The notion that anyone should do anything more for money, is of itself harmful. Capitalism is generally not the problem: exchange is going to happen no matter what.

The issue is the morals of the inhabitants of this great country we live in. I can feel them deteriorate.
>>12885532 this doesn’t help.

I think we could do with some better morals. Something a little higher, a little loftier. I think that money shouldn’t force anyone to do anything. That there are some things that money could never buy and if it were attempted to make it so, it would ruin humanity.

I used to go to nightclubs, whorehouses and etc, and I was already reading Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Melville, Emily Dickinson, among others. I was also already writing almost daily.

One thing about pictures like that is that the place is usually dark, but the camera flash lights it all up, as if there were lightbulbs in the ceiling. It makes people seem even more ridiculous.

Depends on what you're trying to do and get out of it. 30 is an arbitrary number, every person develops differently. I'd say to try to match your maturity level to your age, which would be getting more developed in a lifelong goal or raising a family.

I find myself enjoying reading in coffeeshops and libraries, sometimes I do like to go out with friends and drink, but even then I generally like the more low-key get togethers. I can only take a wild night every once in a while.

I once spent 6-7 hours sitting in a library all day reading Kafka, I read all of his short fiction and The Trial in the same day. I still think back on that day in the small town brick library, sitting at an old oak table, rain drops pattering against the tall windows and the library bookshelves towering above me.

Contrary to masses' beliefs, your 20's aren't supposed to be the years where you have to party, have fun and live freely. They are a fucking important foundation for the rest of your life. The years where you can learn good habits, still pursue your passions and hobbies. Granted they are the years where you have to explore and try things out, hence the importance of decision making and action (what a lot of us here lack I suppose since everything related to the external world is basically our duality)

If you spend your 20's constantly wasting money on noose, pursuing no interests other than "hanging out" "weed" and the everlasting "traveling with friends" what are you going to do in your 30's?

Most people start "party" drinking because they think it's cool. They've acculturated a certain contemporary ideal. That is, the best things come by loosing control and discipline over yourself. Impressionable teenagers do not start it because they enjoy it, they do it to fit in.
In truth, there's nothing cool about alcohol or partying. Excessive alcohol consumption is terrible for your health. Regular consumption of most drugs and alcohol provably stunt your intellectual growth. The other aspects are the shallowest kinds of experiences, socially and otherwise.
And seriously, in terms of the passive drugs, how many stoners and LSD users do you think are legitimately out of the box thinkers? Most of them do nothing with their lives or their minds, except parrot bullshit drug slogan they read on the internet. The types of people who thrive after using drugs like that would've done so anyway. The actual effects of the drugs are counterproductive to the kind of people they want to be.
You do not have a lot of time in this planet. What you like doing is a reflection of who you are. You don't have to be famous or rich. But you can at least develop your conscious and rational and virtuous self.
The reason you feel like you missed it is because you're told it's cool. That'll make you a boring person. Focus on what's rational, and then what you want.

sweety-posting was originally a part of lefty meme-culture aimed at passive-agressively patronizing the person addressed as such. it was soon re-appropriated and used to lampshade posts that used this type of lingo.
in recent times sweaty has become popular as a counter-meme to this development. it is an attempt at negating the negation and returning to square one by creating an association between second-gen sweety-posters and the image of the sweaty neckbeard virgin.

There's a section in Plato's Republic in which someone complains to Socrates about getting older and expresses anxiety about losing out on the hedonistic pleasures associated with youth. He's sad that he won't be able to party like he once did. Socrates replies that if you never gave into those impulses in the first place you wouldn't find yourself longing for it. FOMO existed even in ancient times.

Socrates has a point that you won't have to worry about chasing some higher high and one day losing the youthful equipment to do so if you decline to indulge to begin with and instead invest your time pursuing more lasting goals.

At the same time injecting a bit chaos into the routines of life is occasionally what you need. Yet that supposes you don't make a habit of partying, otherwise you attempt to break up the staleness will itself become stale.

I realize that some people just hate thinking and want an escape, but for some who party too much, it becomes the they find they must flee. I also realize that partying is a sort of soft skill and if you're just a little too aspie it just won't be enjoyable.

No, she's trading (or sabotaging) long term success for short term gain. She knows she has a modicum of beauty and sexual desirability, and she's freely advertising it. A man will naturally view her as a bad companion, therefore closer to an object, because she's proved herself to be untrustworthy to maintain intimacy. Chastity in a mate proves that 1. you have a better chance of successful and sustained reproduction (the kids will be yours), and 2. you can trust the person intimately as a partner, for mutual psychological needs.
She's not strong, she's selling herself short. If she does find a decent longterm partner, he's getting ripped off, unless he's OK with it, then he's just a fool.

