Is being on the internet all day denying the will?
>>8153207
It's an addiction. I wonder if it effects the brain the way alcoholism does
>>8153207
fuck the will, burn it
>>8153211
It does. Internet addiction affects the brain the same way that alcohol does; behavioral and chemical addictions work in the same way.
I'm addicted to alcohol and the internet.

my computer broke last year and I went without internet for 3 months while I saved up for a new one. my addiction just transfered to television and I didn't go through withdrawals or anything
>>8153207
you're not addicted to the internet
you're bored
get a hobby and you won't want to sit here looking at nothing
I spent 6 hours trying to build a bookshelf.
I'm no handy man.

What makes a hobby preferable to the internet? Don't say it's more productive
>>8153451
not him but active/production vs. passive/consumption
>>8153451
Virtually any popular hobby will allow you to improve yourself more than shitposting.
>>8153368
Nah, I've had a few hobbies over the years. Internet overuse can still get addiction-level because it offers instant gratification.
>>8153457
False dichotomy. Production does not spring from nothing, consumption does not reduce the consumed to nothing. Are these posts not production? On what platform do you base this distinction? In what way are we being passive right now, or at least in comparison to what?
>>8153468
To what end and on what model are you improving yourself?

>To what end and on what model are you improving yourself?
I knew you'd ask that. I'm not gonna start from scratch and get into a philosophical "how do you define a good or bad person" discussion to try to convince someone that shitposting isn't a good use of time. If you can't see that for yourself, nothing would convince you of it anyway.
how do i get into and keep a hobby? 4chan is so much more instantly gratifying
>>8153457
I wouldn't use those words but yes. Active hobbies are way better for the brain. Even playing engaging video games can be good for the brain. The real dichotomy is growth vs stagnation.
>>8153661
But what -is- a shitpost? I want these answers mister.
>>8153689
Pomodoro technique and schedules
>>8153809
And no not the growth of your dick before any of you ingrates conflate porn consumption to creation simply because
>XD all bodily expulsion is the same, art included
>>8153207
Yes. You could interpret the Computer as a ''desublimation machine''.
You gotta get rid of it.
>>8153843
Tried that. I don't have the willpower to stick to it;_;
>>8153280
Those are bold claims.

It's fine Anon, no one's asking you to deny you're simply doing what you were tought and said to do. Just don't think you're much better becaue you have friends.
You ultimately don't have control.
We all do what we have to do within what we can do.

>Haha, I showed him! Nobody tells me to go outside and lead a healthier lifestyle without getting BTFO by my flawless logic!
>>8153207
whenever I am aware of my own existence I become overwrought. Most of my conscious thought is about how do I get out of this grinder. I don't think I am masochistic enough for life.
>>8153368
I have hobbies. I go to the internet to talk about how bad I suck at all of them without actually ever doing an about face.
>thinking you can deny the will
I bet you take everything you know about Schopenhauer from what you've read on here. There is no denying the will unless you are dead.
"We can do as we will, but we cannot will what we will."
Everything you do, every action is the will. Attempts to deny the will is an action of the will.
Accept it. Move on. Affirm life or take the blackpill.

>Maybe if I throw more spooks at him he'll forget I throwed spooks at him!
It really is fine for you to be this way Anon. There's no shame in being compelled by common opinion, or your body, or your ideology, any kind of shame is only brought by the compelling of other ideas or concepts. I'm not being sarcastic or haughty, it's you folks that are striving to achieve something.

Overslaugh is just a fact of life. Others before us had it worse; no use in Slaughtering the Soul from the contempt of the Uninitiated.
>>8156676
what? I am just talking about how my redundant existence fraught with mundane annoyances is not worth maintaining.
