I'm a 48 year old robot who made good. I have social anxiety and clinical depression (which does not respond to either therapy or medication), I'm fat, I'm ugly, I'm opinionated, and I'm loud. But I also escaped my bedroom and accomplished some pretty amazing things. I've run for public office, hosted two radio shows, been professionally published, been on the cover of every newspaper in the country -- multiple times -- and there's a Wikipedia article about me.

Ask me anything, fellow rowboats, and I'll help you if I can. Every single one of you has the strength within you to rise above your biology, to get up off your knees and carve out a place for yourself in the world.

And yes I think Canada has the same laws as Britain for the most part, though I could be wrong, you all could be alot more freer than they are.

I'm asexual, but I'm old enough that Queer Theory was in its infancy when I was young and I didn't know what asexuality was. I just thought I was a freak because I wasn't interested in sex, so I had a succession of girlfriends, all of whom eventually dumped me when they realized I wasn't going to fuck them and physical contact with them made my skin crawl.
>>
>>28408131
It's not so much that I dealt with it, but that I learned to live with it. Every time the mic went live in the studio, for example, my hands would tremble and I'd be covered in sweat. It never went away no matter how many show I did. I just learned to recognize that no matter how fearful and anxious I became, I'd live. Fear is just another feeling like any other. You can learn to live with it and do the things you want to, even when you're pissing-your-pants freaked out. And it gets easier and easier every time. Eventually you stop even noticing it until someone points out that you've left a puddle of sweat on the studio mixing board where your elbow was resting.

I'm an anarchist. There really isn't any difference between any of the politicians; they're all neo-liberals and serve the same billionaire corporate masters. US politics won't change whether it's Trump or Bernie figureheading things.

And I'm not afraid of the State. I'm a very well known shit-disturber. My greatest claim to fame was getting literally thrown out of prison for organizing the other inmates to fight for better conditions. I once found a bug in my apartment, and I was followed everywhere I went when I was at the top of my game.

Did you find that this ever had an impact on your voice? I accept that I will always be nervous, what I truly fear is appearing to be nervous. My voice often quavers--it sounds quite pathetic.

>>28408286
In the beginning, sure, but there's truth to the adage "fake it 'til you make it." If you do it long enough, you start sounding confident. I also have the advantage that my father and I both stutter (not the s-s-s-s-stuttering kind, but the kind where the word just won't come out), so I learned early to think about what I'm about to say, and to avoid dropping "ums" and "uhs" when I'm stuck. It's better to be silent and look pensive than to fill the air with nervous mouth noises. I could upload one of my old shows somewhere if you're really that curious, but it was a political talk show and you probably wouldn't find it particularly interesting.

They stopped following you around (as far as you know), then?

Also, how did you find out they were following you? Were they just really shitty at keeping it a secret or did you already suspect they would start spying on you?
>>
>>28408346
Nah, it doesn't take much courage. That's kind of my point. People get afraid and anxious about things and then back off. I'm willing to out myself on 4chan not because I'm unaware of the risks or because I'm some kind of fearless superhero, but because I made an existential choice many years ago not to let my fear stop me from doing the things I want to do.

In this case, I think I can help some folks, so it's important that I be willing to stand behind my words so people know I'm not just lying or shitposting. I'm willing to deal with the relatively small risks involved in outing myself.

There's not a single person here who can't do the same. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that most of you are better looking and more talented than I am, and would have an easier time than I did if you could find the courage to raise your freak flag and let it flight high. Just thing of how proud you'll feel when you sit back at the end of everything and recognize all the challenges you overcame, how every time you were knocked down you climbed right back up again.

Yes, I do agree, all the parties are shit imo as well. Probably the least shittiest out of all of your groups would be Harper but he favors Israel more than Canada hence why he spends most of government spending on them. However he does give stability.

The other faggots want to ruin your country completely by sending in illegal immigrants that have no background checks, oh and also the multiculturalism and tolerance crap as well. If it were the NDP guy it would be even worse because they're commies.

I voted for Trump because I thought him not being controlled by shekelmasters would make him basically incorrigible as he would be doing either the right thing for the country or his own way of dealing with it. Bernie would destroy the country with all the useless regulations and government programs..

Regulations aren't a good thing if you want happiness, especially too much of it which the leftists try to force on people. As happiness is only given to you if you have all the freedom to world to find it.

From what I've read about you, it seems you don't take shit from assholes, which I do admire btw.

Hello Andrew Nellis!
Thoughts on Creepy Susie?
>>
>>28408386
Sure. There's a pedestrian underpass in Ottawa where poor people used to hang out. It was an embarassment to the city because it's kitty-corner from Parliament Hill and tourists saw scruffy-looking people with tattoos. So one day, when one of our members was murdered down there, they used it as an excuse to put up a fence and kick everyone out of public space. (Some guy started pissing near the kid's head while he was sleeping. The kid, Cactus, got up and swung his squeegee at the man, who drew a knife and stabbed him in the heart.) We filed a million dollar lawsuit against the city to force them to take down the fence, and that night I went down with a pair of bolt cutters to cut the lock off the gate. The idea was to replace the lock with one of our own and then throw copies of the key into the crowd the next day so everyone had access to this public space. In disclosure in court, later, we discovered that the police had a plant in our organization and they were waiting for me with a surveillance team.

I was arrested and faced up to 12 years in prison. The cops were very happy to get me because I also organized the local copwatch program. They tried to give me bail conditions which would have put me under curfew and banned me from the entire city.

My lawyer warned me that if I refused the bail conditions I'd spend the next two years in prison waiting for trial, but I knew I could organize anywhere so I told them to go pound sand.

Now think about this. I'm a grassroots community organizer with 25 years of experience organizing on the street. They thought they were punishing me by throwing me into a room with 40 angry, bored, cop-hating criminals with absolutely nothing to do all day but sit and listen to me. First thing I did was recruit the range boss and, with his help, got every person in the pod to sign a contract agreeing to riot if they tried to separate individuals so they had to deal with us as a group. We showed the contract to the guards, then I used my media contacts to get us a front page story on the shitty conditions inside. They sent the deputy warden down to make peace and give us whatever we wanted to keep us quiet.

Five days after they put me inside, they dragged me back into court, told the judge they didn't want me in prison, and released me on bail with *no* conditions so I couldn't refuse them. I didn't even have the "keep the peace and be of good behaviour" boilerplate.

I beat the charges two years later by challenging them on constitutional grounds. Rather than risk me setting a precedent, they just dropped them.

