I think I've finally cracked the mystery of why the civilizations of the ancient near east made so many remarkable achievements while their modern incarnations remain mired in poverty and dysfunction. It's quite simple really. The achievements of these civilizations were the work of a tiny minority of high IQ elites. With the advent of steamships and the abolition of slavery, the descendents of these elites fled to the Western hemisphere in the 19th and early 20th century. Half a million Syrian Christians left the Ottoman empire before 1914. Today, the descendents of those migrants enjoy higher standards of living than almost all white ethnic groups in the US.

god I hate my menial wagie job. Many people congratulate me and on paper it looks good: no debt, health insurance, a pension. I have a growing bank account and job security, all I have to do is drive around in circles delivering plastic chinese garbage and bank statements for twenty five more years. God I don't know if I can do it. I hate the drudgery, I hate the anxiety of being in the office, I hate driving those tin can pieces of shit in snowstorms and hurricanes, I hate customers, I hate their fucking dogs, and I'm so fucking bored.
Part of me says that it's not too late, I should just shoot my shot before it's too late, go back to school and try to learn something useful and launch myself into an educated profession like engineering, maybe even get out of this hellhole country. Then I start thinking about the debt I'd be taking on, putting up with university shitlib bullshit, the risk that it wouldn't pay off or that I'd give up before i finish or that I'd be just as unhappy doing that work as I am doing this work, that maybe the real cause of my unhappiness is just myself.
Another part of me wants just take a pay cut and do something else entirely like get a TOEFL cert and teach english overseas, just get the fuck out of this circular kafkatrap bureaucracy hellmaze. Idk what to do bros I'm such an indecisive little bitch, that's how I get here in the first place, by just taking the path of least of resistance and avoiding risk and I couldn't be unhappier.

Is the lower end of normal your low or your high? I've always felt like I balance between high and low functioning. Some times I can be a productive member of society and sometimes I can't. I always want to be better but no matter how much I wish the weight of the world comes crashing down on me, and it's too much to handle. It looks like sloth to an outside observer, but it's really fear^3.

I posted this in a poetry thread 3 days ago but its about the night of the breakup. So its the most fitting one I've wrote recently. Its very melodramatic.

I can feel it
Stalking, staring
across the stygian land
Poised to strike and spill my blood
across the sand

The mirror hath
broken, The reflection left
to soon, winds bellow your final words
Frozen, in my hollow head forming
an echoed croon

There be a forgotten fire on this lonesome beach
Breathing its final heated breath upon the horrid breeze
Abandoned by its cruel God in a coffin for none to see
That is except the watchful stars and woeful me
But alas!
Why do they seem so out of reach?

The service has started
I take my solemn seat
Dreadful emotions, in they creep
And when my future is, but painful memories
I cry out:
“Oh why! Oh why!
Why must it be!”

Primal calls are thrown towards heavens on high
Across our dismal distant sky
and beyond
But only the oceans steady ebb and flow
will ever respond
I know those stars won’t, for the dead never crow

The last weep is wept and the body ignites
Ascend boy! Join the chorus of burning spectres in the night
Hark! Behold us!
We be coy corpses of light!
But do hold back thy pity on thy tongue!
for we passed oh so ever long ago
in the either of everlast darkness
Together, forever, alone

There be a dead fire on this beach,
And we are all killers Beuniparte and sharks included
but
Especially me

Same. Sometimes I wish I was worse so I could qualify for help, but it feels like I'm just healthy enough to make it all my fault. Being a productive member of society? Paying taxes I suppose, but it goes beyond that. I don't feel like a citizen. I feel like a stranger at a party, and an imposter. It's shit, and I wish I could drop it, but still, after all these years, I catch my breath after passing people on the street. Constant dread, constant anxiety, periods of derealization, it never stops.

Every time I want to do something, I first have to defeat myself. I have to argue and win against the thousands of (metaphorical) voices in my head telling me it's no use, and that what I want is above my station. After that, I have to fight the world to get my wish, and the world is no easier than me. Things rarely go my way, and my defeats pile up on me, amplifying the signal.

