What would be the least regrettable thing to become addicted to?
The addiction does not matter but by Wallace's view politics is the most degrading and pathetic of addictions.
Adrenaline, caffeine, women.
Many more things over DFW
>least regrettable
>women
Only someone who has never been in a relationship would say this. I had addictions to 4 substances at various times, wasted half a life on gayming and moronic boards like IQfy, but my sole genuine regret is a w*man.
To answer OP’s question, I’d say vaping is safe and inexpensive, but nicotine is still highly addictive and a b***h to quit.
Women are such a waste of time it's unreal, especially compared to the actual value they add to your life. It is literally just a cross between a roommate and a gay loser little brother, but you are programmed to tolerate them. At least with a roommate you can maintain objectivity when they are obnoxious and act accordingly, and with a little brother you can also recognize objectively he's a boring little gay dipshit and you're never going to be that close because he's just such a lazy stupid fruit who is only tolerable in small doses. A woman has all the downsides of both of these and no possibility of improvement. It's just some slow, short, dimwitted man who now lives with you. And he has a pre-moistened front anus you can frick. That's the only difference. You are just living with a small dimwitted gay man who spends half the day putting on clothes but he has a bonus moist anus where his scrotum should be.
Amen. And if you’re sensitive and inexperienced as I was at the time, it’s going to get messy.
For you, for some people like me nicotine is not addictive.
t. Smoked a pack a day for years and then found it really easy to quit
Do people with women addictions actually find themselves in relationships in that "just kinda happened" way? Asking for a friend.
Exercise
Came here to post this
I come from a family of addicts. Literally every male blood-relative that I have is obscenely overweight. And the only exception to that trend is my father: a 72 y/o fitness fanatic who -- despite his age -- somehow manages to lift more iron than anyone else at the YMCA.
He's talked to me about it, since I've had addiction problems of my own (albiet ones that weren't really substance related). And he's fully admitted to me that there's an addictive element to it for him: he becomes anxious and irritable whenever an injury or something prevents him from working out. So yeah, I'm trying to get "addicted to exercise" myself, before my metabolism changes after I hit 30, and I rapidly inflate like all my uncles did. Here's hoping I succeed.
Btw, it's worth mentioning that fitness wasn't my dad's ONLY addiction growing up. He was also addicted to sex, and was apparently quite the Casanova before my mom finally tamed him. Seriously: there doesn't seem to be a single country where he hasn't either been there, or been in a woman from there.
But anyhow: exercise is his main "vice of choice" now, and from what I've seen, it's the best one to have. It's also worth mentioning that I've been to AA meetings quite a few times, and literally every "succesfully recovered" person there falls into one of three categories:
> 1. Chainsmoker
> 2. Extremely overweight
> 3. Impossibly ripped.
It seems like you never fully give up addictive habits. You only seem to trade one for another. So I'm still trying to figure out how to get addicted to exercise. It's a struggle, but hopefully I'll get there eventually.
Your father is a trenbolone acetate addict anon.
>trenbolone acetate
Never heard of that one, anon. Will have to look it up.
But he's always been very cautious about what he takes, since our family has a history of heart troubles. So I kind of doubt it.
Also, I'm reading about this steroid that you mentioned, and it didn't become popular among bodybuilders until the 1980s. My Dad was born in 1949, and got IQfy in his early teens and 20s, so I doubt that was part of it (though he certainly tried other psychadelics, hippie that he was).
I was mostly kidding anon, tren is kind of a meme on IQfy. But the fact that your dad is the strongest at his gym at age 72 is a pretty good indicator that he might not be natty. You should ask him.
Actually... I think he's 74 now. Just realized I got the age wrong, sorry. But yeah, I'm trying to follow his example, as difficult as that can be.

An addiction's main negative feature is its constraint on a person's variety of experience, so perhaps an addiction to acting would mitigate that impact.