As for the bug, one day my doorknob broke so I called the landlord to fix it. I asked him to fix the metal stripping under the door while he was there, since it kept catching on the bottom of the door. He handed me a little square thingie which turned out to be a bug and said, "I have no idea what this is, but it was under your door." I never did find out who planted it, but the local police loathed me. See pic related: it's a poster which went up all over the city which we think was put up by the police under cover of darkness. (The guy smiling behind me is the mayor, who also hated me.)

Yes. It took a while, but eventually the heat died down. Things got bad for a while after some comrades of mine burned down a bank and another used his temp job in the government to leak some sensitive information to the media. They had spooks planted everywhere. Thing is, there's always two types of spooks: the ones you're supposed to see and the ones you're not. They always salt some obvious plants in which you're supposed to see, as camouflage for the ones who are so good that they're usually the very last ones anyone would suspect.

But even without any of the skullduggery, I always had to watch my back because the cops would follow me down the street. I couldn't allow myself to be caught anywhere out of the public eye at night, for example. And the cops used to tell drug dealers that I "created heat" on the street and they'd be better off if I just disappeared. Fortunately I'd made a lot of allies on the street by running the copwatch program, so they'd just let me know what the cops were saying.

So you're telling me that you ignore truth, essentially? Because, actually, most of the 1%ers are Jews, they are trying to fuck the world up, and gommunism has failed... Numerous times in history. As well as multiculturalism and tolerance, as with what happened with Sweden, and what is about to happen with Canada.

Don't let them deflect you from the real issues. Why do you suppose people are flooding to the West? It's because their own homes have been devastated by 30 years of neo-liberal oppression and the only place they can have a future for their families is here. Of course, that's not to anyone's advantage, ours or theirs; their doctors, engineers, and scientists flee the places where they're needed, and then come and take jobs away from our own people, driving down wages.

Migrants are not the villains, though, anon. They're victims. The real villains are the billionaire sociopaths who have enslaved the entire planet, turning people against each other so that no one will have the werewithal to hang the bankers and stockbrokers from the lamp standards.

you should vote libertarian. anarchism is kinda shit so you might as well go with the only third party that is actually anti establishment and that actually has a chance of getting federally funded. especially this year since people will be flocking to third parties come November since the two front runners are the two most hated. Sure their candidate won't win but if they got federally funded they could get a lot more recognition. But I think you live in Canada so it doesn't really matter.

My advice is to simply remain silent. There are some tricks you can use to sound thoughtful and authoritative rather than nervous. For example, the natural tendency is for people to raise their voice as they talk. Instead, make a conscious effort to speak quieter and quieter, forcing people to lean foward and pay close attention without realizing it; when you pause, they'll be too rapt in what you're saying to interrupt you, and will take your silence as you thinking deeply rather than spilling your spaghetti. Trust me on this, it works great. I use it during interviews and on the air all the time.

mass immigration is fucking retarded. I don't think they're all the problem or anything and I think a good amount of them are genuinely good people.

I could (and probably will) write an entire book answering that question, but the most important thing for you to understand is that humans understand the world through narrative. That is, we tell stories as a way of grasping things. If you try to make someone a villain in their own narrative, it will NEVER succeed. The only way to change someone's mind is to construct a narrative in which they get to be the hero by doing what you want them to do. Many, many times in my career I've been forced to shake hands with the devil and smile across the table at evil, sociopathic, capitalist scumbags I'd just as soon gut with a boning knife. You do whatever you have to do to win, and if that means sucking a little cock, then you tickle the balls and swallow with a smile.

Never overestimate the police. If you look at pictures of me, there's a reason I dress like a bum; the police are utterly classist and regard anyone poor as stupid. It gives me a HUGE advantage when they regard me as an idiot. No matter how many times I beat them, they can't believe it's happened. All they see is my big shaggy beard and grubby clothes and figure I'm a moron. It's not 100%, of course, and there are dangerously smart cops too, but they're very rare -- and as often as not, they tended to be on my side, feeding me information from inside the department.

No, I didn't. I've been banned from Wikipedia for many years. A Wikipedia admin hostile to my politics declared that some random person from my city was my sockpuppet (or I was his) and banned me. The first time he did it he was caught and forced to rescind it. He just waited for a year and then did it again when people's attention had wandered.

And if you look at the history of that article, you can see it's been a war-zone for years. In fact, the police got caught vandalizing the article from one of their computers and ended up having to give a "no comment" when the media asked them about it.

Yes, self-sabotage is the hardest challenge I've faced too. I won't lie to you and tell you it hasn't happened; it STILL happens. Somewhere in the back of your head, you will always have the feeling that you don't deserve what you have. I've never found any way to avoid occasionally throwing a wrench into my life. Wish I could tell you otherwise. All I can say is that you have to be prepared to get back up on the horse again when you fall off. Don't let failure keep you down. Recognize your failure, let it teach you its lessons, and then have the courage to stand up again and keep going.

And just incidentally, you should capitalize Libertarian if you're talking about the Libertarian Party, because they are absolutely NOT libertarian. I'm a mutualist anarchist. Mutualism was described first by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon ("Property is theft."), and the word "libertarian" was first coined to describe Proudhon, who would have cheerfully beaten Ayn Rand to death with a clawhammer while singing the Marseillaise. The Libertarian Party are minarchists who simply believe that the coercive powers of the State should be given to the capitalists instead.

But most of this will fall on deaf ears. People aren't willing to shed the things fed to them by their 'masters' etc.

It might be better to just broadcast your experiences, like you did with the court case/prison experience, because I don't think it matters what a person believes, but when they're in a situation like you were in and can recall your story and methods, people would be hard pressed to resist defending themselves trying what you did.

The golden age of Islam marked an era of liberal openness and tolerance. The greatest Muslim poet of the age, Abu Nuwass, wrote homoerotic poetry, for example. The Islamic Empire was the centre of all learning on the planet for 500 years while the Europeans were burning each other at the stake.

What happened is Western imperialism which methodically exterminated every enlightened faction of Islam until only the most ruthless, warlike, aggressive factions remained.

WRONNNNGGG.

It is traditionally said to have ended with the collapse of the Abbasid Caliphate with the Mongol invasions and the Sack of Baghdad in 1258,[6] though several contemporary scholars place the end of the Islamic Golden Age around the 15th to 16th centuries.[1][2][3]

Sarton says that until the sixteenth century, developments in science were taking place both in the East and the West, but after that time Western science began to grow at an accelerated pace, while Eastern civilization remained at a standstill, or even deteriorated. He concludes that the essential difference between East and West is that the latter overcame scholasticism, while the former did not.

