Why do Jay Dyer fanboys have to exist in real life? I was visiting an Orthodox Church and talking with some of the other visitors and ended up getting one of their phone numbers and the guy turns out to be a giant theology-bro, Jay Dyer fan and obsessed with philosophy and obscure theological controversies more than anything else and I never hear him talk about God or the Bible. I just wanted Christian friends.

It took me years to realize but people enjoy talking with me for hours for some reason, I consider myself a fag pseud, but it seems people find me funny and think I know shit about stuff.

I have a crush on my cousin's wife. She's 30 (he's 33), I'm 21. I don't know if it's a crush or "puppy love", if that makes sense. She is just my ideal of a "classy/high value woman", very aristocratic in a way. I don't want to have sex with her, just want her affection, like a pat on the head from her or something. Can anyone relate or give advice? Should I clamp down on these feelings and if so how? We only see each other like once or twice a year, and we met up a few days ago and since then I've been thinking these thoughts.

You can easily get herpes with a condom anon, because all it needs is skin to skin contact. If you balls are slapping up against an infected moot then you can get herpes. But herpes isn't all as bad as people make it sound. A really large percentage of people have genital herpes they just don't realise it because they've never had symptoms. That's how it gets passed around - by people who are symptomless.

In fact, doctors don't test for herpes on STI checks for that reason. If you have herpes and you're symptomless it's just better not to know.

I feel sorry for the people who get symptoms though.

Here is a somewhat unhinged amphetamine fueled journal entry of mine from a couple of days ago. I'm curious how much sense it would make to an outsider, or if any of my thoughts seem worthwhile. I haven't edited anything. Let me know your thoughts, if you find it interesting enough to read. (1/5)

"
4/13/22

I don’t think I have a purpose. I mean the kind of purpose you create for yourself, not the kind that is given to you. —. I feel stressed, and I don’t want to, but I can’t seem to control it. This methylphenidate is so volatile, I wish I could more efficiently utilize it. All too often I get stressed or confounded; stuck. It is very difficult to get into a flow, and it is very easy to lose momentum and get… stuck. I wish the words I say to myself internally were stronger, more than just their mental elocution; I wish I could alter that subconscious part of me that reigns over my “state”. I tell myself “it’s ok”, “loosen up”, “focus”, to no avail. There are valid reasons for my stress, in addition to the invalid ones. A testament to the aforementioned volatility: I feel better in this instant. It will not last. Everytime I reach one of these moments of serenity I consider I might have found a method for alleviating that paralyzing pseudo-stress that inhibits me. Either the serenity is reached independent of me, or I keep forgetting the important parts of my newfound method; regardless I keep finding myself… stuck. It may be exacerbated by my recent personality/thought patterns, where I find myself getting utterly lost in the details and pedantic nuance of any thought. I think I am particularly prone to getting lost when considering what to do, like, next. That which is most important? That which is most appealing? Should I stick with my current occupation in the hopes of avoiding that ever-frustrating, hopelessly paralyzing confoundment, even when I know I should attend to more pressing matters? This pointless and confusing contemplation over what I should do in the immediate future usually ends up being the way I occupy the entire “immediate future”. That is, until I snap out of it, or more likely, trip into the Confoundment (capitalized C since the word describes that very specific and personal experience I’ve been harking on). I am in a bit of a flow right now, which is nice, but I am now in the exact situation of consideration I listed third. I should switch tasks. I hope I don’t lose this momentum. I will return if I do.

"

Ok I’m back. I felt a twinge of the beginnings of confoundment. It hasn’t gone away yet. I hope it does. I hate how I need to keep moving at all times because confoundment can sneak into the smallest of windows of mental inaction or after encountering the smallest of roadblocks. It is terribly enigmatic to me; I can never quite determine the true cause of any improvement or deterioration in my mental state. Was it one of my thoughts or actions or was it a shift in the concentrations of whatever psychoactives are in my blood? Realistically, it’s probably both, but I am nonetheless ever-clueless as to what I can actually control, else I embody the murucial and am temporarily and briefly convinced of one of the two superlatives. —. Again I feel better. I sincerely hope this positive development in my “state” was initiated by writing these sentences; that I have a method, that it wasn’t chemicals, that it wasn’t random, that I have control. If I return, you’ll know why.

