True, a couple of years ago it did bother me when young people started pointing it out, but now I find comfort in knowing that 70% of people will be stuck in a shittier life by the time they reach my age. It's easy to ignore the small things you've accomplished, but they are there; for me is keeping a good health, having no addictions, having a loving wife that is not a normie, having hobbies, owning my place, having no debt, working from home (6 years already), having a lot of free time, etc. Of course it has a cost, I have to be very careful about how I spend my money, but it is worth it for having a simple and comfy life.

Your finest moment is somehow both cool and embarrassing. It’s a great “2 truths, 1 lie” icebreaker-type of statement

With people living to their 90’s and 100’s, 30 is still young nowadays. These times aren’t like 1950 when you could graduate school at 18, get a job, but a house, get a wife and have kids by 20 years old. That’s impossible now without daddy’s money. I’m starting to consider 50 and 60 to be middle age. I can still get teenagers even though I’m in my 30’s, so I feel young. Hell, fuck maturity, I hope I am young at heart forever

>finest moment
Teaching myself how to play guitar and bass. i had a semi-successful paid career in live music performance from the age of 15 onwards, been featured on tv, radio, in newspapers, endorsed by a big brand and all that shit. I was a friendless shut-in autist before I got into it music so it probably saved me from the point of no return. Got burnt out by 22 and took a hiatus that I still haven't recovered from, so I ended up being a shut-in neet regardless

Very based indeed. Good on you, user.

Hm ok, but would anyone believe me if I wrote that I fucked three different women in one day? It's not "finest" as well

>would anyone believe me if I wrote that I fucked three different women in one day
I would believe you, but that would seem to be a moment of sadness: how sad if one's finest moment were such a fleeting and transitory thing absent of any real meaning.

People who think of alpha nonsense are the same morons who have insecurities. It's not masculine and not normal.

pick her up over my shoulder and set her down on a bed on her side so she doesn't choke. close the door, periodically check on her, and maintain awareness / deny access to that room.

>Against Method - Feyerabend

white knight beta faggot

let me catch you assaulting an unconscious woman, you're getting a broken arm

that reminds me, (I'm the 39 year old user) when I was in choir class some Italian asshole named Josh came up to me and punched me in my face. I was sick at the time so he got snot all over his face and I laughed like a maniac at him and he got disgusted and backed away hard.

and you'll be getting a call from my lawyers

not the same user but I'd like to see you try

Sorry to hear that. Addiction is the deepest ring of hell. Nothing like battling yourself constantly in a fight for your life. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone

Oh dear me, I was investigating warcrimes at that time and it profoundly changed the way I started thinking about science and information. To keep it concise, his way of understanding science in terms of politics helped me to evolve my methods of analysis, ironic as it may be.
I also think it planted a seed of skepticism which bloomed into an uniquely idiosyncratic way to see the world and all its trivialities.

>idiosyncratic

why?

well "pseud" is a made-up phrase on a taiwanese knitting forum, so it doesn't matter.

because you claimed he is awesome, now i want to know how he is awesome.

if you convince me with an insightful summary of feyerabend written in your own words that he really is awesome, i'll take a look at him. if you continue to refuse to elaborate i can only assume you were just namedropping and don't know anything about him at best or he's an obscuritanist charlatan at worst.

I don't see the problem, the world could use more people who forge their own identities.
