>Low expectations.

>Decent pay would be nice too.
Doesn't truck driving fit a lot of the bill here? You're alone on the road for the vast majority of the time. At least where I live I've always been able to find tons of ads for truck drivers. Also, from those same ads, it seems that most truck drivers make pretty decent coin? Any truckers have anything to add?
Is truck driving the most wizardly job that's within reach for most?

Cabin in the Forest
Many of us here inspire to live the hermit life in nature. I thought I would make a thread to discuss this worthy cause. This is a thread not to discuss the mere desire to live alone in a cabin in the woods, but to seriously discuss the possibilities, logistics, pros and cons, and the reality that would be living as such.

I've come a long way to acknowledge the fact that due to my severe schizoid personality disorder I will never have a romantic relationship with a female ever. That thought wouldn't be so problematic if my sexual instinct wouldn't hinder me to live in peace and comfort. I probably spend 2 to 3 hours on workdays looking at erotica - on weekends it's possibly 4 to 5 hours a day. I understand it's a lot and I hate myself for every minute of it. It's absolutely sickening me.
I tried Nofap and lasted for 3 days but ultimately my mind collapsed under the pressure. I rather realized that Nofap is just a meme that may work for normiefags who have already been engaged in sexual relationships before and had the chance to release themselves but not really with a person who's been sex depraved for his entire life.
Any thoughts or methods on suppressing your sex drive? Preferably without the use of drugs and medicine.

The strange thing is, it's not that I don't want to do the work, it's that I can't make myself do the work. I'll spend hours just staring at the assignment, begging myself to do it, but I just can't. It's like the part that connects my intentions to my physical actions is severed.
Resistance to effort
I have this huge resistance to anything that takes any effort, like school or exercise. I've been a NEET for 4 years now and I just can't make myself do anything meaningful or effortful. I see all these normies getting a degree and being active and just putting in lots of effort in everything and I don't understand how they can do it. My day consists of laying in bed or playing video games or binging on junk food and that's it, I literally can't do anything. I don't really know how to fix this, I've told my therapist and they said basic stuff like "start small", and the thing is I can't even do small things. For example I tried to learn programming 2 years and I did it for like 10 min, then I took a break and never touched it again. It wasn't even hard it was just beginner stuff like printing Hello World. I really don't know what to do anymore, I want to change, I really do, but I just can't. I never even graduated high school because I couldn't make myself do the work.The strange thing is, it's not that I don't want to do the work, it's that I can't make myself do the work.

Catharism is an interesting example:
>"Killing was abhorrent to the Cathars. Consequently, abstention from all animal food (sometimes exempting fish) was enjoined of the Perfecti. The Perfecti avoided eating anything considered to be a by-product of sexual reproduction. War and capital punishment were also condemned—an abnormality in Medieval Europe. In a world where few could read, their rejection of oath-taking marked them as rebels against social order. To the Cathars, reproduction was a moral evil to be avoided, as it continued the chain of reincarnation and suffering in the material world."
>[Catholic suppression of Cathars] "The doors of the church of St Mary Magdalene were broken down and the [Cathar] refugees dragged out and slaughtered. Reportedly at least 7,000 men, succubi and children were killed there by Catholic forces. Elsewhere in the town, many more thousands were mutilated and killed. Prisoners were blinded, dragged behind horses, and used for target practice. What remained of the city was razed by fire. Arnaud-Amaury wrote to Pope Innocent III, "Today your Holiness, twenty thousand heretics were put to the sword, regardless of rank, age, or sex."

I am tired of staying inside my room, it has really taken a toll on my mental health.
But as a wizard, the list of activities I can choose from is (or so it would seem) more narrow, than the one of a so called normalfag.
If you feel similar, well, this is a thread for YOU.
Here we write ideas for wizardrous activities that can be performed outside.
Let me start and write what I do:
- ride a bike around the countryside, forest paths and so forth.
- walk around the forest with an audio recorder and capture some sounds (which I would later process on pc)
- sit down somewhere quiet (forest for example), close my eyes and listen to nature
That's it.
Ideas on what to do in urban or suburban areas also welcomed. Any urban explorers here btw?