I'm hearing a lot of "partying is wasting your time when you could be productive" in this thread, but I don't see how becoming a functional member of society is any superior.

If you wanted to leave a permanent mark, I suppose it's your discretion to how. But we all leave a permanent mark on society. Most of the world moves through the small decisions of individuals. How you decide to live will affect you and the others around you, and that will impact the future generations, and the world at large in ways you can't truly understand.
The best way to positively change the world is to change yourself, and maybe you can change others around you, and then maybe, beyond that.

yep but we all have a hard-wired need to make a difference and be elon musk-like. very few can even hope to do that. most can be under the illusion of their own significance.

then wait till you come to the objective realization that having kids is the biggest impact you can ever have on this earth above even the elon musk sort of achievement. it's gambling as the unknown variable has value.

due to the butterfly effect and future impact. the mental gymnastics that your kids will statistically end up useless is outdone by the evolutionary implication, of having hundreds, thousands of descendents; ie their suffering is acceptable since we subconsciously know all of this is building to something and suffering is an acceptable collateral damage to its outcome.

I am sick and tired of this glorification of partying, drugs, and degeneracy that we have taken as the norm in our "progressive " society. My entire generation has become a slave to their senses and primitive impulses.

Most of the people in college campuses who demand free college spend their time shit faced or hungover pursuing a useless degree. I myself, live in a college dorm, and evidently see the filth and outright absolute lack of self-respect people have on themselves. We have abandoned most or all of our morals and values with a constant acting of 'PC'. We have no sense of respect towards anything. We can't take up on any responsibility on anything.


Don't come to me with this BS that we're "young" and this is the "best time of your life" to justify this Sodomic culture. One hundred years ago, people aged the same as the parkland kids came back from fighting World War Fucking 1. Less than 75 years ago, 20 year olds were killing REAL fucking nazis. For most of human history, being at your 20s was being at your mid-life and peak. This is the time of your life where you are supposed to define yourself as a person and plan your legacy.

I don't give a shit about your prince of darkness edgelord Nietzsche quotes or modernist ideas. They might impress people at coffee houses but, they're not actual useful ideas about life.

No. Partying is a colossal waste of time and dangerous. Your 20s are a tremendously important time. Your brain and character are still developing, AND you are at peak physical condition for your life. It is the absolute most important decade of a person's time on Earth. Your 20s, and to a degree your late teens and early 30s, are the time when you should be doing the most reading, the most self-reflection, and the most self-correction.

The hedonistic mantra of youthful excess is what destroys civilizations. It is the exact opposite of truth. A man in his 20s should struggle to be as diligent, as literate, as austere and as dignified as possible, because the pattern that you set in your 20s will ossify in your 30s. There are no do-overs. You cannot simply decide to become a new person when you're 38. You have to live with the decisions you made when you were 25.

So I absolutely and wholeheartedly and without reservation encourage people in that age group to read, to explore ideas and to travel. I do not encourage them to drink, to party, to carouse or do drugs. I do this because I am 40 now. I wasted my youth on excess and degeneracy and I have to live with it. Time only moves one way.

Make the best of your time is a banal truism precisely because it is so manifestly obvious, but somehow people continually fail to follow it.

Honestly I don't know. Back when I was a kid getting married at 20 was pretty normal, nobody does that these days. Financial instability and the cultural ennui that dominates the age makes it hard to find anything close to stability.

I'd say wait until you're in your 30s unless you've got your affairs very much in order. Never allow the desire for a woman to overwhelm your reason. It's honestly not what it's cracked up to be. Having a woman means you have to be around a woman most of the time. It gets tedious. It's worth it, but it does get tedious.

Depression is pretty fucking awful, but a lot of it is the result of substance abuse and ennui. Also, the failure of life to live up to the expectations that media and our culture has made it up to be.

The best thing for the human soul and to escape depression is to read, to meditate on what you read, and to enjoy a healthy life.

I worked with a young man who was smart, fit, and tough. Sharp as a whip, could crack walnuts with one hand. He started drinking socially, then alone, then all the time. A few years later, he had headaches that never went away. He drank more to make them stop, just temporarily. Threw himself off a building back in 2009.

Accept the truth that no amount of drugs and partying will make you truely happy. Accept the truth that finding friends by doing things you don’t enjoy will find you friends you won’t enjoy.

When your parents or whoever pay for college, they’re paying for an EXPERIENCE for you, that’s why it was so much more fun.

The question then arises: what is the meaning of that? If I can observe better social dynamics in places where money is abundant, why? Are the obligations of reality so insidious that it deterioratesour social ties without them? Is reality so aesthetic, so unbelievably morose, that we cannot go one second without being drawn back into some superficial ideal of what we’re ‘supposed’ to be?

