Not sure why everyone wants me to strive for something, I can't think of anything that would make my life better right now at this very moment.

Considering that the future is an extension of now, and now I am satisfied, what is there more to do than grow old and die?

To strive would interrupt my satisfaction. To accept even more responsibility would fragment my energy. To be able to respond to the needs of something is to be responsible for it. To maintain my car or house or job, wife, kids, finances, friends, future, past, parents, body, etc.

Why should I live a more and more fragmented Life by being "reaponsible?"

By comparing myself with another I have found things, potentially desirable, that I don't have. By finding something that I don't have I have created a home in my life that I be satisfied until I fill, a privation in my psyche. By being told that I don't have something that I "should" by someone that I admire creates a privation in my psyche.

Why do we do this to ourselves? Why do we constantly strive when we can just as easily give up responsibility for everything but the minimum and remain satisfied?

If we stop moving are we afraid that we will die? Are we so afraid to face the reality of our death that we constantly need to chase one thing after another? We do attain wisdom after an accomplishment don't we.. not that of the goal, but of being dissilusioned of it's promise of satisfaction.

I said something to a girl on Tinder and she cancelled the match. It's been a long time since i've talked to women regularly and that made me think if i just don't know how to talk to them anymore

I'm honestly pretty sure talking to girls on tinder is bullshit, there's no way to build up a decent convo without body language to read, unless she's incredibly desperate. They do seem to care more about instagram though, I know people who only ever hook up with tinder chicks by adding them on instagram. Just take tons of photos of yourself planking and leaning off the edges of tall buildings.

I got downtown and roamed, hoping to find a bar to finally have a drink after five months. I wanted to watch the fight and be in the middle of people. But the streets were packed enough, and I wasn't paying twenty dollars to get in. Plus I talked to this cute girl while waiting for the bus. She had on a dress shirt over a shirt with no sides, and she wasn't wearing a bra. For some reason she was trying to fix her dress shirt and kept exposing the bottom of one bare breast. I realised I needed to ask her more questions, and once she started talking again she stopped messing with her shirt - and I couldn't pay attention to a word she said. Then the bus came and she didn't sit close to me. I think next time I'm going to have a drink at the bar and not go home alone.

I wasted so much potential. All because I wanted to fit in. By this point my brain is so unused that I think I'm actually becoming dumber by the day. I think about how intelligence can't really be gained, only lost. I could have learned languages or talents or many other things best learned as a kid, but instead I wasted my younger years on things that don't even matter now.
I suppose where I'm at now isn't so bad, but considering where I could be it's leagues off. I wonder if that even matters. However, if I were to have not given in I would not be fun to be around, thus likely making me less successful than I think I could have been.
I wonder why I care about where I "am in life". I'm quite content with having the ability to shitpost, food, and a roof over my head, but still I yearn for...more. More of what? I am uncertain. Probably money.
I know I'm not deep, believe me. I'm just putting words down that can't seem to leave my head in the hopes that maybe they'll stick here instead.
I may need to read self-help books, or something like it. Someone once told me they were a meme though. Life really doesn't seem too appealing by this point, though that may just be a brain chemical thing.
I've met so many people and so many of them have been unappealing. Do I just have high standards? Am I the/an asshole? I can't even ask because nobody gets to know me well enough before I make them leave. The ones I do like I end up pushing away because I fear that I'll taint them with my thoughts and attitude and personality issues. Even here I feel like I'll be persecuted for posting what I think. I haven't even read a book since 2013; why am I here?
Why did OP ask, anyway? Is this a meme on this board? I bet I look pretty autistic if that's the case. I don't even know why I care what some randoms on the internet I'll likely never converse with again think about me, an anon.
I'm gonna go to /mu/ now to see what's over there. Maybe something to help.

I had a dream a few nights ago that I, and some people around me whose faces I couldn't see, were plowing through a terrible storm. It was so bad that the wind was driving, and the clouds that blew around us were gray. We seemed to be very close to being totally blown away. When things seemed desperate, and the wind was at its strongest, I dropped to my knees and cried out, "Holy Mother Mary, have mercy on me!" Immediately the storm began to break apart. I looked up and it seemed that Mary herself was in the clouds, parting the storm. Then all became warm and sunny, and everything was at peace.

