Pleasant read with some pretty prose. Nothing mind blowingly deep about it but an enjoyable story. If it was any longer it would be boring.

1984 is not about surveillance, you fucking dipshit. Go actually read it, you pseudo-intellectual waste of space.

It's what it's not for. Literally the only reason that's such a meme is because of the deliberate demonization of the term.

What's the difference between neitchze über mensch and your typical sociopath?
One person said that while both reject given values, the socio path doesn't create his own. He just works around values, going so far as to pretend he has them.
Are there any other discrepancies?

sociopath can bullshit his way into society, ubermensch scorns the rabble and the rabble senses it.
>>
>>9220510
Not exactly correct but close
>>9220480
Its whats driving them, the problem is a standard sociopath may still be operating under the fantasies prescribed to him by society and so while he doesn't care for the interest of others he's still being controlled by them.
An Ubermensch is able to constitute his own will
>>
ubermensch is intellectual condition, sociopath is psychological
Would it be easier to learn to speak Japanese first before learning how to read and write?
I've seen arguments like this made because "when you're a kid you learn to talk first - learning it all at once makes the language feel artificial and cluttered".
For what it's worth I learned hiragana and katakana years ago but learning kanji was too much of a pain in the arse.

You don't necessarily have to learn to speak the language, but you 100% have to learn to understand the language and the fastest way to do that is by conversational exercises.
You could, hypothetically, learn to read and write and listen in the language without ever speaking in it, but it would be unnecessarily difficult when access to speakers of other languages is so easy.

I hate the world. I hate my life. Or maybe I hate the way I view the world world, and I hate myself. I want who I currently am to die. I look in the mirror and hate what I see. I see an ugly, undesirable person, destined for a life of loneliness. I look out into the world, and I hate what I see. I see cold, uncaring, shallow, egoistic people, judgmental people. Nobody that wants me. I feel inadequate. I see inequity and roadblocks at every turn. When I speak to strangers, I feel unconsciously on the defensive. I'm in this sullen, sulky, melancholy mood most of the time.
What happened to me? How do I change?
Am I just in a rut? Is this just a state of mind? Brought about by consumption of western media? The western cultural narrative? That I'm not good enough? That the world is a cold, harsh uncaring place? I really don't want to be here anymore.
How do I change? Do I move out of the country? Disconnect from all media? Blow my brains out?

If I were a genie and could grant you a (reasonable) wish, what would you want me to change?
>>
>>9219898
I'd like to see the world as a more affectionate and welcoming place than I do currently. For my insecurities to disappear. For a helping hand from the universe, to get me on my feet, and to see the possibilities of how I may enjoy life. Perhaps a benevolent, wise, empathetic person, with unconditional love for me. I've tried to be that person. A strong person, and I've been humbled many times.
I suppose physically and materially, according to the current narrative that I am embedded within and have told myself, I'd need a smaller nose, lots of money, and brazen confidence and security.
I'd wish for wisdom and new perspectives.
