I tried chess, and it's less a game for smart people, and more of a meta game. Like the dota of board games, idk. You just need to learn all the meta and then learn to apply it in your games, at least in amateur competitive games. I tried playing chess and noticed that most people rely on basic meta moves. Idk how it is on a professional level, but nobody on wiz plays professional chess anyway.
So, yeah, you don't need to be particularly smart, just really anal about grinding all the rules and have hours upon hours of free time to do it.

How do you explain a 13 year old who prepares for a professional match against the guy who created most modern chess openings and theories (Garry Kasparov, a highly educated doctor) by reading comic books, actually coming on top?

Do you realize the colossal difficulty of pulling that off, let alone even surviving against such a Grand Master for more than 7-8 moves as a 40 year old adult who has played all his life since childhood?

>>226581
>>226581
Simple.


Using emotional intelligence, not real intelligence, can go places even in chess. That's how Kasparov got OWNED by various computers. Seriously, in 1997, IBM's computer resolved its own bug by doing a *random* move. Boom. Kasparov was owned so hard he cried stuff about "cheating" - all while Karpov would pull that out

>My mom was an airhead who barely learned to read and write. She grew in poverty and she's obsessed with being poor and loves watching videos of people in extreme poverty. Despite all that she is a narcissistic cunt who thinks she's superior to everyone and loves to humilliate people every chance she gets.


She's smug over the fact she's tough enough to have the power to survive da xtreme poverty (pun intended)

makes sense: she watches focumentaries to think "oh, i remember my good ol' days… a wussy from Wizardchat would be mad at his own mother ower wrong vegetables, yet here I am, a person who pulled herself by da bootstraps"

My mom is ableist and dosent support my autism. Also owes me lots of $ and ruined me with abuse and financially abusing me other ways. Luckily i got on bux and will leave her soon

Very neglectful and also most of the time abusive. Mother says she never drunk during the pregnancy while i have these deformed bones and fucked head from the get go. Didn't care about their children's healthcare despite it being free in this country. Held (and still are) insanely different standards between their children so while one could completely fuck up school the other one got beaten for not having exceptional grades, partially because one of the few doctors we visited told them i am le gifted. Did not care about getting me help for my 'tisim and adhd (went to a christian witch instead wtf. Had to get diagnosed on my own as an adult) and any symptom was made fun of and/or reason for punishment. Constantly hated each other but were too inept to divorce despite there being 0 cost or risk as they were both on bux and during one of their fights while my father was brandishing a knife i had to call the cops and this start the divorce. Again, there was never a reason for them to stay together and they could have done one without asking their fucking kids to call the cops. Father was such a abusive and lazy bastard that i regularly fantasized about unimaginable things even at that age. Used his children as a way to smuggle stuff also.

Im now a adult living with my mom and brother. Almost every day here is still so fucking shit and since my parents never taught me anything and diverted all their energy towards my brother i am having trouble finding a place in this world and moving out.

The only good thing is that since I'm (totally surprisingly btw) in bad health now i have this cloud of dementia making me forget almost everything. Don't know if its some mental defense mechanism or just health but at this rate i will have my memories only go back 5 years if i hit 30 so i wont care much longer.

>>226217
>Luckily i got on bux and will leave her soon
How did you manage that? Its one of the few options i have i think.

They both love me I think.
But every time I speak to them it's obvious they're so dissapointed. I see it in their eyes.
They weren't ever abusive and I don't think they ever asked anything unreasonable, all they wanted was a normal kid. They'd try and make me hang out with classmates but I never enjoyed going to parties or any such gathering.

We weren't living in poverty. I wasn't physically deformed. I wasn't bullied. Both my parents were mentally well. I was given so many opportunities and I never even tried.
Sometimes I wonder if it would feel better to have had bad parents that I could hate and blame. It might be a "grass is greener…" type of situation. There is no one to blame but myself.

It wasn’t necessarily about the physical pleasure of sex and sexual attraction (because it can have the exact opposite consequences) that I had in mind with that sentence, but the latent vs manifest functions of the sex drive.
For example, the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet’s love story (and the way both characters subjectively experience it) has nothing to do with reproduction and having kids, and them having sex has a completely different subjective meaning to them (manifest functions).
But then, why are a young man and a teenage virgin succubus so attracted to each other to begin with? And why does sex have so much significance in that? It’s for underlying biological causes going back billions of years directed at evolution through natural selection (latent functions) that are not immediately transparent to individual human consciousness and that humanity has only started to discover very late into its existence.
So yes, I’m still going on about this perspective, but I would say “it feels good” is kinda unfair as an interpretation since it also causes one to find love music, stories, art, etc., beautiful and noble and sublime. But that’s also part of evolution’s trick to get you to reproduce. (Obivously there are loopholes.)
What do you have in mind with partial? What do you think my perspective is missing?

>>225363
From a biological perspective it's obvious that everything we think, feel and do is related to survival and reproduction. The whole pessimistic tradition is based on the perspective that nature and society are organized in such a way that we are doomed to cause drama and suffering for ourselves and others. Alan Watts has addressed this perspective and put forward an alternative perspective with many of his books and lectures.

