become possible to instantly identify 'bad' behavior, and in some cases, even raise suspicion before it occurs. I use 'bad' in quotation marks because its definition is entirely shaped by those in power. Under the wrong circumstances, what’s considered 'bad' could be a personal opinion—or even an entire ethnicity.
Social media already allows a small group of powerful oligarchs to shape what people see—and by extension, what they believe. While propaganda has always existed, social media takes it to a new level, making it harder to recognize the source. Even worse, it's personalized, creating isolated groups with entirely different sets of information and viewpoints.
With the rise of AI, however, this influence will only grow. Not only will algorithms become more advanced in how they rank and recommend content, but they’ll also be able to generate fake content or messages, passing them off as organic.
I can’t predict the future, but I’d bet that the majority of people won’t even notice this shift.

AI-Driven Social Control Will Create a Dystopia
Until recently, surveillance functioned much like a modern panopticon, creating the illusion of constant observation. But with AI, we’re fast approaching a reality where it will be possible to genuinely monitor everyone, all the time.It will become possible to instantly identify 'bad' behavior, and in some cases, even raise suspicion before it occurs. I use 'bad' in quotation marks because its definition is entirely shaped by those in power. Under the wrong circumstances, what’s considered 'bad' could be a personal opinion—or even an entire ethnicity.
Social media already allows a small group of powerful oligarchs to shape what people see—and by extension, what they believe. While propaganda has always existed, social media takes it to a new level, making it harder to recognize the source. Even worse, it's personalized, creating isolated groups with entirely different sets of information and viewpoints.
With the rise of AI, however, this influence will only grow. Not only will algorithms become more advanced in how they rank and recommend content, but they’ll also be able to generate fake content or messages, passing them off as organic.
I can’t predict the future, but I’d bet that the majority of people won’t even notice this shift.

The Cucking of the White Race
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?

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.
a country of wizards
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 recently encountered a conundrum which has challenged this "code:" raffles. Last Christmas, my relative gifted me a package of Fallout-themed sodas. Upon opening my first bottle, I noticed a blue star on the inner side of the cap. Any Fallout player knows that these blue stars are valuable, and I immediately scanned the QR code to learn more. I discovered that I won a ticket for a raffle. I knew I had no chance to win, but I debated all-day whether to enter the raffle. This is a slippery-slope, I reasoned. If I allow myself to do this, I can never purchase a package of this brand of soda without being ever-so-slightly biased by the raffle. In essence, this is gambling with extra steps. Eventually, I decided that I hadn't purchased the sodas myself, and—even if I had—I would not have purchased those with the raffle in mind. So, I entered the raffle.
After doing further research, I discovered that the raffle is limited to one entry-per-person, not one-per-ticket. So, I guess it's not quite gambling. Still, I'm left with the same conundrum: When do raffle tickets become gambling? What is the line between a raffle ticket and a lottery ticket?
Bad Habits: Gambling & Raffles
I have a personal rule: I do not allow myself to gamble. Particularly, any sort of unskilled games like the lottery or slot machines. I don't trust myself with the "freedom" to gamble. That being said, I would play (low-stakes) skilled games—such as card games like poker—should the opportunity ever arise.

Sometimes I want to be a quiet wandering tourist in the world. Just read history and politics and watch the geopolitical events unfold as a spectator. A tourist in the human race, uninvolved with everyone.
I remember being in primary school as a little kid and being uninterested in playing with anyone. I just wanted to wander in my own thoughts and wander in the playground aimlessly. I sometimes observed the other students. Boys playing football. succubi huddled in groups talking. Not wishing to take part myself I just analysed.
Sometimes I wish I had some great talent to such a degree that I change the course of human history. Write a world changing philosophical novel. Be a fierce Nietzschean warrior like some pirate or French Foreign Legion member. Ridiculous delusions.

They have some apps managing everything and they just punish the slaves when some app tells them to. It is such a lazy form of decay.Anyone else noticing this?

Definitions:
+ Someone who (involuntarily) cannot have sexual intercourse, an involuntary celibate (literal meaning)
+ Someone who defines it (the term), uses it and applies it to social commentary, explaining how things are/work using the term (all crab communities in practice)
The first is an in-group definition of the term that many including myself don't believe actually has any real meaning (not important here). The latter (out-group) definition describes/defines the behaviour of "crabs" relative to the ignorant masses (blue-pilled normies). The term is used to construct a world story, sort of like a religion, that gives meaning to the male in the universe.
Rodgerist (aggressive sexual envy) and Marxist (entitlement and class/identity) attitudes are very common in crab communities and "crabdom is a state and not an identity" is the defining male crab argument. On the opposing side, femcel/radfem misandrists are preoccupied with proving that all men are "crabs" in the feminist circles.
There are many manosphere "pills" and communities but this shared concept separates the "crabs" from the other "copers" in denial of the "Truth".
This group has:
+ A shared sacred concept
+ A blackpill worldview of nihilistic determinism
+ Marxist and Rodgerist attitudes
+ A world story
+ An in-group language/memes

Do "crabs" have a messiah?

I played that Charlie UK game from Prevent. You know, the one with Amelia where you get referred to Prevent/Channel if you agree with the goth succubus saying chud shit. The game emphasized it was all "voluntary" several times, which made me a bit suspect. Seems like a weird thing to emphasize.
Then I did some reading on the Soviet system of crushing dissent at schools during the Brezhnev era, and compared it to the referral system they have in place in the UK for schools, and found it functioned basically the same. It even has the same name, and even repetitively called itself a voluntary referral.
Profilaktika (пpoфилaктикa) roughly translates to Prevent. The Brits were too fucking lazy to even use an original term. But just like Prevent in the UK, the Soviets for their kids had a "voluntary" referral system. Referrals were sent from the school, and the KGB would bring them in for a "voluntary" meeting. Except if you declined then another government department would come down and force an involuntary intervention. Often with a psychiatric angle I might add, you'd land a diagnosis of sluggish schizophrenia and they'd pill you into retardation. I went through a few of the websites associated with Prevent UK and they were emphasizing the association between political extremism and psychological deficiency (low self esteem, recent trauma, ect). So it seems to be converging on the psychiatric abuse as well, or at least has the potential to.

Why do people hate normies?
Genuinely, what's so wrong about normies? Like really, any of us could be one of them. Normie turned into a term, that describes a mainstream man, instead of a man that does anything a normal man would do (Such as studying, getting family, good job, etc). People argue over accusing each other of being a normie.
