Dear 7chan ,

I finished my second manuscript in record time . It is actually revolutionary , and as such no one is allowed to read it unless I am handsomely rewarded . The leviathan that is threads is safeguarding it . I just happen to have a great trust in this leviathan and as such am not worried , for I doubt even a Mr zuck is capable of accessing my work either actually or figuratively and that coincidence being both factive and meaningful and distinctly and totally and partly so is exactly what my book is about , explains , and proves over and over and over again , kind of like how blind people don’t immediately assign felt gestalts to visual gestalts upon receiving sight , my book will blow not people’s minds into a new sense of gestalting and that’s both a joke and a prediction , which I know with much certainty to be quite possibly factive possibly —- but enough modal jokes and zauberbergian as published in English by those people in turkey references post side : i don’t present to any of you my second philosophy !

Bests ,

The author

It has been two years now since . I am being told my work is downloaded practically-always daily , yet who downloaded i do not know . I can comfortably say i do not artificially inflate the download metrics . And since i have not been contacted in response to my work , I have no idea who my readership is . I do not paywall my work and my work is good , so there are no borrowings or sales . I have not given out physical copies for anything i've written . So the metrics for each work is the metric for that work , except that's not true for MP::WiP , which was removed as its own selfstanding work by someone unknown who wrongly recategorized it as an earlier-version to an entirely different work that I finished way before beginning the writing portion for MP::WiP , which was at 49 downloads but now shows 8 downloads .

I will say i don't particularly enjoy philosophy nor do i have a desire to fervently read and write , but I seem to have no option but to do so . It is not a lofty pursuit for me nor has it been . I do not come from money nor have i been given enough means for a respectable life , which I do actually believe is odd . It seems I simply have not had given to me what has been expected by everyone else to be given to someone by someone else at some time or another . So , I can't really do much else realistically besides be given some offer . My living conditions do not provide adequate quality for any wfh . I also have no real choice but to live in a place far away from businesses or commuter parking meaning also reasonable bus , which goes into a city that doesn't seem to ever want to hire me , but where I also don't apply to work any factory job as I am differently qualified , nor to any nearish-by various corporate outposts because I could not afford to commute daily nor do I have any experience that would make me any more desirable than someone who seems to be able to afford to live near any such place .

Because I am indebted to the federal government for my specific academic education , I can't exactly justify obtaining a different formal education or training more-so than i have already . I have been rejected from a second-bachelor's degree program in a different but kind thus equal different university . I have not the money to take LSATs until i'm a super-splitter . I have also no money for any specific certification to perform some specific work , which leads me to try to firstly make what education I already have be valuable , which I am here doing still .

I know you'll make it one day Jacobkun, just keep reading and writing. There is a market for what you do. You will be rewarded if you keep at it.

For example — although this thread should not be limited to them — I was thinking about the hikikomori. Don't they resemble monks in their seclusion? Is there something to this? Discuss.

Asceticism can be considered a method within hedonism, since it can lead to greater and more refined pleasure.

I mean, "real" is the term we use to distinguish things that exist for everyone from things that only exist in your mind. So, yes, if you think that only "Being" is real, then you really are crazy.

Yes why?
On the side note, did not ask of your political views.

Left yes.

Let us get started now.
People had inherited names.
You would take on your fathers name.
Sometimes people reinvented the same name.
It was never stolen.
Therefore last names were invented yes.
They describe an job or evolvmenthereof such.
In any way, people develop.
Bad traits are also therefore inherited as extra points.

If you're like everyone else, solipsism will be beaten out of you by life. This life guy seems to be pretty skillful at this.
But if you turn out to be special... Things like terminal lucidity show that there's likely no real limit to our ability to ignore reality.
So you can be Neo. Except, there is nowhere to escape to, and the reward for breaking the game is your inability to play it... Well. The pleasure button exists.

Something seems off to me about this.
It's basically saying abuse should be ignored, and that those that engage in accountability-based reasoning or deterrent reasoning are weak.
That doesn't make a lick of sense.
Sounds like the motto of a predator.

This is just a quote from einstein. He surely doesn't mean it. People that take that too to heart create problems in people. Also yes it means you ignore obvious problems in the world to save yourself. It's unethical.

Strong people don't seek forgiveness, for their mind can be moved only by their own will.
Forgiveness is only necessary when you're weak enough to be hurt but know not to torture yourself beyond that.

Sometimes i think humanity is a disgusting concept.

But how do we know what to make of something? Is it beautiful or sickening? It's like going down a rabbit hole, each experience guiding your path, as you go further.

Past experience. The sum of all past experience related to the object.
The foundation of all is that a perfectly inactive mind is perfectly pleasant. And when the mind is pleasant, whatever it perceives is beautiful... Unless your past experience overwrites this.
And upon this foundation, as the mind keeps flowing from delightful inactivity to stressful activity and back, countless things are evaluated based on how the mind feels right now, and temporal preferences are built. Them preferences delude the mind and keep it from returning to the primordial emptiness.

I don't know anything other than that I love his album we must become the pitiless sensors of ourselves. Really nice vibe for certain occasions or driving. If you mean his music as philosophy, it's pretty great in some ways, but ultimately, I prefer something that is balls to the wall insane.

fascism/authoritarianism is foundationally an ethos, so to speak, of the slavish man (in a broad nongender sense, though, the insecurity involved is perhaps unique to literal men) and their mistrust, excessive posturing as strong, and single-minded pursuit of (and slavish devotion to) dominance for its own sake, is all a testament to the fact they are always slaves who (always as a matter of circumstance and complacency) have managed to worm their way into positions of authority-- and always with the same catastrophic outcome for themselves-- and, ultimately, they will always be slaves, blinded by hubris and drowning in pomp and pageantry

Interesting to note, much of the german's plan was to colonize and enslave the slavs, with their inspiration being the accepted mode of operation of western powers a century or two prior. Though, as it turned out, slave labor kinda sucked, as the enslaved weren't particularly productive and tended to sabotage the things they were tasked with making. So, the labor camps became death camps as their war effort went sideways.

Hm, dominance for profits sake is only slightly less atrocious? Force should only be used as a last resort (or obviously extreme/deleterious circumstances) to maintain a reasonable degree of social order? Absolute social order is a) unobtainable and b) demonstrably, attempting to achieve it leads, very much, to the opposite.

Thomas Malthus's theory posits that competitiveness is an inevitable outcome of the struggle for existence. Why some of us seem to be lacking it? Why some people are just too lazy or too depressed to compete for anything? Sometimes we just want to survive on the bare minimal resources, avoiding effort at all costs.

Compete for money, status and power. This ultimately means to compete for more comfort, more security, more pleasure, more self-worthiness in life.
