Reading a few different things right now; PF Strawson's paper "Freedom and Resentment," Richardson's biography of Emerson, a few short stories I've bookmarked from online magazines (Joyland, Heavy Traffic, Prairie Schooner, Granta). Learning a lot, but I couldn't tell you what I've been learning. Beside me I've got a 30pg Muji notebook that I'm hoping to fill in the next week or two. Might go on a walk later today. Took the bus to the local university art museum yesterday, saw picrel in the flesh. Idly daydreaming about living in a van.

I want to go back to school and get a degree, but idk what for. Healthcare has the most security, but becoming a nurse or provider does not appeal to me at all. I think I just want to be around smart people with the same hobbies as me so I wouldn't feel so alone. Even generating stories feel difficult without inspiration from meaningful social interaction

Anon, you’re trapped in the inadequate idea. You imagine yourself as a kingdom within a kingdom, a little island separate from the sea.
There is no 'World' out there to give a fuck about you because there is no 'You' that exists apart from the World. You are a mode of the infinite Substance; a single breath in an eternal lung. When you say the World doesn't care, you are just a part of God complaining to another part of God that you've forgotten who you are.
To 'give a fuck' about the World is simply the highest form of self-preservation (Conatus). You don't do it because the World 'deserves' it; you do it because as your understanding of the Whole grows, your hatred of the parts dies. You are the universe experiencing its own necessity. Act like it.

I was neet for a long time. That changed, about 4 years ago. Recently I finished a masters degree, now I'm working on a PhD which should be ready in 2 years or so.
I feel empty. Before I had no career, I was a failure in so many ways. Now everything seems to be falling into place. But I feel empty.
It's like my artistic delusions came to a halt. Even within arts, and I have become familiar with many writers and artists, the struggle to write and sell a book has become too real. I feel like my isolation made me think I was a sort of genius, or someone who had the potential to be one, maybe write something worth reading.
I still believe I am damn good at my job. But the gap between the works I admire and what I am able to do feels larger everyday.
And I cannot devote any time to anything except my work. I have read a lot in these years, but only scientific papers. I just don't have the time to finish a novel, which is crazy, but true. I know it has been about a decade since I had time to read as much as I wanted to. Now, I remember how much I used to read back then and fills me with nostalgia.
I am rambling, I know. I think I'm just tired right now.

>Sophia of Montferrat was the second wife of the imperial prince Ioannes Palaiologos (later emperor, 1425– 1448). She was tall and had a body to die for, and her flowing blond hair reached to her ankles. But there was something grotesquely disfigured about her face. The people of Constantinople called her Lent from the front but Easter from behind. (They were a religious people, those Byzantines.) Ioannes never had sex with her, and divorced her as soon as he gained the throne (Doukas, History 20).

This building has a triangle upper shape which leads the eyes up;
a column and architrave setup which brings an horizontal aspect;
dome tops which emphasizes centrality

don't delude yourself, The News is just entertainment, and plenty worse than art of fiction because it involves no intellectual activity, unless you know how to relate events to history.

Like really what does a person *get* from the news? Information? Certainly, but is that valuable information? unless you work in an industry more or less related to an event, it doesn't matter for your work. So what do you get? Really, what you get is exercise, an exercise of opinion, you get to share and view detached opinions of others and play with it, and share your own as well, because it's fun, because you enjoy feud, but fun quickly get stale, don't delude yourself that The News is any more serious or practical or useful than that. There is no lesson nor gain to be had in there, nothing more than passion feeding entertainment

>negative consequences are always a possibility
So what? Do you prepare for those? If it ever arrives, so what, I'll just deal with market consequences in the moment, the only advantage on me is you'll be able to say "haha, I knew it; I saw it coming", good for you pet boy, but that is no real advantage, keep slurping good good news slop, you'll be well informed, and all the more perfect for it, right? Man, just go read or play games, so that if we meet or you meet someone you aren't such a chore to deal with, such a pessimist, such a soulless husk

Someone should make a website where you can type in your zip code and it shows ways to get involved in your local primary, and also allows you to connect with everyone in your local area that's right wing. This would be a good way to start local group chats and start making some ethnic solidarity in places where the high trust-ness has left but the need to persist continues because they are still very valuable. E.g. nice parts of NE that aren't Newport tier.

I wish I could build this.

The first King who played the game of King, of chess, was the Persian Pad-Shah Shapur II, who was taught it by his wazir who had invented it. The wazir was the better chess player, but the King was always the winner of the game.
The King attained victory by the ingenious device of overturning the chessboard at a crucial point of the game and declaring himself the winner. This showed an imagination of the sort that the wazir did not have; and it was for this reason that Shapur was the King, and the wazir would never be anything but wazir.

This is not a shitpost. I spent 24 hours trying to approach the world like a woman and it made me want to kill myself. I couldn't think about philosophy, I couldn't play competitive games, I couldn't get hyped up and energetic, I couldn't get laser focused and obsessive. I had to stay focused on my surroundings, giving attention only to what was near. I was calm, composed, easygoing. Eating smaller portions. My skin looked younger and brighter. I tried to masturbate but I couldn't get off, nothing was erotic. Everything felt so shallow and superficial compared to what I'm used to. I cannot imagine wanting to be a woman.

>>25115815
I don't know why. But through text you can sense when people use a term they ascribe inherent weight or authority to.
People will mention 'the worble' and you will immediately get that they think 'the worble' is automatically impressive and important. Some other times they will invoke it as authoritative; 'the worble', argument over.

Transexuals wish to emulate a caricature of womanhood present within their own heads based on their perceived knowledge of women as an outside observer; which they wrongly consider to be aligned with reality. You essentially did the same thing.
You did not spend 24 hours trying to approach the world like a woman, you spent a day getting into the mindset of a tranny. You just have a very different conception of women.

