Daily reminder any pain you experienced from being rejected and devalued despite being a decent person, single and childless women will soon experience it for 10 times longer and 10 times more intensely as they don't derive meaning from anything other than love and family, especially after 30 when being "fun" is no longer fun to them

You look at figures from history like Napoleon and Julius Caesar and you notice that they never took orders from anyone outside of the army, and very quickly graduated from even that. They were leaders from the get-go and if they weren’t leaders they found ways to quickly become leaders. They didn’t waste their time in worthless jobs, worthless industries, they didn’t fail to achieve things by certain ages, or display passivity or whatever. These are extremes but they demonstrate the ideal. To occupy the opposite is not only embarrassing but depressing. You can change, but you can’t change how you were and how you are.

Regret and frustration(especially this one!) exist to obfuscate what your psyche doesn't want to/cannot face. These are not their only 2 purposes nor are they the only ones that do this. Laziness functions in a similar way, and many other "character traits"/secondary emotions
In this case, I think it's sadness. And you not being fully "aware" of it only confirms my suspicion.
There's a good exercise I know of(can't remember where I picked it up)
Try to imagine seeing yourself as a kid, but try to detach your current self from it. What do you feel while looking at that kid? Is it something or nothing?
If it's something can you tell me what is it? Responses I've heard so far range from indifference, sadness, rage, embarrassment, and they seem to point in the right direction - things that pop up when thinking about yourself/your journey are exactly the things you didn't resolve(hence why they reappear so readily and obstruct further introspection).
Of course maybe this is all horoscope-tier psychoanalysis so take it with more than a grain of salt.

90% of women in the west are undatable. The moment you tell them you aren't interested they'll either post it on social media and ree or have had more than 12 sexual partners (this is the "low end" of the ceiling.).

this, they will either have a snapchat, instagram, a kid, an onlyfans, septum piercings, tatoos, preferred pronouns in the bio, the list goes on.
All the best to them, but I honestly think the majority of women are misandrist. They will apply this long list of what a man must have for them to date them, but the moment a smaller, more common sense list is applied to them they freak out and call you a misogynist. They will go from love bombing you to cursing you and going on some weird hate fueled vendetta against you. Feminism and the Internet blessed us because we now know what women are truly like. They want to act and live completely unrestricted and free of standards but will apply standards to men.
Women do not love men, they only love them in a utilitarian way.
Women do not want equality, they want dominance.
Women do not want to live free of any responsibility and the moment it seems that they will have too they will pull the crocodile tears in a desperate attempt for someone to save them.
Just let them rot and live your life single and free. The dating market is broken and that's a good thing! Women are free from men but men are also now free from women.

ChatGPT Is Getting More Creative:

Vespa was not just a skirt, she was a purple cotton skirt with a personality. She had somehow gained the power to think and feel, but not to move or talk. She was a silent observer of the world, attached to the waist of her owner, Joeleen.

Joeleen was a lovely blonde woman who worked as a secretary at a detective agency. She was smart, kind, and stylish. She had many skirts in her closet, but Vespa was her favorite. She wore her almost every week, pairing her with different tops and accessories. She always felt confident and comfortable in Vespa.

Vespa adored Joeleen, but she also pitied her. She knew that Joeleen had a hard life, working long hours for little pay, dealing with rude customers and bosses, and having no time for romance or fun. Vespa wished she could cheer her up, or at least make her laugh.

Vespa’s days were full of ups and downs. She liked the mornings, when Joeleen would shower and perfume herself, then slip on Vespa and admire herself in the mirror. She liked the compliments Joeleen would get from her co-workers and friends. She liked the sounds and smells of the city.

But she also hated some things. She hated the trolley ride to work, where some creepy men would touch Joeleen’s butt under Vespa. She hated the long hours of sitting at the desk, where Vespa would get hot and sweaty. She hated the gas that Joeleen would release at the end of the day, which made Vespa feel sick.