Piece of advice though, and it fucking sucks: Running away doesn't help. I've isolated myself from time to time, and it doesn't make me more capable of taking on the world. I don't regain my energy from taking a break. I'm a quite asocial guy, so I don't really have a direct emotional need to talk to people, but when I isolate myself, it gets worse. Like right now, I even dread turning on the computer in the morning. Order is decreasing, chaos is amounting, and the walls are closing in.

Yes. I feel like running away. A cabin in the woods or boat at sea, something or some place where I make the rules, but it's very far away, and to get there I would have to win at the game I'm currently playing anyway, so where do I go? Idk man. Diet, exercise and sleep is my main focus right now. Wont solve my problems, but may enable me to do some work when I get better.

I haven't been able to fall asleep before 4am at the very earliest for over a week. I only get about 4 hours of sleep and wake up panicked at 8am and start the day on a tremendously shitty note. I fear the moment when I will pass into unconsciousness each time I try to sleep. Not because of a fear that I will not wake up, that doesn't bother me in the slightest. But merely because it is certain to come upon me and I will not realize when it is happening. My consciousness will shut off while my brain configures background and essential tasks as it is biologically programmed to do, as it does for everyone and has for millions upon millions of years. It will happen as it is happened for me my entire life. It's happened over 9000 times in my life, but yet for some reason I suddenly fear it. I fear it because it is immutable and will always occur, but just as I have no control over it happening nor can I ever know it. Nor can I see it coming as it is happening, It will subsume me as it happens and has always happened and I will suddenly wake hours later, panicked and in a pool of my own sweat, horrified at the existential implication of where I have been and what had taken me over for the past few hours.

I absolutely hate it. I resent it. I resent sleeping and falling asleep. I resent it for reasons I can't understand. I resent it for its unknowability. I'm reminded of Cormac McCarthy "anything that exists without my knowledge exists without my consent". This is not at all what he was talking about when he wrote that line, but it is a phrase that turns over in my mind when I think about sleep. It exists without my consent.

I hate the thought of Indians like me as being victims of racism as some of my Indian subgroups online claim. We have more blessings than any immigrant group can hope to have in foreign nations, and I cringe at Indians who co-opt movements meant for those who have legitimate social grievances against the state. With tiny exceptions there's very little genuine hatred towards us. It's more like mockery. If a black man says something controversial on race, people might attack him but it's in part due to what he says - not just the fact a black man is speaking. If an Indian says something even harmless, it's often dismissed simply because we're Indians... like we're a meme people. At least there are large segments of society that promote and uplift the plight of blacks. It may be excessive but that's besides the point. I guess being seen as a joke is better than being hated, but it's demoralizing in its own way. It's been hard for me to read about Indian history and Hindu philosophy lately the more I notice this.

Part of it is that "depression" is trendy among spoilt zoomers so they enjoy posting about it with dark humor as if they're proud. Young people these days are more neurotic though, even if they're privileged. Given the world they're growing up in it can you blame them? Seems like you started from the bottom so you never got coddled by the bluepilled outlook on life, but those who did and became blackpilled can't cope so they use memes to embrace clown world.

I think I'm going to lose her. I hope I don't, but it feels like the sun has hit the shades in such a way that I can't sleep any longer. We've been apart for too long. Physical proximity is necessary for a quality, soul-nourishing relationship like ours to survive. And our love is too young. Maybe it's always too young to truly survive distance. So often couples become numb after extended periods apart. I can feel it. I felt it the very first week apart. A numb dead. I fed it some. Nourished it with poems and meditations on death. It was the only way to press on. But God do I miss her. If I could just rest my head on her breast...

Seems like social media has turned them into histrionic over-socialized forever children. They always fit the same "I have depression/anxiety/OCD/ADD/etc" types. In fairness 4chan has these types too. But the difference is zoomers want to broadcast it to the world to attract attention, self-pity, be seen as "brave" or "different," etc. Public shaming used to be a way to keep this shit in check but now people are proud about their issues and make it their public persona without fear of being seen as outcasts. It devalues actual mental illness. When everyone's mentally ill then nobody is, ya know?

It's a genuine and mostly well intentioned over-correction which is encouraged and exacerbated by those sectors of society that profit from it.

