The worst thing about modern job culture is the idea of "hustling". The idea that someone you always need to be "upskilling". For what? You're doing IT for some firm that manufactures widgets. There is zero nobility in that. At least in the military or in food service no body pretends the job is "meaningful" - it's just something to do. That's what I've always felt more comfortable in manual labor work, there's no illusions of "hustling".

The question "what do you do" presupposes that your job is somehow going to provide you with ultimate life meaning. Maybe I'm cynical but, I've found that's far from the case.

"I hate modern 4chan" he thought.
"Nothing but those pepes and wojak edits, it's the same shit as those rage comics we had years ago"
He closed down his web-browser and stepped away from his computer.
"We went from being a site that exemplified the anarchistic spirit of old internet, not beholden to the morality of our parents. No, we where offensive, creative, angry and we got shit done."
he took a sip from his dark coffee, the same kind he prepared every morning and he walked over to his kitchen table.
"Now kids get their political opinions from that shithole and both the media and some users like to pretend that 4chan is more important than it actually is. Oh no, 4chan elected Trump. Dumbest shit I've ever heard, people voted for that guy because they where dissatisfied with the establishment and wanted something new, at the time Trump seemed like the best bet, an outsider to politics who said things no politician before would have dared to say."
He put down his cup on the table and pulled out a chair and sat down.
"No, fuck modern 4chan." He thought.
"And thank god for Newgrounds."

As I understand it, and I don't claim to understand it...
Lacan rips off... I mean is influenced a lot by Saussure and Hegel
You have the Triad of Orders: The Real. The Symbolic. and the Imaginary.
The Real is basically how we experience the world as infants, it is random, chaotic. Doesn't make sense
The Imaginary we reach during the 'mirror stage' this is one of the first symbols we develop, the 'self' we see something moving in a mirror. We realize that it is the self, that is the "I/me/myself" is distinct from all that 'Real' out there. We also think it's the most important thing (according to Lacan). Now that we have one symbol we start segmenting reality into other symbols. Other people who are like us - mom, dad, brother etc. This is the point where 'language' begins to emerge, not in the sense of words and phrases, but the idea of signs and symbols and mental representations.
However at some point we start to learn that if we do say things that are related to our mental representations, we can get what we want from Daddy. This is the Symbolic order - and it includes things like the knowledge of ideological conventions, morality, decorum - basically what being a member of society is like. It is related to Freud's Superego.
With me so far? No you're not... so maybe Zizek can help. With a consumer digital camera the 'real' refers to it's technical properties like how many pixels it has, the battery life, the dynamic range, the color response; the 'symbolic' refers to the "competitional/social" effects that possessing the camera may have; while the 'imaginary' is the "experience" possessing the camera and the attempts to realize those social effects.
A little aside, Jouissance, Jouissance is a legal term for when you have the right to exploit land, it also means 'an orgasm' but Lacan uses it figuratively to describe when the 'Real' interrupts the 'Symbolic'. Like when a successful family man raw-dogs a thai ladyboy's bussy just for the hell of it.
Now being a Fruedian, Lacan is obsessed with sexual thoughts about fathers. And just when you thought you had grasped this Triad he hits you with the 'Discourses'.

There are Four Discourses: the Master. the Slave. the Hysteric. and the Analyst.
Sounds pretty straight forward, no wait he's a French Charlatan, why would it be straight forward.
You see the Master is really the Slave.
The Father is the Master. The child is the Slave. The father makes the rules (ahhh the father imposes the Symbolic and Imaginary order on the otherwise 'real' of the Child's lives). But the father can only have Jouissance, or pleasure, through his children - he goes to work and earns a wage, he disciplines his children so that they can thrive in the Imaginary order of normal society. When they do, he has Jouissance.
The way I think about it is: Mister Burns is the Master, but he's totally helpless without his doting Slave Smithers.
Now, if you question the father's rules - you are a Hysteric. But if you question the Hysteric. You are an Analyst. Now, we rotate between the four all the time everyday.
Finally there's a whole thing about 'le petite a' and the impossibility of feeling whole which drives Joussiance.
>Note: Like I said, I don't understand it. I think the Master/Slave role inversion is very interesting, the idea of the Master needing the Slave for Jouissance is the only useful thing Lacan has ever spoken about. And I'm not familiar enough with Hegel to know if it's even his. I still don't understand the difference between the Symbolic and the Imaginary, or even which one is which. I think the Imaginary is interpersonal, and the symbolic is mental representations? Jouissance is also a slippery one. I thought it simply meant when the Master relies on the Slave to 'enjoy' something - like a man having sex with a woman to achieve orgasm, a landowner requiring serfs to work his land, or a father needing his children to get good grades so he isn't stressed about their future, but apparently it's about the Real interrupting the other orders and mixing it all up. I do know that it's connected some how with 'le petite a' which describes this sort of asymptote impossibility of ever feeling whole no matter how close you get because the Real is too unknowable to every be Symbolically ordered
let me know if this helps, it won't, I know

