I wish I was like everybody else. I wish that I enjoyed the things everybody else enjoyed, and I wish I still enjoyed the things that used to make me happy. I missed out on my chance to be a teenager (go to parties, drink and do drugs, go to prom, etc.) and now I'm behind everybody else. I daydream about meeting someone who will go with me to live in Nashville and just enjoy the city and surrounding mountains. I'm supposed to derive my happiness from superiority to others (that's what I have been taught to strive for—superiority) but I just want to be happy with a small group of friends and one person whom I can confide in and spend the rest of my life with. I want to be happy in my own way, but it doesn't seem possible. I think I may have an anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, or even schizophrenia, but I'm afraid to see a psychiatrist because seeing someone would require me to give up my ideal world fantasy of Nashville and confront the fact that I am far to flawed and that I don't merit happiness.

I have fallen in love with a girl over instagram. I'm now way behind on my uni work because she's the only thing I can think about. We sort of have mutual friends (though I haven't talked to them in like a year) and would probably have known each other had I not dropped out of school in my final year. She studies in a city that is about a 30 minute plane ride from where I am. I feel like such a creepy loser. What have I become? I can't believe I am lusting after a girl on instagram that I don't even know. I can't decide whether I should message her and brace for rejection or just wait for my feelings to subside. I really need to get out of this rut.

I did muay thai for over a year. You'll be fine. Plenty of people just like you (even older and overweight) who go. Really the biggest concern should be your wallet since shit can get expensive. Otherwise it's a fantastic workout, it's fun, and you learn how to actually effectively defend yourself. If you go and just try your best every session you'll see results over time. Just go.

I’ve been forcing myself into as many social situations as I possibly can as flood therapy for my social anxiety, which pandemic times have greatly worsened, but it’s not getting any better. After a couple of beers I loosen up and can engage properly in a conversation, but up until that point I’m in fight or flight mode. I don’t want alcohol to be a permanent crutch.

I believe this social fear is caused in large part by growing status anxiety. Most of my friends are more intelligent than I am, had a more privileged upbringing, have been socialised better, and are more successful by societal standards. When we were all 18 it didn’t matter so much, but half a decade later I really feel like a loser, and I’m paranoid my friends see me that way too and are too kind to express it. Once I was secure in the knowledge that the respect I felt for my friends was reciprocated, not anymore.

I don’t want to change my milieu, because I love these people. All I want is to mean more to them. I fear that I don’t have the capacity to achieve this.

my semester starts monday, I've had a long summer. for a long time now all I've tried to do is not have any hatred flare up. I feel like if I do anything it's gonna come back, so I do nothing, I lay in bed all day. it's quiet here. I was gonna take a walk but it will flare up, I can't stand it. there's been a lot of fucked up shit in my family and I'm only recently actually processing my feelings about that, but this anger is self-enforcing, once you get into that frame of mind it tends to roll on and I feel like it isn't, it doesn't do anything. I'm sure I have to feel what I have to feel but I feel like if this rolls on freely I feel a lot more than what I have to, so I try to keep it quiet. I don't want to do anything, I just want quiet.

I've been playing Divinity: Original sin 2 for the past 25 or so days. This game made me realise, for every form of entertainment, pacing is a very important factor for enjoyment. Gamers tend to have the notion that longer games = more value with time and money but I disagree with the sentiment. Just because it's long doesn't mean it'll be fun, just because it is short doesn't mean it won't be and vice versa.
Either way, getting past the halfway point in the game took me almost 70 hours running around and figuring things out. The fact that as a new player it's almost mandatory to do 90% of the quests given so that you don't get butt fucked by your next encounter really wears thin. Anyway, I'm almost done with the three quater of the game and I'm wondering if I should bum rush through it now or just take a break for tomorrow.

Currently working on a poetic narrative about Germans and Germany who serve as an allegory for the Spirit-Mind of Europe. I believe Germans have an unconscious gnostic and poetic element which is informed by the uniqueness of the German identity compared to the rest of the European nations, and Germany, being the First and Greatest (Hegelian) nation, actually did not lose WWII, but facilitated the spiritual annexation of Heavenly realms by real and acual "Aryan Spirits", who are nothing less than the actual Germans from 1880-1945 who left the Earthly Germany being conscripted into a war against the legions of Seraphim, the psychopomps beneath them, and the demiurgic Father above them.

