I like (c)rap and the album RTJ2 (slap)s just as hard as it did in high school for me. Many would consider that to be (c)ringe(c)ore (c)rap but I still like it.

A few months ago when I was having lunch with my mom she told me that she was concerned because she had been reading news on the internet and stumbled upon one story of a negligent parent leaving their baby inside a hot car circumstance after which the baby died. Horrified, my good mother clicked into the story and read through it, but afterward — my mother continued — she kept seeing posts an articles about small children overheating inside parent's cars! She kept clicking them and reading them, concluding eventually that there was an epidemic of children overheating in cars; this so upset her that she decided to talk it over with me. I explained to her that in the internet there are systems designed to retain her attention the longest time possible by serving her the content she is most attracted to. That the news is not a direct representation of rality and combined the the forementioned systems they could grossly distort it. Thankfully she was reassured by my explanation and felt better.

But every so often I see people with completely different understandings of the world slap-fighting online and cannot help but remember my mom and her epidemic of children suffocating inside of hot cars.

I don't want to think, I don't want to think for a second because then I realize how much of a baby I'm being and how pointless all that I do is. And then I feel guilty over the people who love me and want me to get better, but I won't, because I'm this stupid piece of shit and I'm back to 4chan after 2 years and here comes the self-pity again. Fucking hell. I hate being me. The reason my dreams will never happen is that the person dreaming them is me

HOOOLLLYYYY SHIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTT!!!!!

I kept trying to figure out to stretch my basic ideas into full length novels, and I thought maybe asking AI for general advice on stretching out ideas through novels would help, but it kept misunderstanding my queries so hard I accidentally came up with all the answers myself by coming up with new inventive ways and examples to prove it wrong.

>>25530540
A CIA agent, though they are very much jobful.

My ultimate capeshit plot to turn a trillion in profit.

Start a new Star Wars trilogy. Two separate races on one planet with the one in control.

First movie: Antihero protagonist and his mates are of the different race. They kill, capture important things, destroy important targets, etc. The protagonist's mates are all killed in the first movie. The main villain of this first movie is a woman with ice powers while he has fire powers (Yes we will introduce more elemental shit to star wars ez money)(they have lightsabers ofc). The woman could be a ruler of a certain section of land; we need the other two movies to focus on the bigger picture. Protagonist wins in epic fight. (Use metal gear rising type ost for the soundtracks instead of normal soundtrack stuff).

Second movie: more of the royal family is introduced and the protagonist has to find his way on his own and get revenge for their deaths. (Some were killed by the first villain, others were not). His flame powers become even more powerful. Blah blah fill in plot here, he eventually finds the main rulers getting aboard a ship and one of the knights or whatnot comes to duel the protagonist. Make this guy cool af and flamboyant. Bait protagonist into an honourable duel without flame powers, pure lightsaber. The protagonist gets bested, gets made, uses flames, knight dodges and stabs the protagonist in the heart and the movie ends.

Third movie. Barely survived. Takes on a different identity for a while before having someone or some group give him advice that leads him back on path. Blah blah plot. He gets captured by the main villain (knight is off planet or something. This knight gets made more special because he will be the only one who bested the protagonist ever.) We find out the ruler actually genocided our protagonist's race because he believes that his fury is representative of their whole race and this will make the planet a utopia. Ruler flies him somewhere so they can duel while he monologues. When they get off to fight, the ruler easily wins but it turns out it was a clone. He speeds back and finds his planet in flames as the protagonist genocided his race in retaliation. They have an epic duel and the protagonist barely wins. He feels dejected however and the movie ends with him flipping his lightsaber in the air in a type of lightsaber roulette and we are left wondering if he committed suicide or not.

We will then introduce him into the mcu (multiverse stuff). He saves all the heroes and solos whatever villain they were fighting (galactus or someone else).

