Schizophonia

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

Another GTA SA's fan

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.

@Jowblob Do you have siddhis ?

I could have structured this thread to make it seem less prescriptive or even trollish, depending on your point of view. I'm thinking of deleting the thread for this reason. But assuming others should have something they don't is what we do all the time; it's the principle of criticism. And not having children isn't abnormal; it's boringly banal. The Eiffel Tower is mediocre, only tourists are interested in it 👀 Yes.

@Leo Gura is kind, smart and has a decent sense of efforts/responsability. He could have a wife and children who truly love him, but instead, probably because he identifies with a father figure full of guilt who didn't dare spank him or something like that, he ends up with a forum of wankers because of the legacy of guilt he doesn't want to send us to hell; many of whom wouldn't be able to put down a few dozen euros a month to have access to his forum, his videos and him in general. Why would you waste energy on people who wouldn't even be able to pay a little to see you, it's a pure energy deficit if you think about it. People will tell me that no, there are not only wankers and that I am projecting (which is obviously true, ahah; mirror effect and all that) but it is fundamentally false because the more proactive you are, unconsciously giving yourself over to your desires, the less time you will have to post here; because a forum is a libidinally poor investment object. To get back to Leo, this "Serious guy who wears white shirts and talks about maturity/truth" archetype doesn't look like phallic software; it's software of submission to the father figure for fear of being punished. If he really became fundamentally phallic, if he killed his father, I'm sure he'd have a divine revelation like, "Holy shit, why am I bothering with this shitty forum, this shitty toastmaster, these shitty shirts, these shitty truth stories, torturing myself with these shitty psychedelic trips? Now I'm going to a tank top with a big gold chain, start a family, have lots of friends, party regularly, become rich, etc." Masculinity isn't scarcity software; masculinity is a state of opulence and warmth; it's the phallic position. A behavior is phallic when the answer is no to the question "Is this coming from some kind of moral dictator in my head ?" otherwise it is neurotic.

Yes you are right it is very stupid, I was just criticizing the fact of saying that he is ruthless/said "horrifying" things. I myself am very left-wing.

It's easier to have children when women don't work/and where your family can take care of them. Rich, redistributionist countries like France have a much higher fertility rate than traditional, poor countries, but without social policies to partially offset the atomization process (Eastern countries, South America, etc.). People with mental illnesses, or simply neurotics, are also less likely to have children or be sociable in general. But mental health is a social issue; engaging in social activities or seeing a psychologist is not without cost; the childhood traumas that lead to these mental illnesses are also social (alcoholic parents, reproduction of family patterns, etc.). So, there's no problem: people with a higher level of education will have more children, and the children of less educated parents will be more likely to have a significantly higher intellect if environmental conditions improve.

I should point out that I am not particularly pro-Israeli; I just have no interest in this conflict and this opinion was a one-off.

It's the same for what you call your life path, you can lose it and you will pay the bill.

Day 1 I lost a lot of time due to a prolonged period of almost 3 years of severe insomnia where i had between 1 to 4 sleepless nights per week. This insomnia was triggered by a combination of chronic stress, use of stimulants (especially coffee) and even testosterone/DHEA to see if it would improve my physical appearance (actually turned me into a psychopathic beef lol) and my sports performance. Insomnia literally destroys you, you lose your motivation to do any type of work, your verbal and mental fluency, your humor, your empathy and even your physical appearance; It's really horrible, i can look like a 7 out of 10 on days when I slept particularly well and if possible avoided masturbation and sleeping pills, but otherwise be mistaken for an old heroin addict. I wasted a lot of time doing nothing and now i don't have much money or a social circle, my life is kind of shit, but that said i can sleep again and the bad sleep cycle is mostly my fault which means i have the energy to be productive again. I need more money, i want a professional career and/or a hobby, why not a sports career eheh, i want a nice car, i want to express my creativity. Currently i feel like a person close to forty, i'm not a zombie but i clearly lack energy and libido, vitality in general, i can work, i think i can also more or less defend myself if i am physically attacked, i can do things in general but it's not optimal. To help me both recover from my insomniac period and actually exploit my full potential i decided to take inspiration from a French youtuber (Thomas Mayer-Chéret) and to (among other things obviously) start seminal retention, it is not my only source but it is my main inspiration, it is one of the only youtubers that i still watch because i find him funny and pleasant to listen to, nevermind. From a dual and rationalist point of view, seminal retention is supposed to allow the maximum accumulation of metabolic energy. On the one hand by removing the sedative "reward" caused by orgasm (prolactin spike) and then by allowing the accumulation of spermatozoa which it seems can be recycled by the body (hence the use of turmeric in certain spiritual practices, supposedly having the capacity to increase the destruction and recycling of spermatozoa for the benefit of the body (it is therefore not recommended to use too much turmeric if you want a child)). From a point of view beyond duality, we could precisely say that seminal retention is a bridge from duality to non-duality, from the finite to the infinite; Empirically, deprivation of masturbation gives you the energy to manifest your selfish desires, the first time i had to deprive myself of masturbation for a long time was in high school because of a frenulum plastic surgery (which was not enough lol, which meant that i had to do in fine a circumcision, nevermind), and i who was usually shy, even cowardly, thought for the first time to see a random girl in my class to tell her that i liked her (which was not entirely true, but for some reason i had targeted her😂 ). In this journal i will of course talk about seminal retention (i hope not to relapse obviously, but that should not happen), but also other subjects that are close to my heart, i spend a lot of time ruminating on many subjects without ever having the courage to put all that into form, this will be the opportunity. This journal is also and above all a way to finally get involved. I will stop there for this first post, i have to keep some substance for the others eheh; The goal will be to make one post per day.