I feel like Biden's "We will not forgive, we will not forget" was the part in the movie where people find out the president has the zombie virus too, unsurprisingly. It fits why I voted for him though, because, he is a self-evident example of what is so deeply wrong with America, and I'd rather have four years of us dwelling on that rather than continuing to crash cars into each other in Trump's pretend-land acting like we're still this big cartoony wonderland full of grit and hard workin'.

It's a reminder that all this virtue pageantry that occurs domestically is at the expense of a very capricious empire that relies on intimidation and bullying, flaunting its wealth with complete disregard. Even Bush held onto the veneer of America as this heroic, noble nation of goodness and freedom. I think, even with the greed involved, there was a part of the Republican caucus back in the 2000s who thought they were saddling up to go hunt down a true "bad guy" and liberate an oppressed people. Maybe we did make things better, maybe we softened the Taliban's radicalization, but no matter what, it is entirely fitting that we leave in shameful defeat, because what happened there was a failure not just operationally, but morally.

I read a line in a novel lately about the coordination of time in Europe, so basically about how all European train stations at one time synchronised their clocks to make a 'universal' time standard.

What would've happened if time was never made into a verifiable, measurable entity? Back in the middle ages, sundials were the only way of knowing: we roughly had an idea of what hour of the day it was, as long as the sun was up. We probably relied on biochronometry mostly, our circadian rhythms. Time as a unit certainly wasn't available everywhere and anytime as it is now.

Through the ages, time has become more and more of an all-important factor. Everything that will ever happen from now on can be linked to a certain hour, minute, even second of the day. It's been really interesting to think about how life would be if we'd detach this numerical time from occurrences and experiences altogether, especially because it seems unthinkable in the current day and age.

As this post is proof, I really haven't fleshed out my thoughts about this yet, but I'm willing to think more about it, and possibly even write a story about a (fictional) village where one day, time *units* are introduced (or conversely, taken away).

I think I'm good with small talk but I just make a decision that they're the "other" and keep a distance from people. I love joking around and stuff with close family and friends but basically like a phantom to others. Also, I had a short relationship going on with a girl that I ended. I can't stop thinking about her and last night I dreamt of her weeping. Is it ok to start a relationship that is uncertain in is finality? Is that how all relationships are? I keep having too high of an expectation for myself and just leave relationships when I don't think I can make it a marriage eventually. Help.

I am sore and tired and my shit mobile browser crashes so I'll be brief: the problem with comics is that they're redundant. A picture is worth a thousand words, but more than one picture suffers from diminishing returns. You don't want a picture for every scene, every dialogue, every object. Other than theory problems you also have the practical problem that good pictures take a long time to make, so if you're drawing a comic with hundreds of panels you will have to cut corners. This is how you get manga where there are a handful good panels in the chapter and the rest is talking heads with no background. The illustrated novel is far superior to a comic in every way, you truly get the best of both worlds and this is what people had the sense to do for the longest time. Prose is hands down the strongest medium, you are using the power of someone's imagination to conjure images. You have beautiful, high effort illustrations to help paint a picture of things that matter. That's it. Comics instead just end up half-assing both. You could think of them as small scale cinema but the truth is that they are nothing alike and comics fall short in the comparison.

Aren't people tired of talking to each other, getting involved in each other's drama, and more? Why not just chip everyone and add visible personal data to it? For example, IQ score, favorite artwork, passions and goals in life, and more. This way, people can scan each other and determine compatibility rather than wasting time talking about bullshit.
For example, let's say I scan a group of people. I find one person who shares a lot of interests and has a nice IQ score. If I had decided to talk to the people, I may have never found this person out! We could become friends then with chips in everyone.

