We are facing issues with our reward function. Short term reward seems to overrule long term planning and goals if the outside pressure is not there and we have a choice. Is this something without technical solution? Or can we learn to reprogram our reward function with biofeedback, brain implants, meds or application in Apple watch? I think the subject deserves a Black Mirror episode and few startups.

the answer is simple. We don’t have free will, we are barely above chimpanzees, we evolved to live in a world without distractions, but here we are. Evolution is slow and torturous, consuming many in its unforgiving path. We must master genetic engineering and save ourselves from years of suffering.

This, except every night I plan to watch a "life changing kino" and vow to turn things around. What actually happens is that I re-watch something from the same pool of 100 films for the hundredth time, gorge on junk food (swear it'll be the last time), sleep at 03:00, wake up feeling like Hell and repeat it all. I gave up on life about 6 years ago. Thus far my parents still spend money on me because they think I'm still trying, but I'm not. I'm apathetic to a degree I never thought possible. I lie, I cheat, I basically steal their money to live alone and "study", I do nothing all day, I don't even enjoy anything; I'm just marking time. No joke, there are days where I have the same song on repeat while I'm F5ing the same few pages, and waiting for the time to take a nap/go to sleep. Going to sleep is the best part of my day (when the upstairs fossils don't blast their tv; I literally pray to God every night and beg him to give them a stroke).

The worst part is that I know that if I tried, just a little bit, my life would move forward. But because I'm scared, because I'm terrified of admitting that I'm not special or unique and that my life will be an average wagecuck's one, I'm trying to prolong this period. But this way I'm killing even that small chance of my life turning out "good enough". I'm killing everything. I'm killing my body, I'm killing my spirit, I'm killing my future. I reached 110 kgs. Whenever I lose a couple of kgs, be they 2 or 10, I immediately start binge eating and coming back to this weight. Last summer I reached 90 and now I'm back at 109. I was 105 a few days ago, and the last two days I spent gorging on sweets and junk food. I do this all on purpose. I hate myself, and I fear the new day, so I just destroy everything I touch.

Lately I've been feeling as if there's a crater where my head should be. I feel lighter, as if there's nothing there. I have this genuine sensation that there's something pulling my brain and head to the back, like a sort of aura that keeps me trapped. I wish I could go back. At the very least to my old self. I used to be serious and autistic, but I was constant. Now my moods change within minutes, I lose my temper and composure, I play the fool and happy-go-lucky dude because I'm terrified of having an identity. Even when I do classes with my tutor I stutter on purpose, so that he'll take pity on me and pay attention and help me. I have reached lows I never thought possible. I have not the faintest idea who or what I am. I truly feel as if I'm a pale imitation of a man, some discarded project that God just cast down to Earth. I think my soul is broken and the worst thing is, it never even went through any crucible...

I’m at the bored stage but I’m not horny so porn isnt even doing it for me. I have no idea what to do right now. I’m literally jumping back and forth between boards like I’m high on crack or something. I seem to have a horrible combination of ADHD and a complete lack of interest in most activities. I have a job, I’m a good worker, I like to be busy, but at home I have no idea what to do with my time. I can’t even envision a perfect day, what exactly I’m seeking with 4chan even. But this place is my default, I always return here. Maybe it’s the freedom I like, the ability to say whatever I want. And of course the humor here is distinct from other places. The YouTube comments are depressing because of how cringe and NPC they are. You also get reminded that the whole game is to get views and comments and improve the algorithm blah blah blah. The same is true here but to a lesser extent. Anons try to get (You)’s by being deliberately vague, controversial, and shocking. I try to have genuine discussions but they’re always disappointing because people are morons and I am coincidentally right about everything. Consequently I am constantly bored to death because nothing surprises or excites me. But anons here can be funny at least, so maybe that’s the high that I seek, and of course having the opportunity to embarrass people with how dumb their beliefs are.

if I had infinite money I would also spend time with investments. Unfortunately I have already invested most of my money and I don’t like the idea of constantly selling and trying quick schemes. I’m up 20% and I want to keep this going for years. This also motivates me to go to work, to have more money to invest. Otherwise I would take off work when everything is slow and they allow me to stay at home. I think about alternative ways to make money but I can’t find a solution.

