Well I said I was done posting threads, and I am. But here we go again.

I posted a thread about a year ago reflecting on my first year, so why not post a second one? It seemed to help me learn the first time.

In the blink of an eye, I'm halfway to graduating from a well-known state school, majoring in Computer Science, Data Science, and Economics. Needless to say, I'm a bit nerdy and autistic. But that doesn't stop me from trying to be neurotypical.

Things I learned this year:

1) Looks ARE confidence.
"Thanks captain obvious, we all knew that." I knew it too, but only FACTUALLY. As in, I knew it as a piece of information. This year I EXPERIENCED IT. Those are two completely different things. I can't even count the number of times I was approached by men and women complimenting me on my appearance. If I had to guess, it was over 100. From "you look sick dude" to "hey, you're the big guy at the gym" (men), and "you're cute," "you're the hot guy in (redacted--fraternity name) (women)."
Those comments actually bugged me a bit, because they reinforced the harsh truths I learned from the blackpill. Looks really are king for female attention and male respect. You simply cannot live a fulfilling life without them, in my opinion. My confidence is finally REAL confidence, and not self-talk confidence. And there is an astounding difference between the two.

2) Looks do not lead to career success.
They do help with networking though, which can sometimes lead to it. Hard work and genetic intelligence matter the most. You may be limited genetically to some degree, but most people are capable of good career success if they work hard.

3) Networking is SUPER important.
Knowing people who do all types of work is so important. If I didn't network the way I have been the past two years, my GPA would not be 3.7 and I wouldn't nearly have as many opportunities as I do now. Talking to people and working on basic social skills to facilitate interesting conversations is critical to success.

4) The world is really damn unfair.
It just is. Some people are born with genetic privileges and others with genetic burdens. And so, I made it my mission to help others whenever presented the opportunity. Little acts of kindness and compassion go much farther than you might think.

5) Men and women just cannot be friends.
Sex will always loom over the mind of both people, in some way or another.

6) Close male friendships bring more happiness than female attention and validation.
I have a few close buddies in CS, and we struggle through the hard classes together. The bond we have is super close and I wouldn't know what to do without them. I get far more fulfillment hanging out with them than being around/having sex with women.

7) Number 6 is the case for me because love is not real.
Human love is a neurochemical response in the brain and is not real. It is only a feeling. I know some of you will think this is controversial and may disagree, but this is what I believe based on scientific literature and my experiences. I believe the only real love is God/the creator's love. All other love (animal, human, etc) is simply evolution's way of incentivizing safety and reproduction.

And finally, the most important thing:

8) Until you love yourself and others, you will never have a happy life.
(Yes I know this contradicts number 7, but I am implicitly suggesting the definition of self-love is different than the feeling of love).
I didn't realize how much I hated myself until these last few months. I REALLY fucking hate myself. I constantly shit-talk myself for any little perceived flaw. This is a mindset that will ALWAYS lead to failure. Learn how to talk constructively to yourself and others. And it must be genuine love.

I'm looking at you God, please let me grow to six feet tall.

That is all.

LOL tell that to women who don't seem to find 80%+ of men sexually attractive. And before you say "but most men end up in relationships!", LTRs for women were never centered around sexuality. Women simply don't look at them as these super sexually intimate, lustful pursuits. The exception is a relationship with a young woman as a good looking male (who can get short term sex anyway). MOST marriages are sexless if you want to consider them sexually intimate.


One party WILL have sexual thoughts harbored at the back of their minds and it's MEN because men would stick their dicks in an ant colony.

I agree. Although sometimes if its Chad, women can be “friends” with a man, but are actually wanting to hook up with him. Both genders do it, but yes-men much more frequently

i would argue that if looks do not guarantee career success they can serve useful in landing a common job, such as steward or receptionist or even a more simpler cashier, but in high class shops or hotels, which usually pay better AND in the eyes of foids is still seen as status

For me, yes. I am a person who is good at dealing with uncomfortable truths, and so I discovered the blackpill and mined its information. But it wasn't until I lived the difference with looks privilege that I became angry at God. Why are some people born to live a life devoid of compassion, while others are born naturally good-looking and are pampered their entire life? This thought has really bothered me for some time now, and continues too. I believe I have found an reason as to why this is the case (philosophically), but I am still questioning.

I think I have just finished my bitterness phase. It lasted about 6 months. Now, I am just numb.