>>18931281
I will try to effort post
Firstly, weed is (most of the time) 100% addictive and 100% a gateway drug. Sure some people are special and can moderate and blah blah blah, but that is almost never the case. I truly cannot stand the promotion of weed as if it has no negative impact on life.
I started smoking weed in my first semester in college. Back then I was only smoking at parties and stuff and when I could get it. Eventually that progressed into a nightly marijuana habit and weed became a personality trait, I became a real "stoner" (if you saw me in the street you could tell I smoked weed). This continued up until about now, minus the "weed as a personality trait"(I cleaned my personality up about 2ish years ago). Last winter I had an epiphany and started admitting to myself that I don't fully enjoy this lifestyle and that there's just no chance it can continue forever. You can only wake up feeling like you got hit by a train so many times before it gets annoying. A lot of the times I would get high at night purely out of habit rather than really wanting to. Weed was becoming a boring thing and I wanted it to feel good again so in April I stopped smoking for the whole month and it was fucking great, I genuinely had an amazing time being sober. Then in May I started smoking every night again and it was fucking great because weed felt good again. Now its become boring and stale again and I've realized that this is just going to be a cycle unless I stop smoking every night. Which is where we are now.
I've said this many times to other anons and its the best way I can describe it, weed is a real love/hate relationship once you get too deep into it. Its really fun but it does cause a lot of problems, especially if you have other problems in life, you just start depending on it as a cope. It certainly affected my performance in college but that was also the party lifestyle in general. I don't feel like its made me dumber, but it has definitely affected my work ethic and caused an apathetic and existential mindset, I am not a negative and pessimistic person, I am just often times very unmotivated towards things. I spent many days in college where the whole day was basically me waiting to get high at night. It can really become a cope if you are not careful with it. Anyways. Ideally id like to continue enjoying weed in moderation for the rest of my life.
Would I recommend anyone trying weed? Hard question. I really can't say yes, its something you have to decide for yourself.

Anyways, now that I am moderating my habit again id like to change my moniker as I do not feel I am "the xi jinping of weed smoking" anymore. Another anon suggested Deng Xiaoping and I've personally been considering Zhou Enlai, but I am open to suggestions, it does not need to be a Chinese leader btw.

For example, let's say I want to only become friends with sexually conservative people. I put this in my device when scanning people. If they're not sexually conservative it would say "BAD MATCH" in all red on my smartphone.
This is a better way to make friends. You can just walk into stores and scan everyone rather than talk to people at random.
Also, let's say I want to play a board game like Shogi. I go to my app and say that's what I'm looking for, ignoring other attributes if I wish. Then I scan people with the intent to just find someone to play Shogi with.
See? This is true human evolution.

Stfu, you stupid low-IQ humanist scum. You're just coping for how you're a soulless husk of a faggot. You probably have no deep interests in life or good tastes in artwork, which would be obvious to anyone who would scan your chip. You would be exposed as the pseud that you are.

I descend from aristocrats. People should kneel before me, no doubt. There should be a kind of color attached to a list. Gold and silver are highly ranked people that everyone must treat with deference. For example, if you scan someone who is gold, you must kneel before him and kiss the ground before his feet.

Way too low resolution and most likely framed by your personal resentment at being a genetic dead end, so this is your "logical" way to and ruin the party just because you were not invited. Or in other words an impotent revenge fantasy exacted on social relations as a whole. Many such cases.

That said it is possible that at some point we will have AI assisted socialization, but for it to work in a many that actually feels organic it would need to account for actual real world factors and be constantly monitoring these to update its model continually, rather than sterile abstractions set up as first principles and syllogized in to 'fact' that causes you to rage at reality when it doesn't comport to your system.

But at that point it will likely be just easier just to wirehead people in to perma-orgasm rather than have some elaborate revenge of the nerds system.

Have some personality attributes for stuff like "motherly". If a whore checks the box for "free woman independent thinker!" and not motherly, then you'd know she is a bitch and not worth the time.

No, not really. Despite how addicted I may seem it is actually quite easy for me to not smoke, even when I get tempted. Ever since I took a month long break my perspective has changed and I've realized that I can enjoy my nights sober and go to sleep sober. It was hard at first but I have definitely developed a sense of self control and mental strength. Its not like I need to flush all my weed down the toilet or do some sick boy method shit.

You can do things with prose that you simply cannot do in any other medium, and prose covers everything other mediums do. If you are a fantastic writer you can still deliver incredible scenery and vivid imagery but you can also sped 80 pages inside the character's head, following his train of thought to levels of depth that simply aren't possible in things like cinema. Visual mediums are great in that they directly deliver exactly what the artist means, but they also leave no room for interpretation. I think there's enormous value in how the same text will differ inside different people's heads. But if you want to use pictures to describe things exactly as they are, anything but a key illustration is redundant. I don't need an illustration for the character twisting the door knob. I don't need an illustration for his eyes wide open in fear. I value visual arts but the idea that visuals for visuals' sake are "just better" is a massive pitfall. It's always a compromise and as I said, when this compromise becomes your default simply because visuals catch one's attention better than prose, the quality plummets due to diminishing returns and also using visuals like someone would use a screwdriver to hammer a nail.

