>>24747214Watch K-ON and get happy or something
>>24748012what if i don't want to be happy
>>24748017Watch it and stay unhappy then idk, I found a pic of me that reminds me of the ones you post
>>24748030do you engage in the pursuit of happiness
>>24748036I am not trying to sound weird of cool when I honestly say I never really understood what that's supposed to be. But neither really the oppositeWhich do you think is me
>>24748058happiness disappears as soon as it is obtainedyou are on the left
>>24748083You should really read Schopenhauer if you have the energy, also why do you think I am the one on the left?
>>24748113i did finally read both volumes of the world as will and representation when i was in my early thirties because i wasn't ready for him in my twentiesi read marx and the bible as a teenager because i grew up without a television, and rurallymy school had a copy of das kapital and that's how i discovered socialism
>also why do you think I am the one on the left?i like to watch people
>>24748157I wish I grew up this long ago, I could have been one of these computer nerds. Meanwhile things have only gotten more boring since the 2010's where I grew up>>24748175Why do you now answer the question, are you a woman?https://youtu.be/XKZIQlqVjjk?list=RDMM3nQNiWdeH2Q
>>24748221there never were any 'good ole days', just days. spengler was right about thatsartre was an armchair existentialist whereas kerouac lived itthere are no woman on the internet, it's the first rule
>>24747009That was the poopiest time in my life or maybe right now is poopier but I can handle higher levels of poopiness.Anyway, I still have fond memories of those songs even if the times were poopy.
>>24748254Good? I don't really know and don't care, things where certainly more interesting though, it's as Spengler said things stagnated and became boring and worse he was just wrong about the point in time. Or maybe his civilization died and now is the time that came for ours>>24748298tsmt! I miss the bad times the most!
>>24748310life is tension, like a bow. remove the tension and life evaporates
>>24748316You're trying hard to be deep, old man?
>>24748384the harder you hold on to something the faster it slips away
>>24748404You've said this about 3 times now but I really fail to see where this is true either physically or metaphorically
>>24748412it's esoteric empirically ethical existentialist dissociative druidic dyonisian spiritualistic materialistic disquietudea new field of philosophy i am exploring
>>24748424Did you suddenly start joking
>>24748448do you think life is a jokehttps://youtu.be/w53Bd2P2dKU
>>24748460If you take it serious it sure reads like one
>>24748511>why so serious, brolol, said the scorpionit's in my naturehttps://youtu.be/Igbd3EEOHIs
>>24748539What's a scorpion? Astrology, another female trait
>>24748589i'm a pisceshttps://youtu.be/locRe3CWXpI
>>24748599I don't think zodiac signs matter or are of any significance, why would they?
>>24748665do you use other form of social media outside of 4chan.
>>24748705I sometimes am on the 'cord but nothing else, why would I? I don't even have anyone to follow or even watsapp
>>24748748because i know why people come here but still use other social media, i did too but that was a long time ago and yeah i know that sounds clichei used frenchan for about six months i think before it shutdown but it had become just verbatim /int/ anyhownot trying to throw oblique shade at you my point is people still come here to find something genuine in anonymity and that's coolbut people can be, unpredictableanyways that's why i think that's why some people still come here but pretend it is for other reasons, of which they have manyidk, maybe not. maybe i am reading the room wrong, or i am being deceived, confirmation bias etc.have you read anything about the history of solitary confinement
>>24748856I come here out of habit and nostalgia for the people I've known longer than anyone else even if through the mask of their online persona if you interact over years it's impossible to stay "anonymous"
>>24749045it's just masks all the way downjung called it the shadowhttps://youtu.be/pBy1-gCHGtA
>>24749057Nope, all me actually
>>24749075i think the self is a powerful lord
>>24749098The will is a big strong blind man that shoulders the scrawny lame man that intellect is to help him navigate the world, but ultimately the will always has the last word
>>24749134man is a self-domesticating animal, the intellect can superecede the will and i woukd argue can even subliminate it entirelythis is self-evident
>>24749172If anything intellect can trick it, but even then the lame man can never walk on his own
>>24749221i'll give you an example from my own experience with the world as will and representation. i lost custody and rights to see my kids and have had abuse of process used as the means to keep me from ever seeing them again.if i follow my heart and kill my ex then my kids not only have lost their dad but mom too.the intellect has overridden the will; this is called a double bind.
>>24749332That's just one thing you want overpowering the other, whatever, this can be seen in multiple ways and always ends in a paradox, but even Freud pretty much accepted Schopenhauer's view on this in the endhttps://youtu.be/t_9QAp2tTaY?list=RDt_9QAp2tTaY
>>24749415i could spend the time explaining my reasoning to a stranger or i could just keep my peace and do what i can to get by in a world where one man means about as much as anotherit is just an example of where ethical and moral theory met reality in my own life and didn't amount to muchi only use it because it makes for interesting commentary on how little ideals mean in realitylife is a zero sum game
this place is kinda like a zoo/circus too, where people come to look at spectacles and see elaborate playsand the freakshow, of course
>>24749644Welcome to the VIP lounge!
>>24749738astrology is not feminine or masculine, by the waythat don't make no fuckin since to say it's mascualine or feminine
>>24750134Yeah it's worded wrongly but it's certainly true that nowadays much more women believe and are interested in it than men
>>24750226maybe, i think you were fishing to see if i would react to being inferred as liking 'feminine' stuffbecause i like constellations and mysticism i'm zesty nowno matter how hard i have tripped doing psilocybin or dextromethorphan i never doubted my sexualityi have questioned a lot of my fundamental beliefs about the world and myself but not that, i guess because i grew up so entrenched in christianity that it is rooted deep in my subconscious, idkhttps://youtu.be/KYS0Q8wdtP0
