are IRL friends practical as an intellectual?

[Deleted member 48352]

well it depends on the friend. so i should ask: is pursuing IRL friends practical? y or y not?

as a 19 year old, its harder. i dont really go outside, and i got less and less relatable. havent went outside in years.

pros: give u ideas, u can use their energy, they can do tasks for u

cons: more stress, costs time and energy to engage in friendship, potentially they are a threat if u share personal info

JFL at calling yourself an “intellectual” and then asking the question “is having friends valuable?”

We are social creatures. Spending time with other people enriches our lives, even if they aren’t directly giving you something of value. The value you both provide to each other is human connection, shared experiences, shared laughs. Sounds corny but it’s 100% true.

id rather be buffeted slightly by antisocial behavior if it gives me more power. fooling around laughing at mundane futility is a waste of energy

your pool of quality irl acquaintances, much less friends, shrinks to almost nothing when you are an actual blackpilled intellectual. that's why you can only find like minded people online when you're blackpilled.

the average person is so retarded it's impossible to even broach the subject of race realism without being completely dismissed outright.

Yes
But you shouldn't try to fit in with low level norms/rituals
Those that are fellow monks are likely to be the ones you share the most in common with, but you can still have fun with laypersons. Just don't expect meaningful conversations
