Are you ever afraid that you will end up completely alone, surrounded by obscure books and your brain filled with useless knowledge making you unable to connect to anything other than your books?
Because I am.

Is that necessarily bad? I think only if you really wanted to connect to something else but were unable to. But if you only like your book and you're neither leeching off nor hurting anyone else...

The guy's problem is he's just a midwit
I'm looking forward to being an old guy with a playground for my hobby and doing what I like for retirement. That sounds like a based life.
Do you think Ebert's astrology readings work? I am considering to pay him for it. You can always trust bald men to have integrity.

Jesus... that was something. I was not ready for the medium, castrated male stuff . How do we not have a lit version of kiwifarms. With this guy and Dan Schneider and all troony academics there is material there
You could add Greg Sadler and his troony son.
Grace Lavery would on any lolcow list, either here or /fa.
that guy is autogynephilia personified.
>Greg Sadler and his troony son.
???
This seems like a manic/delusional episode fueled by booze or something. Not surprising it was triggered by some divorce drama with the wife doing sleazy shit. But still.
Why keep it up tho?
I found it very soulful.
>Is that necessarily bad?
Yeah, it is bad. You wasted your life away.
what do you consider an unwasted life
>Wasting life
There's no such thing
Anon, stop being in denial.
No I'm not gay
I already had sex hundreds of times and spent several years in multiple relationships, so I’m actually looking forward to this. Ideally I’d want a good friend, been considering to reconnect with my college buddies lately, they shared my interests. Women on the other hand are trash once you get to know them, I’m absolutely content in voluntary celibacy.
>I’m absolutely content in voluntary celibacy.
Not to get too pedantic but all celibacy is, by definition, voluntary.
then explain how OP is an incel
Its an aspiration
>Are you ever afraid that you will end up completely alone,
That's an accomplishment. You want to be a normalhomosexual? Lmaooooo
As Cioran said the task of the solitary is to become more solitary.
I would like it, but I would prefer to be closer to nature like Pentti Linkola. Btw, Pentti Linkola died peacefully in his sleep:
I've dreamed about becoming a hermit and freezing to death when the first cold winter comes, if not dying earlier. Now I just wish for a nuclear holocaust, or a giant meteorite that will turn this planet into a lifeless rock again, just how it should always have been.
If you do it's entirely a failure of character. Many of the greatest minds to ever grace this world also managed to lead socially successful lives and many of them even successfully fathered whole families whilst doing so. If you're high iq and fail at the basics of life it's not because you're some tortured genius who can't fathom the basics of life, it's because you're still just a dysgenic loser selected for rejection from the gene pool.
raising a family is monkey bullshit for low iq plebs

> the person that the op refers is answering itt
You had truly to scratch the barrel if 3/4 of your list are literally 'who?' and obscure philosophers that nobody remembers like Epictetus or randoms like Averroes, that I hardly ever heard of beyond this board
>are literally 'who?'
lurk the frick more, pleb.
>obscure philosophers
>Epictetus
>Averroes
Most people with an entry level interest in philosophy know who they are.
>obscure philosophers that nobody remembers like Epictetus
Ho no no no, natalist sisters...
Two philosophers who literally helped shape the West, you have to go back
shit bait
it made you respond so you're beneath it
If this isn't bait you are a troglodyte who has no place on this board.
>Epictetus
>Obscure
This is the kind of moron who has children and thinks he can still write something worthwhile. You can't even raise a child, you simpleton.
>Feyerabend - no kids
He was impotent I think after being shot in WW2
Anti-natalists really are the most cringe beings. Imagine ending your blood line because you read it in a book lol
>blood line
kek, most zoomers don't even know the name of their grandfather's father. that's your bloodline bro
so poignant I giggled
Any life long celibates in there?
sure but most them were monks/religious philosophers
Caraco was a celibate till his suicide. he had just one unfortunate sexual encounter with a prostitute after that he chemically burned his dick.
plato was a gay homie. Socrates married ironically:
>“Thus, the philosopher dislikes marriage as well as what might persuade him into it??marriage is a barrier and a disaster along his route to the optimal. What great philosopher up to now has been married? Heraclitus, Plato, Descartes, Spinoza, Leibtniz, Kant, Schopenhauer?? None of these got married. What`s more, we cannot even imagine them married. A married philosopher belongs in a comedy, that`s my principle. And Socrates, the exception, the malicious Socrates, it appears, got married ironically to demonstrate this very principle.
