I agree with your assertions about incels

2018-09-25 13:14:36 UTC  
2018-09-25 13:15:18 UTC  

I would say though based on common grievances between women, the system and incels and MGTOW. That line is definitely blurring due to a "common enemy"

2018-09-25 13:15:39 UTC  

But MGTOW proclaim self ownership in their actions and responses to their environment

2018-09-25 13:17:29 UTC  

Incels also have more extreme grievances, for example domestic violence and such. A True MGTOW would not do that by free will

2018-09-25 13:18:39 UTC  

Mgtow seek self actualization

2018-09-25 13:27:34 UTC  

mgtow too seek to be more realistic too. Some are stoic. I think some incels are hedonistic by nature

2018-09-25 13:28:11 UTC  

In terms of being comfortable within a self - imposed neurosis of rage. Often I find that incels will stay at home and play computer games. And writing on forums

2018-09-25 13:28:20 UTC  

I seek stoicism. love Marcus Aurelius and Seneca!

2018-09-25 13:28:31 UTC  

This could be hedonistic for them because cathartic behaviour is their pleasure

2018-09-25 13:28:38 UTC  

hence the incel minded neurosis

2018-09-25 13:28:59 UTC  

Marcus Aurelius and Seneca are the shit

2018-09-25 13:32:37 UTC  

Never heard of 'em

2018-09-25 13:36:41 UTC  

Whats wrong with hedonism?

2018-09-25 13:40:07 UTC  

Or rather, whats your objection to it, wrong doesnt really apply to philosophy.

2018-09-25 13:54:50 UTC  

Hedonism is just a gateway to complete emptiness. It's sure is fun in the short term but long term it creates a void that can never be filled

2018-09-25 13:55:47 UTC  
2018-09-25 13:56:20 UTC  

My ex was a hardcore hedonist. It ends with using drugs and throwing money out until you have nothing left then your 9 to 5 work and mental problems

2018-09-25 13:56:47 UTC  

Hedonism is fun short term and not longterm?

2018-09-25 13:57:03 UTC  

Worthy to mention that these people tend to always search a thrill which longterm cant give them

2018-09-25 13:57:04 UTC  

I think you got your philosophy mixed up there. Probably with cyreanics

2018-09-25 13:57:14 UTC  

which has also been called cyreanic hedonism

2018-09-25 13:57:31 UTC  

Hedonism Sounds Great if you know what ur doing

2018-09-25 13:58:01 UTC  

Hedonism is a school of thought that argues that the pursuit of pleasure and intrinsic goods are the primary or most important goals of human life. A hedonist strives to maximize net pleasure, but when having finally gained that pleasure, happiness remains stationary

2018-09-25 13:58:31 UTC  

In theory it sounds great, just like Communism

2018-09-25 13:58:45 UTC  

Well of course Pleasure and happiness are completely different things

2018-09-25 13:58:50 UTC  

But in reallife, it does not work.

2018-09-25 13:59:10 UTC  

Pleasure in that sense describes things such as satisfaction with your research, too

2018-09-25 13:59:39 UTC  

and net-pleasure is pleasure minus pain. So, a hedonist wouldnt be slobbing away on heroin knowing the pain it will eventualy bring

2018-09-25 14:00:02 UTC  

Pleasure is short term satisfaction, happines is long term satisfaction, imho

2018-09-25 14:00:35 UTC  

It Doesn't Work Because there is an imbalance in what your doing instead of what your sustaining

2018-09-25 14:00:36 UTC  

If your happiness is bound to something you have no control over, like it is often in reallife, it contradicts itself

2018-09-25 14:00:37 UTC  

I would argue happiness is overratef and solace is much better

2018-09-25 14:00:58 UTC  

Solace?

2018-09-25 14:01:50 UTC  

The fact that nothing lasts forever and all things are temporal in this world would lead two outcomes: Nihilistic Hedonism or Epicurian Aestheticism

2018-09-25 14:02:20 UTC  

How can hedonism be nihilistic?

2018-09-25 14:02:41 UTC  

Or, in what sense are you using the term nihilistic?

2018-09-25 14:02:43 UTC  

Because hedonism gives no purpose. And thus it has no meaning

2018-09-25 14:03:05 UTC  

it gives the purpose to strive towards net-pleasure

2018-09-25 14:03:10 UTC  

It has much more factors. Hedonism is either minimalistic or a freedom of choice. Freedom is often increased with wealth. And in most cases for wealth, you need longtermgoals

2018-09-25 14:03:11 UTC  

Valuing nothing nore than satisfaction leaves a sense of vacuity