Making friends with people and helping them whenever presented the opportunity. Joining a fraternity. Joining clubs. I’ve meet guys in class, at the gym, at restaurants, you name it. You’ll find people that have taken classes you still have to take with the materials/homeworks for them and they took it, so they know how to succeed. Also networking has helped me with internships and jobs, I was mentored by upperclassmen on how to efficiently find them and have referrals from some older guys.

It would definitely be different, yeah. But honestly I have two ex-military friends in my year for CS and I didn’t even know they were both 25. You can do it, but the social dymanics might be a bit awkward as you’re around immature 18 year olds.

What it "real love" to you? Aren't feelings real? We do not only experience them, which in itself points to their existence, but they can even be observed and described on a physical level. If that isn't real, then what is?

Real love to me is not a feeling. It is not a neurochemical response in the body that induces brain activity. Rather, love is a being. I did not mean to deny the feeling of love and other emotions humans experience. Rather, I meant to convey that I do not think humans are capable of the same purity of love that God is, and they never will be. We will always be subject to chemical responses in the body that hinder the purity of the being of love.

What exactly do you mean when you say its a "being"? That it is a way of being? Or do you subscribe to the notion that God is love, or something like that?

Real love to me is not a feeling. It is not a neurochemical response in the body that induces brain activity.
Do you believe that real love isn't felt and experienced? I can appreciate the differentiation between feeling versus expressing loving towards someone. Merely "feeling love" might be a superficial kind of love. But it seems very implausible to me that a pure act of love wouldn't genuinely felt by the one acting it out.

This is why I think genuine love isn't impossible for humans. We are just really shitty at embodying it.

Also, why does it matter that love in humans may be expressed neurochemically? Again, if one only feels love but never acts on it, I agree that might not be genuine love. But as long as both components for love is being acted out, I don't see why the chemistry matters.

By the way, what are your metaphysics? You don't seem to be a naturalist since you believe in God.

The latter. God is love, light, and everything created in the visible and invisible (dark matter) universe. I believe humans were given a veil from that reality in our existence and we forget our true origin. Love isn't a feeling, it is a state of being that in our existence can be simulated with the chemicals in our body, but true love is an embodiment and a state of being rather than a release of oxytocin and norepinephrine.

Merely "feeling love" might be a superficial kind of love. But it seems very implausible to me that a pure act of love wouldn't genuinely felt by the one acting it out.
Real love can be felt, but not in the way we feel chemical love. It is a vibration. A "pure" act of love may or may not be felt by the entity doing it, depending on their intentions and understanding of what they are doing. I am trying to differentiate our cultural definition of "love" which is commonly tied to lust/neurochemicals and our close families. I do not subscribe to that definition. Rather, I believe true love to be a spiritual phenomenon that humans are not capable of fully grasping due to the limitations imposed when birthed into a physical/chemical body.
This is why I think genuine love isn't impossible for humans. We are just really shitty at embodying it.
Yes, maybe this is closer to the truth. Individuals such as Jesus got very close or possibly succeeded at embodying love, but most humans never will. It seemed Jesus was able to totally separate his physical feelings from his intentions and state of being, which still baffles me. (I am not a subscribed Christian either, but I do believe in many of Jesus's teachings).
Also, why does it matter that love in humans may be expressed neurochemically? Again, if one only feels love but never acts on it, I agree that might not be genuine love. But as long as both components for love is being acted out, I don't see why the chemistry matters.
It matters because it confuses the adept entity who attempts to purify themselves of the thoughts of our existence. They will always be subject to the primal nature of this existence (chemical) which can hinder a pure emotion/intention/feeling. I guess to a degree it doesn't matter, but it can make it more difficult for humans to perceive what the actual vibration of love really is.
By the way, what are your metaphysics? You don't seem to be a naturalist since you believe in God.
I do believe in a god/creator. I do not fully subscribe to any one religion. Rather, I have strong foundations in Christianity, The Law of One material, and other neopaganistic beliefs (The Power of Now, Meditations, etc). I believe in the coming century there will be a scientific revolution in the areas of quantum physics and quantum computation, and quantum physics/phenomena will help us understand and explain much more of the universe.

I hope this provides clarity into my thought processes, if not feel free to ask more specific questions so I can describe it more thoroughly. Thanks for the reply though, I enjoy being challenged about my thoughts as it helps me to question what I know and why I believe what I do.
