In the same way, a Paradise,

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

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

Women are naturally attracted to men because we're fearless compared to them. The problem is when she gets too many offers so she thinks masculinity is abundant, but gets rekt emotionally by Chad. So she can't admit he never cared. Instead she's left chasing the dragon for the rest of her life. Trying to appeal through sex mostly to the next Chad (that's what got her through the door the first time). Why? Because she can't get the thought that she wasn't good enough out of her head (she's clueless, for all she knows, he was the big man, the man's man). "If he's not toxic, he won't help me prove I'm worthy of Chad". In the process she'll destroy her sweetness and anything of real value that was there. And she's not the one to blame either. She can't help but think that the one who rejected her is on his mission and the greatest man. It's the Chad's fault for being a piece of shit yet convincing the girl he is God.

The reason you can't blame the girl is because to them we all look fearless. She just doesn't know any better. Who's the real man and who's not. They can't tell, because they are nowhere near. Best they can judge is if he appears dominant in the group.

Spoiler: some of them are born already ruined, don't beat yourself up fellas. But you know you have all seen a really cute and sweet and beautiful girl turn into an abomination. All too early. It's not her fault. She doesn't know any better.

And to the still non ruined ones but already on their way, all I can say is that you think you have all the power, but you have none, because you lack the understanding and the judgment to recognize actual masculinity the embodiment of which is adventure spirit and having other people's backs, not some fake fakery bullshit. The embodiment of true femininity is selflessness and support of the man/community. So yeah ik you're awash in resources and attention and whatnot, but it leads nowhere but swamp. You have a strong illusion of power. God bless. But you're lucky if you get as much as attention from a real down to Earth big heart nigga with balls of steel. Oh well. More circus for all of us.

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 point of life is to grow up.
So why are humans so obsessed with childhood? And while being misopediac?

Why does society go at great lengths to patronize the youth for developing any sense of individuality?

Whenever I hear an adult say "I wish I was a kid again", what I see is "I suck at adulting and I hate responsibility".

Most people are plagued by childish desires but instead of reconciliation and growing into true adulthood, they'd rather pout and moan inwardly.

It's no wonder why midlife crisis is blending into quarter-life crisis.
It's no wonder why adolescence is being lengthened.
In fact, adolescence is artificial.

I'm dramatising, but I'm not joking when I think that there's an undercurrent of fear/contempt for maturation.

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.

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.

Yo, I'm a normal retard and I just thought of something I think is cool. I wrote it down. Here it is.

"Humans have free will, and are simultaneously determined. This determination is outside of their perception, which is why they have free will. The proof for why we are determined is in the fact that every reasonable or tangible thing requires a reason to exist. This text file would not exist if I had not typed it. Human beings themselves as well as their physical and mental states and thus decisions would not exist either without reasons.

Despite this determination, the human race in each individual experience is ignorant of it. This is why we have free will. It is not an illusion. It is real to us, and the reason for why it is real is not something we can describe. But just because we can't describe it doesn't make it not real. We know it is real on the basis that we can perceive it. It does not need to be described.

We have the choice to embody a wide selection of dualistic things. Good or evil, truth or falsehood, Half truth or half truth. Any mix of things can be embodied by a human, but all of these things are dualistic, including mixes of things like half truths.

The world is sick.

Humans can either be perfect or imperfect. More precisely, the components of a human being are fundamentally the following. Morality, Health, and Purity. People can be good or evil, unhealthy or healthy, or pure or impure. If someone is good, healthy, and pure, then they are perfect. Most children are this way. If someone is deficient in any one of these categories, they are imperfect.

I caused you as much as you caused me as much as anything cause anything else. Better way to think of it is connection. Everything is connected.

If you aren't proposing that reality is a chain and not a tree, a multi-dimensional one at that, that's one way to look at it, but it's not the most accurate way.

As for the question of free will. We do have free will, we also have many levels. All of those levels have free will. The levels down the line may appear to have less Free Will than the more fundamental levels, but all of those levels are still you, all of these choices are still made by you. The ego level is along for the ride that your soul chose for this life. A theme would be more appropriate to say. Perhaps with some significant connections predetermined, however all of that is free for the ego to decide in terms of how it is going to be experienced. You came here for some reasons, you cannot really change those reasons except add new ones, but what you came here for - you will explore. Unless you kill yourself, but then you'll be like "shucks, I wasn't finished" and probably do the same thing in another form.

