I would buy a large plot of land in the mountains and build a bunch of cabins on it. I’d live in the largest one and rent out the rest of them as summer family vacation rentals. Pine trees, dirt roads, campfires, and cozy winters.

Life has no meaning. If you make it you are free to decide what it is. We all will die someday. Is it better to spend your life doing what someone says 5 days a week to get by, or is it better to do what you want to do on your own terms? That's what making it is all about. This world is finite, you are finite, enjoy it.

Dunno even if i became a millionaire i wouldn't outright quit my shit job. Then realistically id just be stuck at home doing nothing all day with no social interactions. Sure you can say im free i can do whatever i want now but really you'll just end up doing what you do now for the most part. I did the neet life for 2 years its not healthy. Ive traveled by myself a bit kinda cool but wasnt really a fan. All hobbies i can think of will probably get old quick or feel like im wasting my time, i cant watch tv shows, anime or play vidya anymore its not fun for me feels like lonely work. Id rather attempt to start a business or get good at a trade or something to make it, think that might feel like more of an accomplishment idk tho. Im not sure what more you can do with money other than spend it on the people you care about the other options will just leave you unsatisfied in the end.
A wife, kids and some land near the country might be cool though. And making it would make that easier.

The neurochemical makeup that longs for meaning is very clearly, not satisfied with “making your own meaning.” Making your own meaning would be a perfectly fine idea. If it WORKED. Have you ever met somebody who “made their own meaning” and it actually worked? The reality of the situation is the way the human mind works, and the meaning it craves, cannot ever feel “meaning” from a self imposed desire. It doesn’t work. Biology didn’t need to code that in. In fact, it’d have just gotten in the way from reproduction.

It’s worthless advice given by people who have never succeeded at making their own meaning. And that’s because our mind would never allow it to happen. You will spend the rest of your life going crazy trying to figure out how to make your own meaning to cope with the meaninglessness of life. When you could just spend 6 months dealing with the emotion impact of such a truth, and go the rest of your life without running this wannabe rat race of copium.

I get the people in here are already depressed and 99% black pilled and all that. And it’s not fun to discuss that last 1%. But it needs to be mentioned. Making your own meaning is a total fucking waste of advice. Because any attempt at it will fail. This is the full black pill.

I agree. It’s a bullshit reward substitution process implanted in us by biology. If you follow the master and have kids he rewards you with meaning. Even though your well-being is being sacrificed for your children and your wife, “it’s meaningful” so you do it. The problem comes with men who have given up on their biological desires, or theirs are constantly suppressed (through low-T or constantly cooming so they’re never horny or allowing it to build up). These people will start pondering the meaning of life outside of biological reward substitution. And you will always find the same answers. Life has no meaning. We are here to serve our master nicknamed “biology”, then we are discarded at a young age because it doesn’t need us anymore for the species to stay alive.

The reality is there is no meaning, only well-being. The best you can do in this life is sleep well, take care of your body and work out, cater to your mental with whatever keeps it busy, coom when the malware comes back, eat well, etc. the worst you can do is look for this reward substitution process called “meaning” all the time. Which is really code for “how can I work really hard to benefit something that isn’t my well-being and reap an abstract reward.” Fuck all of that. Focus on well-being not meaning. Meaning is a scam clear as day (Although I crave it like a bitch as much as any of you because I am a product of nature as well).

Industrial jobs work for me.
Even if I had all the money, I'd get fucking bored fucking around all day.
Hate working in restaurants and bartending.
School is okay but I could never picture myself building a career in academia.
Something about working in a shipping warehouse or in some kind of production satisfies you in a way most things don't. It requires discipline and teamwork. There's also a level of danger there: fucking around could get you crushed.
I'm a decent musician and artist, but I don't think I'd be too happy shitting out content for sheckels.
That being said, graphic design and the garment industry can be quite lucrative and require very little overhead.
Eventually I'll start a business.

which is fine, but stop being this fucking smug about choosing to not do anything, we all know everyone dies retard, youre not enlightened
you can still find purpose and happiness in face of the nihilistic nature of the universe
but doing that - will always come with a certain amount of suffering

have you ever considered that MAYBE! just maybe! you're not a gigabrained cosmic superintelligent enlightened prodigy but in fact - a scared boy, paralysed to the core by - and ill give it to you - too much knowledge that found some solace in withering away, cause its simply easier, than struggling even if the latter would make you truly at peace and happy, even if in the end - in vain?

It's the only real meaning there is. Anyone that has not struggled with OP's has not made it. It's clear you haven't either. It is a very real question where the only answer is getting to decide how you approach your ownesnong and existence. That's it. Nothing rational beyond that.

I could spin it the same way back on the red pilled people and say you guys refuse to accept the harsh truths that the game of life is rigged and that biology doesn’t care about you. You are literally discarded after 80 years. You red pilled guys spend your whole lives trying to “win” and “improve” in a life that you can’t win. Not to mention how rigged it is in terms of genetics and natural ability.

I honestly respect the red pilled people a lot. I consider them my brethren. I just refuse to believe that trying hard in this life is worth it. This shit is a total meme. And let’s be honest. If it was truly worth it then the entirety of every red pilled argument toward a black pilled individual wouldn’t be some variation of a shaming tactic.

"Making it" for most of /biz/ is like 1 million dollars. That's not actually 'making it' because 1 million, assuming it moves with inflation, is only 3 million in 40 years. That's about the same a boomer couple that prepared for retirement from the 1980s to present might have. That's not making it, that's just having a license to be a NEET.

If I suddenly got handed a million bucks I'd work on turning it into 10 million and 10 million into 100 million. Once you get rolling the job is never finished and once you're rich other rich people will try to fuck you, so you gotta fuck them back. It's like how Rome was a little town, then a region, then a boot and then the entire seashore around the medzone.
