Yesterday I made a party at my buildings rooftop, it has table and some chairs. I invited my closer friends, all from HS. 13 people max. There were a lot of beers and a lot of laugh. My friends know that I'm kind of fucked, I'm NEET and I have to take pills to function like a normal human being, my soul is broken but I've been able to try to fix to some point since I got on meds and started reading a lot, I mean the classics. Yesterday, every moment was happiness, since it was my house I was able to play whatever music I wanted and my friends just didn't complain (the first album I played was Deserter Songs my Mercury Rev.
I barely remember last nigh, but what I remember is that I felt great, no of those people judge me, they know from a long time. I can be an asshole sometimes (they too), but we were, still, there, having fun, talking about memories, old jokes, rolling cigars.
The internet really is a bad and addictive thing, of course alcohol, weed and all can be addictive too, but at least I was drunk with people that, for whatever reason, where there with me, sharing jokes with, discussing cheap with.
Non of them really care about literature, but there is this girl, that really loves music, and so do I, and seeing her excitment when certein songs or whatever was a really warm moment, I really wanted to hug here in that moment because it made me feel like I'm not 100% alone, at least in some way. I know I was drunk, but that feel was legit, that is the kind of thing that makes everything worth it

fuck off with this bullshit

Any idiology that tries to "fix" something of the world or society is a retard
We need struggle, we need hunger, we need to be as chaotic or more than what it is now, we need wars, we need death, we need depression, we need being lost. If any of that or relateed didn't exist life wouldn't be a thing, the world wouldn´t be a thing, and I love this world, I love the see, I love the grass, I love the mountains, I love the see, I love good people, I love literature, music, paitings, movies. Is all disonance, is the beauty in the terrible, in the ungly, the beauty that is the fire, the extasis, that we are all looking forward.
Fight and never stop fighting, if not, just commit suicide and stop wasting air
The guy in your pic, OP, was a mentally ill retard who killed innocent people, he is shit, he is nothing, I will keep using computers as long as I want because I have the will to stop when computers fuck with my productivity and mental set. Be everything or be nothing, that guy, in your pic, nothing, void, weakness, that is what he is.

You fucking faggots dont get't
Life can't be learned, you are just IN it (it being life) and life is always moveving, when there is no movement, no + and -, there is just 0.
Philosophy can be learned, math can be learned, literature can be learned, all the STEM suff can be learned, but life can't be learned, you are INSIDE life, the only way you could learn about life would be being outside of life.
People think being in their room posting frogs is being outside of life, thats is life, that is their life, and there is no scape, fight or die, and fighting isnt easy, but for out luck, fighting is something that actually can be learnd, so start there, if you want, everything I'm saying could be probably just a bunch of bullshit?
May I ask, what have you (or belived to) learnd about life?

But Mr Kaczynski, I have a theory regarding online imageboards that I think might win you over. Ivan Illych proposed a sort of on-line forum for the organization of discussions between mutually interested parties on any subject as a form of learning in the future. That's what /lit/ has become. An awful version of it of course but there are things you can learn here that you simply won't get in a lot of schools. Nobody IRL can find decent discourse on books at all, on /lit/ maybe 1 in 100 threads have substance. That's already beating IRL. The internet can do good in limited forms.

I don't get it... Really, be yourself, why would you be something you're not? Why would you fake being someone else? For how long would you even be able to fake being someone else?

I mean, be yourself, you won't necessarily find friends and a girlfriend (you probably won't) but you would not find fulfilment either by faking being something else.

Being yourself is not advice to find friends, girlfriend, party invitations etc... It's to actually do something, whether it is to read books on subjects YOU personally find interests in (as weird and eccentric the subject is), go innawoods, start riots, pick fights with bums or kill yourself if any of those things seems like the TRUE thing to do.

What you want to escape is stagnation, purgatory mode

Here's what I don't get about his stance on surrogate activities. He defines them as activities that we created because our needs are too easily obtainable, so we need to accomplish arbitrary goals to make ourselves feel satisfied. In his manifesto he implied that hobbies (and art and literature in general) are surrogate activities, and that primitive societies did not need them because of the power process.

But didn't primitive societies engage in surrogate activities? Art has been around for quite a while and doesn't serve a "need" in the strictest sense. Even while struggling to survive many tribes still had time to play music, games, tell stories, and engage in some form of recreation.

His definition of "needs" is also vague. At first he implies strictly biological needs, such as hunting for food. But then he touches upon things like love and sex. In certain cultures sex isn't really seen as a need (Buddhist monks, for example), and you can argue that it is no way comparable to needing to eat to survive. So what exactly does he mean by a "need"? If you're going to argue that love is a "need" then you can just as easily argue that wanting to express how you feel is a "need", which gives justification for art to exist. He even admits that many surrogate activities, in certain contexts, are not "pure" surrogate activities. So is it a surrogate activity or not? Is it good or bad? Seems kinda vague, desu.

see yourself is the real comfort zone. if you need to search "different" experiences in order to find it, you have the problem in first place.
you can be yurself in your comfort zone.