pretty childish way of dealing with one's insecurities
The Bible, people love that shit.
insecurity is just another form of weakness, dumbass
>oooh i have to affirm my cartoonish bullshit to a random person
You seem pretty sure of things yourself.
>seeing usual positive things as addictions
Is this some rewire your brain bullshit? Anyway, I'm somewhat secure of my own views, I'm leaving, you can stay here with the other morons. Keep winning with them.
I actually DO like affirming my beliefs to random people and WINNING because this hardens the idea in my mind and gives me a testosterone boost for my upcoming workout session. Stay weak and mad
KEK yes, exactly. I'm done with my breakfast. Now, I'm really leaving.
>stay weak and mad
>replying to people on IQfy
Anon…
>weakness
narcissism*
what's the proper way to deal with your insecurities oh wise one? lash out at others online? ugh sweetie like just have a little EMPATHY?
Understanding, rather than denial and pretending and faking until you make it. You can't force your way through and "just do it" everything. This crap of yours sounds like something taken out of some fricking advertisement. For frick sake. I'm not even that fricking smart or wise, I'm just not memeing.
understanding is a form of power
It is way more subtle than just power. You are thinking of the seed as if it were the tree.
if I’m more powerful than you in every single way, then how the frick are you better than me? What is this subtle magic bullshit you’re talking about and why should I care about if it it does not make me more powerful?
in my experience understanding your insecurities only resigns you to them, immobilizes you. everyone that ever accomplished anything did it through a tightly knit web of delusions. telling people to deconstruct and analyze themselves is actively and i think often intentionally harmful. it's crabs in a bucket shit, at the bottom of the bucket is meek self-aware irony, the worst possible personality trait.
It is the opposite of it, they end up like that only if they are obsessed with this idea of strength and power and whatever, because suddenly they are able to do whatever they want with themselves but it still takes time. You can only accomplish so much in 24.hours.
What the frick is better supposed to mean? The thing is exactly that, I'm fine being myself. I wouldn't trade it for "better", because I have a decent deal of myself "figured out". I don't want a "better" that I would have to figure out all over again. Do you understand that? There is no better, you are stuck with your shit, you have to deal with YOUR shit, I have to deal with MY shit. To each, their own shit. I call it: shitism. The results of years of shitposting and shitting on anons.
>I will not try to be better ever
yikes my pussy dried up so fast. The other guy is right
>can't read
>pussy metaphors
Le coomer can't see any problem with the improover. I'm honestly not surprised.
every man who goes to the gym or works and makes money is an improoover
No, it is not that simple.
>*sigh*
Let's fricking go, all over again.
http://classics.mit.edu/Plato/republic.2.i.html
>That was why I asked you the question, I replied, because I see that you are indifferent about money, which is a characteristic rather of those who have inherited their fortunes than of those who have acquired them; the makers of fortunes have a second love of money as a creation of their own, resembling the affection of authors for their own poems, or of parents for their children, besides that natural love of it for the sake of use and profit which is common to them and all men. And hence they are very bad company, for they can talk about nothing but the praises of wealth. That is true, he said.
Plato's republic chapter 1.
> And hence they are very bad company, for they can talk about nothing but the praises of wealth
that doesn’t even follow necessarily. Plato was such a pseud
>thinks about nothing but improoving
Don't get me wrong, I don't care about US politics, but consider Biden and his son. He clearly has prioritized his political career over his family, maybe more than he should have? I don't think that necessarily makes him a bad politician (if anything, it makes him a good one, considering that he is willing to make sacrifices for it). But do you understand that he is making a sacrifice for it?
Would you do the same? Do you understand where I'm getting at? What are someone's priorities, what are the reasons behind this improoving or whatever thing. Is it something empty? Just for the sake of it? This is foolish, almost childish. And it used to be a cornerstone of capitalism that if we didn't started checking what the frick we are doing, it would end up dooming us all.
that’s like saying a guy broke his legs in the gym therefore you shouldn’t work out
>can' t fricking read
No, it is all about priorities, it has nothing to do with circumstances. Consider that he ends up his government, gets into it again, 8 years president of the US. After that, does he keeps on it? Or does he stop with it and starts prioritizing figuring out whatever the frick is wrong with his son? You must be pretending, there is no way someone is that fricking dumb.
>this guy tried to seek power but he’s stupid so it caused problems
that applies to every human endeavor. Just don’t be stupid. His son ruins his reputation which actually makes him weaker. This is so obvious to anyone with a brain
>you seek power until you are invulnerable
Yeah bro. Real life cheat codes, god mode and shit.
>i lift all my problems
and when that doesn't work, i throw money at them, and when that doesn't work either, i buy a big gun and shoot at the problem, and when that doesn't work i get a bigger gun.
This is childish as frick.
are you saying there are more powerful mindsets to have? Hmmm
I'm just saying that this doesn't solve everything in life. You have to pick shit, there is no "get it all", "you win", or whatever. That dude is the fricking president of the US, probably the most powerful man on earth, and he still has a lot of problems. Life isn't that fricking simple. This is why answering "what is life?" is so complicated.
you don’t even know what you believe, you just want to criticize what I’m saying without making an actual argument. It’s not that hard to understand that more power is always better. Power is freedom, potential, influence, advantage. Power can be given away easily (if you wish), but it cannot be gained easily. Power is your state of mind, your body, and your physical possessions and social networks. The most powerful man, ideally, is wealthy, handsome, positive, confident, friendly, fit, disciplined, hardworking, intelligent, and above all, always wanting to improve in these areas, always loving life, always wanting more. Yes it is true that no one knows exactly HOW to maximize power, but that is true regardless of what your particular end goal is, but in most cases it’s fairly straightforward if you break it down by each category.
>Biden is the most powerful man
lol
lmao
>more power is le free
Everything comes with a cost. Nothing is free. That is my point, you are always choosing. >maximizing power is the best thing one could possibly do
It is not, that is the point.
And there are diminishing returns. There is so much money one can have until it starts not making that much of a difference, same with power and so on.
Oh, I'm sorry, it is the israelites. I forgot.

>What would be the least regrettable thing to become addicted to?
Exercise. Endorphins from strength and cardio training are better than most if not all drugs.
Caffeine is fairly harmless too, just makes you a bit fricked for 3 days if you go off it.