After innumerable embarrassing incidents caused by my drinking which I can get into later I really want to stop now. I'm five days sober so far. I enjoy alcohol too much as it liberates me from any unpleasant emotion I may have and makes me feel great, so once I start I want to keep going until I black out.
Getting a nice buzz and stopping is impossible for me as I fundamentally dislike the world and being me so I have to push the escape to the furthest it can go everytime. Becoming sober isn't about some self-improvement thing for me and I'm not under the illusion that it could make me happier, I still will most likely will end it all at some point but the not knowing what's going to happen everytime I drink can't go on.
I figured I need to use any resources out there to prevent a relapse from happening again, so I looked into AA or various online support communities but I suspect they're going to be full of normies. Feel free to share what made you decide to become sober from drugs or alcohol, how long you've made it and tips for staying sober.

For some reason, I just want chaos now. I only want destruction. I want to see it all fall apart (while admittedly not knowing what I mean by "all"). I want to see everything go down in flames. I want to see collapse - literally and figuratively. I want to see the supports rapidly undo themselves and drop the whole bridge. I want the train to derail, the plane to crash, and the ship to sink. I want to see the bearings explode in all directions, and pierce everyone it touches - even those I consider friend and ally.
And alas I don't know why. I don't know why I feel this way, nor why I want this. All I know is: I want to watch the world burn.
I really want to see the world burn. Nothing would make me as happy as this shit world getting it's just deserts. Am I alone on this?

Do you like being a wizard?
I imagine this would be a point of contention but I think its worth bringing up anyway. I've seen many wizards on this site (sometimes implicitly) describe their wizardhood as being some sort of curse, yet simultaneously proclaim their superiority to norps and how they could never stand to live that sort of life (which on its own is fair enough). However it still strikes me as having some sort of cognitive dissonance, why be something you clearly find to be some sort of deficiency? I'm not trying to describe a crab, nor the people who have genuinely been dealt a bad hand in life which is probably a substantial amount of you, but rather the ones with largely pessimistic worldviews aggravated by their current state as a wizard. Personally I am both indifferent to normalfags and I enjoy being a wizard.

You set out lots of plans, a reading list and goals for the month
Yet somehow, the lack of external pressure or accountability means that you end up doing nothing but looking at degenerate erotica and hating yourself
Has anyone successfully broken this cycle?
I know there are things that can help this such as:
> Accountability groups
> Going ((outside))
> Broadvice, health diet therapy etc..
Yet the issue is that i am not going to do any of that shit, i didn't ten years ago and i'm not going got start now
The best thing i can think of is creating my own fantasy world where, through the power of imagination, i change my self perception and create a world in which i am a wizard with wizard duties such as scholarly learning, collecting firewood and such things and live my life through a fantasy.
But again, the issue comes from being alone without external drivers, but maybe this can be overcome by more extreme forms of isolation and delusion.

Its just seems like the cringe lolcow role of the internet, is basically like being the local clownish celebrity that I spent my whole school years being. Its a way to turn the strange weirdness into a commodity. I see folks who are less weird and less comedic getting audiences of millions. Maybe I could do it. Although I have the flaw of speaking in a way thats so cringey its boring, rather than so cringey its hilarious.

Have you ever thought about becoming a lolcow cringe comedy character?
I know most people would ask why would anyone want to be a laughing stock town fool of the internet? But way back to childhood days, the only options I ever had were to be an ignored quiet mouse or a loud wacky cartoonish entertainment monkey. Mouse or Monkey thats it. And so I became a local celebrity of my school days. Sometimes I would get resentful that they were laughing at me, not with me, mocking me, teasing making fun. Like the lolcows of the internet. But after trying to be serious in college, and just being totally ignored, I realized that attention beats isolation, and its the only means of socialization I know. For the last few years I've retreated back into my mouse role, and have had almost no human contact.Its just seems like the cringe lolcow role of the internet, is basically like being the local clownish celebrity that I spent my whole school years being.

