A raging hardon and a plethora of women to fuck with it.

that pic is so depressing

>>13666776
Seems ideal to me. Could probably do with a small table. Anything else is clutter

>>13666492
That room is unironically based af, fuck excess.

>>13666781
This, I love living minimalist like that. I went to a female friend's place recently and it was like a Pottery Barn had exploded inside her apartment.

evolution is straight up antiquarian nonsense. you fags are mentally stuck in 19th victorian england lmao

The fact that there is only a single couch that can seat one person facing a TV with a console shows how pathetic of a person probably lives in that apartment. This is not "minimalist", it's just sad.

>>13666810
I don’t want people visiting me.

>>13666810
No one is disagreeing that consolefags should be gassed, but replace the TV with a painting of a boat and add a lamp for reading and it's kino.

>>13666818
With that I can agree

any blackpill genetic determinist or neo darwinist work I can read? Pinker, Dawkins and most of the science community type figureheads seem to me like relics of new atheism, still humanists at heart, christians and advocates of the slave morality of the reigning order, their expressed behaviour is (of course!) liberal and individualist in a way that is almost begining to seem quaint. It was our old anti science and anti enlightenment friends in the christian fundamentalist community and the radical islamists who were being game theoretically rational in terms of their genetic legacy and the interest of the species as a whole, while the low birthrate secular west was already on its own path of self destruction about to drag the whole species into the abyss to a fanfarre of science, reason and humanity. But humanism has nothing to do with science, real science, which is nothing but the progressive unveiling of reality into pure abstraction.

I'm looking for something else entirely, which biologists have gone farther in dismantling humanist holy cows and encouraging the animal in their readers? People complain about science disenchanting life and technology being dehumanising, but what if it they don't go far enough? Most scientists chose to deceive themselves, when they should be the ones staring boldly into Nature's visage and reading the solemn auspices of necessity for the other apes. Could it be that humans are eusocial animals like bees, ants and bald mole rats, eusocial tendencies exacerbated by explosive behavioural development and electric extension of nervous system into a coherent composite organism that runs on apes and electronics like lichens run on algae and fungi and cyanobacteria ?

>minimalist meme
I mean at least do some shit with it and I'm not talking about a fucking live laugh love poster. This apartment looks fucked.

Sapolsky. He's seemingly liberal as fuck (has to, to keep his tenure), but drops ton of redpills in minutae detail.

>>13667149
Are you even human if you don't socialize?

>>13667149
i bet you wish you had someone to speak to but would never do it because your afraid of rejection mr sour grapes

I've seen this painting in real life. I stared at it for almost 10 minutes. So much to see in it. I would recommend going to look at it.

Not a biologist but John Gray's Strawdogs sounds relevant.

Hospitality to other men?

A bit more specific, but Good Reasons for Bad Feelings give a good overview as to the evolutionary basis of mental illnesses

If you are interested in schizophrenia and autism check out Crespi and Badcock.

If you've never read "The Lost World: by Crichton, It's a fast, easy read with some really nice passages about evolution, behavior, and extinction. Can't understand one without the others.
If you read it and understand those parts, it is a good book to get you started on the subject matter.

4chan is enough social interaction for me thanks. I'm happy being a hermit aside from the fact I'm horny 24/7.

>normies actually get mad that other people don't consume useless shit
Hahah I thought it was a joke

It is, because the television and gaming console should be replaced by a bookcase.

You will never actually do this.

>>13672960
Books for this feel? How can I become a hermit?

>>13672961
It isn't empty, but it does lack personality.

>>13672968
Maybe but who cares. Things should just be functional, that's enough.

>>13672965
In the pacific northwest a lot of the forest land has cell service, I already scoped out a place I could live year round. My life basically won’t change, just phoneposting and reading.

>>13672979
It's also not function over form.

>>13672966
Hatchet might interest you it’s kind of YA though

>>13672927
That would be honestly equally depressing

>>13672985
all i do is phone post and read and i don’t need to go out to the woods to do it. i literally get paid to do it lmao
