God does not exist
I say this not in jeer but in defeat
God is perfect, as described by many if not all religious beliefs, yet to exist is to be imperfect. Existence is a fault in all thing that we know. There is no perfect car, no perfect computer, no perfect book, no perfect child, no perfect human. If it resides in the realm of reality it is not with error. Yet there is a beauty in imperfection, so this is not a problem. The problem is that the concept of god conflicts with the experience of life.

Its good. If we censored things like porn we might not be in the mess we are today

I feel like my life over the past couple weeks has been pretty hazy and boring, /lit/.

I feel like I've been led down a spiral of consuming neverending entertaining yet substanceless consumption on Youtube. I've been doing that already for years now, but I've been aware that it's not a good use of my time, and I've been on a little bit of an increased binge lately. As I've been learning to code, I'm getting to a point where I can sit down and work on practice projects by myself, and this spiral was caused by looking for something to listen to/half-watch while coding. This has actually led me to be less productive than usual, and I've spent most of my time droning through Youtube and the like. I'm a bit of a workaholic and come bedtime I always feel guilty if I wasn't at 100% productivity throughout my day, so as you can imagine this binging has made me guilty to a point where it really sucks and I want to do anything to mitigate it. Plus, I have been doing a lot less introspection and existential """""thinking""""" because of this binge, and that has really driven me crazy too.

Now I've never just consumed normie shit, I'm a really big fan of arthouse cinema (I like to write crappy screenplays too) and I like reading all of the /lit/ meme authors like Jung and shit, but I've increasingly been cutting that out in order to try and be more productive. It's obvious now that I should not have done that so that the crap wouldn't take over, but the reason that the crap took over was because it was really accessible and easier to take in while "working". You can't really code while watching a movie or reading a book.

So I guess I have two question for you guys. One, what do you listen to while doing work? I have found a couple good podcasts but not enough to stave off boredom, and I am too poor for a subscription to Audible or some shit like that. I know there's Livrevox but I don't really know where to start there and they don't have a whole lot of stuf that I'm interested in. Two, if you have managed to get yourself off of the internet """""content""""" dripfeed, how did you do it?

This is semi-unrelated to this board, but I think it's a feeling that many here can relate to.