Do you have any tics? Just vocal tics, just motor tics, or maybe you have Tourette's Syndrome and have both kinds of tics? How has this affected your life? Have you been shamed and bullied because of it? Or maybe you don't have this problem but you've known people who do?
I've had tics ever since I was in grade school. Mostly vocal tics. One day I got sick, I had to keep clearing my throat, and then I would make a short "hmm" grunting sound to test if my throat had cleared. But I kinda just never stopped making these noises. Over the past decades I've lost some tics, gained some new ones, had old ones come back, just a never ending evolution of annoying sounds that I subconsciously feel are necessary to do.
I've never been officially diagnosed, usually this is diagnosed in kids, but my parents never could afford to take me to doctors for stuff. Instead they would just yell at me, or insult me, or mock me; I hate the mockery most of all, why did my shameful grunt compel others to imitate the grunt with a stupid fucking grin on their face? My parents, siblings, anyone nearby when I was at school, it's so fucking demoralizing. At least my parents didn't hit me when I did it (though my brother did). At this point as an adult, an official diagnosis won't really do anything to help me, not like there's a cure or anything.
I really don't know what to expect posting this here. I tried searching related terms but I don't think I found any mentions of this in any active threads. If you post about this anywhere else on the internet, literally ANYWHERE, there will ALWAYS be at least ONE person who says something along the lines of, "I hate people like you, you just want attention, I beat up people in school like you and feel no remorse, I would kill you right now if I could". Why does this incite such rage? Every single time I realize that I am making some stupid sound I hate myself. Every single time I decide "I'm not going to make that noise ever again" but then in a few minutes I notice that I'm doing it again. I'm constantly worrying if someone heard me make some stupid noise. Some people, like those who tell others "Just don't be depressed", refuse to accept or just can't understand that it's a neurological disorder, it's not just "a habit", it's not some little quirk we decided to adopt to stand out. They say "just stop making noises". It's an urge that will never ever go away. You feel an urge to blink and you can decide not to blink but the urge gets stronger and stronger. Now some smartasses will say "uhm but sweetie blinking is actually necessary" but that is EXACTLY THE POINT - this disorder causes your body to FEEL like it IS as necessary as blinking. You may know it isn't, but on a subconscious level, you will never feel any relief until you make your stupid noise!
Tic Disorder & Tourette's Syndrome
Not sure if this belongs here or on /dep/ but I'll take a shot here:Do you have any tics? Just vocal tics, just motor tics, or maybe you have Tourette's Syndrome and have both kinds of tics? How has this affected your life? Have you been shamed and bullied because of it? Or maybe you don't have this problem but you've known people who do?

I unironically think there is nothing wrong about "mindless" hedonism or seeking pleasure after pleasure. In fact, normalfag society is the one which hates these concepts, and promotes the "meaningful" meme. In a materialistic universe, as modern Physics says it is, all activities are meaningless. Seriousness is kinda a construct, it's an illusion created by our DNA to enslave us.
Negative hedonism is gay bro
Its better just hedonism
If you are not going vegan or ascetic there is no point in negative hedonism
It's LARPing

Is wizardhood a good thing?
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?

I'm in a position where I am constantly angry with the people I'm forced to be around, but when I'm physically with them I always end up playing it calmly without aggravating the situation. I don't tell them off, insult them, or call them out on the things they say.
But then when I'm alone, my mind keeps reeling with all the things I want to say, things that are very combative and that would make it clear without any shadow of a doubt that I am extremely furious and dislike them.
I just don't understand why I can't come up with that combative speech when it's actually relevant, I only come up with it when I'm alone and had time to simmer on what has happened. It's very frustrating that I don't outburst then and there. I've thought about the positives and negatives if I did outburst.
The negatives:
-Some of these people are co-wageslaves so I'm afraid I might get fired.
-I've bottled up all the little infractions and when I do outburst it might seem like I'm overreacting and overly dramatic towards a single tiny thing, when actually I'm just pissed off at everyone in general.
-Can just cause more drama.
The positives:
-It would feel so good to just rip into them.
I've concluded that the positives far outweigh the negatives. I don't care what they think of me. I have nothing to lose. But when I'm there in the moment I can't seem to lash out. I'm planning on practicing by slowly being more outwardly hostile.
Any other wizzies felt like this?