Movies continue in mcu while he copes with his genocidal past. Movies keep being made with him and other avengers. The last movie ends with him fighting an extremely powerful villain that could wipe out all multiversal life easily. The villain wants some fun so he challenges our hero in a pocket universe to contain them. The villain's henchmen and army as well as the other heroes fight in the normal universe. 1/2

>>25530544
Two battles at once


He finally bests the villain as he unlocks an anime type power transformation that turns his flames and powers into some of the most powerful stuff in fiction. Figures out his secret to power along the way through the movies. He can essentially use his flames as an energy source to the world and can infinitely generate this. This causes him tons of pain but he could constantly regenerate himself and never age. He redeems himself by being the ultimate sacrifice. Trapping himself in a fortress and telling the heroes to use whatever restraining spells they have on him to keep him in place for as long as need be. He becomes an infinite energy source to the multiverse for everything. Turns everything into a utopia. Even resurrects all of the people he genocided. All of this gives him continuous immense agony but he is fine with it. This will go on indefinitely. 2/2

are you guys excited for Nathan Fielder's new documentary about the Thanos executive Elizabeth Holmes?

In hindsight, when I took out my hard-on in front of my ex when we hadn't had sex for a week and she said, "put that thing away", I should have realized it was over. She ended up cheating on me like a week later. We did end up having a backswing though, probably a way to assuage her guilt. Fine for me.

Spit blood on the page. That's your mark, the teeth are optional. You cant be coerced if you agree that you werent. Future litigation is defered to The Council, and an appointment will be scheduled, pending review, sometime in the next couple of decades. You can object, all citizens are free to object, but arbitration is binding and as the administrator I already know the outcome in your case.

Cheer up. You're still human, right? Look over there, you could be one of those sorry thralls, completely vivisected then reconstiuted with a virtual copy of your conciousness cleansed by tech-gnosis. They dont even know how horrible they have it. You my friend still have the freedom to pay 85% of your now garnished salary to live in a room within a mid-low tier arcology; there may even be a woman to dream about.

Enjoy that cup of watee, free of charge, unless further arbitration is required. Then you will assume the initial cost plus 24% compounded interest over a 50 year term. It's only fair.

>Current day needs something new. Totally new. Something so radical and beyond everything already known that it literally implodes reality.
I was actually thinking about this the other day after your other post. How about a society where all sexual needs are taken care of? You simply show up to a government sex station (or, if you live in a smaller town without those services, go to some public place in your underwear and wait for someone to assist you) and you receive sex as an act of generosity from your fellow citizens. Sex would be treated like food or water.

>>25531346
French utopian writers have already written about that. Sex is only one aspect of life, anyway.

>>25531331
To anyone who's sensible, probably nothing. Still, I feel bitter.

>>25531346
Sex is highly overrated.

The problem with having a cinnamon roll for breakfast is after you finish it, you begin to crave something hot, some actual food, so you end up essentially eating two meals for breakfast!

>>25531355
It's an essential part of fulfillment. It's the equivalent of exploring art and philosophy but for your body.

>>25531346
> Sex would be treated like food or water.
The answer is simple: the formation of such a government would lead to the creation of a degenerate race, for the very same reason with wich inbreeding causes the decay of the aristocracies: the diformed breed together with the formed (because in the final stage of any given class society, being a member of the upper class suffices to have sex), wich results in more decayed offspring, and so on, until the aristocracy or in your case the whole nation dies out.
I very well agree that the current disease is a disease of class, that the increasing gap between the rich and the poor is precisely what is increasingly turning the modern aristocracies into a bunch of degenerates. Perhaps in earlier eras this revolution would not have happened as quickly, for the upper classes always lived together with a stock of servants who in that case would have refreshed the blood of the aristocracy, prolonging its life. Unfortunately for the modern system, robotization will only accelerate the need of an aristocracy turned narcissistic to diverge from the people, missing out entirely on the new sexual revolution, wich happens silently over the decades before erupting into the eradication of the current system.
Maybe this was a bit of a long post but I think I'm onto something.

>>25531398
I’ve often started to consider that the point of existence might not be yeah anything to do with morals, but more so something to do with like emergent or like demonstration, you have to ask you know what was not able what could one not accomplish and some metaphysical, you know what non- non-physical realm that would require a physical realm to exist and so might assume something like demonsrability of some idea within a finite or ordered/numbered system to contain its manifestation

well sex is pretty tied up with love (or at least, it’s better when love is involved). it’s true though that societies used to have rituals in place to take care of sexual inhibitions. soul-shaking magical initiation rites at puberty (as unmissionised african tribes practice) would take care of that. one great mistake of the christian church has been a failure to combine the ceremony of first communion with a dramatic religious disclosure of sexual mysteries.