And then I woke up.

STEM major here, not a prodigal autist.

I just like building shit and learning math despite my constant fight to de-program myself from the public schooling I've endured.
I can't stand watching people waste away watching TV, playing video games, reading books, etc. and not making anything of it, it's just mindless consumption.
I hate to say this in public, but Atlas Shrugged influenced me to blow passive nihilism out my ass and do shit. I'm a pretty masculine-minded chick and I don't fit in well with the sperglords and the "I'm an engineering major because affirmative action gave me a full ride because I'm a dumb bimbo." types, but that's ok.
I can't really see myself working for Monsanto or other evil places wanting to hire people from my major, but what the fuck. I'll have enough technical knowledge to sip beers from my homebrewery on my subsistence farm as the globalist machine collapses or something.
Hopefully.

When I'm on my deathbed I know I'm going to have lots of regrets. I spend all my life alone and overthinking everything but once I'm at deaths door I'm going to hate myself. Once I'm there I will realize that I'm wasting my life on stuff that doesn't matter. Every time I weighed up the pros and cons of a situation I was just losing more precious time.Even knowing all this doesn't mean I can prevent it. It should motivate me to live a more risky and extroverted life but I just can't. It's impossible to make the first move. I'm screaming on the inside but on the outside I am blank.

He cares about me, I care about him but we're both too afraid to do anything about it. Time will tell, but when we're drunk we can't leave each other's side and we talk about everything.

First class of the year on Monday morning, 9 AM sharp. Video Production and History of Television for the cinema major, Microeconomics for the business minor, and Child Psychology and Latin as general requirements. We register two different websites of meaningless shit for Microeconomics even though we already use Canvas as a university. It's just so they can make money with tertiary-turned-primary garbage which under 5% of the students will consult, and I won't be in that number.

I took years of Latin in high school, but I'm probably rusty and should review some shit, like how the future-tense verbs switch from -bo... to present-sounding -am... shit when you go into the third conjugation. Also I need to brush up on that gerunds and gerundives and that shit because I remember nothing about it other than that it was a thing.

I feel the same way about people at uni. Everyday in the computer room I see the Asians around me watching brainless shit while I do work. I think what bugs me is that I feel shame and embarrassment when I watch that shit but they watch it with no affect to their conscious. They have no idea how humiliating it should be that they watch dumb you-tubers all day instead of doing something productive or being with friends. Their not very masculine at all but I don't think they even recognize that its a bad thing or that it could be a bad thing. They are so lucky that they were born in a time where masculinity is seen as toxic.
It scares me that I'll most likely spend the rest of my life surrounded by these soulless robots.

People think they're too good these days. We realized how big the world is and how we can be whatever we want because there's a million gods anyways. But culture and religion used to be like the talents and specs that have been tested by entire societies for millions of years. In order to deviate from one, you typically had to be really smart. Now it's 2017 and every starchild is a fucking genius so we have warriors speccing into sub optimal regen talents because they want to be a healer. Which is fine, but we've developed such an ethic of care that if it fails miserably, it's still going to be supported and invested in. We've fucked around on this planet for years and it's been great, but now that it's actually dying and that we can see this, I don't think we should be making such inefficient, fun-zone raid comps.

>tfw extremely hazy and opaque episodic memory
I have virtually zero memory of my magnanimous grandmother who I loved dearly. I mean, I can recall very vague things like how she fed me bologna sandwiches and minutiae like that, but I don't remember a single solitary event regarding her or a single thing she's said to me. Same with everyone else who's came and gone and my life: my childhood dog, the few friends I had, etc. All vanished. It all might as well not have happened. If I live to a certain point, this is what is going to fucking happen when my mother passes, my father, and the several (read: 8) people who are still around in my life right now. When and if I turn 64, I won't be able to reminisce fondly about the good old days and the people I had good times with, because I'll have nothing to go by: my memory will be failing me and as it stands even right now momentos evoke no feelings in me. It will just be one foggy mess.

