Can you guys stop creating channels for me to mute??? Lol

Lol

That’s above my pay grade. And discord knowledge grade.

Third

I was the one that began the conversation to spark the creation of this channel peasants

Should we continue on the religion topic or talk philosophy throughout history?

I’ll kick this off daosim and it’s implications in our society today

Tao te ching?

I can't understand a lot of it, very abstract.

Am *vaguely* a daoist

Basically balance and harmony

Tao te Ching is one of the more major works, but there’s several others that are important as well

I tend to see a connection between true anarchy and daoism

In true anarchy there is a balance that occurs naturally and really affirms balance as mentioned in the natural order of the world

I can understand that connection

I think there’s a lot of people that aren’t *daoists* but essentially live that life. Some of whom might even claim other religions

Letters from a Stoic

Which one?

Marcus Aurelius?

tits or ass?

Balance and harmony

IE, medium both is better

correct

you are a smart man crye

I’m sitting on my front porch smoking a hand rolled robusto and drinking mediocre small batch bourbon, it’s philosophy hours

Damn the marines found the channel

The philosopher you should look for lived for the phrase carpe diem

He loved sex

🤣🤣🤣🤣

@MrCaviar Letters from a Stoic is Seneca. Meditations is by Aurelius

???

You asked earlier if Letter from a Stoic was by Aurelius

Was minorthreat

Epictetus is good too as far as the stoics.

Marcus Aurelius was good. Alot of focus on death and living for life.i actually have a stoic coin with one of his quotes on it that i carry with me everyday

Someone follows the Daily Stoic

Would Y2K really have. Been that bad ?

Yes

Compared to now?

Your talking about a world meltdown.

The failing of computers entirely.

At least that's what people were trying to predict.

A n d ?

Anyone interested in joining a think tank I have going, ping me.

What’s it regarding @johnnyConrad

All kinds of things. But they are all liberty driven. You are welcome to check it out, and if not for you, just leave. No hard feelings.

Sounds good

existentialism is hitting me hard. shit sucks.

@Crye_Salesman did you get out in the think tank?

Interested

@Greybeard send me a dm and I will drop the invite

@johnnyConrad hook me up with that thinktank fam

@PetroleumCanary dm me

We will be the ones to usher in a new age of America, but saddly, I doubt many of, if any, of us will get to see it. How do you guys feel knowing you'll likely not get to experience the freedoms you fought so dearly for?

So be it, an ideal for all of us is worth far more than my own life.

It's something i think about almost every day..it's not so much a matter of "will" i die as it is a "how long will i be able to last" kinda thing..anyone truly planing on making a real stand has almost no hope in living to see the end result...my only fear is all of dying in vain..

@Cannibalistic69th so long as I'm assured my children can, I'm happy and ready to lay my life down for Liberty for them and others. Until I have that assurance, or until forced kicking and screaming off this more to coil, my fight hasn't even entered the dangerous phase

Is it bad that I quit caring about someone who constantly talks about wanting to kill themselves? I quit caring because they don’t seem to want a way out. They’re wallowing in their sadness and it’s fucking aggravating.

I wouldn’t care if they did it at this point.

Does that make me fucked up?

@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ depends on why. Ik my depression meds fucked me up worse than just being normally depressed

But I can see if it didnt come in waves and was more of a constant thing itd tire someone out

We can’t have a normal conversation.

I try to help her but it’s hard to help someone when they don’t seem to want it.

“Suicide is the only way out”

I can’t catch a fucking break.

One of her friends got on my ass because I didn’t text her for two days because I was finishing up some school work.

Well I'd just suggest professional help and that's all you can do

I’ve tried

She just says “it won’t help”

Cant expect to fix someone that clearly doesn't wanna be fixed.

I don’t think she wants a way out I swear

And her friend says I don’t care and got pissed because I told her she needed help.

I mean ... like I said it depends on how it ebbs and flows and shit. I know I can be in a deep slump for 5-6 days and come out of it for 2-3 months

For context: a girl got obsessed with me just because we talked a lot, and I wanted out of that “contract”

She was already depressed and I tried to help

She clung on to me

Because I tried to help

Because I cared

Tbh that sounds more borderline manipulation

I don’t even know

like she’d get real sad if I told her I wouldn’t text her for a while because I was doing something

It’s extremely fucked for me to say, as her friend told me, but she is fucked in the head.

Any professional is going to tell you that someone cant be your sole happiness and you've gotta find something else to do.

Even if it's just lie in bed and hide for a bit

Her friend is pissed and says that I should just quit since I can’t seem to help

Tell her to get whiskey drunk and listen to 70s country western?

That’s my coping mechanism

“I don’t choose to be this way”

That's what I do, I figure it's good as anything

Sure is

Sounds like she grew dependant and thats bad and its not wrong for you to feel exhausted by having to try and help the most you can do is listen and suggest help whatever medium they decide to use is up to them

@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ might I suggest sleeping with her sister?

@[LA] Zoomer Medi/k/ I have a cousin that’s the same way. He did some dumb shit and was an absolute shitbag to his ex who wants absolutely nothing to do with him and he’s obsessed with her, like creepy stalker obsessed. And he says all the time he wants to kill himself, and I talked to him when no one else would and he told me everything, and as much as I tried to help him, he never helped himself and just kept making himself depressed about it by looking at the 1500+ pictures of her on his phone. When someone constantly talks about it, it’s done for attention and nothing else.

It’s aggravating as shit
