>>25125968Christ, I miss drinking. I want to be drunk and smoking a cigarette at a party having an interesting conversation with a pretty woman. I want to be shitfaced watching a movie alone. I want to wobble through a city late at night after the bar. Sobriety's worth it and all that blah blah but if you can drink you're a lucky man.
God, why are people so judgemental? I get my head bitten off every other day for such hurtful shit and it seems like there's been a lot more of it lately and I'm fucking sick of people being assholes to me. I'm so tired Lord.
Young Sherlock was decent… much better than the unwatchable BBC's Sherlock, at least.

>>25126029I saw Robert Downey's Sherlock Holmes with my mum in the theatre when it came out. Afterwards she kept telling me how the film was right about witchcraft coming from England. I didn't know what she meant and now almost 20 years later I know she herself didn't know what she was talking about. I asked her recently if she knew who Aleister Crowley was and she had no idea. She must have been repeating smth she'd heard at church. I need to rewatch that movie: I want to know just much of the occult is in it because I completely forget.
I really want to learn geopolitics, learn to predict how the domino effect will play out. Whatever is happening in the middleeast will definitely ripple out into the Europe I think. Knowing exactly what would happen when it happens? Man you can't keep beat that sensation of smugness

>>25125968There is no system of Governance or Economic system that is the end of history.I've talked about this in the previous thread,that history is driven by the struggle between irrational will of nature and Human will (human will here refers to the rational action by human,which is acted to attain a future end)on a collective level.This, irrational force of nature is always working( all irrational forces in nature that is prevelant in Animal,Humans and lifeless matter is included in this "irrational force of nature") . Collective Human will has to struggle with it in order to ensure the survival of human race. For this reason, the system of sciety constantly changes and evolves. And the notion that Capitalism and liberal democracy is the end of history might be wrong.

Following up from a fine I received in court ~6 weeks ago but still haven't had any letters or anything informing me how to pay. The 'additional info' form had a quite restrictive character limit so I sent this as an attached document. Honestly I have this inner turmoil with my thoughts on authority figures. One the one hand I loathe them wholesale, but on the other hand all the blokes I met when I was arrested were all so understanding and compassionate that it makes me think "yeah, having these blokes hold the reins is okay..."I was out at the Shelly Beach golf club for lunch with my mother and sister over the xmas break and some cops rocked up because I guess something had happened on the course. We were sitting outside so we watched them hop into buggies with this wanky looking golfer who was pointing them to the area of concern, and I recognised one of them as the bloke who was watching me as I was sitting in that holding cell a month earlier and telling me to alert him if the other inmates (meth addicts I guess screaming their heads off) if they were causing me too much distress. I almost waved to him out of compulsion to be like "hey, I know you! Remember me?" until I was with my mother and sister, neither of which knew (they still don't) that I'd been arrested for assault. Instead it was just shame I felt watching him drive off onto the gold course, not being able to tell anyone of the incredible coincidence happening before me. That was also the final day of the Sydney test, and thus the final test of the summer which itself is always a sombre day

the common lot only hate on self-insertingCHADS because they are too weak to seize their own desires and claim it as property, they are possessed by spooks (literally and figuratively) so they compromise power to sacrifice themselves not just for a collective that gives no shit about them, but also to wank themselves off on a pedestal of "a decent human being""oh just stop caring chud lmao your so mad just let others have fun with your wife"That is the purest form of cuckoldry.

