Money buys drugs, property, health to as much a degree as physically possible, it buys you sex, it makes women and people in general treat you like a human being

Money is literally the root of every possible thing you could have in life but because you dont have it you claim money doesnt grant happiness.

Money doesn't just grant happiness, it grants you entry into doors you never knew existed

Honestly people who claim money doesnt buy happiness are worse than gays. They're basically giving you advice on basis of having given up and speaking from intentional ignorance. They fucked up their own life so now they have to fuck up yours "because they care about you"

Let's just throw away your anecdotes and talk directly about yourself, i have no control or ability to reference "whats in your head"

>Money can make you comfortable, sure.

Yes, do you understand why? money is called a currency, which is generally accepted everywhere in exchange for goods and services

>Money in and of itself will not make you happy.

Money can buy me 4chan, buy your IP address, go find where you live and shoot you while you sleep, and then there is no more adult 4 year old making comments about his misunderstanding of what money is, and trying to promote it because of the false assumption that you benefit from ruining other people's lives

How do you know this. Have you ever questioned where your advice is coming from. have you ever questioned how much of the stupid shit you believe to be true was designed by females to benefit themselves?

Equilibrium. Being happy all the time isn't natural and, therefore, doesn't exist (this is why heaven isn't a thing unless the process of dying alters us to a point that we are no longer ourselves in any meaningful way). This is also why humanity CREATES problems where not logically should exists. We are designed by nature to to challenge ourselves for no other reason than to overcome those challenges. This process is so varied, it seems at times that "shit just happens". Nope. Nature is your daddy and you're the bitch.

Basically, balance the bad with the good (use each to serve each other) and you'll be as happy as humanly possible. How to do this depends on the individual and his/her current circumstances and location.

>>722218178
Somewhere around $70k/yr annual income (Basically 1.5-2x national average income) you reach the peak of where money can indeed add happiness to your life. Above that, it's diminished returns and you'll find often more wealthy people are even less happy than people who have less.

>and you'll find often more wealthy people are even less happy than people who have less.

Let me complete the statement that youre not capable of understanding

Rich people are in the process of getting more rich. they have to make wise decisions, preserve their wealth, they are dealing with the fact that people now treat them with respect because they are rich. They think that people only like them because they are rich. they dont understand that there is no genuine concern or friendships to begin with

The statement here, is "does money buy you happiness."

Money does not only buy you happiness, it buys you victory over your enemies, it creates possibilities you didnt know existed, it buys you quality of life, you do not understand what money is and because you don't understand the concept of currency you've decided you "have an argument"

The only time money doesnt literally buy everything, everything, do you understand this word? everything, you can buy drugs, you can buy the withdrawal drugs so you can use more drugs, you can buy handjobs with money, you can buy new arms and legs as far as science can offer,

The only time money doesnt have value is between warring states, for example, America will not sell arms to x countries, or accept x dollars, outside of that there is literally nothing money cannot buy. I don't have to say this, the fact that i even have to say this means you should take a knife and slit your own throat

I've been broke and now I'm not, I make a fuck ton of money and I'm no happier than I was when I was getting by but not wealthy. The bottom line is that if you can't be happy making $70k/yr, money is not going to make you happy.

You're forgetting that wealth brings new problems while it erases others. It's your viewpoint and mindset that determine happiness, not your environment in nearly all cases.

Money will buy you therapists, money will buy you tutors to teach you the concept of currency, money will buy you bungee jumping from hot air balloons, you will discover hobbies you didnt know you could have and enjoy

This is what your REAL argument is. you are poor, and you intend on keeping poor, because by doing so, you dont risk your personal relationships

For you to extend yourself to claim that money cannot buy happiness you will be crushed and thrown in the garbage every time you try this

Try having everyone you know come after you for money and wanting hand outs and scheming at how to get money from you. People who didn't used to come around, now want something and you somehow "owe them" because you've worked hard and been fortunate enough to get ahead. There is also the fact that most people with wealth are driven by underlying insecurities and lack of internal fulfilment - this is not something that goes away because you make some cash. You now have even more to lose and people are watching you and you're afraid to disappoint them or lose what you have and let people down. Simple comments you used to make are now taken out of context because you have more money and people choose to take offense. Wearing a nice suit, watch and shoes does give you respect from some people but it results in disgust and mistreatment from others who make assumptions about you. The more wealth you acquire, the fewer genuine friends you have.