Do you know why they have huge families? It's because unless you have lots of children, you'll starve to death when you get old. In the industrialized world, population levels drop every single time once the welfare state is established and people no longer need to poop out 20 sprogs as insurance against dying in old age or disability.

Are you aware that all this "aid money" you seem to think is being lavished on developing nations is actually used as a weapon? For example, the US notoriously dumps huge amounts of surplus grain as "aid" in the developing world, driving local farmers out of business, who are then forced to sell their land to big agri-corporations.

The most important thing to learn is never to be ashamed. Ever. Even if someone has lied about you, you have to be absolutely brazen. The media has called me everything from an organized crime extortionist to mentally ill over the years, and I've had to learn how to take it all without blinking. There's a whole chapter about me, for example, in the book "How the Granola-Crunching, Tree-Hugging Thug Huggers Are Wrecking Our Country!" As you can imagine, it's not flattering.

What helps is constantly reminding yourself that you're fighting for something bigger than yourself. This means that you can't just be out for your own good. In order to be able to motivate yourself when things get hard, you should try to have a cause which is important to you in your heart, and in which you can take cover and find solace when everything is going to shit. Whether that cause is God or a political ideology or art or whatever doesn't really matter, as long as it's something bigger than yourself.

Okay but you have to understand though, Andrew, most of these people are Muslims who were cowards moreso than victims that fled their countries, when they could've fought their regimes. The "moderates" like watching the "extremists" do their little jihads. In other words, one kills innocents indirectly while the other one does it directly.

I am a proponent for immigration, however, just anti-Muslim legal handpicked immigration, people with useful occupations like physicians and like you said scientists and engineers would be beneficial.

I mean, if you had to import Muslims, a small number of them would be good, just don't overdose it like Cuckdeau because you'll start living in mediocrity because as you said, they take jobs away from the natives, driving down wages.

We should send them most of them back, establish their own countries, and then get rid of the shekelmasters behind the scenes.

Nope, to this day I still live with severe clinical depression. In fact, I'm having a depressive episode right this very minute. I've been mostly holed up in the basement here for the past week.

Give yourself the space to recover, then get right back in the game. You can't use it as an excuse to slack or to descend into an orgy of vidya and self-abuse; the SECOND you can push yourself back out of that bed, you do so -- and take on more than you think you can handle so that you're able to grow your capacity over time.

Thanks for the response. I'm neither ideological nor religious so I don't really have anything to anchor myself to, you know? And can I ask you something? You describe being "brazen" and that's exactly what I want to be--I want to live life the way I want to and really not give a shit about what people think of me. But when you read posts like this: >>28409831 how exactly do you feel? The ideal, brazen way I suppose would be to take it in stride and throw that opinion into your mental trash can, not even exhibiting a reaction. When I read that post my heart started beating faster and I just felt nervous. How do you overcome that? I want to not care, and I can overcome the mental aspect of not caring, but I just can't overcome the physical aspect of it, which then fucks up the mental aspect and leaves me at square one. How do you do it?

I should have been clearer. I wasn't referring to the end of the Islamic golden age, I was referring to, for example, the deliberate overthrow of democratic government in Iran and replacement with the Shah, with the result that militant and theocratic rule was the only faction strong enough to resist Western interference. You see the same thing over and over again, all around the world, from China to Guatemala.

You're so misguided, man. Not because immigration is correct, but you're so focused on one minor machination of the establishment out of the fear and rage you've inherited from propaganda.

These people, uneducated and as hateful as you are, are imported to be set up to be part of the underclass, just like you, and so long as you're both designed to hate each other, you'll both be working for lower and lower wages.

The primary use of the mass importing of highly religious citizens from war torn countries of your own making is they don't ask questions, they hate the native lower class and are willing to work under slave like conditions, just like you, because their hatred and segregation satiates them and you.

Also people who believe that paradise awaits after death don't mind working for beans for the same men who were in charge of carpet bombing their homeland - and that's only if they can get beyond their simple desires and access education or unity.

You can't even begin to approach the 'shekelmasters' level of operating when you're still playing a pawn game, like a pawn, againt your fellow pawns.

Most people everywhere are cowards. Migrants are neither better nor worse than anyone else. And I've met plenty of very decent Muslims, many of whom you'd probably find abhorrent. For example, I had a Sufi friend from Pakistan who was mujahadeen, and had been given an AK-47 for his 16th birthday. He said it was traditional in his village to get an AK-47 on their 16th birthday. He was out playing with it one day and saw a Soviet helicopter flying past. He fired at it for fun, not thinking it would do anything, and shot it down. He ran home and his parents shipped him off to Canada.

You'd probably regard him as suspicious and a potential terrorist, but we got along just fine. We even argued good-naturedly about religion. Hell, a lot of people regard *me* as a potential terrorist; aren't you worried arguing with me in this thread?

Seriously, people are only scary when you don't have personal experience. Get to know some muslims and I bet your opinion changes.

It's because you have that reaction that you've done what so many haven't been able to do this in this life.

It always makes me laugh that robots want to shed the joy and rawness of life. The entire reason you were able to do good for those homeless people and out-move police spooks is because you are driven by that rawness.

You don't belong here because you don't want to and haven't lost your life yet - a lot of people here turned to drugs and ideologies like that one guy in the thread banging on about jews to suppress the real, raw shit of life. People take refuge here in delusions of worshipping lovers, sex, drugs, etc, meanwhile you've been up to the realest shit like uniting men in prison and have spooks in enough of a titty twister that they turn their new age media manipulation machine against your dinky wikipedia page.

A lot of people in here probably dont even comprehend what you're about and what it means for all of us. What you did with the court system is akin to modern miracle work, not to suck your dick, tiny or not.

One can clearly tell that you've been raised differently than most of us here. This idea of constant growth and thinking bigger than yourself is simply not present in our generation. Most people here are completely disillusioned with life. We've been raised with absent fathers and the internet. My adolescence was one giant attempt to escape. I don't have any ambitions and goals. I have no willpower or discipline and I waste my whole life in front of a screen. The confusion that arises from constant media exposure was simply not present back then.

I'm not saying that your generation didn't have any issues, but I think our struggles are entirely different in nature.

I have one good friend here, Richard, who helps out all the time here (see pic). But there's a group of about 12-15 people who help out part-time and as their skills and schedule allows. There's no time limit; we work on it a bit at a time, as we get money and supplies.

This place acts as our union hall, but it's also a kind of museum and cultural centre to keep alive the hobo traditions and arts. It's named after Utah Phillips, who was a member of our union and one of the most famous and beloved folk singers of our time, a man who spent his life promoting the IWW and telling stories about the road.

