Why would you want to wear a suit prozak
I guess two questions really
One is why not find a cheap way to get one now if that's what you want
Secondly why want it
Once I stopped desiring herd approval I instantly valued entirely different clothing
I have no desire to wear fragile, expensive, movement restricting clothing that is not good for walking, work or exercise, and I do not like the aesthetic of tightly fit with clean lines
Also I do not like the lack of storage
I cannot think of even one reason to like suits except to impress the other monkeys or nostalgia for muh 1950s
1950s nostalgia is a stupid reason to wear suits anyway. "Everyone wore suits and society was functional, surely their wearing of suits was an important element of this. If they had otherwise done everything the same but wore togas instead, their society would have crumbled"
suits are not for herd approval. Also, sometimes the herd approves of things that are cultured and classy, even if they also agree with decandence and filth.
people in saner times, also wore suits. We should endeaver to restore some of these symbolic gestures
Why
Also why are only suits classy
respectability
Explain why a suit is automatically more respectable than a toga
of your peers. When we go to conferences we dress, because it is a sign of good etiquette
these are signs of being civilized
What does that mean
Pretend I am a space alien and all I see is humans wearing cloth. Why is the cloth arrangement you call a suit something to favor
How is this different than a Congo nigger explaining why it's objectively respectable to have a large lip plate
well. I don't have a very good description, but lets compare this line of thinking to the difference in achitectural standards from pre 19th century to post 19th century
No that's an appeal to past history
Explain why right now I should care
to get a job
dressing and acting in certain ways are the way that we express a sense of culture and civility
job/contracts/clients
the same as we want to build things a certain way
How is that not exactly to impress the herd
it's a way of presenting ourselves
I don't mind if it does impress the herd
that means we have a good herd
wait
because I am also impressed by it, and if they too are, then they have my respect
at least in that regard
"suits are good because they impress good people, I can tell they are good because they are impressed by suits"
that is circular reasoning
suits are good because they are good
I didn't say this, I'm sure the herd has bad taste in many things, and good taste in other things
so suits impress you because of their history of association with things you like and are impressed by
haha, no
so what if a guy is muscular, intelligent and heroic, he has a body like Arnold in his prime and he has six billion dollars and owns basically everything, and he wears only togas