The internet allows women to benefit from their beauty, bodies, and personalities at scale using online platforms, but this is a short term strategy to get the most resources they can while it lasts. Those women who do this (and not all women do) will still probably want a partner or a family down the track. In my experience, most women want the wedding and the family. I think they are just getting a lot of mixed messages, especially about the career stuff, but they also get an exaggerated sense of their value and their options and what league they are in from technology (social media, dating apps) and hookup culture. The average woman gets wildly more positive attention than the average (straight) man, and it would be easy to lean into it too much and misjudging how deep the attention goes and how long it lasts in your life.

The problem for average men is that the impacts of technology have worked against them. Average masculinity doesn't sell or scale well because it is harder for the average man to appear competent, athletic, wealthy, funny, or high in social status when the social context is expanded across the entire city, country, or globe. An average man might have a few good qualities, but there are millions of other men out there who have all of it and more. So the average man (not to mention men who are below average) can experience the same social media and dating apps as a frustrating and defeating slog, even though they are perfectly adequate men in reality. It's easy to see men responding badly to those feelings, falling through the cracks, becoming bitter losers, and generally believing they are permanently doomed to be much lower status than they really are.

Marriage only exists as a function for inheritance and child rearing, neither of which has any meaning anymore.

All family names are meaningless in the modern globalized reality we live in. Family names exist because they could differentiate you, your relatives, your lands, and your deeds in whatever locale you descended from. None of these things have significance anymore, for example even if you still have deeds to share (almost functionally impossible) you've no-one to share them with, there is no staying power in anything anymore, your name is vestigial, history if it still exists doesn't need anyone in particular now.

I got it, i figured out how existence comes from non existence. in non existence there is no constraint on what can exist, therefore in the beginning everything existed, both imaginable and unimaginable. But because God is something and everything existed, God existed, God being the greatest possible being. Because God was the greatest possible being, he subjugated all the other everythings that existed, and became the determiner of what exists and what does not exist, thus defining and constraining reality from nothing and therefore everything to something. logic and reason and matter and all the stuff in our universe is purely arbitrary and only exists because everything existed. But God then determined, by being the greatest possible being, that these things exist first, and other unimaginable things which have the potential to exist and existed in the beginning do not exist. Reality starts with zero constraint, and this zero constraint produces a being who can constrain reality. and so you go from nothing existing to everything existing to a constrained reality existing.

So I've had this fetish at least since I was in middle school (prob even before) where if I'm in a public place (like a library) with a lot of chairs and I see a cute girl with a cushiony bottom (especially one wearing a skirt) and she's sitting on a chair I secretly hope that once she gets up I'll have the opportunity to sit in that same chair and just luxuriate in the warmth that her derriere and nether regions imparted to the chair. It's especially hot if she was just wearing a thin dress or skirt over her butt because it means there was less separation between her sweaty butt imbued underwear and the chair I'm now sitting on.

So I made a post yesterday about how pornography might be traumatizing an entire generation of children. I just found this video
https://youtu.be/JWQMCFTy8ps
Skip to about 4:10. Most of the video is stupid, but he offers a very interesting point that ties into my theory of a whole generstion of sexually traumatized youth.

He says that theres a recent surge of girls wanting to transition into males because they see violent fetishist porn. They associate womanhood and female sexuality with being sexually abused per the porn. Therefore, they reject their bodies and would rather be males.
Now recall what I said yesterday. I said that a lot of what young people are doing is the same type of behavior the sexually abused perform. We KNOW that girls who were molested try to reject womanhood and femininity. If not by outright "transitioning" they will do it by shaving their heads, dressing ugly, tattooing and piercing, etc. I think this is another piece of evidence that viewing porn at a young age is a form of sexual abuse.