I'm going to have to go with the bhuddists and taoists on this. The only way to be happy is to stop wanting or desiring anything.

>>722218679
This is essentially above, framed in a way more receptive to western thought.

>>722218914
Part of it, but too vague to be useful. Happiness is the product of a mindset. Contentedness and calmness is the product of a well-ordered mind. See both above.

>>722219661
Unhappiness stems from unmet desires and unmet wants. Happiness is a product of having no wants. Money can buy a very large degree of wants, but rarely will one be able to fulfill every want through money, at every moment, nor will it fill more subtle wants, such as the desire to not die, etc. Learning to not want is the other approach.

The vast, vast majority of people will never have enough money to satisfy every desire they could ever have, and the vast majority would become deeply miserable in such a pursuit. Further, it is ignorant not to consider that, as with human nature, as any particular want is satisfied, another fills its place.

>>722219801
see >>722218679.
Framed in nicer words, don't take life too seriously. Its only a game anyway. Learn to take pleasure in any given moment you have.

Stop. Breathe. At this very moment, are you in pain? Are you fed, clothed, shelted? And if not, if you take whatever pain you may have only at face value, only as a raw experience or sensation, does it still make you suffer when you remove your opinion or judgment of it?

Does looking to the past make you miserable? If so, then why look to the past, when it does nothing to help your present situation? Does looking to the future make you anxious? If so, then why look to the future, when it does nothing to help you present situation? Your ability to look past and forward are tools. Use them as such, only when necessary in making decisions in the present.

Accept and live in your present moment.

Celebrities who got it all (fame, perfect body/face, fortune, possessions, life experiences, youth, etc) are often depressed or unhappy. Just open any celebrity gossip magazine and all you see is drama over drama over drama. Happyness comes within, not from what other people think about you. You have to find your own internal stability in harmony with the exterior.

Would you rather be successfull and have everything you want in the world but be unhappy or be a complete faillure but be happy?

The more I grow up the more I realise that happyness is only a question of perspective. Some got it all and are unhappy, some got nothing and are happy.

Where is this going "making money" "Western society" i dont have to cure the cancer that's in your skull. That people who are rich are "bad people," the thread is about happiness, first and foremost, and to a lesser degree, slashing people who dont understand currency and think they should promote this

If you want happiness, look toward acceptance of your surroundings. Go read Lao Tsu's Tao Te Ching.
If you want wealth, that's an entirely different series of books.

So do I. I've honestly been reading a lot of older philosophy lately and its kind of disturbing how accurate it is. Even the bible, if you look at Jesus as simply a "wise person" trying to teach within his cultural framework. Marcus Aurelius and the Tao Te Ching are honestly both solid reads. The Tao of Pooh is also a pretty great little primer to Tao for westerners.

Their philosophy overall might have been pretty shitty, but they were pretty good at making themselves not miserable.

I think its just a little bit of love and some buddhistic philosophies that can make middle class human happy :>

Actually I lean towards nat soc but ideally I want a libertarian nationalist state that is mostly white. Either way it is irrelevant.

Your argument is "Money is not money" or "money doesn't function as money"

that Money cannot be used as what it is, money

What you have addressed in attempting to create this argument is by addressing random people you've never met, and likely dont exist to begin with.

Let's look at the example you threw in. Celebrities will have stressful schedules, they might have drug problems, they might have been raped by their employers to get their job. They might have poor sleep schedules,

All of the actual sources of unhappiness can be solved by money, moreso, than for example, what you pretend is better than money, pine cones and paper cups.

Not an argument child. Happiness is just dopamine being released in your brain. Culture can condition you to think there is only one way to be happy. If your iq is over 90 you could realize that there is nothing you could possibly do to get around this. Prehistoric hunter gatherers feel the same shit we do.