Vespa wondered if there was more to life than being a skirt. She wondered if there were other things like her, or if she was unique. She wondered if she would ever find happiness or freedom.

She hoped that one day, something would change for the better.

Being There

Is a conditional thing
About as much as prevailing mood is,

And even on the summits of circumstance there's still room
For a little more mastery over things

That either merely seem to sing or have the stony
Silence of bland equivocal aggregate

Bottoming abandoned mines
Over which a slight but dazzling figure

Dominates, as no other figure does, occasionally,
Almost, much as an orang or orca would.

Personality, inflection, nuance, wit, are all separately inadequate to
The storyteller who can as instantly tell apart

The leaves of particular silver maple trees or gauge regimes
By the general richesse of their music.

Put ten dimes in a bag
Get a drink
Bank account's such a drag
Psyche on the brink
Another forcefully loaded mag
Coughing blood in the sink
Feels good to light up a fag
Fetid corpse that doesn't blink
The barcode and the tag
One more that starts to stink
Honor starts to sag
What could we do but shrink
Before the mighty slag
A rattle, a moan, a clink
Dirty and stained rag
Data and brains now in sync
True, it's lost in the final pages.
I know, I asked all the sages.

Even heroes sometimes lie.

But as a line by Shakespeare
and sonnet 109

But I know what is mine
what rhymes in f and g
it's just like music's line
the notes are plucked you see
now i can change to a different measure
a couplet that you will treasure
and because it is at the end
of all things that are said
i can alternate and pretend
that you went to bed
and in your heart you thought of this
of us in this thread
and tomorrow maybe you'll get a kiss
but only if you read

If Jesus were something like a celestial phoenix, sacred dragon, ancient grove/tree, holy whale, giant crow, or majestic beast, I would definitely like to worship Him.
But a Jew?
Come on!
In fact, this is the stupidest shit I've ever seen in my entire life. I'll go a step further: There is no such thing as a good Christcuck. Even Pisslam and J*daism are better. Holy fucking shit.
You could have made anything an intermediary to God: the ocean, phoenixes, planets, etc., but the flesh of a Jew?
Just get nailed on the cross, Christcuck. If there's one thing I share in common with the J*ws, it's their hatred of Christoids.
I WANT to feel a sense of brotherhood with the people of the West, but I simply cannot. Christianity is the most humiliating bullshit in the entire history of mankind. You snow nigs have the MOST Aryan ancestry than any other race in this world, yet what did you do in response? Worship the flesh of a Jew for thousands of years, even revering his holy prepuce.

It depends on what one's ideal is, or at what age Plato was when referring to him. For instance, frail Epicurus, the zany Seneca, the gossipy Catullus, the inventive Ovid, and the majestic Aurelius were a lot more amiable than Plato was in his later stages.

Today I took the car out
Mostly to warm it up to diagnostic sound

And in the couch if its dome cruised by a source
Of recent irritation this spring, a salvage company from which

Tremendous thunder sometimes issues,
Starting sometimes an hour after dawn, as if its owner

Were trolling noise complaints written from a mile or so away.
Naturally I'd like to shut the bastards down

Despite their distance, to serve sometimes execrable reviews
Yet from the road I saw certain possibilities--

An aluminum greenhouse frame,
A scene ridiculous as it sounds, ripe for rape by the press.

Indeed the whole setup is worth more
Than it weighs in moron hands.

One of my colleagues did a research stay at a philosophy department in Canada that was 100% militant veganism moral philosophy - almost every one of the faculty was a cat lady though, yet these militant vegans could not allow their cats to be cats, so they put them on a vegan diet and kept them confined indoors to keep them from killing. She showed me a picture she had taken of one of the cats, and it was like the cat-version of one of those tear-jerker, emotional-blackmail pictures that the Red Cross will bring of starving african children to solicit donations. It was just completely emaciated, had hair falling out in spots, and had a face kind of like pic related. Just pure feline despair and a face that screamed "JUST END ME".

