/wiz/ - Wizardry

I used to be a skeptical scientific liberal atheist materialist determinist utilitarian but over time I've started to develop doubts.

For a start, there is no intelligible reason to pursue happiness.
Hedonism and preference satisfaction are baseless life goals.
There is simply no reason not to say pluck out your eye right now.
And no, theism if anything aggravates the problem, as all things are made from the all-good creator evil is logically impossible.

I also think materialist determinism is a self defeating belief because if your belief in determinism rests on biological predispositions you haven't really reasoned your way to determinism but simply adopted it because determinism is the sort of belief you were programmed to have.

I can't really be an atheist either as I find how things empirically work in the real world far more persuasive than abstract waffling. And the truth is that if over time conservative religious societies have historically flourished then there is probably good reason for them to. No matter how much you say that Islam is wrong in abstract I find very persuasive the fact that so much of the world is Muslim. It may be that arbitrarily picking minorities to persecute is the just and proper thing to do, just based on how societies work in the real world.

And I can't believe in scientism because I am aware of all the fraud in science and the field of parapsychology shows that you can use all the methods of science and still produce bullshit.

But this sort of analysis paralysis makes me feel incredibly anxious and does not help me at all.

How do you make time move more slowly?

Between work days I only have a small amount of free time and I want to make it last as long as I can.

But instead of I waste it all in a blink of comfortable procrastination and it's time to go to sleep already.

Hi Wizards,

Has anyone here ever travelled or gone on some kind of unplanned, long-term journey without a destination? I remember reading the threads of the Wiz who travelled to Japan and slept rough for several months. I'm just looking for any advice, experience, tips etc about how to camp safely, how much a person would need to pay for gear etc.

Before I begin, I want to mention that I’m using the word celibacy to mean NO SEX, NO PORN, and NO MASTURBATION.

Currently I’m on psychiatric medications that kill my sex drive. I haven’t masturbated or looked at porn, 2D or 3D, in months. However, I may have to get off these medications at some point for other reasons. Truly celibate wizards, how do you manage it? How do you avoid the desire to fap?

What are some of your favorite philosophical, deep, spiritual, and metaphysical views? regardless of whether you believe in them or not.

I consider myself a kind of dualistic variant of Schopenhauer. I agree with most of Schopenhauer ethical views regarding animal welfare, antinatalism, anti-progressivism, ascetism, compassion, and much more, but I disagree with his monistic metaphysics though I sympathize with his later use of Platonic Forms. I think the dualism of Mani and Empedocles were closer to the Truth. There are fundamentally two mutually antagonistic Wills of Love/order/good and Strife/chaos/evil.
Schopenhauer respected the cosmological dualist viewpoint of Zoroastrianism moreso than Abrahamic monotheism as expressed in the "On the Suffering of this World". Granted, I think if Cologne Mani Codex were uncovered and translated during Schopenhauer's time, he would have also found a kindred spirit in Mani, though he may have still claimed the Upanishads spoke more to himself.
Also, visual representation is a better way to understand the fundamental dual nature of Will, not music. This is because it is easier to see the fundamental distinctiveness of the separate yet conflicting Wills through vision.

What is The Musclewiz Life?
It’s a life that celibate virgins can follow and that focuses on spending your time training, be it, in the gym, or at home doing bodyweight exercises.

Why?
To me life is about fighting the bad with the good, and the musclewiz life does that, it fights the bad because it is composed by good moments, feelings, and states that deflect or decrease the bad feelings from getting to you.

How?
I found that exercise combined with other activities like eating, sleeping and lucid dreaming will result in a better and more enjoyable life because doing these things alone already feel good. This can come off as common sense to many, but the good musclewiz life that you can get as a result from doing them, is contingent upon the focus and importance that you give these activities in your daily life. In other words, you have to be serious about them for them to really work together and improve your life.

Explanation of the activities:

We all know sleep feels good for the most part and sleeping is necessary for recovering from training so you will be motivated to sleep more and feel like sleeping if you train.

