I wish I based my happiness on something other than my grades at uni or money. I have above a 3.8 gpa at uni despite being a stem major, and I sacrificed a lot by unironically choosing to study and get a part time job instead of partying. Now I'm about to graduate without having made as many new relationships with other people as I would've liked. I also feel guilty whenever I try to take time away from school or work.

I'm so grateful for 4chan because I can be the worst sort of pervert, weirdo, and autist on here and no one will ever know because it's all anonymous. This site is a Godsend because it's essentially a release valve for my Id. In my IRL life, and on my normie social media accounts, I don't even hint at the level of degeneracy and psychopathy I vent out on 4chan. I would probably be fucked in the head if it weren't for 4chan, because I'd have to live a double life in a much more repressed and inward-turned way. As it is, I suppose I still lead a bit of a double life, but it's a kind of outward-turned double life. Because this is a site of message boards, I can live out my degeneracy and psychopathy in a way that gets me communal interaction, rather than just keeping it confined to my own head. This lets me release it, in a way that I really couldn't if I were just keeping my thoughts to myself or writing them down in a private journal. And I think, to a large degree, the ability to do this helps keep me sane, or at least functional in society.

So basically without 4chan, or something like it, I'd probably be fucked. I might even make myself severely mentally ill. So I'll never stop being grateful for this site.

I never worked hard in my entire life, you could say that i've spent the last five years doing nothing at all. Was never taught discipline, ever. The typical coasting loser who crashes and burns upon entering adulthood. Will consistent exercising really push me forward towards making something out of my existence?

Pick one, if not at random, then the most clearly outlined/thought-out one. Work on it until you hit a creative block, then immediately, like don't even think about it - jump to another one and keep working on that until you have a creative block, and then either return to the first one or jump to a third, but do so immediately with no procrastination.

It’s worth trying. Don’t do too much too quickly, start slowly and easily.
Meditating is also worth doing. I know some have consider meditating to be stupid, but it does help. There are multiple forms of meditation, mantra meditation, transcendental meditation, zen meditation, but they all share one thing, focus. It’s about focus. But you can’t focus TOO hard, or it won’t work. It has to be a light, blissful focus. You’ll understand once you reach that light focus.
The kind of meditation I do is simple, you just focus on your breathing. Counting up from 1 to 10 each time you complete an inhale and exhale. As you reach 10, you continue focusing on breathing, but allow the counting to gently fade away. Explaining why this stuff works is really hard, all I can do is say that it does work.

Or will it only help me in matters of rhetoric, and only then if I manage to find an issue or topic that corresponds?

You won't be able to gain self-respect while doing and thinking the same things.
Do something different for a while until you don't think of how bad every day is. Then you want to get distracted by wacky ideas for a while. Those ideas should replace the retarded "I'm a retard and there's no escape" thoughts, which I think you're having now.
This should take a while, afterward, you should be able to stop the retardation before it begins and you will be better for it.

I'm so unbelievably tired of dating apps. They work once every few months, and by "work" I mean eventually I can convince a girl to let me fuck her.

I don't know where to meet girls IRL though since I'm 27 and my friends don't really go out to bars. If I delete the apps it's basically committing to not having sex for a long time.

You guys never learn. Wars are won before they are ever fought. Russia was poised to crush Germany for a long time. Hitler was desperate to change the timeline where we aren’t all gay commie fags but it was set that way from the start. Russia merely waited patiently knowing it could snap Germany anytime it wanted. It played the long game with the allies who harassed Germany and demonized them for making their own banks and markets heaven forbid.

What philosophers have influenced Spengler? I want to read the Decline of The West not because necessarily I agree with the basic postulates but because I also want to develop a theory on concepts such as "culture spring", so it could hypothetically be useful for me to refer to Spengler.

Exactly, he saw that a lot of the commie tactics had jumped to America around the time of the civil war due to Stalin making life harder there. He saw that England and America were headed to decadent commie ends. Who knows what the nazis would have ended up as had they won probably a shambling bureaucracy that would have destroyed itself because it’s new - the life time of a previous institution is an indicator that it will be around for longer in the future. A new nazi country doesn’t have that benefit. The point is nazis had zero chance of winning anyways. The point is our current institutions are fucked and have been for a long time. And in many ways it shows a better capacity to brainwash and program people than nazism or communism ever did.

it may be harder and harder to follow all the commandments properly, but the ideals still exist, the beauty still exists. No one is without sin- it should be striven against but there will be failure. this is not the end of all things. God has knowledge of all things, if He were to give up on us for something like that then we would all have perished long ago. Failure, if anything, is a beginning rather than an end, and there is no one sincere that God would ever turn away. It is all still there, the entire architecture.