As much as the stoic, repress your emotions masculine mentality is fetishised by some on 4chan, a society which does not allow men for some sort of honest discussion of emotion is bad. Farmers killing themselves because they are depressed their crops keep failing but are too ashamed to actually discuss it is bad no matter how you spin it. In cases like those, men should be encouraged to talk and look for support - from professionals if need be. However, that message has been taken to mean that ANY self regulation of emotion is a bad thing and that EVERYTHING needs to be shared and then that morphs into because I feel bad it MUST be pathological anxiety, depression etc. and that MUST be a fixed part of my being and not possibly either a) a product of my circumstances or b) a fleeting part of my personality that can and will change over time.

It's beneficial to the psychiatry and of course pharmaceutical industry to promote the latter kind of mindset and so it has spiralled out of control. Plus teenagers are dumb and latch onto subcultures. Teenagers have always romanticised the tortured artist. But now the tortured artist has 'clinical depression', OCD and anxiety and also doesn't produce any art.

I've come to a sort of conclusion as to why some people are more photogenic than others. Yes, looks do play a role in it but it's not the end all be all. You can still like a retard even if you're handsome.
It's simple. It's your posture. Your day to day posture determines how not only do you see yourself but also how others will see you. Having good posture adds to the likeability factor and in turn you can be more presentable at all times. Which leads to good pictures. To add on to it, good posture adds to more confidence and vice versa. It's like a self fulfilling prophecy. They work hand to hand. I've seen conventionally attractive girls look like shit in pics because they have the posture of a fucking golem and same way handsome men who look shabby because they their shoulders rolled.

Also lots of people on the autism spectrum live very isolated lives. Lack of sensory input and interaction with others can contribute to negative mental health and possibly cause schizophrenia-lile symptoms, if not actual schizophrenia

I'm assuming you know you have one but not the other?
If you know you have schizophrenia: There's a high co-morbidity for those with bipolar/schizophrenia to have autism, OCD, ADD, and so forth. Personally I think bipolar and schizophrenic patients are predisposed to naturally acting autistic and having ADD issues due to social habits and cognitive problems so probably correlation more than a coincidence.

If you know you have autism: schizophrenics make up less than 2% of the population and autism is a lot more broad. Look up schizoid personality disorder and schizotypal disorder, these are more common and not as hereditary so if you have autism you might exhibit traits like that. These two are more of a gray area, when it comes to schizophrenia you/a doctor can usually tell very very easily.

Attractive photos are not about being attractive in real life but there can be some cross over. Kate Moss looks beautiful in pictures, but in person she's breathtaking. Photography cannot do her justice. Most models, that is not the case, and they look better in photos than IRL
A lot of people will have the opposite effect. If you have red hair or brown skin, photography is not going to catch most of that well without special lighting and film. There's a reason why it took more than twenty years of Victoria Secret angels to get a red head angel when red heads in underwear is a massive fetish, and it's not because Victoria Secret is afraid of fetishism.
You're right about posture helping, and the greentext above is advice on how to align your posture to be pleasing in a photo. However, it's not just posture.

You look better in clothes when your posture is good and you just appear less anxious and afraid of your surroundings. You come across to others as an adult, someone who he is comfortable in whatever situation they are in. This is INCREDIBLY attractive to women, who among many other things are largely attracted to the appearance of stability. If you look like you have your shit together, women will flock to you. Posture is a big part of that. Simply put, poor posture makes you look like a little boy and women aren't attracted to little boys.

Unless you're writing a blogpost, the internet is a social in communication. And communication usually means there's a back and forth. Why do you think people love to troll or just say stupid shit, both here and everywhere else? To get some attention. The (you)s are often received when you say something outrageous, whether you believe it or not. It's why the stupid shit sticks more than the sincere ones. Not to say the sincere ones don't get attention but to have it do so you need to write in a way people will want to interact.

I'm not trans, but if I could press a button to turn into a girl right now I would and I'd never look back.
At the same time there are aspects of being a girl that I know I would hate. I'm short fat and ugly, and while short isn't exactly an issue for girls like it is for guys, it's certainly far less acceptable to be ugly.
I'm sure there would be no shortage of guys who would settle for me, but I don't know if I'd even want that.
Maybe I'd be too afraid to press that button because I know I'd stay the same boring loner I am now. At least being a shut in loser as a woman wouldn't be a cultural punch line.

