Do you ever wonder why normies do the things they do? What's

No you haven't stumbled on a universal truth, you're simply projecting your own state of mind on everyone else.

I don't try to reintegrate. I agree with you 100%. So did Schopenhauer and others.

Once you've experienced a good relationship and a good friendship, you want it again.

But I suppose any type of relationship is pointless, like you said. Even as pointless as it is, having someone by your side is comforting.

>>25742748
Your understanding of the world is at about a middle school level.

You think you're being really groundbreakinng and inventive, but everyone else out of high school thinks you're a fucking idiot.

Come back in a few years and try again.

So what is a better worldview?
'Muh feels'?
'Maybe if i spend my entire life lying to myself and getting fucked over I'll be happy someday'?

I'm not convinced.

>"Cultivate your garden [i.e. create a little zone of comfy and spend your time there]" -- Voltaire

This is what I've done in my bedroom by becoming NEET.

>>25742938
That's a fragile situation. Focus on becoming independent and cozy.

>But robots are free from this
The fact that over half this board is pissing and moaning about finding someone to love them means they're not free from anything. They're just too stubborn or incapable of getting what they want.

>What's so good about facebook, instagram, snapchat and whatever else they use?
They probably enjoy the attention and shit like that. Plus they can easily keep in contact with others.

>Why are friends good? The only thing to talk about is something they or you did with a different friend, or talk about something you are both interested in, but you both already know of said thing, so there's no point in talking about it really.
You can explore something new together, helping each other understand by trying to see through their eyes, different perspectives and all that. Also, building a friendship with someone could prove useful in the future should you need help. Not to mention most people get quite lonely without. Helping a friend can also make you feel good.

>Why are relationships good? The only thing you stand to gain is sex, while losing a portion of literally everything else in your life, It's not equal exchange.
Sex isn't everything to gain. Sex isn't even necessarily that good depending on you and your partner, and many people who regularly has one-night-stands still wish they had an actual relationship. It would be easier if you just explored this yourself but basically, if you spend time with someone and you come to find you care a lot about the person you might find yourself wishing that the other person care as much about you as you do about them. Plus a mutual understanding and trust.

As >>25742828 says; you have a long way to go if you don't know any of this, I'm afraid.

>>25743013
Very much so. Most robots would probably accept a normie life in a heartbeat if they were given the chance. They are literally a slave to their desire for it.

>What's so good about facebook, instagram, snapchat and whatever else they use?
They're commonly used forms of communication and as such they grow in use because other people use them to stay in contact with one another. You can debate the validity of the converse that goes on, but ultimately, facebook and the like and 4chan are two sides of the same coin for different types of people. In short, its a way people can connect and contact one another, and thats why people use them.
>Why are friends good? The only thing to talk about is something they or you did with a different friend, or talk about something you are both interested in, but you both already know of said thing, so there's no point in talking about it really
This is incredibly simplistic view of friendship and you appear to be retarded for believing this tripe. Some people have friends that are more diverse and intellectually developed than a can of tuna, so friendly discourse can be not only assuring but stimulating. We're social animals. Its in our programming to associate.
>Why are relationships good? The only thing you stand to gain is sex, while losing a portion of literally everything else in your life, It's not equal exchange.
Again, this is so simplistic to the point of idiocy. Relationships- or rather, romantic relationships have a so many nuances and potentials that listing them to you would be pointless. Romance isn't all about fucking someone, and the fact you believe this shows you have an extremely narrow worldview and thus limited learning.

If you sincerely believe robots are free from the want and pain of loneliness you've quite frankly not been on this board more than a day.

>>25742906
If the alternative is locking yourself in a room feeling self-pity on the internet, its clearly a better alternative, since your course of method only leads to death with zero chance of, well, anything.
This entire board is nothing but "muh feels", are you retarded?

I know normies without Facebook accounts (mostly males though). Girls tend to attach far more value to Facebook and Instagram and all that fake shit.

>>25742748
>Right now, you've beaten this system, you've escaped the farm, so why do you keep trying to get back in?
None of these people have escaped anything. They're still pathetic, lonely insects blindly living their lives as parasites. Some are more comfortable with this than others. Others revel in distracting their egos with mindless blame-games. You have a lot to learn about the world at large and even this board if you believe any of this abject garbage you just bothered to type out. None of these people have escaped anything. They've just not attained anything, either.
>babby's first anti-social philosophy
You're pathetic OP, you fit right in here.

