Schizophonia

it's nothing. For me, something embarrassing is like pooping on yourself.

What do you mean

This argument alone humiliates physicalism. 😸

There is only one round, so almost everyone votes for the two parties for the sake of a useful vote.

I'm planning to write a thread about this. Deleuze said that libido has two poles: a "schizoid-revolutionary" pole and a "paranoid" pole. A predominance of the paranoid pole will induce masochistic tendencies. These can be particularly twisted fetishes, but they can be more subtle, like interracial sex, less attractive women, more dominant women, etc. Either dominant but still "reduced" (because the woman is of non-ideal quality), or clearly dominated; in any case, feel a sense of "reduction". With a failure to fantasize about "ideal" women. Just like this.

Both

What triggers hornyness for you ?

Can you orgasm thinking about other girls and/or on paraphilias ?

@Princess Arabia @Natasha Tori Maru It was irony, you have unsatisfied urges lol

You're right sociology is stupid. We should employ death brigade who ride around in Oregon on Scooter with Uzi to kill on sight drugs consumers, way more simple. Btw i'm too stupid to do philosophy studies; it requires to succeed a perfect plan to have good degrees and made connections, i should rather buy a gun and do carjacking; way more rational too. That's why you want to put them in prison.

No it's very easy if you have a minimum of friends/social circle. There's an increase in places where it's legal, like recently Canada or some American states, but it's not much higher, and European countries with lax legislation (the Netherlands, Spain, etc.) have a similar consumption rate to countries with stricter legislation (like France). It's also difficult to make a comparison because you can't directly quantify the consumption of something illegal; you can only make estimates, which are often probably lower than the actual consumption. There are also those who take advantage of consumption to use it as a substitute for antidepressants or painkillers. Or even as a substitute for alcohol or cigarettes. Because once again even if it's illegal, unless you're very antisocial it's still very easy to find narcotics.

@ExploringReality @Leo Gura Individuality is forged by survival, which makes it the consequence of social relationships; That's why it's easier to quit smoking when you're rich and not very stressed (social relationships are so diverse, and there's the genetic factor, so there's no point in saying "I know a poor, stressed-out person who quit smoking") than when you're not; that's Marxist dialectical materialism. But if you're too narcissistic to accept both your privileges and your powerlessness, then you'll deny this social genetics of individualization and end up with a mediocre epistemiology with its at best idealistic, at worst strange and neurotic language elements ("the truth," "it's the devil," lol) and its uselessness. Because for me, a good epistemiology is one that serves a purpose; and there's no point in telling someone they're not doing what they should be doing "because they don't want to see the truth" or something like that. It's taking the other for a fool and it's useless, on an individual scale in a psychologist's office or on a collective scale in politics you can't do anything about that.

Sexy

Thanks. I am a nice guy 👺 Whatever makes you happy. A life purpose can be anything, even running a flower shop. Then it's up to you to find a frequency that appeals to you, and stick to it.

Be more present in the moment, with small, short-term goals. For example, "Today I'm going to submit some resumes," or "Today I'm going to read this book a bit," or "I'm going to get rid of my cell phone or headphones because they're distracting, and I know that if I keep them, I'll use them." "Today I'm going to flirt with the cashier." "I'm going to get rid of my computer (complicated, eheh) because social media is crushing my ego," etc. The human brain is designed to function in the short term, quietly ;Otherwise, you'll become mentally ill, develop attention problems, be unable to produce quality work and progress in general. It is tranquility, gentleness, the love of a job well done that brings, and paradoxically brings quickly, intelligence, productivity, and well-being.

Republican states like Texas are very wealthy and educated and have a high rate of fertility. Same for Africans, you can't just say "it's because they're poor blacks with an IQ of 80 so they have a lot of children” it's not even true, demographic redistribution is very unequal in Africa. It's easier to have children in some places in Africa because it's part of the culture, there are still strong family structures, because as these are still very agricultural countries food is cheap. Access to contraception is also less easy and they have less access to entertainment goods (which most of the time do not require a significant level of education and are mainly a means of escape).

France is the most redistributive country in Europe with Danemark. And it’s also the European country with the highest fertility rate. The second country with the highest fertility rate is Sweden, which is very redistributive too. Eastern and southern countries have the worst fertility rates, Great Britain and Central European countries are in the middle. So it gives me right; The fertility rate in European countries is even positively correlated with education, as long as the conditions of the social body are favorable.

Wealth corrupts because it owns you. Also, humans still have the same brains as in the paleolithic period, so most of the most pleasant things are simple things.

Yes lol, although of course a compatible girl is better than any ice cream.

It's just conditioning.

I had a huge crush in middle school. Then in high school, I wasn't really interested in girls, and afterward, I socially isolated myself and suffered from very severe insomnia for over three years, so I didn't fall in love or even met girls. Some girls actually gravitated toward me when I was still present in college, but I didn't care because of my health in particular but also because I felt nothing for them. Indeed i have no problem talking to girls and asking for their number, it's like talking to the postman. Probably if I were in love I would be softer, but that wasn't the point.

I see girls as giant ice creams of different flavors and/or sizes that I potentially want to enjoy. In this setting, there's no fear or "simping," because you don't "need" her; she imposes herself on you, just as the taste of strawberry ice cream imposes itself on you when you bite into it; you simply enjoy what's available. The more performative, directed by ego I am, the less it works.