The original opening sentence of my post was: what's the point in living when I have an extremely hazy and opaque episodic memory? That's melodramatic obviously. But I kind of do feel that way; on top of all the other bullshit going on with me, a poor memory certainly doesn't help my case. Fuck, man.

Before the summer, I used to have a slightly beneficial way of life. I indulged in some ways, but still kept myself limited in diet, satisfactory in exercise, and even took a small interest in reading and learning. At the start of the summer, I joined a club team and trained with the team throughout the season vigorously. During this period I took on a very beneficial way of life and my interest in and self-improvement and reading seemed to only grow. My life seemed to finally turn into something with potential. Now, with the season over, I'm worse off than I was before the season. All I do is eat, browse the internet, and play vidya. I'm even watching TV, which I previously hated. It's like I devolved ten-fold after evolving. What the hell has become of me? How the fuck do I bring myself to become what I was in season? Why did I retreat to a worse way of life instead of maintaining will and continuing my journey of improvement?

After writing this, though, I'm looking at myself and my actions through the brain-fog for the first time since the season ended. I'm realizing that I'm too comfortable right now, and that is what's causing this adhesion to this lifestyle right now. The only way to jump-start myself out of it without having to join another team or get some external support is condemn it all internally. I'm just gonna have to continue telling myself how much of a worthless piece-of-shit I am right now, but bring it up 10, maybe 100 notches to hopefully create enough discomfort in this disgusting life of consumption and laziness. I don't know if it will work, but I'm just happy to have some introspective thought come out of my slothful self for the first time in weeks.

To soul's essence irritate,
If by dozen a flower fellows

Dictate: A man shall never change
Whose heart stoned by his creation
Chill, and in his stature statue range
Falls none all well my ideal idyll,
May to erase with but each fiddle,
Of plucked string, with heart did
nothing nert left felt as hearth
Heat my dead cold hand
By it's ineptitude forsaken,
To shock him once and receive hither
The poison and remedy twice the better.

But I leer and lament, when
once whose idea cement
Like his love whose beautiful
Golden flows and locks
Luster like Nubian gold
Who strongly less hold
Remain etched with brow
On twice a golden fiddle,
In double the strength of such statue,
To give partaken pleasantness
The partook, and erase but my hard
Mind of flown tepidness lovely unkind,
Unknown and betrayed, by own hand
To see this stature me in the sun forsaken light.

America 2045: Final Utopia
by Shlomo Shekelstein

"Aight lil' niggas. Today we learns about - the Second American Civil War!" the teacher says. He turns on the boombox and starts rapping.

"Long ago bruthas they ain't so free
Caged in a land of racist hypocrisy
Racist Nazis tryin' to keep a brutha down
Shootin' us up, puttin' us in the ground

Finally bruthas say, we had enough
Time to fight, organize and stuff
Jewish brutha come up with a final solution
Get rid of that old racist ass Constitution"

"Nigga that ain't real rap nigga, what wrong witchu!" Lamar, the nerdy kid next to me yells. "What wrong witchu nigga?!"

The teacher ignores him and continues.

"Racist ass honkies didn't like dat one bit
They be all up in arms startin' Civil War and shit
Bruthas fightin' hard but gettin' outgunned
They prayin' to God for help from someone

God heard they prayer and sent the Chinese, Japanese
Zionese, rebel if you please, European, Judean, Korean
Racist motherfucks found out they was wrong
Thought Russia would Red Dawn, instead they got da bomb"

The class is whooping and hollering. Lamar is shaking his head.

"Nigga that was a whole lotta bullshit, what you jus' said, you know that donchu nigga?" he says as the music stops.

"Aight niggas," the teacher says. "Now you know how this works, its 12 o'clock. Every white lil' muthafucka up in here gotta go an' apologize to the whooole class for racism."

I've found a new escape: documentaries. My favorite topics are society and culture, and particularly interesting are education and love. Minimal narration, minimal editing is always best. Few jump cuts, slow pacing, and plenty of interviews that allow you to really get to know the subjects. Once you begin to understand their lives, you feel the same emotions they feel, and get wrapped up in another place, in another time. This is one of the only occasions I can experience genuine emotion, and it's nice. Music used to do it too, and visual novels, but not anymore. Latching onto those things made it painful when they went away, so now, I just accept it when it comes.

