>>708836Mind over matter is the only truly human way to live, believing that "that's how it is" is the mindset of an animal. What differentiates a higher state of intelligence from a lower one is recognizing exactly what steps must be taken to initiate positive change in any way. If you can not comprehend what aspect of you as a person are sub optimal you are no different from a dog that has been literally bred to be stupid. The world conforms to whoever takes the reigns, manifest destiny and all that. The internet nihilists say "oh but you need time and resources and I don't have those" then they spend $60 on crack and spend all their time playing COD. You have been marketed "joy" in the form of "consume entertainment" which is merely a hollow promise created by an advertising agent. It is momentary, and to sustain it you need to constantly fall back into the consumption loop. The only true joy in this world is that of self improvement and creation. Abandon videogames, abandon unnecessary fleeting pleasures sold to you by the excelseiates who never smoke their own supply. The only thing you can truly control is your own free will and if you can't even do that you might as well be a rat in a cage. What does it tell you that the most valuable modern day commodity is information? If you want to become valued, more valuable to yourself, more of a complete person, you should strive to obtain information and skills above all else. If you willingly decide to be subpar when there's an entire world of resources and free information right infront of you then rot away my troglodyte, the garbage truck comes by every Thursday, might wanna hop in.
Or you could be more than an animal and actually try to better yourself, your decision.
