the greeks would've just nuked subsaharan africa and genocided all the invading barbarians squatting on their land and larping as greeks. why can't we? why are moderns so much more afraid of killing than the ancients?

Because (You) don't have any nukes.

What I long for is non‑life, not death. For only the one who is alive can die, the one who has been subjected to the anathema of life, the one who has fully endured the sufferings of the world. Death is nothing more than the process of life. Let us not be foolish: death is, when compared with life, superior. Of that I have no doubt. Still, it is not the ideal. When viewed from a higher standpoint, death is the return to the bosom of Nature, mother of all things. Yet that return is not as it was at the beginning, when we were mere potentiality — we were not. Our essence was unified in the Will. We were only Will, not objectified Will. I understand that this state of non‑life is now only a thing of the past. We will never return to nothingness. We may die, but we will always remain those who have lived, victims of existence.

favourite thing about 21st century living: old lonely people who never married discovering streamers. it’s a nice out. getting into irl streaming age 45. a tender miracle.

Man, I'm really finding out how Eastern Europeans/slavs operate. You call one out for scamming you, and they not only get defensive, but go full on the offensive with counter-accusations, insults, and lies.

>you're crazy
>you're a bitch for complaining
>even if true, you're calling me out for that? cheap motherfucker
>you're worse than I am
>you're way worse of a person
>so such a whiny baby

goddamn lol, morality really doesn't even factor into their mind and soul, does it? just power and guile -- if you can get over on someone, you should, and they deserve it. Sickening. Can't believe I put up with this guy for as long as I did but I needed a friend, someone to hangout with.

What's a philosphy or movement which encapsulates careless neglect? Not nihilism as in nothing matters but more like throwing away friendships and relationships and seeing where they land

know no such philosophy but I’ve been living this over the xmas season. I’d say it’s more poetry but even that tends more towards being of good heart. can only find this uncertain feeling in post-war brit lit.

To people here that have a set number of pages they reach a day, does it differ based on how long the pages are or how difficult the book is? Or does it never change?

I read when I want and however long I want (if I can). Maybe you just don't enjoy the medium.

I'm wondering what the role of various minor countries were in the midst of World War II. Like was there any espionage or covert action that happened in Mexico for example, or French Guiana.

Sex is crazy, sex as in intercourse. It is one of the most fascinating mechanisms in nature. Human bodies are designed for the purpose of reproduction; it’s one of the many ways evolution propels itself forward. All other desires melt in the face of it.
A human male produces about 1,500 sperm cells every second. Every second of every day, for most of his life cycle. A woman, however, will only mature and release around 400 eggs over the course of her entire lifetime. This vast disparity drives a myriad of social and biological differences between the male and female genders.
A male body is capable of generating enough sperm to father thousands of offspring in a single moment. While a woman can receive just one of those cells and carry it into her womb, cultivating a new life into existence. Her body nurtures it with discipline and care, on a scale that can only be described as mythical.
Men are, in essence, donors. Women, meanwhile, perform alchemy, transforming quarks, organics, and mycoplasma genitalium into a spark of new consciousness that joins the grand, interlinked Venn diagram of existence.
It takes roughly 6,384 hours for a human zygote to mature and be impelled into its revolution. It’s little wonder, then, that men’s thoughts are often driven by conquest, while women’s are shaped by caution. A woman needs signs of stability, resources, and commitment before allowing a seed to take root within her. With so few eggs and such immense energy invested in each new life, she must see evidence that a partner will remain not just to mate, but to cooperate. Male's have different signs that attract.
Male birds, I’m told by a friend, find symmetry and size irresistible. A tomcat once mentioned that a lady with a glossy coat would do him just fine and if memory serves, he also confessed a preference for a partner who’s loud in bed. Frogs, like many of Earth's creatures, seek out the largest females they can find. A big, juicy woman, nasty little critters can’t resist.
The human male was born with eyes of lust.
It is a weakness in every sense of the word so easy to manipulate, so easy to deceive. It’s why the most popular person in high school is almost always a girl.
Quite often, though, it’s a close call. We all know the runner-up. That boy on the cusp of manhood, sought after and envied by all his peers. Blessed with facial symmetry, clear skin, athleticism, and a social charm to match. Clever enough to do well in his academics and kind enough to show grace to those lower on the social ladder.

i'm tapering off an unfulfilling relationship with some chick who lives on other side of the city. she calls me all the time after work to talk about our day, but what is the point of this really? to not be lonely? i can't remember the last time i looked into her eyes. she used to send me sexy pics but i actually told her i don't like sex. lmao what guy doesn't like sex? i just don't need to be spammed with amateur porn.

Are there any philosophers good to read after studying buddhism?
I'm a secular buddhist and I want to explore more diverse philosophical topics.
What is the whole deal with Schopenhauer and "philosophical pessimism?" Is the idea that life is meaningless and nothing can outweigh how awful everything is? I feel that that is too similar to nihilism for me, if that is true.

Schopenhauer thinks that everything is basically either boredom or some form of suffering. He's expanding on Kant's take on Burke and the Sublime to a certain extent to get to that: ultimate beauty is about realising your total insignificance to everything, and consequently a lot of his aesthetic mimics a lot of eastern trends (such as mono no aware, thinking about how long it took a rock to become a rock, the useless tree is the one that lives longer)
His overall prescription was to embrace things which made life pleasant (wine, music, good books) but a lot of that isn't going to lend meaning, because ultimately he thought there wasn't an accessible meaning in the universe

>>24986347
Oh fuck off, it's a victory for me.
It's fucking funny that I would struggle with something that's essentially just for histrionic teenaged women. And in my twenties instead of as a 14-year-old. It's just ridiculous.
