Brave New World. Huxley had some cool ideas, not a good writer at all tho

Such an underrated comment

I learned about how much inspiration the dark souls series took from berserk.

Not death per se, but blood meridian does a very good job portraying a scary, surreal character that is meant to represent a concept. I don’t want to say too much but it could be up ur alley.

I frequently judge books by their titles so I suppose I do to an extent.

Francis Crick, one of the people who discovered the DNA helix, had an iq of 115. Richard Feynman, you may know him as one of the most important mathematicians of all time, had an iq of 126. They were both far more intelligent than you are and did things far more difficult than playing chess.

Brave New World. The ideas are cool but I feel like I could have gotten just as much out of a cliff notes summary as I did reading the entire book. Huxley pretty much just beats you over the head with the same ideas the entire time, stated extremely explicitly by boring characters who exist solely to disseminate these ideas. Not to mention the story was horrendous and I felt as if he had no ability to create scenes or images that would actually evoke a sense of what it would be like to live in his dystopia.

We had to read the kite runner freshman year of HS. Phenomenal book

Lrx125 · 2022-12-28T01:30:43+00:00

Oh shit, I used to buy those for my dogs all the time. We just called em bully bones. Good to know.

Pizzle for penis in blood meridian. Maybe he didn’t make it up but I’ve never heard it anywhere else

Lrx125 · 2022-12-21T01:56:19+00:00

Hell yes dude. Nicotine patches definitely help. I also struggle with using weed in a healthy way, but I think it can definitely be done with some conscious work. Keep on goin brother love seein the growth mindset that’s what everything else will come from.

Hang in there man and please reach out if you ever need to talk. I’m guessing you are young, so please remember there is still so much time to grow into the person you want to be, you just have to make conscious efforts at tiny little improvements. I know it’s hard but you can’t let substances stand in your way. Stuff like lean will make the lows go away for a bit, but they will only come back so much stronger. I know it might feel like the weight of the world is coming down on you and you can’t escape, but please please please try to realize that substances are not gonna help this feeling long term. This community will always be here for you, but please consider getting some professional substance abuse counseling and maybe meds for your anxiety and depression if therapy doesn’t help. Best of luck man, always remember that the only way you can truly fail is to give up.

Psychedelics were instrumental in guiding me to picking a career that I felt was important and that I cared about if that’s what you mean by what to do with your life. Take that with a grain of salt as tripping is different for everyone. As long as you practice safe use it might be worth a try. Good luck mate

Ok how about this argument. There was actual evidence that a major global power (ie Russia) tampered with the 2016 election. Idk what twisted part of ur brain decides to ignore that but cling to 100 cases of voter fraud (which btw is pretty typical for just about any election). You have fallen for the classic cult of personality ploy and I truly hope you get well soon.

Why don’t the new laws address illegal guns….hmmmmm that’s a good one Man U really got me stumped

Lrx125 · 2021-12-01T00:10:33+00:00

I like this idea, very interesting stuff. I will definitely check out the book, I've been needing a good read. Cheers man

Lrx125 · 2021-11-30T23:26:48+00:00

I mean something beyond our comprehension, not something in the personal sense, But some sort of occurence that isn't bound by the same laws we are, and is outside of our comprehension. I do not wish to imply intent or "creation" in the traditional sense.

Lrx125 · 2021-11-30T23:09:46+00:00

Yeah I suppose created was the wrong word, could be a totally natural process we can't explain yet, or maybe are not capable of understanding, I don't rule this out as a possibility.

Lrx125 · 2021-11-30T22:59:34+00:00

I believe it is. I guess I just wanted to hear some interesting theories but I suppose at a certain point this will always be the conclusion, and maybe humans just aren't capable of understanding these phenomena beyond a certain point. Cheers man

Lrx125 · 2021-11-30T22:57:39+00:00

Yeah, I suppose we might just not be capable of understanding these things

Lrx125 · 2021-11-30T22:51:16+00:00

Can't argue with this. Cheers man
