The adventures of a typical 4chan protagonist, as relatable as possible

fictionpress.com/s/3350064

I'd appreciate some feedback, is this a readable first chapter? Perhaps, I should dial back how neurotic and self-centered the narrator is?

I'm just gonna write what I want to read myself and put it up weekly on one of those wattpad sites so I don't stop.

So if you're a unfeeling cold psychopath, hell doesn't exist for you?

But these are the intentions of all Christians. Egoism is the motivation behind all life. However you may shake and discipline yourself, you do it only for your own sake. Why else would you desire to be saved so much? Why else do you try to become better, if not for yourself?

>Nihilism is something the Buddha argued against, and is indeed a form of Spiritual Materialism.
Buddha was the ultimate nihilist. A nihilist is not somebody who believes in nothing, it is somebody who doesn't believe in what exists. He condemns the material world of passion and emotion in the name of the entirely imaginary world of harmony. He has no faith in the world whatsoever.

What's the edgiest philosophy in existence?
And no, it's not the milkman. Despite of all the memeing about egoism and spooks, there isn't that much edge in The Ego and Its Own.

Cogito ergo sum, motherfucker. I am not my atoms, those can be replaced by exact copies and I wouldn't know the difference. They can be fucking silicone logic gates for all I care.

I am the consciousness that is beyond physicality. You can make a hydraulic computer, a silicone one, a quantum one - but what it computes remains. It stays the same, the abstract mathematical underpinnings behind it all are universal.

No, I am not just a computer. I am a computer with (at least) a perception of free will, and consciousness. Can a soul arise out of matter? Clearly it can. And no, it's not just a puppet, as it can change it's own makeup. But as nobody understands how brains work 100%, I can't say more than that.

As far as I'm concerned, your life was already over when you started being a wagecuck, spending most of your time doing something that you hate. And not only do you hate your job, you hate gorging yourself on food, you hate being alone, you hate wasting your time on the internet, you hate the city you're in - you have pretty much every part of your life.

Stop serving causes alien to your own, for they are concerned only for themselves, and don't give a single shit about you.

I remember seeing a girl on the street in my early teens. Something about her appearance antagonized me, and I began looking for a way to justify hating her. But then I stopped and said to myself: "This is ridiculous. I'll just hate anybody I please." Since then I have never had any interest or respect for morality, ethics or anything of the sort.

Do not pretend there is some moral reason for your hate, a justification for your heresy. You don't need one.

Same thing that guides everybody else: egoism.
You might search high and low for a higher cause to serve, or abase yourself before God - but no matter how much you discipline yourself, it is all done solely for your own sake. You rid yourself of sin and weakness, and why? Because you become a better, more exalted person, all ultimately to benefit yourself.

>The involuntary egoist, who serves only himself and at the same time always thinks he is serving a higher being, who knows nothing higher than himself and yet is infatuated about something higher; in short, for the egoist who would like not to be an egoist, and abases himself (i.e. combats his egoism), but at the same time abases himself only for the sake of “being exalted,” and therefore of gratifying his egoism. Because he would like to cease to be an egoist, he looks about in heaven and earth for higher beings to serve and sacrifice himself to; but, however much he shakes and disciplines himself, in the end he does all for his own sake, and the disreputable egoism will not come off him. On this account I call him the involuntary egoist.

>Over each minute of your existence a fresh minute of the future beckons to you, and, developing yourself, you get away “from yourself,” i. e., from the self that was at that moment. As you are at each instant, you are your own creature, and in this very “creature” you do not wish to lose yourself, the creator. You are yourself a higher being than you are, and surpass yourself. But that you are the one who is higher than you, i. e., that you are not only creature, but likewise your creator.

Thank you Stirner. As I always suspected altruism is a myth, Christian piety is ultimately dishonest, and as Nietzsche said: "life simply is will to power".

Hey lit why don't you put your money where your mouth is?
Why don't you commit crimes?
>but then I'll go to jail
You won't if you're as smart as you claim you are.

I spent 3 years in prison for robbing a bank with a note for... $5000
Yes dumb I know I wasted a little portion of my life for nothing basically.
I mostly did it because I snapped.
Still had I worn gloves they wouldn't have gotten my finger prints. Which they had since I had a prior DUI.
I won't be committing anymore crimes but my advice to the kids in here is the following.
If you're not in the system the chances of you getting caught are pretty darn low.
The camera won't recognize you and they won't even have your fingerprints.
Ever wondered why niggers do armed robberies on convenience stores for 1k?
Its because the chances of getting caught are pretty darn low.
In the black community they know the system in and out.
Like Dave Chapelle said, every nigger is a paralegal.
I'm not a nigger but I did spent a long time with them.
And the reason why I made through prison is because I'm hispanic, if you're hispanic you're like vip in prison.
Anyways if you're philosopher you can most definitely get away with crime. There's a reason most people in prison are low iq except for the kiddie fiddlers.
my iq 104 btw
