i look up to the monks of old like St Symeon who stood on the pillar

i think that was him

I'm greatly influenced by buddhism, stoicism and minimalism

Excellent lifestyle

yeah. i read Siddhartha last year, had a big impact

stoicism is cool

child people everywhere

The novel by Hermann Hesse?

yeah

Have you read der Steppenwolf?

not yet desu

It's about a loner/MGTOW type of person

The fuck is ascetism? Every time I come in here there's a new lifestyle

Recommend it.

Stoner by John Williams too

/lit/ charts

When I was in a rough spot it was the only thing I had by my side

oh wait are you referencing 4chan

ill get it this weekend

Ascetism isn't new

It's like the oldest "lifestyle"

lol

Ugh, fucking kill me. I just got out of my Economics class and had to listen to listen to two dumb bimbos try and argue for communism to a very capitalist economics teacher.

Unsurprisingly, they made themselves look stupid.

Oh I mean I asked what it was

Basically denying yourself pleasure.

Good cure for a hedonistic mind

Ah I see thanks

@[chase dreams] I feel your pain man

my school is full of retards

@[chase dreams] Woah. You're in a class, especially economics and your teacher isn't a fascist liberal SJW PC douche?

Yeah that’s a good way to put it @hel

One of my professors thinks I am a socialist

@shababat lol. Yeah. My economics teacher talks shit on Bernie Sanders a lot.

She’s incredibly wrong

@[chase dreams] niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

I’ve never been a fan of hedonism. No drugs, alcohol, or sex even when I dated in high school and college. I go to bed early, read, etc. I’m a shit student but that’s just my apathy. No partying either

@[chase dreams] Good, please punch the bimbos who want communism in their tits, but wear a mask so you don't get hit by the "Pound MeToo" movement!

Not even a religious thing lol. im a rationalist in the tradition of Spinoza, but I also don’t really know

Everything Kaczynski wrote in Industrial Society and Its Future is 100% correct. Download his manifesto and read it, my man

this is how the conversation between the teacher and bimbo number 1 went down:

B1:"What they're doing is morally wrong!"
Teacher: "Okay, and...?"
B1: "Stopping them from doing that is the right thing to do!"

***violently pukes***
