The difference between lust and love is that lust subsides after sex, but love continues. That is to say, sex in the context of love is just the affirmation of that love.

I feel like everyone is against me. They are tools being used by some unseen force to destroy me. I've been humiliated and bullied to the point of a mental breakdown.It's seems no matter what I do,even when I do nothing and not get in anybody's way,I'm still under attack. I fight with it through narcissism buyt sometimes it's not enough to counter all the hate and disgrace I've faced and that I will face. It seems the only people that are kind to me are my parents,I am entirely alone,but still I'm never lonely. I read tons of books and spend hours on 4chan (rarely talk to a one old drunk who spats words of wisdom at me,i like the fella),and I live by. My sense of humor and the fact that I can rely upon my Father,is what makes my happy. I'm happy tho I'm also extremely paranoid and introvertic.

The western ethic of each life being important is perverted. In the past, crippled babies would be straight up killed or would die very early. Today having a kid is a gamble, cause if it turns out crippled you just fucked up the rest of your life, you're gonna be spending each day taking care of an eternal veggie.. I guess maybe you can leave the kid at some place that takes care of unwanted kids as a simulacrum of killing them?
Like what if you are living the simple life in a village? In the natural course of things, a crippled kid dies very soon.. and it's not like you want it to die, you cry over it with your s.o., but you can get persecuted for neglecting the care. Maybe it is technically neglect, but the cripple needed far more care than a normal kid, it's just the natural cause of things.
But we just have to be scared of death in any of its forms, don't we?
Similar thing with covid. >Nooooo, we can't have a bunch of unhealthy geronts die because the healthcare system can't take care for all of them. So we are going to forbid young children seeing other young children and learning to form normal social bonds. Has anyone even thought of how much it fucks with an 8 year old to be stuck at home for a year? Like for adults, a year is nothing, it's bearable, but an 8 year old? A whole year is like eternity for them. Who knows what long lasting damage that does to them mentally. But boy, I'm glad we keep all the old boomers around.
Well, it actually was an overstatement that adults are OK with a year of isolation, cause suicide rates increased. Even several people I've known, people my age sudokued in the lockdown period, would that have happened if they were let outside?
Fuck these "Christian" ethics. This isn't even a natural conclusion from the Bible, it's just faggotry.

In a friend's sister wedding. I am not drinking for various reasons. Don't know anyone, can't talk to anyone, hiding away in the rooms rn. What the fuck should I be doing? Sit and nod and be dragged around with the friend and pretend to enjoy dancing while sober? Wait till everyone gets tired and I can have a normal chat? I'm just slowly getting angry at myself and the situation. I don't understand what's the way out of this loop. Probably laughing, telling everybody I had a long day, and retreat to sleep. but I'm not that mature yet, just getting there slowly, so I snuck away.

No. I talk to people. I make specific efforts to get out of my head and talk to them. I try to find hooks in conversations, I try lengthening talks. I try, I try, I try. Still, if it's not a situation where I know everyone it turns out like this. I am too self conscious, and jumping on the floor for the third time in my life won't change the fact I don't like jumping on a dance floor. There is either a problem with me or a problem with them, and today it will not fix itself.
I do not want to cross the barrier in order to make conversation. I have done that a thousand times. No one ever does it for me. I am tired of putting in 10x the effort because I started from behind. I am tired of analyzing and underanalyzing every situation, fine tuning myself, 'just having fun', meditating, and improving myself.
I am tired of being the one in the wrong. Let society get out of its own head.

The more I interact with society the more angry I get. Recently my fondest wish, after finding a good woman (don't >have sex me, not a virgin) is making masks out of clay and smashing them with a 5kg hammer. Specifically a 5kg hammer because I used one in the tanks.
I am angry. Society is not what I thought it was. It's a wide lake with nothing in it, and my retarded chimpanzee brain keeps wanting to take a dive. People actually don't want to talk! They talk, check phone, spin another web, and check it again! I can do that with close friends, but Halas! Where's the meat and potatoes of the conversation? Where's the good stuff? Is it just >smoke >laugh >smoke >recline >scratch balls, forever???
I am actually interested in my major, and I haven't found another one, yet. I actually put in extra work because I enjoy it, and where are all the others? Either they are geeks with 0 interest beyond their specific zone, or they are as shallow as a mirror. I say mirror, because they just agree with me or say "everyone got their opinion, y'know" when I try to poke them for an ACTUAL FUCKING OPINION ON THINGS. try asking someone WHY they like a thing and you get back a wall. And I don't care if I get back a "that's my base emotional response", but they say "that's just how I am" and externalize it. What the fuck?
Have you watched pop sci videos? Have you watched them? Just fucking kill me. I thought they were a globally recognized joke. Now I realize people think that the videos are clever and base their personality around them. And I don't care if it makes me sound like a prick, those vids are intellectually dishonest and use the pretense of complicated subjects to appear clever. They are a lie, pasted on a 12 minute video.