The very material mechanics of the universe exist in such a way to seemingly necessitate struggle and death for any living organism. As such, it would seems that the aliens would need to exist outside of our material world, in which case I would question why they need to create us in the first place to suffer? They are seemingly immensely powerful already as is. It seems these redditors are just placing a sci-fi spin on Gnosticism.

>>226371
Even powerful as they are, they need energy to survive, and this energy/loosh they need is generated by people's suffering.

I still remember the day my dick randomly stopped working properly. It was a Saturday summer morning when I was 31. I was sure it only happens to people who are like age 60 but nope.

I wasn't even a coomer and the only thing that makes it properly work now is viagra.

>>225736

I am one of those coomer types and I have to say that while my dick did get much harder when I was younger, it was mainly because all of these feelings were new and exciting.

I did have a bit of a crisis at 36 when I wasnt getting that hard anymore. The more I worried about it the worst it got. I even went to the doctor and threw the idea out there of it maybe being my age and he looked at me like I was crazy. He then said no I am nowhere near the age where that is a concern. He said I probably just didnt have the right stimulus anymore. He checked my testosterone just in case and it was fine.

I eventually managed to figure out how to calm my brain down and get my dick working again, but if I chose to believe that there was something wrong with me then I probably never would've recovered.

The dick will retain its ability to get hard as long as your heart remains healthy. It literally is just a valve that sends blood to your dick. If you are healthy then the problem is in the signaling between the brain and that valve. If you get stuck in your head and start to truly believe that you aren't going to get hard then you aren't gonna get hard. Cruel irony.

yeah it's crazy that humans do shit that make them feel good…

you're lifting quotes from the transcendental aesthetic without attribution and modifying the wording slightly to adapt it to my post and in so doing making it seem like it's contradicting it when the original (and sometimes also your modifications of it) are in perfect agreement with it.

>Time is not an empirical concept that is drawn from the experience of change.
the "change" i'm talking about in that post is not something one can have an experience of, but is a "feature" (or "form" in kantian) of experience itself. change is not something you can touch, see, hear, etc., but is a feature that is always present in experience, the the changing itself of sensations (tactile, visual, auditory, etc). therefore, it's not an empirical concept, since there are no empirical objects from which to abstract it from. the way i "derived" it in the post when i said, "look for time in our perception", wasn't by "drawing it from an experience" - because all experience necessarily has it - but by what kant called "the faculty for intuiting a priori".
the original sentence by kant (A30/B46) in guyer-wood's translation is, "Time is not an empirical concept that is drawn from an experience", which is fully in line with how i treated it.

>Simultaneity or succession, that are the basis for change, would not come into perception if the representation of time did not ground them a priori.
this is the next sentence in the transcendental aesthetic. the only modification you did is adding ", that are the basis for change," to adapt it to my post, which ironically makes it literally equivalent to what i said in it, yet you somehow say it as if it were asserting something new that contradicted what i said. simultaneity is what i enumerated as (1) and succession is what i enumerated as (2), and i said that these two are what time in essence is, and furthermore that they "are fundamental and necessary facts of experience".

>From that a priori intuition we can ground further apodictic principles about the relation of time
but i also said the same thing informally in a passing comment and you're just repeating it to me in kantonese
>and that is in essence what time is (then we can derive further facts about it from those two ifPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Not that wizard but I think it's really unfortunate how it's become such a hot-button topic. I think it's unfortunate how both sides always make this worse. I find it an extremely interesting topic, probably the most interesting and important topic this is. It's the same with religion as a whole. I've thought about these things a lot and watched a lot of videos (and read a book or two I got recommended to me) but there has just never been something that convinced me that there is "something more". Anything to show we aren't just atoms and a conciousness destined to one day stop existing forever. This isn't because I'm "too smart for religion", "too rational" or anything stupid like that. There are plenty of smarter and more rational (if there even is such a thing) people than me who disagree completely. I am totally open to other perspectives but have never genuinely believed in one other than my own. I could live my life as a monk or priest but I'd never truly believe it to my core.
But it's something that should be discussed more.
Recently been toying around with the idea of uploading conciousness into a computer (obviously just from a philosophical standpoint). If you just clone your brain 1:1 into the computer there will simply be you and someone with your brain from your perspective. Meanwhile if you did the same and wiped you out at the same time it'd just be you dying from your perspective.
But what if you first replaced half your brain with the computer while you remained fully concious, then from your perspective you'd just be yourself but with half-computer brain. So that's still you, right?
But what if they did that simultaneously for both sides of the brain? Which one would your conciousness go into? None? What if you kept the two brain-halves alive but in a sleep-state then put them together and re-activated them, then from your own brain's initial perspective it just went to sleep and woke up like you do every day.
So conciousness and death don't exist but we simultaneously know they do because we're concious and alive in this moment. Are we already dead? Always dying? What is a stream of conciousness if it can be split and what happens if it is?
Who are you?
