So glad I have all this time to myself to study things that matter, like religion and philosophy, and don't have to spend it working at some desk doing whatever people tell me to do. The unexamined life is not worth living, after all.
What are you NEETs studying or reading today? I'm contemplating the Tao Te Ching right now. It holds immense wisdom that takes time and guidance to unearth, time which I have plenty of.
>the governing of the saint is to empty on
e's mind, substantiate one's virtue, weaken
one's worldly ambition and strengthen one's essence
Looks like wagecucks aren't gonna be reaching enlightenment any time soon!

Hello, fellow NEET. Today I'm reading Xenophon's Anabasis. I highly recommend it.
Good morning, dear NEETs.
Just another day in the life of a free man. The air is fresh, the sun is warm and bright.
I think I'll go for a walk down at the pier.
>>25031476
Ah fellow NEET, you should get hold of a sandwich artist.
>>25031164
I mostly just play WoW, fap, and sleep senpai
>>25031164
A week ago I was a wagecuck, currently reading Framing the early middle ages, by Wickham.
>>25031587
I've been meaning to cash in this 2 for 1 Turkey, Bacon & Avocado sandwich coupon.
How does it feel to be a burden on society with no positive outlook on your miserable lives
>>25031888
We post ironically desu.
>>25031164
Thispost is a fucking lie. All you did was sit in bed all day, browse anime, and jack off.
>>25031888
There's that magic word again.
"Society"
Where is this society? Is it in the air? Can I fucking touch it?
Society is the homeless man down the street. Society is the heroin junkie sucking dick under the bridge. But you don't care about them do you? To you, society is a burned out college graduate in his mid twenties working at McDonald's. Anything that isn't that is an enemy of society.
Some society you've constructed.

This book just came today, maybe it'll be useful
>>25031164
religion is cultural control, take a world religions course and you're done no need to study anything else
studying philosophy is only meaningful if you engage in debate and aren't arrogant. arrogant philosophers are dumber than someone who hasn't studied philosophy
anyways studying is futile unless application is undergone then you would have to stop being neet. you're either engineering your own demise or wasting your time if you are afraid of change
>>25032159
schopenhauer defines philosophy as having a perfect reflection of the world as representation in the subject devoid of willing
aristotle says it is to know everything generally, without necessarily knowing anything specifically
russell and whitehead agree that it is knowledge of process and atomic fact that allow the world to be grasped rightly
kant states that coming to terms with space and time as forms given for intuition are the end of questioning and that we can go no further
please continue to be condescending faggot
>>25032280
Application for whom? Myself? I find intense application for myself, that's why I'm studying in the first place. It improves my life, gives me moral and spiritual guidance, and I find great personal fulfillment from it. Society? Doesn't exist.
>>25031476
>happiness
normies need to leave
>>25032189
This guy knows what's up.
many other great books on the same topic.
>>25031164
Why can't I examine my life at home?
Studying the Upanishads right now. Feels nice to have all this time to re-read them and meditate upon them.
>>25033575
Don't worry, wagecuck, I'm sure you can watch some TV once you return from your exhausting day at the office! Look at all those Christmas commercials and marketing, capitalism has many sources of entertainment to alleviate your boredom! Just too bad they're all fleeting and inconsequential. I'm sure in a future life you can learn the right path, once you cycle through being some kind of roach or rabbit.
I'm reading the Jefferson Bible.
Come on NEETs, send me your best baits.
Pictures, pasta, I want it all.
I'm trying to build up the motivation to read The Wealth of Nations, but it isn't going easy. Been glancing at some online courses, but barely. The only time I feel motivated is when I'm fucking tweaked, and I'm not even a regular stimulant user. Wrote a shitty short story that I'll probably do nothing with. I'm sick of having people around, fuck Christmas, fuck all of this, god damn it. I need more heroin.
Agreed fellow NEET. I am on break from uni for the next month and I am currently engaging in the highest intellectual activities known to man!