>if I had infinite money I would also spend time with investments.
I started out pretty poor in crypt. You can start with a couple hundred dollars, if you're willing to do your homework.
>I think about alternative ways to make money but I can’t find a solution.
My recommendation would be to find "utility" plays in crypto that are very new and low market cap. Take your initial investment out as it starts to do well and stagger out your profit taking of the rest at certain preplanned levels. Have a plan and stick to it. Then rinse repeat this process with other new and under the radar "utility" projects that you find. You'll have a portfolio of coins to watch over, plus your initial investment still in hand.

That's what I would do - but then what do I know?

[Anonymous No.23050617]

>>23050596
I refuse to invest in something I don’t understand. There’s so many cryptos, I just don’t see the difference. Even if I got rich off of them, I can’t even pretend that this took any skill. It’s mostly luck and being risky, which is arguably dumb. I’m playing the long game. I will have plenty of money, I will have everything I need. Money is not a problem for me. It is my health, my mind, my energy. I’m sure that if I were a billionaire, I would try to be like Bryan Johnson, but not in an autistic attempt to make myself younger, but simply to have more energy and vigor, to make even more money, to be more powerful. Yes, I would have slave-girls to monitor me and prevent me from fapping, if necessary. They would handle all my communications, I would never use a device. I would have personal chefs, since I hate cooking. I suppose I could have this to an extent if I had a girlfriend. I’ve been thinking about seducing a black girl from work (there are several to choose from, and they all like me anyway) and making her my helper. The problem of course is that she will try to drain my money and my sexual energy. I know it is dumb, it wouldn’t work, but I like the idea. Yes, I need a woman, I think that would help. But I don’t want to waste resources on a temporary girl, and I don’t want to devote myself to a woman that is below me, because one day I would like to have children, and they should have the best genetics. The more I wait, the more money I will have, and the better my options, and the better their genetics. This would please me

[Anonymous No.23050628]

All I have to do is just not do it. Say it with me. Really. If I just do nothing then I will have everything. Go to work, come home, eat rest. Do nothing on the weekends. It’s so simple, so certain. Yes, but I want to scroll. But you know it is bad for you. Of course, but we all do things that we know are bad for us. And yet I want to do it. So just don’t do it. But I want to. Then you are retarded. Yes, that is the problem. So try to not be retarded. I suppose that’s what I am already doing, but failing. Then perhaps you are destined to fail. Maybe you’re right. I am just a monkey after all. There are winners and losers, it is determined largely by genetics, these things must be improved over time, lots and lots of time. If something is wrong with me, if I am too impulsive, if I am not suited to thrive in a modern environment full of distractions, then perhaps it is good for the species that I… die out. And yet, don’t want to die. I want to win. But then, what about my children? But won’t I be a good father? Yes, I’m sure that I will (most parents are idiots, they do not know how influential they are, how easy it is to guide them on the path of greatness). So is it my genetics or my conditioning? I like to think it’s the latter. Habits and experiences, they are important, too. It’s all wiring and re-wiring, programming the conscious and sub-conscious. Yes, do the affirmations, manifest your desires, be positive! But like all things, this too becomes… boring

Come now, you know that you are a spectacle, why not profit off of this? Well, what exactly would I gain? I have already laughed, I don’t see much more to gain than this. Hmm, but if you tune your work a bit here and there, then you could direct your forces into something more palatable for the masses, you are very talented and funny, but you must not present all of yourself, while also preserving that genuine personality that is all-too-rare in this world. Well, this is a lot of effort, and quite risky, and I think you are being a bit too optimistic, maybe even narcissistic. Do you really think people like you? Do you really think more than a handful of people agree with you? You yourself know that fewer than a dozen people would agree with you on politics alone, which is already so full of strange opinions. You are different, too different, too alienating, and you want to unite everyone! What a joke. Better to be mysterious, because you are mysterious, even when you reveal everything. All of these things are perceived quite subconsciously, by the eyes, the face, the movements. But now we have already returned to the self-improoover auramaxxing obsession that is so… repetitive

I kept bringing the cup of milk to my lips, hoping this would dissipate the laughter, but it only worsened it, and I kept laughing like a maniac, until I got it out of my system.