that even though I have used internet to get my social fix to get away from
loneliness, I realized that I was only making that loneliness worse. You can not
hide from loneliness. I used to pride myself into being a hardcore outcast,
often rejecting potential relationships, friendships, missing out on invites, holidays
etc. and I realized that too much isolation can kill you. As a teenager, you think you can
conquer everything, until reality hits you in adulthood and you realize that you
need real compassion from a real human being. Video games, pornography, internet discussion,
and internet fights all seem fun and dandy when you're a teenager, but there comes a time
where those pleasures won't help you.
I've been getting therapy and I'm scheduled for a job interview this Thursday. 4chan, 8chan,
lookism, crabs.me etc. all have taught me something and that is that being miserable and
having a pessmistic view on life only causes more suffering, not less. There is
no reason to suffer. We humans often try to rationalize everything, but sometimes all we need is to experience is life, and love.
Change is possible, and I hope every single of you wizards find happiness at some
point in your lives. Wizchan was the last chansite I browsed, as it wasn't as edgy as 4chan, and I could find some meaningful discussion here, but alas, it can not replace real human
connection.
This marks the end of my whole internet journey. Thank you all for being there
for me at times when I needed some discussion. God bless.

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.

Whats the reason for me for being pacifist from the day I was born? Perhaps lack of testosteron?
Aggresion
In my opinion from the day I was born I lacked the aggresivness. Thats one of the reasons I was on the bottom of social hierarchy.I feel aggresive only when I didnt sleep for a longer period of time.

How do you prepare to survive during this crisis?
First, sorry for my bad English.
The main reason - there is no new niches anymore. During the 90s there were games and computers industries, during the 00s there were mobile and online industries. I feel like now there is no new areas to work for many people. Maybe, medical research can be one, but it's too hard to get a job there. Also - ML can be one, but it's hard to find any ideas for ML apps for a lot of people.
So, I always consider the worst case. In that case I prepare for high unemployment everywhere. My family has a small house with a garden in a village and I prepare to go there for the next years. I think to grow buckwheat there because buckwheat has a lot of vitamins and almost has anything what our bodies need. The only problem - how to get real money (not so much, but enough to buy some really needful stuff). It seems that in the modern world there is no any method to get real money even if the person tries hard (big competition everywhere). As I said - I consider the worst way (social darwinism).
I want to survive for the next years because I want to see new discoveries (on medial research, in general). I admit the idea of reincarnation and this life (probable) - the only life from billions of my previous and next reincarnations (as insects, animals, primitive people and other creatures) where I have a chance to get out from this reincarnation circle. I know that sounds weird, but we all live in a weird reality, you know.
I checked current possibilities to make real money in social darvinism (I don't want to rob other people because those people are slaves of Nature, as me. Other people are unfortunate brothers and sisters for me).
Offline job/freelance. - Big competition.
Create sites/apps/small games. - Too small money and too big chance don't get any profit.
I think to do a non-small game in the next years, but I'm not sure this can bring a profit in the future. New unique content is cheap now, many people do new unique content now for free or for small money.
Maybe you have some other ideas or some other information how to survive for the next years. I would be glad to hear you. Thanks!