Maybe that’s not a bad thing, but what if what we’re supposed to be is sick and twisted, like how it’s common parlance to view financial institutions as corrupt and usurious where once they were thought to help run the economy smoother.

Just some food for thought :3

I have no opinion here one way or the other but I'm young and I'm from a metropolitan, global city and I can tell you that actively seeking out festivals or raves or what not isn't exactly a universal. "Normalfags" who do this and have casual sex lives probably aren't in the majority of people from 18-25. In my (admittedly small) social circle, pretty much no one is a hedonist at all and all the more socialized, extroverted kids from high school ended up being bogged down by responsibilities at work or in post-secondary or have become increasingly focused on long-term, monogamous relationships and pursuing niche hobbies.

>>12890955
lol nope, all these "great men" of history vary wildly between themselves as much as they vary from the general population. I cannot imagine veritable spergs like Carl XI or Claudius or even Bonaparte being amused at a party. Some, like Alcibiades, Alexander or Cesare Borgia would have wanted nothing more than a never ending rave.
Ever since the division of labour and creation of social-strata, the only universal for human life has been different strokes for different folks.

>It's not being a 'complete slut' to tease men. The woman who understands her sexual worth and plays with it, plays with power over men, rides right up against the wall of total inhibition, the threat of sexual violence, and maintains, plays the room all hers, has men crowding, grovelling all around her, but keeps the rules her own and returns intact, that's a game of predatory strength.
While I'd agree that is the optimal egoistic behavior, I don't think that is what is happening in the image, I'm pretty sure this is raw hedonism, not some underlying strategic power play.
also, the majority of people are not sociopaths and do not tailor all of their actions toward some strategic end

Because while this post is edgy, it is that perfect level of edgy that lives within kinship to fellow human beings, but only those whom are worth association; this is only one world view, as 4chan is an in-group that is biased, somewhat pretentiously, towards those that do not understand the value of culture or share that same level of cultural knowledge.

Herein we find individuals with no understanding of, for example, Deleuze's value in eloquently synthesizing together ideas most never come to grasp in a lifetime of consciousness. I cannot gripe with this modality of discourse, but once we gripe with the selective understandings of those underneath us, what should we make of ourselves who know so little? Big fish eat little fish, but the human standing outside the pond does not participate, and should we not achieve this, rather than mucking around in the water and mud, for this is closer to truth, as it captures more of the epistemological ontology?

What more does this world have in store for me tomorrow, is the question I want answers for, more so than any opinions and dick measuring. How do I translate a love for all things into a love for a specific thing, and channel my appreciation of inquiry into the appreciation of inquiry into a single subject for sixty hours a week?

I went back through my university night club photo albums from 2009-2012, and there are pictures of girls with their asses hanging out, making out with random guys, flashing their tits etc. A lot of them are still tagged and it's interesting to see they're mostly settled down, so many marriage photos when you click through to their profiles

There's nothing transcendent to sex; more experience in sex and love can only harm you if you're too autistic to live with a person nor yours nor anyone's slave morality can hold back. Any love any of you could give a woman is deceitful and manipulative, assuming you feel any love at all.

I went to a wrestling thing the other day (as in fake wrestling) and a bunch of hip kids were there. I didn’t feel like a complete loser because some of the crowd looked like they could be juggalos but yeah I felt like shit anyway. Coming from a supreme lack of confidence and maybe a dose of self loathing.

The slut girl that was with a guy I was there with started grinding her ass on me at one point. I leaned in and would have my hand (in my jacket pocket) against her ass. Everyone was shoulder to shoulder. Then her boyfriend started noticing and another guy I was there with tapped my shoulder and shook his head. Idk what it was about but I assume to stop groping the girl, so I just stopped.
I realized 3 girls behind me had been watching this.
To my left was a guy and two girls. One he seemed to be with and the other seemed like her friend. The one he was with started doing the same thing. Grinding her ass on me. I have a Groucho Marx moment but lean in anyway. In the back of my mind I’m thinking “why can’t she be normal and not a weird slut and enjoy the night” while also feeling like I can’t back this confidence up enough to turn it into anything anyway.
The guy she is with notices immediately and gets in the way, moving her away. Then her friend literally does the same thing and he gets in between us so I just stop.

Meanwhile I feel like I’m obligated to feign entertainment to the wrestling thing. I end up just leaving early.

The light at the end of the tunnel is Scenes. I figure you can find a scene where you at least look the part, continue going to the same venue or couple of venues, and eventually meet good friends that way. Then from there, women.
