What is modern society's soma?
>television
>porn
>social media
>antidepressants
there is your soma
this, obviously. It's amazing how many people, especially women, are on antidepressants. It's like the new normal for girls 18-35 now
It actually makes dating so easy, all I have to do is find a girl who doesn't watch Netflix/TV, use instagram, or take anti depressants.
A-any day now right anons?
yep, the shit is handed out like candy these days. so much so that the medication is slowly leaking into the ocean and waterways thus having an adverse reaction with marine life.
it truly is a brave new world
Find an easter qt
>One in six Americans take some kind of psychiatric drugs — mostly antidepressants, researchers reported Monday.
>They also found that twice as many white people take those drugs as do African-Americans or other minorities, and fewer than 5 percent of Asian-Americans do
*eastern
>be enlightened
>come to realization that nothing matters
>immanentize the eschaton
This might unironically be the biggest redpill when it comes to asian vs white women. Every other argument has always relied on some subjective aspect. But this suggests that OBJECTIVELY they are 3x less *insane*. I took SSRIs for 1 year when I was 19 and it's still the biggest regret of my life because I was so stupid for taking them, wish my parents had done more to convince me not to.
>nothing matters
>an eschaton can exist
>immanentize is possible
Your hipster nihilist ideology is crumbling under it's own hypocrisy. If nothing matters there can be no value statements made at all, ergo nothing can be deemed superior, so war might be better than peace.
>tfw took SSRIs for 6 weeks before I decided to stop
A-am I safe?
You are the universe. You're trapped. Stuck. It's a matrix and you can't get out. Nothing matters when you and everything around you are the exact same thing.
That's what the entire occult has been about since forever. Trying to get the fuck out of here. Whether you're a buddhist or a neo-nazi waiting for the end of Kali Yuga it's always been about GETTING THE FUCK OUT.
Until we can figure out how to leave or until a kind boddhisatva helps then I will stick by my claim that nothing matters.
Stupid fucking young faggot.
consumer products
opium
I had a doctor refuse to continue treating me when I questioned his SSRI prescription
started yelling at me saying I would never get better if I don't follow his plan
I don't see any doctors anymore I don't even know why I have health insurance
You're good. It's the people who have been on them for years, even decades that need ought to be concerned.
Here's some food for thought: with 1 in 6 Americans on psychiatric meds, imagine what happens if shit hits the fan and pharmaceutical supply lines are disrupted?
You can't just stop taking many of those pills without completely losing your shit - especially benzodiazepines.
Thanks, user. Hope more people would wake up to this shit
My friend was "diagnosed with ADHD". In the 2nd fucking grade. He's been on a pharmacopeia of drugs ever since and is an ex-opiate addicted alcoholic mess now at 23
Sad shit, these adult figures in his life during critical mental development all decided to feed him drugs rather than let him progress as a real human bean.
I had a decent experience with venlafaxine, I only took it for 6 months though
What's so bad about ssris?
this, plus painkillers and minus social media
social media is an inevitability, as it's something that people want; facebook would not exist if didn't have to for the elites to maintain relative control—but it does, even though the elites would prefer that it didn't
Soma represented instant gratification through technology/science as a powerful control mechanism of society. Social media exploits your release of dopamine to keep you engaged in whatever you're doing. It's purposely programmed to be addictive
whatever makes people sjws/feminists/trannies/shitskin sympathizers.
so probably a combination of mainstream media painting a puposefully incorrect picture of the world, and social media making every emotionally weak person feel like they will never fit in if they don't become part of the problem themselves.
