During all ages there have been men who have felt that the juice of matrimony simply ain't worth the squeeze. Courtship has always sucked. The risk of getting stuck with a fat, ugly, nagging wife after a few years has always sucked. It comes as no surprise that intelligent upper class men like Kant and Newton would be especially susceptible to opt for celibacy. For the peasants, fucking would've been pretty much the best - sometimes only - form of entertainment available to them. But an upper class bachelor can take joy in his intellectual pursuits instead. What's the point of putting all your energy towards humoring cunts, when you can get the same or better utility from decyphering the mysteries of the natural order and working in a little wanking session every now and then?

I tried reading Critique of Pure Reason and got filtered by the first sentence
>Human reason, in one sphere of its cognition, is called upon to consider questions, which it cannot decline, as they are presented by its own nature, but which it cannot answer, as they transcend every faculty of the mind.
Why does a sentence need to be this long and annoying, yes I know what he's saying but you could say it so much more simply, and it isn't a translation issue since it's just as if not more autistic in German

Skill issue. All the competitive games I've played, I'd consistently climb ranks. I do know your issue has to do with shooterslop though. I've only played competitively in RTS and card games. Turns out sticking to what I'm naturally good at worked out and I've dodged the corrupt matchmaking mechanics and account seeding of more popular games.
The negative part though is how all the games I'm good at are dead now.
I used to be in the global top 100 in Warcraft 3 for a couple years straight, but hardly anyone plays anymore, it's all just dying e-sporta now with the exact same players competing every single tournament.

Are you aware of the ethical question know as the Gamer's Dilemma?

>The Gamer’s Dilemma consists of three intuitively plausible but conflicting assertions: (i) Virtual murder is morally permissible. (ii) Virtual child molestation is morally forbidden. (iii) There is no relevant moral difference between virtual murder and virtual child molestation in computer games.
>>
>>725219121
Kant is a fascinating author, because he starts out being pretty comprehensible early on in the Critique, but as he slowly piles on more and more terminology which he invented himself, you begin to lose track of the meaning of half the words and you end up with shit that appears to be wordsalad to anyone but the most hardcore Kant autists. I needed a glossay just to read him past a certain point.

>>725219824
To be fair, Kant has so views on such disparate areas of Philosophy that you can arguably subscribe to, say, his metaphysics, without necessarily needing to subscribe to his ethics. Now, Kant might disagree that this is possible, given it's all meant to be one unified system, but it's not like the man was infallible.

When you're IQ is high enough there is a pretty good chance you can see past animalistic instincts and shallow beliefs and just don't want to be bothered with women and shit like that. It's like how a lot of high IQ people are misogynistic of racist too, they can just simply see women and animals for what they are. It's a rational conclusion.
I don't think my IQ is that high but that's how I feel and I see it in many people smarter than me.

It's not a good thing. Wouldn't it be amazing if smart people were horny and couldn't help but reproduce? Or if they attracted women like violent retards do? If it were like that we could get smarter as a race, but instead we stay stupid because a woman's instinct is to choose a violent retarded monkey before anything else, and a smart man's instinct is usually to recluse.

Somehow, game devs made online multiplayer an unfun chore. The only joy I get out of it now is just curbstomping plebs. When a new game comes out, it's fun for the first few months when everyone is trying to figure out the game. Then it just gets sweaty and lame.
I remember back when you would just jump into a lobby, RP as the soldier you are and immerse yourself in the world and battles. You'd only start trying when someone started sweating, and most times, people just ganged up on the sweater until he quit. What happened to sweatshaming?

Think about it logically, what are the benefits you're going to reap from marriage? An intelligent man can already pay for a prostitute, maid or an orphan if he wants companionship. You only lose by splitting your funding for some vacuous hobbies your spouse wants.

/lit/ loves this retard. You'd think /lit/ would be a board for talking about Moby Dick or Lord of the Rings, but it's literally just a church to Kant and his dumbass followers. If you ever wondered why Europe is poorer than America it's because of this guy. He realized belief in God and science were incompatible, and instead of just leaving it be (like Anglo-Americans) or suspecting God might really just not exist at all (like anyone with an IQ over 110), he surmised God must exist outside of what science can explain, and this caused a wave of other grifters like Kierkegaard and Marx to chime in with anti-science propaganda. Essentially, feelings over facts: if people believe something, it must be true in spite of the evidence. That's the gist of continental philosophy. Meanwhile, the Anglosphere was like, "If it works, then it's real, fuck your feelings." And the results were what you'd expect.

But to answer your question: no. A single-player game is like reading a book, but multiplayer games are like playing sports. Do people generally think sports are worthless because they walk away with no progress? Progress in what, actually? When you beat a game, are you a better person for it? Does anyone care? I can't even remembered how many games I've beaten or which ones. I played them because they were fun; I stopped when I stopped having fun. That's the entire point of games.

Because educated people back then had higher attention spans and they spent longer reading which means that that sentence, which to you and me might read as convoluted and verbose, was easy to read for them. You also have to consider that he wasn't writing for the general public.

1. Intelligence isn't sexy. Nature selects for intelligence, people don't. The evolution of human intelligence is thanks entirely to nature throwing mammoths and plagues and blizzards at humanity and killing off the dumbest people. The people themselves had no hand in it. This is why once you eliminate natural selection and leave fertility entirely in the hands of individuals, intelligence steadily declines. While it's true it takes two to tango, it's not like these guys had hot girls hanging off them, so if they were going to get laid it required them to put in effort and they had more interesting things to do. It's also worth noting that men don't usually care about having kids, women do, so it's rare to see some genius go running around looking for a womb to bare his fruit, the selection would have to come from women and they'd rather reproduce serial killers.

2. Most reproduction happens by accident and smart people have fewer accidents.

3. What's society? The kids that bullied you in school? The colleagues that fought against your ideas? The women who give you pitiable looks as they hit you with worthless information like, "I should have married a nice guy like you"? That society? I'm pretty sure when they died, they didn't spare a single thought for these people, because they didn't deserve it.
