/lit/ - Literature

Work with children, even if it means volunteering, and read Dosto.

>Work with children
As long as they are middle class and haven't hit puberty, I'd concur with this.

Children post 11 are wastemen

Fucking help guys please.

That’s how most humans have and always will live, you’re not missing out on some amazing adventure, we’re all in that same boat.

Watch the last episode of NGE again and listen to Rei saying you can still be happy even if it’s rainjng.

>>12431911
Checked again, my dude

>>12431800
I started with The Brothers Karamazov because it was memed so hard here. It lives up to the memeing for sure. I then read Notes from Underground and now I'm onto Crime and Punishment. TBK is supposedly his best work, but others might say C&P is.

>>12431972
Fuck man, except for the woman I’m in the same boat. I’m even talking to a Marine recruiter to see if I can get away from this shit. My greatest fear is becoming like Ryuji except that I can’t see myself falling for a woman since I can’t really stand female company for more than 10 minutes.

>>12431972
If your main problem is being indecisive then force yourself to decide. Flip coins and burn bridges if needed. Existential angst is an inseparable aspect of being, you can't get rid of that

I volunteer coach high school wrestling and the kids are great and I hate middle schoolers but once they get to youth wrestling they get tolerable again. Just adorable balls of every and potential.
Kids are unironically our future.

Some vague statements don't make up a whole of someones personality. People act differently depending on a ton of different variables.

Read Nietzsche, not even memeing.

>>12431972

why cant you and your wife go on adventures, your mindset is limiting you.

>>12434448

oh fuck off retard

>>12432401
>adorable balls
To any anon who thinks that you can actually want to work with children without being a pedo, regard this Freudian slip.

>>12431972
>21
Make a giant left turn. If you have no kids, you have no obligation whatsoever. Up and move somewhere. At 21 you can fuck up and still recover, feeling the same way at 31 on the other hand is much more stressful although not impossible (quit my job and exhausted al of my money moving to Spain for the summer, no regrets)

The golden rule is, if it won’t maim you or addict you, do it. Also given the amount of neetbucks you invested, finish school, you’re trained to imagine all of your classmates actually know what they’re doing, which they don’t. They’re guessing too. The difference is, when they take a guess, even if wrong they turn something in.

>>12434857
You are corrupted. I'm sorry for you anon.

>>12430874
unironically

>>12435011
Are you fucking retarded or something

>>12435571
Maybe you are shit

Last week I decided to uninstall all my games and steam off my computer and add a firefox pluggin that block /v/ and reddit, two websites on wich I could spend hours and hours scrolling mindlessly ... also I added some programm that shut automatically my computer after 10pm for getting to sleep earlier and to force myself to spend time to read the 50cm tall pile of book on my nightstand.
Is it the right path /lit/ ? I still think a lot about videogames I spent to much time playing those during the past 10 years now I think I just want to do more with my life without knowing much ...

>>12435786
Yes. But don't over do it or you'll crash and then it will be easier to go back to the bad habits once you do the first time. Concentrate on fixing one or two thing at a time, that way it'll take longer but you'll be now successful later.

>>12430874
>/pol/ for smart people

You shitlords have to go back

Go watch ContraPoints or something smfh

>>12430874
>>12435163
Fuck why is that retarded image so accurate. Everything apples to me except the part about friends and the part about popular stuff. My personality is literally no deeper than that mem pic.

Any book to deal with the feeling of being a living 4chan meme ? Any book to become more than a meme ?

>>12434448
If you’re gonna trio you gotta post more insightful bullshit than this

>>12435999
what a waste of digits lmao

>>>/r9k/ is that way, fashy

>>12430964
Most of the people of 4chan are children post 11.

>>12436020
I asked for help overcoming the meme and you direct me to the place where people make mental disorders out of meme.

Not only did you not provide any book and threw an unsubstantiated accusation of fascism at me, you failed to make fun of me for the obvious typo in my previous post, which is standard 4chan etiquette.

