Just a brief little post on what I've been doing lately, and some thoughts.
The main change in my life has been that I've been going a lot more, and socializing more, and that's caused me to reflect on the nature of my online existence-- like most Zoomers, and really probably most adults these days, this is my primary form of social connection (as sad as that sounds).
Putting myself out there has made the online activities come across as less and less compelling and motivating-- online platforms are basically totally dominated by non-normies, which means specifically a kind of broken / mentally-ill type, in some cases a literal school shooter freak. These people are so deprived and anti-social that they only exist for the rush of spite that they get from antagonistic interactions: it provides them enough motivation not to kill themselves.
This has resulted in the kind of junkie-slop online media economy we have now, where everything is made in order to spike the addicts' increasingly hardened receptors, which are recalcitrant to activation-- notice how every subject covered (Palestine, Epstein, grooming gangs) winds up turning into a snuff film, where multiple different voyeuristic fetishes are mixed together for the online degenerates to snort up.
You can understand how this is demotivating to read or respond to.
It's also very refreshing to note that normal IRL people are the opposite of spiteful, vindictive, and warped-- not that there aren't assholes here or there, but the behavior is more open and cool compared to online-only interactions. I
think something about the nature of the Internet allows for a much more prolonged sense of hostility (I guess because there is no catharsis like there is for IRL confrontations). At this point I think that you should never communicate online with people you don't already know, and trust IRL.
The other interesting thing, which hasn't even been noticed in the discourse, is the massive shift in girls' behavior. Maybe this is more pronounced among Zoomers, and Millennials (who dominate Twitter) just don't notice it-- but basically, there has been a massive rebellion against birth control, meds, and other mood stabilizers over the past few years.
These days, and especially if you're handsome + well-dressed, your odds of being noticed and even approached by a girl are WAY HIGHER than they would have been 5-10 years ago. In fact, it's crazy how eager they are to interact with guys, talk to them, flirt, etc. It just doesn't take place in a transactional, mediated, or super-sexual way (as if you were sending them pics through some gay app), but the interest is there.
So I guess the goal going forward will be to write posts that a normal, functional, healthy, stable, non-institutionalized adult could appreciate. In terms of the false promises I have become famous for giving, one plan / idea is to start writing book reviews, inspired by this guy (ignore the GOPslop he gets paid to write, he covers some interesting / niche books). Obviously I won't be giving my formal assessment of them LOL, but I mean it in the sense of tangents / ideas which might inspire further discussion or strike readers as interesting. We'll see!
Another interesting direction I've been going in is... basically ignoring and disregarding everything that Millennials (and a decent chunk of insecure Zoomer bootlikers) stand for. Just dismissing their entire approach to the world, society, the opposite sex, life, etc. It seems to be working!
ReplyDeleteOne thing they all seem to have going on is the Defense Mechanism Personality: they spend so much time lying to themselves and everyone around them, that they can't even relate to reality as it is anymore (hence the constant state of irritation, rage, etc). And so they've replaced a real personality with a series of immature and pathetic coping mechanisms, which anyone with a brain can see through, but which they're not mature enough to survive without.
I guess it relates to the widespread tranny stuff: when your entire life is a lie, you can never really be 'at rest' and comfortable with your own self. It is an ever-evolving, ever-escalating, battle against reality (and 99% of the world that doesn't share your delusional self-view)... resulting in the self-harm, hatred, bitterness, etc.
The alternative to that is dropping the disguise, being open and honest and vulnerable, and not being a pretentious dork with delusions of grandeur who wants to turn everything into a gay argument.
I've also mentioned before the 'method of outcomes'-- basically, instead of going through the logical-verbal mumbo jumbo, just ask yourself if you would want to wind up like whoever it is that is giving advice to you, lecturing you, etc. And when you look at Millennials, they are infamous for being the most sexless, boring, shut-in group of people in all of world history. They act like not being capable of having fun is some kind of grand spiritual journey, as opposed to a further example of how pathetically lame they are (and always will be).
I'm also thinking of starting a book club, or something similar, but to discuss scientific / intellectual interests-- though maybe I'll wait until I've done a little bit of preparatory work, before giving my opinion on some of this stuff (I don't want to sound like a bullshit artist / conman, and pontificate about things I know nothing about).