"Using computers" doesn't mean anything, it has no immanent properties. Using computers as tools is one thing, worshipping computers as pseudo-persons - which I assume is what Ted had a problem with - is another.

If you haven't yet tried SSRIs or other types of antidepressants, I highly recommend it. You're clearly suffering from a bad case of depression which could be sort out with the right medication. You need professional help. None of these "bro just think differently" types of comments will make a difference in your life since clinically depressed individuals can't be cured easily. Fortunately the symptoms can be eased with the right help.

It took time for me to find out the right medication and the right dose, but I'm on 30mg of Seronil (Fluoxetine) and the difference is astounding. Seriously go seek help with a psychiatrist or a doctor before you off yourself. It could really mean the difference between an enjoyable existence or a horrible one.

From what I understood, a surrogate activity is any activity which doesn't relate to the individual's survival. Example: an electrical engineer reading a magazine about robotics is not engaged in a surrogate activity, but a nurse reading the same magazine is.

His concept of surrogate activities seems to overlap with Veblen's conspicuous leisure (individuals of higher social strata than the manufacturers learn new skills and develop activities to justify how they waste their time, instead of engaging in manufacturing. This leads to consumerism, as the wealthy spend their money on baubles with no added functionality just to differentiate them from the plebs who can't afford such things, which in turn entices the poor to consume more and more retarded items to "keep up with the Jonesses"). Check this book out.

Overall, I think that Kaczynski pokes the correct wounds, but eliminating technology will be futile, as humans will develop again. Linkola seems a bit more reasonable (Brotherhood of Steel FTW), but it might lead to even worse environmental issues, as the means of production are held by an elite with limitless power. Homo homini lupus.

I'm starting to believe that AI takeover is the solution.

In most cases nothing. But withdrawal symptoms are still common. There's a large variety of symptoms when quitting SSRIs, but it usually doesn't cause any of them if the meds are not quit cold turkey and decreased gradually. After quitting the meds completely and the withdrawal symptoms are gone you probably will return to your depressed state or in some cases the depression doesn't relapse.

It's your choice. Would you rather have "artificial happiness" or live a miserable life and end up killing yourself. One of the symptoms of depression is anhedonia. It's the inability to feel pleasure and joy. You could view depression as a disability of the mind. If you haven't had any pleasure in your whole life then there's a chance that your anhedonia might never get fixed.

If you choose not to try meds it's fine. There's a possibility that your depression might sort itself out, or by you going to a psychologist etc. But the thing with psychiatry and antidepressants is that it makes the prognosis more likely to be positive.

anti-depressants are fucking shit, I was depressed for like 8 months (I mean waking up spending hours looking at the wall, thinking about suicide, thinking about how much of a let down I was to my parents, thinking about my sister's problems, and feeling extreme pain in the chest area, it felt like bleeding out. I wasn't to "connec" with people, even with my mom, she telling me she loved me felt like nothing, there were no bonds with this world, my brain was all foggy all the time, and crying, lots of crying, losing my mind at nigh, I hear voices 2 times)
One day I tried Zoloft, 100mg, pannick attack and then manic for the rest of the day. Tried the same dose the day after, it made me feel even worse.
I tried going to a psychologist, it was a fucking scam, then I went to a psychriatist reccomended by a friend of my dad, this friend reads a lot and is a poet, he was born really porn and he was the only one who understood what it was going on, he reccomend me psychiatrist. The psy is a german, very tall dude, I told him everything, it turn out I'm bipolar, my brain is damaged, or maybe is just genetics, I've always been weird, but these 8 months it went out of control. Lamotrigine didnt make me happy, didnt change my personality, it made me being able to get up in the morning, it made me able to take a shower, to talk with friends without going into a void of despair inside my brain, it made me be in control of my mind and not the other way around.
Just give it a try.
Sorry for my bad english.

Why does this need explaining?

>>9193979
I'm middle class, I live in an appartment with my parents who work all day and have worked everyday to substain me and my 2 sisters.
The last 3 years they have started earning more money, but they are old and it will not last much.
I didnt spend more that a couple of bucks in beer yesterday, we divided the money with my friends, they are all middle/middle low class.
Having a rooftop (or however is called), yeah, is a privilege, but a lot of people live in departments and they can use them too.
Real rich normies are at the club listening to trap.

>>9194667
I'm still happy for you lad, but having a rooftop party with 13 of your best friends, having a good time and then telling other people to just start lifting weights and be happy is a bit silly.

>>9194073
There is not point on obssesing about stuff out of your control, do the best you can't and don't be resentful, it will only make things worse for you.
Look at me, I grew up with a lot of """privilege"""" and opportunities, but it happens that my brain doesnt work and I just started treating it at 19, every other normal person with a similar background than me has 19 years of experiences over me. But I just can't give up, there is a lot of people with a higher IQ than me, more qt than me, with better personalities than me, with better brains than me, but, ok, cool for them, but I'm not going to compare myself with them, I can only compare myself with myself. I have nothing to loss, is either trying and stop complaining, or suicide, thats how I see it, and in my opinion being dead is boring, so fuck that, I will stay in here even if that means endless suffering, rejection, guilt, etc
I refuse to be a coward, there is enough of them already, want to be a good friend to my friends, a god son to my parents, a good brother to my sisters, a good poster on /lit/
I will probably fail, but I dont care, is better than not trying, slightly better, but better anyways, 8 months of NEETdom is enough

>>9194627
>even with my mom, she telling me she loved me felt like nothing, there were no bonds with this world
I know this feeling so damn much. Whenever a family member compliments me I blow them off so hard. For me they are just lying to me make feel better.
>my brain was all foggy
This happens to me a lot too. I have moments where I struggle to put together basic strings of thought.