>Every philosopher would speak as once Buddha spoke when someone told him of the birth his son, "Rahula has been born to me. A shackle has been forged for me." (Rahula here means "a little demon"). To every "free spirit" there must come a reflective hour, provided that previously he has had a one without thought, of the sort that came then to Buddha - "Life in a house," he thought to himself, "is narrow and confined, a polluted place. Freedom consists of abandoning houses;" "because he thought this way, he left the house.”
― Friedrich Nietzsche, On the Genealogy of Morals
Nietzsche unintentionally makes it very clear here why philosophers never marry and it's not because women are a shackle. Philosophers are simply afraid of the contingency of social interaction. When you're in your own head all the time the world can be whatever you want it. But as soon as you talk to another person your delusions are shattered. I've been there. Classic incel mindset. Fortunately I grew out of it.
No, its because I am superior to you social herd monkeys.
Schope does have the right to make that claim
Even his book of essays is a classic
>stop thinking now! intellectualism and creative freedom are for cowards!
>you need to listen to woman's demented babbling and make money for her to spend!
>Socrates married ironically
Every time has their own hipsters it seems.
What about Socrates/Aristotle/Plato?
They had families
that's why presocrats are superior
Socrates had children at age 60 something because when he died at 70 he mentioned they were still very young.
Also it should be noted this is against the very advice he himself gives in the Republic Book 6 that men shouldn't have kids past 55.
Someone said Nick Land had kids
he never posted any prof of his claim other than just trust me bro and btw you gays are creeps who will harass his kids if i gave you the confirmation haha
Probably because they are hapas.
No, because I have friends and family, eventually I'll find another woman to fall in love with and instead of just shagging her like all the others I'll have a family, or an extension of my existing family would be more accurate.
a large number of these (Spinoza and Kant jump out) didn't have kids because they were extreme autists rather than for concrete philosophically justified reasons
and the gay homies don't count, people who find vegana unappealing also aren't abstaining from reproduction for philosophical reasons, its because the act is extremely difficult for them unless the woman looks more like a twink
>nobody remembers like Epictetus
come on, you can do better than that
>Jesus - no kids
either we don't know that this is true or not, or we take the account that says he was childless, in which case he was literally God and we are all his children
Jordan Peterson - 2 kids
REFUTED
Jesus - no kids, an hero*
Verification not required.
I could not help but notice how you didn't list Chad. Oh, that's right, Chad wasn't an autistic loser like all of the people you listed.
n-natalistsisters, our response?
Pretty tragic actually. Perhaps if we had some of their genes nowadays floating around in our cesspool of mediocrity then there would actually be some interesting stuff to read.
The greatest writers were ALL outcasts and lonely people.
moronic as proven by
Schopenhauer and Cioran prove you wrong. Keep on pretending you didn't frick up and become a normie who will only ever write dreck.
>But Cormac McCarthy has a son!
So does Stephen King. And they're both popular culture hacks.
How is McCarthy a culture hack?
Have you read his books? His entire philosophy is a justification of evil because he believes that humans have to be evil, completely ignoring the existence of every sage or ascetic who ever lived. That's not even mentioning that upwards of five of his novels have been turned into mainstream popular movies and normies love his nihilistic dreck. Everything he writes flatters the egos of bad people.
Ebert is a Clarmont Institute connected, Peter Thiel-backed shill
No, Steve seems a lot happier than I've ever been. I'd be thrilled to be in his position.
>Are you ever afraid that you will end up completely alone, surrounded by obscure books and your brain filled with useless knowledge making you unable to connect to anything other than your books?
It's either that or end up alone but without all that obscure books and useless knowledge. I have confirmed I don't mix in with people through experience. If you're a normie, just stop reading and go socialize and consume VR entertainment on your downtime or something.