ReplyDeleteHowever the goal would be to create something both normie-friendly and attractive to genuinely intelligent, creative, people. I also want it to be primarily IRL, though perhaps there could be an online version, or I could just republish stuff on here too.
(Again I'm not deluded enough to think we'd be 'discovering' anything, but the goal would just be to put some interesting discussions of niche subjects out there, compared to the usual slop on social media.)
I'm mainly interested in complexity, nonlinear dynamics, etc-- but I also like history, psychology, art, and all kinds of other unrelated things. So the topics would be fairly broad, and not require special training in order to appreciate.
As for the reading list, some interesting books on the agenda:
-Julian Jaynes, The Origin of Conciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind. Obviously a book I've heard a lot about, but have never read. An idea that has occured to me is that nerdiness can be traced back to civilization: we can imagine what the opposite of not being self-conscious is. Basically, being trapped in your own head, and painfully aware of yourself. So modern-day nerds are the grotesque outcome of the process of civilization.
I also wonder whether this accounts for artistic / scientific achievement in modern populations. The relevance for things like music, painting, etc is very obvious-- but perhaps a certain measure of this kind of 'wildness' or pre-modern mindset could also aid in scientific breakthroughs? Something to chew on, again it's all just speculation.
-Medieval history, mainly Spain / Iberia, as well as Russian-Mongol dynamics. Very interesting stuff, and unappreciated compared to the usual tedious slop about the Roman Empire.
Turchin mentions this stuff a lot in his meta-ethnic frontier theory. I buy the theory on an abstract level, but I also want to learn the specific facts, timelines, etc just to get a better grasp on it.
-Pattern-formation / complexity science. This is the more advanced stuff that I'm currently teaching myself, using some older books on Linear Algebra + Differential Equations.
Now that I'm picking up very interesting tools for advanced math models, rather than just relying on my intuition + verbal descriptions alone, I do want to eventually go into the climate stuff. Not necessarily out of seething zealotry, but just to see how much of what is said on the Internet corresponds to reality.
ReplyDeleteThe one thing I've heard from physics types over and over again is that the various models do not have very accurate feedback mechanisms, which is why they give back inaccurate results, or cannot accurately simulate previous eras, etc etc etc.
Also the whole subject just draws hysterical BS-vendors, which is why you see the sprawling list of doomsday predictions, apocalyptic blackpill fantasies... stop using science like a drug!
This is also what made me realize what a massive power-tripping fraud Rintrah was, as well as the other assorted bullshit artists-- this stuff requires studying differential equations, using vector fields / phase planes, etc. It's a dynamical system with multiple interacting parts. You can't just reduce it to 'study says this' or 'study says that' and dismiss the underlying process.
And yet that fagoolz, and everyone he cites within the circlejerk, doesn't seem to know any math beyond statistics. Nor have they studied or learned anything much about physics, or weather modeling in particular. And yet we're supposed to take everything they say seriously, or risk being called dumb normies-- never take advice on SCIENCE from people who... have literally never studied it (lol).
Finally, and for full disclosure for anyone wondering, yes I am a Zoomer and in my early 20s. In fact, a little bit shy of 23 (all the more reason to tune out from the outrage machine before it consumes me, I guess).
ReplyDeleteHowever I do come from an educated family-- the Spanish side has engineers, a math professor, etc. And on the American side it's similar: an architect, my grandfather was a biologist... both of my Gen-X parents are also teachers.
Also both my Greatest Gen great-grandparents went to college. I think that, since this occurred before the Great Credentialing, this is a good indicator for coming from a historically educated family.
So I can't say I'm descended from coal miners or what have you, as based as that would be. But this does explain why I don't sound like the avg. Zoomer.
I also realize that the entire subject of IQ, IQ scores, intelligence, etc has been so thoroughly tainted by social media midwits. What used to be cool and iconoclastic is now so gay and lame that anyone with a brain has to distance himself from it.
But...
I do score pretty highly on the tests I've taken. I don't have the patience for a full assessment, but the verbal ones (based on the SAT) usually put me at around 145-150 IQ.
(And no, I've never used AI to write anything.)
Anyways, just wanted to put this out there to do a little bit of bagging (I promise to never mention IQ again) and also to give some clues about my background and stuff for anyone curious about who's behind the avatar.