In brief he discusses how Russia, thought continentally european is not culturally western. He mentions how Peter the Great imposed the alien western facade over the Russian people. He says the bolshevik revolution was a revolt of the Russian culture-soul against the imposed Westernism held onto by an elite class. Says this is prefigured in a contrast between Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. He then discusses a more spiritual side of the Russian culture-soul. He hints at a future of Eurasianism. He says if the West tries to contain or impede on Russia that the consequences would be dire.

Thats a very rough summation, I'm actually supposed to be working right now and am hoping my bossdoesnt catch me slacking. He goes into more historical depth and detail. The speech the essay was derived from was given in 1922. This is the essay read aloud

Thank you! I have some thoughts based on this sum-up but I first must read the essay of course. What I say should not be taken too seriously, it's for fun.

>He mentions how Peter the Great imposed the alien western facade over the Russian people.
As a Russian and a student of Russian history I believe this to be historically inaccurate and simplistic. Russia was "Europeanized" before Peter, of course it had its own sense of cultural identity like any geographical territory at the time but was very open to Europe starting from Ivan IV, commercially, culturally and otherwise. All Peter did was push the European connection to its paroxysm being the insane larper he was.

>He says the bolshevik revolution was a revolt of the Russian culture-soul against the imposed Westernism held onto by an elite class.
Sounds like quite the asinine statement knowing that Russian revolution was de facto provoked by a handful of intellectuals, and Bolshevism essentially had nothing to do with "the people's soul". Much like Peter's European Russia it was an over-elaborate cringe larping system and totally artificial.

>He hints at a future of Eurasianism.
Ah! I agree with this wholeheartedly. If there is a way out of our cultural cul-de-sac it's positioning ourselves as neither Asia nor Europe. Though I don't believe in "Russki Mir".

>He says if the West tries to contain or impede on Russia that the consequences would be dire.
"Dire".... For whom? Lol

[Anonymous No.20074688]

>>20074641
Well I dont know much about russian history so I can't speak much about those contentions, though as I said, Spengler was an excellent historian and adds very much more detail in his essay. He also elaborated on a contrast between the intellectual Marxism, which was really a westernism, and the russian peasantry which used bolshevism in a different context. He hints at how the russian spirit would rid itself of the intellectual marxists. The footnote by the editor says this was fulfilled by Stalin. Now this was in 1922 so I'm sure Russia was in a liminal stage. Much of the essay is about the time bejng in a liminal stage and how Germany should react to it. Spengler says Germany should establish friendly relations. He looks back to history with how Germany, France, and Britain interfered with Russia in the balkans and middle east. Spengler has an interesting idea about Russia wanting to be the Third Rome and that it yearns for byzantium. The Peternists want to expand West, but the Culture-Soul sees itself South. By meddling with Russian expansion southwards, the West caused Ruasian hatred.
The dire consequences Spengler warned about really just mean Germany's eastern frontier, which I think WW2 demonstrated to be accurate.
Spengler also mentioned the Mir and the nomadic style kf russians. Can you elaborate on what that is?

I don't know technical terms. The poem evokes a very clear and simple emotion/memory. I picture a young boy around five years old, playing with his fathers boots. When you are that little, you probably don't really understand what dad does for work. Mom just tells you "Daddy's Home" or "Daddy's At Work". You don't know what he does. I think a lot of men can relate to this. It's comfortable and familiar.

i threw away 10 years of my life 99% being a NEET, a truly pathetic creature, and all i have to show for it are a body and a mind thoroughly broken by my lifestyle. now after 10 years my family and my life is suddenly completely collapsing and im not in any way prepared to deal with it. i work like 4 measly hours in a day and my back and legs are screaming out in pain, and its suddenly becoming apparent that i cannot in any way sustain myself unless that changes and the possibility of becoming homeless and dying in the harsh winter or of starvation, or killing myself, is becoming very real. im making at best $1000 a month, which is obviously not remotely good enough, it feels like im pushing myself to the limit and fucking myself up royally because of how fucked my body is from sitting around for 10 years drinking and smoking and overeating. it also feels like all my passion and love and idealism has been stolen away from me, not only because of the dire circumstances but how my family, something ive come to value so so deeply, and my reality have been shattered and ive lost an innocence i didn't know i had and took for granted. i feel sick to my stomach. i wand to curl up in a ball and cry whole someone holds me

