Yeah, we all bitch about how the deck is stacked against us, and while that may be true, if we wanted to, most of us could have anything we wanted.

The thing is, though, is that we don't want them. Or rather, we don't want them badly enough. We've prioritized, whether we've realized it or not, and have chosen this addictive self-pity and shitposting over breaking free from the clutches of r9k, sitting down for 8 hours a day, and developing a skill and doing something with our lives. Sure, some people may have made some short-term efforts and given up when they didn't quickly yield results, but that's not really the same as an honest, long-term effort.

This may not have been a conscious choice, but these are the trade-offs, and we've picked ours.

I'm >>26047611

Basically what this guy said >>26047661

Not everyone is capable of everything

For example,i'm into pcs and technology since my earliest years but somehow i can't program for shit.I just fucking can't,there are some things that you're not capable of doing.

That's an evolutionary mechanic of the human nature i guess,if everyone did whatever they wanted there would be no actualy progress in the species.

>>26047568
>>26047612
>>26047661
These are people who have never made an honest effort in their lives, and have chosen to believe that their life is out of their control, as wallowing in the pity of being dealt a bad hand is better than acknowledging that their shitty life is THEIR fault.

That's not to say that some people AREN'T dealt a better hand than others, just that most of us are dealt a good enough one to do something of worth.

Also, did you pursue every possible learning route for programming and try to do it for 10+ hours a day? If not, you can't say you aren't capable. If you wanted it BADLY enough, you would have found a way to overcome any obstacle.

I actually agree OP. On the surface this sounds like bullshit, but when you break it down (which you did not really do so well), you start seeing that it's true.

There is a great comic about this concept I saw floating around this board once. Maybe if I can find it I can help all these retards understand.

>>26047710
>if everyone did whatever they wanted there would be no actualy progress in the species.
Definitely.

If every kid who wanted to be an astronaut actually went and became an astronaut then we would have too many astronauts. There wouldn't be anything to do with so many of them.
And while they were all scrambling for the seats on the next rocket, people would be dying of diseases in hospitals and schools because there's no-one to clean them. People would starve because there aren't enough people to help on the farms. Trash would build up on the streets because there's no-one to collect it.

Someone has to shovel the shit. It's sad, but that's how it is.

>>26047781
That's exactly my point,i seek balance.Sure i can become an excellent programmer but that would require TOO MUCH time and effort.

In my opinion,if you don't balance work hours and non work hours you've failed.

>>26047847

>People would starve because there aren't enough people to help on the farms

I want to work on a farm tho. It's actually hilariously hard to become a farmer.

>>26047847
Yeah,exactly my point.We were born in good living conditions and we're somehow lucky so we don't have to shovel that shit,be thankful for it.You may not fullfill your dreams but you will definitely have a good life whatever you do.

I don't trust any of you any more after seeing the results of the poll everyone took

>>26047847
It's not that if everyone gave their all that everyone could do almost anything they wanted, it's that, given the world we are in where everyone DOESN'T give their all, than any random person COULD do almost anything they wanted to.

For example let's say you want to be, if not the best, than ONE of the best contemporary drummers, but you may not have as much natural talent for drumming as some other drummers. But, if you practiced drumming 10+ hours a day, you can guarantee that you will be better than most because most drummers WON'T be doing anything close to that.

>>26047896
Owning a farm? Sure. That's hard.

But they hire people en masse when harvest comes around. Help with picking and packing and shit.
Usually they'll pay some cheap immigrant labour to do it, though.

>>26047863
True, but MY point stands, that if you REALLY wanted something, odds are, you can have it. You don't want it as badly as I have described, or rather, you want a balanced life MORE.

>>26047522
>tfw most of us are capable of ALMOST anything
not how genetics or human nature works. Most of us have genes that limit or favor certain directions in life. It takes a certain personality, body, and hormone structure to be an athlete while it takes a different profile to be a programmer. We can't just be whatever we want. That's transcendental bullshit

Also, professional athlete is an extreme example. but the odds are, if you practiced efficiently for 10+ hours a day on your shooting or batting or whatever, you could be a lot better, and maybe play in the minor leagues (and who knows, maybe even the major leagues). There are limits to this but still, any random person could be a lot better than they are.

>>26048031

Yup, and everyone currently living will cease to exist hundreds of years from now, and all of the achievements humanity has accomplished on our home planet will perish millions of years from now. Doesn't mean you can't stop being a self-loathing, cynical little bitch. People these days seem more readily willing to die, and fear trying to live.

