Very funny, user

Modern education is hell
And you know, we have this bad, but since technology is advancing constantly. Think about how bad they're gonna have it in the future, what kind of fucking hoops are our children going to have to fucking jump through to get a job that doesn't involve cleaning toilets?

Counter-intuitive, but FTL is my go-to when I'm feeling really stressed

Any porn game that can produce a good fap.

I usually play boring grindy shit to relieve stress. Everquest or Elite Dangerous are pretty zen games but then again i got the autism so mindless repetitive tasks soothe me.

It makes you more stressful though.

Minecraft or Animal Crossing

Persona 5 whenever you start thinking about your empty highschool years.

Vanilla wow as a Paladin. Just turn on an audiobook or podcast and turn off your brain.

Electronic media to relieve stress is a meme. The only way to relieve stress is through exercise or to manually change your breathing patterns to activate your parasympathetic nervous system.

Changing your breathing patterns? That sounds like something I'm capable of, how am I supposed to breathe to relax?

>exercise makes you less stressed
>thing that makes you more stressed makes you less stressed
I don't get it.

There's been a recent trend toward shaming people who aren't pursuing some vague idea of "self-improvement" or trying to build up some huge résumé of accomplishments.

The way I see it, either there's an afterlife and we literally have unlimited time in which to do stuff, or there isn't an afterlife and everything is fucking pointless, especially working your ass off to do a bunch of shit just so you can say you did a bunch of shit.

>Do people really have a issue about staying in bed for the whole day?
Yes, it pretty much feels like you're pushing important shit to do on the backburner and before you know it it all snowballs into a massive workload you can't handle at once and then you regret not having done more before.

>parasympathetic nervous system
Probably the most useful and effortless method to relieve stress and help with anxiety. Should be made common knowledge and taught at schools.

>Think about how bad they're gonna have it in the future, what kind of fucking hoops are our children going to have to fucking jump through to get a job that doesn't involve cleaning toilets?
It'll be even worse than that. There won't even be any toilet-cleaning jobs, because robots will be doing them. So people who can't or won't jump through the hoops will probably just fucking die. What's going to happen is that there will only be a tiny amount of jobs that haven't been automated out of existence, and they'll all require at least three degrees. People are going to be fighting over the few jobs that are still out there, and most people will be completely left out. And even the "lucky" few who actually get jobs will still be absolutely miserable, because they'll be working 80 hours a week and not even getting paid very much. There are two ways we can go from there: Mass poverty or a basic income guarantee for everyone.

It always concerns me when I see people talking about how so many jobs are going to go away forever, and the only thing people can do is get more educated because all the future jobs are going to be highly technical and require highly-trained, super-competent specialists. It makes me afraid that the future will make it completely impossible to live a more simple life where you work to live instead of living to work, because there won't be any basic jobs that you can do without making them the center of your life.

It's fucking insidious.

>Coloring games
Well that's a genre I didn't know existed. That's interesting.

Exercise gives me heat rashes, so I guess it's breathing for me.

go to work, get home at 4pm or whatever, crack open a beer and play vidya for 8 hours before you go to bed.

That's the thing, it happens even if there's nothing there, my brain just betrays me and fucks me over like that

The problem is that you get very strong messaging from society that not signing up for the "important shit" makes you an inferior human being worthy of scorn and rejection.

The world is in constant need of repair, if everyone was like you the world would collapse, so there wouldn't even be a world to do nothing in it. Doing nothing as a semi-common thing is new from an historical point of view, we've gotten so comfortable that some can now live this lifestyle, but most are still with the biological circuits that encourage productivity and discourage doing nothing with emotions such as feeling of uselessness, emptiness and no sense of meaning.

At one point all (I mean literally ALL) of the jobs are going to be possible to be made by robot (aka be made by robots unless we artificially prevent robots to do the job to maintain an artificially human produced economy). So the time between only 10% of humans can have a job and 0% will be relatively very short. SO yeah, we will have to build an economy with basic income, but the problem will be all our other biological need and desire to progress and be ahead. We will have to develop game-based economies, or change the way we think or the way our conscience work, or make some sandbox environment where robots implications are limited.... the list could go on and on, so I'll end it here, but no one fucking knows what is ahead, it's so complicated.