So that's what those Catholic priests were trying to do.

can the phrase "biscuits and gravy" be translated? does this concept exist outside the US?

I know it's another irrational belief, but the fact that women used to enter my life with regularity and under circumstances of peculiar design up until my psychotic break, which has made me feel as if I lost some fundamental connection to reality, and since then there has been absolutely no instance of this pattern's existence, does reinforce the idea that this break was something more than can be described by a simple mechanistic account of the universe.
It's still ridiculous, admittedly, but a lingering feeling that drains me from time to time.

The general condition society is the society of the increasingly wealthier getting wealthy. Suck it up, loser! We are living in the sexually most illiberal times possible. I mean among the 'cool' societies you have to like, accept all their garbage values and dress codes, effeminate talking manners not to get treated like air.
Everyone else just leads the normie life. We are living like slaves, like the serfs of 1760 France. Uprooted units without a private life other than spending time at home.

I'm not being defeatist in any way, just saying, the poor don't party anymore. Not that you can't get laid anymore or something, just that, society as such only exists for the rich.
There's the rich, that you can rise up to by giving up on your personality almost entirely and become an artificial persona, where you copy their manners, preach their values, dress the current fashion...
There's the uprooted proletarian class, no one really knows in what numbers or what they do in their free time, what their values are but no one cares anyway.
I have found a third way: developping a slightly original personality, an authentic way of dressing up, moreover, watching and listening with a piercing eye and a sharp ear everything that is related to society, grasp every yet so unimportant detail, from there, establish new things to say that are so novel, that merely hearing them can cause someone to shed a tear, or to physically implode from sensory overload.

Yeah, basically this reads more as a compilation of associations without any internal logical structure that would constitute it as sensible interpretation of reality, similar to the construction of a dream. It technically has reason to it, as the associations aren't necessarily random or arbitrary, but it's completely devoid of underlying systematic coherence.
Basically, it's just nonsensical rambling, and honestly irritating to even process.

I do write short stories and poetry, more or less the same style. Not exactly second person but weird "modernist" vignettes and such. Now, I wish I had someone to collab with where I could do more episodic type things through a longer narrative, and I think it would be highly effective, but I may be asking too much.

It was okay. Anyone who is genuinely upset by its relatively benign social commentary is a complete baby, which I find ironic, because it's mostly people with a chronic fixation on masculinity, and those people are probably the most hypersensitive to anything that could even be remotely be perceived as a threat to it, which shows that, by their own logic, they are probably the actually the least masculine people in society.

For sure, but that realization has been kind of perplexing to deal with, because I can regularly dissociate from myself and acknowledge the lack of a central, unifying principle of this system, it's still bizarre that this is not the natural operation, so the fact that reality can assemble itself into configurations of extreme complexity and precision, it would still result in the creation of a foundational experience that is not actually connected to reality.

For my part, I find this 'back to the past movement' utterly pathetic. I do not disagree that the modern times suck, but, we're living the beforemaths of a big revolution coming up, there's few things that beat that. This is the time, a unique era where you can truly become a unique personality because no one is, form new ideas and values that no one posesses. What's even better is that no one will notice them, nothing that isn't filthy rich or adherent to the status quo will become noticed. It will, nevertheless, be noticed, and people will ask: 'What a novelty! Who the hell is this guy?

I'm at a point in my life where if I never felt any genuine attraction or desire or feelings for anyone ever again that'd be fucking great.

is Buddhism just an extreme form of depression?

>>25531751
I acknowledge that, but it's ultimately just abstract narrative architecture that allows the mind to organize experience in a coherent way, rather than being anything demonstrative of an underlying truth. If the self doesn't actually exist, then everything derived from it is equally illusory. So it doesn't make sense to me that the fundamental processes of the universe can generate something as sophisticated as an eye, which requires profound logical integrity, would also create a foundational concept of awareness that is actually untue.

>>25531772
Depends on a few factors.

At it's core buddhism is about ending the universe, and therefore ending all suffering by breaking the cycle of samsara. Metal as fuck. Meditating under a tree for decades until you ascend beyond all humanity and become a literal god free from desire. Also metal as fuck. But, the white people hippie gnostic surface "buddhism" absolutely is.

