If life is about pleasure, then why not doomscroll?

[Matrix88]

Why not doomscroll and LDAR forever?? What makes certain pleasures better or worse than others??

 

[hypergonadal]

true but the people making this argument are likely referring to living a life of sustained pleasure, after doomscrolling you don't feel good or fulfilled

but why not? Then u gotta keep distracting yourself

Life is about distractions, isn't it?

It’s seen as bad

ya your right, anecdotally I would feel a lack of pleasure doing this

but you're right there is a fallacy in the argument

 

[BatemanNigga]

Thats exactly what i do

 

[avenox]

true pleasure is sexual pleasure from a hot european/latin american/mestizo foid in her early twenties

 

[ltnfoidraperer]

Life is about distractions, isn't it?

the exact mindset the jews wants you to have

 

[Matrix88]

the exact mindset the jews wants you to have

you think so? What it's life for you bro

I don't really think life is about distracting yourself with slop ofc, but I do believe it's to find fulfilling pleasures and comfort, which comes with money and looks mainly

 

[Matrix88]

Bump

js do what u want bro but there is a difference between this and natural dopamine u feel good after winning a socer game u feel like shit after scrolling and beating ur shit all day

but both things are meaningless, why would one be better than the other objectively?

cuz its not that fun for most people

average emotion experienced watching YouTube or long form content is way higher than scrolling

 

[SkinjobCatastrophe]

Most people, especially women, are taking your advice. Phone scrolling, vaping, drinking, drugs, that's it for 90% of the population. Just a life long goon fest

 

[5.5psl]

It's not about seeking pleasure that's hedonistic which can never be fulfilling its about purpose and goals
I heard some quote from seneca he says iron kept still rusts , still water is dangerous and so is a human with no purpose and constant betterment something around those lines

that is part of LDARing bro, I considered watching movies, series, videos and stuff into when I posted this

I can agree with that, since my purposeless life tends to get me depressed

but I'm not sure if I'd think the same if I were a Chad. I'd probably spend most time slaying and doing hedonistic shit

pleasure of spending time w someone you love is also way stronger

 

[Prøphet]

Maybe some people will be content with simply chasing after the most immediate pleasure for their lifetime

I guess it’s very individual

I think it’s more about purpose and meaning to me

Like if you imagine yourself on your deathbed at 80 years old, I would rather look back at a life that meant something to me than just taking the path of least resistance

I would rather have lived a life where I took the bumpy road to get what I really want

(When I say what I want, I mean something from the higher version of my self, discovered in things like art, introspection, seeing greatness, not just what my body wants aka the lower self)

(Most importantly, I find what I really want and what I really care about the most in the midst of suffering)

Better that than just cruising through a lazy river, but knowing in the back of my head I compromised everything, even compromised myself, betrayed my true self, to satisfy the immediate comfort of the lower self

Someone who is only concerned with pleasure would easily give up their aspiration, their dream, just for masturbatiry nothingness. It’s hard for me to think of any greater betrayal.

That would be true hell for me

I agree with that a lot, when I think of life as something where pleasure is all what matters I end up giving up on things I care about and do meaningless shit instead

I end up fucking my future even more

I suppose first off over the long term and with excessive consumption short term content will fry your dopamine receptors and will desensitize you to most other things in your life.

Also obviously a waste of time and energy, though the above clearly might not mean much to people who wouldn't utilize that time anyway (believing true pleasure comes from doom scrolling)

As @Prøphet states it you could imagine a life fulfilled with inner and outer success compared to a life of LDARing and judge which one you enjoy more. If you haven't experienced the former then it means you will never know what it feels like and live your life of mediocrity without every experiencing the other side. If that is how your life has been you should take it as a sign to change yourself and contrast how you feel between the two.

Thanks, that's a good message

I'm starting to take action, but I like to understand the ROI on doing things in the first place. I'm way too comfortable with living isolated as a NEET with a mediocre life, so to me is easier to not do anything and keep LDARing

 

[User28823]

doomscrolling gets old fast

I mean, how's life been thus far? What kind of activity has been most common to you throughout the years?

Honestly I think the best thing I did to find something beyond short form content was to watch film or go to nature (hiking, fishing, photography)

 

[shngstaaaa107]

Nah I feel like its the opposite where everything else is slower, while the short form content is the only thing that really triggers dopamine for most people quickly

Unless you have more fulfilling things in your life obviously

I've lived the classic shy teenager life who spent all time with his friend group during highschool, and then playing videogames with them all day.

But this year, since I graduated high school, I've been totally isolated and dealing with depression lol

Damn you're heading to college? If u can drive and are in us I recommend you take trips outdoors with friends across states or to scenic locations

I don't know how to drive

I'm also not from the US, but why do u advice to go on trips to scenic locations?

Getting out to see nature, or human architecture, or really anything of the sort is really fulfilling and can sort of snap to you that there is more to life in the world

What continent/country?

 

[Matrix88]

Oh yea, I agree

What continent/country?

I'm from South America, Chile

 

[shngstaaaa107]

Chiles huge man, but I think obviously the mountains are beautiful and the coast is awesome

What part are you from/near ?

 

[EuphoricAsianNormie]

I doomscroll so that I can train my emotional stability.

I'm from Santiago, the capital of the country

 

[shngstaaaa107]

Damn, wtf? You guys have the mountains right next to you

Shit looks beautiful but it ALWAYS looks better in person

Have you been to those mountainous areas?

Just off the look of it the most beautiful place seems to be Cajón del Maipo, Id honestly go there myself someday

yea I've been there, it was nice, but that was long time ago

Maybe I do need to chill out a little while being in nature, I'm way too stressed about my future in general

 

[yushmaxx]

I have never met anyone who doomscrolls 24/7 who is also happy.

That's pretty relatable. lot of pressure for me with school and what I want to tdo as well as school success..

good luck to you with finding inner success or fulfillment as well as admiring beauty beyond the ldar

 

[shngstaaaa107]

They look at life through short form content and see the lives of those who are better but also end up becoming procrastinatincels and never doing anything (Imprisoned by content/dopamine)