Sounds like you're putting too much investment on what people think about you.
Or rather, you think people give a shit about what you do, when no one does. If you've got a job that lets you pay your bills, it literally does not matter if you do anything else. Only you get to decide what matters to you, as long as you can subsist. That's what's beautiful about living in the modern world. You get to be a lazeabout if you want.

>basic income guarantee for everyone.
Not gonna happen.

Same except I didn't graduate and I ended up a friendless, depressed NEET with no goals or ambitions. I have no willpower or discipline to improve my situation either. Shit, I can't even muster the nerve to become an hero, even though I think about it all the time.

The immense guilt you feel as a NEET is like nothing else, particularly if you weren't planning on being one. It's one thing to have been condemned to NEETdom from the get-go, like if you're legitimately disabled/autistic and no one expected anything from you. It's another thing entirely when everyone was expecting you to be a typical successful normie with a 9-to-5 and whatnot, but ending up as a NEET anyway.

You’re a fag, it’s so easy to relax and also work hard. Protip: home is the place you always relax, make it so. If you need to work after work - never do so at home. Go to the pub or a restaurant, or clear your shed at the very least. Then when you return home it’s over and chill time begins

>I have no willpower or discipline to improve my situation either. Shit, I can't even muster the nerve to become an hero, even though I think about it all the time.
Not him, but I know what that's like. The farthest I got was buying a gun, but my parents found out about it and got rid of it. They continued to be dismissive of the issues that made me consider suicide in the first place, though.

>The immense guilt you feel as a NEET is like nothing else, particularly if you weren't planning on being one.
This is especially bad if you're a guy, because society says men have no value as human beings and they only matter if they're accomplishing something society considers valid.

>It's one thing to have been condemned to NEETdom from the get-go, like if you're legitimately disabled/autistic and no one expected anything from you.

Yeah, people probably thought that I (the smart guy who always got good grades and seemed mature and sophisticated) was less likely to end up like this than, say, my brother (who at one point was thrown out of college for bad grades and got fired from his job because he was stealing stuff).

Unironically, schooling needs an overhaul.
I can’t tell you how many hours I wasted in a class that doesn’t teach you shit about the job you actually want, how many times I just searched up answers for homework on Google, and how much I forgot over the years.

And it’s not like school helps me socialize and “get connections” either. They flat out discouraged you from socializing in grade school by punishing you for socializing, and higher education will barely tell you how to get connected while you are busy studying and doing your regular job to pay for collage.

I have been thinking about this a lot.
A return to the educations of antiquity is a good start. Focus on training the whole person, not just the Reading Riting and Rithmatic. Structured classes in logic, reason, oratory, argument. Statecraft, Politics, Taxation all need to be covered.

Most importantly the student must engage. I do not believe that 30 students will ever get anything out of one teacher. Antiquity was 1 to 1.

Teaching has become a refuge for the lowest. It must be purged and only the most learned be deemed worthy to hold the mantle. Industrial schooling cannot continue.

You have to decide which is the most important to you. You cannot have everything. Sacrifices must be made.

People who are very conscientious feel bad if they're not productive.
The two major factors for success in life are high conscientiousness and high IQ, by the way.

Only arbitrary value assigned by your brain. That's why it's so fun. Nihilism means you're free to do what matters to you, even if you know it's arbitrary, because you're not bound to anything else like dogma.

>Nihilism means you're free to do what matters to you, even if you know it's arbitrary, because you're not bound to anything else like dogma.
It also means throwing out any ideas of morality or giving a shit about anyone, and giving up any right to say anything is wrong. If you want to be intellectually honest, that is. Most nihilists aren't intellectually honest, though. Even people who loudly proclaim that life has no meaning still live as if it did.

Because having nothing to strive for kills a human being

Again, you're free to do what YOU want.
Most people feel happiness or contentment from doing nice things to other people. To try to codify nihilism as a dogma you have to follow is peak stupidity my man.
Now, nihilism does state there's no inherent meaning to doing nice things for people, but if it makes the brain feel good that's all the meaning you need.
You're just a brainlet who can't think in abstractions. Nihilism states that morality is pointless but it doesn't say you can't practice it if you want. Everything is pointless. That's the point.

You are supposed to sleep for 8 hours you dummy, if you sleep a lot, you are going to want to sleep more, this can be applied to pretty much anything.
Sleep 8 hours at most and do some exercise to put give movement to your body and wake it up.