well i think it's stupid to think that anyone would come to this conclusion out of that poem, but the thing that inspired it was listening to a guy talk about how much he loved western civilization because of classical music and statues, painting, etc. then to be pressed further only to be revealed as completely ignorant of those things. so you have this guy who who admires his dads boots and wants to wear them, yet he has absolutely no idea why his dad even has those boots, where they came from, why they are dirty, or what his dad even does for work. the boots are just comfort, and in a way he thinks if he just puts on the boots everything will be okay again, like the boots were the thing that made it, the boots were the magic. so like the boots, people look at the music, the paintings, and the statues as the thing that is, rather than the result of some necessity or hard work. essentially the boy who admires the boots, forgets the man who wore them; and the son forgets his father, latching onto this token thing, the essence long gone. idk man i'm really drunk, i dont even know why i came here to write that poem. to vent i guess

is this pasta? the poem is clearly written from a retard's or a child's point of view. Any adult would know what their father did for work, therefore it's a childs point of view. Once you take this as fact, that bit about civilization makes no sense; children don't have indepth opinions on civilization. Also, any intelligent person views civilization as a result of hard work. That's why people admire artists and architects and rulers; the immense amounts of work, the loving care placed in every detail. A man striving every day to create something better than was there before. Comparing a working mans boots, a tool through which hard labor is performed to magic is absurd. I take back what I said. Your poem is terrible

I love my cat.

I used to have this distaste for people with pets. I think there is something corrupt and degraded about the relationship that people have with their pets, both for the human and the animal. Humans feel a love for the animal that the animal cannot hope to return. A human cannot tell an animal he loves her in a way that the animal would understand. The human capability for love and the transmission of language is wasted on the animal. And in exchange, the animal is a slave.

I love my cat. She came into my life accidentally. An acquaintance of mine couldn't take care of her anymore. She has seizures every two weeks like clockwork, her spacial acuity is shot, but she knows when I am sad by the tone in my voice. She's eight or nine years old. She has two different colored eyes.

I didn't want to love my cat. I don't think she wants to go outside, but I don't want to hold her hostage. That she doesn't want to go outside makes it all the worse that I'm holding her hostage. It doesn't matter that I love my cat, I'm wasting love that would have gone to waste without her anyway. Can you even waste love? Is there love without a hostage situation?

I hope so.

I have the opportunity to move far away from my family to live life in the big city. But my heart wavers. On the one hand, I can feel the excitement I have for it and all the things I'd get to do and experience on my own, the way I'd get to completely reinvent myself. On the other hand, I love my family and the friends I have here and I really enjoy seeing them. I live at home now, and that it won't stay this way forever because everyone has to grow up, but I just wish it was easier to make a decision.

Can some anons help me out, on /sci/ there was a dumb frog poster asking about "True Knowledge"
What the fuck is "True Knowledge"? I tried to look it up and all I found was some Hindu spiritual crap like this
>The most harmonious definition that I have encountered so far is that the true knowledge is one which can be applied and helps a person to reduce the distance between him and his objective.
All the references to 'true knowledge' are spiritualist bullshit about "unveiling the inner potential" or "the only true knowledge is loving god".
Can someone help me out? Am I missing something?
If there is "true knowledge" that implies the existence of "fake knowledge". But isn't that impossible? You either know something, or you think you know something or you don't know something.
When someone says
>I know he's behind this door
and then opens it and he's not there, it's not that their knowledge has passed into falsehood. They were only using "know" as an expression of their confidence. Knowledge, as I understand it, isn't about what you believe, it's about what is.
True Knowledge then is like saying "Reddish Red". Once something is red, you can't predicate further the quality on it. Once something is "knowledge" it is true. Not only is it bad grammar, it's communicating nothing, it is vacuous!
Is there something I'm missing? It appears it's a phrase only used by spiritualists and grifters.

I've rediscovered the joys of reading and have finished more books this year than I have in the last 5 lol. So far I read a biography of St. Dominic, 100 Faces by Campbell, a book on secret societies and psychological warfare, The Crying of Lot 49, The 40k books Xenos and Know no Fear, the absolute dumpster fire Valis by PKD.

I went out and bought a shitload of stuff that'll keep me busy for through the end of the year and likely into 2024. My stack in no particular order is Dante's Inferno, Hamlet, Beyond Good and Evil, Don Quixote, Infinite Jest, Ulysses, Finnegan's Wake, Demons and The Idiot by Dostoyevsky, The Recognitions, Gravity's Rainbow, Symbols of Sacred Science by Guenon, Metaphysics of War by Evola, and few books from the Horus Rising series if I decide that I really like 40k stuff. I've come out of a really long bout of depression and I'm so excited to learn and use my brain again. There's so much I want to do but not enough time!

I usually just start a new book, read a like 10 or more pages then if I don't feel it, drop it and then start a new one, then do the same thing and if it doesn't I go to the next one, eventually one of these books will stick and I will get into flow and read it till the end.
