How do you cope with fetishes you cant control? A lot of failed normalfags couldnt even start sex lives if they wanted to, because their fetishes are so repugnant. Aside from that, having a weird fetish personally fills me with tons of anxiety, mostly because I'm always wasting my free time scouring the net for any type of new material that fulfills my needs. It's uncontrollable; even worse when your fetish is so obscure, not even the porn industry wants to capitalize on it.

Even in the worst case scenario though, the disgusting and repugnant fetishes are likely telling you that the situation in your life is really fucked, and perhaps that is an irreconcilable situation - but the fetish is just a "thing", something that can set aside. Everything, and I mean everything, can be destroyed and reassembled, and literally anything else could be put in its place, so long as that other thing "works". You can't really be "asexual" in that sense - the drive for some belonging or place in the world is such that you're going to have a drive for something. It's entirely possible to see the sexual aspect as an inconvenience or incidental, even make it into a sort of game to manage, and find your happiness elsewhere once it has been dismissed.

I am assuming of course your fetish isn't highly illegal and the feds aren't coming for you, but if it's that, then you have a problem of hiding your life from the feds more than the fetish itself.

Your method is tapping into actual reproductive instincts which I have zero respect for and so would be rendered void. I put no stake in such desires of others and my self image is steadfast.

Fetishism is only maladaptive if it disrupts some other desire you have (like the desire to reproduce etc), otherwise it's just regular old adapted cope like all the rest of behavior. Is it perfectly healthy? No, but neither is sedentary living, extended computer usage, most cheap food and so on and so forth. Chasing perfect health prevents you from being in the present and efficiently living within your means. Reality is always moderate. If you masturbate so much you go crazy and your health deteriorates, fetishes are the least of your concern. If fetishes can get you in legal trouble or cause self-hatred, then you should probably work on that (though with the latter self-love is just as easy to attain by getting over yourself).

It is mere masturbation. Stay grounded and examine the true cause and effect of your life and you will find near invariably that moderation is the correct answer. I can tell you have a lot of symbols and pillars of value running things in your head however, and moderation in its mundane neutrality probably stands opposed to many of them. This too, is regular human cope, so I'm not that concerned for you.

>for the vast majority of people here, this is just one stop on their life journey.
yes

> i can't blame anyone for finding success and happiness in life and looking back with pity on the rest of us

yes you can. they know they dont belong, they know they are actively still pursuing a normal life, including a much wanton sexual experience with succubi. if you have this in you, then you can safely leave as you're not a wizard and you're at odds with what wizardry is about -read the rules or banner-

>all their problems might seem like the worst in the world, even though in the grand scheme of things they aren't.

they know it, even going so far as to point that out, they still complain and humblebrag at the same time, and it's obvious that all their worries stem from not reaching critical normal milestones and having a succubus.

>the other day some guy was like "i only have 4 friends and i only make X amount of money per week"

yeah its a bit silly isnt it

>is it wrong for that guy to feel sad about his life, just because there's people worse off? i don't know

yes. it's conceited, and very self-important attitude, people that have all the major bases covered humblebragging on a board where they KNOW that some people have nothing they have, and they do it all the same. that is super typical normal behavior.

instead of fixing their 'problems' -read cant get succubi- by calling themselves out on their bullshit, their need for personal growth and framing things better, they come and post here.

there are entire websites dedicated to normals complaining about their non-existent problems. nobody is making you take out a mortage, nobody is making you work 150k a year to support a single person who isn't going to be having a family in future. nobody is making you live a high stress lifestyle to gain all the trappings of 'normal' success. those 'problems' arent real.

if you can simply throw it away, or ignore it, then it isn't a real problem. real problems like cancer, or homelessness, or disability, you wont see them complaining about that, it's always the same old tired things about how they don't have a normal sex-haver life in full and they're depressed about it.

I struggle really hard to maintain steady employment. I'm 32 currently and have probably worked for a grand total of approximately 18 months over the past 11 years (since I graduated university). I've had about 6 or 7 different jobs in that time; one for a whole year, and the others for a few days to a few weeks each.

Getting up and going to work fills me with so much anxiety and dread that I can't keep it up for very long. I don't get NEETbux, but I'm fortunate enough to have understandable parents who sort of understand that I'm a social retard with crippling anxiety, so I don't get pushed too hard to do anything. I recently completed an introductory course for accounting, so I'm going to try and get a part-time job with that (preferably remote work).

I want to share my experiences of having an inner monologue and somewhat losing it later on.