Money would have bought condoms to prevent their son being born a faggot who spams "autistic," and uses IQ / English harass as his only form of communication. Money would have put you in a better school so you dont have to be raised by the television and have the Jews design your entire "personality"

I just looked at your picture, lmao, youre a nigger, niggers, gays, feminists, all of these degenerates have been at war against the human race for decades now, what do you think youll accomplish, you will never be human

Money would buy a nuclear device to blow up every major population point in africa

Money buys prison systems that takes you off the street

Money buys basketball stadiums that you spend your entire life trying to play for

Money buys the drugs that you sell

Money buys the drugs that you use to land white women

Money buys you a mail order chinkaroo bride so that you can give your kid the lighter splash of paint and human genetics

Think about this every nigger in America could go buy a phillipino wife, and your kid would actually pass school, but because retards on 4chan convinced you money isn't real you dont do this

Money buys you a ticket to, and a house in Brazil, where you could escape "evil racist white man system"

happiness doesn't come from achievement, if you cannot be happy with what you already have, you will not be happy with other things that will come to you.
Money, sex, beauty, travelling, your dreamed degree and other good things are just part of the way, the easy part were you don't get to sweat, but things like fear or dreadfull moments are the ones that makes you appreciate life, you may not feel happy when you are going throught this moments but once you go over them, you will feel happy once again.

Is it such a hard concept to grasp? Money does help us, it can assist in a happy life by providing food, shelter, covering our needs and providing things we enjoy or that can enrich our lives - but you hit a point of diminishing benefit once you get to a certain income level. Beyond or below that income level, the largest thing that determines your happiness is your state of mind. It's not your environment around you as much as it is your perspective, choices, genetics and other factors.

The argument you are thinking of, I dont know why you threw in the word money, because I will simply come and beat the shit out of you, educating you what money is

The argument you are thinking of, your happiness, the only type youll have, you will never have money, is when you aim below what you are capable of doing.

When you re-play a video game, or waste your life going to school for women's studies. You knew you were intelligent enough to go to school for STEM, you could have done so, but you went to school for garbage, so now you tell yourself you're happy because you didn't apply any effort to your life

Doing what others cannot do, achievements, success, pushing your physical limits, doing what I am doing now, winning arguments against complete fucking retards on 4chan, using well constructed arguments against chipmanzees, just for the amusement of being better than you

There is far more happiness to be found in striving in life and accepting reality than to do what you're doing, setting your bar lower than it should be.

>>722226442
>Is it such a hard concept to grasp? Money does help us, it can assist in a happy life by providing food, shelter, covering our needs and providing things we enjoy or that can enrich our lives - but you hit a point of diminishing benefit

There will never be a diminishing return on currency. More currency buys more things, and opens up new limits to what you can buy. Stating a simple fact destroyed you, broke all your ribs and left you bleeding from the mouth,

"money isn't money" is the same as vegan threads, black "equality" threads, mac users, all you have to do is disagree with these fucking retards and you win the argument.

>>722226048
and yet if no one wanted those things, they would not need money to get them, and they would not be unhappy not having them. Attachment causes suffering, it's completely true. After those people get what they want, they will seek more, and this will be perpetual unless you change your mindset. You know it is not that simple, you can give a nigger everything in the world yet he will always have a reason to chimp out. That is why appeasment does not work, people who have the mindset of wanting, always want more. There is nothing wrong with wanting to accomplish things with your life, that is perfecrly fine, but realize that happiness - is just a feeling, and if you were to purely only pursue it - the best way to do it would to basically be extremely content.

There's nothing open minded about being injected with your poison, the lack of understanding of currency, the only thing in this world that matters.

Look at your own faggot behavior. You are attacking currency. You could have attacked footballs, llamas, emus, air travel, refrigerators, but you decided to attack money. Even in your faggot skull, you understand that money is the limiting factor in anything you want to do.

Even in your faggot skull you understand the importance and ability of money so that's exactly why you've decided it's "evil" and people who respect currency should be "educated" and told they are closed minded.

There is nothing "open minded" about being gay. Open minded is what i am, i chilled with dumb queers such as yourself, I learn about politics, the planet, I study, i build my own diet, i try different foods, this is what open minded is.

Open minded has nothing to do with putting things in your ass, or using the same accusations of not being open minded to win fights you can't win. This is why you shouldnt let the jews write your personality for you. When you want to actually have discussions your fruit ass cannot do it, you think you'll tell people they're "bigots" and "closed minded" and you'll "win" whatever retarded argument you came up it, in this case, that money does not function as money

exactly.
The problem with money is that it tends to put more value on mimetic desire (see René Girard for mimesis (yes, same root as the word "memetics" : the latin "mimesis"))

Money will articifially raise the price of something that everyone wants.
Money breeds jealousy, and then it's a self-fulfilling prophecy, a vicious circle

One who can see beyond the price tag can hack the money ladder.