>capable of almost anything
Define anything. If you're complacent with being a businessman, programmer, or any other meaningless job, perhaps.
But I've given up, as my dreams are an impossibility. I'll never be an Olympic weightlifter or ping pong player. I'll never be a genius mathematician or a wise philosopher. I'll never be a super soldier who completes missions with ease due to the superiority of my genetics and acquires skills. Sure, there may be things out there I could do, perhaps I could land a job that would earn me an upper middle class lifestyle, but why? Why do such a thing if it will not bring me the happiness, the passion I so crave? Why live a life I do not believe to be worth living?

I have failed. I failed long before i was even born. There is nothing I can do.
So I will continue to sit here, eganging in various forms of escapism, maybe lifting every now and then, maybe studying mathematics or philosophy occasionally, dreaming of what I never even had the opportunity to accomplish.

if you don't believe the lifestyle it would take to accomplish these things than you don't want them, at least not as much as you want what other lifestyle you have opted for, but my point is, to an extent you could have more if you WANTED it badly enough.

You won't come close. You'll keep falling short and looking ahead at what other people get easily. You'll waste your life working harder than everyone else around you and still never getting anywhere. On your deathbed, you'll be filled with regret and failure.

That's my point, that you don't want it, or don't want it badly enough (it's not worth the cost), so you don't take the necessary effort to pursue it

But you could if you did want it badly enough

Just reminding people that there's a good chance that they can have a lot more, but most of them have unconsciously made the trade-off not to.

As for any good this thread does, IDK but since when is doing good a factor in r9k threads?

But ok, Maybe if the people on it actually sat down and weighed it out in their heads, they might decide pursuing some of their dreams is possible and worth any of the opportunity costs.

Look, we could all learn to program and play guitar.Will we ever be good enough to graduate with a degree in music or computer science?
No, the point is even working 10+ hours a day for years wouldn't lead to a job. Even having a degree might not lead to a job
Even still while I'm learning those thing I will have to work at a minimum wage job all the while coming home alone...worthless...tfw no gf.
Do you really think I have the motivation to do all this shit when the odds are stack so incredibly in my favor?
I might as well just work my way up some corporate ladder or go to school for some useless arts degree because those things are actually accomplish-able and make me feel less of a failure.

I came to the realization that I was an object like any other, and entered a hypomania I still enjoy as of this moment. My body felt like wax, and the ever-present red behind my eyes, and the solumn, quiet weepiness of my body and the world made me feel like candle among candles.

So, if a building or artifact can survive for thousands of years, why can't I? And if I replace my body with the strongest, longest-lasting materials, the result will be identical to myth and legend. I wrote an essay about this;

>Alchemical Diamond bodies
>http://freetexthost.com/yub6deoafi

The idea is to promote the notion of the body as no different from any other matter - a radical materialism that reaffirms panpsychicism, as per Thales and Anaximander. Like a car, the body can be modified - it can be maintained indefinitely, and improved.

You can do something other than shitpost all day. The only person who can save you, is you. Other people can only point the way.

Even if you do make the conscious, long term effort and exert yourself 100% there is no guarantee you will be a success or you'll reach your goals, I know this sounds like defeatist thinking but it's how it is.

You can't guarantee anyone happiness no matter how hard they try, that's why it pisses me off when people say things will get better. It might get worse, a lot worse. All I can guarantee is that you will some day die and then it ceases to matter, whether you were happy or miserable.

I agree, I don't know. It's vastly subjective to what you're trying to achieve. There is some form of effort to put in to the benefit of achieving that goal.

Most of those setbacks stem from them not being able to connect to people who understand them. There are ways to help it, but as of late they are really daunting/Unknown. Perhaps I or someone else can devise a system to make it easier for robots to find people who understand them.

Let me make it clear I'm fully aware that there is no guarantee in life for pretty much anything. I argue that the vast majority of robots have the potential to change their life's for the better.

He was rejected by every single woman in his life. Yet he overcame that. He went fucking deaf. Yet he overcame that. And you're sitting here, complaining you weren't born a master at something, and claiming other people were? Shut the fuck up.

There isn't much to that tbqh.It's mostly about logic. If you understand the basic structure, all you do is copy shit from lists of already existing pieces of code because you don't want to risk to fuck up and go though hundreds of lines of code and check it to the caracter in detail.

i was just thinking tonight that if you applied to a job to lay down the physics of a 3d game engine you're basically a fucking genius. like they don't hire on aesthetics but rather if you can actually do that.

on a lot of other jobs (like a lot of them) chad and stacey are hired because of the halo effect. being aesthetically appealing is a huge factor in job hiring process.

I have a full scholarship and fellowship and I will be starting my PhD in math this fall at age 22. I learn everything really fast. I also have artistic and musical ability. I am just really, really apathetic and suffer last the whim of emotional current. Doing work is physically painful to me.

>PhD in math this fall at age 22.
Damn, I've wanted to do something like that since I was a kid. Good luck, man.

