    e-girlshit is fricking cringe. do you regard little girls as something important? enough to be pulled out of your sense of life, emerged up to your conscious metaphisical integration and then depicted in your art? why? how pathetic is that?

      Yes, children must be created and then protected and educated on the Truth en masse. They are one of the most valuable things imaginable.

      integration is both metaphysical and has physical analogues (digital, electronic and mechanical), not sure what is has to do with e-girl though.

        2 chicks at once. But actually, I'd go see friends who live far away, and I'd revisit places which meant a lot to me. Maybe something adventurous like scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef. And I'd finish as many of my artistic projects as possible. I would probably do some reading anyway, but I wouldn't make it a priority. And it certainly wouldn't be shit like Tuesdays With Morrie.

            Traveling is superficial? Travel can grant one experiences worth more than all the books in the world combined. Get some perspective moron

            I can‘t actually find a flaw in this honestly

            I‘d want to spend more time in Germany if I only had a year, to try and ingratiate myself there as deeply as I can before I go. But most of my other traveling is for long-term goals or would feel kinda vapid without a deeper connection. Probably just Greece too for some of the old spiritual mortality.

            I guess I‘d want to read Cities of the Plain, and Faust in the original.

            And I‘d want to finish my current project but sadly, I wouldn‘t start anything else I didn‘t feel like I could finish in a year. Maybe a few poems in my dead language of choice, and scribble the outline of something personal I‘d ask my wife to finish.

            Otherwise I‘d just spend time with her and listen to Wagner.

            Man you're gonna be dead in less than a year, why do "perspectives" matter? But besides that, scuba diving is exhilarating and the life on reefs is beautiful. And it's something my wife and I could do together.

            If you're facing death and you're still worried about that sort of thing, then you're the superficial one

            So just because I'm dying I should turn a blind eye to the fakeness of my "friends". I'd rather spend my remaining time in solitude reflecting and reading.

            I think the bigger problem there is dying, but if you have shit friends why are they still your friends?

            The point is that all friends are shit friends, true friendship where a person is even willing to give their life for you is extremely rare, it's something we will never experience.

            Just sounds like you need to go out and make some actual friends instead of sitting in your room and stewing in your own head.

            Going outside isn't a terrible thing

            I don't know that any of my friends would die for me, never been in a situation where that would be necessary. But some of them have helped me out a lot, gone way beyond what I would ever ask of someone when I was in need. I would want to see them before I died

    I wouldn't read books, I'd just become a terrorist and kill people and hopefully force the FBI to kill me. (It'd be too embarassing to get caught alive)