What level of meta ironic post-irony is this question OP? Education standards have been going down the shitter. Blaming the kneegrow and wetbacks can only go so far, when little zoomzoom is so fucking retarded. He literally cant write with a pen cant read a book because 70% of the page is not filled with ADs/banners/hyperlinks. Their spelling/grammar/punctuation etc etc is horrific because of autocorrect and only using a smartphone, to add to that they cant even use a fucking keyboard. They type like boomers looking at the keys and only using two fingers.
Thanks to chat-GPT zoomzooms are just as bad as the Chinese and Indians now using for all classwork. As well as figuring out ways to use it during tests&exams.

Degree mills have gotten so outta hand that even real universities no longer care. Post bogus bullshit research papers, submit complete bullshit to your prof and lielielie on your grant application everyone else is doing it sars.
Your core shit is 30 credits to get your degree right, well most those classes now are complete bullshit and fucking jokes. Hell watch them lower it to 10-20 credits 30 is far too much&hard. So all you need to get a degree is fucking 50-80 credits.

I feel pity for the zoomzooms I really do they have been bred&raised to be legit mentally retarded lacking all critical thinking and logic skills completely unable to think not only outside the box but unable to complete basic tasks.
BUT not being able to notice this and break free from NPCdom is just....The ones that do break free pretend they are now the main protagonist or some shit.

In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God.
– John 1:1

The first word you ever learned was probably something like “dada.” Simple, primal, and deeply meaningful. It wasn’t just a sound; it was a recognition of the Allfather, the one who breathed life into you, gave you a name, and set you on the path to becoming. To my father, I owe everything. He conjured me from nothing, and in his image, I aspire to be: happy, content, and overflowing with life—a giver of life, just as he was to me.

This chapter is for him. And for my unborn son, who will carry this legacy forward. In him, there will be life, as there was in me, because I was created in my father’s image. Amen.

What Is Want?
Want cannot exist without choice. To choose, we need two things: a being capable of making decisions and at least two options to choose from. But when did choice first emerge in the universe? Was it when a random molecule, billions of years ago, made an imperfect copy of itself? Probably not. Molecules don’t choose to react; they simply follow the laws of physics, colliding and bonding like inanimate objects in a cosmic dance.

So, when did the first true choice occur? And what, exactly, defines it? Does choice even exist, or is it just an illusion we’ve constructed to make sense of our actions?

Defining Choice
We’re free to define “choice” however we want, mostly because the word itself is so deeply ingrained in our language that its meaning feels intuitive. But if we dig deeper, choice isn’t a physical thing—it’s a logical rule, like a computer program. A computer doesn’t want anything, but it can make decisions based on pre-programmed parameters. So, when did these parameters evolve into something that living beings could take into account?

Anti-natalism is fucking retarded but also has a point. Forget the troubles of this world you're gonna put a child in. Even in a perfect utopia, how can you birth a child without any way of discussing with them about their decision to be born or not and carry the burden of their senses like constant anxiety of death or hunger? Well actually, you can and people do every second according to some internet stats, but how can you justify it other than that creampies feel good?

There is no them. A child is not a real person until the age of 25. They start having real thoughts at the age of 12 and develop from there.

There is no them before they are born.
The child is a product, a creation I make with my upbringing and my sperm before that.

Nothing needs to occur a number of times, because everything is occurring.

Also you yourself talk about the fabric of the universe and yet propose to interpretations of the before mentioned set up. There's only one interpretation which is that everything is connected. If it wasn't, how do you explain the fact that everything is made from the same fabric?

Anyway, I really don't get why you guys are even talking about all of this. Like I understand if you're trying to understand better what you yourself are thinking, but I really don't get the discussion. Like what the fucking point. This board seems to be full of faggots and retards anyway.

If you wanted to talk philosophy, you should have come to psy on 420chan at least a decade ago. On top of that you would have had a laugh. This board on the other hand sounds like a bunch of pretentious 18-year-old seniors. I know my post is low quality, but I'm just saying. WTF are you guys even doing this unless you are new to philosophy and don't know any better than to interact with dimwits like the rest of the folk here because most of these ideas you are just exploring for the first time. Which is fine, no shame in that, but if that's not the case, if you actually have your own opinions about those things, why the fuck would you try to talk with anyone here about it. It will be either someone who already gets it, so why tell them, or it will be someone who's so far away from it that there's no point even trying to tell them about it.

The whole thing is stupid. And the more fundamental you go, the more the language breaks down, you're lucky if your own definitions don't bleed into each other, trying to transcribe this into written language then to supposedly tell someone else. Again the only point I see in it is to clarify your own thoughts by writing them, but that assumes you still need that kind of clarification.