I still can't respond to things like compliments, physically and emotionally. I have to try and act. This goes for a lot of things in general, I have to act because I don't know how to feel. This is my only coping mechanism for social situations, and it often feels like I am emulating or acting strange mixtures of personalities and emotions around others, I never feel like a person but some kind of vague thing with mouth muscles and eyes and I don't know what "me" is supposed to be. I am either cold and robot-like or strange and hyperactive. The things I say are a soulless patchwork of quotes, transient phrases and platitudes I hear from random sources. I don't feel like I have my own perception or thinking. When reading a book or watching a movie, the information is just falling through my head, I seemed to never had the ability to "read between the lines" with things in regards to people or general information, the one faculty I seem to have is to remember obscure trivia of random things I've been really interested in, but even with this interest, I still can't comprehend most if anything I read even if I want to, and apply it to my other knowledge. It's the same as rain falling off a raincoat. I am constantly forgetting bits and connections of information, forgetting about simple mistakes and making them even with practice, overall sloppiness with anything I do, and overall I don't feel conpetent at all, but for whatever reason I have been called "smart" by the adults in my life yet I am condescended and treated like I am a child while everyone else seems to get the "normal" tone or speech, and thus emerges this opaque but invisible barrier between me and others.

Across my years so far, I clearly have exhibited numerous impairments that weren't addressed and there was nobody who bothered to notice, I failed every class and school I went to, I failed every thing I have done, square one to square one, and I don't see what the harsher and harsher world of today has to offer someone who is already south of normal functioning level, and I also don't see what soneone like me can offer anybody else, given that I have been a negative irritating influence on everyone around me out of my perpetual unawareness and overcompensated presence. I feel socially and cognitively impaired, I am alone in an undignified fog in my own head, with no real internal imagination to fuel my introversion and on the other side of the coin no ability to connect to any facet of the world, its people, or even a perception or insight that guides me through it. I am an adult only in age, I don't feel anything torwards my disfunctional, divorced, fractured, drug-addicted family, I don't feel drawn to anything in the world, I can't find a pocket of sanctuary in my own headspace, I can only envision a pathetic grey murmur of a future that entails decades and decades of minimum wage living dragging on and on as youth recedes and the solitary reality of middle age finally drives a dagger into my brain deeper and deeper as I live with nothing besides the death of my sanity, the death of whatever is left of my faculties, the death of whatever family I have, and the death of whatever distant and muffled strands of emulated human contact I attempted to hold on to. I am just muscles moving and aching around day to day, the world is just blurry forms and shapes, nothing has any definition, the only thing imaginable is death. I can't escape thoughts of death. I watch videos of suicides to become comfortable with idea of death. I look at rows and rows of fuzzy images of suicide victims and the scarce words their family leaves after them. I know exactly how to yourself, barrel straight, behind the ear, wadcutter bullet or heavy shotshell. I wake up every morning from vague eerie dreams of my death and the faces in my life contorting with age. It is the only concrete thing I can envision, the only thing that makes sense. Being conscious is tyranny itself. Life is tyranny itself. What is the point of living?

salad with white-pepper tofu is solid. fry it in butter with some salt, turmeric and white pepper, fry it pretty hard so it gets a little chewy. it's surprisingly good, great addition to a salad.

While I agree with this statement, I'd say officials are more like capitalists than anything else. If you dig into any politician at or above the level of state government (or municipal council in major metropoles), you'll find a host of sweetheart deals, back-scratching, real estate trades, and personal enrichment schemes. All politicians working today know the power (and more importantly, the money) that comes from the seat, and consequently treat their job as 1) a stepping stone to the next tier of government and 2) a means of entering the upper class.