Why would the opinion of some guy I don't even know on some anonymous message board matter to me? He can't hurt me. His opinion can't hurt me. Ultimately, anon, I think it comes down to explosure. As you can imagine, I've faced a COLOSSAL amount of ridicule, mockery, and outright abuse. The more often it happens to you, the less it matters each time. In fact, I often find myself doing Google vanity searches on myself just to see what obnoxious things people are saying about me. Check out the editorial about me in the Calgary Sun, for example. The way I think about it is, if people are taking the time and energy to slag me, it means I'm having an effect; the vast, vast majority of humanity spend their entire lives being inoffensive and bland, while I've clearly done things which inspire people to strong emotional reactions. And I find that flattering, even when the reaction is negative.

Honestly, anon, you should be more concerned when people are saying *nothing* about you, since that holds a rather nasty and tacit insult that you are boring, ineffectual, and beneath notice.

Andrew, I'm a /pol/ack, I'm anything but the establishment. And honestly the only news media I expose to myself is /pol/.

I'm not uneducated, I'm not hateful, I even told you I would want just a small number of Muslims, guaranteed if they would accept Western values. I'm just concerned about safety, that's all. If I was uneducated, how do you explain this image which proves my point?

Not all Islam is bad, just Shia and Sunni, which isn't depicted upon that graph, however it is the majority Islamic religion. And to continue the subject, if you allow the warmongering Islamic sects, like Shia and Sunni to come in, especially in large numbers, you're going to have a problem.. When you have Ibadi Muslims, they don't really pose a problem for example because all they did in history was trade along the Indian Ocean, not even bothering to jihad. But coming back to the subject, no matter how much you try to instill Western values on Sunnis and Shias, they will still listen to their own ways and disregard everything until the nation has turned Islamic. Which means no freedom under Sharia law, sad to say. This has been done in history, several times in fact... Actually the Crusaders had to fight them back because they were about to launch a full scale invasion onto Yurop since they didn't convert to Islam. It was a defense AGAINST Islam.

Also I'm not even a working lower class, you have me confused with a bluecollar worker. I'm middle class not lower class, I'll tell you that much. But I do sympathize with people of poor conditions, believe me.

Sunni and Shia Islam are very bad religions, I mean, the rapes and the killings in other lands, especially Yurop, pretty much proves this. Each time by a Shia or Sunni and for religious reasons.

You and I are on the same level, it's just that, you haven't really realized the whole scope of things. But then again, they're just opinions, I guess.

I wasn't born a fire-breathing anarchist revolutionary, robotfriend. I grew up in an abusive family and was kicked out in the street with nothing but the clothes on my back when I was 17 to, in my father's words, "root hog, or die." I've been homeless many, many times over the years. I've struggled all my life with both depression and anxiety. And certainly the kind of accomplishments I've had in my life is nothing like what most people would regard as success. The only difference between us is that at some point I decided that I wasn't going to let myself be limited; that I wasn't going to have my fate dictated to me by biology and genetics. You can do that too, anon. All it takes is a single existential manifestation of Will, a declaration that now, this minute, you will be different. That whatever happens, you accept the price, no matter how steep, as the cost of escaping a small, inoffensive, staid, and unchallenging life.

You're completely drugged up on the blue pill though, I see. You're a grunt fighting the grunts and the shrinking middle class are just as threatened by cheap labor as the lower.

The point that you missed completely is the ideological combat is a game set up to distract people like you from the source of the importing and creating of these displaced people, violent and backwards or not, but every time I try to wrench your head away from the gruntwork, you bury yourself back into it.

A great way to make sure your classes are suppressed is by having two or more opposing cultures control each other through ideological combat.

Stop judging yourself by the yardstick others use. You're a robot. You're NEVER going to be like other people. Stop trying. What you need to do is dare to start dreaming again and figure out what things are going to fulfill you as a person. Look at the resources you have available to you, where your skills lie, and then plot a path between where you are now and where you want to be. The rest is easy.

Lol. I'm afraid you're the one pigging out on the bluepill, my friend. Islam can never cooperate with Western society, it is impossible. The only way to end the ideological combat is to deport them.

There is no way out. You think they give a shit about working conditions? They could care LESS about how they are as workers. In fact, most of them are on welfare, they don't even WORK. Most of them just want to eradicate the West.

Hey, I agree with you, which is why I have the life that I do, but people are allowed to choose their own way to go to Hell. Let me give you an example.

My father has a sister, my aunt, who is notoriously stupid. We're talking dumb-as-a-post stupid here, borderline retarded. I remember going to her house once as a kid and having to show her how to make hamburgers. I put a slice of cheese on the burgers... and she flipped them. She was that dumb.

I used to get on her case all the time because she never wanted to discuss politics or philosophy or theology or any of the other stuff which interested me.

One day I got really annoyed and asked her why she kept changing the subject and wouldn't discuss anything of any importance. Her whole demeanour changes. Her eyes became frighteningly sharp and intelligent and she said, "I'm going to have this discussion with you once, and once only. We will NEVER discuss this again. Understand? NEVER. When I was young, I made the decision that all I wanted out of this life is comfort and happiness. I don't want fame or recognition or importance. I don't want to think about anything. All I want is to live my small life and die in obscurity."

And while I stared at her with my mouth open, her eyes became stupid and unfocused again, and she went back to meaningless small talk chatter.

I don't agree with her decision, but I respect that she wanted something very different than I do -- and she got it, and willingly paid the price for it.

>There is no way out. You think they give a shit about working conditions? They could care LESS about how they are as workers. In fact, most of them are on welfare, they don't even WORK. Most of them just want to eradicate the West.

That's what I was saying. Just like you want to eradicate them or get rid of them. You don't really seem to give a shit about what you're both being used for so long as you have a stage for your little blue pill day of the rope and the local Imam has a stage for his burqas for all demonstration.

For the record, I also think Islam is barbarism, but it's being utilized against you by forces bigger than it and bigger than your little /pol/ newspeak.

And it's right, Islam won't cooperate with the western society, but western society itself was hijacked from you long before the Muslims were imported.

The proof is in the pudding though. Operate your ideology and see how hopeless it will turn out. You cannot get rid of them by design, because you need to hate each other, meanwhile the 'jews' will continue to hijack society around you, drive down wages, worsen conditions, degrade education, corrupt societal trust and self responsibility etc while you and the local imam are batting each other.

First off, I was fresh to prison, but I'd done my research. I knew there was a good chance I'd spend time inside, given my career path, so I grilled everyone I knew about how it worked inside, who I would need to know, and how to stay alive and thrive. I had to know which unofficial rules could be bent, which could be broken, and which couldn't be touched without risk of getting shanked in my sleep.

