Life is the biggest joke ever

[thorns]

Nothing will ever save you from the inevitable pain of self-awareness. If you’ve found yourself here, it’s safe to assume you have at least average IQ and some critical thinking skills—both of which will prevent you from ever living in true happiness. Not even the most important person means anything in the grand scheme of things. Kurt Cobain shot himself because he couldn’t stand being conscious and seeing life for what it really is—nothing. Life is about nothing. You jump from one distraction to the next until time, the ultimate reaper, comes to claim you. It’s a battle you’ve already lost; you’re just waiting for the final bell, even though you already know the outcome.

Sex was fun for a while. Drugs were interesting, but now they’ve lost their edge. You need more and more to distract yourself from the truth.

I tried to live again, only to realize self-improvement and self-destruction are the same. Winning and losing, working hard and resting—they’re all the same. Nothing you do can change how things are. Our brains are wired to seek pleasure and then grow numb to it, like life is designed to be a loop of brief highs followed by stronger and stronger suffering or boredom. The only escape is being dumb enough not to see it. Once you strip away the oversocialization and see life for what it really is, there’s no going back. TRT made me aggressive and happy, but like everything else, it was temporary. Nothing good ever lasts. We’re just drops in the ocean, separating for a moment before we disappear forever into the vastness.

Did you take TRT because you needed it or just as mild roid usage ?

 

[noobs]

happiness acts as a sine wave over time, it’s impossible to be happy or sad

its a joke if your hedonistic

Straight fact. I'm just tired of pretending to care about existing. I never did, not even as a child. I only ever sought pleasure, and everything else was just oversocialization and social conditioning. It’s like being a functional human means having to fight the fact that I don’t care about life at all.

wtf are u yapping? go discover some philosophies

I was, mildly. my doctor said it was unlikely to fix my cronic depression, which is still impossible to find the reason for. we still tried anyways. not even the most deranged indians of this forum like @anthony111553 would say it's because of my appearence, my upbringing was neutral to positive. I live close to nature, always did. hit all the social milestones like friendships, first kiss, sex etc at normal ages, nothing explains why i'm fucked in the head. guess it's time for lobotomy.

 

[(In)CelibatePsycho2]

Yeah life sucks, rn it’s midnight but instead of sleeping I’m standing in the bathroom because I have a nosebleed and I have to wait for it to do down
I have an exam tomorrow too
And it’s hot as hell in the dorm for some reason which makes it difficult to sleep. It’s cold outside idk which retard fucked up and made it so hot

It’s very likely that your brain chemistry got fucked. Seems like it can happen without reason. I’m assuming SSRIs don’t really help ?

If nothing else works, try ECT

i've taken all of this pill shit, hate it all. opioids obviously work because they numb the pain, got hooked to it eventually. then got clean, then hooked again. jfl

lobotomy > ect frfr

@TechnoBoss today I read a discussion you had about the meaninglessness of existence and how life is a scam. It was the most interesting and insightful conversation I've ever seen in this schizoid echo chamber. I can’t find it anymore though—too high. But yeah, it was somewhat comforting to know that someone else gets the point (or acknowledges the lack of it).

1: claiming to be self aware isnt self-awareness. u aint unplugged from the matrix for being a nihilist
2: the grand scheme of things, the grand scheme of what? if u want things to be grander than what they are maybe be a bit grander yourself.
3: aight mr. drama diary queen then just keep partying idc
4-10: life is literally the meaning u give it, not the meaning anyone else gives u because ultimately it has no roots and is all relative, if u live for nothing then ur life has no meaning yeah.
bro talks about partying down and doing nothing and being all sad with no cause or end in mind, then says no meaning, like yeah no shit

People who downplay nihilism are really not any less edgy than nihilists themselves. It's a very honest view of life and some people will have harder time turning their brains off to cope with it.

Consciousness is a mistake

It's simply the prerequisite of your existence

So it has to exist

It's a freak accident

Everything is made up, just a rationalisation

So is any discontent I feel towards it

I just am

[Amnesia]

The only happy time I had in my life was from ages 11-16

no responsibilities
no worry about money or having to work
only 24/7 hanging with friends having as much fun as we could
perfect health
none of ur friends had gay families or kids or obligations
comfy suburbs zero crime


then u grow up and become a wage slave and ur friends move away and disappear and u get to watch ur parents and loved ones grow old get sick suffer and die in front of u while u realize that ur heading in the same direction and inevitably u are GOING TO die and it probably wont be painless


i lived the prime of my life up front and i have nothing but sadness and pain. I still think back often to my childhood and wish i could repeat those years over and over. I can't imagine how awful it is for people who never had a good childhood of a friend circle, u never got to live a real life

The moment you realise life is just about growing old and having a family of about 10 children nothing feels real anymore

Like that is a genuine purpose to provide for the family and have large offspring that is what we wired to do that is what we evolved to do. Self-consciousness was just a side-effect. Sure we can socialise in tribes but that was just for a survival edge in the wilderness.