If eromanga used narrator bubbles to explain away the effects and sensations of sex, rather than have the characters mouth off constantly, they would be 350$ more respectable.

Don't you mean "telos" my dear prophet.

>>9960049
We've been cucked by post-christian thought into believe the "natural" world is one of struggle and competition when in reality animals and plants are really too dumb to give a damn, let alone have an idea of what's going on, much less judge it. In reality nobody (not even yourself) is watching you masturbate, and when you realize this, like 90% of the drive to masturbates goes, because you haven't been actually touching your penis all this time, but your Penis.

I mean think about it: Is there anything more sad than being told "no, thanks"? "No" would have been enough, it would have been a thing, it happened, you're hurt, you feel rejected, insufficient; but "thanks". "Thanks". As in, "it's not you it's me". As in, "you're good, it's just, I'unno..." And she doesn't know. She's just going with it. Just goin' with the flow. Fish in the water. And then you're like "no fucking wonder people make webs; no shit they get tangled up". I always thought no one with a well-functioning brain would gamble seriously. But it's all luck. It's all fucking luck. Fuck luck man. Would give up the chance of winning to not have the chance of losing. That's logic. Eats itself up. The Pequod sinking. No one remains, it's all gone. Zero.

And then it somehow keeps going.

I hate 4chan but I can't stop coming here. Started lurking when I was 16, and I'm 25 now. There have been periods where I've stopped, some lasting years, but there's always something that draws me back. At this point I don't even know what that something is. Nostalgia, maybe? Habit? I feel as if the acidic wit I used to enjoy and appreciate so much has become little more than repetitive shitflinging, people participating in the same arguments day after day, sleepwalking through their own misery and unable to wake up.

As someone who has been here for so many years, I can say for a fact that the quality of posts has gone down. Sure, you'd have people spouting, 'Nigger this, nigger that,' but every thread didn't turn into a debate on fucking race relations. Everyone was sad and lonely, but it wasn't so much in the forefront. Now, the supposed topics of the boards are windowdressing for the unending circlejerk about how we're different and shunned because of it. That should be a fucking given, an unspoken assumption; look at where we are. Even /r9k/ used to be about playing witty games with the robot, instead of whatever it is now. I remember when people were just discovering >tfw, and while it was fun at first it's been the worst thing to happen to this website.

So what am I gonna do? Post this, watch it for awhile for replies which it won't get, and then swear off 4chan, yet again. And a couple of months will go by, and I'll think, "I wonder what's happening on /lit/," and next thing I know I've spent three weeks arguing with teenagers over whether or not women are people.

>Être et avoir (2002)
Centers on a classroom for young children in rural France, and consists mainly of candid footage with one or two interviews interspersed. It's worth a watch to learn about the educational technique and setting alone, but where it really excels is in building an atmosphere reminiscent of how childhood actually is. No politics, no romance, and nothing in your world but your immediate surroundings. It's a charmed life, and if you're like me, your gut reaction is to think how sad it is that the rest of life is nothing like it, and rather disappointing as a whole. When you're immersed into the film, however, you feel there's more to it - like there's some profundity in the snow-covered fields and intimate classroom that your admittedly shallow knowledge of the universe can't account for, let alone dismiss as childish.

>The Great Happiness Space: Tale of an Osaka Love Thief (2006)
A Japanese documentary about the phenomenon of hosting, where young men groom themselves to overwhelmingly desirable to women, who then spend obscene amounts of money for their attention, and ultimately, for their love. Despite the cookie-cutter topic, this is leaps and bounds beyond anything VICE and associates have ever made, and the only doc I've seen that I would truly call "moving". If you're going to watch any of these, make it this.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pW0RV2nSg0

>Japan: A Story of Love and Hate (2008)
This one purports to reveal the turbulent lives of Japan's working underclass, but in truth it's more a study on the depressing life of the one guy willing to open up. It's not a great doc like the other two, so for any insight here, you'll have to read between the lines. In particular, take note on the subject's behavior, and how he reacts in the face of his painfully mundane life.