I knew, for example, that there was no way to organize without the participation of the range boss. Fortunately, the first thing the range boss did was offer me a "gift" of fresh fruit and candy bars. Having done my research, I knew not to accept "gifts," so I declined politely, but let him know that I wasn't there to challenge him for his position. I explained that I was a community organizer, and that if he let me, I could get him a lot of stuff for his pod. There was a guy in the pod who vouched for me with the range boss; I'd confronted the cops while they were doing a questionably legal search on the guy, and he'd managed to slip away while they were distracted with me. He'd been holding a kilo of pot down his pants at the time, so he was happy to vouch for me.

Once I'd gotten the range boss on my side, it was just a matter of being entertaining enough to keep people's attention. I'm very good at giving speeches. I'd pace back and forth, pointing at the bars and saying that those bars were a prison, but that they weren't for keeping us in, they were for keeping THOSE bastards (pointing at the guards) OUT. That we were the ones who were truly free, while the guards were trapped in their roles, marching through life following orders and earning peanuts for being the State's enforcers. I can read a crowd, so I knew when to stop so my act never got old or boring.

With the range boss on my side, getting everyone to sign on was half inspiration and half tacit threat. No one wanted to be the only one not to participate.

I'm a mystic. Slightly different. In the Aristotlian model, there are three ways of obtaining knowledge: empiricism, rationalism, and revelation. The application of pure empiricism is science; the application of pure rationalism is philosophy; and the application of pure revelation is mysticism. It's the use and recognition of the non-conscious part of the mind for problem-solving and understanding oneself and how things work.

So pray tell, faggot, how do you get rid of Muslims when they're raping you in the ass and you're completely ignoring them?

We are being used, yes, but quite the contrary from what you think, they want you to racemix. They don't want you to fight them.

And yes, they have hijacked it from us and are working through their little tool, the Muslim, to get rid of us.

Get rid of the tool, and they're rendered useless. You think that Muslims raping us while trying to find the true culprit is a good thing, its not. You're a fucking cuck if you think that.

The first step we have to do is actually get rid of most Muslims and then find out what's going on with the 1%er Jews.

I would LIKE to take that step first, because they are, as you said, "driving down wages", "worsening conditions", "degrading education", "corrupting societal trust" and "self responsibility".

Yes they are causing all those things either directly or indirectly.

I'm assuming you've never been to prison. The first thing which happens is you're processed. You're put in a room with a lot of other people, and then people start yelling thing like "PODS!" and everyone -- but you -- knows what to do. They just assume that everyone there has been there before. It will be scary and confusing. The important thing is know who NOT to ask for help. The only person who is allowed to address someone doing hard-time is another hard-timer. If anyone else tries to initiate conversdation, the hard-timer MUST hurt that person or lose face. Losing face while doing hard time can be a death sentence. You'll have to ask someone what's going on (don't ask the bulls; NEVER ask the bulls), but try to find someone young, without a lot of ink. It's not a guarantee, but it's your best chance.

"Processing" means being stripped, showering, and then bending over and lifting your sack for a guard who is looking for contraband. You'll be doing this in the middle of a room surrounded by bored guards, other prisoners, and bureaucrats walking back and forth with paperwork. Don't worry, you're not human at this point. There's no point in feeling embarassed, since as far they're concerned, you're just a thing, like a lamp or a chair.

Once you're processed, you're sent down to the pods. I didn't know it at the time, but I made quite an impression. I had thought it was normal for everyone to be a the bars, faces pressed right up to them, but apparently word had gotten out that "a sasquatch" was being brought in. (My prison name was, of course, Sasquatch as a result.) I'm 6'5" and roughly the size and shape of a refrigerator, so everyone was worried that I might be dangerous. It's why the range boss offered me fruit and candy bars, to see whether I was angling to replace him.

Chances are good that you will be offered "gifts" and favours when you first arrive. If you accept, you will be in someone's debt and will have to pay them back later. This is how people get sucked into prison politics, and then are forced to join gangs to protect them. Politely decline all "gifts" and favours. Make sure they're aware that you appreciate the offer, and that it's nothing personal.

The range boss on my pod was actually a fairly reasonable guy. Completely sociopathic, of course, and could take a life without feeling hesitation or remorse, but not a needlessly violent psychopath. The violent, aggressive ones don't stay on top for long before getting replaced by someone smarter. I respected his intelligence and just put it to him straight. I told him I wasn't interested in taking his job, and that I wasn't going to get involved in the politics, but that I regarded myself as a political prisoner, had resources and assets outside to help me, and that if he was willing to listen, I could show him how to get all the stuff they needed. Like soap. (They'd been out of soap for weeks.)

Look how fast you're going to war with even me just for disagreeing with the fact you are desperately attracted to the grunt work you were forced into.

And ignore them? No. I see your programming is trying to set me up as your enemy because I disagree with being a grunt, so now you have to activate the cuck mechanism.

Defending yourself when the time comes is not incorrect, but focusing entirely on eradicating an enemy you cannot eradicate from your current position is a 'cuck's work. There's a reason that by design your struggle is unwinnable, dissenters like yourself are isolated into neat little camps of extremism and sent to fight the neat little camps of extremists in Islam while the average 'moderates' on both sides secretly hate each other - neither making any ground and both wasting energy on each other while these markers of greater society are eroded.

You can't seriously defend fighting a grunts war. Like a foot soldier telling me he honestly believes he can solve the war by emptying the enemy country.

Do you not think, lets say you found a button to erase all of Islam, do you not think another group of people would replace them as your enemy? Do you not see how the machinations of this work? Don't you realize that while west to islam relations have been going to shit, black and white have also been sabotaged? black and hispanic? Men vs woman?

It's a never ending fountain of ignited ideological combat that you cannot win by grunting it. See the difference you make by going after your blue pilled day of the rope, seriously. You'll get nowhere.

I actually ended up teaching him stillness exercises and meditation. Being range boss is a very stressful position, and he was skeptical at first until I showed him how it could leave him feeling refreshed and calm.

Once everyone in the dorm saw the range boss sitting on my bunk in lotus position with me, meditating, it became very easy to convince people I could do what I said I could do.

I also took the time to make a list of everyone's personal grievances, like not being able to get in touch with certain people outside or being screwed over with their lawyers, and so on, and figured out ways to fix their problems. Once they knew I was prepared to use my contacts to get shit done on the outside for them, they were all behind me and willing to stick their necks out. That's what "solidarity" means: each person is willing to stick their neck out for everyone else, an injury to one is an injury to all.