Ok I think this break can be brief. Something about the moments after completing a task are primed for el sneaky sneaky Confoundment (maybe I could use a better word, shorter and more personal, maybe something german). It really is a battle though, I must be on my toes, vigilant, nip any hint of oncoming confoundment in the bud. —. Ok, huge digression time. I think I need something. A higher aim, an ultimate pursuit, purpose. I can’t quite tell, but I don’t think I do, currently. At least if I do, it isn’t good enough, maybe it's flawed, or too abstract. Or maybe I just can’t remember it, or fail to keep it present. Regardless, I think there is some problem with this “purpose”. I’ll call it Zweck. I want to avoid over-intellectualization, to which I am all too prone. I am reminded of that (perhaps the) eternal dilemma of mine, the (seemingly) hopelessly abstract one that has to do with simplicity vs complexity, thinking vs doing, endogenic vs exogenic fate. I now realize how this dilemma parallels my struggles over “what to do next” I wrote of prior. I digress. With conjecture as a pretext (as it so often is for me (perhaps to your annoyance (the hypothetical reader))): my most fundamental problems, frustrations, and failures ultimately stem from my lack of an adequate Zweck. This, however, is a terribly abstract problem, I do not know if I can address it consciously. Hopefully the realization is some first step. —. Shit! I have been writing too long! I am feeling the beginnings of it, the C word. I need to not stop thinking, for I can’t “switch gears” since the feeling has arrived during this writing, which is supposed to be what I switch to to quell them, the feelings. I shouldn’t have written so long.

>tl;dr - How can you take action on the good actions you don't know they're possible?
Aristotelian potentiality and actuality as it relates to Gibsonian Affordances as it relates to 'Evolutionary Niches' as it relates to market positioning.
I see the opportunity to do something (affordance) which allows me to do something else I couldn't before - i.e. move the stool to the left so I can reach the thing on the left of the top shelf. Non-Ergodicity and the Butterfly effect: every decision to exploit an affordance creates new affordances which create new affordances, choosing and creating those affordances happens at the expense of other potential causal pathways. There are no mulligans.
It is wrong to take hasty action, because these lead to negative causal pathways. This decision leads to only shitty opportunities all of which will fuck you up.
But the FOMO of inaction, knowing that there must be some action, affordance, decision that you could take that is better than the others, that will open up a causal pathway you didn't see earlier.
Keynes rejection of the Principle of Insufficient Reason: not all choices are equal.
But if you're not aware of all your choices then you're at a handicap to make the 'right choice'. Affordances are perceived, they don't exist. How can you see more affordances?
Is it necessary to reinterpret reality like Munger's 'Latticework of Models' - to imagine yourself not just as who you are here, but to roleplay and see the world through the lens of a Engineer, an Accountant, a Whore, a Monk: to see your situation and the actions and affordances available to you though any number of mental models to witness more choices than you thought you had?

Emergency plan, I chose new music and immediately and - Fuck! Ok. I can solve this. I will continue writing, but think about tasks (pressing matters), put them on the backburner. Sometimes this inspires me to pursue them. Dome now and new music. A risk. Fingers crossed.
4;03 (later): success! (?)
Ok. That worked quite well, I’m glad. 4:13, time for new music & dome, then back to it: an attempt to not repeat the mistake of spending the valuable minutes of motivation this writing is supposed to create on the writing itself.
Another brief writing break. This seems to work, I don’t know for how long it will. I will remember this. New music, slightly more energetic. This entry today is certainly unique, compared to what has been written here so far. It maintains the formal tone and proper grammar for the most part, but it is more scattered, more stream of consciousness. Thoughts are often not given context, or are banal, uninteresting. E.g. “new music” becomes completely irrelevant after it is written. Fuck. Again. I got this. I need to do it again, recompose myself. I have done well. I can’t panic, but I can’t slow down. Time to commit, time for thoughtless completion, it’s what works.
I did it. It is unfortunate that I can’t seem to revel in the completion of tasks, at least in this state. Enjoyment actually comes from working on them. Yet again, thoughts of the True vs the strategically true have arisen in me. A part of whatever has control over my internal monologue, whether subconscious or conscious, ego or id, whispered how this current “state” of mine must eventually unravel, and that some confounding/frustrating state must follow. I do not know if this is true, if it must come to be, but even more so I don’t know if the acknowledgement of such a (possible) truth will forcibly bring about its reality. You (the reader( — I still haven’t decided to/to not use the second person “here”)) have heard this before, and I think it might be yet another embodiment (there is a better word; sought, unfound) of my “eternal dilemma”.

