Capitalism.

You have to space out your rolls at least 2-3 months or risk this.

[Anonymous No.15833477]

you are not taking enough risks, therefore there is no reward in what you do.

This, bscly. I’ve only just now started doing the things I’m actually supposed to be doing (28 years old and recovering from prescription amphetamine abuse and alcoholism) and it’s actually pretty easy after you get past the mental barrier preventing you from getting started. The feeling of the successful productivity feels so much better than the feeling of avoidance and procrastination.

Because the world right now is a physical manifestation of the most monstrous, gray, dull and dark machinery you can imagine and its only getting worse

The world is a literal representation of the color gray

Look at the world through Google maps: it's fucking covered in greens and blues and yellows and browns, there's color everywhere. Get out there when you get the chance, it's still beautiful. "hurr modernity" applies to society, nature is still plentiful. Enjoy it while it lasts

I like this Rilke quote:
“If your daily life seems poor, do not blame it; blame yourself, tell yourself that you are not poet enough to call forth its riches; for to the creator there is no poverty and no poor indifferent place.”

I like this archetype. I too pathologically avoid everything listed there. If everyone was like that perhaps the world would be a better place

you have no hobbies or anything to live for. you've given up on pursuit of love , you aren't physically active, you don't eat well. or you're doing all of those and you're clinically depressed with a chemical imbalance in your brain.

2020 has been one hell of a year. A once-in-a-century type year. And we've got another half to go.

As the election gets closer there has to be at least one more crazy event. Either terror attack or mass shooting.

[Anonymous No.15836574]

The other part of this passage resounds even more strongly, because so much of the modern world feels like just such a psychical prison:

And even if you were in some prison the walls of which let none of the sounds of the world come to your senses-- would you not then still have your childhood, that precious, kingly possession, that treasure-house of memories? Turn your attention there. Try to bring up the sunken sensations of that far past; your personality will grow more firm, your solitude will widen and will become a dusky dwelling by which the noise of others passes far away.

Alienation due to capitalism is indeed so prevalent as to seem banal. I wonder if anyone has written a book about how this might in fact be the only way of engaging with anything anymore.

It took several years of seeing these sort of '20 something year old -er' memes and each one I said nope, not me, but finally one has hit and I'll say it. This is actually me.

How many posts have you guys made on 4chan. 10 a day is 3650 a year. 100 a day is 36500 a year. Multiply that by 5 years. I would post probably post 300 to 500 times a day if I had a 4chan pass and there wasn't any porn here. When there's NSFW images or anything even suggestive, I'll avoid it for days or weeks. Or if I'm a in a dark pit of despair I'll get distracted and masturbate. My biggest concern in life is stopping masturbation again. I'd stay on this site forever if the jannies did their jobs and banned anything that could remotely be construed as sexual.

Stop undermining my political ideology by posting midwit pop-philosophers.

[Anonymous No.15839901]

Because art and culture are dead.

Because transgressions have been outlawed by the hive mind of terrified semi adults who brood and fester on social media like a sentient fungus.

Because bland, pandering, play it safe sops to the weak minded and gpborderline hysterical wrecks who comprise the dominant force in consumer society have become the only acceptable form of expression in the mainstream today.

Eat this shit up and love it, you worthless proles.
