35. Everyone has goals; if nothing else, to obtain the physical necessities of life: food, water and whatever clothing and shelter are made necessary by the climate. But the leisured aristocrat obtains these things without effort. Hence his boredom and demoralization.

36. Nonattainment of important goals results in death if the goals are physical necessities, and in frustration if nonattainment of the goals is compatible with survival. Consistent failure to attain goals throughout life results in defeatism, low self-esteem or depression.

37, Thus, in order to avoid serious psychological problems, a human being needs goals whose attainment requires effort, and he must have a reasonable rate of success in attaining his goals.

SURROGATE ACTIVITIES

38. But not every leisured aristocrat becomes bored and demoralized. For example, the emperor Hirohito, instead of sinking into decadent hedonism, devoted himself to marine biology, a field in which he became distinguished. When people do not have to exert themselves to satisfy their physical needs they often set up artificial goals for themselves. In many cases they then pursue these goals with the same energy and emotional involvement that they otherwise would have put into the search for physical necessities. Thus the aristocrats of the Roman Empire had their literary pretensions; many European aristocrats a few centuries ago invested tremendous time and energy in hunting, though they certainly didn’t need the meat; other aristocracies have competed for status through elaborate displays of wealth; and a few aristocrats, like Hirohito, have turned to science.

2/2

39. We use the term “surrogate activity” to designate an activity that is directed toward an artificial goal that people set up for themselves merely in order to have some goal to work toward, or let us say, merely for the sake of the “fulfillment” that they get from pursuing the goal. Here is a rule of thumb for the identification of surrogate activities. Given a person who devotes much time and energy to the pursuit of goal X, ask yourself this: If he had to devote most of his time and energy to satisfying his biological needs, and if that effort required him to use his physical and mental faculties in a varied and interesting way, would he feel seriously deprived because he did not attain goal X? If the answer is no, then the person’s pursuit of goal X is a surrogate activity. Hirohito’s studies in marine biology clearly constituted a surrogate activity, since it is pretty certain that if Hirohito had had to spend his time working at interesting non-scientific tasks in order to obtain the necessities of life, he would not have felt deprived because he didn’t know all about the anatomy and life-cycles of marine animals. On the other hand the pursuit of sex and love (for example) is not a surrogate activity, because most people, even if their existence were otherwise satisfactory, would feel deprived if they passed their lives without ever having a relationship with a member of the opposite sex. (But pursuit of an excessive amount of sex, more than one really needs, can be a surrogate activity.)

huh

But yeah, I feel like as my goals in life have been brought to a more forefront of my life, that shit like debating about the best guitar tone in rock music seems less interesting to me

and I miss it.

I feel like if I try to debate like that though, it wouldn't be as authentic - an old man dressing in shorts and a shirt to try out skateboarding again

I'm honestly surprised no one ever talks about Tessa Brook's last line in her verse. They talk about the previous line (Yeah I smell good) and how stupid it is, but no one talks about the line that follows it. "Is that your boy's cologne?" implies that Tessa has been with some girl's man and she stole him. I'm surprised that no one has been calling out Tessa for being a hoe.

wtf

only if their next song is like their last

The best thing you can do is let loose and absolutely avoid thinking about what the other people are thinking about you. If you think about how awkward you are, it will become outwardly noticeable. Just throw caution to the wind, have fun, and people won't think twice about you; or, even better, they'll appreciate you and be glad somebody at the gig looks like they're having fun, and maybe loosen up a bit themselves

just bUrself XD

Smoke a fat doobie, take MDMA, and hug every beautiful soul you see radiating a purple aura

All you did was make it longer, the album fucking sucks, listen to the basement performance which is great and be done with it

>>75058258
The album doesn't suck though, it was just too short.

They gave that album a 9.4
