ITT: recent philosophical discussions So I was walking in the

are NEETs contemporary monks?

>>2015360
No, contemporary monks are contemporary monks.

>>2015360
in a sense, yes.
we are the philosophical and spiritual leaders of our society.

>>2015406
>leaders
lol

Unless you become independently wealthy then go NEET you'll always be a slave to whoever is supporting you, be they family or the state. If you don't do as they demand you lose your food and shelter.

of course wagecucks wouldn't understand, all you know is slaving away for mr shekelstein.

>>2015468
Do you have a counter to my point or just insults?

I don't feel like this is worth its own thread, but

NEETs are utilitarians of the highest order and Nietzsche is precisely why I abandoned NEETdom.

Not because work is inherently virtuous or some shit. But rather because I need money to finance my budding-ubermensch lifestyle and I needn't be afraid of the suffering of work.

>I abandoned NEETdom.

closet normie

>I need money

>what is neetbux

>>2016205
Even despite having autism I don't get enough of it and given the conservative direction of politics these days I can't be too certain I'm going to continue to get it for the rest of my life so I need to strive for a certain level of financial independence.

Not that wage slavery is independence in itself, not by any measure. But I can invest the money I make in creating a better, more free future for myself.

You people really are ridiculous.

I'd tell you to hang yourself but I know your hollow life will lead you to it in time eventually. Please keep to your containment board too, you manchildren aren't allowed anywhere else on the site.

enriching myself by reading history and the classics for 8 hours a day?

>>2016459
For what purpose?
>inb4 enriching myself
Naturally. But what are you hoping to do with your enriched self?

>>2016463
to enlighten my fellow /his/torians by sharing knowledge?

>>2016469
Is that all?

>>2015360
we're the new aristocracy. you work, and we reap.

>>2016486
You say that as if NEET consumerism isn't itself a form of service to the actual ruling class.

>>2016486
this. more like landed gentry

>>2016486
hmm, NEETs are too hedonistic and materialist to be monks

>>2016463
>Existing for others instead of living in and of itself
It's like you're not alive at all.

I went to retail orientation last week, but it didn't hit me that I wasn't a NEET anymore until I saw this thread.

FUCK I'm going to be staying up in the day and collecting a shitty paycheck soon.

>>2016520
yes we're transcendent

>>2016520
That's the exact opposite of what I'm trying to get at.

The point I was making is that you can be as enriched as you want but there must be some material goals as well in order to truly embrace life.

Alarm clock beeping
Wagecucks weeping
Time for floor sweeping
And burger flipping
While NEETs are still sleeping

Put on your slave collar
Each hour you earn a dollar
Your dignity level grows ever smaller
Better run fast when customers holler
While the NEET is being a baller

>>2016435
get a load of this wagecuck getting uppity

must have really struck a nerve fellow neet brothers

Who are the NEETs of history?

Are we the ronin samurai or knight errant, wandering without masters and forging our own path?

Are we the Greek philosophers, seeking the highest stimulus, both physical and mental all throughout our lives?

Or are we the many great prophets in the world, Jesus, Mohammad (pbuh), Zevi, Zarathustra or Confucius, seeking to create a better life of spiritual fulfilment beyond vapid materialism?

What do you think /his/?

>Neckbeards. Living in mom's basement. Completely dependent on others whims and kindness. One big argument away from cardboardboxdom.
>Ubermensch

Make sure you don't cheat on your taxes, they sustain me!

I hope business is good for you this year.

>>2017244
God-emperor Trump advises me paying few taxes makes me smart, as does my accountant. Careful how you spend your food-stamps, niggerlet.

>>2017265
Make sure you always pay a lil extra to keep the IRS away TOP KEK

If everything wrong doing nothing is the only right thing.

>>2017333
Possibly. However, leeching isn't doing nothing.

>living for something other than being a net positive
I don't get it. Yeah, toil is stupid.
Motivated work toward making the world a better place is where it's really at

Hello my fellow subgenui.
Good to see fellow humans that understand slack.
May slack and sex come your way.
Praise Bob! Eternal salvation or triple your money back.

>Are we the ronin samurai or knight errant, wandering without masters and forging our own path?
They are still employed, so no.
>Are we the Greek philosophers, seeking the highest stimulus, both physical and mental all throughout our lives?
This is possible.
>Or are we the many great prophets in the world, Jesus, Mohammad (pbuh), Zevi, Zarathustra or Confucius, seeking to create a better life of spiritual fulfilment beyond vapid materialism?
Also possible.