>you spent a day getting into the mindset of a tranny.
Not true at all. Trannies have hobbies like dark souls decompilations, and extreme fetishes which is a masculine thing. Very few of them actually perceive the world like a proper woman does, which is why so few of them have bodies and faces that resemble women. If they actually did live the lifestyle that I described in my post, they would go on to look almost identical to biological women after enough time. It's because they have masculine spirits and personalities that they retain a masculine appearance.

I live in Anguish, I have no purpose, deep down. I know what I have to do but I have no thrive, I have no real will, maybe I've choosen the wrong path for my life but I either went a scientific area, like engineering, which I never felt related to, or I took arts and ended in poverty. I can only find confort in family or nature, I've quit drinking and smoking because of my family and I feel like I can only do things for others and never for me. Even with my selfish nature which I so much want to change, I can only change for something external. I've been wondering though, I've, you've, never experienced anything more than us. It's so scary. I live in anguish, or I'm very very dramatic. I'm young, I want to find my direction and not waste my life.

For some reason media is getting more self-referential over time and somewhat incestuous.

People feel aimless without community; being a hermit scholar is very difficult and not suitable for most. Btw, studying pure mathematics was extremely spiritually enriching. It's an endless puzzle of axioms and theorems, rooted in questionable epistemology, as everything else. Don't write the sciences (which math is not) off just because most of its students are soulless automatons. There's plenty of beauty and depth in it. At least the pure sciences, assuming you dedicate yourself to that study.

You don't have access to, and never will, to the interior experience of women. You have observed women, in fiction and in reality, and come to conclusions regarding their behaviour. Those conclusions are entirely your own, filtered through yourself and your experience of being a man.

For a time, I couldn't believe my parents were retarded, because then, that would have meant I was retarded too. This is, after all, how life works. It was such a difficult knot to untangle. To be a retard, or not be a retard.
This affair is now settled: they are retarded and I am retarded. I came to that conclusion early in the morning, after my mother called. She was in tears and babbling about me being a fag. Of course, she preferred to use the more neutral term 'homosexual'. It was a surreal experience and I had to calm her down first, to understand where that was coming from.

>'Why would anyone think (You) are a fag? ' you ask, curious.

Well, it turns out that retards can forget you are heterosexual even if you had long term girlfriends in the past. And if you are not having sex at least once a month, then you must be a fag. This is must be how the world works now. My father asked me the same thing not too long ago, ponctuated with a few threats here and there because having a faggot son would bring shame upon the family.

I am not even surprised, at this point. I mean I knew they were probably retarded, but still. Children develop objects permanence at around 7 months old. My parents are less intelligent than literal babies.

Just another log tossed on to my funeral pyre

There's never been a single force in my life that has actually pushed me in the right direction. Not my parents, not my friends, not the school system, not the government. 4chan actually came the closest, which is amazing. I don't hate other people but I'm always drained by their presence.

I feel you anon. All the best things in my life came from minmaxing each of the boards' culture and applying it to my life and it somehow got me further than the myriad of clashing voices of advice in my life.

(You) can push (you) bby but maybe read nietzsche or some buddhism you know?

push something from its current position and it can accomplish this by moving in any direction.

pull them from a specific endpoint and they will know which directions to move to reach their goal.

And an object which is never pushed nor pulled is never going to move.

and?

Pushes can come from within.

sure man ok, enjoy your intrinsic motivation then or go get it.

>>25118514
Intrinsic motivation is a myth, but you can learn to convert almost anything into fuel. Everyone talks about putting yourself into the right environment, but there's a limit with that shit.

Another dream that presented to me what I desire most: have a girl that desires me, have our legs touching each other in a public space, hold our hands and be close

Have you ever had a dream remind you of someone that you had forgotten? I had a dream once that invoked a blonde girl from high school I fell in love for like a week; not a person I talked to either, she was from another class, just a girl I kept seeing. it's kind of crazy how if felt when my subconscious just pulled this girl out of nowhere

A man walks into a zen pizzeria and says
>Can you make me one with everything?
The pizza maker responds
>It's all one already
The man hands over his money and waits for his change and his pizza. The pizza maker hands over the pizza, and the man asks
>Hey, where's my change?
And the pizza maker responds
>Change must come from within

That's what the immense military budget pays more: a level of superiority that the vast majority of citizens don't have to worry about any military global military actions if they don't want to.

Of course. Something that usually happens for me is if I imagine a certain girl while jacking off one night, 9/10 times one of my dreams that week will feature her, not even necessarily in a sexual way either

Pretty sure I just heard two gunshots and I do not live in a neighborhood were that ever happens. Suspect sirens to be soon.

The other night at my place I heard the following from downstairs:
>woman crying, not loudly but in a broken kind of way
>same woman sobbing and saying "please please please" desperately over and over
>door from neighbor's house opens, older lady comes out and says things that were too low to hear
>footsteps towards neighbor's house
>door shuts

Don't mean to rain on your parade, you just set it up too perfectly. Best of luck.

For me it was 4chan to a degree, some existential books and self-help books. My parents never really paid much attention to me - I'd debate it was the bare minimum; only to the point of paying for food, education and housing. Not that I'm ungrateful about that, but my personal development has had been something I'd done on my own accord.
You can make mock me for using self-help books but when your father ignores you 90% of time growing up, you don't really have a lot of options.

A lot of the time, it's because he never figured his own shit out.
That's how my dad was. Now he's a homeless fent addict. I'm sober at least but my life is basically haunted by some "curse" inherited from my father that I'm still trying to break.