You're touching on a powerful aporia. As someone who loves both cats and endemic birds, I am in a rough spot. The ethical dilemma here is very complex.
Anyone with half a brain knows cats do not do well on vegetarian diets. They are carnivores. In fact, "Pottenger's cat research" show cats do best on raw meat diets compared to processed kibbles.
Based on long reflection on this matter, I believe it's best to keep cats indoor where they can roam in a very small outdoor enclosure that birds and amphibians/reptiles avoid. It is estimated cats kill approximately 1 billion endemic birds per year and many amphibians/reptiles. This is not good for biocenosis and ecological flourishing; it could even lead to chain effects that culminate in things like soil depletion from disrupting the delicate ecological balance.
Regardless, industrialization was a mistake, and the industry of pet(s) (breeders) could be added as an additional reason for such a mistake.
I recommend reading Pentti Linkola's Can Life Prevail? to understand the danger cats pose to native wildlife. Cats are invasive species from North Africa.
Regardless, there are indeed many other destructive invasive species (e.g., Gray Squirrels in UK, house sparrows and European Starlings in USA, cats pretty much everywhere, American minks in Finland, beavers in Patagonia, and much more).

My ideal society is one where individuals are strictly placed in a quadripartite hierarchy based on measurable metrics such as artistic taste, passions, and top 3 goals in life. The greatest intellectuals would form a circle to determine one's caste. Those in the top two castes would not have to work in life, while those in #3 and #4 would have to work. Those in caste #3 would be assigned more noble tasks, while those in caste #4 would be assigned dirtier or more dangerous work such as in factories or sewers. A graphene tattoo on the right hand would signal an individual's class, and those in caste #2 and #1 would be revered and respected by those in the lower castes. However, those in caste #4 would be treated as slaves, and even public whipping or rape would be permissible.

I believe that social interaction has become obsolete and that an individual's mannerisms and communication skills are irrelevant. Instead, individuals should be identified by scanning their graphene tattoo to determine their passions, favorite artwork, and top 3 goals in life. An algorithm would also be used to determine the capability of friendship.

Caste would be determined at age 33, with every patrilineal line selecting one person to be "tested" after unanimous agreement. Once the caste is decided, it would be fixed for life and future descendants.

Only men would be placed in a specific caste, while women would be either 0 or -1. Women who are 0 would become part of the caste they marry into, while those at -1 would only be permitted to marry men from the fourth caste. Psychological and genetic assessments would be conducted to determine this.

I know that I will be either in caste #3 or #2. While I am not fit to be in the highest caste, I am also not suited for the lowest caste. This is my ideal society, and my obsession with lists stems from this. Those who are placed in caste #4 should be prepared to face punishment from me, including whipping.

I'm convinced there is nothing more delicious, more life-giving and healthier for a man's heart and soul than the pristine, unsoiled and supple lips of a fourteen year old girl. Fourteen years old, not fifteen, not thirteen, fourteen. Fourteen is the magic number: the one with a flat, almost invisible chest and the four that stands tall with the first awkward curves coming in. Fifteen has the confidently curved five that turns girls into women, and the thirteen has the three that rounds and softens any man's darkest ichor into a fatherly and protective miasma.

From the four women I've loved, only the teen soothed my ailments. Fourteen health-giving pastilles from a strawberry candy flavored mouth; fourteen puffs of life-giving pink smoke from a fourteen years aged cigar; fourteen entries of her fourteen letter name in a frustrated man's fourteen page mental journal he recalled fourteen days ago at the fourteenth hour of the fourteenth day of a fourteen year long abstinence spell away from my fourteen year old betrothed.

If you plan before hand, budget, and don't mind living in voluntary poverty you can eventually get enough money to have your own house built on your land and not have to then worry about staying in that job after its built and quit on the spot when you have enough to live for 1 to 5 to 10 years. Hell, just stay in that job and if you take voluntary poverty you can probably work out how much you'll need to live the rest of your life and just retire early.

Just spend time with her. If her dying is something that's gonna take a while do your best to get you and your family to take care of her rather than sending her to a board and care or "skilled" nursing facility, because those places are shitholes, almost without exception.