The pithy "don't meet your heroes" should rather be stated as "don't impute your ego onto others." The act of idolizing a person, in many cases, can be seen as the act of finding solace and validation in the belief that there are others far better off than you, but, in essence, the same as you. The angst-ridden teenager finds great comfort in knowing that many successful artists and leaders followed their same trajectory and made it to success and safety. Meeting your heroes is painfully learning that your trajectory and theirs were never aligned at all. Serious, solemn, taciturn, and angst-ridden artists turn out to be quite comfortable in their own skin. So do many apparently-damaged military commanders. What did Tarkovsky, Tanizaki, David Foster Wallace, and Mikhail Tolstykh have in common? Apart from having erroneous labels of "tortured genius" and "grave stoic" easily affixed to them, they loved to dance. (Or, at the very least, were self-assured enough to do so without blushing.) (Ian Curtis and Thom Yorke, two figures probably held in much higher esteem by angst-ridden teenagers, also danced (Yorke most notably in the music video for Lotus Flower, and Curtis perhaps due to epilepsy, but probably not), but, being musicians, this isn't too surprising. What may be more surprising is the fact that Nietzsche danced; but he, too, was a musician and composer (an also surprising fact, I think).) We can say, then, that if you are angst-ridden to the point of needing to impute your ego onto heroes, do so with the proper ones. I've yet to read Pessoa's biography, but I'd say it's safer for a depressed person to align with them, rather than a dancing Nietzsche (this, of course, means aligning with someone who died in obscurity -- probably just a circuitous way to get to the same pain you'd feel meeting your misidentified hero).

I wonder if the author of the fairy tale The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats was familiar with the story of Kronos swallowing the stone. If not, then I wonder where the archetype (or underlying idea or whatever it can be called) of child-eating-monster-accidentally-eating-stone comes from. I also wonder what it could mean. Perhaps it means that those who devour innocence become so corrupt that they eat themselves to death. Actually, now that I think about it, how does the wolf in the fairy tale come to his end? He falls into a brook, sinks, and drowns. Perhaps this story, then, takes inspiration from the Bible (Luke 17:2 or Matthew 18:6). How did Jeffery Epstein come to his end? A cord was hung around his neck, and he was thrown into the depths of Hell. Was Kronos not also thrown into Hell (Tartarus) for something similar?

Dreamed that I was watching a woman holding a cluster of 3 dried fruits and trying to explain to a man riding war chariot through the hallway of a building that he has committed a transgression of some kind and has to submit to a tripartite process, the argument quickly interrupted by a thunderous noise, the crack of a giant whip, coming from outside. They both stopped and woman whispered "who is THAT strong?". I thought it was second coming. I walked outside, the noise steadily continuing, through alleys and yards covered in silt, rusty junk everywhere, to a deserted valley full of clean steets and massive buildings. The sky full of clouds that looked as if they were rising from the buildings, still connected to the tallest spires, and the clear patches revealed distant desaturated hues of blue and orange.

It had been a long time since John Anwel has entertained any guests. Cobwebs were natural but the dust and the filth - and the shame, dirtiest of them all, all of them pressed on him but none more than the solitude! Filthy and smelly solitude! Going about people, purchasing things, giving your smile, and in all of the huff in the chest and the sweat of the brow, your silence deafening, your stench unbearable, and we have found you! Terrible, wretched, destitute, and solitary person! We have smelled you!
Worse, John could have been something! Certainly nothing great. No man-of-history, let me tell you. But something more, and certainly more than a solitary person! No, all of it wasted away, eating at him numbly, and although nobody there to speak to - he is aware of it, of this we can be certain. How many afternoons and nights had he paced above his despicable garage (despicable and empty!) having the depth of his feeling beneath his breast, the profundity of his appreciation, the humanity of his inebriation, and wishing to share his overladen vestments to stem a bleeding heart? To write poetry and to celebrate friends; and yet in the shadows above the garage an old man lay in a sad cotton cot.
Joyous were his mornings and how thankful he was for the window! He wanted to share his gifts, to stretch forth his arms and embrace his children in health! A toast to the sentiment!
John was a self conscious man. A young lady he had worked up a passion for had told him, "I couldn't think of marrying someone so childish!", and he had spent the decade following meticulously seeing to all of the affairs of the properly "adult" life. He sought after new work he never thought to, and even managed a sales position, and altogether it had felt like positive change had come about - and it had, and his new competences financially and maritally were unparalleled in the men of his competition. He had checked in on his lost love occasionally, until finding her married, he stopped. He reproached himself terribly for how pathetic he had acted and the depth of the power he afforded her, and in the next moment waxed soft and was tired but still very much in love.
A decade of work was far too much to ask, even troublesome and bratty, and how beautiful she had been, but no matter to him in the end - really, she was married.

