Hmmm, you mean in trying to fix it?

yes trying to fix a system of interconnections is a nightmare

@Deleted User I used to be in your position. Found salvation in Taoism. Don't be biased, just check it out

I did an essay at university on Taoism.

taoism is a good philosophy

Yes I have stupid degree don't attack me.

it can at least bring you peace of mind

What was your conclusion?

Correct observation but ultimate unsatifactory to those who have analystical leanings. I.e. it works for peasents but once you get the western virus it is very, very hard to use unless you detach and become a mystic

I mean sure, but if the western rationalism fails to bring you a peace of mind, you have to resort to beliefs.

@Robin Thanks. I think I am just obsessed with working out a solution. There is none. But I want to try because I somehow feel invested in others and want to help them. A big weakness on mine.

Or just be a goddamn nihilist after saying Fuck it, I found these were the only ways ahead of me

i know exactly how you feel and ive fallen into incredible depressions because of it

one does not simply become a nihilist

Ah believe me, when you're in the middle of this clusterfuck of ideas and realize nothing relates, it becomes fairly easy

Luckily I'm not one though

tempararily

a deeply feeling person doesnt switch off

personality traits are not easily changed

hi

hello

Hmmm, at what point does nothing relate? I think this is relativism. And I don't mean that is some silly academic shut down, but when you throw up your arms and say 'everything is the same let's have fun'. That kind of thinking does not end well. At some time you have to decide where you are.

ive tried to shut out the world and sometimes i think ive come very close but it never lasts

i get very frustrated caring so much

you could try KYS

Me too. I try to talk to people a lot. Sometimes I just get so angry that I cannot communicate anything and just quit. But I always come back. I really shouldn't. The current society does not value interaction. I have to suffer a lot of wasted opportunity elsewhere, especially in being a normal person who does XYZ and makes life easy for themselves.

occasionally you have to check out

What's your relationship with narcotics, my dear friends?

If you are really struggling, cannabis and some others might help, besides the meme part of it

im straight laced

occasionally like once a year ill have a beer or two

Occasionally, like once a year ill have a spliff or two. The rest of the year I drink beer.

i smoked a little when i was in colorado other wise i dont i live in a state with one of the harshes marijuana laws

I am not much of a smoker but I can say it provides a certain type of clarity, also its soothing

im less tense when ive smoked

my life is very stressfull

For me, I cannot do anything part-time. When I studied Marx I did 2 years degree in 2 weeks. Now I need a break and drink beer as a career. Soon I will do something else. I used to be a Fascist. AMA.

i was once a member of the ycl

That's very noble. I was thinking of such activities. What is your experience?

in college i was a member of the young communist league i organized rallies and sit ins and i volunteered at an anarchist collective but things were very different back then
