You may not realize this, but lots of people are responsible for other people. When people think about improving themselves, maybe they say "I want to beat that guy", but often what they really think is "I hope I'll be ready to take care of my parents when they get older", or "I wish to be reliable if tragedy comes to my family and/or friends".
It is important to enjoy the good times, you are right, this is why lots of culture developped harvest festivals and stuff like that. But when winter comes, you have to be ready. Think about the people growing your weed, make your acid, your MDMA, creating the music you enjoy. What is your place in all of this? Do you only take, consume, or do you also give, produce?
Also, you've been had. The first thing you said after your initial question is "just sit back". Why do you think you should sit back? Who would want to make you think that you should sit back, and for what reason? It was a competition for the driver seat, and he took it. In a funny coincidence, the layout of your post is just a green "he", followed by a space, followed by all your text. He comes first. He won the competition for the driver seat. You were forced to sat back, and now your only option is to try to relax, because you no longer have any control of the situation. I hope for you he has good intentions

This is a retarded conversation but the mental image of Hitler emerging from the Furherbunker and making a last stand with his pistol before being shot down by an entire Allied battalion is pretty badass.
That was supposedly the original plan. At the last minute during the evacuation of documents and key personnel he decided that it would be more appropriate if he stayed in Berlin. The story is that he wanted to put on a regular uniform and make a suicidal charge with his last bodyguards when the soviets made it to his bunker, but changed his mind when he saw what the allied propaganda people had done to Mussolini's corpse.
Whenever I'm alone with my thoughts I feel so fucking lonely and I can't think of a single reason to live life or enjoy it. As soon as I'm out n about or distracting myself with literally anything, I feel fucking great. Quotes for this feel?
I have no quote but it depends on your circumstance:
Do you have a girlfriend/wife and a family who loves you?
If so and you still feel this way then it's likely this quote
you need to ponder and find meaning find a philosophy to provide baseline meaning and then augment it with your personal touches to fit your personality. You should be able to be alone with your thoughts and have a deep and profound sense of belonging and comfort knowing that everything is as it should be and always has been.
However if you DON'T have a wife/girlfriend and a family who loves you... well duh the reason you feel fucking lonely is because you're simply fucking lonely.
notice how there's no actual profile picture, and the profile picture is of someone wearing a suit, something that is designed to equalize bodytypes with surrogates for thicker necks, broader shoulders, larger limbs. no doubt his person spends just as much or more time on clothes as the people he accuses over their muscles. that or he collects funko pops

>dopamine without prior effort destroys a person
So it doesn't matter if the free dopamine without struggle comes if you don't have much of an opinion about it? How about other sources of gratification?
bullshit quote. all you have to do for a good time is get together with friends and talk about nonsense. that's always been free and humans have always done it. it can be enhanced with alcohol and that's the tradition in most places, but it would work either way.
friendship is free dopamine, no sacrifice to speak of. unless this guy argues that you should be a solitary grindset schizo he's spouting vapid absolutes with no thought put into them.

Whoever wrote this quote failed neurochemistry 101. Dopamine isn't associated with reward, it's associated with anticipation.
It does mean it's extremely unlikely that he is wrong. It also means there is zero chance this dude failed neurochemistry 101, and may have even taught it at one of the best universities in the world.
Bro stop with the appeal to authority fallacy. That's just not what dopamine is.
I don't doubt his credentials, and I don't doubt that he *does* know what dopamine is, but that particular tweet does not reflect how dopamine works.