Though I'm not one who'd like to reverse it. Think of the antiques specialist who can buy rarities for cheap, and sells it 10 times more money, he's a true connoisseur of life. Or at least of his own field.

>>722220522
I have heard every sociologist and every Oprah philosopher state this as fact, and yet the times when I am most happy in life is when I have the least amount of interpersonal relationships and obligations, and the most amount of time to be alone in nature.

Some humans, maybe even most humans, are a social animal, but I would avoid making blanket statements about ALL humans.

Humans are also overwhelmingly a primitive aggressive self-interested species, and the less time you spend dragged into other peoples bullshit, the A, more miserable, or B, happier you will be?

For me it's B.

And yet, if nobody wanted what things. This is the concept of currency. You do not have to trade items to people who might not be interested in what you have to offer. You give them a universally exchanged item so that they can then trade that for somebody who does have what they want

Money.
All other happiness follows.

If you make yourself unhappy in the pursuit of money, you are human.
If you don't, you are lucky.

>>722226804
>There will never be a diminishing return on currency. More currency buys more things, and opens up new limits to what you can buy. Stating a simple fact destroyed you, broke all your ribs and left you bleeding from the mouth,

This is comical that you're not grasping this. Think of it this way... Someone who has nothing, doesn't even have basic needs met. They are unhappy because they are hungry, cold, lack medical and dental attention, etc.
Once your basic needs are met (food, shelter, warmth, medicine, etc), with a certain amount of income, you're going to be generally happier. A bit more money can open up some additional things that contribute to happiness - vacations, experiences, gym membership, education.
But at some point your income goes beyond needs and basic wants into something far less impactful on your happiness. So buying a watch can be a cool thing, but does it matter if it's a $20 watch from Walmart, a $200 watch from Amazon or a $20,000 Audemars Piguet? Not as much as some think. You certainly aren't 10X happier with the $200 watch than the $20 and are most definitely not 1000x happier with the $20k Piguet.
I have some very nice things, but my joy from acquiring them is probably less than when I received a toy for Christmas as a 6 year old.

Now after 45 minutes of you having to be taught what currency is, you've decided that "the problem with currency," what the fuck, you're creating a mimic of an argument, but this is how you actually create an argument

You identify what something is and then explore the benefits and negatives of what youre addressing

You've decided that because I have to teach you the concept of currency youre immediately going to pole vault into explaining the issues with that system

This world has run on currency for what, thousands of years, and those thousands of years are the most recent thousands of years, there has been no gap in time where this world has not run on currency

Happiness is also lowest in the industrialized nations. We like to think there is something noble about sacrificing our happiness and well-being for the good of the ideology of wealth & power hierarchies. After all, even though our lives may be an unsatisfied, miserable mess, look, we have iphones and slightly less crappy cars and slightly bigger crappier houses that take us decades of labor to pay off, and that's what's really important. Things.

This is the cultural meme that was allowed to take over in the late 1700s, because it made some people very rich, some people very hopeful of being rich, and ruined everyone elses lives. To protect the perfection of our ideology, we blame them, because they must be shitty people and deserve to lose if they're not winning.

At least the British were open about the purpose of the lower classes, as unintelligent broodstock that exist to man the factories and the guns, and stfu and stay out of trouble the rest of the time.

An effective recipe for world domination schemes, not a recipe for maximizing happiness. The solution is to devalue happiness.

So the answer is, what the fuck is wrong with you that you want to be happy?

The emotions of the soul are subordinate to the Heart (right lobe). They have no objective thought content. They amplify the thought of the Heart. The emotions are subjective. They respond or react to the thought of the Heart. The emotions may respond to noble thought of the heart as appreciators of the soul, e.g. response to love (Gen 43:30; 1 Ki 3:26; Phil 1:8; Philem 12, 20; 1 Jn 3:17), happiness (Prov 23:16; Philem 7), and Bible Doctrine (Psa 119:103; Prov 22:18; Jer 15:16). Or the emotions may react and fill the heart with deceit as the destroyer of the soul (Jer 17:9).