456. No, I can’t rest. I can’t decide what to pursue, everything takes so much time. —. Something new: written consideration: should I get picked up for lamun. The entry of the topic into my head has already caused discomfort. It is not a big deal. I don’t know why these kinds of things begin confoundment, but I have learned that they do. I do not want to lose flow, which confoundment obviously threatens. I also. FUCK. Why can’t I have both. I am acting like a crazy person, incessantly writing down every thought as soon as it appears, fearing something will happen if I stop. Why can’t I stop? I don’t want to worry my family, being shut in here listening to music. I am fearful of slowing down. What my writing has come to must certainly sound like someone unhinged wrote it. I don’t know if I should slow down, I fear losing flow, I’m afraid to even take the time to read what I’ve just written. But I am accomplishing nothing. Ok risk time, I will slow down, take a break, wish me luck.
It was a short break. I can worry less. Things are ok. “Here” is meant for me, for now it is. It is a tool. If sporadic/dramatic ramblings are what is good for me, they can exist here: it’s for me. Today is good. Now is good. There are countless things to worry about. Worrying will not solve them. I never would have expected to be here, to be someone who is paralyzed by worry. Ritalin certainly exacerbates this, but I think it still inhibits me when “Aussache” (a word for me, it means the “state” without the influence of adhd medication. “Sober” indicates the lack of recreational substance for me, results in bad vibes (really this explanation of Aussache directly contradicts my claim of this being “for me”, curious)). I am ok. This claim is not selfish, it is not made solely to console myself, to feel good. It is true. Those whispers claiming “this will end” are true, I’ll have to sleep. Others do not think poorly of me. They care about me, they appreciate me. In this moment those words feel like more than their elocution. Without sarcasm: how inspiring. There are pressing matters. They will not paralyze me. It is enough for me to continue “here”, doing so will not be sin. I think keeping my thoughts in check is more important than the “pressing matters”. Eventually they should be addressed, and maybe I will shift to them, but… I am ok. I like me, I think. This is not about delaying confoundment. I hope. That doubt is inescapable. I pray I am not simply seeking pleasure. I pray this is said and done in the pursuit of getting through to myself, and I pray that it works. I pray this lasts, beyond today. I still feel the fear. I still feel the guilt. I have control over it, for now. I want to pray, in sincerity. Too many thoughts. I am still weak. Time for a risky break.

It is very difficult to fend off bad thoughts. I hope I am doing something here. I want to say I am doing something here, but I don’t want to damage the trust I have in my own thoughts through strategic belief. I worry this is pointless, that it serves simply to distract me from impending displeasure. I am convinced there is something flawed in me. I hate certain thoughts: “you are acting crazy” “all of this, and you, are the result of neurotransmitters. You are cheating your dopamine, you were accomplishing nothing and yet you felt good. You supplement the effects of amphetamines with nicotine, for no purpose other than to feel pleasure. You are unable to produce results without misusing your medication; you dose more than you are prescribed, maybe you don’t even have a condition, you have lied to yourself and others to achieve more pleasure, nothing more”. I do need to worry less, I get too confused and lost. Another particularly unpleasant thought: “you are producing nothing material, you are essentially masturbaiting”. I pray for clarity. I am on the comedown. I don’t know what all that ‘must’ entail. I can make it better or worse and I choose better. Is too much self reflection a bad thing? Have I done too much here? I have to believe things will get better. I won’t always be so lost.

The personality these guys have is unlike Christians irl, they're all moody and pessimistic and use their belief as a hammer against the things they hate.

If they're focusing on entertainment, rather than focusing everyone, including the youngins, on the worship of God, then that does mean the Church is lesser. It's not a serious Church if it's just going along with modern trends.

When I was an atheist, I went to a friend's baptism at a megachurch out of curiosity, and it was exactly just like a rock concert but with extremely weak and emotional music. I could tell even then it had nothing to do with worshipping God - but just stewing in your emotions, because that's exactly what rock concerts are about.

