/wiz/ - Wizardry

When you watch, read or listen to something, do you prefer to avoid that something's subject matter being humans? I assume most if not all here share a dislike for NORPs/normalscum/NPCs, yet it was occurring to me that it is odd that I should make an exception for my dislike of them when it comes to fiction. Obviously I think our dislike of normal people comes from who they are rather than what they are, so I think sufficiently weird humans like ourselves, or aliens with human appearance, aren't necessarily excluded. It doesn't necessarily need to be restricted to fiction either, people who mainly engage with the animal world, or impersonal sciences, strike me as commendably unengaged with the broader mass of humankind. But I'm most interested, I would say, in those here who do engage with things involving normal people and how they reconcile that with who they are and their beliefs.

This is a thread to discuss God and religion. One I didn't see created.

What are your thoughts and views on God, if any?

My relationship with Him is complicated, as I used to be Christian but have far strayed and no longer worship Him to a certain extent.

got nothing to do besides watching cas0h and a couple of second life troll videos. how's it hanging for you fellow wizneets

If due to finances and life circumstances you are 100% forced to cohabitate with normies, how do you deal with them? They constantly pick on you, belittle you and attempt to crush you.

succubi should be treated like children until they can prove they deserve adult rights. There I said it. Most succubi have the inner life and personal integrity of a child and should be treated as such. Possible avenues that they could attain rights.

>Write an essay demonstrating an actual awareness of the deficiencies of the female mind and how you will not persist in these
>Create a substantive work of art literature or music (pic related, Lili Boulanger) demonstrating that you are an actual person with a modicum of something going on in the noggin'

In order to have the power of an adult you need the responsibility and personal and social awareness of an adult. Simple as

Now I'm not saying male NPC's are much better but men generally don't have the social currency to negatively affect society. In fact they'll just be told to keep mining that coal and shut up. Its toxic femininity and princess culture that has formed the cultural landscape we have right now with its attendant ills and it should be stopped (of course it won't but this is just a nice thought).

I've frequented this place before but not as much, and I would go on Kohl instead. You've probably heard of it as the "pedo" chan but it's actually a bastion of free speech and the pedos are relegated to their own generals usually. Anyway I'm here to tell you that I'll be getting a helium tank delivered because I think I've reached an impasse in my life. I don't want to get into it since it kind of embarrassing but I made one very very bad decision and I'm afraid my whole livelihood is at stake. It was indirectly created by my father. But it doesn't matter, nevermind it. There are other things that I'm worried about concerning this life like the rise of AI, UFOs (I personally was contacted by one), life being a simulation, etc. Basically everything. It's just alot of things on my mind and also I'm quite a dysgenic human being having autism and irritable bowel syndrome, I don't think I'll be able to sustain myself for long. I also might've had some trauma early in life since I can't remember much of my life either. I know it was inconvenient for most of it, which is probably why I can't remember it. Or maybe, I'm drinking too much and I've lost too many bracrabls as of late. I've been drinking for 9 years straight. I'm currently 30. Don't have any friends or a gf (in fact never had one), I don't chat with my mother or my siblings either. My family divorced early in my life btw.

In truth, wizards, I do want to die. But what prevents me is not knowing what comes after and I have often told this to those on other forums, especially Kohl, but they were not able to alleviate my worries about it very much. Since I feel like I have no choice now I will be trying to go through it when the time comes but I still need to know what comes after. If any of you have any idea please let me know.

What do you anons think of this image/chart? I took it seriously for like a year because I'm insane

Thesis:

Engagement with structurally advanced texts and excellent rhetoric trains and temporarily optimises the mind into recurring modes of organization, attention, abstraction, and inference; repeated exposure can temporarily or semi-durably bias cognition toward those modes independently of propositional content.

Or in simpler terms, in the same way that algebra & calculus trains the mind towards logical and methodical thought in the long term, I believe it's possible for works of illustration, music and literature to do so in the short term. If this is true, then it's advantageous to catalogue such art-efacts and optimise exposure to them.

I'm not talking about the first order; "no duh, I read something that told/reminded me of facts and now they're at the front of my attention" or involuntary emotional responses, I'm talking about the temporary mental structure. Meditation or such like, if it works, seems to work by selecting for facts and details, voluntarily emphasising inputs to get desired outputs. It should notionally be possible then, to exercise the mind in such a way that one or more patterns of thought and emphasis can be either cold stored, or reliably reconstructed with inputs on demand. I think genius lies in being able to do this at will and not rely on outside props, but i'm not a genius.

The inspiration for this idea came from reading Robert Carlyle in the morning and consequently having a very organised and effective day at work, but I've noticed it much earlier in the second and third novel of Kai Lung. In the later case, the pleasant but none-the-less non-trivial effort of very complex English usually leaves me in a "well spoken" state for quite some time. I originally put this down to simple mimicry but perhaps there's more to it.

Thoughts? Examples of useful material?

If this is true, consider the darker side - that it's possible to artificially construct and reinforce dysfunctional frames of mind, not just overloading the memory and attention with noise and conflict, but actually implant a structure of thought - at scale. If this was so, how well does it explain modernity.

Have you been neglected in you yearly childhood too? I've come across pic rel some time ago by accident and scrolling to this pic made me think I was actually fundamentally broken not by aspergers which wasn't actually that bad but rather by being neglected by mom which didn't even want to hold me when I was crying or talk on difficult subjects. Every stage presented does so perfectly wrap up all my developmental disorders it makes me feel like this framework was made just for people like me (except last 2 cause I'm too young to experience maturity and middle adulthood). Maybe some anon would consider it interesting. I've been to therapy actually and it helped me a lot but I lost my job and I don't have any money left, I'm just neeting at parents place

Consider for a moment this thread. OP's argument is completely logical. For him working has no upside. His parents are wealthy enough that there is also no downside for them to supporting him. Logically then it makes much more sense for them to continue to support him, but if you look at the responses, people literally treat him as if he is some sort of criminal for simply wanting to maximize his own happiness.


This all boils down to the fact that people in this instance arrive at their conclusion not through logic, but rather through instincts that have evolved and been broadly passed down through the group. In this case there is a mismatch between the current societal conditions and the conditions that lead to the instinct evolving.

For most of human history human society could simply not afford to support dead weight. It's obvious how a group could be dragged down by the attempt to do so. People who had the instinct to not try and support these leeches therefore ended up doing better and over time this instinct became wildely exhibited. It doesn't matter that things have changed since the industrial revolution. Because these things are decided by instinct not logic, pointing those things out will not change people's minds.

You can remind them that actually there aren't even enough jobs to go around, not that everyone is constantly working and we can't get enough stuff done to meet people's needs. It's literally the opposite now, but people still react as if it is a personal moral failing to not have a job.

This same dynamic can be observed in many different examples. Most of the problems of modern day society stem from normalfag's inability to realize when their thoughts are being driven by irrational instincts. I'm tired of living in a world run by such cattle. Reading threads like this just make me want to neck myself.