It is the heart of man which is the root of all evil, we like to believe we are mostly Good with flakes of evil, yet we are often mostly cold indifference, malice, jealousy, envy, endless hunger and so forth, and We count it as goodness when one loves their own friends and family, how is that good? It is as selfish as loving the self, it is no more good than providing a shirt for yourself.

Remove capitalism, humans will still be evil, go through any political change, any system of governance, any form of education or indoctrination, you shall not change the fact that goodness, if man is to be good, is a learned behavior and most often an act for the average person. Man hardly knows how to act as himself, he hardly even knows who he is, how much less does he know what is good? How much less does his heart feel compelled by the command of the Good?

Man, on his own, is a slave to melancholy, emptiness, boredom as the sight of infinite longing, of lack-of-meaning, ever seeking to fulfill itself but never upon the good, rather upon anything it can crush into its mouth, grab into its hand and squeeze.

It is the heart of man which is the root of all evil, only having your heart pierced and made pure by God can cause Some measure of goodness to come from you, for the goodness is not of you, but of God.

I think it's funny how many common sense truths about contemporary culture aren't allowed to be uttered just because they're rude. I don't mean politically incorrect, per se. I just mean rude. For example, it's patently clear that a lot of ugly women, being cripplingly insecure about their lack of good looks, over compensate by becoming proud, outspoken 'sluts'. You see these chicks around everywhere, particularly about colleges. They parade their supposed 'sex positivity' and frame themselves as defiers of gender norms yet its embarrassingly clear to everybody else how desperate and insecure they are. They are no different to the incel, except that they've realised that being a woman means they can always get sex. But the sex doesn't satisfy because they know they'll never be pretty or skinny or naturally desirable, and that guys only are attracted to them because they give up sex easy. Even though they have sex they still have the incel mindset. It's kind of cruel to point these things out, but I think we all know it when we see it.

It coincides with the narcissistic idolatry and self-worship of identity politics. One of the more egregious examples I can think of is fat pride, in which a medical problem is turned into a cause for celebration. Not only is this pathetic--nobody achieves being fat, and it is only achievements that merit pride-- it's deadly. It's a form of psychological rationalization that absolves the individual from taking responsibility and alchemize leaden vices into golden virtues.

I had a dream where I was attending historical politicians having a conference in my living room, including Winston Churchill. I neglected my duties to photograph an insect sat on a cup, but got too close and smashed the camera into it which split the lens in half and got tea on it. Then Churchill tried to help me repair it. He claimed to be handy with those things.

Major brain fog though so I'm not even sure this day off will be productive.

Take nap after thats sorted, sleep til 2pm or until family or life awakens me. Grab a potion of Dr Pepper and cooked animal flesh and do my life errands, then take another hour nap.
Then I shall awaken, turn on my laptop and back up my files on onedrive and write while watching YouTube til 2AM.

It's up for discussion, but by instinct alone, the perineum; the highly erogenous area between the vagina and anus, is the second most important zone of the female anatomy. The first region being the perfectly formed adipose layer covering the lower abdominal region above the uterus. These features are so prominent that I believe they factor in not only to our enjoyment of fruit and nature, but specifically, that these areas alone can create a convincing appearance of sexuality even out of stone, mud, or ink. How am I supposed to live with, if not this fact, this sensational experiential knowledge without having an attraction to it? Hardly irrational when it's appearance is in as perfect harmony with its purpose as a shell is with the golden ratio. It's designed for sex, rearing, and growth. Beyond mere association, like breasts, cunt, pussy, ass - these areas, if described even simply, will draw out something remarkable, beyond sex. Pure kinship.

That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and universal structure of things today. There is no America. There is no democracy.

Don't know if it's illegal, but yeh I got pulled into an office about 20 minutes before I finished and got told to fuck off because they don't know if I'd be good in working with lots of people in a team in the future because of how quiet I'd been in the past. I don't really understand it either, none of the work I was doing required any discussion at all, and the two women who I was spending all day in a storage room with I maybe didn't have fuckin constant conversation with, but I was always polite to them and tried to help them out whenever I could and that.

Bit sad tho, the job itself was pretty decent and very easy, and since I've got no ambition career wise it was something I could propably have done for 50 fuckin years until retirement as the money was fine enough for me as well. Got a little miffed though because the lady who sacked me made a big deal of the fact she was still going to pay me for the whole day even tho I literally left 10 minutes earlier than I would have done anyways.