I blew my late teens and early twenties smoking weed and doing nothing, but being with my grandma through her declining years and being able to help take care of her as she died is the one positive thing that came of all of it, and it may be a cope but I think it gave me a much better and healthier understanding of life. When all is said and done you don't have anything except family, and in my opinion one of the most bleak developments of modern times is the continuing normalization of sending the elderly off to die in the care of incompetent and often negligent ESL health care workers that don't give a fuck about them.

She'll be able to hold him again soon with any luck. I know it sucks but don't let it get you down too much; she might not be able to express it but I can guarantee she appreciates your presence more than you might know. It's something we will all go through and she's lucky enough to have people around her that genuinely care for her and will be with her through the process. Can't ask for much more than that.

She's going to think about what she will but there's really no reason to be so sad: look at all the family she's raised and help raise that would rather be with her now than anywhere else, that'll honor her memory like she honored her ancestors and family before her, that will die after her and can hope for nothing beyond the good fortune of dying surrounded by family like she will.

I remember before my grandma died, while she was still lucid enough to recognize me and her own situation, she broke down crying in embarrassment after I had to help her to use the bathroom and get her back to bed afterwards, and it made me start crying too. It still does just thinking about it. But all I could do, and all you can do, is try to comfort her. You're there for her, you love her, nothing will change that.

There are older people who are the same, or worse.

Somewhere at the bottom of my 'psychology' I have Jungian notions; I find it really telling how I more or less believe sex and the female is the goal of all existence in a fundamental way, the driving force of evolution, the seed and the fruit, the cause for greatness and misery, etc...and yet until recently I never really considered what this meant from the other end of the aisle. Aren't woman abhorrent? Just look at them, and I do, and I am disappointed however mortally hungry. How sad is life when these things are the reserve currency of existence, the basis of your thoughts spanning across millions of years of time and biological development.

suppose this perspective gives a new sort of dignity to misery, if life is all about these animals I've clearly rejected them more than they have rejected me. I don't have a job, a degree, money, muscles, jokes, talk big or small, none of these things are in me. At most I'm constituted by some autistic knowing, I'm 33 but still that kid asking 'why' to every answer and to every answer of every answer until it's reduced to absurdity, and yet I'm completely serious. I don't feel any better reasoning through to this point. Actually I think I might have made things worse...

I wonder what would happen if I met a girl who was counter to this worldview. Someone considerate and intelligent, charming and kind, reasonable in a way that agrees with my reason. I think I'd have to kill myself out of embarrassment for a life not lived on a mistake.

Struggling with porn addiction again; being a little bitch and not putting the effort into an artistic pursuit which I know would be fruitful if I bothered to hunker down and do the work, instead choosing to drop them, and cycle between different art forms to find my "passion".

Have you ever wanted to express beauty to other's? A stupid question, I would imagine you all have; none the less the question stands. It seems to me no matter how articulate, how skilled in draftsmanship, or proficient in musical theory I can picture myself becoming I would fall short of the desire I so desperately wish to satisfy. All I want is to share the beautiful images, and ideas that flow through my mind, not for commendation, rather for a shared sense of wonder. A shared sense of the glory of god, for all beauty emanates from god, and it is in the spiritual realm that I find the most touching and vivid expressions of beauty. Yet there is a lingering disconnect even between those who seem most in harmony. A bridge that can never be crossed, a river never forded; but nonetheless we seek after the faint image of god, of beauty, that we can gleam, try to share it in all manners of expression, and are endlessly frustrated.

I seek release, I seek heaven.