> your ideologies cannot be used anywhere in this world

I have an ideology? Several of them? And you know all about what my ideologies are, of course. And you know which ideologies can be used anywhere in this world by all manner of people at any point in time.

You're quite sure of yourself, aren't you...

I consider all ideologies, and am beholden to none. Guess again, wizard.

Yup, since youre slightly altering my words to throw in a hook to get me with, health then money

Money buys you personal gym, personal weight room, supplements, vitamins, machines, running track, clean water, nutrition, house in lower pollution, better breeding partners for healthier children, and when you do become sick, money will buy you new arms and legs

And to further investigate the claim that only 70k makes you happy

This is people living the normal lifestyle, after 70k you no longer hit the bump where youre poor. You can buy all the walmart shit you want to have

There is no doubt that money opens up entirely new worlds once you do adjust to the lifestyle of having it, and using it effectively

So far what's been discussed is poor people's lifestyle, where they have retard family members trying to leech money from them, and hypothetical rich people who are also living this same lifestyle

When you are rich, you can have a water slide that goes from your bedroom to your kitchen, and there is nothing you can do to deny that this will make you far happier than walking to the kitchen

How do you respond to nihilism though?

Happiness is a relative term. Happy compared to what?
I have been rich and I have been poor. While wealth can remove misery, it does not make you happy. While poverty is a source of misery, some poor people are the happiest people alive.
Meaning, money helps with happiness, but it does not guarantee happiness. Nor is it a requirement.

Overall you get what you give.

For me, it's trying to reach insight and higher levels of knowledge. Being able to criticize and spot errors and misconceptions in trends/articles/movies/discussions/arguments (you name it) grants me happiness, because I then know that I've climbed a bit above the people that swallowed the information without doubt. Ontop of that, I feel happy when I feel small and humble. The moments I realize how insanely meaningless and useless I am in the big pictuer - I feel content and happy. I can then turn away from the world and just focus on my inside and inner experiences. So yeah: never interrupt your knowledge development and try to become smarter, be curious at everything - even if you hate it, never be ignorant and always be humble. Those are my ingredients to occassional happiness. I'm a social phobic with OCD, but lucky with genes and standards and I live for the occassional happiness.. and I mean who doesnt

i can invent scenarios too, however, what you are attempting to combat with your invented scenarios logic where you create the terms and people and can add and take away anything you wish from it,

you are attempting to defeat currency. Currency. what is used to purchase anything and everything, and has been for thousands of years

Currency is literally currency, not the emotional problems you have, not the imaginary people you invent to defeat it, currency is a global item that can be exchanged for anything you want

The odds are stacked against you young fag, chances are, by trying to make people uncomfortable on 4chan for a couple hours, you will not be able to defeat systems people have found optimal for thousands of years

If you dummies want to know where your "money doesnt buy happiness" thing comes from, women only marry men who have more money than they have. women only need men for money. Women have their own tits they can play with, they never have to do anything, they have hundreds of friends and support systems, women have created positions for themselves where they will never be held accountable or criticized.

"money doesnt buy happiness" is what women convinced you because the only them women use men for is money. It's the brain cancer to create you into the perfect disposable battery.

You know why you faggot pieces of shit couldnt poison me after I educated you on the function of currency. Because i am a free man. i know the invisible prisons women have created for me. I know what is real value. I know that the female is a valueless person who destroys the man's value, and only acts towards promoting her own value in the eyes of the male

Woman is the most effective and successful cancer (at what it does)

This is where you homo fuckers have been taught "money doesnt money" and that it's better to marry ugly piece of shit women than attractive ones. All of these cancers make no sense if you spent 10 minutes thinking about the things you believe and all of them were put in your mind to benefit women

>>722233777
How about you fuck off, nigger.

>>722218178
You can't.

You're an animal and your emotions are tied to a part of your brain thats still quite primitive. Evolution doesnt change things it adds on.

As such you will always exist in survival limbo.

You must feel you have enough food, adequate shelter, a trustworthy social circle, and reproductive access.

But emotional instinct also drives to want more.

So after all that, you need hobbies, goals, accomplishments, you need to increase your standing (perceived or otherwise), and always be growing learning and getting more (material or otherwise).
tl;dr

Just be doing something every day. Chill with friends, have a good job, find another if its not good, have projects, eat well, and avoid addiction...