I have no idea how I am going to get my book published. I have the utmost faith in its quality, however, there is next to no market for it. What's more, it is an academic scholarly text, and I have no terminal degrees or connections in the academic world. Further, even among academics this is highly niche field, there is only a handful of scholars working on it the world over. Not because it lacks importance, but because it is cutting edge and not many have caught on.

To self-publish would feel like throwing it away, but to sit and let it gather dust after all the work I've put into it is unacceptable. There must be a way.

If you want from Turkey a continuous flow of ni-co-ti-mo-w containing material, higher alloys, we need to come to an agreement on our deals. If you don't think that this is a potentially growing business, fine. We worked hard to get the permit to ship these kinds of materials to you, and the kind of business we can do depends on your collaboration.

you see this raised as an issue from not giving the terms from the beginning. in these kinds of material we have to put on a raised hand from the beginning, otherwise we won't get the upper hand. people raise prices and my only support is my customers, meaning you. I give a price to them depending on what you indicate. If it is a two day valid offer, it is your job to inform me. I think we should be clear about this in the future. because If we're not partners we are rivals, I don't see any potential growing there.

I believe there is a future in this kind of business, I'm sure of that, for us, and it will aid you, why not?

You will have to help me about what's going around, about how these materials are performing. Not even asking for

also wanted to tell you out of spite that the situation you put me through was enraging, as is the kind when market falls down, but I still have the urge that it is a possibility if we were in the same hotel I would crush your intestines and maybe slit your troath to end it.

Are you Aussie? If so it sounds like you should have recourse with fair work. A similar-ish thing happened to my uncle, who is a bit retarded but a sweet guy and a good worker and got fired for similarly inane bullshit just because his boss had some immature gripe. The thing is that you're meant to get like 2 warnings before they fire you. If you can prove that they didn't you might get some compensation and while you probably won't want that same job back they'll force your employer to write something admitting it was an unfair dismissal which you can refer to at your next job interview so that you don't get unfairly judged.

There's this cute (100% positively) virgin girl who actually wants to date me, but I'm too unconfident to go for it, the idea of me giving her a very bad first experience drives me nuts.
I haven't been working quite well with women before, if you catch my drift. Nerves always played a role, but I'm also questioning my sexuality. Giving her the worst first sex (while she's saved until 20 yo) and later coming out to her seems like the worst.

When attractive girls shit their panties (non-accidentally it's a Freudian thing: it's at least in part about the psychological high that comes with the clash of prim and proper, but also elegantly sensual, lady-like behavior (not least of all the routine fetishization of their underwear by women themselves) and the extreme opposite of that which is of course the animal-like filth and stink of shitting themselves and showing the act, sitting on it, playing with it, befouling their costly prettified underwear: this latter being a concrete stand in or symbol for their sexual attractiveness as a whole. So that when they shit their panties, and more so when they do so exhibitionistically, they're mixing their own sensuality with the shit, literally and symbolically, they're putting both the shit and the panties on an equal footing as far as their sensuality and the pleasure they derive from it are concerned, and ultimately they're shortcircuiting the taboos which were ingrained in early childhood to break the natural, because so proximal, link between defecation and erogenous pleasure, owing to the extreme proximity of both orifices in the case of the female.

Unceasing rage
My heart a furnace
its passion so blazed
Babylonians burned asunder

To be so wrought
With retrospective stupidity
Pasts of time wasted
Emergent eyes glaring deception

Pulled from fantasy into the night
A cascade of leeches drain my soul
growing fat for their primordial prerogative

I still love her.

My knuckles
white with clenched passion
surrounding an orifice so sensitive
The lung's power dampening

I hate her
I hate her
I hate her

I hate that I loved her

I attribute a portion of my success to my war against my disorganization proceeding according to schedule and with minimal casualties. My disorganization has retreated to my bedroom and my car. I start the assault on the bedroom tomorrow, to be continued throughout the weekend. The car will be dealt with on Saturday.
By Sunday I will have galvanized onto the next step of my improvement plan: living in the present instead of the past. At which point I will need to conduct reconnaissance into living in the future, with an assault to begin by June.