>>25742748
In the end, everyone pretty much wants the same thing, tiny insignificant satisfaction points. When you select a waifu, beat off to porn, or get exp or something in a video game, you feel slightly more satisfied until the satisfaction wears off. Similarly, normies feel more satisfied when someone laughs at their joke, gives them facebook likes, or has sex with someone adequately attractive. Everyone has desires about what they feel are things they want, and things they want to accomplish. Except if your parents weren't normies you wouldn't be alive, if everyone were robots we'd all be dead, and that's why normie things which gravitate towards social interaction, cooperative team-building, and reproduction are valued more highly than your small personal achievements, and based on biology they're going to feel happier from those.

You have only "escaped" from furthering your race and interesting yourself in tasks you feel are productive but others don't, and thus the satisfaction you feel is probably much smaller than it would be if you succeeded at normie tasks like getting a nice job or fucking an attractive mate. If it makes you happy, good for you, but it's not like you've found a secret way to live life better that normies haven't discovered.

>>25742748
>you've escaped the farm
what for? what good does it do? yes, everything, to a certain extent, is pointless, including the escape out of the system. it really doesn't matter whether or not you're actively participating or silently revolting inside of your room.
every being seeks for happiness and satisfaction. some get this by accomplishing personal goals, some by establishing relationships, some by causing drama and much much more. and this is why you're actually an idiot; you're essentially just projecting your own perspective, drive, compassion and ideals onto other robots with phrases like:
>you feel empty inside no matter what you do
where is the data on that? exactly, inside of your own pathetic head. that's what you personally experience and not an universal truth for everybody.
>but you both already know of said thing, so there's no point in talking about it really
in that case, if that is true, why don't you spend your time traveling the world, exchanging opinions with everybody you meet along the way, since in that case, they're unfamiliar to you and hence you have no idea what their stance is, what their hobbies and troubles are, etc.
would that give you a point/reason to talk with others? personally, i doubt it, but the rationalization of your emotions is measly.

either way, this thread is dumb, you're dumb and I'm dumb for replying

I don't think you guys understand

This isn't my philosophy for life, it was a simple fleeting thought, i understand why a social creature does what it does, but It's fun to think about it anyways, come up with some far-fetched ideas, and ultimately dismiss them for the original thing you know to be true.
It would be way too ironic to be real if i wanted to talk to people about my anti-social ideology, don't you think?
I can't say i expected this much bitterness over it though.

Your "fleeting thoughts" are atrociously idiotic and it offends me as a self-styled thinking man of decent literature to see that another man that bears to respect themselves even bothered to think this tripe, let alone spread it around, then attempt to cover your stupid ass with "I was only joking".
This is /r9k/, of 4chan, of course people are bitter.

>>25743423
Its really pathetic that you have to string up a strawman of normalcy if you think that people are driven to anger or offense over some weird idea that they're offended at "the veil being lifted from their eyes" with this poor excuse for analysis of social discourse.
These ideas are just plain ignorant. But you're a typical /r9k/ poster, you'll just shitpost about fuckin normies maaaaaaaaaan.
All of this shit can be applied to robots on /r9k/, but you're all somehow special snowflakes.

>>25743388
Well, I (>>25743094) wasn't bitter until I now realised I spent time responding to meaningless drivel that you don't care about.

>>25743098
I wouldn't say that forums/socuial sites are usually that similar, on facebook most people use it to interact with people they already know, on the other hand 4chan is way close to a hobby site where you don't know/care that much about who your interact with, but the interaction self.

Whether they're actually similar depends upon how you want to put it/define the similarity, but honestly I'd say that to most people facebook/4chan isn't really comperable, though some sites obviously are combinations of both, making the differences negligible

>>25743388
the main problem with your idea is that there's people like >>25743423 who actually start to believe what you're saying because they are not capable of actually thinking for themselves.
as long as somebody gives them a semi-logical explanation like you did, they'll take it for reality. more likely than not, they frequent conspiracy websites and seriously believe they 'figured it all out'.

and that's very sad. of course, i think you're free to believe what you want, but it's better to think about it first by yourself. so yeah, go ahead and have your thoughts and ideas, feel free to share them, but keep in mind to actually make sure everybody gets it's merely an idea/thought right off the bat.