It was a bright and warm summer and my heart brimmed with scorn, and the birds and their songs, and bugs, all a chore;
When on came evening, and above my eye, Heaven it's crown, a spirit of Light!
"A pitiful shame!", I said with a frown, and dashed at the Spirit; it fell to the ground.

"and a pitiful sight!", I said in the fight, my Seraphim slain,
and off in the night, my stride was gay, my foe in twain.

"Pontificate me this, O fool, who sits at the stool across from mine,
what if it was you, who wrestled this Seraphim of some kind?"

The man gave a giggle and grunt from his stool,
"Well, I've killed around fifty, how about you?"

"Surely a lie, Angels of the Lord!
How have you killed nearly fifty or more?"

The man gave a giggle and grunt from his stool,
"I paid attention in class; did well in school!"

"Well that cannot be, you must be straight about it."

The man said, "Fine, I'll tell you, its practice."

He looked to the side and puffed out his chest,
"I will explain to you the Seraphim's death."

"All of its practice, and nothing more;
Combat's a game, and life even more!
Pretense is a wash, and liars are whores,
The players are liars and a wash even more!"

Controversial and brash! I was deeply intrigued,
"Please, tell me more, I'll buy you a drink."

The man was glad and after drinking his fill,
he turned and said, "There is more to tell still."

"Life is a game; Fate is at play!
The Scriptures, they tell you, we know what they say:
Thou shalt have no other Gods,
Thou shalt not make unto thee graven images,
Thou shalt not kill,
Thou shalt not covet,
and most important of all,
Thou shalt not play!
Such is the nature of the game that they play!
For this crime, I take fifty more;
Pretense is a wash, and liars are whores,
The players are liars and a wash even more!"

I said, "Well, sir, what attitude you have!
Your valor and bravery, stupid, but glad!
What was it that brought you here?"

The man gave a burp and said with a smile,
"I am a German, except in denial."

"My purpose was war, but a different kind,
for me and my men fight war in the sky.
Not against Empire, Nation, or people,
but against Heaven, the Seraphim; Gatekeepers!
You will come to know a life of my kind,
but for now, will you come and stroll for a time?"

I follow the man out of the door, into the night.

I had a girlfriend who would call me at random hours in the morning (2AM or 3AM), crying profusely saying she had something important to tell me. I would always hear the rustling of her clothes as she moved the phone towards her anus and then she would fart into the phone and quickly hang up. This went on for 12 years. On the 7th year of dating we finally met in person and she was insistent on fingering my dick every time we made love. Eventually things escalated and she wanted me to start farting in her pussy because it was a huge turn on to her. One night there was an accident and that fart turned into a shart. She started crying and immediately ran into the bathroom. I pleaded for her to come out so we could talk but she said she needed to call Loveline for relationship advice but I had to keep reminding her that show ended years ago. Eventually she stopped responding and, of course, I feared the worst so I drink two Four Lokos and busted down the door. She was dead. The EMT's said she died of covid 4 weeks ago.

In the year 1889, in the month of June, the painter Vincent van Gogh found himself in a situation much like the one I have just described, and he painted what he saw (Figure 19.1). The painting appeals to us precisely because it both chimes with our experience of what it feels like to be under the stars and affords us the means to dwell upon it – perhaps to discover depths in this experience of which we would otherwise remain unaware. Two things are immediately apparent. First, the night sky is not homogeneous, nor is it empty save for stars. It swirls with currents that resonate with the contours of the landscape which we can dimly make out in the light of a crescent moon. And secondly, the stars themselves are not inert specks in the firmament. On the contrary, they pulse. That is to say, their light is not merely received as a messenger – a vector of projection – that yields them up as objects of our awareness. Rather, we feel it from within, as an affect. Immersed in the swirling expanse, it is as though our minds and bodies are swept up in the flow, even as we remain rooted to one spot. Van Gogh, then, is not just painting stars. He is a star-struck painter: he sees, and paints, with their light. This is why the stars can be at once infinitely distant and yet touch the soul.