I'm seriously disappointed in you Butters. I've been kind with you for years. And you used to be much more genial and compassionate than this. What happened ?

>>12431384
Inherent Vice is the only Pynchon work ever adapted.

>>12435999
>Fuck why is that retarded image so accurate
Because it's extremely vague and any retard on 4chan could relate to it.

>>12436048
not your blog lmao

>>12436048
>unsubstantiated

did you fucking read the OP lmao

racism wow very cool nice

Quit being an asshole

>>12436048
Wasn't me. Bunch of impersonators acting like idiots lately, trying to drive me away...
You know what I always recommend

>>12436048
the fact that you didn't even notice the fascism is very troubling anon

>>12430874
The only books I've ever read that espouse positivity in any way were written by people from the past who I can't identify with.
>Some psychologist who grew up in a wealthy and happy family home and was able to receive a well-rounded education
>Some fucking spiritual sage who was given the opportunity to sit and meditate in a traditional monastery his whole life
>Some blissfully unaware boomer logician
As far as I know, there are no positive books that can even begin to tackle the information age from the viewpoint of someone who's grown up in a low-income """working class""" community. Nothing that I can think of takes our dependence on technology and social media into account. The whole simple family life rhetoric has no practical application within the modern paradigm.

>>12436092
fuck off bigot

stop stealing my lesbian platform

>>12431972
you have a waifu and you still complain, your mindset is clearly the problem.
Meditate an hour a day for two months and see how you feel.

Watch Scent of a Woman every single day at least twice.

>>12435163
Fucking hell. I always wondered which type of faggot I was. Thanks a bunch.

Read the Russians and convert to Orthodoxy.

>>12436339

>>12436059
There are a lot of pretty specific stuff, like the bit about meditation.I guess what you mean is that all those characterizations apply to dozen of millions people in the West, most of them white males in their twenties, which happen to be the core demographic of this place. Fair enough.

>>12436060
>>12436084
I'm not racist unfortunately. And this place is as much a collective anonymous blog as anything else, like it or not.

>>12436092
You're right, I should have noticed it was really off-character for you. I guess I should really get to Stirner and Epicurus after all, it's not like they're exclusively memebooks.

>>12436095
I'm more of a primitivist theocratian.

The Idiot -> C&P -> TBK is the only correct way

>>12430874
the bloomer is just another temporary escape route. instead of typifying yourself as someone else's notion of positivity and worldly accomplishment, you should really learn to forgive yourself. just be understanding of your circumstances, which will help in re-discovering who you were originally, before you were wrongly introduced to cynicism and over-self-awareness. The bloomer will not lead you toward the necessary re-discovery and re-foundation, but the bloomer is just a rehash of who you originally were. it's just a different, thicker coat of paint, that will eventually be weathered away.

>>12430972
Good post. Tillich in particular deserves a much wider audience outside of divinity schools. You do need basic philosophical training to understand him properly though.

>>12436031
Are you trying to challenge or support anon's point?

>>12436031
Like if any of us posting here would be a 10 year old kid haha

>>12435093
Are you?

>>12436417
Why?

>>12430874
i love how happy the bloomer looks

>>12435786
on the same boat. literally spend like 14 hours a day watching YouTube vdeos or playing videogames and the other 10 hours sleeping and have like 20 books i bought but never read. i dont even enjoy those activities all that much anymore yikes

>>12435163
what the fuck man. Fuck you.

>>12435908
Alright you sure must be right, thanks for the advice anon.
>>12436543
I hope it's easier for you now and that you read those books.

>>12430874
you'll have to be smart but depressed but then drop acid once and have some sort of epiphany, understanding the beautiful meaninglessness of life and thus becoming a bloomer

maybe read siddhartha, too lol

>>12431972
run, rabbit.

Did the same 3 months ago, you don't need silly games anon. I turn off all screens by 9pm most week days. It's great.