For most of my life up until I was 17 I had an inner monologue. This was almost constant, always some kind of monologue occurring in my head. It was almost a little bit overwhelming, and while I was not diagnosed, I'm 100% sure I had OCD. Would constantly check stuff even though I knew it didn't have to, repeating things in my head to calm anxiety etc. - textbook OCD.

I remember at my "peak" I scored 128 on the Norwegian Mensa IQ test on the first attempt. Not saying that means I had that high IQ, but I'm mentioning it because nowadays I can't score more than 100-110 on the same test.

Anyways, when I was 16-17 there was a lot of fucked up personal shit I don't want to mention, but it was out of my control. I did not use drugs and I wasn't particularly irresponsible, not more than others at that age anyway.

I had gone to the doctor because I was experiencing fatigue. This was shown to be linked to low vitamin D (though it was had more to do with my home environment). The first day I took this supplement, my inner monologue quieted down. It was still there somewhat, but not as active. The next day I took the supplement again it was even quieter. I think I took for a month until I stopped because I didn't feel like myself, inner monologue was basically gone. Even though I stopped it did not return fully. This was compounded by the fact that I decided I needed to lose weight, so I did lots of water fasting, not eating for 2 days at a time. While fasting does provide some benefits, it is not recommended for someone who's brain is still developing. Malnutrition can have permanent effects on your development, which it did in my case. My inner monologue was basically completely gone at this point.

After awhile I actively tried to quiet my brain down because I had such an awful home environment, I would just watch YouTube videos with sound on full blast so I didn't have to hear what was going inside my head or in my living area (family issues). This was right before turning 18.

Ever since, things have not been the same. This was 5 and a half years ago, and things have never been the same again. I do not think as quickly, I don't "get" or understand things as quickly. Like if I read a text or hear someone say something, I may have difficulty understanding it (reading comprehension). This was almost never the case before. Post too long.

i have full on aphantasia and can't imagine visual or sound and i have no monologue. when i first heard that other people have such inner experiences, i thought they were schizophrenic or crazy. then i learned the majority of people experience this stuff

as far as i'm aware, it doesn't matter at all and your brain simply find a different way to achieve the same result. there are tons of animators and artists and so on that cannot visualize, they are actually over represented which is odd. something i read in a study is that people with aphantasia don't have the same emotional reactions when reading text, scary stories, etc, but react the same as normal people when shown movies and films and so on. so they might thrive in careers requiring unemotional responses to information, like emergency situation

i can still imagine despite no audio/visuals though. the main way i imagine things is just feeling it with imaginary hands almost. so there is nothing, it's all black, but i can feel the spaces and shapes all at once. there seems to be a limit to the amount of detail though. a full on person with lots of curvy shapes and limbs and so on is too hard, but a table, geometric things, maps, these are okay

when speaking i have to form the sentence ahead of time, which if i had to describe how it goes, it's like running your hand left to right and feeling words, but you're not actually feeling them, instead the word or concept or whatever becomes fresh in the mind, again without being heard or spoken or seen. and when it feels correct i say it. if it doesn't feel correct, i keep thinking about what to say. i've done what is called 'stream of consciousness', a writing exercise, but i've spoken it aloud and recorded myself and listened to it and it reaches a point where i don't even know what i'm saying anymore and it's all gibberish, but when i listen to the recording, it's intelligible but feels like another person is speaking, not me

it sometimes feels like inside my head i have headphones on and i'm blindfolded, but someone else beside me can see and hear, and is covnerting what they see into sign language or something tactile. so what i'm imagining is like a weird game of telephone where the original thing is converted and passed along. and likewise when speaking and thinking, i feel like a caveman. i originally thought the npc meme was about an innner monologue actually, that something else inside you was simply speaking for you and you just repeated it. apparently npc meme was the opposite, not having an inner monologue somehow. i don't get it really

i'm not at all successful in life and have a painful time socializing even with family, but i'm not autistic or mentally ill or otherwise diagnosed with anything. i wish i could say that despite all this shit i'm actually a millionaire and it doesn't matter, but i have worked for only 3 months in the past decade and i'm really poor. maybe it doesn't matter and this is just how i am, i don't know. i know most meditation techniques are based around visualization which was disappointing to learn, since despite having no inner experiences i was deep into meditation for years. i'm somewhaPost too long.