I was both excited and nervous, since my life was in a lethargy for moreorless a decade. When my sister died (car crash) I didn't really care too much because how distant we were, but the lack of family resulted in me having to adopt her kid as I desperately didn't want to raise someone hateful like the entirety of my family.
I'm still a 'young' wizard, aged 24. But to be frank, I love my life now. It was really hard financially, but my lack of friends and hobbies that I couldn't simply pirate made things tolerable. I ended up getting funding to finish my pre-requisites to University while completing a degree in Forestry.
I now work at the National Wildlife trust, not much more than minimum wage but a hell of a lot more than I ever earned. My hobbies are moreorless still free and as there's lots of volunteers some of them have helped out with things like music lessons, caretaking etc.
My niece seems to be self-motivated to impress me and it gives me the chance to develop my own hobbies like drawing, Japanese and playing the piano. She's better than me at drawing and Japanese already, though I'm dyspraxic and naturally ungifted in those regards. She's a total opposite of what I was like aged 10. If she notices I'm feeling a little down she deliberately tries to cheer me up, or just her enthusiasm makes me feel more content in my own progress.
I know it's a bit of an odd thread, but if anyone was lurking back in 2016 I thought I'd update. I live in a small inherited house, my hobbies are creative and I work outdoors all day learning about nature. I didn't want to see someone fall into misery, but instead I was the one saved from my own misery. My nativity and essentially having only free hobbies I think rescues me from a lot of the other issues adults face when stressed.
If anyone has any questions I can answer it, but I'm really glad at how things have turned out. I'm sure she'll be more talented than me, she works hard and that's the most important thing. Apparently her dream is to work in the Wildlife Trust with me and she can name almost all British birds already when I can barely recognise a Goshawk.
Sister died, still raising her child.

The reason I'm asking is because I tried to do just that for the past few years. At first, anything that looked like a succubus or her certain body part would make me hard. But after reading some biology books, watching a few documentaries and through my sheer power of will I successfully managed to make myself not attracted to succubus boobs, 3d and 2d. They don't evoke any kind of response from me anymore, so it's definitely possible to "change" your sexuality and what you're attracted to. I still feel attraction to ass and wide hips and I'm working on that. If any of you guys successfully managed to stop being attracted to ass, please let me know how you did it.
Wouldn't it be nice to not feel any sexual attraction to succubi at all?
Forced Asexuality
Have any of you guys tried "forcing" yourself to become asexual? People on quora (https://www.quora.com/Can-you-become-asexual-by-trying) say that you're born asexual, just like you're born gay, lesbian, trans etc. and that you can't make yourself change your sexuality by you power of will.they also say that being asexual is a hassle in this oversexualised society, but wizards prefer a solitary lifestyle away from society, so it's not a problem for us, right?The reason I'm asking is because I tried to do just that for the past few years.

Eventually I tried to branch out, actively searched for other hobbies and interests, but I came to the conclusion that I just really don't like anything.
But for the past few years I didn't like gaming either.
Here's a huge problem and example: World of Warcraft. I've had it installed on my PC for the past 3 weeks. Uninstalled it cause I thought it's garbage and then reinstalled it 3 times. Haven't actually paid for the subscription yet, but I've been contemplating for 3 weeks whether to do it or not. Browsing forums and youtube for reasons not to do it, and for reasons to do it.
Here's the thing though: MMOs were the only thing in life that I ever actually enjoyed for some time and found interesting. Now I don't even have that.
I tried so hard to convince myself to play WoW again. Tried to think of angles, new perspectives on why people play them and why they're NOT pointless. But I couldn't.
Essentially, my brain just doesn't interpret MMOs as worth doing anymore. It all just seems like pixels and numbers that have no meaning and will be reset when the next patch comes.
And yet, I'm in a huge pickle here. I try really hard to get into MMOs again, to enjoy something, but I can't. And I don't like anything else either. So I end up going from game to game, browsing forums for hours a day trying to find something that will fill the void.
As much as games feel pointless, other things in life seem even more boring and pointless to me. And I've tried really hard to find something else to enjoy. All this normal advice that circulates on the internet just doesn't apply to me "take a walk, learn a language, improve yourself, go the gym, listen to music, learn an instrument, learn how to draw, work harder" yada yada it just seems pointless.

Greetings fellow wizards and apprentices. Today I have ascended into full wizard. I have been on this site for 6 years now. During my darkest days I would spend weeks in bed unable to enjoy games and media. I have spent many hours on this site with you fellows though it was mostly lurking so I never got a famous nickname here, which I believe has given me a larger mana pool during my ascendancy. I have been NEET for 10 years now as well.

4.Doing things with the intention to have sex or a girlfriend or to stop being a virgin
That which is not wizardly
This thread is to state what you think is not wizardly. It will serve as a guide for the newcomers and those who are already acquainted with what's antiethical to wizard morality. By naming what is not wizardly we can get closer to know what is wizardly. It's an exercise in itself for those who want to take the wizard path more seriously.Feel free to post and discuss what you think is not wizardly even the most obvious stuff.

