Life after 30 is a slow-motion suicide without family. It's all the negatives of getting old; watching your friends drift away as they start their own families, your parents and siblings getting old and die, watching everything in your life slowly putter out as the magic fades; without any of the positives of things like family or community to shore you up. Everything rots away and you're left with the bleakness of oblivion, no hope of anything continuing. Anyone who has experienced considerable ageing among his family members (or already in himself), knows how blackpilling it is. It's really rough, once people pass their early 50s (or sometimes even sooner) you start to notice the slip-ups, forgetfulness, the declining of fine motor skills, the difficulties understanding new information. Human existence is a tragedy, there are so few years that you are allowed with full mental and physical strength. Your peak years are mostly wasted with education, where you have barely any control over your own life, because you have little to no money nor autonomy. Add to that the time spent sleeping, working, hygiene, housework, shopping, appointments, visits to the workshop - what do we have left? Everyone who has to work for a living basically leads a precarious existence, regardless of whether they are a simple worker or a well-paid employee. Before they have built up a comfortable fortune and a well established understanding of the world, the body goes downhill.
Is it possible to live completely cut off from the rest of the world? Not using money or having to work. If so where and what are the basic tools required?
Everyone post your tips, tricks, and knowledge about how to best see in the dark, and how to best utilise your scotopic vision.
This includes discussion of lighting and how to best use it, and IR/thermal/nacht vision options.
I'll start: Your scotopic (night) vision takes about 20mins to reach highly effective performance, and up to an hour to reach peak performance - so it's important that you preserve it!
Facts about your vision that you can use to your advantage: >your eye has two main types of photoreceptors: cones and rods. >cones are sensitive to colour and most of your fine detail relies on them, they are NOT sensitive to contrast or movement >rods are sensitive to contrast and very sensitive to movement, they see ONLY contrast: dark vs. light and never in fine focus. >cones are grouped in the centre of your retina, directly behind your pupil and lens >rods are non-existent in the centre of your retina, but are spread around the outside, off-axis from your cornea, making survival possible because it is your peripheral vision that you rely on for reflex if anything suddenly moves in on you >in scotopic vision your cones fail and you rely entirely on your rods, this is why in low light everything looks grey or black & white >this also means in the dark anything you try to stare directly at (if you think something is lurking out there in the moonlight) you won't be able to see, you're basically blind to anything you stare at >look away slightly, using your peripheral (rod) vision and even though you couldn't read a chart you will get more information and immediately identify if something is moving

Any tips for off trail hiking? I pretty much covered all trails at my go to out location but there's still plenty of unexplored land and terrain to hike on but I'll have to find my way through dense scrubland and hilly/rocky terrain. I'm in pretty good shape and have all the gear since I already day hike at least a couple times a week(15 or so miles).
Any /spear/ bros? I was hiking pretty remotely on some old Indian trails along the river in central texas and happened upon some hogs. Wasn’t the first time this has happened either. I have no interest in hunting but I’m considering buying one to carry for defense if one decided to charge me next time and i don’t have a cliff or tree to retreat to. it seems like it would be pretty handy to have around as it was the most effective weapon in general before projectiles were invented
Everyone is too depressed and demoralized to give a shit or enact real change.
There is no point to voting, because no matter who you vote for the System will ensure the status quo remains 1:1 with how it was in the previous administration. There is no point to education, because degrees no longer matter, the white collar industry is dead and professors care more about indoctrination than teaching. There is no point to dating, because the gender war has become so critical that most men are terminally alone and most women are okay with being single moms or spinsters. There is no point to consuming entertainment, because all of it is terrible. Movies suck, games suck, music sucks, anime suck, YouTube sucks, everything is just content now. There is no point to self-improvement, because genetics and childhood trauma impact your entire life and you cannot do anything besides cope about things getting better. There is no point to saving money or starting a family or trying to own a home or get a stable career or make a name for yourself, because the West only wants to outsource all of this.
People constantly tell me I am in a negative mindset, meanwhile everyone outside is shambling around like the living dead. Tempers are shorter than ever, IQs are lower than ever, no one knows how to control their emotions and tribalism is at an all time high. Humanity has literally regressed back into a hunter-gatherer mindset despite progressivism, but we have zero of the freedom or physical advantages afforded to cavemen. Reality is now converging with the Mouse Utopia and Stanford Prison Experiment. 80-20 is taken as law. Jews run every sector of the world. Fractional reserve banking won't ever go away. Narcissism and ironic detachment are the norm. War won't ever end.
I don't know what to do anymore because I'm just one guy. I have no power, no motivation, I'm just a husk like everyone else.
People have begun to lose their hopes and forget their dreams
Nobody cares about anything anymore. Nobody wants to get together anymore. Nobody does anything without getting paid anymore. Nobody wants to do anything anymore.
People have begun to lose their hopes and forget their dreams, so the Nothing grows stronger.
Nobody cares about anything anymore. Nobody wants to get together anymore. Nobody does anything without getting paid anymore. Nobody wants to do anything anymore.