The church of Satan are a bunch of larping faggots. If you wanna learn magick start with something like the Psychonaut Field Manual or Prometeus Rising. Then get into the Kybalion and other Hermetic books. From there you can get into more serious shit like Kabbalah, The keys of Solomon, Goetian stuff and if you don't like abrahamic shit you can learn planetary magick, wicca, law of attraction etc.
Don't do rituals or cast spells until you know what the fuck you're doing. Magick is very similar to cooking. You can get a recipe book and try to cook one of the recipes there, but if you have zero cooking experience you're gonna fuck it up.

I was arguing with some classmate today, who went on about how ugly people shouldn't have kids. And of course I am ugly too. Hence, eventually a wizard.

I don't know what happened to me today but I had almost a sudden change of mine, somewhere down the line of arguing with my classmates, I figured out that they don't give a shit about ugly people suffering. If they did they would do something to help them. Not fucking exterminate them.

It's like eradicating poverty by bombing people or eradicating cancer by shooting cancer patients. I don't know, now, I find myself of the opinion that if an ugly gut gets a chance he should have children. He too deserves all the happiness of having a child.

And who knows maybe due to the randomity of universe the child turns out to be Chad or Stacy. Do you guys ever have a change of mind like this? About a topic that you felt so deeply about?

Like I know my parents are ugly and responsible for my predicament. But I think that both of them have done a lot for me. And while it is their duty to do it. I feel grateful at times.

It cannot be overstated how much “normal” people value their social status. There’s lots of studies demonstrating how much social status threat impacts behavior, and how much they feel intense disgust response in regards to it . Even if a loser dude is nice to them after an unpleasant event, the idea the loser thinks they’re equal creates a disgust response as it threatens their social image. I can’t remember the studies name.
For losers who don’t think in those terms because they’ve got nothing to protect it makes no sense.

Ugly people are evil in the eyes of normies. We are bad people for being ugly and we deserve being treated like shit. There's a reason why the bad guy in movies is always ugly or deformed. For a normalfag, there's no greater sin that a person can do than being ugly. There are succubi simping for literal serial killers, but if an ugly guy would approach them, they would treat him like shit no matter how much of a good person he is.
And you know what's the worst part? They're not wrong, it's not their fault. That's just mother nature telling you through the normalcattle hivemind that you're not good enough and she wants you dead. I'm not sure about you, but I'm not planning to give the bitch the satisfaction.

Well, it takes quite some time to explain it, there are youtube videos that can do it way better than I ever could.

In a nutshell, LLMs manipulate language statistically, so after word X they think that it is statistically likely that word Y should follow. However, the right answer to a riddle might actually be Z, but the LLM doesn't know that, beacause it's stupid.

That's why you get hallucinations: the AI writes stuff that sounds right, but the answer is actually wrong.

Of course, this is a simplification, and everything is way more complex than that. In fact they do have some kind of internal logic, because since they use a lot of VRAM ("big hardware"), they internally have so many if-else statements (they're not really if-else statements, but I'm simplifying) that some kind of logic and reasoning actually emerges during training. However, since the internal logic is being created automatically by training, there is no way to check these conditions.

That's why they are called "black boxes": you cannot debug them.

Also they reason in a very non-human way, so even if you could debug them, everything would look like garbage to a human, it would be like reading obfuscated code.

Even the AIs that recognize a dog in a picture, have no concept of a dog, they are only "reasoning" about pixels positions, in an extremely abstract and non-human way.

Given these facts, you can only get LLMs to act like they are smart, but you cannot make them ACTUALLY smart.

If I train a human to do calculations basing on how the number sounds when spelled, the human might get some results, it might do 1 + 1, and 2 + 2, because the words "one" and "two" sound different. But at some point it will just fail and be stuck. And you cannot IMPROVE that, because the method is wrong: you should teach him what a number is, you should actually teach it logic, the proper way. And we don't have that right now, and probably never will (the hardware is not suitable).

Probably biocomputers might stand a chance, but those are not a thing of the immediate future.

This is just negative rigid thinking. Tech builds on itself. I do admit that about a decade ago when using RNNs for NLP started becoming big I thought there wasn't much to the tech outside of its specialized bubble. Of course LLMs evolved from that initial research and somethign major will come from this LLM research. It is constant improvement. Great tech doesn't just pop out of thin air overnight.

I was watching a movie set in high school and all the images, themes, and plot, resurfaced a bunch of memories from 15 years ago when I was still a young student.