It's funny how basically broken the job market is in my country and yet there's very little discussion of how to fix it. We have a surplus of college graduates and a paucity of tradespeople. Who could have predicted that? What a stupid piece of social engineering. Now I'm one of the thousands of college graduates fighting for positions in an even more crowded job market, because we've now got two years of graduates who weren't able to get jobs last year or this year all competing for the same roles. I could do a trade, but that's another 3 years of training where I live. It would have saved everyone a whole lot of time if you had just encouraged more people to do a trade when they were younger, rather than trying to foster some marginal slither of intelligence they don't even really have because it makes them feel good.

Occasionally you'll get articles pointing out how broken it is, but when it comes to solutions people just throw their hands up.

Clues of what? I interact with people regularly, I am not autistic in the traditional sense. I have flatmates and interact with their friends. I'm not a social spastic. When I get drunk I can have a good time and people appear to enjoy my company.

Obviously there is something wrong with me, but I am not sure what. And even if there wasn't anything wrong with me, how do you meet girls? Corona ruined my entire Master, and I will never get another chance. All social meetups after uni are just other men trying to find girls.

Yeah, we cannot control our wills, reminds me of that old quote
It is a more desperate situation than it initially sounds like, because to say there is no possible situation in which you imagine yourself happy means you really have no options, nothing to turn toward. It is not that hard to cling onto life when you have at least one thing keeping you motivated, but when you have nothing, that act of holding on becomes much harder.

Do it anyway. There's nothing to lose and everything to gain. If you feel insecure or afraid to record and then watch yourself that's a separate issue you would have to deal with.
>Obviously there is something wrong with me, but I am not sure what
That's what the problem could solve. Record your dates too. Show them to others.

I've remembering the life of J.R.R.Tolkien, he lost some of his best friends during WWI. And the life of Mikhail Bulgakov were he was subjected to censorship and died in despair. I believe we are not exempt from history and some of us will bear its marks upon our body. It has become obvious to me, that I will be shaped by this moment, and even if I don't agree with the narrative, I will have to get along with it. The thing is I don't know how long can I hold the line before there is no option to resist.

Y brother will not leave the car alone for a weekend. He is afraid someone will bump it again, and has been afraid so since the bump, almost more than 3 months ago.
I tell him this is silly, because obviously staying nearby in the house will not help him if the car gets bumped, only let him know about it sooner. What's the point?
He simply replies he won't leave it.

Perhaps holding the line for the novavax vaccine, if it is really the deus ex machina that will save the world, or even going novax route. I just happened to start my career in need for a job when the jab passports are being rolled out. Whatever I do, society will run its course and the government will do what it is supposed to do. I believe I am in the wrong side of history by holding these petty concerns, and I don't see how they should care about me, being young and stupid. I think I can handle everything, the blame, the hate, the mistakes of humanity as a whole, all that bullshit. I can handle the hyphotetical long term side effects. I can handle getting sick. I can handle losing loved ones. I can handle my own partial death. I can handle hell in earth. I can handle being seen as a monster for ultimately rejecting it all. It doesn't matter my stance, if I go along with the majority, if I go agaisnt the majority, as I will be somehow able to manage it. I know I sound like a schizo, but history seems creeping to my door, I was born for this moment, even if it feels as it is all over and I feel envy for those who could enjoy their youth without going through all this shit.

Can someone help me with understanding egoism? Warning, I only read a third of stirner yet, I am intending to continue some day but he tired me out with his relentless soapboxing and going after every other framework in the first third.
So stirner says everyone is an egoist, either a knowing one or unknowing. Let's say we have a Child, who believes in morality because he has never even questioned it, just because it's what 'is done'. How is acting according to his self interests? He does not necessarily think that it's what should be done and then life will be right and he'll get pleasure, he can think 'i am cutting my arm and I hate it and it sucks but this is what is done'. The 'otherwise I'll be bad and that's worse than cutting my arm' doesn't necessarily have to appear if he just does it like a fool does, because he doesn't even question.
Can someone enlighten me how I'm wrong? Ive been looping this for weeks.

2. you have repeated interactions
3. she likes you
4. you can stand her

Medical doctors, hospital statisticians, and epidemiologists don't spend a lot of time talking about college "safe spaces", which is something you get out of psychologists, teachers, and student activists. Even there, the teachers are fairly split on lockdowns and the psychologists are constantly warning about the mental stresses caused by them.

Egoism is the philosophy concerned with the role of the self, or ego, as the motivation and goal of one's own action. Different theories on egoism encompass a range of disparate ideas and can generally be categorized into descriptive or normative forms. That is, they may be interested in either describing that people do act in self-interest or prescribing that they should. Other definitions of egoism may instead emphasise action according to one's will rather than one's self-interest, and furthermore posit that this is a truer sense of egoism.
