Why do so many normies look down upon the NEET life? Every

>>34769579
Because we're useless
It's fairly, if not 100% selfish.

because you're not contributing to society, only detracting from it.
if everyone was neet then we'd be a third world shithole.
somebody has to work to feed your ass, what if that person decided they want to be neet too?

I am not responsible for making sense of the gobbledygook you type.

Because normies love hating on lazy people who live life to the best of their ability, people who aren't constantly shackled by the expectations of strangers and can do what they want whenever they want.

Normies tell them they're worthless and shameless, hell, maybe they're right, but normies only say these things to make themselves appear better so their opinion can be discarded.

i have just one question, do you think your life is fullfilled?

i'll leave it there, for both wagecucks and neets.

My mom told me they're just jealous, I'm inclined to believe her.
>>34769768
I'm comfy a lot; that's mostly what I ask for, mostly.

Because I don't understand how sitting at home can make for a fulfilling life, let alone a life without numbing depression.

Every time I've had more than a month of nothing to do, I've been more miserable than at I've been at the crappiest moment of working/studying. That's why I'm doing the best I can now, so I have a shot at a job I somewhat enjoy and thus a fulfilling life.

To be a warrior is not about having a fit body. The warrior has a clear mind.

Why would you then look down on those of us who have the ability to self-direct and find meaning and happiness without a supervisor telling us how to file our TPS reports?

It takes no courage to do nothing

It would be one thing if you simply abandoned society and did some Varg Vikernes-tier stuff, that takes courage and strong will, and some amount of Darwinian viability

But you're just a common non-self-sustained sad sack filling themselves with fat and sugar in their one-bedroom apartment

I'd rather be fulfilled by my own standard rather than by some precedent set by a society which, for the most part, doesn't value the same things I do.

But yes, I feel fulfilled in the current moment.

>former wagecuck

>>34769857
I'm not saying you can't do it, I'm saying that I don't understand it. I don't know you, so I don't care beyond a curious interest.

>>34769864
It's hard to have self-direction when there's no direction to go in. I make choices, I set goals, and I try to accomplish those goals. I'm a student, so I'm trying to use this time to open up as many possibilities as possible so I hopefully don't have to sit in a cubicle crunching paperwork I don't remotely care about. But even if I do end up there, I'd still prefer it to sitting at home depressed. I'd argue that's self-direction.

It offends their sense of value as they see the NEET life as an attack on the narrow and dogmatic worldview ingrained into them since early childhood. The system has led them to believe that one has to work and "contribute to society" (the wagecuck's favorite mantra) to live a dignified, worthwhile life, when in reality the very vast majority of people, excluding, perhaps, a few professions necessary to society (doctors, nurses, teachers, etc), are subjugating themselves to meaningless bureacracy and enslaving themselves to the government and the economy. They derive their sense of purpose and belonging from labor, believing that a life in which so much time is wasted on menial office work or what have you, is not only a life worth living, but the only valid way to live.

>>34769931

You're genuinely trying to argue that being assigned to crunching paperwork is self-direction, simply because you can't find something useful and positive to do outside of work?

Honestly, I thought you'd put up some sort of defence.

>>34769901
It takes courage to reject the yoke of wageslavery in favor of a life lived on your own terms.

>>34769903
>a person engaged in some struggle

The NEETs struggle daily with the great questions of philosophy and science, always pushing the limits of what is possible.

>>34769970

>The NEETs struggle daily with the great questions of philosophy and science

Name one.

>>34769970
I could maybe see philosophy, but science? Really? how on earth is anybody pushing the limits of science from their bedroom

>>34770013
"Is it better to suffer, and have suffered, or never suffering?"

>>34770019
Well you see, the NEET is something of a genius, he sees the broad picture and so by relying on the knowledge gathered by many hard-working scientists, he develops an understanding of the universe the exceeds that of any academic researcher.