Should also be interesting to note that this youtube video is a catholic video. The point he made is common among terfs. There should be an alignment between terfs and traditionalists

I’ve gone too far in terms of sexuality. I’ve explored every sexual thing I care to, straight, gay, fetishes of the most disgusting nature. First I got tired of women. Then I got tired of trannies. Then I got tired of men. Then I got tired of furry porn. It’s been months and I haven’t been turned on by anything. It’s like finishing a movie or a game, or a book. I can’t rewatch something I’ve seen 100 times like that.

I’ve masturbated myself into a eunuch. My teeth are falling out, my hair is falling out, I become weaker every day, I often think about suicide. I’m agoraphobic and egotistical to the point of mental illness, which I have also been diagnosed with. I’ve tried so many pills, none of them work. They’re not only nothing but band aids, they don’t even work as band aids. They don’t work as supplements. Once my left eye goes blind, which I’m afraid it will, I’ll be going out. A NEET lifestyle. I read books but it doesn’t improve my life, I take up hobbies and quit them after I’m convinced this will be the thing that saves me. I have no friends. Nobody will miss me except my mom. I just want the pain to stop, and at this point I think I’m accepting that philosophically speaking, there may be no god, practically speaking there is no point to living, so it must be moral to die.

You know, your post just made me realise that there is really only one gender of bugman. It is neither precisely male nor female (which explains why in large part they are entirely at ease with the notion of taking their biological identity and stomping it into the ground like it never mattered). The "male presenting bugman" is really too feminised to be properly considered masculine in any sense. Whereas the "female presenting bugman" lacks almost feminine qualities whatsoever.

No duh, it's one example of how easily porn pathologizes the male mind. Btw, sexual asphyxiation can be incredibly dangerous, and that's without counting the ever more common cases of intentionally depraved sexual choking to which unwitting women are being subjected by males who've developed what is essentially a quasi-necrophile fetish. There was a famous criminal case in New Zealand concerning precisely just such an act of sexual depravity a few years back. Needless to say all this is being fueled by an unchecked epidemic of extreme porn in the West.

N.

You're unnecesarily muddying the water. You know just as well as anyone else that, when discussed, pornography isn't mentioned as an action/event within a vacuum.

I won't go so far as to catagorically label it "bad". To claim, however, that the prevailing narrative regarding pornography, the "you can have your cake and eat it too" sentiment, the "it's normal and therefor it is healthy", is not only "neutral" but that it should be tolerated, is intentionally subvertive, and should be treated as such.

So yes, everything in moderation, as your post is clearly trying to imply. Issue is, some things are found in such concentrated quantities, that you very quickly surpass that point at which it becomes toxic/lethal. Heroin is a great examle of this. You don't, however, see people pushing heroine as a part of everyday normal life. Pornography is no different.

>inb4 porn addiction isn't real
Don't care. Didn't ask. Simply because your not physically ingesting/injecting/inhaling x or y chemicle, doesn't mean links/feedback loops can't (and infact do) get made between behavior, and their physio-chemicle consequences. Loops involving super-normal stimuli especially so. You see it with neurotics (OCD, for instance). These people, technically, aren't addicted. And yet they fall back on these behavior patterns with the same ferocity addicts seek out heroine. All just to maintain some sort of equilibrium.

For example, one claimed that no one provided proof, I then proceed to ask him what proof would be acceptable to prove morality to meaning, he then proceeded to say he didn't know.

I was sexually abused as a child by my parents. This happened not through some overt physical molestation but through simple neglect. My parents allowed me unfettered access to the internet, video games, and movies.

One day as a young child I stumbled across dominatrix porn, a disgusting fetish which I still have to this day.

Psychologically it desensitizes the routine user and causes them to reflexively seek out more and more extreme sex acts in order to recapture something of the original "high" they experienced when they were still relatively novel users of porn. This not uncommonly results in them becoming dependent on certain categories of porn such as: cuck porn; bbc; trap & mtf transexual porn; urophilia & scatology; simulated or quasi real violent misogynistic porn; bestiality; and then there's the slippery slope from, for example, Japanese clothed "junior idols" to darkweb cp, etc.

this is probably true, I agree. it's very interesting if you imagine that sex in itself is full of symbolism of male/female and roles and so on.