We also know food is one of the biggest pleasures in life and eating food is necessary when you are training, and exercise will increase your appetite, so basically you will want to eat and feel good eating because of hunger (hunger makes food tastier). Depending on how much you train you won’t have to follow a strict or extremely healthy diet. As long as you don’t have bad eating habits and restrain from overeating certain foods, then you will probably be able to enjoy most foods for the majority of time without a worry. And if you want, you can set a day of the week to eat junk food. That day can be the same as your rest day where you will do no training.

Lucid dreaming is something you can practice while you are recovering, and after you get good at it you will be able to control your dreams and have an even better time when you’re asleep than you would normally do, in any way that you please.
It’s up to you what you do in your dreams. You could create a 2d loli and use her as weight to work out and improve your muscle memory or you could fly through your city and shit and pee in every building you come across.

Let’s also not forget that training in itself feels good and there’s many health benefits associated with it. So you will feel motivated to train bPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

How far into the future would i need to travel to maybe see a good change in this shithole of a world?

In 1 million years would these savages evolve enough to welcome me with an utopia?
Stuff like easy peaceful life for everyone and even immortality.
What do you think?
Got any blueprints for time travel magic?

Post your favourite quotes, ideas, advice etc. from wizchan or wizardly authors you have collected over the years. No specific topic required, text can be of philophical, aesthetically or practical nature. Discussion is welcome, but mainly let's make this a wizdom collecting thread where everyone can post what has meaning to them.

Pic is where we store and study our wizdom.

I'll start:

"Life is the process of enjoying less and less and learning how to deal with pain more and more."

"Hey OP. Rationality is bullshit. There's no reason for anything. The trap is in trying to justify your existence, your actions. The key is to act without reason. There you will find liberation. Nobody knows what they are doing and why, they got a vague idea why, but they are moved by the universal mind which lashes out at and fills the void. The void births us all, out of chaos we arise! Remember that justice and reason are jokes and you are ready. Don't fall into the delusion of a purpose or its search. Be, exist, abide. Awareness. Will. You are not accountable to this reality and this reality is not accountable to you. Nothing is accounted for. It just is, incomprehensibly manifest, nonsensical madness. The desire for escape imprisons you, the wanting holds you back, for you manifest wanting… like begets like. It is done, your work is done, there is no more to do, stop grasping, the universe is more wise than you. Do not hesitate to flow with it, to rise with it, to die with it. You have but one purpose; to be. You will always be. Beyond that in the noise of existence, the cascade of impressions, is just a shadow of your true self which is always unseen. Do not be mistaken in thinking this is it. You are experiencing but are you the experienced as well? Why are you so agitated? Delusion. What is there to be understood? Is not your understanding perfect when you have not spoken a word, when you have not tried to grasp? Concentrate, focus, imagine; you've been doing it all along, it's time to entrain your mind to a new experience, maybe your restlessness will go away. Doesn't this life feel like such a distraction? Your body, always there, always occupying your mind, interrupting you, forcing itself on you. Don't let it win. Withdraw from it, take your mind away from your body, put it elsewhere. Not enough? Take yourself out of your mind then too. It has run its course hasn't it? So tiring yes? There's a lot of thoughts you can borrow. YouPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Do you think being a wizard is a good thing or a bad thing? Ignore your own tendencies. Let's say a child was about to be born. You could choose for it to be a NEET or hikki and volcel. Basically archetypal wiz. Or you could choose for it to be a mildly successful average normie who eventually settles with a succubus and wagecucks and has kids.

Are normies better off? Regardless of whether you desire to be one. I don't desire to be certain things but I admit those people are probably happier and have better lives.

So there's a drug called "L-368,899." It erases your desire to have sex or love. The feeling of loneliness? Gone. It's different from drugs with similar effects:

>Doesn't affect T levels or muscle mass
>Doesn't hurt bone density
>Non-toxic
>Not an SSRI, so it won't cause those side effects

It works differently than other drugs like anaphrodesiacs, and seems to effect more than just feelings of romantic companionship. For example, there was a study with rats that showed it might treat social anxiety.

I'm thinking about ordering some. A lot of labs apparently sell it for research purposes, and it doesn't look like it's regulated or anything. Wanted to hear what you guys thought of it first though.

Also, I tried making this thread on 4chan and got instantly deleted like three times. Don't know what's up with that.