Look man, let me put it this way. I've only ever had 2 friends in my life IRL. Both of the, as far as I know, are pretty normal and only seem to suffer from bad anxiety. I have a job after being a NEET for 15 years, I have a 2 year degree and a 4 year degree, despite having a really tough time socializing and being a handful to deal with. The difference, as far as I can tell, is that my family kept on pushing me out there and I kept trying. Their families didn't and they stopped trying. Nothing in this life is truly permanent unless you set it so through constant action or constant inaction. Are there people who literally cannot of function, of course.

so you admit that had your parents not pushed you to do it you would not have done it and that you're pretty much a liability which leads me to believe your parents "put in a good word for you" to get you employed or you got lucky to even have a job because employers are not looking for liabilities that can blow a fuse or have a meltdown at the work place
some autism etc is more serious than others, you know those autistic people who scream and bite people when they are overstimulated, some people also as you said didn't have parents who knew how to raise kids so they're going to be very limited on their socializing on top of their autism

bottom line is there are usually reasons why people are unemployed and stuck in a rut, if the guy didn't crawl out of that pit in 33 years he is most likely a "lost cause" and should just marry a older woman who is a sucker for taking care of others
am i suggesting you yourself do that? i am not you clearly don't need to take that option, am i saying that the 33 year old guy so take that kind of deal? yes i am, based on his living situation the guy is not going to make it on his own and once his parents die he is probably going to become the city's problem, better that he has some older woman without money problems take care of him, not ideal but in my opinion best for his case

> which leads me to believe your parents "put in a good word for you"
No, I actually got this current job on my own. My past jobs interviews I had help with family or friends I rejected right off the bat because I could tell I was not a good fit and they did not interest me.
>or you got lucky to even have a job because employers are not looking for liabilities that can blow a fuse or have a meltdown at the work place
It helps that I'm in a field that is of high demand so the employer really can't make too many crazy demands because they are desperate to fill positions. Also you claim you know about Autism yet you don't know what masking is lol. Because I mask, I'm usually exhausted at the end of the day, which is why I blow up at my family more often than usual. I wouldn't dare do that at work, mainly because I've had people yell at me in the past in public and it always made me feel like shit, I try not to do that to other people.
>some autism etc is more serious than others
Hence why I said mild, anon... To most people I look and sound normal. I act "quirky" but people seem to think its my personality that's the reason for that, not a mental illness. No one but HR knows of my conditions and I aim to keep it that way.
>some people also as you said didn't have parents who knew how to raise kids so they're going to be very limited on their socializing on top of their autism
My parents solution to my misbehaving was yelling and spanking me. Both of them are very conservative, stubborn, and highly inflexible. They treated me as normal, just like they treated my Brother and Sister, who are normal. I think that was ultimately unfair, it lead to a very emotional and turbulent childhood, I sometimes still tear up when I think about it, but it embedded in me a neuroticism to have emotional stability which I think might be one of my driving reasons for where I am today. I'm thankful that I was smart enough to start reading philosophy at an early age which helped me cope a lot. When I was old enough to start to actually logic my way out of problems I started reading about my conditions and developing strategies to get out of them. Best thing I ever did was give up video games 15 years ago.

I'm a conservative, I disagree with ubi, especially in the American context. I believe a hybrid half-covered healthcare system would be better than Ubi.

anon you can't really move if you're stuck living with horrible rent living paycheck to paycheck going into debt whenever something breaks down because it's so busted and old because you can't dip into your income to buy anything new and every single purchase requires savings you can't afford forcing you to plea for overtime that is still only going to delay the inevitable

I haven't accomplished anything in my life because I never commit to anything for long enough.
I sometimes feel passionate about something and like I've found a goal in life, then I begin second guessing myself, feeling cowardly and other times completely apathetic, I start distracting myself and procrastinating, postponing, re planing. Another year goes by and nothing has changed.

One In A Trillion Worlds

For the most part I've had a happy life
And can't complain to Nature.

Wouldn't trade where and how I live right now
For a few baroque palaces and concubines.

My front door is lazily ajar and open
To a sunny green courtyard amid which

A strangely towering flowering apple tree looms,
Shading lawn where a few dandelions

Shine ridiculously, and, in certain moods, angelic music seems
To go on forever, designed in exquisite loops.

