Considering how widespread and ingrained in the human psyche it is, wouldn't it be fair to assume that there's some deeper unifying force that holds this evil together? Sure, evolutionary theory and creation mythos can explain it partially, but there has to be more to it. The fact that such a malevolent beast would be the structural support on which all civilization stands on is a spit in the face of all those who believe there can be love in this world. It all seems like such an impossible dream now. Is there even any point in questioning it? Over time it has elaborated many ways to explain itself. You will be crushed if you challenge it. There's no use. I just wish there were better options to not participate. But as soon as you do, they put a bazillion labels on you. How do you cope with it, Jow Forums?
Is there some deeper underlying structure to all this manipulation?
I want to drop acid with this guy
Sorry, but I'm told that taking acid would cripple me for life.
??? I don't think acid has any long term side effects
>Review studies suggest that LSD likely plays a role in precipitating the onset of acute psychosis in previously healthy individuals with an increased likelihood in individuals who have a family history of schizophrenia. There is evidence that people with severe mental illnesses like schizophrenia have a higher likelihood of experiencing adverse effects from taking LSD.
I wouldn't want to use drugs either way.
It is fair to assume that there is a deeper unifying force holding evil together because it's most likely the case. It permeates through most if not all the major, social, economic and cultural systems in our world, there a few places that somewhat allude it's grasp. If you grow strong enough independently of it you usually get swallowed up, destroyed or befall to the natural forces of entropy.
Although, as you say the best option is to not participate you can still create your own microcosm of cultural influence, surround yourself with positive systems that feedback into each other. It's really the small things we do.
You cope with it by continually persisting despite it all, after all it wouldn't be worth fighting or be at all interesting if it wasn't so challenging. Fighting gives you something to live for, something to keep you going and to energize you. Just the simple act of giving someone a compliment or applying order to the things you come across on the day-to-day is quite relieving and I would highly encourage it. Yes, it is overwhelming but you can't put too much focus on that, focus on the things you can change and influence, take things step by step and before you know it your influence will grow by default we are all already very powerful, it's quite remarkable, most people don't realize it or are too afraid to realize it. It's a great responsibility, you have the power to give life or death, choose wisely the things you say and how you think about yourself and others.
Would you happen to know what that unifying force is? Just entropy? Seems strange. I can't reconcile it with manipulation. It's such a weird concept. Why would people use such a destructive tool to create civilization? Is it because people just need to be controlled? I don't understand any of it and it makes me resentful. They target me just for the way I was born when I didn't even ask to be born in the first place! You talk about doing nice things for your immediate environment, but my whole immediate environment is just manipulative, "happy" people who want to ruin me any chance they get. They will never receive 1% the suffering they cause. I can't help them.
Doesn't matter what it is in particular, "the devil", demiurge, entropy, or some other kind of abstract conceptualization. People engage with this power or it's tools because it is the residing force of this world, at least for now. Tapping into it is the easiest way to make things happen. Part of it may relate to biology as you referenced earlier, I'm mostly speculating myself. None of us asked to be born, if your immediate environment is manipulative then make your own environment or find a new one to inhabit. There's a difference between "happy" people and happy people, the latter is more common.
There isn't much need to identify the forces in the world exactly for what they are, you can get by with generalizations, look into archetypes for example if you'd like to gauge a greater understanding of human interfacing with the world.
It makes people who are crazy get crazier faster
I'd like to listen to OP while he's tripping regardless
That's a huge issue for me. I can't stand not understanding things. And with time I understand less and less. The world is so confusing. I'd like to ask something the people immediate to me, but they're all just manipulators who pretend to not even understand what I'm talking about. They just put labels on me and dismiss all my thoughts as nonsense or even worse, pretend to agree with me when they clearly don't.
>There's a difference between "happy" people and happy people, the latter is more common
Absolutely not! Truly happy people barely exist. And they're not really happy, more like stoic or something like that. The "happy" people are manipulative bastards who run this world. They're the majority.
I'm not "crazy". It's just like a peanut allergy or lactose intolerance.
Crazy is just the colloquial term for noggin problems
The deeper unifying force is called human nature, and it is inherently evil. Think about it: choosing morally most often begets fewer short-term results than acting immorally, and oftentimes helping those in need will ostracize one and put him up against much greater odds than if he chose not to. It is all kinds of fucked and the only way to combat it is to listen to the voice of god inside you. Atheists claim that god does not speak to us, but actually, every moral inclination is god speaking to us. God is a god, not a man. He does not talk like us, because if he did, that would be retarded and it would go against everything the notion of holiness stands for.
Sorry for tangent.
It's a vile insult used to dismiss people when convenient.
>evil
Stopped reading there
fuck off with your spooks nerd
If you wanna be frank ava-user, the ant can't comprehend the evil of yellow rain, but the boy can. It's all about perspective brah.