I sort buddhists into three camps. First, those born into it. No strong opinion either way. Second, those willing to wage endless wars and genocide basically everyone for it. Hell yeah. Finally, those who are practicing daoism for retards with no sense of balance as an alternative to the dogma they experienced in their formal years. Gnostic fence sitting fuckwits who should be entirely ignored.

33 years old and really struggling to keep going.
I had a long term relationship, a house with my girlfriend and it didn't work out and now I live in a shared house with three foreigners in my hometown.
Everyday is a slurry of small talk in the most basic English with no ability to convey higher thoughts to anyone.
I am a mature student on a creative writing course (small time uni) and my insight and ability makes me a big in a small pond, since they are mostly young girls who have no regard for anything philosophical.
I have struck out with multiple women that I genuinely like, but since I a stay in shape I can attract the trashy retards who I end up hating anyway.
No one in my life could articulate anything as remotelt close to even the most midwit insight in this shithole.

Bitch, what do you know of metal? I'm over here stroking my carnivorous errection while bench pressing dead midgets. I reign in blood while it's raining blood during my pseudopathological vivisection. I will ascend on wings of black until I bring back the plague in the zombie disco, while you drown in sulphur during your forced gender reassignment surgery as I entomb you in a machine. In the omnivium, ravaging a peaceful country side, I drink your blood and eat your skin during my skullfuck crescendo.

But in all seriousness, black metal is pretty much built on that premise. I think actively refusing reality as a concious decision isnt really giving up.

>>25531888
It's a step in the right direction, pray ceaselessly. If you had told me just three or four years ago that my Aspergers having ass would be an SSI-certified SCUBA diver today I would have told you that you're fucking insane and that I was too retarded to figure such a thing out.

>>25531704
What made you feel that way?

>>25531879
You're in a strangely similar situation to me. I'm also 33, and roughly ten years ago I completely lost my mind while my life was at its peak and lost everything, including someone who is was deeply convinced was my actual soulmate.
That broke me on a the most fundamental level, so much so that since then I've been completely incapable of maintaining any semblance of connection to reality that feels truly real, among many other things.
I don't really have any advice for you that would feel truly substantial, and even though I feel like some brief, sympathetic connection can offer some temporary relief, it almost certainly lacks the ability to restore any foundational integrity to one's mind.
So, that really sucks, man. You most likely did nothing to deserve it, and are just simply one of the countless victims of the universe's mercilessly indifferent causal machinery.
But whatever, even if you manage to reconstruct yourself to experience some sincere beauty to the world, while understanding it is merely learning to appreciate the intricacies of mirage, which is something respectable in itself, that life is still worth experiencing, even if you're only capable of doing so from a view only shared by the dead.

Magic mushrooms helped me think in different ways and made me better at stopping myself from despair spiraling and controlling my own thoughts better and thinking more positively but it hasn't helped me change things like... my laziness... and my addiction to shit like lolicon pornography... I abstained from it for several months but I relapsed recently. Maybe I need to go into a trip with a more thoroughly set intention... I do feel like certain aspects of my mind have changed for the better but there are deeper, more despicable, glaring issues of my habits and personality that remain unchanged..

Oh well, at least I don't hate myself and I'm not as hard on myself as I used to be which is a genuine improvement. I haven't wanted to kill myself in ages...

Most people who experience a genuine attraction to children have actually malformed neural circuitry. Which exact systems, I don't know, but it's not something that can be rectified through reconditioning your mind in an abstract way, because it's rooted in physiology. This is why the inherent condemnation of such feelings as being evidence of a moral failing is absurd, because it's not anything anyone has actual control over.
So, I guess feel more secure in the fact that you are only satisfying these urges in a morally permissable way, because it's probably something you'll never be capable of changing about yourself.

>>25531995
>morally permissable way
Right, it's not though.

>>25531997
There is no one actually being harmed by the act, which is almost the exact reason the images are incapable of being criminalized. Using them for sexual release is just as morally permissable as a couple who is engaging in rape play.

>>25532001
>sexual release
>morally permissible
Yeah... it's not though. No idea where you got your moral framework from.

>>25532008
I don't fully understand your greentext, because it's so vague it could be construed that you're making the argument that sexual release is inherently immoral.
Most likely not the case.
Regardless, what you're doing is just as morally unjustifiable as someone who murders an NPC in a video game.