I began to think deeply, at least more than usual, and realized many things that were not visible to me back then:

I thought I was widely divergent, in my mind, and at the same time self-deprecating of myself and entire existence.
Ironically enough, I was idealistic to carry with the burden of unfulfilled wishes, and at times, sarcastic which was mistaken as braveness by the rest of classmates. During recess, I even had a group of nerd kids who enjoyed my company deeply because I made them laugh. I was the funny guy but not a class clown, at least that phase of mine was long gone at that age. I was only a class clown before puberty, after puberty some remains still persisted but most of it had been taken away by a poignant depression that I tried to hide under a not so noticeable sardonic view of my peers, teachers, and school life in general.

Superficially and deep down, I was a nice guy and I couldn't hide my true nature of being… a nice guy, a good honest person. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that people are born a nice person while others are born to be corrupt and this is another flaw in our universe, after all, reality isn't meant for the idealistic and good guys and those who want to make things right.
Reality and nature is more shaped for those who are cruel enough to impose their will, be it through brute force, violence, manipulation, lies, or abuse of nature itself.

The worst mistake was to try and deny myself of that truth, hoping it to be a lie, that we humans are a flawed species. Corrupted to the very end. Every fiber of our beings, is almost predestined to be evil. Humanity's true nature is evil and if you leave us like we are we only sink to lower depths.

We have no choice but to die out. It's painful but I hope for everyone to be erased. I don't believe in the future. No future will make up for the horrible pain of each individual's past.

In that sense, there is nothing to fix, nothing to change, there is only things waiting to vanish, that is, we as humans. We have to erase us that's the ulterior moral responsibility of every human being that's awakened. A fool will say that I'm biased, that it's my feelings and negative emotions speaking, but rationally speaking, nothing you do for me or guys like Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

>there may be something good waiting for you, I mean that.
Nope. Wrong logic. If there is nothing after death, there is nothing.
If there is something, it's not good by definition, because existence (in whichever form) is suffering.

>Something made us differently, made us to be different from others.

It's just the randomness of nature.
We are not prophets or anything. Life is suffering for the normalfags/neurotypicals/normals however you want to call them, and for the outcasts too.

The only salvation is extinction.

Truly believing that existence is only suffering can only always make it so. I also don't like being alive, but repeating this to myself every day is profitless and at length harmful. I'm not however going to argue optimism…only saying that in adopting pessimism you've built a predefined cage for your experiencing mind and because you've fixed yourself foolishly to this belief you are now boasting of the bars of that cage.

what this guy said.
dont worry a lot of silly angst will go away in your 30's and 40's and you will then be left with real problems which will take your mind away from the mental masturbation exercise of how bleak everything is.

the russians also have a saying for this, there isn't a word that translates in english. their word sounds like toska, a kind of despair and acceptance of this being the state of things. they say that toska is the province of the young, and here on wizchan reading all these post by people in a rut, that couldn't be more obvious. some of which will even go on to be sex-havers, the tourists, the 'apprentices', that will make it out of here one day, because they never belonged.

in almost every case when you're older you won't be jerking off as much as when you were younger, that goes for both the physical and the mental masturbation exercises, which is what toska is, the province of the young. when you grow up, you will have real things to be concerned about. you will have properly disregarded females, and sought to acquire magic. i'm working on a post that elucidates this further.

we really dont know how all of 'this' works, and so many apprentices have completely internalized the value and belief systems of normals, which is why many they denigrate and see their lives as so miserable.

suffering is an inherent part of life, there is no human being on this planet that doesnt suffer. even those that have everything, you can go read their larp threads, the 'vol els' that complain about how miserable they are being addicted to sex. no, one of the biggest problems people here have is they are young they don't have people investing in them and they dont have good mentors. plenty of ugly guys go on to make bank and have families, i've seen plenty of men in their 40's start a family. and we've got people posting here that haven't even been alive half that time.

it always did amaze me how i managed to bullshit myself so well that my perspective was so well formed being in my 20's. yeah you might have certain things right, that doesn't mean that you got the rest right. im sure people can try pick apart bits and pieces here and they will because taking ownership is difficult, self-reflectionPost too long.

It's not like I'm thinking about that all day. I'm just saying what I think because it's related to the topic.
Also, the self-fulfilling prophecy bullshit idea doesn't really apply anymore where you've already lived 35 years and tried therapy, psychiatry, and everything. Some people just can see "how bleak everything is", as you said, and they can't do anything about it.

>because existence (in whichever form) is suffering
Buddha describe certain types of existence that are fun, pleasant and long-lasting, so good you won't even consider his Nirvana.
When you fully control your body, it's as beautiful as you want, can't be hurt or get sick. When your mind defaults to happiness, suffering becomes almost impossible.
There's a chance it can be reached even without rebirth, through science. Providing this civilization doesn't end.