You're retarded. It's not an appr to authority if the person actually has knowledge of the subject matter. If you used your fucking brain and thought about it for 2 seconds you would realize what you said makes zero sense.
The sentiment is good but I really wish zoomers would stop using "dopamine" incorrectly. He could literally rephrase that with "pleasure" instead of dopamine and it'd be 1000x more accurate.
Using the word "dopamine" as a stand-in for the word "pleasure" is utterly ridiculous and an appeal to reddit tier "OMG SCIENENCE" types who don't know and don't know a to know anything about actual neurochemistry.
While involved in reward and motivation, dopamine is NOT "the pleasure chemical". It is the primary neurotransmitter of the motor cortex. When an imbecile says "don't fap to save dopamine" or "don't fap to recover dopamine receptors" he is ignoring that fact that just standing up and jogging on the spot in your room release 100x more dopamine in the presynaptic cleft than does masturbating.
So why doesn't it [jogging] feel as good? because dopamine is simply not the magical "this chemical makes you feel good" thing that these disgusting reddit idiots think it is.
Dopamine is released in equal amounts during times of stress/punishment/anxiety as it is during pleasure. How's that for a mindfuck, redditor?
If you mean pleasure, say pleasure. Don't say "dopamine". And if you want to name a "magical feel good chemical" name beta-endorphin or morphine/heroin. Because at least those actually do functionally make you feel good no matter what and are always produced by the body when you feel good, as opposed to dopamine which is secreted whether or not you're running around, masturbating, being rejected by a girl you like, having sex or fired from your job.
something approximating this post has been in my mind for months and I don't think I could have written it better, even very basic logic about biology will tell you people have a very flawed understanding of dopamine
A year ago I got cucked HARD by my girlfriend. It hurt really bad, I almost lost my mind and had to go to a shrink but at the same time I worked on myself.
Things went so right that I would go through that pain over and over and over again.
That dumb bitch keeps writing to me and now I am her The One Who got Away.
I had oneitis bad for a girl I simped for because she strung me along for a while. Never hit it. She fucked her psycho ex and got knocked up. I came to my senses and ditched her. Last I knew she had a least two kids from two baby daddies and was fat. Was I stupid for simping? You bet. Do I still think she got fucked in the ass by karma’s huge dick? You fucking bet.
Kek, yeah, it’s most women’s dream to get knocked up twice by two different guys, one of which is a literal inmate, and get fat. It’s definitely not female cope to talk about how glorious their fat ass is because “muh body produceded lyfe!!”
who makes these gnostic memes? you can tell that they're made by legit gnostics but yet you hardly ever see actual true enlightened gnostics on IST. It's bizzare it's as though they're out there but not at the same time. Almost like god is making these memes himself.
We exist, but we don't usually bother talking to you. Also, not usually gnostics making those, but schizos, synthesizing things they have read.
Why the fuck are you lifting weights if you're gnostic? Just huff paint and ascend to the next plane of existence or whatever the fuck, this material reality is pointless.
I think the original creator was an account called "sirlulzington" on Reddit, there's a subreddit with hundreds of them called "r/he_comes" or something similar

God created a world where evil was an option, only so that good could exist. Without evil, there is no good, or any way to even discern what good means. Evil is the absence of good. Good is the absence of evil. Making the choice to do good, instead of evil even though evil is always an option, is where you will find that life is worth living after all, because the free will to choose good over evil is the meaning and purpose and duty of mankind.

The problem is your words are contradictory, not that the omnipotence is the issue. If the terms good and evil are defined with reference to each other, it simply does not make sense, the way we've defined it, to create a world with good but no evil. Lets say he did create it. Good would have no meaning, nothing to compare it to. It wouldn't exist. It would then be a world of just unconscious animals I guess.

Can you create a universe in which light can exist without reference to darkness? In that universe how would you define light. I'm not sure about the lore with Christianity, but just speculating about why God doesn't simply just exist in heaven with humans: It seems like there's a common theme in myths where immortals almost have a desire to feel mortal. Like there is a boring aspect to being immortal, or living in some heaven like world with no end, no real troubles. I guess perhaps God created the world to live through us, just for something to do? Or perhaps to test the validity of creation itself. Is Goodness and Love more powerful? Does existence validate itself?

Yes, sure it would be possible to create a mankind without the free will to choose between evil and obedience, but that isn't the way God created us. If we choose to obey him, he wants us to do it by our own free will. You can't make someone love you. Love does not exist without the possibility of choice.

God is indeed omnipotent, and he created the universe as he sees fit. You are a hilarious little man, shaking your fist at God and declaring that he made a mistake by not making people do good. God has not erred. Rather than trying to find fault with him, maybe you should consider the possibility that you are the one who is mistaken.

In the beginning, according to scripture, life was much like heaven. God created things perfectly for man to enjoy and it was all "good". But God also gave man the possibility to choose evil by creating the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Thereby, he gave us free will. We chose evil. And we continue to choose evil as a collective every day.

No, because if there is no possibility for evil, and we have no choice but to do good, we have no free will. God did not create evil. He created a universe where evil was a possibility, thereby inbuing us with free will.