>>25532017
>Masturbation is immoral
I cannot think of a single moral tradition on earth where it isn't considered a deeply, sincerely immoral act.

>>25531781
>doesn't actually exist
>illusory
>actually untrue
You're too hung up on that. Just focus on what works, on what's useful. That's your personal truth.

>>25532019
Masturbation being considered immoral by many cultures throughout history is not actual evidence that it is, and there are plenty of instances of it not only being accepted, but even explored as form of spiritual activity.
I'm just going to be a dick in this slight instance, but the fact you can't think of a "single moral tradition on earth" implies that you have an exhaustive understanding of them, when it's clear that you have nothing close.
So, whatever, that was just to resolve a spike in aggression that wasn't actually related to this conversation.
This is most likely going to go nowhere, and I doubt I'm even talking to the original guy, but I guess we'll see.

>>25532075
Hardly, because again, you keep thinking in dualistic terms, like there's the appearance and then the thing-in-itself, the truth you can't seem to penetrate. For thought processes, for personality, for the 'self', there isn't -- all that exists are the actions (which includes thought, of course). The only discovery is in doing, and in doing, we choose what works. Ya dig? This isn't like we're cavemen who come across a light switch and don't worry about why things turn on when you flip it, it just does -- this is more akin to what does a word *actually* mean beyond its mere usage? except it's the usage that defines it.

>>25532082
I don't think recognizing the fact that our concept of self isn't actually real is a result of a flawed, dualistic preoccupation with appearances and objects. I certainly believe in the mind's ability to comprehend truth, even though it's from within its own constructed experience, but I also acknowledge that simply because an experience is constructed, that doesn't exclude it from being actually real. It's an actual part of reality, with a clear phenominology. To say that our experience of reality isn't actually real is completely absurd, because it weren't actually real, there would have never been an instance of anybody ever experiencing it.
That said, the concept of self not being real is a categorically different issue, because it's not a matter of considering an appearance less real than its object, but the fact it's the most central formative aspect of experience, yet entirely a conscious fabrication with no actual substance. So it's less the disconnection between appearance and object, and more the fact that this distinct object is nothing more than an appearance.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant you need to stop being so obsessed with finding a thing-in-itself for the self, as there isn't one, and this isn't a problem. The shifting, competing drives and masks is the heart of the thing. Stop looking for anything deeper or unifying.

Cool, looking forward to it. Enjoy the shit.

There's a popular liberal Twitter account who likes to tweet about gender politics and its effect on US politics. She's intensely second-wave feminist, approaching radfem without ever actually being radfem. The usual stuff: right-wing men want women to be private property and left-wing men want women to be public property, the patriarchy warps all things, women have to stop pandering to misogynistic men, women must look out for their own interests. None of this is wrong, even if I often disagree with her political analysis.

It's hilarious how she seemingly hasn't noticed that she very frequently calls herself hot, sexy, attractive, desirable, a maneater, a woman who possesses such intense sexual gravity that men are barking for a chance to kiss the ground she walks on. (There's also this weird thing she does where she repeatedly reminds the viewer how short and small she is. Lmfao.) She seemingly hasn't noticed that she describes herself this way just as often if not more often than she calls herself intelligent. The second part of that is true, she is very smart, but the first part of that... I'm not being unjust when I say it's not true. She has large breasts and she isn't ugly but she's not conventionally attractive. I always wonder if she hears herself when she posts "men just want us for our bodies" and then her next post is "I am so hot that men shake when they see me." When she posts about men she finds attractive, which she does occasionally just for fun, they're always tall, always muscular, and always traditionally masculine in appearance or in vibe.

I'm starting to realize that this isn't uncommon among straight women who write, think, or talk about gender politics. In fact, it's extremely common. I think this is what happens when your reason is telling you one thing and your desire is telling you the other. There's nothing wrong with wanting to be sexually attractive, after all everyone wants to be attractive and everyone wants to be desired, but it's funny to intensely critique every single aspect of every single facet of how the patriarchy operates except for when it turns you on and then it's actually feminist to always be the small sexy helpless little girl overwhelmed by the big buff manly macho man, but you never talk about that because you know without knowing that it makes you sound very unfeminist. You can just like what you like without all this mental gymnastics. Repression is a hell of a drug and it's always a bad day to be a Freud hater, I guess.