And once people start seeing positive results, you become *very* popular. There's so many bullshitters in prison that someone who is actually effective is priceless.

No, I don't think any other group would find any interest in fighting the West besides Islamic zealots.

Hard-timers have a look about them. They look... hard. Like stone. They also usually have a lot of prison ink on them. They're also usually older men. That's why my suggestion is to approach a young guy without ink. It's not an absolute guarantee that he's not a hard-timer but you have to ask someone, and that's the person least likely to be a hard-timer. If they know you're knew, they'll usually cut you some slack. For instance, I once addressed a hard-timer without realizing it and he turned his head away. I thought he was being rude, but someone quickly whispered into my ear that he was doing me a BIG favour by pretending he hadn't heard me, since he'd otherwise have had to hurt me. Badly.

"Bulls" (or sometimes "screws") are prison guards. You always address them as "boss." It become habit eventually. Cops know instantly that someone is an ex-con and likely to be on parole when they call them "boss."

And yes, I saw some people get fucked up, but it was always something avoidable they'd brought on themselves. You do not steal. You do not initiate conversation with hard-timers. You never talk to the bulls unless they ask you a question, and never in private if you can help it. Keep yourself, your cell, your clothes, your bed, and the common area clean. Don't sing, and especially don't whistle. And never, ever, ever, ever snitch. Someone beats you up? You fell. Someone took your stuff? You gave it to them. You NEVER snitch. Unless you want to die, badly.

You also need to stand up for yourself. They don't like aggressive people who cause trouble and instigate fights, but they dislike bitches and cowards even more. Be polite and try to get along, but if someone calls you out, you start throwing punches even if you get a beating for your trouble. Back down and you become EVERYONE'S bitch.

Nah, it's not. The nature of having that much wealth and resources available is you can create enemies out of much more than ideological opposites.

They can be made out of your family, your educators, your own nation's army, the nation next to your own, etc.

It's your desire to be radicalized against your taught enemy that's making you say that they only have one card to play.

They could begin importing native chinese or greater numbers of north african for the exact same shit, except with the chinese you'd have twice the trouble and even more sociopathy.

Also, protip, it's no coincidence that the alt left 'my wifes son' and alt right 'day of the rope' both reached critical mass/public view within a year of each other.

Andrew are you still responding? If so I have a few questions.

1. Are there any world views or ideas that you don't actually understand or properly realize until your getting pretty old at like 48 y.o. that a young guy like me just wouldn't get?

2. How true is the redpill? I'm pretty convinced in its infallability but I don't really have the life experience to verify it.

4. I know your asexual but are there any tricks on dealing with girls or people in general that get them to like you better? I'm a straight average looking 18 y/o white guy who can barely talk to a girl if its not about school.

5. Favorite anime?

The prison had been out of soap for weeks. They said they were "waiting for a shipment." They could have taken $5 and gone across the street for a few bars of soap, but why bother when they have a captive audience who can't do shit about it?

In the end, we forced them to go and get us some fucking soap. I don't know how they did it and we didn't care.

>>28411934
Don't forget, the first thing I did was get everyone in the pod to sign a contract agreeing to riot if they separated individuals. This was so they couldn't just pull the "troublemakers" (ie/ me) out and stop everything. We showed the contract to the guards so they either had to give in to our extremely reasonable demands ("give us some fucking soap") or face a full-scale riot and more bad press.

As an organizer, I teach people that they'll always be fighting people who are stronger, richer, and better armed, and that the key to getting what you want is to use both the carrot and the stick. You arrange things so that it's easier, cheaper, and less troublesome for them to give you what you want than to fight you. You never back them into a corner. As Julius Caesar said, "Build a golden bridge for a retreating enemy."

Or maybe you're not a robot at all. You sound more like a failed and later redeemed normalfag to me. The way you talk about social encounters and especially your time in prison makes it very hard to believe you have any sort of social problems. Most of the people here would get utterly fucked in prison, both figuratively and literally.

It's always the same though. People at their highest always like to think it was their doing that put them there and people at their lowest blame everyone but themselves for their misery.

The fact that you actually moved on is admirable, but most people here will probably never get to that point. Your advice just boils down to the usual "just do it bruh" and that's not helpful at all. It's a cop out. Nobody who stopped being a miserable fuck can explain how they did it. It all just boils down to personal experience and most of us will end up dying in mediocrity because of that. Your particular set of circumstances allowed you to move forward.

You can't just make your past regrets disappear. You can certainly try, but they won't just go away.

Maybe I'm just jealous because I will never achieve something like you. I will never be able to carve my own path and I will probably not even live as long as you do.

I hate myself for writing this.

The most depressing truth of all is that the advice of 'just do it bruh' is the only advice out there and the only advice that works.

Robots are just trapped in a cycle of:
A. It's not my fault, it's someone elses.
B. I'll do it some other time.

Both are false and the only cold answer is just do it, no one can save you and no one will save you.

I am. Hmmm, some good (and tough) questions. I'll try answer them, but it may take some time.

1) Each age has its strengths and weaknesses. I appreciate youth because they're too callow and inexperienced to know what's impossible. That is, young people often try things which have been done many times before, and which have never worked. But just because something has failed 99 times before doesn't mean it's going fail on the 100th. It's that willingness to make mistakes in complete ignorance which makes youth so strong; they often succeed because they try things other won't dare. Of course, that's also their weakness. Young people aren't experienced enough yet to see their own inexperience -- classic Dunning-Kruger in effect. That's why older people have the advantage in any fight, and why youth loses so often: old people have already made all the mistakes of youth and have (presumably) learned from them.

The other thing which seems like it should be obvious but which I assure you leaves people stunned and incredulous when I do organizer training is: fight to win. The world is filled with people who "fight the good fight," and then lose, whose only goal is to look good while being ineffectual. You do whatever it takes to win. If that means throwing molotovs and punching cops, then do it. But if it means sitting down at the table with scumbag capitalists and negotiating the best deal you can when you don't have the resources to win a knock-down brawl, then you shake hands with the devil and get what you can.

You need to understand that a lot of the people promulgating the "redpill" stuff aren't real organizers. They've either never had any actual battles, or they've lost them. That's not to say they're wrong about everything, but take what they say with a grain of salt and remember that the goal is fight to win -- and that their goals may not be yours.

If you're actually interested in this stuff, I highly recommend Saul Alinsky's _Rules for Radicals_. It was seminal for me, as if has been for a lot of community organizers.