But even then you have to keep going. Stop and you get le depression.

Also if youre always miserable despite doing all the above, you have either an attitude problem and need a new perspective, or you have a clinical disorder and need a doctor.

Finnish. thats what im going to learn. Finland women are attractive, the country has all sorts of forward thinking policies, it should be the last to fall to jew media and immigration

Finnish doesnt have future or past tense in their language. its not associated with any other language. it was created in its own language tree

At first i thought i'd learn mandarin, but then i lived with chinese woman and chinese women are cunts. Chinese marriage satisfaction is one of the worst possible. Going to do finnish. Should be a nice country also. let's see. Maybe finland sucks dick

>>722236304
Funny enough I have a legit educated answer...

Mandarin chinese doesn't really put much focus on past and future. Its very present tense and as such it warps the chinese' perspective onto the here and now, so they tend to worry less about the past and future and more on their current feelings.

Not sure if it works out if its not your first language because first language has a huge effect on your brains' development, so Im not sure if you can absorb those attitudes.

But learning any other language at all has positive effects on your brain, and even reduces your risk of cognitive decline later in life, especially alzheimers.

Pro-tip, Norwegian is the easiest language to learn if you speak english as a first language.

Similar grammar and syntax, and a lot of shared words.

This is what all of your argument is you stupid fucks, you think you will be punished for keeping your own money because women need your money. You think money is a "person" or an "emotional argument," money is what facilitates everything

Does money make you happy? Maybe but it sure as shit takes the sting out of being poor.
Money is a facilitator. It opens doors. You can get shit done and have fun doing it if you have the money behind you.
Are rich people unhappy? Of course. But they lack imagination and would probably be unhappy no matter what.

This is essentially what women do. happiness comes from power, from being able to care for people, from having attention, from being free as a kid when it comes to accountability.

Happiness does not come from having to clean up feces, dealing with people who act dysfunctionally, or for taking accountability for people who do act dysfunctionally

Women have hoarded all this world's happiness for themselves. Which is why, you have a 50 / 50 chance of being happy in this life at birth. You are either born female, or you are not.

If you are born female, life is an amusement park ride, all you do is eat cotton candy, and then when your funds run low, pretend that all your glitz and glamour your wig, your nails, pretend that you actually "love a man" and all this could be his. Then you suck him off a few times, take all his money, and get back to the amusement park.

If youre male you are expected to go to school, run society, get divorced, have romances with a completely worthless and retarded gender that isn't capable of doing anything themselves.

The only thing you can do as a male is free your mind; understand that money is the only thing that matters, which is the truth, tap into the truths that women fully understand. Being a male who is happy is not supposed to happen. Be careful, you are going against the system.

The only thing in the English language that makes my skin crawl is the term "white people." not the word white, not the word people, when you put the two together, white people.

You know it's being said by some retarded fucking nigger, who has never invented anything, even today his society is based on community rape and genital mutilation against both women and children from neighboring villages. He hacks each other with machetes, douses each other in gasoline and lights the match, he shits on a public beach, has no plumbing, no hospitals, he eats dinner with a dead ebola body in his living room.

He is using a computer, which he will never invent, even in a hundred million years blacks will never invent computers.

White people is when an objective failure, who is sexually unappealing, who is seen as lower value across the world, even in Brazil, has decided that because Jewish media convinced him he built pyramids and transdimensional travel, he has a reason to criticize the only race that has ever done anything for him.

The only thing women understand is moods, if you want to be happy, do what they do, run from discomfort, never try anything difficult, if somebody challenges you or says something you don't like then play victim and act offended.

>>722239732
I never said that it wasn't good for it. I'm well aware, exercise especially. The problem is sticking to it, I'm gonna try and go out and run at least twice this week.

Starving to death, watching your children fill with parasitic worms and catching AIDS while being raped really does sound fun!
That's why so many people give up their wealth and take up the lives of African peasants voluntarily, right?

There's a limit to how stupid you should be, even on the internet.

Bro you are the level of WOKE that us plebs even hope to achieve. How does one achieve this level of intelligence?