But it happens when I sleep 8 hours too

Because lack of meaning makes them miserable. But I suppose if you're a nihilist, you don't care about that, just as you shouldn't care if they were to decide that it would make them feel better to break into your house and rape you to death. Because hey, nothing matters, right? They'd just be doing what they've decided for themselves is meaningful, and if you don't like it, fuck you, that doesn't matter.

I care about how my children will be educated. I think others are also seeing that the industrial system is severely wanting for radical changes and will follow suit.

"the masses" do not concern me, as it is the attempt of centralized governments to create compliant, docile citizens of them that has brought about the current industrial education system.

>Again, you're free to do what YOU want.
Actually, I'm not, and neither are the vast majority of human beings, because most people are stuck having to work to survive. That's the problem with all these so-called "positive nihilists" - their philosophy of "NOTHING MATTERS, EVERYBODY PARTY!" only works if you're rich.

>To try to codify nihilism as a dogma you have to follow is peak stupidity my man.
Laying out the full implications of nihilism is not codifying it into a dogma. It's not my fault that most nihilists haven't put any more thought into it than "My Christian parents said weed is bad and I don't like that."

>Now, nihilism does state there's no inherent meaning to doing nice things for people, but if it makes the brain feel good that's all the meaning you need.
And what if it makes my brain feel good to torture and murder people?

>You're just a brainlet who can't think in abstractions.
No, you're just a brainlet who can't look beyond the surface of things.

>Ha! You say you don’t believe in anything therefore you are going to waste your physical integrity and dignity in my ridiculous made up scenario, checkmate atheists!

What the fuck are those? Certainly not things that matter under nihilism, because nothing matters under nihilism.

That's how I am, except that I usually take sleeping pills instead of waiting to get tired.

>And what if it makes my brain feel good to torture and murder people?
Then do it if passes a risk/reward assessment? Or are you like this retard who seems to think that somehow risks stop mattering?

Again, YOU'RE taking a surface level approach. Your third point is literally "But what about morality", which you already know is a stupid thing to talk about.

Your first point doesn't make any sense but I assume it's similar to the retard point where suddenly you literally stop caring about yourself including your well being for some reason.

And yes saying "It implies that you have to stop giving a shit about people so you HAVE to stop giving a shit about people" IS codifying it into a dogma. Again, I feel good when people I care about are happy. There's nothing more to it than that.

Are you me?

Seriously, sleeping is the only think I enjoy these days, even when I have nightmares I still prefer it over being awake.

Think about it this way:
The dude who teaches you physics or biology is now teaching you shit that didn't even exist when he got his diploma.
So now you not only need to know what he knew at the time, you also need to be as up to date on current tech and methods as he is.
Something which he had 30-40 years to study after he got his diploma you're now supposed to learn in three.

Your own belief system requires that you forfeit the right to judge anything I say as "stupid". I think what I say isn't stupid. Under nihilism, you don't get to judge anything.

>So everyone should just do whatever they can get away with? Well, you do you I guess, but most people aren't comfortable with that idea.
I mean, we're having a conversation about Nihilism here. "Some people don't want to do nihilism" isn't even anything. Tou could say the same thing about every worldview anyways.

>Your own belief system requires that you forfeit the right to judge anything I say as "stupid". I think what I say isn't stupid. Under nihilism, you don't get to judge anything.
Again, you're trying to dogmatise something that cannot be dogmatised. You're trying to add ethics and meaning to something that bases itself on the absence of both. You literally said it in your preceding point. You can do whatever the fuck you want. You can think someone is stupid. I don't see what your logical reasoning is here? Because I think all meaning is arbitrary therefore I MUST think all meaning is subjective therefore I MUST think all meaning is valid? That's not any sort of logical chain. Those points don't follow from each other at all. Again, it's a belief that meaning is arbitrary. Not nonexistent.

>Really? You really don't understand that everyone who isn't rich is severely constrained by that fact? And you have the gall to call *me* stupid?
Because it means absolutely nothing to the worldview. Explain how not being rich means you can't be a nihilist? Explain how being poor means you can't understand that meaning is absent from this world and you have to live by your own arbitrary meaning? I THINK what your argument is trying to say is that because you cannot do something, therefore you're not a Nihilist, so it would apply to a rich man who wanted to be 100 feet tall or some shit?

>implying future jobs won't be creatively based