>completely alone, surrounded by obscure books and your brain filled with useless knowledge making you unable to connect to anything other than your books
sounds fricking based
It doesn't sound awful but I'd much rather be on the level of a George Steiner than a fricking Steven Donoghue though
I fear not that fate. What I fear is reaching an advanced age still wondering "what if". I fear squandering opportunities only available in one's youth.
Not quite. Surrounded by obscure books and brain filled with useless knowledge sounds good enough, I'm afraid I'll be surrounded by midwit books I didnt even read, and my brain isn't even filled with useless knowledge but with none all
THIS IS A STEVE DONOGHUE BOARD
quints of truth
No, I am very specifically afraid of ending up in a group home and tormented by the staff. That is a major concern to me. If I could support myself I wouldn't care so much to yell and belittle people often.
Just kys when you reach that stage. You can probably make it to 80 before you need to be institutionalized.
No, I am mentally handicapped and my father said I would either have to live with my sister or go to a home.
i’m afraid i’ll end up like pic rel, society is bullshit.
This is a dream for zoomers
Damn, looking at that image again, Travis really liked his porno mags.
>useless knowledge
i know how to write books, poetry, and paint, did you think all i did was consume? i create too.
I'm a married woman so no
Most married people don't stay married. Of those who do, only half can have the pleasure of dying first. There are many ways a person could unexpectedly find themselves alone in old age
Wisdom isn't a team sport. By the same coin, accumulation of facts we be just as useless as you fear.
>John David Ebert
Literally the only thing worth watching on YouTube
You're pathetic for several (really countless) reasons if you believe that.
Not really. I just don't like youtube in general. There is a higher standard of expectation in watching Ebert's lectures
I'm a blackpilled incel so I made my peace with that years ago
I am only interested in useless knowledge, as soon as something becomes useful to me I lose interest in it and it becomes work
No since there will be a tipping point where I think sentient AI is real and can marry a robot.
Good chance this happens regardless of what you do. Life is unfair and people are shit. You'll probably be another statistic so don't worry about it so much.
I'm already alone and unable to connect to anything. Its what I am.
>read books
>get smart
>use smarts to plan a destiny that can only be fulfilled by your sires beyond your lifetime
I've had two kids that I'm homeschoooling with my tutor wife.
One day my family name will be on the side of asteroid mining ships, dynasticism is the future bros
why would I be?
we all technically are born and die alone.
I'm finally at a point where I am managing to get dates with girls but they always drop me before we can get to sex or serious so yeah I'm probably going to be alone because I can't take the rejection anymore it makes me upset there's clearly something wrong with me
>alone, surrounded by obscure books
Sounds comfy
No, because it's almost my dream. I would also like to be able to travel freely around the World.
My ultimate life goal is to live alone in the hillside, surrounded by books, and writing books.
So no
not really
Years ago I quit dating and I decided I will literally only take a 18-20 year old virgin bride. The idea of being the endgame of the kind of roastie who left me because "I still want to make experiences before settling down" to get dicked by random Black folk until 30-35 is unbearable cuckoldry. I hate how promiscuous these prostitutes are. They're literally all completely fine with hookups. Why the frick would I accept to marry a post-wall prostitute whose vegana is a crater and whose ability to love is completely eroded by Black person dick? I know I'll never get a 18 year old virgin who is also worth marrying but it's that or nothing and I can focus on something else in the meantime.
>18-20 year old virgin bride
>18-20
>virgin
mormons
There are other denominations that have "technically virgins" too.
Were all delusional here.
I know it's impossible. I'm not chasing a delusion. I'm just saying that I'll live my life focusing on other things and if I get someone who fulfills this impossible standard then I'll consider a relationship again. I'm fricking done loving disgusting roasties who fricked random people before being with me. If I wanted to be with a prostitute I'd pay one, less commitment less problems.
I'm afraid of the opposite. That regardless how much I read my brain will just delete 95% of it and I will not do anything of value with the remaining 5%. So all of it will have come to nothing.
No and the only reason you would is you consider this behavior as low status
No, I'm afraid that as old I realize I was afraid to be myself. Being true to myself is more important to me than being popular.
>useless knowledge
You shouldn't have read shity books.