 

[FoolYoungHi]

Most people here need a long term vision of how you view or change the world and then chase that. Without you'll go for drugs to replicate the high of winning at life. And yes those are temporary as your receptors will downregulate.

Focussing excessively on your looks only will make you depressed too obviously. It's a female lifestyle.

TRT, steroids, etc. are just drugs too (raises dopamine in brain for no reason). That's why majority of bodybuilders are losers in life and they live in the gym and that's their domain. They can't compete with the world.

A woman is supposed to want the children. Not the man. Yes of course a man wants to impregnate. But settling down, no way. That's a woman's domain and want in sexual strategy. Most men here act like the woman in life. Sad but true. Those men are depressed as well and hate their lives living vigariously through people who are not suppressed like that.

A man is meant to conquer, fight, move through life.

Not saying I am much better. Most people lose at life. It's always been that way.

Why should I care about "changing the world"? Even the most relevant person in history, which is probably Jesus, will eventually be forgotten forever.

Winning and losing are the same in the end. The entire concept of giving meaning to life (aka being a winner) is just a refusal to accept its reality. I'm not saying you should destroy yourself; I'm saying it doesn’t matter whether you do or not.

I know I’m being dramatic. I should man up and accept things as they are in silence. The thing is, I’ve been doing that since I was 9. When you try to explain your perspective to relatives or close friends, if they’re good people—which is the case with me—they start blaming themselves and trying to save you. I don’t want to burden the ones who actually care about me with my mourning, so I vent on an obscure online forum instead.

Why do you think people in the past were so happy? They were happily married and didn’t have to deal with the following problems we do:

- the modern women
- gaslighting from normies
- inflation
- being taken advantage of by most people you meet nowadays

I've got almost 0 responsabilities, not a wage slave but a coder. I earn around 8k a month (sometimes less, sometimes more), by barely doing anything. I'm almost 22, and I'm quite successful by societal standards, completely ahead of most people, probably even appearence wise. Still I think about ending myself almost every single day, and what keeps me here is my childhood memories and nostalgia, and my family/loved ones. but mainly the memories I built with them when I was around the age you mentioned.

I’ve been around longer than it seems, and I honestly believe you’re one of the best users to ever register, even though you joined later. A lot of what you’ve said resonates with me, and I think in real-life circumstances, we’d probably be good friends. I think it was in forevergymcelling's thread—no need to dig it up again, it just crossed my mind while I was high this morning, and I wanted to mention it.

Winning and losing are the same in the end. The entire concept of giving meaning to life (aka being a winner) is just a refusal to accept its reality. I'm not saying you should destroy yourself; I'm saying it doesn’t matter whether you do or not.

The scope of "changing the world the way it is" is what people who won at life can do. People with good and dominant genetics. Those people often have a vision for the world. Of course this is high level and most can never attain it.

Winning and losing isn't the same. It's easy to see in life who won and lost. Of course at the end we will be dust.

A lot of people here think looks is the endgame. Just like some gym bro's think everybody cares about a muscular body. It's like people care most about what they are good at (or have potential to be) and project it on the world.

Winning is dominance over others and shaping the world according what you want. I can clearly see most men are dominated by a select few men.

If you don't have a big goal then you'll be depressed and will go use drugs to attain these feelings temporarily. Sports can work too to simulate dominance over others (if you win). That's why you see athletes fall in deep holes after they did pro sports. They get depressed.

No way you will be satisfied focussing on "looksmaxing" and getting surgeries like a female does LOL. Insane. That's such a low level goal. Yes looks are important. But if you have good genes you don't even think about that crap. So people here simulate one little aspect of someone with good genetics.

 

[MikeMew'sBitch]

Nihilism is the only realistic philosophy. You can make it a bit more optimistic with absurdism (basically a happier version of nihilism) but final conclusion is; no matter who you are, how good looking or ugly you are, how rich or poor you are, whether you are an insanely powerful emperor or a nobody, you will eventually die (human life is actually quite short). Nothing you did, no matter how great or insignificant, will matter.

 

[Schizotypalcel]

Thinking that sex will solve anything is what makes this community a permanent joke to most people.