None of these answers the question in good faith and only really paint God to be asshole that will send his children to eternal damnation for choosing wrong despite what circumstances his children are facing.
No one is angry at the world, I mean in a real sense. This quote is right, the world won’t notice, but most people pissed at “the world” are really just mad that things aren’t fair, either because they keep getting fucked over, which is a result of specific people’s actions, or they’re whiny bitches who are really just mad at themselves for not changing things so they could live better.
I hate the use of the word dopamine or serotonin as a synonym for the word pleasure. I’m not a neuroscientist but I think the brain chemistry of a drug high is more complicated than an increase in the two neurotransmitters every norm I’ve knows the name of.
There is a connection, this is just an oversimplification. And pretty valueless. He is just using dopamine as a synonym for pleasure, which it is not.
Think about it nobody goes around thinking about how their behavior is effecting their neurotransmitters. He’s not going “damn doing all that coke is giving my brain to much dopamine and that’s not good.” No, he’s obviously saying the experienced pleasure from those activities is the problem, so why pretend he’s dealing with the issue at the neurotransmitter level.
Disagree there bro. Regardless of whether he’d pass neurochemistry 101 the vast majority of people understand what he’s trying to say and he’s completely right. Stuff like drugs, porn, video games, etc. sap your drive and motivation. The right kind of pleasure involves getting a deserved reward at the end of hard purposeful work.
>Think about it nobody goes around thinking about how their behavior is effecting their neurotransmitters. He’s not going “damn doing all that coke is giving my brain to much dopamine and that’s not good.”
>No, he’s obviously saying the experienced pleasure from those activities is the problem, so why pretend he’s dealing with the issue at the neurotransmitter level.
That is actually wrong and its wrong in the sense that its completely 100% opposite of what he is saying wrong. He IS saying that the problem with these pleasure inducing things are the very neurological effects that happens trough the release of the neurotransmitters in the brain. That releasing a high amount of dopamine, (epinephrine and norepinephrine and so on) in the brain has negative impacts and affects on the person doing it. Its not that they take pleasure from it that is bad, its the after affects in the brain by the neurological underpinnings of happiness that is the problem.
Most of these are: >do whatever the fuck you want bro life should be enjoyed

You are the reason trannies and women do not make good leaders. They all think like you to some extent.
and you're only competitive to feel good, not be good
you have a bullshit healing fantasy that you would get the love and appreciation you deserve if only you acted correctly - worse, that you would not be treated well at all if you were not exceptional

This is a retarded conversation but the mental image of Hitler emerging from the Furherbunker and making a last stand with his pistol before being shot down by an entire Allied battalion is pretty badass.
This actually happened, not with the Rothschild stooge, Hitler. But with the great Basilius Michael during the siege of Constantinople
That was supposedly the original plan. At the last minute during the evacuation of documents and key personnel he decided that it would be more appropriate if he stayed in Berlin. The story is that he wanted to put on a regular uniform and make a suicidal charge with his last bodyguards when the soviets made it to his bunker, but changed his mind when he saw what the allied propaganda people had done to Mussolini's corpse.

Whenever I'm alone with my thoughts I feel so fucking lonely and I can't think of a single reason to live life or enjoy it. As soon as I'm out n about or distracting myself with literally anything, I feel fucking great. Quotes for this feel?
I think depression
Most people feel that way i think. Thats why some women are so easy to get
>Quotes for this feel?
I have no quote but it depends on your circumstance:
Do you have a girlfriend/wife and a family who loves you?
If so and you still feel this way then it's likely this quote
you need to ponder and find meaning find a philosophy to provide baseline meaning and then augment it with your personal touches to fit your personality. You should be able to be alone with your thoughts and have a deep and profound sense of belonging and comfort knowing that everything is as it should be and always has been.
However if you DON'T have a wife/girlfriend and a family who loves you... well duh the reason you feel fucking lonely is because you're simply fucking lonely.

bullshit quote. all you have to do for a good time is get together with friends and talk about nonsense. that's always been free and humans have always done it. it can be enhanced with alcohol and that's the tradition in most places, but it would work either way.
friendship is free dopamine, no sacrifice to speak of. unless this guy argues that you should be a solitary grindset schizo he's spouting vapid absolutes with no thought put into them.
The dopamine from hanging out with friends vs doing rails of coke and shooting up heroin aren't even remotely comparable.
Whoever wrote this quote failed neurochemistry 101. Dopamine isn't associated with reward, it's associated with anticipation.

Different anon, but his credentials don't mean that tweet doesn't misrepresent what dopamine is.
That other anon is right. A gambler gets a dopamine hit when he places the bet, not when he wins.
It does mean it's extremely unlikely that he is wrong. It also means there is zero chance this dude failed neurochemistry 101, and may have even taught it at one of the best universities in the world.
Bro stop with the appeal to authority fallacy. That's just not what dopamine is.
I don't doubt his credentials, and I don't doubt that he *does* know what dopamine is, but that particular tweet does not reflect how dopamine works.
It’s not an appeal authority to say the dude has a zero chance of failing neurochemistry 101 when he literally teaches brain chemistry at Stanford.
>It’s not an appeal to authority.
It’s literally a text book appeal to authority. The only point you made is that the quote’s speaker has a lot of education in neuroscience, AKA is an authority..
You're retarded. It's not an appr to authority if the person actually has knowledge of the subject matter. If you used your fucking brain and thought about it for 2 seconds you would realize what you said makes zero sense.

