How to be a hypocrite?

[ryoko]

Misanthropy, Anti-Natalism, Efilism, Extinctionism

I've come across these philosophises recently, they stand for different things, while all have a deep problems with human society.

Anti Natalism is against bringing children into the world, a world of humans as we currently have.

All of these philosophises are anti-life in many regards. 

Although I'm not an ideology person, I'm ideeply misanthropic. I mostly dislike everything about humanity. I don't care about participating in human society or improving it. 

Life Purpose makes no sense to me. Mastery does, but I am deeply content with nothing. I find society to be an obstacle to my simply being. 

At the same time, I'm competitive, and care about achievements which are deeply personal. 

My question is, how are people so efficiently unaware of what's around. I understand Cognitive Polyphasia but I'm badly wired for that. It have it's advantages. But also makes being a hypocrite harder. I don't mean hypocrite in a moralising way. It is what it is. So my question is, how to be a hypocrite efficiently. 

 

P.S - I know this is human complexity and we call this process integration and not "becoming a hypocrite". I just happen to like the phrase.

I can relate to the tension. I once left society completely, but came back on a whim. Being here is a lot of suffering, and I'm personally just afraid of giving up my comforts again.
This makes me wonder about you: if you are truly content with nothing, why can't you be a mountain yogi or forest monk? It sounds a bit like you want to eat your cake and have it too.

My domain of mastery require bleeding edge tech and a very stable infrastructure. I'm 23 at the moment. 

Also, I can't stand the dogma around forest monk lifestyle. I find it is more of an escapism.

You've dismissed the forest monk path as dogmatic escapism, but what about the other option. A true yogi's path, as I know from direct experience, has very little to do with dogma. It's a practical science of the mind, a direct investigation into the nature of the self and contentment you claim to have.

So, the real choice isn't between society and dogma. The real choice is between:

Your current path: Total dependency on the most complex systems of the society you disdain, all to serve a personal, competitive drive for mastery.

A path like the yogi's: Radical independence and a direct inquiry into the contentment with nothing you speak of.

You've chosen the first but framed it as a philosophical stance. You call the second escapism, but isn't immersing yourself in a virtual world of bleeding edge tech just another, more complex form of escape? At least the yogi is escaping into reality.

And as always, I think, why not do a bit of both, see where it leads? The need to choose one pure, absolute identity might be the very thing that's causing the suffering.

@Bjorn K Holmstrom I appreciate your input on monkhood, I had really considered this path for sometime. But there's more to the story. 

I love materialism. I'm a carnivore through and through. I love monkhood just the same. I do see and feel the cost of everything. In order to function "efficiently", you need unawareness, and almost instinct driven way of life. 

Dogma; why do you think monks are "expected" to follow certain codex, shave their heads, and most importantly stay out of certain things. In a way they are forced to. Because they live without money or any form of material agency. Monks serve a purpose in societies which tolerate them. Think about aghori going to Vegas, are the flights gonna welcome him just because he's aghori? If anything he'll be shooed away on sight even in normal cities. Do not underestimate human stupidity. 

Of course there are different types of monks. Why do you wanna limit to forest monks of all things. Heard about Warrior Monks? 

My blend would look like nerd/animist/monk/++

I'll tell you something. Monkhood's positioning is a scam. The way you've framed it is just showing carrot to the donkey.

I'm fascinated by how normal people function. It's easy to dismiss it as unaware way of life. But there's more to it.

It's very easy to be a hypocrite, it comes naturally as you have desires and survival needs. Like if I want to go out and socialize, be loud, make noise, but then when somebody else does it when I want to have quiet, I judge them. 

Basic survival bias, you do it just as much.

I can tell you one thing, I for sure do not judge you.
For a while I leaned over to loving truth over materialism, and it gradually stripped me of everything. It was very beautiful, and for as long as it lasted I was the happiest I've ever been. Scam? Not sure... But now I'm more aware how we construct and overlay dualities (materialism/immaterial), (normal/"enlightened/self-realized"), and I'm acutely aware of this while relying on my normal self to get by.
