In the same way, a Paradise,
a perpetual series of lives
with very little suffering, could,
in the reality of our basic animal realm,

However, if the inhabitants

their perpetual Heaven will deteriorate

Because it is possible to be born,
and because there are so many births,
nothingness is unlikely to follow death,
but rather a potentially perpetual series of lives.
Because of this potentially perpetual series of lives,
the peace of blissful nothingness is unlikely
to follow death, but, rather, more life.
If the peace of non-existence does not follow death,
but more life, then we can only be certain to have peace
in life, in a given incarnation.
Although not true in a pure sense without alternative,
there is a sense in which,
within these many incarnations,
each life will only be composed of present moments.
In this sense, if we fail to take peace in the present

Jacobs Ladder
Mathematics
Jacob’s Ladder:
Probability of Human Birth /
Buddhist Proverb of the Turtle
There is a classic Buddhist proverb which says that the likelihood of being incarnated in a human birth is
the same as the likelihood of a Turtle sticking its head out of the water and coming up through a log with
a hole in it. Using our equation and working backwards,
Earth’s Oceans have 333.42 million km squared surface area. If a log with half meter hole is on that
surface the probability of coming up in that section is 1/6,668,400,000,000,000
Human population is over 8 billion, meaning for this estimate to be accurate there would need to be
6.6684^11 non human beings for every human or 5.33472^20 non human beings (either total or on Earth
depending on what the proverb refers to).
Estimates for bacteria alone are around 5x10^30 to 13x10^35. Estimates for the number of species on
Earth are between 8.7^6 and 10^12. If the species which have very few and the ones which have a very

Stoicism is just the pretentious male version of "empathy".

Also, glorification of suffering is shallow.
I notice that people who romanticise suffering often are ignorant of real life people going through problems

They think life is exactly like action adventure movies

>>16441
>the stoics put heavy focus on dedication, honest hard work, mastery of pleasure and pain, moderation, balance, stability, honorable conduct etc. So basically anti hedonism and anti sensationalism which attributes to stoicism not being some kind of self help bullshit but a wake up call for pulling your shit together and mental fortitude which is extremely manly because men are natural sources of strength and stability.

In theory
In reality, this is just being human in general.
Women often have to work long hours and still go home to make dinner for the kids

Also, "anti hedonism" is often used to morally harass/guilt trip men for having any form of recreation.

Dont worry this full thread is still going to be featured as a piece of 21rst century history in Act 3 of #REDACTED# which will be fully released in its final form soon. We will also be including the Atheism spectrum disorder thread. Both are truly the absolute state of modernity.

Blue Pill

You know what is the real blue pill male sexuality? Still believing (early childhood circumstances made it seem like that's the obvious conclusion to make, because of how impactful these experiences... these females - were compared to most or just about anything else you may have likely encountered)... still believing that a physical human woman is your connection to the mysterious feminine. Not just your connection to it, but the extent to which it goes. Both of those are highly erroneous assumptions, ESPECIALLY the latter. But it makes for a very special kind of relation towards the sexual romantic interest.. extremely pure. extremely naive, but extremely pure. And the illusion could be maintained for a while. If the girl at least was someone like Zero Two. But of course she isn't gonna be.
Nor should she be. No heart worth it's salt should be submissive to that extent towards anyone. And they are hearts, just like we - even if on average 10x more boring, 10x less true (to their own core(zon)).

It's fine to play the game of "I'll propagate the electric field while you propagate the magnetic field" for a while with someone, but ultimately the only reason we interact with anyone - is because they resonate, their core resonates with ours. The only love is the love of and for - a brother. In my country we even have a saying: "Tikra meilė tik tarp vyrų"...

We sometimes have the illusion that just because a totem is speaking of heights we only encounter in our dreams - there must be then inside the one possessing or wielding that totem - an equal amount of something of the same substance that the totem itself represents. But this isn't necessarily the case (universally NOT the case on this planet). It's not something given out freely or without an actual hero's journey to everyone... A toddler isn't born with what makes a man a monument, an inspiration.
She's only wearing it, for right now, your INSANE dedication and desire to sell your soul is to what the totem represents, not the being who was given the totem to wear and even probably then convinced themselves it was afforded to them out of their own merit... "Oh yeah, I affect men this way because **I** am this awesome - obviously"...

And then folks wonder why niggers like them underage in this cracked and broken down fucking society lol

The problem is, men have no self value. They throw it away for women too much.
Are you familiar with LeftyPol? Those guys are auto-misandrists or borderline misogynists, all because they think their pyshcosedual hangup about relationships is true.

The real problem is that people think age numbers are automatically incremental virtue points.