The armchair creaked and rattled as the man tied to it was beaten. Between blows, a gentleman in glasses across the room would put aside his cigar to speak.
"Where are the shipments coming from?"
"fuck you" spits the man through a broken jaw.
The gentleman stands from his stool, unbuttoning his vest and removing his watch.
"Believe me, this is your last chance before the experts arrive, and they will not be so lenient."
Golden cufflinks clatter against a rusty table, and the gentleman's hand disappears into a square padded bag.
"This is some high quality stuff" he says, inhaling deeply. "The ingredients can't have been cheap."
He motions for the others to step aside, and brings the fragrant box to the broken man's face.
"I bet you don't even know what this is, the way it changes a man. I've seen dozens of men waste fortunes on what you've been delivering, and you clearly have never had a taste."
The broken man looks lazily at the box with measured breaths, with bloody mouth open.
"I know my duty." he gasps, swallowing saliva.
The gentleman smirks. "And I know how to enjoy myself" He opens the box and slices a piece off. Tears well up in his eyes as he takes a bite, and another. His head tilts back in ecstasy as he swallows, and looks down, his mouth a dripping red smile.
"I've got to admit," he says, cackling, "if you had entered this game before us, your product would have wiped us out. But there's more to pleasing a customer than better ingredients."
A knock interrupts the gentleman's lecture. He turns sharply, and messily wipes his mouth on a sleeve. Seconds later, a man wearing a wide, flat, red fedora sits down at the table across from the broken man.
"Little Johnny Junior, working for his old man. How is your Pop doing these days?" he asks with a smirk. "He might have got the best of me in his day, but now that i have you, the tables have decidedly turned."
With eyes still bleary, the gentleman interrupts, "Boss you have to try their product, if we can reproduce it, they'll never see the light of day again!!"
A shot rings out, and the gentleman falls forward across the boxes of contraband.
Smoke rises from a pistol in the hands of the red hatted man, who has a cold gleam in his eye.
"Don't look so shocked junior. Your pappy should never have brought you into his business while I'm still around, and I will always be around." he cocks the pistol and puts it to the young mans forehead. "Its too bad you won't be able to send a message to John in person, but he knows me well enough to get it."
The man's fat finger resting on the trigger stiffens; "If I've told your Papa once I've told him a thousand times." his eyes disappear behind the wide, red brim. "Nobody out-pizzas the Hut"

I haven't had any significant contact with the opposite sex since two years ago. I always avoid pursuing my desire because of fear if I come off as a creep. Therefore I stay at the sidelines. I remember feeling bad when my crush was obviously getting hit on by another guy. I wonder why I suppress my feelings, looking happy, doing creative stuff. Fear of rejection, of initiating contact, connecting, perhaps I am a bad person. I feel alienated. Last saturday this girl gave me a tarot read. The outcome was perhaps positive. I have been thinking about her. We only talked for about 30 minutes. I know her name. I probably won't approach her. She lives in my old college town. I am like a fly circling around shit. I don't know how to deal with these feelings, I feel happy for these emotions. I am not sure if at this current age is normal to want to fuck people or if I am being a creep for wanting human contact.

We had coffee and talked for about an hour and a half, then he had to leave. I'm not entirely sure whether he really had to leave, or whether he was just making an excuse. Our conversation was interesting, but we're not very alike.

We talked quite a bit about books we were reading, and i think I may have talked a bit too much about the Brother Karamazov and my views on God. I hope i wasn't boring company, but at least I was honest about who I am.

I'm glad to be out going on dates again, even if they don't go anywhere, it's good to have that human connection, it's something i lack normally, so it's refreshing to get out and really talk with people.

The actual thing reads more like the author trying to convince you of his goddess theory thing. Don't know, very confusing. Like at the end you get very grotesque and "shocking" scenes that I guess I was supposed to be impressed by, but since I read my tolerance for bizzare rituals is pretty high, and I had no emotional connection to the narrator. He just goes around befuddled by the situation and wanking about how he misses his wife. Oh no they ate a man! When I was a teen I guess I'd be impressed. Such witchery (this is not really a spoiler, dw)
Still, nice imagery and some nice poems, and the asshole narrator was a breath of fresh air - He's just very straightforwards but also prickish.

It's interesting to think about a future which is divinely lead and by a female goddess, but since it is lead by the divine it's not very interesting for us (since the world cannot arrive) and the base assumption of the book (that the narrator knows the goddess to be true (aka the reader knows it) and the male gods to be false) just struck as absurd to me.

