How do you deal with the realization that you are just a cog in the system?
How do you deal with the realization that you are just a cog in the system?
Other urls found in this thread:
You do what you can to make meaningful connections with other cogs, and form unbreakable bonds, and create such a community between all the cogs that the system is powerless in face of that community.
You don't, you simply let it slowly fuck you up until you don't give a shit anymore.
Or that.
Dont try to escape it, you can't. You free yourself by going with it, playing the game, playing to win, being cutthroat and smart. There's a saying the Germans have that is very true: work will set you free
I don’t care. In the grand scheme of things, humanity will have come and gone in the blink of an eye, to the non reaction of a cold and uncaring universe. So being a cog in a machine means very little to me.

>There's a saying the Germans have that is very true: work will set you free
I get that it's meaningless to fight it, but that saying is the biggest load of bullshit I've ever heard. Let me guess "prep the bull will set you free" is also a German saying?
I'm not sure I'm even that desu.
Learn a valuable skill, bust your ass and learn everything about it. Then start your own business, bust your ass, hopefully retire early. There you're no longer a cog. This is all achievable over the course of your life if you aren't a faggot. How is this bullshit?
Just KYS
This.
Death is an absolute humans cannot supersede. It is coded into nature as part of the cycle. Born, grow, die-- and feed the earth that gave you the first two.
Honestly, the big problem is that everyone wants to philosophically resign because they have zero capacity for self-driven motivation, determination or inspiration. They need something external to provide them motive constantly.
They're the kind religion was developed around; "do good to make earth less shitty and, uh, you... live forever.
After you die.
Yeah."

Yay, finally I get to enjoy life once I'm in my 60s, maybe 50s if I don't plan on having children. Eat a dick.
Why would I care? I'm content with my position in life and the way the system perceives me has no effect on it.
>be a cog for decades to be a more important cog for the twilight of your life
It's amazing how people with this attitudes don't kill themselves more often.
Accept that, without the machine, one cog can't produce anything.
By knowing that I am a super cog that makes the other cogs work faster
Lmfao this is basically the only option you have. This is the only way out other than fucking going on welfare in which case you're no better than a nigger; surviving in the wild, which you won't do; or living off your parents, which is embarrassing and they'll only put up with it for so long
>in which case you're no better than a nigger
And still worlds better than a wagecuck.
By machine I’m guessing you mean society. We are all part of society...and we are also our own person. Enjoy that part of life.
Have a song mate,
youtu.be
Accept this fate and pray to not be replaced. Also hope to become linked to a nice cogette.
What "system" is this?
Mad coping skills right there.