I wish I were back in college, which probably betrays some personal inadequacy. I felt like I had purpose as a student, but now I just wait on people all day.

College was the single most aimless chapter of my life. I floated from one major to another until I finally gave up and settled on one, more out of resignation than a desire to study.

You're almost on it. Poorfag anon with a single mother probably had to fend for himself at times, and therefore got the opportunity to fail at some shit and overcome it. Zoomers have probably never had to do shit that could possibly involve failure on a similar scale to their parents' teenaged "failures".
Kierkegaard talks about anxiety as freedom, desire, and most importantly for this case, destruction. We're anxious at the cliff edge because we are aware we could take the wrong step and go over. The anxiety is a result of the knowledge we are both free and potentially the agents of our own destruction. You can resolve the anxiety by going over the edge, by choosing destruction, but until you're off the cliff, the possibility of going over will fire your dread. You can see the edge, the point of no return.
Zoomers often live in a world where they cannot see the edge. They know their parents are terrified of the cliff edge, but it's not real to them. It's a myth, not a physical reality. They haven't seen the thing that make you go splat. But they're told about it constantly. They try to find the cliff, maybe it is this little hump or that, but soon everything with the slightest hint of an edge becomes a cliff. To someone who has never seen a two storey building, 18' is high.
Most zoomers won't have taken their bike out in the woods by themselves. Some will have never been without an adult chaperone. They have no personal life, and the idea of an unshared experience means nothing to them. Anxiety is a sort of received idea for them, which is why it's in scare quotes in so many of those posts. Just like if you grew up in an American southern evangelical church, you would know what "the spirit came upon them" looks like, zoomers know that anxiety consists of whatever version of the DSM they were taught. It's never what the ICD diagnostic manual says, unless they're specifically aiming at getting diagnosed in Europe and the DSM failed them. It never looks like shellshock, because that is a different idea in their book.
That doesn't mean shellshock-like symptoms of anxiety have gone away. It just means it's not something they could share, and it's as foreign to them as infant baptism would be to those who understand falling in the spirit.

I think one thing to keep in mind is that there are fetishes and there are fetishes. This is something I have encountered in my own journey in coming to terms with sexuality and what I find arousing.

There are some fetishes where it's pretty clear they're just ephemeral. They don't matter. You feel an erotic urge for them for just a moment, or a few hours, or a few days, and then they vanish. Perhaps they'll reappear at some point in the future, perhaps not. But they don't linger in your mind when you consider the opposite sex.

But then there are other fetishes that are different precisely because they DO linger. There are things that become a fundamental part of what you find attractive about members of the opposite sex. Things that are essentially disqualifying if the girl/boy does not possess them. Things you NEED to find another human arousing.

I think the latter probably have a relationship with our sense of aesthetics, and the former do not. The former seem like the product of boredom and novelty, more than anything else.

I'm a tribal member and submitting a poem for a contest involving other tribal writers. It's written in hendecasyllabic meter an is part of a larger poem. Our tribe has little in the way of recorded legend or mythos, so I'd like someday to work on that.
Either way; here's my faggy poem about a Chief pushed West

Lament of Sicopas

>From the mountain to the sea, I have wandered.
>Both people seen and places been, love banished
>Fade in time like dye on linen in the sun
>My sons ached, my daughters trembled when death came
>The West is no longer home for forlorn chiefs.
>Where then shall we go? I ask God; only friend
>Do I become a whale beached, proud and rotting?
>I would sooner see my flesh flayed, bones broken,
>Teeth splintered in winter, blood boiled in summer.
>No.
>West is no longer home, but I will fight here
>Our homes are burnt, lands left barren by devils
>The tide washes from the East, we are but shoals.
>I go to Sulk'Twu, genesis of my line
>where my father's of the House Suswami were laid.
>Buffeted by salt water, until eroded.
>My house ended. Die I will, though die unmoved.

The people who make these threads aren't interested in /lit/ or even 4chan. They're also the ones complaining about the board going to shit lol. One of them's a schizo who thinks anime posters are following because he sees so much anime on this website. They're making off topic threads before their old off topic thread even hits the bump limit because they're zoomers who see (you)s as Facebook likes or whatever. It's the equivalent of a wine aunt posting her tits on Instagram "for liberation".