This is why atheists who reject Protestant forms of worship are attracted to TradCat (provided it's not novus ordo), and Orthodox forms of worship, because it actually attempts to be a sober and serious veneration of the King of the Cosmos, instead of the self-obsessed emotionalism you find everywhere else in the world.

The closest Protestant song I've heard that comes close to an actual sense of reverence is "Awesome God" by Rich Mullins. The sense that song was pointing towards was completed when I heard the Russian Orthodox saturday evening service , "The Lord is King" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiF4WePVE24..

These thoughts are overly self-referential. It's not really anything productive either, it's just chasing your tail. It's narcissistic in a way.

I suppose the Protestant church I went to is different than most then. Mine was a Southern Baptist church founded in the late 1800s on the east coast, we sang traditional hymns out of a hymn book either acapella or with organ accompaniment, sermons were fairly serious (and boring to me as a kid). There were three or four choirs - the children's choir, the adolescent choir, and then the elder choir (and maybe an adult choir, idk). The choir was also traditional since we sang only to piano accompaniment, and for O Holy Night we learned it without a lyrics sheet by some sort of tradition as well. Baptism was also a serious affair.

Maybe I was lucky. I can totally see places such as the west coast or midwest having a lot more megachurches and "entertainment" churches. It's always one of those things about America I thought people exaggerated. In the south at least, churches are a fairly rote and plain affair, pretty traditional-minded.

Easy - try to do any practical activity, but actively commit to avoiding every single kind of truth while doing it. For example, if a particular musical interval sounds good in truth, then reject that truth and do something else.

You won't be able to do it, because literally everything you do needs you to to differentiate what is true and what is false, and accept the truth in place of what is false.

If you actually do this deeply enough, it will raise natural questions of why there is truth.

If, however, all of your attention is devoted *exclusively* to making money, then you will not be able to play bass like Jaco Pastorius - precisely because his whole soul went into his music, his entire drive to express and explore truth through music was channeled through his bass guitar. His talent was not merely technical proficiency - it was expression attuned to truth, because you can't make something that sounds good without knowing deep truth about what sounds good.

You can tell when someone is just driving their desire to make money from their instrument - they're completely dead, cold, and corporate. They could make a lot of money, sure, but they won't play like Jaco Pastorius.

That's not seeking truth: How does trying to answer questions about the truth help you do those practical activities? Tell me how you suppose that would work.
>If you actually do this deeply enough, it will raise natural questions of why there is truth.
Those questions are a waste of time. The truth will reveal itself (which is what I said here: >>20250914 ) not by seeking to answer those questions about "what is real" or "what is truth" or finding Christ. But through just doing stuff.
> precisely because his whole soul went into his music, his entire drive to express and explore truth through music was channeled through his bass guitar.
Except for the part where he was a alcoholic and liked to get into fights, which is what killed him.
>They could make a lot of money, sure, but they won't play like Jaco Pastorius.
I'm sorry you're confused.

I'm an a la carte NPC.
I have no agency.
I no longer see the virtue in seeking not to be a NPC. I am utterly resigned to the hellscape of this world. Of the elites who have totally quantized the masses, where each human is just another consoomer. I see no virtue in laboring pointlessly through Black Pills, Red Pills and the like. I see no possibility of whether or not I resign to the hellscape or not is going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back, the butterfly fart in Brazil that causes the Hurricane in Europe that sweeps away the elites.
I'm not saying that being an NPC is a good thing.
I'm not saying that it's a virtue to spout the media talking points.
I'm saying that there's no point in trying to inoculate yourself against it. It feels like a self-flagellating experience in ego.
I genuinely don't like Marvel Films, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Joe Biden, 90 Day Fiance or the Big Bang Theory. I am not at any point going to convert over to them. They all make me cringe. I'm not about to change my Facebook profile to a Ukraine Flag, a LGBTQ Flag. But I still have Facebook like a NPC. But I don't see a point in hating other mainstream things just because that's "what NPCs do". I'm still aware that these superficial gestures make no tangible difference in the plight of Ukranians, or questioning teenagers, or transitioning trans people - because I am utterly resigned to the Hellscape. You can't change anything.
I'm going to NPC when it's convenient, I'll say the platitudes, I'll do normie things.
Anything that expedites my personal happiness or those I care about. That's about all I can do.
I have no agency.
I am not narcissistic enough to think that if I somehow am a 'rebel' it'll change everything.
You may think that I've been finally brainwashed, that I've been deluded and tricked into thinking I have no agency. Which is sweet, because it means you still have hope. It's optimistic to think I'm brainwashed.
But I know I have no agency. That's the scary thing. They didn't need to brainwash me.