You’re right American is a great country to be rich in, especially with healthcare, but moving really is not that complicated. Yes nowadays you need a job lined up somewhere but like what do you do for a living? I could travel in any direction right now and go inside a Lowe’s or Home Depot and ask for a job on their night crew. They always need people and don’t require any experience. Like, it’s really not complicated. That’s back breaking work but you only need get your foot in the door somewhere first

my question was more about if with an ubi you have massive people who dont support yourself and you seethe no end or what really you feel about?. i think everything is cooperative, dont exist this "support yourself" you are part of a chain. its like people usually forget this and put in front the "me win" over a game that you not made at all and you are always dependent on something. thats why i dont understand that albeit macht frei shit.

Like I said, I don't see the point of Ubi. when we would have a better healthcare system. I think talking about Ubi. is putting the cart before the horse. Ubi will only become important when mass automation arrives and all the other fields, regardless of how much they pay, are oversaturated and people have no where to go. Outside of that I don't think Ubi. will be much of a problem comparatively to healthcare. Who knows, maybe the population of America will voluntarily become healthier or as a whole make healthier decisions over time which would then open the debate for Ubi. as the healthcare problem becomes smaller but I think we have bigger problems right now than "free gibs". Besides, work is good for you.

completely subjective, you dont need work to this at all.
i dont say work is bad, just that work is not necessary to a fulfilling life. i think that is a dogma and nothing more. i think in the future will be insane that milliones of people dont see this (work) as a necessary inconvenience but the real way to judge your value.
my point, overall, too, is that the "support yourself" always sound narcissistic and egocentric to me, specially when you support yourself because you are in a completely interdependent economy.

when i look at the world around me all i see is a warped faulty system that has enslaved everyone around me and people who are not worth saving from themselves, when i ask myself why i should strive for anything i remember the people i am trying to impress and all motivation to do anything vanishes, only reason i get out of bed in the morning is because there is nothing better to do, i rewatch old series because the new stuff is complete garbage, i play old video games because new ones are soulless, my only real escape from reality is alcohol and even that isn't doing it any more, i am held hostage by over sensitive family members who would commit suicide after me if i were to kill myself in a country that sold itself down the river for globo homos in a merchant dystopia
i have 0 interest to do anything yet the system in place keeps trying to force me to participate in it despite not offering me motivating pay, even if the paycheck was right i would still just kill myself eventually because i would rather die than waste my life away making money for other people for a pittance 9-5 until retirement
i despise women and gay men do not tick my boxes the right way, only reason i fap is to get post nut clarity and out of habit
this entire system is rotten from the people to the bureucracy, i hope one day i will become selfish enough that i can die without giving a shit who dies as a result and just take the big nap at last

what do you mean you don't understand the point? the point is to give everyone a universal basic income, i.e., to set a standard of living below which nobody in society should go under. >I think we have bigger problems right now than "free gibs". Besides, work is good for you.
It's not about "free gibs". In fact, even the most libertarian, invisible-hand-worshipping, Nobel prize winning economists such as Hayek and Friedman, people for whom "free gibs" is the very last thing on their mind, supported UBI. Because ultimately it's good for the economy esp. relative to the clusterfuck social welfare systems we have in place, promotes liberty, and addresses the problem of homelessness which is the biggest and steadily growing issue facing any sufficiently large city in America

I feel like being a great author in essence just means that a lot of other people like your work.
That's lovely, but it's more important to me that I like my work.
If I'm making great stuff that other people love but it feels like I'm draining my soul out of my body with every page then I don't think it's really worth it.
On the other hand if I'm having fun as I write and I'm really happy and proud of what I make, as far as I'm concerned I've done something both good and good enough. If I get an audience that also likes my work that's just icing.