>>25532538
(I think that she's mistaken the size of her breasts for her facial attractiveness. This is the female version of when a man is unattractive facially but is jacked with a six-pack. The patriarchy is real but the mistake is thinking that just because you're a feminist woman means you don't have anything to do with regards to its effects on your desire. We're all confused about ourselves and what we want. This phenomenon isn't unique to men or women nor is it specific to her even though it appears to be extremely strong in her.)

>>25532538
and you jumped right into this three paragraph cross-analysis about her on 4chan with a half-second of self-awareness.
>hilarious how she seemingly hasn't noticed
yeah it’s funny how these things work. no one knows what's wrong with themselves, and everyone else can see it right away.

It's actually the repressive hypothesis undermining her position. I am a large man, unswayed by beguiling females because of my prolific youth. She knows as well as I do that someone of my stature and physique is a threat, and someone who is also articulate and well read is basically the anathema to her locus, regardless of any merit I may have beyond that, which undermines her entire position. So, to minimize her opposition she leans in and winks. She embraces and fetishizes what she complains about, but because she twists it and takes ownership she thinks it's satire, when it's desire, like you said.

The reality of arguing with someone like this is she will be unable to defend her position under even mild scrutiny. She is only allowed her position by virtue of her character and the structure that supports her, so she has no reason to be consistent; hyopcrisy is irrelevant because she knows what she's saying is incredulous in the first place.

Imperfection is not only inherent to everything in reality, but one of the primary reasons that they're able to exist at all.

I have apparently never heard a Slipknot song in my life until now. Apparently they are not considered as trashy as something like Disturbed.

Swim is my favorite word. There is so much you can do with it. There is swimming and there is swam. That’s about it, but that’s all you need.

All my life I have been engaging in the passion of the cut sleeve, but suddenly in my late 20s I have fallen hard for a woman.
Only problem is I still have no sexual attraction to her. Its all romantic and physical attraction, but not sexual. Instead of having sex with her I just want to lie down with her in my arms. The thought of that makes me very happy.
Weirdest shit ever, man. Wish my brain worked properly. I have no clue what to do with these feelings.

>>25532592
swim actually is a really nice word. never noticed before.

>>25532592
also SWIM

>>25532538
They probably don’t mind being sexual, but they want it on their terms.She may wear a deep cleavage because she likes herself, not because she kinda have to to be validated. There’s a difference. It does end up in the same point eventually, but still. It’s like “It’s not you who dumped me, it’s me dumping you” situation.

Writing some gay little philosophical thoughts.

"This, in a sense, almost seems like the foundation of reality is an absurdity, in that it is a causal relationship between existence and nothingness whose nature transcends any ability to be logically defined, because we can only describe it from within the structure of reality, even though it extends into nothingness, which is not something with any logical structure. It is basically a demonstration of the simple fact that no system of logic is capable of determining its own truth from within itself, except applied to applied to reality's furthest conceptual horizon, which is the reason for its own existence, something that can only be understood by stepping outside the boundary of everything we consider real."

I'm going to be famous one day. You'll see. People will call me smart, and I'll start dating a pretty girl who reads books.

Proud of you.

>>25532663
a causal relationship requires two things capable of causing and being caused. nothingness, by definition, is bad at both.

>>25532698
That's a fair objection, so I guess I should clarify the idea more.
Basically, the idea was that reality itself is the only thing that can be considered to have complete logical self-sufficiency, rendering its existence as a necessary consequence of its own internal nature.
But I decided to say fuck that and say it was actually contingent on its relationship to nothingness, the only thing beyond beyond reality's entire nature.
So, even though goblins aren't real, they still exist as a concept with intrinsic logical structure, whereas nothingness has something unique to it, which is that every conception we create does absolutely nothing to improve our comprehension of it, because it is the only thing that we can not even form the most remote impression of. It is something beyond everything that exists, because it is the only thing that truly lacks any existence.
So, basically, within the structure of reality, nothingness functions as a type of boundary condition. It is the exact limitation of reality's capacity to self-generate, because it is the only thing that exists outside.
This means that, even though nothingness is the only thing is we can consider to not have any dimension of reality, this is exactly what makes it the only thing that makes reality's internal logic capable of remaining coherent.
It's like cheeky bullshit, but it's basically "What makes reality exist? Nothing." This seems like an empty statement at first, but shows an actual causal relationship between the two that can not actually logically structured. We can develop extremely complex ideas of how this relationship could possible operate, such as how reality's relationship to nothingness maintains its internal coherence, but we can only describe the relationship from the perspective of the reality side of the equation, which would render the model forever incomplete.