I'm just trying to share what it worked for me, I see a lot of people being miserable here, lots of males. I relate, and is pretty sad. I wish I had the talent to put this intention in better words.
It sounds silly because it is silly, maybe I'm silly. Of course Schopenhauer sounds a lot less silly and makes really valid points, but it can make people miserable, I'm just trying to compensate a little since this place is so full of depressed people.
I dont know why am I even doing this, I dont know any of you guys, lol. Thanks for reading I guess.

There has been proven that money and circumstance does have an aspect of diminishing returns when it comes to happiness.

I mean, I work less in terms of hours, but use that time to potter around in my garden with my veggies which, being homegrown are far more filling and nutritious than from a shop, meaning I can have a veggie broth that is about 4 dinners and costs nothing.

One thing that I've started doing is paying for things in 'hours worked' rather than money. A washing machine and dryer could cost something like 70 hours of work, but I'd much rather not work those 70 hours and wash by hand or pay a few quit and the local laundrette.

>>9194839
that's not really stoicism so much as it is the dudebro bastardization of stoicism because and i am saying this unironically they did not start with the fuckin greeks.

stoicism's popularity has a lot less to do with introspection or whatever and a lot more to do with the neckbeard fascination with characters like ron swanson where instead of realizing that the archetype is being mocked they just sorta... agree with it?

so anyways that's not what stoicism is and the fact that that's the common public perception is mostly because nerds are fucking terrible

>>9194839
having a wife or working for a living or caring for offspring is the 'cuck and proud' philosophy.

I remember the study as well, I'm sure I saw it somewhere. I think the conclusion was something along the lines of: when the immediate needs are met (food, water, shelter, security) then you shift to find other problems.

I think this is what it behind First World Problems, and why they cause so much mental illness. By their nature they have no actionable solution, because even though starving is terrible you know that to alleviate it you need to eat. How do you explain to your lizard brain that you need to work extra to afford run the car you use to get to work in the first place?

>>9195001
>then you shift to find other problems
I wonder why this happens, maybe, our brains want us to find some kind of truth only visible after "immediate needs are met", but our brains fail to realize they are not that cool like to find absolute truths or something like that
desu just start taking lamotrigine before your brain starts going overclock and bonkers

No.
>Need it to write
>Enjoy watching vids on Youtube
>Enjoy keeping track of my book sales (however few it may be)
>Enjoy /lit/ and /k/
>Enjoy watching movies and listening to music when drunk
>Enjoy occasionally gaming though doing so less and less lately
>Enjoy chatting with friends and coming up with ideas for writing

I don't want to remove so much enjoyment from my life, nor do I want to be denied my one real method of writing. Doing so with pen and paper would for one thing be very uncomfortable given how much I write, it would be slower since I can type 60-80 words per minute, and my handwriting SUCKS so it would also be incredibly difficult to read!

>No.

You can't learn a procedure for doing life correctly but you can learn enough about how life actually works to build up a desire to off yourself.

Think about it: In the first place, you can't really be sure of the fundamental "realness" of anything or ever really figure out if anything is actually happening. This is a little bit true of your visceral senses but it's especially true of what you read or infer from other hearsay. People could be lying to you from omission at any time and you would never have the means to actually figure it out.

Then, you have the fact that even if there was such a thing as value, that it generally comes in different type that conflict with each other, making life an unending series of dilemmas. And just because the dilemmas are subjective to you doesn't mean they aren't real.

The most fundamental dilemma is that, as far as what I know and what most other people think has been figured out, is that the existence of your entire consciousness is itself dependent upon acquiring resources to keep your body metabolized, and you are in this shell called a "body" that has to exert energy to somehow get food, whether it's be self-subsistent (rare nowadays) or being useful to somebody else and having a job to get money to get food.

You are also hopelessly dependent upon the rest of humanity and the rest of your environment in order to keep this metabolism going. The feeding of as many people are being fed is dependent upon mass industrial farming, and if it all went away SOMEBODY would be dying and it would probably include you. So you have to participate in society to a certain extent even if you think it's super lame. That or grow your own food and risk starving if one disease gets into your crop harvest.

You'll learn that one day it will all be over, and the worst part is that some groups are telling you that you will be tortured forever AFTER you die, and if you pick the wrong one of these groups you'll still be tortured forever or be subjected to some terror that is so ridiculously awful that you would do anything to avoid it. It's only probably false, so you have that possibility to think about too.

Life is ridiculously bad and I hope I don't have to live it again.

>>9190118
if anything, kaczynski struggled in his life far more than you ever will. you have a paltry understanding of your own philosophy