>>34769965
I guess it sounds strange. Maybe it's because I've been a lazy teenager without hobbies for the last few years, but the point I'm trying to make is this: I'm pursuing my interests in my studies. By doing well at university, I'm hoping to eventually be able to get a good, interesting job in that field. I have high ambitions, and I want to be as close to that end goal as possible in 30 years. It's very likely that I will not reach that goal, but the idea of pursuing a career in this field fills me with genuine passion. The chance that I will be a total failure is always there, but right now it seems to be worth the risk, because I believe in my capabilities. Of course I have other interests, but they can only hold my attention for so long. I guess I'm like my dad, who has been restless every time he's had 1 or 2 months of unemployment. That's not because he has no hobbies, but because he genuinely enjoys what he does.

Maybe you won't understand this, as I can't understand you, but that's about as clear as I can make it.

I think it's a misplaced disdain for those who remove value from society, and that's the agenda the media pushes too, especially in Britain. Benefit recipients who account for a very small amount of money lost are demonised while large corporations who pay next to no income tax on their billions in revenue are mostly ignored.

>>34770053
It's better to suffer and have suffered, obviously. That's how you learn real life lessons. That's where you find out who you are and what you're made of.

Honestly sounds like a meme philosophy quote you'd find on tumblr. I could understand the NEET life if you actually devote your time to reading philosophy, or some other field of interest. But I just find it hard to believe that you guys are some great group of scholars who have seperated themselves from the bonds of society when all you do is defend your lifestyle on the most miserable board on 4chan.

Humans have many intrinsic desires, but no matter how much you satiate them, they always return.

>>34770149
Reading is something to be done when you are stuck and cannot progress on your own anymore. The NEET has no need for such help, as he is in a constant state of meditation. His thoughts flow freely and let him dicover truths forever inaccessible to the wagies limited mind

>>34770123

The answer is 9.

PEMDAS

>>34770053
>he develops an understanding of the universe the exceeds that of any academic researcher.

Delusional.

>>34770183
So we shouldn't eat, because we'll just be hungry again in a few hours? You're describing exactly what's so amazing about personal growth: it never ends. You'll grow and develop in one area, but you won't suddenly be a complete ubermensch.

The great thing, at least for me, is that I can change and improve in whatever area I wish through hard work, both in and outside of the workplace, until I die.

>>34770226
If it was possible to never grow hungry again, wouldn't that be great?

>>34770197
The professional researcher is limited by the will of whoever finances his research, he just produces research in return for more grants. With all the stress over financing himself and his research team his mind becomes cluttered, and he cannot see the bigger picture anymore

The NEETs mind is serene and open, he can conceive of the greatest of theories with ease and outperforms any professional researcher without trouble

>>34770127
Personal growth, enlightenment, introspection, inspiration. Self fulfillment. Self validation.

I know you people are just spouting memes, but let me humour you for a moment. You talk of this great transcendence over the human condition, but what do you actually DO all day? You just sit here talking bullshit, probably watching anime, eating cheetos and playing videogames before crying yourself to sleep at 5am. What will you do in this life, despite telling yourself you've made the right decision?

>>34770236
It would be great if I could just sit here and be content, but I can't. I want to do things, to grow and achieve my goals. So that is what I do.

>>34770268
>but what do you actually DO all day?

The great thing about being a NEET is that you decide for yourself.

>but I can't.

You can't. Does not mean that it cannot be done.

>>34770266
How is self fulfillment, self validation, introspection, and personal growth a platitude and not a way of building the proper characteristics of an independent human?

>>34769664
tippity-toppity fuckitty kekkington, fambuka

It's great that you can decide whatever you do, that seems to be the major advantage. But I ask you again, WHAT do you do?

>>34770266
In your opinion they are platitudes. In the opinion of most they are not. Your perspective is no greater than theirs.