Cultural currents are what determines what exactly people are concerned with, in their brains, at any time. That with which people are concerned with, in turn reinstantiated and, with time, changes the current. That is to say, cultural currents mediate between brains, which here function as processing machines.
It's beneficial to you (financially, statusweise, etc.) if you, as a person, maximize your potential impact on them contemporary current, in whatever particular subject you think you have an angle.

i had a zoom meeting this week about returning to the office and i'm going to share an anecdote because ppl on here can appreciate the cringe of human interaction. so, everyone was talking about how they've been dealing with working from home, and the pretty girl was talking about being not being able to go out and having to turn her living room into an office, but smiling and generally being positive. then right after her this guy with aspergers jumps in and starts talking about how he's introverted while rambling for five minutes. he has one of those gaming chairs people who watch too much twitch get influenced into buying and a bunch of anime shit on the walls behind him. the smile on the pretty girl's face literally turned to a frown. her eyes weren't angry or anything but her mouth was like a sad emoji. in zoom the people's faces are friggen huge and you can see them all at the same time like some kind of surveillance apparatus, which made it painfully easy to see the aspergers energy drain the mood away. then the next time she talked she immediately mentioned her boyfriend which was seemed odd because in the years i worked with her she never talked about her bf. she obviously would have one, she's attractive, but she wasn't the type to drop the "bf" bomb in conversations.

Have any thinkers commented on the natural tendency in life for positive things to beget positive things, and negative things to beget negative things? For instance, if you wake up and look in the mirror and think you look amazing today, then you'll have increased confidence and generally have better social interactions, which leads to good things like getting on better terms with the people around you, and being more liked which feels good in itself. Meanwhile, if you have something like a "bad hair day", it's highly likely the rest of your day will be worse than usual because you're mentally unprepared for it.

Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? By good and bad things, I mean stuff that's good or bad based on how it affects you right away, but this also often has a ricochet effect that tends to last the rest of the day or even longer.

These people do realize that getting mad at someone who chose to run a communist/fascist/socialist/reactionary state in a game is pretty pointless, right? It is not as if they are enacting real world policy.

Victoria II is a game where you can play as any nations in the world from 1836 to 1936. You guide your nation through the Industrial Revolution, and if you are a great power, you can participate in the Scramble for Africa. It also includes WWI-style Great Wars. When it comes to government, you can be a monarchy, a democracy, a communist country, or a fascist one. The political system is the best in any strategy game I've played, with elections and political reforms and the like.

When I drop my guard and my mind wanders and I start thinking of all the failure, the embarrassment, the mockery, the terrible choices I've made, the humiliations and defeats that littered my years like an unbroken chain of falling domino tiles, the misunderstandings that I unwittingly created to bring shame and enmity upon myself out of sheer stupidity and cluelessness, that all I could ever be noticed for were my disasters, the terrible reputation that no matter how hard I've tried to hide myself away in a corner still lingers somewhere in the distant memory that people of this small town have of me, the terrible truth that my role today is exactly what was always meant to be, that as soon as I step out of this door and try to smile again I will be trampled inexorably by reality, the only relief I can find is that I'll kill myself and it will be over soon. Thinking that I'll kill myself actually gives me relief. How do you fuck up in life so hard that killing yourself is the best possible outcome?

God I am so fucking retarded and autistic. At work today all I did was embarrass myself around co workers by being socially awkward. Anyone got any book recs on how to not be autistic?

I will look into that, thanks. I act robotic a lot or somehow show the wrong emotions at the wrong time. It all just confuses me. I have done research into some social skills but when I actually have to deal with another person all the fear fills me and I fuck it up. The reading goes out the window once things actually happen.

Exercise, and getting out amongst others helped when I was in that situation, somewhat. Still don
't connect with others, however I'm able to create something beyond a superficial friendship with someone I work with. It's really the only IRL contact I have. Anyway, getting out and simply reading/writing, and being away from your abode, or where ever you live is something I cannot recommend enough.

Oddly, I think it's less that you cannot understand it, and more that you (and many of the anons here by extension), are missing something integral in the genuine connection that creates human bonds. I don't really have a solution, but I think they're really a lot less complex than you believe they are.

When prison chains are strongly desired but weakly approached, the body will conspire against itself to enact its own punishment. Knots of fascia criss crossing the muscles will pull everything into a death hold. Once a locked, the only way out is to grieve. That, poor Fritz, that is your sentence.

I'm trying to find a connection between cultural currents and easteatics (can be both in art as wenn as e.g. in body building or cultural form)

Only name that comes to mind who discusses both topics afaik is Schoppenhauer. Is there someone else who discusses this?
I'm mostly interested in metaphysics, but it can have a moral