Fuck off out of my thread, normie.
I have to work or starve, I dont enjoy my job but I have to do it. Dont really have a choice, whats the point of these threads?
>>25034208

Exam at in 1.5 hrs music theory
Will be studying some film composition from the berklee online course i took last year but never got motivation to do it so i failed. But i realised that it expires in 5 days and all the info i paid for will be gone so im planning to cram it with my autistic music exams in this week before friday.
I'm doing the same thing as you are, but getting paid for it
Wrekt
>>25034217
well thats not very nice
also, when these threads say theyre fucking my girl its kinda funny, I dont have a gf or a fun life, if neets are so happy, why do they come to r9k? I thought r9k was for unhappy robots, not neets that are happy and get sex, which makes them basically normies
>>25034259
No responses, eh? Guess I am right
>>25034252
I am getting paid too, anon. Your tax dollars are giving me quite enough to enjoy myself with.
>I'm too stupid and lazy to do anything with my life so I dropped out of highschool
That's basically what these threads come down to.
>>25034685
I got all A's in high school and scored 2300 on the SAT.

You know damn well you can't afford anything that goes beyond "cheap shit"-tier price.
Call me when you buy a car, or a house, a nice watch, or good clothes.
But if you're happy to stay like this, well okay then. I'm just a bit sad for you.
>>25034861
Doesn't change the fact that you're lazy and decided to go the easy way. Shame this way stops fairly abruptly.

Same that, by that time, your brains will be on the ceiling already, because your life was so unfilfilling.

Now THIS is good standup material.

>>25031164
I had to read that book like 1,000 times to really get some parts of it, and I am sure there is still much in it I do not understand. But it was not the rereading that led to discovery, it was actually applying those things to life and getting experience. Don't let that philosophy justify stagnant behavior.
Although desu, Taoism is a pretty anti-social system, but one I firmly believe works.
Another cringe thread
>>25034259
1 hour ago, still not one response disproving me
>>25035258
Law firms don't work like that buddy.
If you're not partner in your firm already, you just can't become a partner in another one before showing your worth.
Ah, the joy of talking to an ignorant person.
I'll think about you when I make my clients pay for an hour what you get for a month. I'll even gladly give some money from my own pocket to lazy fucks like you, because that'll make you live your pathetic life just a bit longer. I'm generous like that.

>>25035395
Go back to plebbit for your upvotes, fucker. Everyone knows these threads are bait.
>>25035455
I must agree with anon.
He must have been a very shit person if the whole thing ended up like that.
Sometimes you have to say no. Put a stop. And if it's still too much for you, you can easily go to a smaller law firm, where you'll earn less, but have more time for you and your family. Salary will still be BY FAR, in the top 1%, so unless you have an extremely expensive lifestyle, you should be all right.
>>25035455
Maybe your dad killed himself because even as a lawyer, he couldn't raise a son he was proud of

Society is a collective term for an organized large group of humans in a civilized state you fucking retard.
When we say contribute to society we mean what do you give to society? Society gives you your food, electricity, entertainment and so on but you dont give jackshit back to it, the least you can do is give society some effort as payment for all the luxuries it provides you fucking leeching piece of shit.
Has anyone tried "Wageslave: The Visual Novel"? It's actually quite compelling
You wake up every morning at 8 AM to shower, eat, shit, and then walk 5 miles to your MCJOB. You have 3 options every day 1. Lament existence 2. Kill yourself 3. Complete Order. Occasionally NEETfrog will accost you on your way to work. It's pretty fun.
Seems you DO have a job,distributing grief.

I just finished Berlin's Two Concepts of Liberty and I realized that there has literally not been a single person I have interacted with in my entire life who talked about "freedom from" and actually knew what the hell he was talking about.
people will tell themselves anything to legitimize their poor life choices. it's fascinating

You can find some pretty cool books and stuff at audio dot info. There were some of the berklee books on scribd and 4share a few years ago, maybe they're still there.
>>25036064
society forced us out of living off of farming and hunting. society should expect a miniscule amount of outcasts like us who are not capable to participate in the modern world. slowly we will die off, maybe evolution will even prevent people like us from being born in the future. until then we will leech off of you. worst thing that will happen we can take part time jobs and be huge slackers. we dont spend much after all.