It’s bleak: to look back and think about what went so wrong. There is no single moment responsible for my fate; just a succession of small banalities that culminated on an anticlimactic, ever-present misery.
Hating oneself - hating for a very long time, even before the decade long succession of mistakes and failures started - wears a person away bit by bit. The only difference between then and now is that hate started sharing more space with despair and disappointment.
There’s also gratitude: for all the good fortune that has been given and all the precious and delicate moments upon which we feel Alive. They cover the world with meaning, no matter how insignificant such meaning may look to an outsider’s perspective.

>I could change something but I'm weak hence no willpower.
That's a good start, you're open to the possibility of changing.
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but don't some people see willpower as analogous to a muscle? If you use it strenuously, it gets stronger?
I am aware of a opposing theory, that willpower is a finite resource closely related to blood glucose and as such aside from diet (or drugs) you can't increase will power, instead you should try and remove things that drain it: stuff like stress, lack of sleep, deliberations or will-power intensive and difficult tasks.
Then there's maybe your problem isn't willpower at all? Imagine if you had a magic pill that if you swallowed would give you the willpower to change things? What would you change? What would be the first step to changing it? Why can't you do it now with the paltry willpower you have now?
But simply put: surely there's something you can be doing to make yourself smarter or better. Something relatively effortless that doesn't require willpower. In fact you owe it to yourself to find it, because being even marginally better is tautologically better than not.

Every big thing is done by doing a million small things first. Even the small changes matter - even if 100% of you is a train wreck, changing 1% of you, at least, is an improvement.

I know you'd want to make a total and complete change, but that's simply not possible. No willpower or even with lots of willpower.
Isolate one habit of yours that you're most dissatisfied with and use whatever resource you can to stop that. As I said, better a better version of yourself is always going to be preferable to who you are now: it's tautological statement. Don't get too ambitious either. If that one habit is too hard, then find a smaller habit. Anything will do as long as it has tangible rewards.

I'd say it absolutely is.
Here's another idea, who are three people you admire. What traits do they have, better yet what behaviors do they exhibit? Try and describe them with verbs. You don't need to share who those people are, but it might be useful to share what those behaviors are.
You should know where I'm going with this: you find a way to take on or do those behaviors yourself in your own life.
Now I realize you're probably disinclined to do this because you think "aww what's the point" and as I said, because your life will be better.
You want to be better right? Even a little bit must be less suffering than now right?
Why would you want to pass up the opportunity to avoid suffering?

I have to go. but I want to leave you with some homework, it's pretty generic stuff.
You can take your choice of three exercises, you only need to do one
1. List three people you envy, and what they do (using verbs) that you wish you could do
2. Go through the Wikipedia article of the Nicomachean Ethics and find 3 virtues you think would make the most difference in your life if you had them
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicomachean_Ethics#Book_IV._The_second_set_of_examples_of_moral_virtues
3. Of all your flaws, what are the three habits you think are giving you the most pain. If you can't think of any, look back over the last 2-4 days of your life. What are things you could have done 'better' if you were smarter or better. Specific events, choices, activities, ways of going about things: what were they? What went wrong?
Part two: you take the results of the exercise of your choice. And you write down on a piece of card something with the formula of
>I am going to be more of X. Whenever A happens I will start doing X by...
For example
>I am going to be more gregarious. Whenever someone acknowledges me in public, I am going to start being gregarious by at the very least smiling, having 'open body language', meet their gaze. And if brought into conversation speak to them with a chirpy or inviting tone.
>I am going to be less messy. Whenever I am finished with something, I am going to either clean it or put it in it's proper storage place

They always hate their culture, they always want something "new" and "individual" but they just rehash the same crap al the time, they're always depressed and mentally ill, they take "exotic" stuff and just make it white but they think it's so cool. What a trainwreck of a culture. And to think how great white culture was just a few centuries ago. Embarrassing and pathetic.