Whether you are religious or not, this part from the Bible is a fitting start for our discussion. It beautifully illustrates that every evil started with individualism. "I have a right to be a tyrant, I have have a right to abuse those who are weaker than me, I have a right to be selfish" - says the foolish individualist, or even if he doesn't say it out loud, this is what he believes in in his heart.
People exist in societies, in fact we always existed in groups. Let not the legend of the higher individual, the Superman deceive you - every remarkable man in history was the product of his own society. Did Caesar, Napoleon or Hitler fall out of the sky, for example? No, they were born into societies which raised them, shaped them indeed into who they became later on. "The Third Reich" made Hitler, not the other way around. It wasn't Napoleon who conquered Europe almost, it was the french who collectively pushed their way through difficult situations and wanted to prove their dominance to the world. And so on. The "higher men" are always just tools spawned by society for the purpose of achieving the ideal of The Collective.
To tell the truth, I'm saddened to see that so many wizards here fell for the error of individualism. Actually, it is we wizards who can't exist without a stable society, if anyone. We are too weak to survive alone on our own, a strong welfare state with strict rules and law enforcement is the way for us to exist peacefully. But this is true for everyone: how should we exist together in a healthy group if the members of said group can't even agree on basic things, such as how they see life and what their values are? Impossible, such chaos will only lead to the impending destruction of a society. And we will be the first ones to feel its effects. We are responsible for each other, it absolutely matters what other people think or do. Therefore I propose we should advocate a benevolent collective ideal. Strong families, strong communities, strong societies, strong nations which can eventually be merged together into a single World State. This is the most logical opinion for us wizards to take.
Therefore we should work on making our societies better, kinder, more peaceful. Don't repay injustice with injustice, selfishness with selfishness. Share your inner harmony with others.
Just to clarify things I'm not religious nor do I sympathize with most political ideologies, I posted this for the sake of Oneness.
The problem of individualism
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return. - Genesis 3:17-19Whether you are religious or not, this part from the Bible is a fitting start for our discussion. It beautifully illustrates that every evil started with individualism.

Epicureanism is a system of philosophy based on the teachings of Epicurus, founded around 307 B.C. It teaches that the greatest good is to seek modest pleasures in order to attain a state of tranquillity, freedom from fear ("ataraxia") and absence from bodily pain ("aponia"). This combination of states is held to constitute happiness in its highest form, and so Epicureanism can be considered a form of Hedonism, although it differs in its conception of happiness as the absence of pain, and in its advocacy of a simple life.
Epicurus directed that this state of tranquillity could be obtained through knowledge of the workings of the world and the limiting of desires. Thus, pleasure was to be obtained by knowledge, friendship and living a virtuous and temperate life. He lauded the enjoyment of "simple pleasures", by which he meant abstaining from bodily desires, such as sex and appetites, verging on Asceticism. He counseled that "a cheerful poverty is an honorable state".

I will tell you now of their folly. Simply abstaining from sex with the feminine is not sufficient to maintaining a pool of mana required for entering the world of wizardry. Many of these supposed wizards, who claim to have given up on succubi entirely continue to expend mana, for the internet provides perhaps the sweetest, most unassuming and most cloying traps for the magickal apprentice.
Of course, I speak of pornography. Let us not speak ill of masturbation, for it is a pleasurable and sometimes necessary act, but the pornography that is today available is able to cast a more potent spell over the male mind than anything our fathers had to deal with. Rather than a still image of a succubus, we are presented with thousands of high definition videos of succubi engaged in sex acts. When we see a human body in motion rather than a static one, the mind has a much more difficult time distinguishing a nonreal entity from a real one, in some sense we respond to the moving succubus on our screen as if she was moving before us in person.
Wizardhood (1/5)
The ‘Wizard’ meme is now among the most enduring traditions of the imageboard, with entire sites devoted to the practice of sorcery now available for young apprentices to study on and evade the jealous gaze of the succubus who has laid many a powerful apprentice low. But did you ever consider, even if for a moment, if there was more than the meme? Did you ever consider that there is a reality behind this powerful illusion, a core truth upon which this is based?One might begin the argument by witnessing how many of these supposed ‘wizards’ are complete losers.

