Guys, intellectually I'm all spooked out. I can't stand philosophy because of all the unfalsifiable garbage. Many fields like economics etc are just applied common sense and stamp collecting. I see novels as nothing but entertainment despite pretentious people claiming life / philosophical insights and tonnes of people will consider you a disgusting plebeian if you don't initially read shitloads of boring as fuck canon novels.

I think I am painfully adapting to the idea of the Internet age / information overload by abandoning any pretension that I can be an all rounder or even dilettante in everything. There are ten trillion books called "Introduction to [broad and important field]", even if you only have one of each field.

History is similar to novels. Shitloads of reading along with a shitload pretension thrown on top telling you that you truly cannot no nuthin unless you have an in depth understanding of the Greeks / Romans / Christianity / USA / WW1 / WW2 / financial systems / or shitloads of other topics I can't stand it. And then there's current events. I don't care about climate change, outer space, inequality, China, the EU (as long as it doesn't stir up too much shit), applied psychology, the education system, diversity (as long as people aren't treated badly), Russia, South America, refugees, nutrition, mental health, and more. Admitting just one of these would make me an iredeemable idiot, no doubt.

Has anyone else had similar thoughts? The spooks are powerful and must be removed but their removal leaves your mind in a promordial state that is more susceptible to spooks than before.

I go to the city centre and see people shopping and the streets are busy, which is comforting compared to when they're empty, but walking through then brings no epiphanies.

I am so past watching movies or tv shows, even ones that pander to "edgy" young males. I just about read books but only because society tells me I should, though I don't derive much enjoyment

And obviously I have an existential crisis but /lit/ is fucking pathetic in demanding that anyone who has one should immediately "grow up" and become a monotheist and wagecuck. I fucking hate wagecucking. Seeing attractive young people is humiliating. I tell myself every day that I'll soon work intensely on one thing but I can't bear to do this. If you're really good at one thing then there are people lining up to call you a tard for not watching opera or being able to run a marathon or whatever shit. So I do nothing.

>Economics.
>Applied common sense.

You have a lot to learn my friend. Its anything but that.

Try reading real nigga macro/microeconomic theory rather than supply and demand bullshit and political treatises by hacks.

Idiot. Didn't read the rest.

Reading just made me want to fish, it seems fun and relaxing.

You need to stop taking yourself so seriously, you're the pseudo intellectual one.

>And obviously I have an existential crisis

no you don't. you're just an average millennial who's feeling a bit sad and edgy.

get a fucking grip on yourself. go to the gym, it will make you feel better about yourself. or take a dog for a walk or something.

Then continue doing nothing. Obviously you have backed yourself into a dark existentially lost corner and stripped yourself of any possibility of redeeming actions.

What was even the point of creating this thread, anon? Catharsis on an internet board? Are you not contradicting yourself, then? Obviously you didn't create the thread looking for any meaningful commentary or insight on your situation, as you just neutralized the weight of any response.

Go on, pretend to rid yourself of all your little 'spooks' and live in a black abyss - maybe one day you will realize that the biggest spook of all is trying to tear apart and deconstruct your own humanity.

Material rationalism is a meme. "Unfalsifiable" is a meaningless word.