The sentiment is good but I really wish zoomers would stop using "dopamine" incorrectly. He could literally rephrase that with "pleasure" instead of dopamine and it'd be 1000x more accurate.
Using the word "dopamine" as a stand-in for the word "pleasure" is utterly ridiculous and an appeal to reddit tier "OMG SCIENENCE" types who don't know and don't know a to know anything about actual neurochemistry.
While involved in reward and motivation, dopamine is NOT "the pleasure chemical". It is the primary neurotransmitter of the motor cortex. When an imbecile says "don't fap to save dopamine" or "don't fap to recover dopamine receptors" he is ignoring that fact that just standing up and jogging on the spot in your room release 100x more dopamine in the presynaptic cleft than does masturbating.
So why doesn't it [jogging] feel as good? because dopamine is simply not the magical "this chemical makes you feel good" thing that these disgusting reddit idiots think it is.
Dopamine is released in equal amounts during times of stress/punishment/anxiety as it is during pleasure. How's that for a mindfuck, redditor?
If you mean pleasure, say pleasure. Don't say "dopamine". And if you want to name a "magical feel good chemical" name beta-endorphin or morphine/heroin. Because at least those actually do functionally make you feel good no matter what and are always produced by the body when you feel good, as opposed to dopamine which is secreted whether or not you're running around, masturbating, being rejected by a girl you like, having sex or fired from your job.
something approximating this post has been in my mind for months and I don't think I could have written it better, even very basic logic about biology will tell you people have a very flawed understanding of dopamine

I had oneitis bad for a girl I simped for because she strung me along for a while. Never hit it. She fucked her psycho ex and got knocked up. I came to my senses and ditched her. Last I knew she had a least two kids from two baby daddies and was fat. Was I stupid for simping? You bet. Do I still think she got fucked in the ass by karma’s huge dick? You fucking bet.
>fucked un the ass by karma
not if she wanted kids. she's probably happy.
Kek, yeah, it’s most women’s dream to get knocked up twice by two different guys, one of which is a literal inmate, and get fat. It’s definitely not female cope to talk about how glorious their fat ass is because “muh body produceded lyfe!!”
Women don't have agency and therefore they don't have aspirations. If she's happy in the moment she is happy.