The classical answer is Being or the Ground of Being. So to Plato God is the highest Idea, to Aristotle pure Act sans potency. The Neoplatonists and Christians synthesized and expounded on these. Eitenee Gilson has written several books detailing this historical development.

Isn't Aristotle's "highest" being the self-contemplating God that draws on reality by acting as the final cause of all things, but not acting upon them as an efficient cause?

Pure matter as potential is at the bottom of his system, the opposite end, and it's questionable whether he believed in an actual substance called "hule," or whether hule was just an abstract description for different kinds of matter. Hule literally just means "materials used for building something." It's like saying "the parts" or "the building materials" when building something. A chair's hule is wood or carbon molecules or whatever you prefer, but there is no "raw hule." That's one view anyway.

What really changed was when we got an internet connection in my mid teens and I realized there was as much out there as I was willing to look at. From that point on porn became a hobby and a part of my life and I developed more specific fetishes.

Wait hold up, why do you think this?

I think I might have an inclination, there seems to be something a bit emotionally convincing that because things end, nothing matters.

But is it logical?


Does the fact that two books both eventually end mean that all books are the same?

One person who was knowledgeable and active all her life now suffers from severe cognitive limitations, while another person has suffered from such severe cognitive
limitations all her life. They are similar now. But we would not say that their lives were the same. Of course, if we examine only the
aspects in which these two people are similar, completely disregarding those aspects in which they differ, the two appear the same.

This is true also of cases in which their lives are over and the people are equal now in being dead: although both Martin Luther King Jr. and Jack the Ripper are now dead, it would be odd to consider their lives as similar in meaning.

from all the experience I have of love. Have come to a conclusion. That I have never not loved anybody. I have loved everybody I have met especially the ones that have loved me back. I haven't had any real relationships. What I have had are intense conversations about love with 2 girls. I didn't profess my love to them, I was too scared, Still am. I did love them and I could feel the warmth from them and in some moments I had loved them more than me, but I knew somehow that if I do tell them that I loved them. I would've been a very sad person and not definitely somebody who is writing this. After I had seen them both for the last times, I have felt a great darkness cast upon me and as if I had been reborn but a with a lot of Love in my heart and I have loved everybody since. I love everybody I know. The little fake chick, The annoying depressed friend, The guy who I know since college etc. I have loved everyone from all the uncles I've met and the aunties too, My professors and chefs, The ticket collector on my bus I have loved everybody. One thing that bugged me was that I did not cry after losing those 2 friends and I pondered about it a lot. I knew people were supposed to cry after losing someone, I had seen people do it in the movies and people I knew IRL, tough and strong guys everybody cried. So, why didn't I? I thought maybe I should drink cuz you know Devdas and so I drank and I didn't cry. Then I thought maybe I should got on a solo trip that's when people have realizations and shit right ZNMD, Dil chahta hai. So I did and nothing happened but I noticed something while drinking and travelling. I haven't cried cuz there was nothing to cry about, I hadn't lost anything and neither had they. I still loved them the same. They had left me sure but not really, I still remember their voice, I still remember their faces and laughs. the smiles and and the laughs, I remember it all, They're still there in myself in my soul. Even if we can't see each other and can't ever be together physically I know we are connected with Love. So how could I be sad at all, How can I be gloomy and restless. I have so much intense love to give, I can't stop it. I even shudder to think how much love am I capable of when I truly someone else....

Giving yourself up to a calling always seems like the easy way out of depression. If you join a cult. Find God. Become a lefty. Become a q-anon. Suddenly you'll see how unimportant all the minor annoyances of your life are and you'll be invested with the existential significance you think you're missing.
But I'm pretty sure that it would quickly disappoint. When you start seeing that despite being blessed by god, you're still unemployed or working teh same shitty job, despite becoming a leftie you haven't smashed the patriarchy... you start thinking: wait, I'm just doomed to mediocrity forever.