You won't overcome human nature, you need a family of your own and then you simply won't be the same pathetic loser you see yourself as now (no offense meant, I am as well) if you do something new enough, eventually you'll actually start to feel new, then you won't need the satisfaction you're trying to find on this image board or through porn or even through books, but books are actually a helpful domain mostly, you can understand yourself better through understanding people better, the difference between doing what I'm doing right now; rambling to nigger faggots on 4channel.com, and actually just writing a novel are that you can get
money and a bit of acclaim, problem is I feel intellectually minded people innately see themselves as a burden so they project through their behaviour what they feel society wants them to do, and that does not include being a writer, we must brandish a will to power and having a family is the based way to do it, you don't need society's scraps then. I however am in no rush, I feel it's kismet I'll be payed off eventually, till then I'll simply bang my ugk and my screw tapes, gradually increase the weight I can lift and try to prepare for moments of idle hands as best I can, but I'm extremely self sabotaging so who knows how good that'll turn out, peace out and fuck all of you degenerates

Brother, should we go to the /lit/ board? It is a fine board, engaging in intellectual discussions about books, philosophy, among others? Maybe you would not want to browse the other boards, for now. And as you have actually work to do, books to read, exams to study for, it would be best if you keep your mind away from unintellectual things. Atleast you can read the /lit/ board. Hey look, there is the /wg/. You are a writer, you've been writing that book now. Great book, ingenius. It is on the first page, somebody posted something, hmmm.. that's interesting. Let me move on now, is there something else here, let's check the catalouge. Yes, I see all of this, but nothing seems to catch my attention. What is that? "God is dead" says anon. Our anon here posted a frog picture of Nietzsche, it looks sad. He isn't happy that God is dead. That is the viewpoint of Nietzsche, he said that "God is dead and we have killed him". I wonder how it was received in his time, though the statement "we have killed him" does not indicate a hatred or maybe even, a denial of God. It is an interesting statement. But I don't even pay attention, my mind is on automatic mode, and I am reading these texts and thoughts pass through my head. Hmmm... the clock is so much already, I should read that book. I should read Dostoyievsky before I need to go to the store. How will I manage to go to the store, I feel unsocial because I have been on the internet. Let me browse a little more, in fifteen minutes I am going to read the book, then I will go to the store. Isn't this hilarious, how you don't want to go to the store? Oh, brother, what madness.

I currently have no interest to read anything. It’s all just a product of a flawed human mind with an agenda, to spread a boring idea or sound smart or worse, to make money. I’ve already understood everything anyway. We’re just monkeys trying to survive. Why is time so slow? Why are we not evolving faster? Do you know hard it is to see their ugly faces and their protruding teeth and their big butts and hear their laughs and pretend that they aren’t monkeys? That we’re not all monkeys? How do you forget this? It is so obvious. If we were to let evolution take its course, then who knows how long it would take until we reach a state of semi-perfection? An optimization of the mind and body? Apparently most people think we are already perfect, that evolution has already ended, or that God created us in his image, that we merely need to choose what is best in any given situation. But that is clearly false. You can give a chimp human technology but it will always be a chimp. True progress starts with DNA.

Human beings have established society thousands of years ago and have been evolving ever since. Literature of various times gives us knowledge of our stages of evolution and how the great minds thought we should move forwards. Obviously none of it is perfect, but ignoring those texts will not help you develop further. Other than that I didn't get what you talked about. How are we still chimps [as we're already evolved past that]?

What's wrong with this? Rich posh people all throughout history did something similar because they didn't have to work. The only difference is that they did it outside. The depression comes from the constant societal shame more than anything else.

We are chimps compared to the species that will replace us. One day we won’t be humans, or at least not “homo sapiens.” The smartest human alive today, with the most self-control and strongest force of will, if discovered by an advanced species, would be nothing more than a curiosity, perhaps worthy of a 4 minute YouTube video, comparable to Koko the gorilla or Alex the parrot. Before I internalized the truth of evolution, I was always so jealous of the animals, how their movements are so efficient, especially the insects. But now it’s clear to me that this is simply because these animals have evolved for hundreds of millions of years for their environment. They are more or less perfectly adapted. They are never confused, they never question their purpose, or what to do. It’s an interesting thought experiment, to wonder what would happen if humans could somehow maintain this exact type of society for millions of years, to see how we would evolve in an unchanging, technological environment. Would mental illnesses like depression disappear completely? Would anyone ever procrastinate? Would there be incels? How many car crashes would there be? What would people do in their free time? But society is always changing, and ADHD hunter-Chads like myself are only becoming more disadvantaged, at least in the sphere of free time. That is my main enemy: leisure. If only I had the energy to work 70 hours a week, then I would.

