I'm not sure how we are meant to be and not sure if there even is an answer to that question, however visits to nature always feel pleasant. Each of our individual selves definitely would benefit from living in nature and living a natural lifestyle. May it be so, for all the people from this site at the very least

Society is not a charity. You can't change the system just by "gimme gimme pls" kind of attitude -
Yeah you're right, tbh most of the days I'm just running on an autopilot, and not exerting much intelectual or physical effort nor am I exposed to nature that much, only once per week since that's all I can afford time wise and money wise so far. I've also got some specific insecurities that are just gnawing me from the inside and making me feel like shit often, I've had them for so long and there seems to be nothing I can do against them, that I've just gotten used to them at this point and to that shitty feeling. But I agree that those feelings of peace are where the happiness is, given that conditions are right ofc. I'm gonna have to start exerting some effort

Going down the path of a veterinarian might not be a bad idea, especially if you really enjoy spending time with and taking care of pets or animals in general, you can only really find that put by direct experience. Might be a better idea to become a doctor if you got the stomach for it, as they are surely decently paid in any economy (in proportion to that particuliar economy ofc) and you might avoid getting picked for direct action in case things go south, you know what I'm saying

People keep using this model for literaly everything here, from dating and politics to psychology, in an almost autistic manner, and then claim you're being stupid if you refuse to join in their autism. It's like no, I'm just refusing to categorize everything the same way all the time, and mostly for the same constantly repeating range of topics

In nature, all species either grow or they slowly (or abruptly) die. Human species is no different. If you just let the economy and humanity stagnate, in reality we would all start to slowly suffocate and humanity would descend into idiocracy -

That's a hell of a thing to be listening to on a run lol very motivational

What's the point of doing all that "self improvement" if you're going to end up being alone anyway? Sounds like a cope to me. A bit of a delusion as well.

Not gonna lie, I don't know what tf I would do without these technologies, how I would entertain myself. Life is just too sad and bleak on it's own. Unless I'd somehow manage to be living in ideal conditions - meaning I wouldn't have to work cause I'd have fuck-you money, I'd be living very near beautifull nature with very little human toxicity and clean air - but also not far from civilization as well, a lot of opportunities for social life etc. etc. Let's say everything would be ideal for me like that. Then under these circumstances I think I would be able to drop various habits deemed generally negative. But since that shit aint happening, one must cope. As Plato once said "A measure of a man is how well he's able to cope" yeah, I'm pretty sure that was his quote

This philosophy might be true on some level but it's just not practically feasable to think this way. As much as I may always be among the first ones to notice and point of all the ways in which life sucks, or just anything sucks. However, this is sort of like admitting defeat in life because non existence would be better than existence, and makes any kind of motivation for self improvement very limited or essentially impossible, it is similiar to being a socialist in this way, except on a much larger scale. I don't think it is very probable that I will ever produce children, however I cannot seem to concede the idea of ever having one, or ever having a family, it is sort of like yielding to life and/or being anti-life, it is just not feasable to think this way for me. -

Let's not pretend like vegans are some edgy people capable of doing this. It'd be much more fun and drama inducing to watch vegan protester reactions of a meat eater eating a steak -

At the very least we can clearly see there's been some progress in robotics in terms of their mechanical design and movement, being able to perform tasks that require a bit more finesse than just lifting objects in a warehouse or being able to do basic acrobatic movements. Even if the A.I. part is masivelly overhyped, that's already something. Although maybe stuff like this has already been out there, idk I'm not following it. If you have a large house or you own multiple properties and want to have the properties you are not living in mantained, then robots such as these would certainly be a huge assets. For a smaller living spaces however, they'd become just another obstacle and a thing to take care of -

Kamikaze is a perfect way to describe his actions actually, similiar to fanatical Japanese pilots trying to delay Americans as much as possible, Navalny literaly sacrificed himself. He probably also viewed it as a sacrifice himself -

Is it benefitial to cope? I would say so, yes -
By what metric do you judge they are happy? Because some of them smile, grin and point at the camera as it was recording them? People from the 3d world slums with ghasthly conditions would do the same thing today, even the ones addicted to toluene lol

Yall just keep repeating these types of generalized advice. Yall not really bout that life yo. Real gangstas memorize Sun Tzu - The Art of War and respond only with quotes from that book -

Today I'm exploring living in this shit reality. That's my identity for today. Anyone with me in this bitch, yo? Where my ... ehm.. at? -
Valid part of feminism is women being empowered to able to make their own choices in life and live as they want to live. Which is, with the exception of the right to abortion, pretty much a status quo already. The rest of it I'd just ignore.

The best (or the worst, would be more accurate as the sensible person that I am) psychological horror imo has to be the Wannsee conference movie, really shook me to my core. Watch only if you are mentally resilient

It is just a socio-economic blackpill that most people in society individually do not provide very much of what society considers to be valuable to it at a particuliar time (such that they would be irreplacable), or are just not lucky enough, so whenever there is a crisis in capitalism - which is inevitable because no system is perfect and humans are neither - it is the majority that is most affected. Perhaps technological progress will change this, perhaps not. It is the job of a state to remedy this as much as possible, but the state can only do so much
