>Start fasting from social media>Exclusively reading fictional and philosophical -political books from 1800s - 1920 AD>Mental health gets noticeably better, start thinking of novel approaches to modern problems in a way I never did before Are you peak of civilisation maxing?
The only social media I use is 4chan, but it's hard to quit.
>>25173939Same
>>25173937That’s nice anon, what in particular did you read?
>>25173978Comics.
>>25174066>fictional and philosophical -political books from 1800s - 1920 ADDidn’t know they were written in comic format.
>>25174077But they were. also: nice digits
>>25174081So they were.
>>25173939>>25173975why do people like us exist?
>>251739374chan is more braindead than most social media at this point
>>25174106Maybe it's cope but I like to imagine I could have been successful in an earlier era of history.
>muh mental healthwhat a pissbaby. you dont have mental health issues, you were bored or sad or some other such totally normal emotion you fucking faggot.
>>25174121No its actually a lot better. I have brought this up many times, but compared to algorythm fed slop and brainrot, many of the boards here offer a healthy degree of proper discussion.
>>25174121I spent most of the last year on """intellectual"" Twitter and no it really isn't. This place is dead but it's probably the most intelligent site left on the internet, which is horrifying.
>>25175174Can confirm. I've looked hard for a /lit/ replacement. Doesn't exist. If you think people here are retarded, whoo boy....
>>25175179The people here aren’t retarded. Well, this board in particular isn’t retarded though there are in fact some posters here I think are tourists from other boards and they seem to have propensities for ruining threads here with inane trolling.Youtube comments might be the worst, but I’m unsure; this is the only “social media” I use since I’m an eremite so I’m not au courant with the current zeitgeist of the internet outside my bubble, as pathetic as that may sound to some of you.
>>25175174>>25175179so true, this place is awful and in the worst state it's ever been, but the rest of the internet is still infinitely worse
>>25174106I can't find a place near me that I can have the same discussions as on 4chan.I dont mind being social I just can't find proper people.My local parish is OKish but the reading list is boring.
>>25173937Why does it always have to be extremes? It is all just different shades of escapism. Either you doomscroll or you roleplay that you're embodying the zeitgeist of the west in some other era.Just grow up instead, face reality. Learn moderation and become a balanced and well adapted person to the circumstances you find yourself in. Lastly, stop engaging with the world through a solely intellectual lens. Philosophy, or seeking answers in the endless scroll. There are no answers to be found there for your problems, they're just different forms of opium to distract you from your spiritual decay. (No religion though. That's just spiritual slavery).. become who you are, learn to live in peace with the world. Be the change you wish to see.
>>25174106You hate fakery, whereas most people love it. That's the difference.
>>25175207>Do this, do thatNah.
>>25174513It's funny, I tell myself that if it wasn't for the internet i'd have been a fuckup alcoholic high school dropout. Somehow both ways it feels like cope.