Just got unbanned after 3 (tres)(三)(тpи) months. I am 27 years old. Is it strange I can't find anything of interest on this website. I promise I searched.

boundary condition is a value operating inside a system. nothingness can’t be a boundary condition on reality because it can’t supply a value.

Got published again in a literary magazine in my cunt. Feels good, mam.

My simpleton of a colleague comes to the office wearing this shirt that says “Punk’s not dead” with fitting artwork along, and I haven’t even got myself a proper autumnal wardrobe.

If a man is not a contemptuous cooler-than-thou type from 18-25, he has no heart. If a man remains a contemptuous cooler-than-thou type past 30, he has no brain. The period from 25-30 must be taken on a case-by-case basis, but is usually a case of having no brain.

what are you guys currently reading?

So, basically, nothingness isn't the boundary condition in itself, because it is necessarily beyond the system. What we have instead is how reality operates with the fact that there is nothing beyond it. Basically, we can acknowledge that reality operates in a logical way. There's no possible way that the law of physics could produce an event that was instrinsically contradictory. So, it's not that reality has some concept of nothingness and uses this a foundational structure, but rather that it operates within a system of logic where nothingness functions as something reality is capable of reacting to, even though only as an internal condition, rather than a direct relationship.
Consider the idea of universal expansion. What is actually a necessary logical component of the concept of the universe expanding infinitely with nothing beyond it, is not only the fact that the universe is only thing that exists, but also the inseparable fact that there is nothing beyond it. This is not simply an irrelevant addition, because it's a fundamental distinction between reality being entirely self-sufficient, and it being ultimately dependent on a relationship between itself and something beyond that it is intrinsic to its structure, while having no existence in itself.
So, that's the essential value nothingness provides. The value isn't derived from incorporating nothingness itself in the system, but rather incorporating nothingness as a type of logical ghost. So, what we have is not reality directly responding to nothingness, but rather using its relationship to nothingness as the formative element.

>the fact that the universe is only thing that exists, but also the inseparable fact that there is nothing beyond it
these aren’t two facts. it’s one fact.

I crave female attention.

>>25532817
But it actually isn't, even though separating the two can only be done by a distinction that is razor thin, and the fact they are virtually identical is the probably the best example of their underlying relationship.
The difference between the universe being the only thing that exists and that there is nothing beyond the universe is that the first is an acknowledgement of the universe's intrinsic nature, while the second is more of a statement about nothingness's relationship to it. You can not simply say that the universe is the only thing that exists without ever incorporating a concept of nothingness into the description, because instead what you have is a understanding of the relationship as not there being nothing beyond existence, but that what's beyond existence is just simply unknown, or perhaps undefined.

my house is the only building on the island / there is no other building on the island

>>25532841
That is not really the same thing, as I just showed you with my example that stating the universe is the only thing that exists necessitates a fundamental relationship to nothingness that is not directly expressed by the statement itself, because you can easily say that what lies external to reality is not necessarily nothingness, but some undefined state of being that lacks the structural coherence that would render it capable of actually being considered truly real, or something equally absurd.

>>25532851
>nothing beyond it
is a way of saying the question ‘what's outside?’ doesn't have a referent, not that there's a referent called Nothing.

Honestly, feels mid. Muriel Spark’s style is absolutely marvelous, I love the way she plays with the timeline, but the theme is kinda meh - boys and clothes in post-WWII England. Basically Sex and the City, but make it 40s. I keep going, but don’t think I’ll pick it up for a re-read.

>>25532855
I don't think that this exclusion is entirely justified, because it ignores an underlying conceptual logic between the two statements that would render them equally valid.
Saying something has no referent still gives a relationship to a concept of absence instead of being a strict logical containment.

>>25532866
that’s a category error about how negation works.