>>25743521
As >>25742781 mentioned, OP isn't the first person to take this position by a long shot.

Accepting loneliness replaces 10000 intractable problems with 1 manageable one. It was already a reasonable lifestyle but the Internet age has bumped it up to Great tier.

>>25743579
accepting loneliness is not the problem here; the problem lies within OP's reasoning and explanation.

I mean, they're not completely the same, but they're still places online for people to converse, spread ideas, and bullshit, its just ones set up different than the other and that makes all the difference in how people comport themselves and the sort of content they bring to the site.
But they're similar.

Not really, I don't think facebook is about spreading/discussing ideas for most people, it's just about sharing/discussing their lives/what happened to them, social situations/photos/stories/drama etc. If you're going into groups and such, it can get a bit niche and you can try to discuss something, but I really don't think that's how most people interact with the site, but I might be wrong, since I haven't been on facebook for years. The most I can think of would be groups that spam pictures/funny maymes

we've been pigeon-holed into a system that allows for gross hedonism and promiscuity, but still runs on the out-dated foundations of marriage and monogamy and community.

basically right now our system favors those with the most privileges and the idea of community is a lie. no one is going to help you.
if you are at a disadvantage, everything is rigged to make you feel worse about it, also, everything is trying to nickle and dime you, there's a toll just to exist and taxes to pay.

I never said it was a joke.
I have no need to 'cover my stupid ass' and save face on this anonymous image board
However, it is pretty ignorant to think that there's anything that isn't worth thinking about, and while i worded it in a way that would get the most attention rather than reflect a truer form of what i was thinking about, i still think It's very interesting that we live in a time where being social is more or less obsolete and irrelevant to leading a successful and fulfilling life, but we're still compelled to be social, even though it is likely to cause problems and emotional pain.
And looking at divorce rates, divorce laws that favor women extremely, and the prevalence of casual relationships, It's strange that anybody would buy into any of it, not even from hypothetical point of view.

>>25743755
>we live in a time where being social is more or less obsolete and irrelevant to leading a successful and fulfilling life
This has been never less true than ever before. Literally any kind of career field is basically oversaturated to the point where you're only getting in through your social connections. Anybody can get the training to do just about anything. All thats left is how nicely you play with others and whos willing to give you the position.
You're recycling tired /r9k/ talking points that don't really have a basis in reality and are just the musings of children with limited world experience and learning.
Who fucking cares about divorce rates?

You're saying we need to be social because we're social, I'm asking what we gain from being social in the first place when we already have everything in place to function without any social connection.
If we abandoned the method of hiring somebody because they are friendly, and hire based solely on skill and aptitude, natural selection would take care of the rest.
>You're recycling tired /r9k/ talking points that don't really have a basis in reality and are just the musings of children with limited world experience and learning.
That's the point senpie, the question is why it doesn't have a basis in reality.
>Who fucking cares about divorce rates?
People who don't want to pay alimony and child support

>>25744230
You know... some people want other people around, for no function other than to be around. It's like asking why would people listen to music alone.

>>25744230
Divorce rates don't really mean anything since they're not really a good indicator of much past how many idiots marry into shitty situations and get broken out of them, so I don't understand /r9k/'s preoccupation with them.
You gain everything from being social, I don't see how you can sanely think anybody can live in an asocial bubble their entire lives and be happy, successful, or fulfilled. The only people that come close are NEETs but they still need to circlejerk online to feel good about themselves.
None of this has any basis in reality because you draw biased conclusions from incomplete information based on opinions.

well i made a social media to reply and get news abt the youtubers i liked. ive actually made a friend who i love very much and im glad i went into the normie realm for a bit to find a nice person
and your whole "friends are lame, everything is worthless :((((" is pretty stupid. once you stop being such a dick about everything and actually make a friend youll understand. i think it's the way humans were made or whatever but i get happy with other humans. knowing that care, even though theyre a couple states away, is the best feel.