>Rich Hill (2014)
Chronicles a brief period in the lives of a few families in the poor American small town of Rich Hill, MO. The documentary's subjects live in destitution to a degree that most people will find surprising, and almost certainly fall under the term "white trash", but to focus on that is to miss the point. It's not one of those films where you're meant to go "See, they're not so bad after all!" and dote on the people in it like a bunch of stupid but well-meaning folk. Like Être et avoir, this is a film about immersing yourself in the lives of the subjects, and feeling things like they do. By the end, you start to understand their struggle, and the fact that all of it is real and these people are still out there makes it personal. It gives you a sense of scope: You're just one tiny element of the whole. Very good doc.

>The Nazis - Louis Theroux
Can't have a documentary list without him, right? This is far and away his best work, IMO. The people are fascinating, and Louis skirts around them effortlessly with the perfect questions in order to highlight the flaws in their own logic. Top quality entertainment, that's all.

Which is only natural, you're only human.

I hope, someday, everyone can forgive me for my failures and my cowardice. If I were just a little stronger, and a little braver, I could be virtuous and do all of the things I want to do, but won't. There is no one to blame but myself.

I'm worried my ex is pregnant. I have 0 reasons to worry about this, especially because we used protection every single time, and the last time I came in her was seven weeks ago, but I still worry.

There is only one way to act, choices and decisions only seem incorrect in retrospect. Once you accept choice as an illusion you will see that your mistakes are only apparent once you make them. Your only true decisions in life are whether to accept or reject what you observe, and how you process what you observe.

>but there's always something that draws me back. At this point I don't even know what that something is. Nostalgia, maybe? Habit?
If you've been posting here as long as I have, then being on 4chan probably just feels "natural" to you. For me 4chan is basically my default way of killing time when I don't want to try or can't. Which is often since I have to cope with weeks-long episodes of chronic pain. The great/awful thing about this shithole is that you have to do so very little. Going on 4chan involves sifting through whatever threads are on the catalogue that catch your fancy and then flicking between open tabs for how much time you can kill. Eventually you'll find a little tiny morsel of interesting content or someone engaging to talk with, and that'll keep you on the board looking for more.

If you want to increase your chances of staying off the board for good, remember that there's basically nothing left here. Most social media does a better job of aggregating content and filtering out the garbage. As a rule I also never respond to politics posts anymore since for most people here they aren't making arguments such as regurgitating prefabricated arguments they've picked up elsewhere. Most political shitposters might as well be bots since they have the same sophistication and ability to argue.

Oh yeah, what's on my mind now is that I'm scared of the future. My chronic pain has returned with a vengeance after several months of remission. I can barely think while I have to concentrate on relaxation techniques to mitigate it. I'm constantly tired and helping the episode run its course is taking weeks.

I'd love to be able to work any old job these days but what employer would hire me? Out of the blue I'd have to drop out for weeks or even months with no idea of when I'd be able to return.

I'd like to get a job as a gas or meter reader since long walks help me cope but in 20 years that kind of job is going to go the way of the milk deliveryman. I'm honestly debating becoming a professional alt-right activist and trying to make money by triggering the libs. I'm not in any sense of the word right wing or even ardently political. But since I spend most of my time during these episodes shitposting and watching youtube videos I figure I might as well do something that will make me money.

Meditation is getting awfully abstract. It's pretty clear to me now that white > gold > green, and the square is the needed form.

first time posting here for a request:
there's a book about why men in the past used to have only one functional emisphere of the brain while the other worked as an echo-chamber, and as the time went on, we developed the capacity to use both.
now the true question: what's the name of the book? i remember reading it on 4chan but i really can't get it's name now

not the other guy, but there is definitely a point at which you want some space and the affection becomes overwhelming.

Going off what >>9960408 said, there's a part of me that kind of wants to be a farmer. Or, rather, what I really love to do is write, but right now I work a retail job, and if given the choice between farming and retail I'm almost tempted to choose the former. I realize it would be hard and hot and difficult, but at the same time I would at least be outside, able to see the sun.

Also, no customers. Fuck customers forever. I love people a lot but customers can all go fucking die.