Hobbies, keeping yourself busy
I like to read a lot, play guitar, listen to music. Occasionally do sports but then drop that for several months before starting again.
Also having a girlfriend helps. I feel like most things are more enjoyable because of it even if they don't directly involve her because if things go to shit in one way or another I'll still have her (except if that's the thing going to shit, then I'm fucked)

Do it man, I didn't mean to sound harsh. I've worked as a psych nurse for 20 years and can't overstate how effective a bit of regular outdoor exercise will be for you. Even better if you can find people to run with.

Have you actually read the Dao de Jing? The original doesn't contain the kind of nonsense usually shoehorned into Western translations. It's extremely vague and closer to poetry than prose. Sometimes 4 Chinese characters are translated as English sentences of twenty words... All that extra detail isn't coming from the ineffable Dao itself.

I attended an all female class, before sexuality, so i got to see what females are like when it's just them behind closed doors. My own mom ruined huge opportunities for me before i removed her from my life

I am an inquisitive person so i started to research MGTOW, mens rights, pick up artists, red pill, reading women's profiles, watching women and men interacting, questioning everything I am expected to assume as true

On a basic level i hate women, and i want to know why, so i rub the coins together in my mind until things starts to make sense, until i come up with facts that can no longer be challenged, I built the framework, and gradually different things come together and answers present themselves

A woman is a person who, has no value, she destroys the man's value by putting words in his mouth, fucking with his judgement, acting like he hurts her by seeking his own happiness and success, that he hurts her by doing what he knows is right. The woman is not a logical creature; the only thing that matters to her is her level of comfort. And ultimately, the only thing she does do is assert her higher value over the male

When test tube babies become real thing women will be murdered by men, most of them, because the woman is nothing besides a parasite that requires on illusion and has no practical value

Porn is a major help - porn removes the need for sex, doubting you will have kids removes the woman's gatekeeper role in creating children, and you are left with judging her for how she makes you feel, as a person, and the ways she benefits you, which is for you to decide. I haven't found any ways they do. They are shittier men who think its funny calling you a rapist. they can never talk to you like youre human nor can they think beyond their comfort level

Hey retard it's a start, and better than not at all. hopefully it ends up being on a more regular basis

>>722240670
Yes it will. It will give enough benefit to motivate further exercise. It's called "a start" and that's sometimes all it takes with depression.

Although your not wrong, nigs have only contributed penut butter and aids, what have you contributed besides narrow minded bigotry. It hypocritical of you seeing as how your still struggling with sexism, racism and believing money is the root of happiness. I'm not convinced you should be giving advice just yet.

You told me my mind isnt free, that I'm somehow wrong to understand money is literally the only thing that matters, you told me i have to be introspective, because I've posted 20k words in this thread while you post some green text faggotry, and then tell me im blue pilled, while others are complimenting me and asking me how i know so much about womens true value

I am a shot gun in close range, i hit you in every one of your body parts, youre a french pistol from 1927, you couldnt hit me if you tried

>>722240566
i dont have sex with anything. I take my dick out of my pants and i jerk it off. sex is the same as blowing your snot from your nose. You can either do it, and get it over with, enjoy yourself, drink a beer and do it, watch any porn you like, go as fast or as slow as you like.

Or, you can involve a downie female, have to go at her pace, figure out the million things she won't say, and then go to the doctor to get rid of chlamydia every 4 months

>thanks for that, it's been a while since I saw actual autism
autism spam, edgelord, I dont know why youre alive. somebody should kill you, like, actually kill you, take your life from you. You can't communicate, you dont enjoy your own life, you can't think i dont know what the purpose of you being alive is, I think you feel this way stronger than i do about yourself. I think you understand how worthless you are.

Youre a random poster on 4chan, your priority is spamming mindless abuse, what position are you in to ask what ive contributed

>Mandarin chinese doesn't really put much focus on past and future. Its very present tense and as such it warps the chinese' perspective onto the here and now, so they tend to worry less about the past and future and more on their current feelings.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Wtf are you doing, nigger? Have you ever met a Chinese person? They're almost all super neurotic. As someone who's lived in China for 3 years and been married into a Chinese family, I can tell that you've never so much as shaken hands with someone who eats rice every day.

Also, learning Mandarin did absolutely nothing to change my worldview. It's just a language.

To the extent that language can change the way you think (it can't do much), you should try a stranger language, like Japanese.