While I'm asexual, I get hit on constantly by both men and women. The only "trick," if you call it that, is confidence. You need to be able to develop your own style to the extent that there's nothing people have to compare you against. I wear a fedora, a huge beard, lots of black, and a tactical vest. It's different enough to be unique, but not wacky enough to be kookish. People have to judge me on my own merits rather than comparing me to someone better looking. And because I carry off my look with confidence, people find it appealing. I'm hit on all the time by people friends regard as way out of my league. Stop trying to be a normie; neither one of us is ever going to succeed. Instead, focus on developing your own "look" which says something about you, and which makes you feel good about yourself.

And I don't watch anime as a general rule, but I enjoyed Foolie Coolie.

I was only there five days. They put me inside on a Thursday. By Monday they had me back in court, throwing me out of prison so I couldn't cause any more trouble. And no, I didn't have any real trouble. If anything, I found the people in prison to be a lot more pleasant and less judgemental than the general population. There was a Wiccan in our pod, for example, and while the christers weren't happy about it, no one bothered him. He did his thing, they did theirs, and the world went round and round.

Nothing has gone away. I still have social anxiety. I still live with constant, chronic, clinical depression. I still spill my spaghetti when I'm tired or not thinking straight, and then slap myself in the forehead when something dumb I say gets quoted in the newspaper. I'm anhedonic; I don't really know what "fun" refers to, and I don't think I ever have. And there are plenty of people, even other organizers, who think I am totally fucking nuts. I am destitute, fat, diabetic, in constant pain from peripheral neuropathy, and going slowly blind from pigmentary dispersion syndrome. Not exactly a rousing success by any conventional measure, but I'm satisfied with my life. I've done what I can with what I have and achieved a lot more than I ever thought was possible simply by refusing to let my limitations define me.

You can not only do everything I've done, but I'd bet my last dollar that you can do better. You're clearly intelligent, literate, and thoughtful. All the tools are there if you decide it's time to cinch up your girdle and put your foot on the world's throat.

First of all it depends what you consider your nation's 'true self'. Do all your natives agree on this? What time period and how do would you properly modernize it? How do we quantify what is manufactured by your foe and what is really organic and new?

All I can tell you, even though you're being sarcastic, is it's a better use of time looking for answers and being active about the above.

But I can also tell you focusing all your efforts on exterminating this decades fresh, new, shiny enemy will not unite your country. You can hardly restore and build/retake your government and countries finances and business dominance by going around killing muhammad and his friend achmed and posting on stormfront.

Wanna know why we're getting fucked so badly in Yurop? Because while Dave and John are posting jew memes on /pol/ and calling for race war now, mujad bought his second food restaurant and ahmed signed up to represent his local council to push his agenda.

B. Why aren't you doing it?
C. Self loathing because I didn't do it.

We are all alone in our struggles and no advice is going to change that. It doesn't even get better when you finally do it. Why even do it in the first place? Should I do it because people think I should? Should I do it because I expect more of myself? Do I even want to do it? I don't want to do anything to be quite honest.

Andrew, I am a 26 year old robot. My ultimate goal is to become immortal with medical technology, and explore space and time as technology advances into the centuries ahead.

Wild dream I know, but they said so about self driving cars and going to the moon.

However some problems arise with this goal:

1) Doubts that the technology will ever be achieved in my lifetime, so I will spend a pointless life preparing for nothing.

2) The wait in between, and the investment I would have to make in order to have a chance at achieving this (depending on how hard it is when I am 80 and near death)

Something nags at me - that if I were to have a good life... I wouldn't NEED to become immortal to take away the finites chances that life presents.

I could be young again. Travel back in time (with technology) and experience this century again, in a new body, experiencing the aspects of humanity in the 80s and 90s, I never had the chance to explore. Teenage sex, wonder, alphality, adventure - and in doing so fill the holes in my wisdom I never was able to fill.

I would make the world more just and perhaps a utopia for all.

Your farther ahead in life than I am... How should I approach this?

I've been grateful for the few experiences I have had with women, learning from others mistakes as much as I can. I am one of the most passionate and often overthinking people you may ever meet.

>How do you deal with the absurd?
I'm a mystic. Years ago I finally learned how to make peace with my female, intuitive side and let go of the rule of logic when necessary. When the absurd comes calling, it's usually a sign that you've invested too much into the male side of the psyche, have overreached your grasp and it's time to step back and allow the Tao to guide you for a while. The absurd is like a special sign crafted by the Universe to shock you into the immediacy of be-here-now.

And if you're really that suspicious that I am who I say I am, just call me. You have my name. Look me up in Canada411 and give me a call. Do you really think someone would lie about being a fat, hairy, fedora-wearing anarchist champion of hobo culture?

Esotericism, anon. The answers you're looking for are available if you're willing to look, but they can't be given to you. You have to find them for yourself, and they're hidden behind layers of meaining. Just remember that what you'll be doing is essentially open-brain surgery on yourself, and that your mind comes with protective defences. The same way your computer's operating system will give you increasingly alarming pop-ups when you starting trying to adjust critical factory settings ("Are you REALLY REALLY REALLY SURE you want to change this? It could PERMANENTLY prevent your OS from rebooting..."), exploring the deep mysteries will give you some decidedly odd and frightening experiences designed to dissuade you from looking any closer. If you really want to understand, you'll have to put your courage in the sticking place and press on.

Let me see if I can explain it through a practical example. I was sitting in a room with some fellow activists, and they were proposing that we picket Wal-Mart. I asked them what the goal line was. They looked confused and said, "Er... picketing Wal-Mart." Which is what I figured they'd say.

I had to explain to them that picketing is a *method*, not a goal. What usually happens in activist circles is, people develop a plan based around feeling good about themselves, like waving some picket signs at a random Wal-Mart store, until they run out of enthusiasm. Then they all go home feeling disempowered at having accomplished nothing but looking radical.

"Fight to win" means you never do anything without having a concrete, achievable goal as a finish line. You can never win if there's no concrete goal. All you're doing is pissing into the ocean. The idea that what you do must be directed at actually accomplishing something practical, no matter how small, is surprisingly surprising to people.

Try this. The next time someone suggests a course of action to you in pursuit of some goal, ask, "Will it work?"

You'd be amazed how often this question catches people flat-footed and flabbergasted. They'll expend all kinds of money, time, and resources on something they KNOW for an absolutely CERTAINTY cannot be effective.