Let me walk you through the 2 types of Depression. I'll be your guide
>Category 1
You're unhappy with your life, likely because it sucks. You're not usually this sad, so maybe it's not normal, you think - maybe it's depression. You feel apathetic, or guilty, or sad, and don't want to do stuff you normally do. This is normal, nearly everyone (even normalfags) goes through this, and you're not mentally ill; it's just a brief state of ennui and you'll recover. How quickly you bounce back though depends on you. If you're depressed because your life sucks, it'll take more effort to fix obviously. Don't take any antidepressants if this describes you, except as a last resort. Just be patient and give it time.
>Category 2
Something is seriously wrong with your head. Your memory is fucked, motor skills on the decline, you look in the mirror and don't recognize what's staring back. People with this sort of depression may also report weakened senses (can't really smell anything, food tastes like cardboard, visual color range diminished) and coexistent bowel problems like Irritable Bowel Syndrome. You can also feel extremely guilty, sad, and have suicidal thoughts for no particular reason. It might also occur in depressive "episodes", or just be a constant thing. The shitty thing about Cat. 2 depression is that like cancer, it's not a single disease, but a blanket term for a condition caused by a VAST amount of issues. Cancer = rapid multiplication of cells. Depression = neurotransmitter imbalance. Just like cancer, Cat. 2 depression has to be treated based on the specific problem causing the imbalance. But what sucks is that depression is still woefully under-researched. For some people, it's as simple as getting their blood levels checked or taking a supplement. For others, they'll spend years trying to track down the problem struggling to find any clues. At this stage, you can start taking antidepressants. Exercise might help boost mood but it won't fix the problem. Nutrition however CAN fix people in this type though, some people just need to be on a strict diet and they're good. It all varies per person.

Category 2 depression, like schizophrenia, has always existed, but it may be exacerbated by modern living conditions. We just don't really know why it happens so it's hard to say more. You are probably in the first type, so don't worry too much.

When I'm talking about something mattering, I don't mean to imply that the little things we do in our lives don't matter to us or other people. Things matter to us, but I don't place a lot of importance or meaning on us. So in the grand picture, the very idea that everything we do is temporary seems to diminish our importance and value. If we were permanent, assuming that would mean we have a soul, then it would imply that we have some greater purpose or importance in this universe and in our existence.

I'm not denying being permanent might enhance something's meaning, but being necessary for it seems a bit much.
Although death and annihilation diminish worth, they do not destroy it completely. What is transient is not of perfect value. But it is of some value, and that may well be very much. What is true for floor sweeping is also true for most of our other activities. We do not think that eating, washing dishes, sleeping, and making our bed in the morning are meaningless activities, although their results are not eternal and we have to do them
over again periodically. If we thought that, we would not bother eating or washing dishes. Much of what we find to be worthwhile is
transient, and this transience does not make it worthless

I acknowledge that we have things in our day to day lives that matter to us. My point is that I do not believe we matter, therefor why should what matters to us matter?

Things like eating and sleeping are done for survival. In a way, we are compelled to do them by our very being. Some break from this a kill themselves. I think that tasks that must be done for survival are not good examples of things that have meaning for us. You can eat, sleep, clean, exercise etc. not because you find meaning or importance in them, but simply because you are afraid of death and are compelled to do them.

Morality (the good), enquiry (the true), and creativity (the beautiful) are widely held instances of activities that confer meaning on life, while trimming toenails and eating snow––along with the counterexamples to subjectivism above––are not.

>My point is that I do not believe we matter, therefor why should what matters to us matter?

What don't we matter to? The universe? Why would it matter what the universe thought of us? I, for one, have no such interest, because almost all of the cosmos, being nothing more than an enormous quantity of utterly dead matter, seems to me to be completely irrelevant to the meaning of my
life.

Well that's part of the point right. The idea that because the results aren't infinite they are meaningful or pointless seems to be unfounded.

They're certainly admirable things. People like them, but I don't agree that they give life meaning on their own.

There is no "what" to matter to, not even the universe. Assuming, of course, that the person doesn't believe in some higher power.
>Well that's part of the point right. The idea that because the results aren't infinite they are meaningful or pointless seems to be unfounded.
I'm not quite sure what you're looking for. If you're looking for scientific evidence you're not going to find it. As I've said earlier, we can't know whether something has meaning or not. It is up to our own beliefs. So it is going to remain "unfounded" until the day one dies and possibly even after.
>let me ask you this, which one of these things would have more value. An infinite pile of shit, or a temporary rose?
The infinite pile of shit because it's worth more $$$ than the rose. Joke aside, from my view, they are equally worthless. But I would prefer the rose. This just circles back to my point though that what I, or you, or anyone else prefers doesn't matter in the big picture. Whether I chose shit or rose does not matter in the long run. To say otherwise, would seem to me to place an odd importance on us.