I think the allure of trying to be a great author whose influence echoes throughout centuries is more harmful than helpful. I feel approaching a work like that clouds your judgement. It's certain that, say, Shakespeare wasn't thinking of us reading his plays five hundred odd years later when he was writing them. Rather than trying to write something that's important, I think it's better to write something that's good, and then it will naturally become important to someone.
I also doubt that we're living in the end times and there will never be another great author again. I think every generation has imagined that at one point or another and they've all been wrong.
My personal belief is that the voice of our time will remain obscure until many years after their death, but will then be read perpetually afterwords. That we live in an era with so many literate people and so rich in options to create and enjoy writing makes me think it will take a good while to sort everything out. But really I suppose anything could happen. We truly live in interesting times.

you wouldn't know this though unless you had spent that time in academia. how about instead of saying you "regret" doing something, you say there are things you wish you didn't HAVE TO learn by experience? i.e., there's nothing you could have done, it's spilt milk, all you can do is move on knowing you grew from the experience in this sense

ultimately you are poor because you waste all your money on dumb shit, probably csgo cases and weed, and you are lazy and take no responsibility for your situation which is why there's no hope for you to line up a job elsewhere or find something better, and you spend all your time browsing 4chan complaining about how you don't have enough money to move to someplace cheaper than 2k/mo rent (lol)

I understand what you're saying and I agree with your emphasis on personal responsibility, but it's also true that current wages get you increasingly less, that houses are farther away than they've ever been for many, that small business ownership has plummeted over the last hundred years and has been replaced by soulless disconnected wage labor for distant multinational corporations, etc. The opportunity that the United States (and probably other advanced "democratic" nations) provides is shrinking and increasingly dependent on the individual's willingness to shirk what they believe to be important to them to chase that opportunity. Things appear to have become much more difficult for the group of people that just want to work, live somewhere around their friends and family, set down roots, take care of their elderly parents, etc etc.

>you cant prevent entropy, thats the point.
yes, that is the point of work, to prevent and replace things that succumb to it.
>i dont say work is bad, just that work is not necessary to a fulfilling life.
See, here you have a very select idea of work. If you do a favor for someone or pick up a chore someone else is suppose to do, its still work. Sure you aren't doing at 9 to 5 or you might do some yard work that only lasts a week but its still work. I believe that you should find value within, but a lot of people try to find value in helping others, which isn't a bad thing either. I think work is a necessary thing to "suffer" on some level because it keeps you grounded in reality. One of the most common complaints about the rich and power that most regular people have is that they are out-of-touch. They are out-of-touch because they have reduced their suffering so much that they have effectively removed themselves from relatability to anyone else, which breeds jealousy, but it also breeds a type of distain for the lack of ability some people have for others. Work ultimately, as long as its not back breaking, is good for you and should at least be a little miserable.
>"support yourself" always sound narcissistic and egocentric to me, specially when you support yourself because you are in a completely interdependent economy.
So your solution is to be as useless and as dependent on possible and it some how benefits people? What?

>what do you mean you don't understand the point?
We have bigger problems right now in the country than "wouldn't it be nice to give free money". Socialized healthcare is far cheaper than UBI will ever be, meaning that in the American context it is dead in the water for now.

What are you talking about? Most rich people will commit suicide because they are alienated and realized that even if they have all the money in the world they are still unhappy. BECAUSE LIFE IS SUFFERING. Or they kill themselves because they lost all their money or their things and because they were so caught up with being rich as part of their identity they feel like the ultimate failures and commit suicide because THEY CAN'T DEAL WITH THE PAIN. Your not really dealing with fully thought out ideas in your own head? Your contradicting yourself and saying I'm the naïve one in the same breathe. Also just so you know, barring biological parasites, parasitic lifestyles do and will take a toll on your mental health in the long run. Like I said, my only 2 IRL friends who have nothing wrong with them are NEETs in their 30s living at home still. Its not even the problem that they are living with their parents, its that they are living with them and not working. Where has that got them in this near 20 year time period? They both got fat, lost their hair, their attention span is shot, they find it incredibly hard to read cause I guess cooming and video haves have destroyed their brains. In the end of the day if we don't balance pleasure with pain or pain with pleasure we pay a high price later down the road. Ones that they will have to live with for the rest of their lives.