God created a world where evil was an option, only so that good could exist. Without evil, there is no good, or any way to even discern what good means. Evil is the absence of good. Good is the absence of evil. Making the choice to do good, instead of evil even though evil is always an option, is where you will find that life is worth living after all, because the free will to choose good over evil is the meaning and purpose and duty of mankind.
Could he create the universe where good could exist without evil? Is he not omnipotent?
The problem is your words are contradictory, not that the omnipotence is the issue. If the terms good and evil are defined with reference to each other, it simply does not make sense, the way we've defined it, to create a world with good but no evil. Lets say he did create it. Good would have no meaning, nothing to compare it to. It wouldn't exist. It would then be a world of just unconscious animals I guess.
Could he create such universe in which good could exist without reference to evil? And so that it made perfect sense for us? With omnipotence in mind, anything is possible. If we're talking about christianity specifically, why not just make a whole universe a heaven?
Can you create a universe in which light can exist without reference to darkness? In that universe how would you define light. I'm not sure about the lore with Christianity, but just speculating about why God doesn't simply just exist in heaven with humans: It seems like there's a common theme in myths where immortals almost have a desire to feel mortal. Like there is a boring aspect to being immortal, or living in some heaven like world with no end, no real troubles. I guess perhaps God created the world to live through us, just for something to do? Or perhaps to test the validity of creation itself. Is Goodness and Love more powerful? Does existence validate itself?
I don't think you fully understand the concept of omnipotence. With that power in mind, ANYTHING is possible. Solid liquids, based reddit, 0$ in the US debt. If God truly has such power, it would be no problem, light without darkness, or good with no evil.
>I guess perhaps God created the world to live through us, just for something to do? Or perhaps to test the validity of creation itself
That may be so, but it doesn't make existence less painful. Maybe he's an evil type of God, that likes to watch us squirm in pain. Or maybe the masochistic one, if he truly lives the life through us.
You're not talking about omnipotence, you're talking about redefining the basic meaning of words so as to make them meaningless.
>lol God should be able to create solid liquids!!!
We have those, they're called solids. Good in the absence of evil is not good.
>As soon as you get that omnipotence gives power to create anything, you will understand how stupid the concept of God is.
He made someone as retarded as you, that took quite a bit of power.
>that took quite a bit of power
Well, if all he is capable of is creating is russian trash like me then I hope it also takes quite a bit of power to burn me in hell.
Yes, sure it would be possible to create a mankind without the free will to choose between evil and obedience, but that isn't the way God created us. If we choose to obey him, he wants us to do it by our own free will. You can't make someone love you. Love does not exist without the possibility of choice.
Suffering exists to provide context to joy.
As soon as you get that omnipotence gives power to create anything, you will understand how stupid the concept of God is.
That's a FOOLISH take.
God is indeed omnipotent, and he created the universe as he sees fit. You are a hilarious little man, shaking your fist at God and declaring that he made a mistake by not making people do good. God has not erred. Rather than trying to find fault with him, maybe you should consider the possibility that you are the one who is mistaken.
In the beginning, according to scripture, life was much like heaven. God created things perfectly for man to enjoy and it was all "good". But God also gave man the possibility to choose evil by creating the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Thereby, he gave us free will. We chose evil. And we continue to choose evil as a collective every day.
>God made evil possible by creating the tree of knowledge
wrong. evil was made a concept when God created a woman.
No, because if there is no possibility for evil, and we have no choice but to do good, we have no free will. God did not create evil. He created a universe where evil was a possibility, thereby inbuing us with free will.
What's the point of giving me free will when I'll be sent to hell if I choose wrong? Especially if I was never taught the right option?
just do good things, why is that so difficult for you?
Think of it like a videogame, anon. Why do developers add hard modes? Why is there challenge at all? Otherwise, there'd be no point to the whole thing. We humans are wired to take tremendous satisfaction out of overcoming adversity, so we've been given adversity to triumph over.
>obtuse 80s text adventure that's rigged to set you on fire with gasoline if you make a wrong choice
sounds like a great game..
>What's the point of giving me free will when I'll be sent to hell if I choose wrong?
What's the point of sending you to Heaven if you never had the capacity to do wrong?
>Especially if I was never taught the right option?
If you know there is a right option you were taught it.
The question is irrelevant because I know you're not ignorant of the concept of right and wrong.
None of these answers the question in good faith and only really paint God to be asshole that will send his children to eternal damnation for choosing wrong despite what circumstances his children are facing.

Is it as retarded as not being able to tell the difference between feeling an emotion and acting on that emotion in a very specific way?
idk that question is to fucking complex for me man
No one is angry at the world, I mean in a real sense. This quote is right, the world won’t notice, but most people pissed at “the world” are really just mad that things aren’t fair, either because they keep getting fucked over, which is a result of specific people’s actions, or they’re whiny bitches who are really just mad at themselves for not changing things so they could live better.
I hate the use of the word dopamine or serotonin as a synonym for the word pleasure. I’m not a neuroscientist but I think the brain chemistry of a drug high is more complicated than an increase in the two neurotransmitters every norm I’ve knows the name of.
There has to be some connection, seen as all the most addictive drugs nicotine cocaine heroin alcohol meth all cause an increase in dopamine
There is a connection, this is just an oversimplification. And pretty valueless. He is just using dopamine as a synonym for pleasure, which it is not.
Think about it nobody goes around thinking about how their behavior is effecting their neurotransmitters. He’s not going “damn doing all that coke is giving my brain to much dopamine and that’s not good.” No, he’s obviously saying the experienced pleasure from those activities is the problem, so why pretend he’s dealing with the issue at the neurotransmitter level.
Disagree there bro. Regardless of whether he’d pass neurochemistry 101 the vast majority of people understand what he’s trying to say and he’s completely right. Stuff like drugs, porn, video games, etc. sap your drive and motivation. The right kind of pleasure involves getting a deserved reward at the end of hard purposeful work.
>Think about it nobody goes around thinking about how their behavior is effecting their neurotransmitters. He’s not going “damn doing all that coke is giving my brain to much dopamine and that’s not good.”
>No, he’s obviously saying the experienced pleasure from those activities is the problem, so why pretend he’s dealing with the issue at the neurotransmitter level.
That is actually wrong and its wrong in the sense that its completely 100% opposite of what he is saying wrong. He IS saying that the problem with these pleasure inducing things are the very neurological effects that happens trough the release of the neurotransmitters in the brain. That releasing a high amount of dopamine, (epinephrine and norepinephrine and so on) in the brain has negative impacts and affects on the person doing it. Its not that they take pleasure from it that is bad, its the after affects in the brain by the neurological underpinnings of happiness that is the problem.
