Making it becomes a meme after you made it
Isaiah Morales
I don't know if it is or not but I like the feeling of doing something and learning and grinding to do shit. If I make it it's good but if I don't I'm not killing myself over it. Since I don't have much money I never developed the taste for doing normie shit so I don't really feel like I'm missing out

What's the equivalent of making it for people who've made it?

This. I have so many things I want to do after I get rich, not including sluts and parties. I understand having the motivation to do these things can be a struggle, but I don't see myself getting bored for a long time.

Hm I guess that's alright. I was thinking more along the lines of owning a private island with a rotating harem of 1024 young women, so that new virgins are flown in to replace ones you get tired of. Then you can set up the VPs and directors in your megacorp with the ones you send off the island for a nice feeling of subtly cucking a large number of people.

that just says making it and being financially stable is a meme
therefore, you should lose everything and then become rich. go into massive debt and then become a trillionaire. do this in a repeating cycle. then you will be happy 100% of the time.

I don't want sex or lambos, I just want to play video games, watch movies and shitpost on Jow Forums all day without having to work
I guess that's still hedonistic as I'll aways want better games/movies/memes, but financialy I don't need much

If you read up on Dorsey's "lifestyle" (1x meal a day, cold showers every morning, a day of meditation a week), it's an admirable attempt to fight the treadmill.
The most intense selective pressures on our ancestors was long periods of boredom and food uncertainty/famine punctuated with periods of pleasure.

And we end up with the irony that the most committed hedonist, the lusty dog of the world, must necessarily be a stringent ascetic.*

Kayden Harris
do you retards literally have no virtues, hobbies, or skill ladders? Why not just kill yourself since that would be "making it' for someone who possesses none of these qualities in their life
Joshua Richardson
What does any of that have to do with natural homeostasis of happiness levels?

becoming a freemason and traveling between dimensions, having a family, influencing the community or world, starting a company/organization, inventing something, creating art/music, colonizing a section of a third world country, paying to be a space or ocean tourist. I havent made it but i dont understand the existential nihilism associated with people who make it, i didnt know you could be a brainlet and make it

I think the source of the nihilism is that most of those things don't become easy just because you have a lot of money. Most of the ones you mentioned are actually incredibly difficult regardless of how much money you have, and you're still stuck being you regardless. If you expect to have "won" at life in any meaningful way by making it, it's pretty nihilism inducing to realize that doing anything that seems worthwhile to you is as hard as it ever was. That's not to say it doesn't make a big difference. I have enough money not to have to work, but most of the stuff you mentioned remains way beyond my ability anyway.

somebody posted this once, i read every letter and took those lessons to heart

Live simple, if you have no desires, you are free.
You can still reward yourself and splurge, but just remind yourself that is not an end goal.
materialism is a prison

Got a link? Is that the same shit where he said he was proud about walking through the ghettos of SF?
