> How Clean is your living space?
Immaculate, as it's cleaned three times per day by a vacumn robot, and I've devised a perfect system of object placement and usage routine that maximizes efficiency and ergonomic comfort.
>Do you believe you are living a virtuous or degenerate life
That's an interesting question, user. While I strive to be as virtuous and useful as I possibly can, I often find myself coming up short. Sometimes there are odd scheduling errors in my daily routine, sometimes others' scheduling conflicts with my own, and I am put into a bad mood which usually withers the vine which virtue could sprout from.
>What is your Personal life philosophy
Go with the flow. Let my body do the work on the outside, and save the mindful stuff for sleeping hours.
>what is your essential literature
Don Quixote, Tiger at the Gates, and Buddenbrooks are my top 3.
I feel the same about the second question. I strive for a virtuous life but I am weak. I feel like it's something that I have to work at everyday.
>How Clean is your living space?
Clean, I live in military accomodations

Virtuous, no drinking, no smoking, no mass culture, volcel

Quietism

Give me the rundown on this fellow. Where start.
Makes absolute sense.
Again, look at the connection.
I wanna be you one of these days.
I like this one, and it makes sense. Top tier authors in your list.
It's interesting to see the parallels right?
Great pic. A mind for numbers looks interesting
> How Clean is your living space?
Quite messy but clean enough that I can invite people over without being embarrassed.
>Do you believe you are living a virtuous or degenerate life
Degeneracy is virtuous.
>What is your Personal life philosophy
Not sure.
>what is your essential literature
For me it's ancient philosophy.
>have the most autistic living space and life possible
>go with the flow
Can you explain what you mean my degeneracy is virtuous?
It's a good book. It has it's flaws, but it's really worth a read. If not just for it's adivce about studying right before sleep and right after waking up. You can also look up the Ten Rules Of Good Studying from this book. It outlines the basic points.
Degeneracy, generally speaking, is the opposite of behaving in accordance with the current norm. The norm is the biggest oppressor of the individual. To fight oppression you must then break the norm, i.e by performing acts of degeneracy. Of course acts outside of the norm can in turn be immoral (killing without cause, for example), so your degeneracy should be kept within a loose moral framework.
>Degeneracy, generally speaking, is the opposite of behaving in accordance with the current norm
couldn't be further from the truth
What is degeneracy then?
Absolutely wrong. What world are you living in, desu?
>How Clean is your living space?
11/10 Am minimalist with child. Shit, wait, 3/10.
>Do you believe you are living a virtuous or degenerate life
Degenerate. I let bored browsing rule my life and I constantly stray from The Way.
>What is your Personal life philosophy
Musashi's Dokkodo and the Tao Te Ching. The former I've memorized and I repeat to myself daily.
>what is your essential literature
The former, and the Bhagavad Gita, Daigo's Will To Keep Winning, Eiji Yoshikawa's Musashi, and old episodes of Lupin III.
>old episodes of lupin III
My man!
>How Clean is your living space?
For what it's worth there is always a path to my bed and my wingback chair, and I have enough space to do yoga in my room
>Do you believe you are living a virtuous or degenerate life
Feels like i'm degenerate but I also know I've got at least a little more virtue than average (such as not being promiscuous)
>What is your Personal life philosophy
Currently: "It is my duty to live for others." but I'm slowly trying to develop a better one, where "better" really just means one that doesn't fill me with dread because the needs and wants of others never ends.
>what is your essential literature
Nausea by Jean-Paul Sartre and Simulacra and Simulation by Jean Baudrillard

Interesting thread, I wish more people would participate. Bump
>Degeneracy, generally speaking, is the opposite of behaving in accordance with the current norm.
What a useless definition.
>Minimalist and organized. That's at least one part of my life I can do right and appreciate
>It doesn't matter to me that my friends and family see me as virtuous (great grades, polite). I feel like I fail myself every day. I do so little to move towards a life that I want every day and just distract myself as the months go by. Degenerate.
>Everything is destined for oblivion. When we recognize this we're able to see that nothing matters more than kindness and seeing the beauty in the world while we're still here. Or maybe at least, that's all that seems to matter for me in the end.
>Aurelius, Camus, Becker and Dostoyevsky for philosophy seen above I suppose.