I'm not into all that Abrahamic stuff, but I get the first part of your post. You know it makes the situation look so much worse, since when they do the morally wrong thing to me, they claim that it's actually the morally good thing. So they want to have their cake and eat it too.
Some ants get pissed on so often that they must start wondering.
Idk man, I just really want to see how the shit all ends up before I dip. If this is all life has for me then I'm cool with that but I don't think human concepts if good and evil apply to anything other then other social and emotional constructs. A photon hurtling towards a black hole is unable to change it's trajectory, but is it really evil.?
>some deeper unifying force that holds this evil together?
Yes, it's called God.
Ayo back to
No problem. I don't think everyone should be bothered by this stuff. I think I'm just really resentful over my own life. Maybe that's all.
The Greek pantheon and the pantheon of many old pagan religions tapped into the true nature of the universe. It's a war between ancient beings and they have forgotten how they were created for their feud has lasted so long. I'm the son of Zeus and a mortal woman and Hera has cursed me in jealousy. There are many like me, perhaps other anons, who are also demigods with strong-flowing blood but we are held back by the force of feminine rage. We either overcome the curse and join our father in Olympus or we die as pitifully half-formed hybrids on earth. I will be destined to spread my godseed as far as possible and renew the human race, which has languished in a sort of inbred depression. Give me your energy and I will repay your sons and grandsons tenfold in the aftermath of the cataclysm.
lolwhat how is my post /x/? Anyway thanks for reminding me I forgot about the black hole revelation, going there anyway man thanks
I feel like you're just making fun of me, but if not, I kind of get where you're coming from. There was a certain harmony in the old faith that Christianity and Islam lack. A lot of knowledge has indeed been lost. I wouldn't take it as literally as you do, but I get it. The old gods are still out there.
That's a nice way to put it ava-user. I dunno why your so notorious here. I also apologize for the pagan shrine thing.
Ever get the feeling that everything is a lie? That humanity has been around for far longer than they want us to believe?
I genuinely think the pantheon is more real than a singular or even dual god. There are too many aspects, too many emotions, to properly be a part of any one or two beings. The only exception is if God is totally schizophrenic, broken and whole at the same time, which defies the nature of reality. So I choose to believe in a pantheon; who or what their "name" or natures are I don't know, but I believe.
And I genuinely think the indigo children meme was true in some capacity and many of us on this website are superior in some spiritual sense. Not having a gf or wife or any conventional life is explained by Hera's curse. I think it's possible wizards and robots are actually their own namesake. We are demigods and it will take many years until we awaken our powers and rule this world with our iron fist and seed.
>I also apologize for the pagan shrine thing
That's fine. I'm used to people assuming things about me. Hahaha.
Not really. But who am I to know? The past certainly does get skewed once new forces come into power.
A schizophrenic god would be pretty annoying haha. But I also believe in a pantheon of sorts. I think there's harmony in a pluricentric world. No one should have ultimate power.
fucking kill yourself stupid psychedelic memeing retard
I choose to believe it's biological desu
extreme human antiquity
wanna hang out user? i need to know why
the answer is simple: Spyro 3 and Fortnite.
Except none of you larpers have the balls.
Seriously user will you talk with me
It's too much to explain but I'll summarize as best I can. Humanity evolved through the ages by struggling against the natural elements. Millennia ago it was foreseen that technology improved at an exponential rate. However, a consequence of this is would mean that one day humanity would no longer have any natural elements left to struggle against and the people's bloodlines would become too weak and fragile, dependent on that very technology to survive. Their bloodlines would become so weak that they would become incapable of maintaining that technology, inevitably leading to a catastrophe that wipes out the human race. This has already happened to several advanced human civilizations in the past.
Powerful families and secret societies have carefully conspired over the centuries to create artificial grievances, replacing the missing struggle of the natural elements, in order to exploit them for the refinement and perfection of human nature and consciousness. The United States itself was founded by Freemasons exploited by Adam Weishaupt's secret society, the Bavarian Illuminati. Every war and revolution in recent human history has been artificially orchestrated, including the rise and fall of Hitler.
People and their ideas do not live forever though. The descendants of these powerful families and secret societies became so disgusted with the ignorance of the people who willingly created all these problems and destroyed themselves. They began to wonder, why save the people when they could just destroy the inferior ones and preserve their own bloodlines? They ignored the warnings of their forefathers and used their powers to create a culture of chaos, manipulation and destruction, but in the process also became infected, corrupting themselves and descending into madness.
All of this was also foreseen. Everything is going according to plan and a counterstrike is underway. Strengthen yourselves though. Things are gonna get ugly before they get better.
>but in the process also became infected, corrupting themselves and descending into madness.
Hmmm I've read this before but I can't remember where. Yeah, even those who you'd assume are fine are anything but, we're all heading towards a cliff.