I am becoming increasingly annoyed at explanations of actions/opinions. I have come to realize more and more that they are often post-hoc, self contradictory and merely made to increase the length of a conversation. There are a ton of people that purport to have a explanation for how they learned X subject or why Y is their favorite book, when in actuality I don't think anyone really knows any of these things.I have learnt countless abstract concepts, games and athletic skills, yet I can honestly never provide a concrete answer to how I learnt any of it. All I can do is provide a step by step of what I did. I can certainly not think of something that is "optimal" as I have no clue which part gave me knowledge.It feels as if we are closer to the split-brain patients than we think. We perform a action or learn a subject, and then a completely different part of the brain attempts to explain it.
>>25126530>this collapses into solipsism, which is for midwits>the problem with midwits is that you cantThis thought relies on internet slang ("midwit") to hand-wave away positions without engaging them, while ironically positioning the speaker as above-average intelligence.No critiques "explain why solipsism is wrong" in absolute terms, but they show why most people reject it as unproductive or incoherent in practice.calling something "midwit" often comes from people who think they're the high-end exception, but the label is subjective and unfalsifiable. Anyone can claim "you're midwit because you don't get it," which is itself a midwit move: dismissing without substance.I never collapse into solipsism anyway. Solipsism denies other minds or external reality entirely. I am well aware of the actualized multiple worlds, variants and external threatsThe whole "you wouldn't get it" is circular cope. It assumes disagreement proves the other is midwit, so no need to argue. But if the position is wrong, show the flaw: logical contradiction, empirical mismatch, pragmatic uselessness. Skipping that step just signals the critic lacks the tools or interest to engage.The real midwit trap here is the critic: they use a meme to feel superior without doing the work of critique.
You know that feeling you get when it turns out that you're actually the problem and that this isn't the first time something like this has happened? Makes me want to bury my head in shame.

>>25126554You are broadly correct, self understanding is a lifelong journey and most people don't even come close, I've been ruminating for the better part of my 29 years on this earth and yet only recently I've started to feel like I *truly* understand my own actions. Most people are just acting on instinct.

>>25126537>>25126538172. First let us postulate that the computer scientists succeed in developing intelligent machinesthat can do all things better than human beings can do them. In that case presumably all work willbe done by vast, highly organized systems of machines and no human effort will benecessary. Either of two cases might occur. The machines might be permitted to make all of theirown decisions without human oversight, or else human control over the machines might beretained.173. If the machines are permitted to make all their own decisions, we can’t make any conjecturesas to the results, because it is impossible to guess how such machines might behave. We onlypoint out that the fate of the human race would be at the mercy of the machines. It might be arguedthat the human race would never be foolish enough to hand over all power to the machines. Butwe are suggesting neither that the human race would voluntarily turn power over to the machinesnor that the machines would willfully seize power. What we do suggest is that the human racemight easily permit itself to drift into a position of such dependence on the machines that it wouldhave no practical choice but to accept all of the machines’ decisions. As society and the problemsthat face it become more and more complex and as machines become more and more intelligent,people will let machines make more and more of their decisions for them, simply because machine-made decisions will bring better results than man-made ones. Eventually a stage may be reachedat which the decisions necessary to keep the system running will be so complex that human beingswill be incapable of making them intelligently. At that stage the machines will be in effectivecontrol. People won’t be able to just turn the machine off, because they will be so dependent onthem that turning them off would amount to suicide.
>>25126615174. On the other hand it is possible that human control over the machines may be retained. Inthat case the average man may have control over certain private machines of his own, such as hiscar or his personal computer, but control over large systems of machines will be in the hands of atiny elite—just as it is today, but with two differences. Due to improved techniques the elite willhave greater control over the masses; and because human work will no longer be necessary themasses will be superfluous, a useless burden on the system. If the elite is ruthless they may simplydecide to exterminate the mass of humanity. If they are humane they may use propaganda or otherpsychological or biological techniques to reduce the birth rate until the mass of humanity becomesextinct, leaving the world to the elite. Or, if the elite consists of soft-hearted liberals, they maydecide to play the role of good shepherds to the rest of the human race. They will see to it thateveryone’s physical needs are satisfied, that all children are raised under psychologically hygienicconditions, that everyone has a wholesome hobby to keep him busy, and that anyone who maybecome dissatisfied undergoes “treatment” to cure his “problem.” Of course, life will be sopurposeless that people will have to be biologically or psychologically engineered either to removetheir need for the power process or to make them “sublimate” their drive for power into someharmless hobby. These engineered human beings may be happy in such a society, but they mostcertainly will not be free. They will have been reduced to the status of domestic animals.
>she used to be a guyBut that doesn't make sense. A guy doesn't stop being a guy, this is as reasonable as saying humans become do keys. This only happens in the legends of the ancient pagans; but the Gods have abandoned the earth, the possibility of metamorphosis (which originally tended to be a curse) is no longer allowed; now we everything is cursed to be what it is until the next cosmic cycle. The thing with cycles, however, is that their duration is always especulative: fanciful and vain gambits for the self-congratulation of human mind. The mystery of this duration is not simply indeterminacy, but a secret, it's built into it; if the exact, fixed duration was revealed, men would prepare themselves accordingly and nothing would be left to chance, which is destiny, or the wind that spins the cycle. If duration was instead a sort of algorithm with an output decided by causality, men would calculate how to advance the time of fate; speeding through harsh times and dilating good times, all in service of their pleasure. No, fate and its cosmic cycles demand opacity so men act according to their nature.

