iktf, but am not sure if I would genuinely prefer to live in the ignorance that so many, but certainly not all, attractive women live. Is ignorance really bliss? I definitely envy the happiness of dumb guys or attractive girls, and maybe it's just a sense of attachment with my mean and lonely self, but I don't know if I'd give up what I have now for something like what those happy people have.

Faust is genuinely the most perfect piece of literature ever made. Most negative opinions originate from either pure secularism, ignorance of the context, or impatience.

I was completely unsatisfied with the ending at first, but then I began researching it and now see it as the sort of thing that needs to be 'lived with' to fully comprehend.

as a work of literature, that is, in terms of the quality of the writing "the gay science" by friedrich nietzsche follwed by ecce homo also by him. the symposium by plato is also up there, and many people would probably rate it higher than those two.

I've dated a handful very self-aware 9-10/10 girls, all of whom were rich and had elite educations.

They all had catastrophic meltdowns because they were too smart and thoughtful to float by without sensing how gross their position in life sorta was. Only envy the stupid ones.
>>
>>7557005
So wait, smart women are actually capable of sensing that every time they reach out to interact with the world, men roll out a red carpet and carry them along it instead of actually letting them?

Do they freak out or something? I guess a protective bubble of dick can become a prison of dick if you're aware of it and want out.

I worry that as we age gradually stop experiencing qualia and become philosophical zombies
because I sometimes get the feeling that's happening to me lately
and I know a true philosophical zombie wouldn't write this post
but that doesn't stop me from feeling the feeling or worrying about it
so more and more I feel the part of my mind that follows along generating the narrative of my identity falling behind in time
and it's like I have lost time
not lost to memory but lost to experience in the moment
like the exact opposite of zoning out while driving
so you could say I have a similar concern I guess
it's more that I'm concerned I can feel myself gradually becoming less real

Nah. His extra distinction of analytic and synthetic, supposedly independent of the a priori /a posteriori distinction is nonsense.

Treatise of Human Nature is a better answer.

Hume - Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding

It gets dredged up every few hundred years in a new form, and whenever it does it's right, but I'll take the original one.

>>7557005
If they were so clever, I'd think they realize their situation isn't something bad. If they can comprehend others positions, they can actually make more out of it.

I also had a gf who knew that whenever some guy offered her to teach something, they really want to bang her. She spoke about, me without me asking, how many girls (and people in general) have no determination in life, how chicks seek drama, stick with abusive guys, etc. She herself told me how she observes that even the ugly girls get good sex (she was shocked and angry that putting in work, and looking like her, didn't give much more advantage - good looking guys would bang down too). She knew guys try to get pussy and often, when they try to achieve something, it's also just for status and thus for pussy. She would tell me (again, without asking) that she knew people would always come up try to speak to her at parties and that this isn't the case for guys.

And she wrote one of her Bachelors thesis Masters on Wittgensteins Investigations (>>7556133)

She is protective of herself but I don't think she would at any point consider the fact that people are friendly to her (because of the omnopresent theme of sex in this world) a disturbing thing to her.

Tell me how things between you and those girls ended.

My ex broke up with me, and me being not in the city much was part of it.
She had negative sides to her: Foremostly being a complete egoist (thus I would have always to fear she'd break loyalty and she would never make sacrifices for someone else - the kind of person who never wants children).
She's the kind of girl that tried to be extra good in bad and extra kinky in bed, but maybe more to think of herself of a person with an awesome sex life than actually enjoying the thing in itself. Same goes for partner, being better and hotter than other peoples at events and parties, etc. Not sure if I like this or not. But she has many good qualities that I now always seek for in girls and they are not to find.
Sorry for the rant - I've not seen her in 2 years and never talked about her, except when I show her pics to other chicks for the purpose of make them insecure about themselves infront of me, lel