The philosophers of old would often go live in caves or apart from the clutter of human society for years in order to cleanse their minds and reach a deeper level of understanding. The NEETs solitude enables him to think about one thing for days at a time, perfecting each idea and reaching the truth behind every concept

His deep understanding is all the comfort he needs, as he is euphoric in those moments of extraordinary clarity forever denied to the wageslaves inferior mind

>I do nothing, I do nothing and it's everything I ever imagined it could be.

>>34770308
It is very relevant, because I want to confirm that you do anything that can be remotely seen as indicative of a happy, fulfilling life. If you say to me now "I watch anime and play video games all day and that makes me happy" I will be fine with that. But the fact that you evade this part of the question tells me that you do nothing that promotes personal fulfillment in any way, despite you having all the time in the world to do whatever you want within your financial limits.

>>34770316
Yes, and those philosophers would then come up with great texts about the human condition, rather than partaking in shitty discussions on image boards. What have you written lately? What grand new insight has come to you, you fucking memelord?

I think neets have a very comfortable lifestyle, until they're required to actually defend it irl. They'd say the usual excuses of job shortage, or still looking, because socially "neet " is not used
"Loser" is used
That's not even speaking to its sustainability: whether it be neetbux or good not points, it's going to all crash down someday

It is irrelevant what I do, because I am not the entirety of NEETs. When I 'evade' this question it is simply to uphold the rigorous intellectual standards I pride myself on.

>>34770360
>What

What I said. Your characteristics are too vague, they are essentially meaningless.

>Would you mind listing the characteristics you consider integral for being an independent human?

Independent from what, I would have to ask.

>>34770349
The NEET does not feel any need to put down his insights into writing. The fruits of his ascended mind are not to be shared with the likes of the wageslaves who could not fully comprehend them anyways. The NEET feels comfortable being selfish in his pursuit of truth, as he has let go oh the need for validation or posturing in front of normals and wagies

>>34770393
I'd argue they are vague because they hold a different specific meaning to every human, but the general needs of achieving these characteristics are there in everyone.

>>34770316
If you had reached the deep understanding you preach to have, then you would have realised that the only thing separating you from "wageslaves" is your perspective, and that all perspectives are equal. If that was the case I doubt you'd be referring to them as inferior. Basically all you're doing right now is masturbating your ego.

>>34770393
Independent of your parental units, of your caregivers. Able to survive on your own in life. These aren't vague terms, you're being obtuse.

Making the best out of the time you have is subjective. Some want to strive for more and create, while others are perfectly content with living in the moment and just waiting. Neither approach is intrinsically the correct way to approach life.

>>34770644
Waiting it out is neither constructive or destructive. It's barely an existence.

Incorrect. All money belongs to the state. If it was your money, you could choose to withhold it, or as you put it, attach strings. As it is however not your money, your say is irrelevant.

>Nah man, I leave Amazon and eBay ratings, I also rate neets. You're like a 3/10.

You could rate stuff without being a wageslave. As I said, the two things are not connected.

>>34770722
I read too far into your comment, but I'm not being defensive I'm just saying your comments are subjective. I like to travel and experience new things so that's what I do, but if someone else is just as happy while just sitting in the same chair everyday, watching the same TV shows everyday, and not really doing anything productive with their life then I don't really see a problem with that. It's their existence and they can choose to do with it as they please.

Nevertheless, Why should I make an effort to find a job and contribute to society, when this society supports putrescence and degeneracy? We don't have anything like Trump to rally behind and will be years before someone appears offering hope. If taxpayers have to contribute billions towards rapefugees, liberal agenda, transgender medicine and operations, years of sustainment to criminals, useless university careers, etc. then... Why is it so bad I leech off? I think myself as a stimulus package: I only buy stuff that is sold within Germany or by German retailers; I don't buy stuff that don't need (except 1-dollar humble bundles, no more than 10 euros spent monthly in treats and/or entertainment) and I'm orderly, clean, tidy, quiet, and law-abiding.