One activity can contain many games. The same rules or mechanics apply to all participants, but the goals pursued may differ. Consider an online match. Most players try to win with their team. One player instead plays to grief. He frustrates the others and disrupts their play, yet he uses the same game mechanics available to everyone. His aim differs from theirs. For him the activity becomes a different kind of game with its own goal. Some players ignore this game. Others resist it and report the griefer. Reporting is another response within the same activity. All participants act within the same system of play, though they pursue different goals. Do not assume there is only one game being played. Look at the different uses and purposes. Then you can see games within games.

>>25126584I am 22 so I could be incorrect; however ever since I was a very young, I have increasingly become more aware of how little I am in true control of and how much I act on instinct and am affected by my surroundings (with some brief periods where I think I have started to gain a true understanding). Obviously, this is not a unique thought, but the lack of control feels so extreme that it does seem impossible to ever be able to give a coherent answer to ones actions. Any abstraction would be far too complex to encompass everything sufficiently. This is not to say that I or others are incapable of increasing our self understanding, but that nobody will ever reach anywhere close to the self understanding we instinctively perceive ourself to have.I am not suggesting that everyone around me is like sheep (as your post seems to imply), but rather I am saying it pessimistically, that we are all equally stupid.
>>25125968Contrary to what usually occurs, the alterations undergone by the Etruscan species were, in general, of a nature to improve it. On the one hand, the Italiot Cymric blood, by mingling with the Rasenean elements, increased their energy; on the other, the Semiticized Aryan essence, brought by the Greeks, gave the whole a movement, an ardor, too weak to throw it into Hellenic or Asiatic frenzies, but sufficient to somewhat correct what was too purely utilitarian in the Western alloys. Unfortunately, these transformations occurred mainly in the middle and lower classes, whose value was thus brought closer to that of noble families, and this did not contribute towards maintaining the political balance and the undisputed power of the aristocracy intact.Then, this great diversity of ethnic elements created too many fragmentary mixtures and small, separate groups. Antagonisms arose within the population, almost as in Greece, and the Etruscan empire was never able to achieve unity. Powerful for conquest, endowed with military institutions so perfect that the Romans later had nothing better to do than copy them, both for the organization of the legions and for their armament, the Etruscans never knew how to centralize their government (1). In times of crisis, they always relied on the Celtic resource of the embratur, the imperator, who guided their confederated troops with absolute, but temporary, power.Ahh, the writings of Arthur de Gobineau will never not be as hilarious as they are informative.
>>25126554You learn things by exposing yourself to them multiple times and using them; concepts are formed through the symmetry between different individual substance of the same type: you see *multiple* individual trees, so by symmetry, by contrast, you know what characteristics remain constant and what is only specific, individual, circumstantial, you form a concept of a tree with everything that is general, and you keep in mind next to the concept all the ways the general form can specifically vary. You hold something to be true, a belief, as long as it's not contradicted. Smart people know to use feelings AND their wit to spot contradictions, most people are """contradicted""" by feelings, they only change their opinion when they *feel* they have been wrong. Every ideology has some part of truth that they aim to highlight so that people feel an ideology to be true, but they hide every corner where that ideology could collapse.
