Yeah, those are his ideals which he's working towards and which guide his work. You are criticizing a man for trying to be good. I am not claiming Lex is some height of human virtue, merely that those are his ideals and you can him earnestly working towards them. Don't be blinded by cynicism.

@Husseinisdoingfine You will work on figuring out your life and future.

@Husseinisdoingfine Go cut up your rope. Do it. Your mood will improve as you start taking right action.

Notice, you can make it a grand narrative or a micro-narrative. That's up to you. God gives you enough rope to hang yourself.

Every relationship is a value exchange and survival situation. You expect to benefit from women and they expect to benefit from you. Love happens within that. Women fall in love easily. Stop consuming Red Pill content.

There is nothing wrong with working a simple job. Billions of people do it and find happiness. Many successful people started out with very basic jobs. Or even homeless.

How about I talk to him rather than your hypotheticals.

I would take a good chunk of time off from school and work, go into solitude and reflect on my top values and brainstorm a new vision for my life. This is about finding yourself.

@Marcel That's brutal man. Insanely hard way to grow up. Sorry you got stuck with that. You were a damn good son.

I don't expect much movement in either direction. Trump will shamelessly bullshit as he always does, and we'll just have to see how Kamala handles it. Hopefully she is prepared to cut through bullshit rather than being logical about substance. Trump is an intellectual terrorist so he must be dealt with accordingly.

Of course they are sometimes right. So what? That's a low bar.

So what? This is not news to me. Again, so what? That's politics. That's the game. It doesn't matter. The country is not magically turning progressive. The point is that progressives and leftists are paradigm-locked, and they don't even know it.

It was obvious that replacing Biden would be a win, the only problem was that Biden had to do it himself, which was a long-shot. I was pointing out where Cenk is delusional. That doesn't mean Cenk isn't right about stuff.

He suffers from the same thing most leftists suffer from, which is that they don't understand that the majority of people are fairly conservative, and leftists don't understand why it must be this way. As a result they end up howling at the moon, endlessly frustrated that society does not progress fast enough to fit their wildly unrealistic ideals. Society is not progressive and will never be progressive because survival runs the show. All this talk of Marxism, endless equality, and bold progressive victory is childish nonsense. When you really understand politics this becomes clear as day. Cenk and Hasan are selling naive folks pipedreams.

Yes, I know.

That's the whole problem you are avoiding. You just gotta tell them that college is not right for you and that you will explore other careers. Let your parents down. So what? What do you think you're doing when you hang yourself? You gotta let go of this pleasing your parents thing. You don't have to please anyone.

@Husseinisdoingfine Why do you need a degree? It seems like you are just doing this because society excepts it of you.

@Forestluv Wouldn't you fit better in the philosophy department vs hard sciences?

What I said does not mean relationship and spirituality cannot be combined.

Easy to say, hard to do.

@Forestluv Smuggling God into academia? You clever devil

@Husseinisdoingfine Please destroy your rope right now. Do not hesitate. Trust that your life will get better after you change major/career.

Very cool. What kinda classes do you teach? What are the class titles?

@Forestluv That is because relationships are about survival, and spirituality is not. The more you intermingle survival into your spirituality the more corrupt it will get. Which is why the most spiritual people are monks who live in caves.

@Hardkill That's a good summary of the situation.