You are a moron. A midwit. A buffoon. An idiot. A retard. Does bacteria not evolve TOWARDS resistance to bacterial treatment? That is not to say that it consciously does this, that there is some force in nature that WANTS to evolve into something “better.” And yet it is the case that bacteria often finds a way to evolve into something that is immune to our ways of killing it, because that is how natural selection works. Don’t even respond.

I don't really know why I still come here since this was me two years ago. I began learning Ancient Greek and that got me out of it. Now I'm also learning German and I've started writing articles and fiction. Ik it's basic advice but get some sort of hobby. The worst bit is that I totally quit porn but some is just totally burned into my memory. I've even seen it in dreams. I also just want to punch myself whenever I think about how I burned YEARS on the internet. So many things I could've done instead.

imagine if we could just like be perfect haha. Hmm, I wonder what that looks like. What is the perfection of masculinity? Or confidence? Or health? It probably looks like my favorite anime characters, maybe even better. I could literally be an anime character in real life, how cool is that? But other people don’t know it. Why can’t they feel my aura? I have a really strong will to power, can’t they feel it? Maybe I’m just being too negative. Gotta be positive, gotta be positive. No more dopamine, let’s do it cold turkey, once and for all. The beginning is the hardest part! It just gets easier from there. It’s not the intensity of the desire, but the duration of the desire, that distinguishes higher men. It’s literally just a memory problem. How hard is it to always remember my goal? I’ll just meditate on it all day if I have to. But does this burn a lot of calories? My mind is already busy as it is. Could I actually meditate on the same idea all day? I think I will need to buy some sugary foods to give me energy for this. Then again, if I go for a fat-based diet, then maybe my body will become more efficient at using fat for energy, which is healthier, I think. Ok but what exactly should I meditate on? This whole thing doesn’t seem natural, maybe I am just doing too much

You need to balance internet consumption with creative endeavour, If you aren't creative person then just producing something through hard work will suffice.

/lit/ sucks. It is useless most of the time at best. Terrible for your mental health at worst. Once you grow up you break the chains of /lit/ as it offers little. 4chan as a whole has gotten worse at the same time. Everyone who’s taken a long break always speaks of an improvement in their wellbeing. How the fuck do you spend so much time here and why? What do you find so interesting to post about?

Many people wind up on 4chan because they are atomised. True autists are on Pinterest or Imgur, just mindlessly scrolling images, saving them as pins or in folders on their drives. There is little to no interaction. Most of those users are female btw, who have plenty of social contact in their real lives. The people who get addicted here are lonely, and mostly all male. They want social stimulation. The porn addiction is actually again another symptom of this. They don't have intimacy in their real lives and often times they mistake "feeling horny" with wanting intimacy. Their masturbation is an ineffective substitute to what they need. They overdo it and feel bad because they are exhausting themselves physically in a way they never would if they had a sex life.

Houllebecq summarises this issue well in his work. And the title "Atomised" is a perfect description of it. You guys need to put effort into making real friends and relationships. Being part of actual communities, even if they are work related. Human beings are social animals and your case is incredibly sad because you are surrounded by people as our communities and cities swell in number, but simultaneously you are dying internally from being alone.

You simply have arrested development. You are not special or unique. In the past, before the internet, retards like you would self-annihilate with alcohol. Boring wage-cuckery is not the only option, there are many ways to make your own way in life. You are just hyper fixated on some childish fantasy though. This is why it is important for parents to kick their children out of the home early if they haven't committed to one direction yet (e.g. going to med school or similar). Simply take the plunge in some direction (join the army, get a wage job, move to a new city, become a hobo, whatever) and you will free yourself of this condition. It really is that easy and you are killing yourself in anxiety out of fear to grow up.

Be around real people. Not around people, you stop wondering what they think as individuals and you stop considering feedback about yourself. That can be destructive and lower your self esteem or it can be good, raising it and giving you the confidence to face the world. They also hold you accountable. That guy you respect asks how that project you are working on is going. Do you want to tell him you blew it off and gooned all day? No. Will you lie to save face? Are you someone who just lies all the time now? Thats not a fucking good thing.
