if you could unlearn certain things from your mind, what are those, /lit/?
Ironically I'd like to have never read Bukiwski, or listened to punk rock as a kid, or any other ugly, nihilistic stuff. Maybe I'm a contrarian cynic by nature, but none of that stuff helped. I'd have liked to have developed greater ideals as a young person.
>>24851705I would unlearn the french language
>>24851777my french suck so i would prefer to unlearn english and get better at french.
>>24851774>I'd have liked to have developed greater ideals as a young person.such as?
>>24851705>If you are neurotic you are actually very smarty smart smarty-pants!Overstated psychology wank or actually true?
>>24851801It's bullshit. I'm depressed and retarded.
>>24851795I don't know.. truth, beauty, earnesty, etc.Anything but the irreverent nihilistic foolishness I ran with for so long.
The concept of love as presented in Disney movies and children's cartoons. That has really fucked me up. I get completely devastated to the point of suicide any time a girl rejects me. Every girl I go on dates with (meaning I make it past the first date) I start planning out our life together and she always crushes those dreams.
>>24851705the ability to communicate with people.
>>24852468I don’t know how the fuck I drank this koolaid for so long, I literally come from a broken home. It’s probably why subconsciously, but it was literally right in front of my face.I just want to get cosmetic surgery and an easy degree to become a sperm donor. If I hit the lottery I’m making a genome army and raising them in a compound in the third world.
>>24851705Terrible writer. Just a poor sap who gave up.All the sad teen angst of this age is legitimate, but making up shit like antinatalism or taking up self destructive "hobbies" like cutting drugs is just cringe cult.You have succumbed to the state faith
>>24851705Depression shrinks your fucking brain, Buk. When I am joyful all of my senses are responsive and my memory is sharp so I have better grasp over things. In depression everything is a fucking mess.
>>24853037*Cutting or taking drugsLol. Sounds like I was just talking about cutting lines of coke.
>>24853117I just heard about this guy's take on epigenetics I think we're all on the same page.
>>24851705Fear, anger, shame, etc.It's possible to ignore these things but it requires mental effort, and it would be better to unlearn them if possible.
>>24851801Overstated, look at this board.
>>24851818Someone didn't start with Greeks :)
association between asphyxiation and panic. if dementia patients can forget to eat and end up dying, surely i can just delete this one from my brain.
>>24851705no that's a wrong quotesadness is not caused by being intelligent, it's caused by the fact you cannot kill retard freestyle without the law getting in the way
>>24851705God, bukowski was such a ridiculous faggot.
>>24851774Then you'd just be delaying the inevitable. Only ascended sages and the profoundly retarded are free from cynicism
>>24851705Picrel is absolute midwit slop. Intelligence doesn't cause sadness at all. Poor self-control just causes you to focus on things that make you unhappy. Your intelligence just extends the amount of time you can invest into the particular topic.It's like saying great TV signal causes anxiety. No, nigga, you are just watching prime time TV full of murder mysteries and exaggerated news broadcasts. You fell for a feedback loop.
I made fun of Bukowski when I was 18 but goddamn since that time and now turning 30, he was right about everythingI kneel GODkowski
>>24852468he's just like me fr fr
>>24851705The hopes and dreams my mind involuntarily compares reality against