Chads also tend to come from good families that are financially well off and have large social networks, their parents probably had lots of parties at their house so they are exposed to that environment early on. Not only that, joining sport teams in school usually helps a lot, they're set up for success from the get go.That's why the popular kids growing up usually share a lot of the same characteristics.

Guys who are incel grow up disadvantaged in numerous ways. Their parents were probably friendless losers or weirdos, poor, etc. They're pretty much set up to fail from the start, although not always physically speaking. A poor household environment breeds losers.

Only after I’ve sobered up and matured a little I understood how tremendously my parents fucked me up. Other than food, shelter and tuition fees I’ve been left to my own devices at 16, despite major anxiety disorder and budding addiction. They let me make every retarded decision imaginable and provided 0 advice how to deal with the mess. Why? Before their divorce I was the best student in class and immersed myself in video games to deal with stress, no misbehaving. I suspect they genuinely hate me.

Part 2 "What is consciousness?"

Every material phenomena is a thought in the mind of God.

The soul is one such phenomena, a monad (most fundamental phenomena).
To create a soul, imagine an empty shell of matter implanted with abstract information.
The soul is a substantial entity with self-referentially knowing. It knows that it knows.
So it possesses or has been implanted with the idea of its own knowing.

If the awareness is directed upon itself, it produces another idea of self-knowing within the first idea, and becomes more expansive. The process can repeat itself.

I do not generally watch a lot of movies, so it surprised me how fascinated I was by Edward Yang's YI-YI. Even though it's three hours long, I've watched it countless times. Now I understand what Flaubert meant by "book about nothing."
It begins with a wedding and a baby crying, symbols of beginning, and ends with a funeral. Love, death, growing up, growing old, making mistakes, thinking back on your mistakes, your kids experiencing those things on thier own. It even has a dialogue on cinema, defining and commenting on itself. It's sublime.

Today I realized that I struggle with treating all information like it's important
I try to encompass everything, all the time, and it renders it all meaningless
It makes me look smart insofar it's a mark of intelligance to accumulate knowledge
But it makes me look stupid insofar it's a mark of intelligence to wield knowledge
It makes me *feel* stupid. But I can't stop. I have this intense self loathing that I don't know how to live. I see all kinds of idiocy around me, but they read like happy fools. And wiser insofar that happiness is an indicator of intelligence.
I am a fool, and I am aware of it. I choose it.

Part 3. "Maitri"
The intuitive passion felt in the heart chakra for a lover contains a subliminal desire.
This desire is heart-warming.

It is a general benevolence : kindness and compassion.
It is a wish for a state of pure contentment in the subject.
It is a wish for no unfulfilled desires or sadness.
It is a wish for pure joy, or nothing but joy to be experienced. It is a wish for all your desires to be met.
It leads one to melting in sympathetic jubilation.

Romantic Love leads one to a state of blissful contentment. It makes you think you CAN have everything you want.

Clearly this is possible, as God intended man to live in a state of noble contentment. "I want nothing but to be good and do good."

He stands, unwavering, unflinching, unmoved. With one paw cupping the top of his white picket fence post, he stares out into the abyss with unbridled patience. The overhead cosmos continues its cycle, with periods of whiteness, then darkness, moving ever onward as the Earth continues its shifts in orbit. The masses of white stars fly overhead, their milky elixir makeup the innards of the cosmos; it holds him as the placenta cradles life’s first breaths and movements towards the inevitable. He is cloaked in darkness, a pin-striped suit is wrapped around what we would call a body-like form, but it conceals much more than flesh and bone. A tip of his bowler blocks his face, just enough that it reveals little more than his nose and teeth. A concealment of the soul’s windows hides the very notion of his true form, for those that stare past see and understand within an instant all there is to know, and all that should not be. With flesh, he’ll create, two masses melted and merged, the horror of his eyes gleaming, but he exists as one, for his creator is to be nameless, nameless for beings that regard humans much in the same way the amoeba is paltry to humans. This form none have yet seen, but it awaits the right time, biding continuously.