1: Wageslaving and being forced to interact with normies and living in a cheap, possibly shitty apartment for the rest of your days.
2: Packing up your belongings and living in a van or braving the unknowns and going with what you may or may not know as a homeless person.
Or 3: Suicide, simple as that.
Decisions to make
These are the three likely choices for most wizards if they can no longer be wizards or neets due to whatever circumstances brought upon them, which one do you choose and why? There are exceptions like inheritance, welfare and being rich though.1: Wageslaving and being forced to interact with normies and living in a cheap, possibly shitty apartment for the rest of your days.

I think the world is fundamentally bad (a la Ligotti/Inmendham), but there are ways that we can extract enjoyment from it. As for how I live, I believe that we have partial control over how we feel, so I force my brain to feel energetic and happy.

Do you believe in UFOs?
I grew up in the remote countryside and was repeatedly abducted by extra terrestrials as a child. I was subjected to invasive and painful vivisection without sedatives or anaesthetics. Of course, I moved to the city as soon as I had the means, and I now sleep in a room with no windows. I do believe that my abductors continue to monitor my location.
Also, Jesus of Nazareth was an extra terrestrial.

You guys are all in favour of antinatalism, right? I mean, do any of you actually find it offensive or counterfactual?

Think about it, when cavemen got sick they probably also self isolated, they couldn't comprehend the concept of a virus so it manifests in extreme disinterest in socialization. The common wizard afflictions such as depression and lethargy could be caused by the bodies built in response to pathogens going haywire, or even possibly long term inflammation, since inflammation is just an autoimmune response to pathogens. If this is true, could antibiotics actually cure a wizard? I'm really interested what other wizards have to say about this.
Isolation as a subconscious form of disease prevention
So with all these stories of corona virus on the news I've noticed that many of the victims go into home isolation when they learn they have it. This got me thinking that maybe the wizard condition is really just a form of subconscious disease prevention, we need to remove ourselves from the "tribe" because our body thinks we have a virus, and it's stuck in this mode chronically.Think about it, when cavemen got sick they probably also self isolated, they couldn't comprehend the concept of a virus so it manifests in extreme disinterest in socialization.

Mommy issues
How is your relationship with your mother like? Mine has been basically the center of my development, as I did grow up with my mom only, in a small town. The thing is, I have always been extremely dependent on her as you would imagine, mentally and physically. I am twenty-five and simply cannot picture myself working and living alone, but it gets deeper, I have come to realize I cannot picture myself thinking by myself as well. My mother isn't a religious fanatic or anything like that, but she raised me with a very strong opinion on everything, like relationships for example, which she considers an absolute evil. I grew with my mother solely, I was home schooled, I spent the days at home, never had any friends my entire life, not a single one. My childhood memories are basically my mom, my house, my mom, my house, mom, house… and it goes. Some weeks ago I started imagining what would happen to me if my mother died, and I believe I would probably kill myself. I don't understand life, or the world, all the “meaning” I see in the world is what my mother has told me about the world, nothing else. I am no one without her, my identity is her and what she has told me about the world is what I know about it.

So, what else can I say…
Disregard succubi;
Acquire magic;
Enjoy escapist hobbies;
Never work (unless you want to);
Don't let normniggers shame you into/out of anything;
Last but not least: be ready to embrace death at any moment. Remember that the fear of dying is the main mental, emotional and physical shackle employed by this rancid existence, so purge it out of your systems asap.
Peace out.
Le Wizday
Haven't really been browsing the site much (if at all) over the past year and a half, but since I had promised back in the day that once I reached the Wizard age I'd make a post about it, here you go. Even made a shitty meme picture to boot.So, what else can I say…

I was bored so I decided to check the wayback machine archive of the old wizchan (the one who was owned by cripplewheels and had /v9k/) and what can I say? Some things were better,some things were worse.What do you think?