O I'm sorry I forgot this was the normie board now.

i learned how to code, along with some other productive hobbies.

the problem is, without social skills (i.e. the capacity to be extroverted and to get others to *genuinely* like you) you can't succeed in this life.

I hate having to job hop every year due to the workplace eventually becoming hostile/toxic to me.

Being social is pretty much everything

>>26052995
In what way does being a failure make me a normie? Did robots know NEETdom was their only option from birth?

>>26052694
You are seriously dumb. You literally admit it. The point is that no one is born a master at anything, not even the ultimate masters, not even 'Chad,' so stop using that as the ultimate excuse to never try. You'll never be the best at anything. Either accept it or kill yourself. I actually have a fucking music degree asshat.

>le society is fuxked xD
>the joker is right xDDD
Go back to listening to Nirvana, kid.

>>26053074
Yes exactly you wont be the best at everything.
In fact I already know that...I'm almost the exact opposite.
I'm worse at everything. I'll do things I like but not because I want to be better than people. Once I'm bored with what I'm doing I'll stop.
Sorry I'm not trying to impress anyone.
Back to the discussion of being worse at everything though. The point is there is no point in living if for the entirety of your life you could never get a gf, have friends and yada yada yada.
And it's just not about accepting it anon. The things I want...it's built into me...I could never get over them. So your basically just telling me to kill myself...asshole.

My nigga, I also taught myself C from having learnt Java. Now gotta go on to C++, but I don't think I'm slick enough with C yet, don't want to get ahead of myself.

Taught myself guitar too, partly classical. I must definitely recommend that; classical guitar is beautiful and can be a great outlet if you're willing to suffer in private a little.

It's like you're willfuly misunderstanding what I'm saying. Just kill yourself.
>>26053159
You should kill yourself because you expect everything while putting in nothing.

>>26053697
Ok well your just a faggot who doesn't understand shit. And I don't care what degree/job/normie status you have. You seriously need to look at the world around you.

You're an immature degenerate and you shouldn't be playing music.

I'm trying to write some music. I really want to write a concept album, but I'm still forging out what the concept will even be. I wanna somehow talk about my relationships, mental illness, and drug use in a brilliant metaphor. I was thinking about setting the story in a psych ward or maybe make it about a haunted house.

I think the haunted house one is a pretty good idea. Most of my hallucinations and delusions have been about ghosts and spirits, and I can make it so there's like a "relationship" between the person and the house. Or maybe a relationship between the person and a ghost. I just don't know how to bring drugs into the mix, maybe it's a junkie living in the haunted house? I dunno. It's gotta have a very creepy, noisy sound if it's gonna be about a haunted house. I can use very clangy and echoey sounds to reflect the emptiness of the rooms.

It's a good thing I got high tonight. Now I've just gotta rough out the details of the story, then start writing the songs.

What's useless about coding? I helped me get my first job which I currently work at for a year and it's good money too

>>26054058
You will never get anywhere.

I'm not saying it to be mean, I've just been there many times.

I've fucking got it. He's addicted to a research chemical that's supposed to be like a narcotic hallucinogen. When he takes this drug, he sees the personified spirit that occupies the house. They start a relationship, things get really rocky, and then the whole house comes crumbling down House of Usher-style.

This is brilliant. I'm gonna do this.

>>26054247
You're wrong. I have so much time on my hands now that I'm single. I do nothing all day but play guitar and browse 4chan, it's like a 50/50 mix. I have to tape up all my fingers because they get so cut up and blistered from fingerpicking.

yes and no

sure, instead of shitposting i could
>exercise
>practice guitar, writing, and art
>research some future opportunities and potential jobs
>wageslave
>read actually useful books
>explore some new hobbies, watch new movies, find new music, etc
>learn a language or whatever fucking shit

yeah, shitposting is probably the most empty and useless thing to spend your time on, but it's not like things are really set in place for us to be that productive

>friendless KHV
>education
>going to have to be a wagekek soon
>depressed
>normies expecting me to, on top of all this, take out the few things i enjoy and replace them with guitar lessons and exercising

eventually enough is enough. a few tough people might be inspired to get out once they're pushed too far, but others are just consumed by it all. normies don't do half the shit these posts keep claiming we should be doing and they have an army of support and friendship to back them up and push them through if they do.

tl;dr you can't expect a depressed person to go "yeah i'll go learn some random fucking skills in my little bit of freedom" and hold them accountable if they don't.

It doesn't have to do anything at all with free time.

>>26054427
Well I don't know what the problem is then. I've written an album's worth of songs when I was a teenager. There's no reason I can't do the same thing now, but with plot to it. I just gotta write the lyrics and try to forge a distinctive sound.

My therapist says it's good for my brain to be writing songs about my life.