3 types of people that make this community a joke since it should be about "looksmaxxing"

1. Incels that got bored of other forums such as .is (me tbh)

2. Narcy mfs that think they are high IQ but can't get recognized irl for things they say an only idolize themselves to people that are lost such as incels that can't picture a future at all, or just volcel misogynists. There are some high IQ users tho that don't template that and that's how i separate the users.

3. Greys or anyone that just come here for validation without doing anything to further there looks at all. And this is a problem due to people giving up on helping others due to repetitive proof of people just fucking LDAR.

Unfortunately now tho i see barely any good threads at all as class is dying down on the forum an most of what i stated is probably why.

IF people think looksmaxxing is about pussy only then that's the joke.

I barely know anything about lookism. I’ve never experienced life on the other side. I’m solidly above average in looks just by doing basic things like eating less. I’m well-adjusted to society, being part of a small, strong, and religious community. I have no real understanding of the struggles other people face in this regard.

My only handicap is that my brain simply refuses to produce the chemicals needed for me to enjoy existence. That’s all I write about here because it’s been my life for as long as I can remember. I agree with your reasoning about the downfall of PSL.

 

[Schizotypalcel]

unfortunate for us mentalcels, i feel i can take the time to adjust but at the same time i'm challenged with the same thought process.

[dbva]

simply put, its over

ive given up long ago tbh, now im just chilling and awaiting impending doom, ill probably go take out a huge bank loan and explore the world or go ER on some jews and blow my brains out right after

consciousness is probably the worst thing that happened to me tbh, just do whatever you want

 

[nuisance]

@TechnoBoss today I read a discussion you had about the meaninglessness of existence and how life is a scam. It was the most interesting and insightful conversation I've ever seen in this schizoid echo chamber. I can’t find it anymore though—too high. But yeah, it was somewhat comforting to know that someone else gets the point (or acknowledges the lack of it).

if your nihilistic look into absurdism, it helped me escape nihilism along with Christianity.

Although absurdism and Christianity don't go hand in hand they are actually opposites, there are things I took from both.

[noodlelover]

I've been meaning to write up a post on how to achieve happiness, at least most of the time. But my framework is admittedly a work in progress.

But, for the most part you want to abstain from intense highs like Sex, Drugs, and Junkfood because those will desensitize your dopaminergic system.

What you want to do is seek out novelty and challenge. Have long term goals, that you occasionally zoom out to adjust your strategy to achieve, but as much as possible focus on the smaller day to day goals.

Because the more time you spend in zoomed out perspective, of moving towards your bigger goals, the less happy you are because the bigger time to those goals.

So for example, say your long term goal is a girlfriend. Your short term goals are:

1. Loose weight
2. Become Rich
3 Gain Muscles
4. Get Surgeries

You don't want to think about your long term goal of getting a girlfriend any more than you have to, because that creates suffering. A long term goal only exists to give your short term goals, cohesion but happyness is found in solley focusing on the short term goals.

For example, loosing weight. If you loose a couple pounds that's cause for celibration.

Or if you become 2% more productive at work.

It's hyper focus on short term goals that creates the most happiness, flow state, and fullfillment.

I could write more but you get the idea.

Nothing will ever save you from the inevitable pain of self-awareness. If you’ve found yourself here, it’s safe to assume you have at least average IQ and some critical thinking skills—both of which will prevent you from ever living in true happiness. Not even the most important person means anything in the grand scheme of things. Kurt Cobain shot himself because he couldn’t stand being conscious and seeing life for what it really is—nothing. Life is about nothing. You jump from one distraction to the next until time, the ultimate reaper, comes to claim you. It’s a battle you’ve already lost; you’re just waiting for the final bell, even though you already know the outcome.

Sex was fun for a while. Drugs were interesting, but now they’ve lost their edge. You need more and more to distract yourself from the truth.

I tried to live again, only to realize self-improvement and self-destruction are the same. Winning and losing, working hard and resting—they’re all the same. Nothing you do can change how things are. Our brains are wired to seek pleasure and then grow numb to it, like life is designed to be a loop of brief highs followed by stronger and stronger suffering or boredom. The only escape is being dumb enough not to see it. Once you strip away the oversocialization and see life for what it really is, there’s no going back. TRT made me aggressive and happy, but like everything else, it was temporary. Nothing good ever lasts. We’re just drops in the ocean, separating for a moment before we disappear forever into the vastness.

if your nihilistic look into absurdism, it helped me escape nihilism along with Christianity.

Although absurdism and Christianity don't go hand in hand they are actually opposites, there are things I took from both.

that last sentence is dialectical

dialectics is life