Anonymity is a tool, anon.
Noospherically speaking, you're all non-existant, you're all shadows and incorporeal beings, when the identity of a person is revealed through the breaking of the anonymous wall, either be it a timestamp or any sort of inter-connection between the anonymous and the not-anonymous, the walls of this place crumble and the scorching sun dispells the shadows, revealing the unclean, the qualia, the sad and unwanted truth that everyone tries so hard to push away.
This is why i need a confirmation, a token of reality in this place where lost souls wander and clash at each other in the name of concepts whose place in the noosphere has been withered and hollow since a long time.
It doesn't matter if this "man" is really who or what he pretends to be, it doesn't matter if any of whatever he wrote is truth or falsities spewed to add entropy in to the system, it matters only one thing: the real being not-real.
I need this to live.

I mean he won the republican nomination purely because the majority of the people put his name on the ballot. Also while he isn't for small government really himself it'll become harder and harder to keep that an American ideal when the hordes of big government loving Mexicans & Central Americans start crossing the border when Clinton is president which is why I'm voting for Trump. If we want to stop or even just control the demographic change in our country I don't feel I'm being dramatic when I say this election is our last chance.

So how do you actually escape the bedroom? A little background on myself: I'm almost 27 and dropped out of college at 19 due to pretty bad depression and other stuff that happened. I've tried working jobs since then and even tried studying a trade, but I get horrible anxiety while working that I don't get anywhere else. I just have this horrible fear of fucking up and making my boss or people that depend on me mad or disappointed. On top of that, my dream is to write and have my stories published, but I feel sometimes that that's a crapshoot because I realize I'm terrible at it and get depressed that I can't improve. Got any tips for writing/getting your stuff published?

The classic one is speaking truth to power. You need many, many vicious betrayals at the hands of sociopaths before you understand that they are not like normal humans, and that the only way to stop them is force. They do not recognize mercy, compassion, or compromise. They regard it as a sign of weakness. They will do or say anything, like Lucy with the football, in order to keep you talking instead of fighting. It's only with hard-won cynicism born of long struggle and back-stabbing untrustworthiness that people overcome the natural primate tendency to trust. The young are constantly being fooled by the powerful into "sending a message" when they ought to be kicking some asses.

It's a vote for fear.

People are scared that the establishment doesn't have their best interests. Rampant corporate corruption and business malpractice has driven this change in US government since the 40's.

So what does the American public do?

Attempt to vote a corporatist in.

Really.

And no, I don't vote for bernie either. He's a fucking career politician.

Also the 'mexican problem' is a shell game, it's a distraction, the US has much, much greater problems than mexicans jumping over your fence, that go deeper into government and policy than illegal immigration but none of your shill candidates give a fuck.

Also hillary will win, save my post, shit's rigged. Bernie and Trump just exist to fan the fires of divide.

The important thing to remember is that there's a difference between "work" and "employment." I work pretty damned hard, anon, but I am very rarely employed, and poorly remunerated when I am. This is how Thoreau put it:

> "The community has no bribe that will tempt a wise man. You may raise money enough to tunnel a mountain, but you cannot raise money enough to hire a man who is minding his own business. An efficient and valuable man does what he can, whether the community pay him for it or not. The inefficient offer their inefficiency to the highest bidder, and are forever expecting to be put into office. One would suppose that they were rarely disappointed."

I do what I do because it's necessary, and because it's important, and because it fulfills me as a human being. I don't need to paid for it. You're feeling badly because you've equated being paid with being useful. In fact, the exact opposite is true: those who make the most money are the most useless. And those who do the most for our suffering species are not only not rewarded for it, they are often punished and mocked for it. If your heart is firm and you are pursuing something bigger than yourself, anon, you won't care that you're broke and lonely and anxious.

I couldn't give less of a shit about corporations. The major problem we have is the demographic shift that is being pushed by open-border leftist shitbags. This isn't theoretical economic nonsense, this is the music on the radio suddenly sounding a whole lot less white. This is your kids speaking differently than you do. This is #yolo and #swag becoming part of our mainstream culture and not something degenerate and shameful. Look at the past 20 years; you can see it in action. This is the forced extinction of the white race and white culture, and while Trump alone won't fix it, he's our last chance for a first step in the right direction.

Corporatists never have your interests in mind, but they are wonderful at selling you an idea that you don't have.

Also the president can't do jack shit about what's being fed into your country via the media, via radio, via education etc and through youth cultures and international culture via the net.

I can already tell you're in fear of your future and will grasp at any hope offered to you by anyone.

You'd be better off creating your own solutions at a community level and encouraging everyone to do the same instead of voting for these neocon shill candidates and further fucking yourself over.

You're thinking too hard and in the wrong way, anon. Male thinking is goal-directed, logical, and largely blind to everything except the specific thing at which it's pointed. It is a poor tool for understanding the Universe and our place in it. The female is holistic, spiritual, and intuitive. It can't be forced. It comes only through insight. As the Tao Te Ching puts it, "Know the male, yet keep to the female; receive the world in your arms and the Tao will never leave you." You should know logic and reason, but your own inner self should be female.

Part of getting old is having to make peace with your own mortality. It was especially difficult for me. Traumatic, even. It's quite possible that you have a different understanding because you didn't have to fight your way through successive layers of existential despair. I've always been spiritually stupid; the lessons I've learned have always cost me too much. If you're smarter than I am, it's possible your understanding is deeper than mine. I'm just trying to give people the benefit of what I've already paid for in hard coin. If you've got something better already, that's awesome.

So you're going to have to get creative. For example, I made a living for a few years writing custom erotica for fringe fetishists in the giantess, vore, living statue, and transformation communities. Was it ideal for an asexual? No, but I got to explore interesting psychological territory, hone my writing skills, and earn enough money to live at the same time.

I never understood this in a sense, i'm into my late 20's, perhaps it becomes a chemical impulse as my body dies but I've always been very at peace with the idea our universe could have no real meaning, no point but the abstract we develop ourselves and that things we do just 'are' because they 'are' and everything just is.

The fact I'm conscious right now is the only divine miracle I ever need to behold to feel mighty, I think.

Some of the divine new age stuff rubs me the wrong ways because of the way echelons of understanding are cast upon followers like in any other religion to unravel the universes purpose. The way we segment the understanding and the cycles of the universe, the way oneness is described, it's a very human abstract projected onto the mystery of the universe.

Like when I did shrooms and saw and had my perceptions disassembled, I could see how people could attribute this to higher understanding but really it was just my internal furniture being shuffled around by a foreign substance.

I just think seeking divine understanding is a lack of appreciation for what truly is, in a way.

I have my human problems but in my head I love being alive, I love the universe but I don't require it is alive or capable of love, it doesn't need to worship me in any projected human abstract or comfort me, I am just fine to be here, scientifically.

Lack of inherent meaning seems to drive half of us mad, though.