Clearly, it matters to people then? Or it's entirely possible that there is "good" or "bad" as objective truths rather then subjective means?

Again, you make the claim that nothing matters in the big picture just because it ends. This is a point that doesn't make that much logical sense. Yes of course if we ignore all the things that make lives different that seem to matter exactly the same.

You keep saying it doesn't matter in the big picture, but you don't ever really justify this statement.

Let me ask you another question, does the past matter at all?

I've devoted years of my life to multiple books I can't for the life of me finish because I'm just not that good of a "big picture guy". I have fun ideas, people like my prose and find it entertaining to read, and I'm good individual scenes but tying them all together into a comprehensive novel that doesn't look like it's held together by duck tape is an impossibilty for me. I'm thinking of killing myself, before I become a bitter wagie that doesn't even know how to read books anymore without being reminded of his inadequacies as an artist .

>Why?
I view a distinction between what matters to a person, such as the things you listed, and mattering in a larger view. Since I do not believe we matter, why should our preference for truth, beauty, and the good matter? Someone else can say that it's sex, money, and status that really matter and give meaning. I don't think they would be any less wrong. But I would emphasize that this is personal meaning and doesn't really have any significance outside of yourself.
>Clearly, it matters to people then? Or it's entirely possible that there is "good" or "bad" as objective truths rather then subjective means?
I'm not too sure what you're saying with this one. Do you believe in objective "good" and "bad?"
>I'm asking for your personal justification of the belief. I'm trying to help you out.
There comes a point when you take things as certain axioms. I know it's not a satisfactory answer, but explaining a belief rarely is.
>Let me ask you another question, does the past matter at all?
It very well could matter. I have no way of knowing if it does or doesn't. Though, if I were to have to choose I would say no.

>>19823455
>I'm really just trying to get you to analyze your base assumption that "in the big picture nothing matters because it doesn't last forever".
I don't really have an argument for why, it's more I can't see why the opposite should be true. If something is temporary why should it matter?
>It may be that in comparison to cosmological events, whatever happens in our lives is tiny, but in itself, it is sufficient to reach the threshold of meaningfulness.
Yes, one can find happiness, satisfaction, and personal meaning in life regardless of our actual size in the universe. But this for me has no bearing on actual meaning.

Okay I think I sometimes address too many points at once. What does this statement mean?

Why do you expect perfection from yourself?>

Yes


>There comes a point when you take things as certain axioms. I know it's not a satisfactory answer, but explaining a belief rarely is.

I guess I'm just asking you to challenge those axioms. I admit this isn't the most satisfactory answer.

>I don't really have an argument for why, it's more I can't see why the opposite should be true. If something is temporary why should it matter?

Because time isn't the determining factor if something matters. Sure you might argue that it matters more if it lasts forever, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't matter if not.


>Yes, one can find happiness, satisfaction, and personal meaning in life regardless of our actual size in the universe. But this for me has no bearing on actual meaning.

Meaning on what?


Try to think of what you mean by "bigger picture, greater meaning" etc. If you mean the cosmos, I don't really think you have a great reason to care about it.

Also, why don't you just try to write a first draft, avoid rewriting, if there's plot holes - let there be plot holes, it's a first draft. It's not meant to even resemble the finished product.

you're right, I really need to stop with trying to finish it in one draft. I guess it's a lack of discipline derived from a source of solipsistic pride.

weeks ago i went to my neighbours door with a knife because she is a disgusting bolivian whore that puts music for everyone to hear, also in a relationship with a robber. i was so close but then she opened the door and i couldnt do it, though my intentions were clear and she noticed for sure. this was after me being polite and civilized for 6 times trying to ask them both to stop being loud mongoloids. i havent heard a noise since then, it was really a primal moment even for me living in a shithole. i had 2 or 3 dreams where i am stabbing her and her boyfriend and the blood paints the ceiling