We have more failed adults than mature stable ones.
Yet, people will believe that brain development is what makes one mature rather than any actual training

This is because modern society is consumer centric and the modern philosophy of individualism exists to justify our economy based off mass rpdpuction and consumerism. The idea of idnvidiuality and finding yourself is mostly linked to finding what you like to consume, developing a personal brand, etc.

Modern adults are somewhat infantilized. There is no expectation of responsibility, but IMO what many miss is that responsibility is what makes you feel satisfied in adulthood.

So basically because of our economic structure, people are incentivized to stay in a perpetual adolescence.


If you want a clearer explanation im basing my opinion off of century of the self by Adam Curtis and liquid modernity by Zygmunt Bauman.

>adolescence is artificial
This is completely accurate, your instincts are right. Adolescence was invented in the 20th century to keep kids in school longer.
https://archive.org/details/TheParadoxOfExtendedChildhood-JohnTaylorGatto


Our modern society is literally structured around large corporations supported by swathes of borderline slave workers.

IMO without this education system we would follow our is tints more and learn the actual necessary skills of survival in the school of life. We wou have decentralized support networks where as we are currently at the opposite extreme of atomized individuals reliant on corporations for employment or government financial support. Humans naturally learn what is necessary to survive and naturally have creativity and ingenuity, but these kinds of independent people are not good consumers nor are they obedient workers.

We are all captive to this system and thus more or less children to the state, our new Mom.

There have been a lot of works that talk about it, but it's not talked about a lot.
People would rather talk about "muh woke" or "muh red pill".
Also:
>There is no expectation of responsibility, but IMO what many miss is that responsibility is what makes you feel satisfied in adulthood.

Wrong. Responsibility is expected.
But, the definition of responsibility is almost always reduced to procreation.

People think that child-rearing is the only form of responsibility. And they cannot even do that properly.

Adolescence was created in the eighteenth century. But it was universalised by the twentieth century.

I do not personally care if you want to fap to cartoons. But it's obnoxious when people fill up /b/ with lolicon spam. Also the most loud people who are retardedly obsessed with anti-pedo discourse protest too much me thinks, and are more annoying than anyone else. There's a certain kind of retardation found in people who engage in moral panic hysterics like this and related subjects. Age gap discourse is another example that is very much the same. These people should have to watch their children be raped by a gamestop employee

The concept of matter, as employed by the physicalist or materialist, is metaphysically incoherent because it posits as fundamental that which is never directly given: a mind-independent, extended substance existing outside of and prior to experience. But all that is ever given—indeed, all that can ever be given—is experience itself, which is irreducibly qualitative, structured, and intentional: every experience is an experience of something for a subject. To abstract from this experiential field a supposed “substrate” (matter) that exists independently of the very conditions that make its appearance intelligible is to commit the cardinal error of transcendental illusion: treating a postulated ground (the “real” physical world) as more certain than the immediate, lived reality of experience. The subject-object dichotomy is not optional or derivative—it is constitutive of experience as such. Objects do not exist “out there” in themselves; they exist as objects for a subject, within the horizon of a lived field of consciousness. The materialist attempts to describe a world with the subject abstracted away, but this abstraction is performed by a subject within experience. There is no neutral, subjectless “view from nowhere” by which the independent existence of matter could be affirmed. Moreover, there is—and could be—no empirical or rational proof of a mind-independent world, because such a proof would itself have to be mediated by experience, thus presupposing the very subjective framework it seeks to transcend. Hence, the doctrine of materialism is not only unjustified—it is internally incoherent, since it relies on the reality of experience to argue for a metaphysics that denies experience its foundational role. The only philosophically sound position is to begin with the undeniable fact of experience and its structures—and to recognize that any claim of a reality beyond experience is an unprovable, and ultimately unnecessary, metaphysical posit.

Matter coupled with energy, coupled with word creates reality. If you want to know the true secrets of the universe, it's not enough to do drugs, you have to analyze language together with energy. Linguistics plus physics - to arrive at tangible proof of extraordinary phenomena. Wisdom is not just parables, wisdom is being able to manipulate the physical reality. It is not machiavellianism, it is Platoism and Pythagorism.

One would expect to find some sort of tangible evidence for this cosmic force that moves entire planets but apparently there is none. Ironic.

Smoke a good dose of DMT and you'll see just how little we know

Why is Peter Panagore's story unbelievable? I just woke up with new insight. He says in Heaven he pokes his head out from the field of Heaven and sees our universe and other universes above, below and beyond ours. He describes God as a big ball of light who wants to take him and who oozes pure love. Our souls are ethereal, a kind of ghost without solid form, and we are cast into these material bodies as a type of game or test for our souls.

Peter became an ordained Christian minister so he went to college after he had his near death. I believe it.
